The lndiqn's Thrde Wishes

One of the great stories about Indians concerns the good chief who had so pleased the Spirits of the Red Men that one of them appeared to him and told him he could have three wishes, and whatsoever he wished for he would get.

You

So he pointed to the great sea on whose shore they stood 3rrd 5sifl-"All whiskey."

"You get it," said the Spirit.

Then the Chief pointed to a great mountain that seemed to reach the sky, and said-"All tobacco."

"You get it," said the Spirit.

"And now'you have one more wish," the Spirit reminded him.

The Indian scratched his head for a minute. "Oh, well," he said-"little more whiskey."

Edword J. Hines lumber Co. Sees Holr in Sqles Decline

Chicago, Ill.-A reversal, or at least a halt, in a 3-year downward trend in sales and earnings is forecast in 1959 for the Edward J. Hines Lumber Co. by President Charles M. Hines in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. The company, which cuts timber and processes it to finished building products for its midwest retail yards and others, reported sales in 1958 of $61,376,368 were down from $69,457,298 1n 1957.

A 7f-months strike beginning last June closed Hines' big Westfir, Ordgon, sawmill with an annual 40-million b.f. cutting capacity. To broaden its product line, Hines will soon introduce a new method of joining residential roof trusses which will be prefabbed at a Cl-ricago mill, using a simple metal fastening device.

"This year," Mr. Hines said, "everybody is anxious to start new homebuilding. Whenever we have a few nice days, builders will get out and push their foundation work. It wasn't that way last Spring."
