Lumbermen Look for Exten
sive Demand When Build
ing Work Is Resumed
; Thp principal question of Interest
,both to producers and consumers of
lumber just now, says the American
lumberman I? whir rffecr on the price
'of lumber will ihe advanced freight
rates have. The advance, however, will
; represent noe 1 per cent of the coat
of an ordinary hou?e.
I'.crnise of improved labor supplv
and bi tter weather conditions, mills
have been enabled fo reach more near
ily normal production and as a rule
there are ample slocks wiih which to
care for normal demands, but the
acute car shortage has made It ex
tremely difficult to secure prompt
shipments. As harvesting progresses,
a bumper grain crop is assured and
the lumber Industry is being deprived
of badly needed cars In order to put
them into erain service A feature of
the market during the last fortnight
has been a rush of orders especlall)
nr.ci r.mct inlllj from huvprs who
I were anxious to get their ord"r platted
and the lumber moving before the nW
I Treight ratca become effective. 7 he
slowing up of the building pronm,
i resulting from a combination nf re
stricted finances, high labcr cost and
inabiliiv to secure cement, has cur
tailed the usual late summer demand
for lumber, and as a rule dealers have
I been buying only for their Immediate
j requirements. The necessity of pro
viding additional storage faclL I's on
the farm Is bringing considerable busi
ne-s to retailers situated in - rj
Mstrk B, There Is a tremendous hous
ing phonal all over th country that
mill 1 be mei snnuer or later, and while
much of Ubla i!l be taken care of this
fall and irinter, the bull; of It probobly
will be carried over until spring and
the lumber Industry Is looking for a
dotatand to detelop early In 'his com
ing year wi.l t ix the capacity of the
producers to Biipply.
The liimbi-: industry l looking to
the railroads for a market for a very
large amount of lamber that will be
ni eded for maintenance and exten
sions, for car building, and other nec
essary iinpr cmenls. Ej. stern rail
roads now are buying heavily of ties
especially inany large orders recently
having been placed with mills on the
Paciiic coast (jr ties for eastern rail
roads, many of v hich will be shipped
by vessel through ;he Tanama ciiiiul
Soft woods, especially southern pine
and Douglas .tr. (ire recovering frcm
the market slump experienced a short
time aeo ad while prices are much be
low the hi?h peck attained carh in
ihe year, there is a stronger feeling,
and prices are ruling higher than they
did 60 days ago. Hardwoods are just
now beginning to feel the ctfeet of the
price decline afid are ruling lower
than at any time during ihe present
year This .s a temporary condition,
however, and the general tendency of
the number market is upward.

statement Mr. Hays yesterday made
under oath, I cannot believe a single
word be says on the subject Thst
ho has been caught In bis own trap is
evident."
The document. Governor Cox said,
ishowed by It? preface ibat subscrip
Hons were to be Bought In excess of
$6000, that the "quota" should be
"sold:" and that a minimum of $3000
was to be sought In cities in the class
of St Louir,, Cleveland and Detroit.
COX'S STATEMENT.
Mr Cox's statement in pari follows
"I have read Will Hays' testimony
before the senatorial committee For
months he has said to the public that
the campaign funds were to be raised
Ithrouch Individual subscriptions not
exceeding $1000 In the face of accu
mulating evidence, he admits now that
I In a number of Instances, subscription?
were made running as high as $9000.
but In the same breath he fays that It
was not the fixed policy of the national
committee to secure the money In al
lotment? exceeding $10(io. This Is ab
solutely untrue and again I call Into
evidence a document from the Repub
Mean national committee
MONEY DIGGERS.
Two days after Senator Harding
was nominated, a communication was
sent to the men whom Treasurer Upp
ham himself characterizes as the
money diggers.' The document Is
headed "Campaign Plan Larger Cities."
The very first advice Is this
' 'Secure as chairman for the cam
paign a man widely known and of
commnndlng influence. Have him ap
point a strong, representative execu
the committee of at least 12 men. It
may require two or three days to se
cure such a committee but It must be
hand picked. . . . The lime has ar
rived when some prospects should be
a?ked for subscriptions ranging from
35000 and upwards. In any case. It is
absolutely necessary, first of all, to
'sell' to this committee the quota and
the campaign plans '
MUST BE SOLD.
"The very preface of the document
shows first two things. First, that
subscriptions were to be sought from
$5000 upwards and that the 'quota'
1 should be sold.
" "In a city the size of St Ixmlj.
Cleveland, or Detroit, a gilt edge list
j or at least 3000 names ?nould be se
I cured This list should contain only1
I the names of prospects able to con
tribute from $100 up '
"This would make at the lowest cal- ,
culatlon practically one-third of a mil
lion dollars in cities of the given size.1
FURTHER PROOF.
"Further proof of concealment of
I facts Is afforded bv these word.
Large subscriptibns might well be
reported piece meal dally at the lunch
eon, each liberal subscription being re
ported uitijMijt the name of the sub
scrlber.
"That the whole procedure has been
'an affair intended only for the eye of
the money digging machine Is thor
oughl established in another precau
tion as to secrecy It Is couched In
I these terms
.u msiiuriiuiiM in 1 cam iiuiiuib
I or workers should be printed as care
