The Committee points out that although lumber stocks have been reduced over 3 billion feet sin'ce January L, 1932, equivalent to nearly one-fifth of the total volume of lumber movement, the net decline from the beginning of. 1929 to January 1, 1933 was only 30 per cent and the stock reduction in the first quarter of this year approximately 6 per cent below that of January 1, 1933, consumption in 1932 declined over 65 per cent lrom L929 and the first quarter of 1933 showed apparent further decline from the similar period of 1932 of 20 per cent.

The Committee states that further reductions in stocks are essential to industry recuperation and recommends a reduction during the year of three billion feet unless and until building operations expand much more rapidly than is norv indicated and substantial upturn continues in woodusing industries. The C'ommittee further points out that average lumber pri'ces at the mill have continued the moderate advance begun in the last quarter of. 1932 to a point in March averaging 5 per cent above August, 1932. It recommends that diligent effort be made through exchanges of stocks and sales to avoid unnecessary production of items already in industry surplus.

The Challenge

I give you our President's slogan"Peace and Prosperity ;" The dream of incredulous ages, A challenge to you and to me; Shall we accept it bravely For the sake of a war wrecked world, Till the ominous drums are silenced And the flags of battle furled ?

I give you our leader's courageHis freedom of thought and of will; Shall we rally about him boldly For a pull up the rugged hill ? O, then should he stumble or falter, Sustain him with faith and love, Till the cohorts of darkness are vanquished And the day star shines above..

I give you a wonderful vision Of a time when war shall cease, And the children of men turn gladly To the glorious arts of peace; When science shall lead earth's races To knowledge and power and health, And the gifts of the mind and the spirit Be counted a nation's wealth.

I give you our pla'ce in the picture, Our part in the gracious p1an, Are we wise enough to assume it? Are we ready to play the rfran?

Lo, here is our leader's slogan, "Peace and Prosperity,"

A dream of incredulous ages, A challenge to you and to me.

Takes Over Mill at Klamath Falls

It has just been announced that the sawmill owned by F. Hill Hunter and R. H. Hovey of Klamath Falls, and Willis J. Walker of San Francisco, located on Klamath Lake at the north edge of Klamath Falls, Oregon, will resume operations after a two years' shut-down, under the management of the Ivory Pine Company. The mill is now undergoing a reconditioning under the direction of the Sawmill Engineering and Construction Company of Klamath Falls and is expected to be in operation by the first week in June. Starting on a one-shift basis, it will cut two shifts as soon as conditions warrant. They will cut Ponderosa and Sugar Pine.

The mill is an electrically driven single band mill equipped throughout with Diamond Iron Works m'achinery. It has a rated capacity of forty million feet per year and has produced close to this amount during several seasons. The new operators rvill only run at less than half capacity during 1933 unless conditions materially change for the better.

The logs for the operation will be furnished by WalkerHovey Company from their extensive timber holdings in the vicinity of Klamath Falls. R. H. llovey, manager of the Walker-Hovey Company is in charge of logging oPerations.

The Ivory Pine Compar-ry is incorporated in Oregon and rvill have its headquarters in Klamath Falls. It is under the management of E. P. Ivory, who has been associated with the lumber industry in California and Southern Oregon for many years. Mr. Ivory was recently associated with General Timber Service, Inc., and the Wayerhaeuser Sales Company at St. Paul, Minn.

"The major'consideration in starting the mill at this time has been the general improvement in business sentiment throughout the ,country", says E. P. Ivory, "lumber has never been one of the first commodities to come out of a depression because it must await improved purchasing power on the part of the farmer and working man. That situation has already begun to unfold itself and it is the belief of my associates and myself that improved demand for lumber will soon be in evidence".
