SEASONS LUMBER
CUT SHOWS DECEASE

Because of the ravages Of the heavy
sleet storm of November, 1921, the
annual lumber cut of Hood River
dropped off materially the past year.
The valleys total cut win reach ap-
proximate 1S,000,000 feet. The Ore
gon Lumber Company, the mill OF
which is located at Dee, led with 15,-
100000 feet. The Mt. Hood and Park
dale plants of the Mt. Hood Milling
Company cut about 100000 feet and
Horn Bros. Standard Lumber Com
pany, Of Oak Grove, turned out about
100000 feet.
The heaviest falling Off came from
a decrease in the cut Of the Oregon
Lumber Company, the normal output
Of which reaches 2400O,000 feet. Sew
eral months time however, were re-
quired the past spring, after the heavy
accumulation of ice had thawed off,
in replacing bridges, rrestles and
general reconstruction of logging
road from Dee to the upper West
Fork Of Hood river. Tne company is
now ia the finest body of timber 1t
has ever manufacturer, and the cut of
the coming summer is expected TO be
up TO normal or greater. The most
Of the time of the district is Douglas
fir. A great deal of cedar and hem
lock. however, are cut from the sec
tion.

have conducted raids against the law

border.
The ku Klux Klan of the realm of
Louisiana also had agents in the field,
it was reported, to learn il members
of that organization, were responsible
for the outrage on the Bastrep-Mer
Rouge highway on the night of Au-
gust "a, when five members of old
Morehouse families were kidnapped,
two flogged and two murdered.
IL the local klan as a whole is
guilty. its charter will be revoked; if
individual members were implicated,
they would be left by their fellow
klansmen to the fate they deserve,
according to the edict of chieftains
who met in New Orleans Friday.

to consider the appeals brought BY
| foreign steamship companies from the
prohibition ruling of Judge Hand al
! New York. and insisting that the
authority of congress extends to con
| troll over intoxicating liquors on Arneri'
can ships on the high seas the federal
government Saturday filed with the
court two briefs which will be used
as the basis for its oral arguments
next week, when the appeals are
reached.
With regard to the proceedings in
stituted by the foreign lines, the gov
ernment declared it had not consented
to be sued and that suit against it
; could not be sustained without its con-
sent. 1t also questioned the right OF
the foreign companies to bring appeals,
insisting that they had other remedies
at law open to them, and had not pre-
sented cause for action.
The appeals of the American lines
were not challenged on the ground of
Jurisdiction, but the government in
sisted if congress could prohibit Ameri-
can ships from including intoxicating
liquor in their cargo. it also could pro-
hibit them from having such liquor in
their sea stores for use by passengers
while on the high seas. There is no
distinction in law between the cargo
and sea stores. the brief held, so far
rs exercise of authority by the United

In its brief dealing with foreign
ships, the government declared that
any difficulty the foreign steamship
companies might experience in obtain
ing adequate crews by the barring of
Intoxicating liquors in American ports
could be readily ohviated by the pay
ment of higher wages.
