"There is nothing hut optimism, optimism of the kind that vou can see 

 sticking out a foot among the lumbennen," said W. A. Priddie Snark 

 of the Universe, after a six weeks' trip through the North and East to 

 look over conditions. 



Mr. Priddie is vice-president of the Beaumont Lumber Company which 

 deals in both yellow pine and hardwoods. His trip extended as far north 

 as Moutreal and east to Boston. He stated that the northern factories 

 were short on stocks and the moment the government told the automobile 

 factories and furniture factories to go ahead, there would be one of the 

 biggest demands the hardwood men had ever experienced. 



Mr. Priddie pointed out that much of the stocks on hand in many of 

 the factories were special cuts for war purposes and would be of little 

 value in the general run of work. Of course it will not be wasted entirely 

 but will be worked up at a considerable loss.
