LUMBER HELD
CHEAPEST NOW

The price of lumber at this time
j. much cheaper than it has been for
years past. believe however this
IS merely temporary ,dcflation
caused by unusual condition in the
wholesale lumber market on the Pa
cific Coast. There is a heavy con
gcstion at this time at the mills in
Washington and as soon as this is
'eileved it is generally conceded that
the price of lumber will make Il
sharp advance. The above state
lnent was given out by n. f. Bystrom
Of the Bismarck Lumber Company.
Mr. Bystrom urges that those con-
templating building or repairing
should arrange for their lumber re-
quirements quickly as buying now is
sure to show decided saving.
Lumber enters into such large
part of our building operation that
those who anticipate the use of this
product should figure on their re-
quiremcnt and take advantage Of
present low prices.

American Fans Expected to

American radio fans will have an
opportunity to hear a program
by the orchestra Of Hotel Savoy,
London, tonight when the British
Broadcasting Company will stage a
special international test, lasting
from 6 to $3.50 eastern standard
time.
Efforts have been made to have
Gel their programs during this
period, and many have agreed,
though the action is hardly unani-
nous. Nearly all of them have
agreed to remain silent part of the
time, so that interference will be
reduced considerably.
The concert is expected to reach
from London eastward to Australia
and westward to San Francisco, as
the nine British stations have
hooked up and will send the pro-
gram on combined power.
Guglielmo, perfector of wireless
telegraphy, will address the radio
audience, which may extend 5000
miles in every direction from
London.
