HOUSING NEEDS
WILL MAKE BIC
LUMBER DEMAND

Pacific Northwest lumber industry
enters the New Year with the light
est order files in its history; and the
heaviest inventories of the past de-
cade.
With financial conditions tempor-
arily retardlng new construction, ad-
verse exchange operation against ex-
ports, and advanced freight rates re-
stricting the use OF West Coast lum-
ber in markets east of the Missls-
sippi river, the outlook for the first
quarter OF 1921 IL not encouraging.
However, there Is well-defined
streak of optimism throughout the
lumber industry, based on the belief
that financial credit will ease; that
tho unsatlsfled demand for housing
and other construction will assert IT.
self: that the intolerable strain OF
present taxes will be relieved; and
that lower water rates, taken In con-
nection with the establishing OF lum-
Der handling facilities at Atlantic
ports, will enable West Coast lum-
Der to be sold freely In east coast
markets. .t"
In 1920, the territory east OF the
Mississippi river and north of the
Ohio river projected construction, on
which plans and specifications were
actually drawn, amounting to $4.-
5527,245.933. and OF such projected
construction s2.061.Os3.717 remain

the year. forming a nucleus for 1921
operations.
Official housing reports indicate
that 3,400,0 900 new dwellings will be
required the next five years. That
would necessitate an average OF $780,
900 new dwellings per year as against
the previous high record OF 409.534
dwellings. and an average since 1890
OF 334,sOs dwellings per year.

Such PARTIES could bo restored.
without preferential treatment to the
west. through a rate Of 65 cents to
Omaha. 7Oh cents to Chicago and
93 cents to New York.
Such rates would not only make
the large eastern markets available
to West Coast products, but would
also give the transcontinental rail-
roads tonnage and revenue; whereas,
existing rates seem to be diminish
ing tonnage in lumber. and decreas-
ing railroad earnings.
The New Year finds lumber prices
generally below cost OF production.
This is partially due to restricted
demand and partially to recent eff
forts at stock liquidation for the pur-
pose OF avoiding the payment OF
paper excess profit taxes on actual
inventory losses. The stampede to
get rid OF stocks during the past go
days has been considerable factor
in establishing the present low mar
ket.
Following the free-spending. high
price whirl OF 1919. Pacific North
west lumber industry entered 1920
in a spirit Of great optimism. Heavy
demand and severe car shortage
caused buyers to bid frantically for
such stock as could be shipped. 1t
was a runaway market, attaining Its
peak during the month OF March.
Deflation set in during April, but
with demand still fair and Car short
age acute, values eased down gradu-
ally until September 1st, when In
creased transcontinental freight
rates and the tightening of credit
slowed down demand and restricted
markets.
From September 1st to October
18th, the decline in lumber prices
was precipitant, resulting in a drop
OF 40 per cent from the peak record
ed In March.
During the latter part Of October,
the United States treasury depart
ment notified Wes Coast Lumber
mems association that, while for in
ventory purposes the manufacturer
could take cost or market whichever
was lower, the governments defini-
ton of market" was the cost OF raw
material plus manufacture.
This left the industry without OPP
tion as between cost and market for
inventory tax purposes.
1t meant that lumber at the mills
unsold on December 31st, averaging
in cost from $40 to SIS per 1000
more than 1t could be sold for. would
be called upon to pay taxes on a
paper profit which in reality was an
actual and heavy loss.
Many mills took advantage OF free
car supply to liquidate their inven-
tories as far as possible, and this fore

MEMS BANQUET is BIG SUCCESS

The mems and boys banquet given
in the Social rooms of the First Con-
gregational church last Thursday
evening proved one of the important
social events of the winter. About one
hundred and twenty-five men and boys
sat down to tables laden with good
things to eat. The ladies Of the church
did themselves proud in the manner
in which they served the banquet din
ner. Between the courses the men and
boys enetred heartily into singing
familiar songs, and in this part of the
program they were directed by H. l..
Ram. A quartet, composed OF M. J.
Yoran, Rev. H. l.. Goughnour, H. l..
Ram and Robert Randel, sang num-
ber of selections, and w. c. Blake pre-
sided at the organ.
Rev. H. l.. Goughnour presided as
toastmaster, and at the conclusion OF
the banquet dinner, called on Rev.
A. o. Knapp for few words OF greet
ing from his church. Rev. Mr.. Knapp
responded in his happy manner. The
toas stmaster then introduced the speak
er of the evening, Rev. B. F. Martin,
pastor of the Congregational church
of Marshalltown, who delivered an
able address, calling the attention OF
the men and boys to the fundamental
things in life. In opening his address
Rev. Mr.. Martin paid a beautiful trl-
hute to the mothers of men.
On Thursday evening of this week
a banquet will be given for the women
and girls of the church, and it Is
expected that upwards of ITO will be
present. The men will have charge
of the work of putting on the ban
quet. According to plans the best look
