LUMBER MARKET REPORT
+. SHOWS STEADY ADVANCE
Orders for and Production of
Softwood Lumber Practically
Equal, Report Shows

Orders for and production of soft
wood lumber are practically equal.
Production has almost reached its
peak. In orders there has been a
slight falling off which, however, has
not weakened the market and does
not indicate any marked change in
buying policy. Home building rec
ords are continually being passed,
and there is no sign of let-up in de-
mand for softwood construction lum-
Der, but, even should there be con-
siderable slackening in the buying of
lumber for home building, seemingly
it will be counterbalanced by increas-
ing factory and rural demand. There
is reason to believe that, while bust
ness may not be so brisk during mid
summer, its volume will be so good
that dullness will hardly be noticed.
Prices have changed little within the
last two weeks, according to the
American Lumberman, for although
demand is sufficient to hold them at
present levels, it is not heavy enough
to cause further increases. A large
number of cars are in transit but are
being absorbed without difficulty
an excellent indication Of the funda-
mental strength Of the market.
With building Of homes reaching
record-breaking proportions, it is evil
dent that there is going to be some
heavy buying of furniture. When
moving into a new home, people do
not always buy complete sets of new
furniture, but they do buy some, so
the furniture manufacturers expect
very keen demand this fall. Such
purchases will in turn benefit the
hardwood producers. As matter of
fact, demand for hardwoods is show
ing steady and certain expansion
that augurs we'll for the immediate
future.

Price Cuts and Extension Of
Good Roads Develop New
Buying, He Declares
NEW PARTS FOR CARS r.. -.
ALSO GOOD BUSINESS
Statistician States Business in
General Holding Its Own;
IL Per Cent Below Normal

Wellesley Hills, Mass, June 3D.
In discussing the general situation
for the week, Roger w. Babson,
the statistician, today made the fol-
lowing analysis of the automobile
industry. &@--... r..
s'Many persons have been sur
prised at the recent rebound in the
automobile industry and in the
price Of automobile securities. Those
however, who have been carefully
watching the situation are not sur
prised. The price cut in automobiles
developed new buying; the extern
sion of the good roads movement
increased the. point Of saturation;
and the reduction in the cost of tires
and general supplies encouraged
more people to use cars. The man
who has never had any car > now
drives one; and the man who was
content with one car now has two
or three. No, the saturation point
has not yet been reached. Moreover
as our system of good roads is ex-
tended, this saturation point is
pushed further and further away.
The saturation point for automobiles
in this country will not be reached
until our system of highways has
been completed and perfected. =
''The great factor however, which
is today making business for the
automobile companies is the Silent
and insistant purchasing Of "'parts"
by the present users of cars, People
have no idea Of the tremendous bus
mess existing today in automobile
parts. It is generally estimated that
about ten billion dollars is invested
in automobiles and their accessories.
It is further estimated that man
spends about 5 per cent year on
repairs and that large proportion
of this is for new parts. This means
that from three hundred to four
hundred million dollars Of automo-
bile business per year exists in the
manufacture and sale of new parts
for cars already sold. Not only is this
a large amout of money, but there
is as much net profit in this bust
ness as in double or treble the same
amount of automobile business. If
you have any doubt of this take the
"parts" catalog of the car separately.
Not only are the companies getting
high prices for these parts, but there
is. particularly no expense. connect
ed with the selling Of these parts.
When buying a complete car may
buy from any one Of hundred
companies, but when buying part
to one of my present cars I must
buy of the company which manu-
facturers the car. Sale of these parts
is bringing into the older companies
tremendous income.
"Investors will therefore see that

Washington, June 24.-(Capital
News Service)-"Readers Of the
daily and weekly press of the coun-
try who pay careful attention to the
trend of the times find in the collec-
ton of odd stories and unique hap
penings from the four quarters Of
the globe an inspiration and an cdu-
cation" So states Prof. Carleton
Gregory, Of Washington, and adduces
as proof that single issue Of one
paper gives information regarding
law, church, politics, crime, religion,
science, adventure, finance, music,
art, and inspiration. The issue re-
ferred to contains the following head
lines among others:
Rubber and Auto Gas Made from
Corncobs"; "Prints Taken from
Cows, Noses Afford Finger-Print
Identification for Breeders"; "Juror
Husband Votes Wife Divorce; Valid,

"Divers Seek Gold in Lusitania';
"Office Boy and Day Laborer Rise to
$4,000 Salaries"
"No man is educated merely be-
cause he graduates from an institu-
ton Of education," continued Prof.
Gregory. Education is never to be
finished. Wise readers Of the daily
press can win for themselves that
wide knowledge Of facts which make
the learned man wiser and the wlsa

it in connection with the fair so as
not to interfere with Northern
Minnesota's big agricultural and in

Legion has promised to- assist the
committee in staging this event. Gs
The pageant will be staged three

Gubernatorial Fight Promises

Boston, June "a Omitted Press).
Medicine men of the Democratic
party in Massachusetts, are busy con-
cocting political sleep potion which
they hope to administer to Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge in the election
next November. 81, &.,s%-
Pow-wows are the order Of the
day and Democrats are being urged
to stand together, forget petty party
quarrels and unite to defeat Senator
Lodge. - "
The opposition on Lodge-and It
is stronger by far this year than ever
before-is becoming tangible al
the campaign grows. His enemies
who have been stalking him in the
political underbrush, now are COM
ing out into the open field prepared
for what they hope will be a killing.
But Lodge has not been Senator
from Mass. for years for nothing.
His following is very strong and
leaders of both parties know that he
will poll heavy vote. It is the fore
gone conclusion that Lodge will
have strong backing from the news
papers of the state and the old
standpat Republicans.
Sherman l.. Whipple, a democrat
and one of the most brilliant law
yers in New England, has an
nounced he will oppose Lodge. And
Colonel William A. CASTOR another,
power in the Democratic fold, .has
also whirled his hat into the ming.
There have been vague runl0rs OF
Whipplc withdrawing as, a result Of
Gaston's action, but just now such
reports are denied.

Many Democratic leaders hold that
if anyone in the party can dis

man. However, Whipple, SO far a.
his candidacy is concerned, has been
after rather than seeking and it il
doubtful whether he would consent
to "carry on" unless he is assured
Of the united support Of his party.
Candidates have until August II to
withdraw and much may happen
before that date. The primaries oc-
cur September IL.
Republicans here look with good
deal of anxiety on the possibility
of former Governor Samuel W.
Mccall running as an independent
Republican against Lodge. Mccall
has denied that he will run. Never

ocrats-the former anxiously ana
the latter hopefully-are watching
him, despite his statement that M

While the Sepublicans are not
afraid of Mccall being elected, they
fear that he might poll enough

TAKE ANOTHER. SHOT

A naturalist, writes James b.
Thorsen, in one of his clever in
surance letters, once divided an
aquarium with clear glass par
tition. He put a lusty bass in
one section and minnows in the
other.
The bass struck every time a
minnow approached the glass
partition. After three days OF
fruitless lunging which Melted
him only bruises, he ceased his
efforts and subsisted on the food
that was dropped in. Then the
naturalist removed the glass par
tition. The minnows swan all
around the bass, but he did not
strike at a single one. He had
been thoroughly sold on the idea
that business was bad. There's
a moral here-take another shot
at the partition. Maybe it isn't
there any more!-The Recorder.

INCREASED TOURIST TRAFFIC
Is BIG HELP TO FARMER

That the increased tourist traf-
fic the State is enjoying will be
big help to the farmer, is the
statement made by Herbert Cuth-
bert, head of the Northwest Tour
list Association, in his annual re-
port. Says Mr.. Cuthbert:
The tourist travel will greatly
help in making the farmer more
prosperous. In the first place it
must help the farmer by creating
greater demand for what he
produces. This association es-
Inmates that there will be not less
than One Million people, tran
silent visitors, in the Pacific
Northwest in 1923, which must
create a greater demand for
thousands of dollars worth of
farm products, especially in dali
rying, poultry raising, all kinds
of meats, truck gardening and
the growing of fruit.
Mr.. Scollard, president United
Dairymen's Association, has re-
ferred to the great injury done
to dairymen through the sale of
substitutes for milk and butter
The tourist travel largely repairs
that injury in the Pacific North
west, and | would like to draw
Mr.. Scollard's attention to this
and ask him how many quarts
of milk, pounds of butter, as well
as pounds of meats, vegetables,
poultry, and dozens Of eggs
million people sojourning
amongst us for fourteen days
will purchase from the dairymen
and the farmers.
If these were the only benefits,
the development of the tourist
travel would be we'll worth while,
but the bringing Of million peO-
pie into the Pacific Northwest
will have a much greater effect
on rural upbuilding in many
other ways.
We have referred to the tour
list as the colonizer This is es-
pecially true of the man who
travels by automobile. A very
large percentage of them are
looking for new lands upon which
to settle, for new homes or for
new farms and ranches. They

they live in the East. They may
have some sons who wish to To-
cate in the West. They may de-
sire to partially retire and in
stead of cultivating from three
hundred to a thousand acres OF
land at home to secure smaller
areas that will not entail so much
arduous work and yet bring them
in a fair living.
To these men our cut-Over and
logged-off lands, our fruit grow
ing areas, irrigated or nonirri-
gated, our poultry ranches and
our berry growing districts will
particularly appeal, but you can
not sell to these people if they
remain in Iowa, Illinois, Mich
igan or New York. You cannot
sell them homes by mail, or
ranches by literature. They must
see what you have to sell person
ally and, therefore, the very best
thing you can do for this state
and the Pacific Northwest is to
induce them to make a tour OF
the state and of this western
country That this the most eff
fective way of getting a new pop
ulation is brought out by the
statement / have already quoted,
that so per cent of the new res
idents of California came first as
tourists.
