ALASKA WOODS SUPERIOR FOR
 ALL PURPOSES
Gardner Quotes Govern ment Figures to Prove
 Quality Local Lumber

Alaskan spruce and hemloek Ire superior to other Pacific Coast woods for building pur- poses. declared C. T. Gardner. at meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night. in a talk in which he urged local builders to Ise lumber manufactured from Alaskan timber in preference to other woods. He illustrated his talk with graphs and cited Gov srnment statistics to prove his contention of superiority.
 Tests conducted by the Forest Service experiment station at Madison, Wis, said MT. Gardner, put Alaska Sitka spruce and western hemlock at the head of woods of their class. Specimens If wood for the tests were gath cred by him in 1922.
 Shrinkage Is Less
 "The man who orders Douglas ir for building on the theory that he is getting wood that will show less shrinkage than the local lumber is making a mis- take" MT. Gardner said. In sup port of this assertion, he cited figures from the Madison station experiments. Alaska Sitka spruce shrunk only four per cent as compared to five per cent for Douglas fir. Alaska western hem lock had a shrinkage of 4.5 per cent, or less than fir. Sitka spruce from the Pacific States had shrinkage of 4.3 per cent, and hemlock about the same

 In concluding, Mir. Gardner urged greater local use of Terri toral products.

Political Tsnele

WASHINGTON, March 31--The death of Senator Frank B. Willis brings to an end one of the most spectacular contests of the Re- publican Presidential campaign but at the same time leaves the Ohio State Republican politics in tangle, the solution of which Is difficult to foresee.
 Senator Willis and Herbert C.. Hoover were entered against each other in the primaries to be held April 24
 Under the Ohio law it Is neces- sary for a candidate to express his willingness to enter the pri- mary and the date for filing such expression expired more than one month ago.
 Whether it is possible to re- move Willis name from the situ- ation is for Ohio leaders to de- eide. It is also for the Senator's friends to determine whether they will give up the campaign against Hoover andopermit the delegation to go to him by default or wheth- CT they will continue to fight in Willis's name with the view of swinging the delegation to some other anti-Hoover candidate. If the latter course is adopted, it is assumed an attempt will be made to line up the Ohio delegates for candidate who has expressed his willingness to join forces with the Willis contingent in Ohio and has entered the primaries as sec. ond choice candidate.
