While the volume of lumber sales
throughout the country Is not so
heavy as that of several weeks ago.
the total is large for this season.
Lumbermen speaking of having a
very good seasonable business.
1t 10 true that many buyers are
having difnculty in placing orders
to cover their requirements-par-
ticularly as they desire prompt ship
ments. almost without exception.
Unsold stocks in manufacturers'
hands are unusually small and.
while in some districts they are
being added to. in the aggregate the
reserve supplies are increasing very
little.
Undoubtedly. the volume Of buy
ing has been curtailed somewhat bv
the rail strike. but telegraphic ad-
, vices to the American Lumberman
indicate that so far II has had little
effect upon lumber shipments. Here
and there difficulty Is experienced in
securing cars. but on the whole the
supply remains plentiful.
However, IL is expected that II the
strike continues and there 10 an in

many coal cars are being used to

In some districts there is a short
age OF labor which makes it impos-
sible to expand operations. and in
others a curtailment of production

wood workers are particularly
scarce and a number of mills will
shortly have to close down because
of a shortage of logs. Softwood

The Barrett Parent Teacher Associa-
tion felt that they had an especial
treat in their entire program Tuesday,
October II. Russian violin music by
G. King Benton and Miss Furrow,
and three Russian songs by Mrs. l.. 0.
Meacham, accompanied by Mrs. A. w.
Peters, were appreciated musical num-
bers. Mrs. c. M. Hurlburt presided.
Major Carroll, a one-time rancher of
the Oak Grove district, head of Amer
ican Relief work in Russia until re-
Gently, told in a pleasant, conversa-
tional way and by answering questions
about his experiences in Europe.
The soviet government paid $11,
900, 900 for seed which was sent over
with the food, also bought in the
United States. This was shipped to
Russian ports to hasten its delivery,
as the railroads have reached only
seven per cent of pre-war efficiency.
In spite of the speed with which food
was taken, 100000 people died of
hunger in the Volga region. Much of
the relief work was for country people,
which added to diffiulty of distribution.
Children we're fed at the relief kitch-
ems. The peasants own many small
plots of land given them by the Keren-
sky government. Moscow is crowded
because of moving the government
from Petrograd. Plumbing and heat
ing plants have been removed from
large buildings and sold or become
ruined through neglect. Much wealth
has been taken from the churches.
Major Carroll was asked how Rus
slams feel toward Germany. He said
they have forgotten all about the war.
They have suffered so much since from
revolution and famine. They think
chiefly of where the next meal is to
come from.
The soviets have remarkable polit-
ical machine which keeps themselves,
a minority, in power. Some of them
are sincere, he thinks. While our own
government and economic system are
not above reproach, he declared that
few would exchange with Russia if
they visited there. Theatres, muse
ums, picture galleries and some schools
are kept up.
Replying about the French attitude
towards Germany, Maj. Carroll said
he believed the French people and
business men were willing to make it
easier for Germany to pay indemnity,
but not so the French politicians, who
have promised everything, and, like
politicians elsewhere, want to make
showing. Press Committee.

REV. B0DDY ON Ed
UCATIONAL BILL

Rev. w. H. Boldly, vice moderator
of the Presbyterian synod CT Eugene,
some members of which last summer
signed round robin resolution in pro
test against the compulsory school bill,
which appears on the ballot at the ap-
preaching general election, declared
last week that the public through var
ious sources has been given an errone-
GUS impression of the action of the
Presbyterian ministers who expressed
their disapproval of the measure.
The resolution. Mr.. Boldly declares,
was not an action Of the synod, nor so
intended. But for the interposal of
the proponents of the resolution, how
ever, Mr.. Boldly says, the synod would
action. Mr.. Boldly said:
IL colIaborated with William Moll
Case, pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Eugene, and Bruce j. Giffen, Uni
versity Presbyterian minister in the
preparation and circulation of the reso-
luton. Because of the haste of the
matter but little time was given to its
circulation in round robin form,
Nearly everyone who read it, signed
it, understanding that it was not to be
presented as a synodical action but
merely to express the views of group
OF Presbyterian ministers.
eat the next meeting of the synod.
while !, as vide moderator, was presid-
ing, Mr.. Case announced that anyone
who had not signed the resolution and
wished to do so would have an oppor-
tunity at the close of that session. A
number of men rose to their feet i'm
mediately and urged that the document
be made an official part of the synod
record. Rev. ]. E. Snyder, ID. d.,
then of Corvallis, was insistent that
the synod take official action. There is
no doubt that the resolution would
have passed at that session had not its
proponents asked that DIR. Snyder |
motion be tabled.
"Dr. Walter Nugent, my very good |
friend and pastor of the Central Pres
byterian church, of Portland, who was
not present at the meeting, is quoted |
as saying that the resolution was
promptly tabled when it came up-for
action. DIR. Nugent does not say that
it was tabled by its proponents, the
who were sponsoring it.
"As to those who signed under a
misapprehension, it would seem that
someone was rejecting on their intel
lignce. as the resolution was written
in fairly plain English. | have not re-
ceived copy of DIR. Nugent's ques-
AS to whether | have
changed my mind, think my protests
against the school measure, as anyone
in Hood River will confirm, have not
in the least lessened since the episode
)f the signing of the resolution.
Mr.. Boldly, who at a celebration
July A staged by the county oranges,
delivered an address, urging against
last Sunday delivered at
Riverside church sermon, "a Place
If Unwalled Villages" plea for
Christian tolerance and appreciation,
which, although it could carry no Of
'ense to proponents of the measure
against the school bill. had a profound
fleet here.

last Friday night, had plunged over an
embankment west of the city, the ac-
cident resulting in the death of II pas
sengers, created great anxiety on the
part of families or relatives whose

Portland by this means of transporta-

and newspaper folk were besieged for
news. and for time the city and sur
