Pg. 1, col. 6 200 VOICES TRAINED FOR STADIUM FETE "We need such community happenings at all time but especially in times of stress should we come together for the beautiful and the good." This is the plea of the music committee of the Tacoma Commercial Club, the Stadium board and the Inter-fraternal council, which are backing this year's musical festival, to be held the evening of August 15th, in the Stadium. As is the custom every year in Tacoma, all city singers unite in offering their services to the one great musical event. Director F. W. Wallis, in response to his call for vocalists, has now, after two months of training, a chorus of 200 voices ready with four big selections. The selections vary from the light to the heavier work of the old masters. IS GOING TO WAR Theo. Karle, the Seattle tenor, Madame Jomelli, soprano soloist for the Orpheus concert and the Seattle symphony orchestra of 50 pieces, are the features that have been gotten by the committee to supplement the home chorus. Theo Karle has been drafted by the army and his appearance on the night of the 15th, may be the last time to hear him before he leaves for the dread and mysterious "somewhere in France." He sang only last month as special soloist for the Portland musical festival and the Evening Telegram says, "Theo. Karle came, sang and conquered." It was Mr. Karle's first appearance in Portland, but it will not be his last if that city is granted the concert dates it is asking for. Madame Jomelli, known to Tacomans who have heard her as soloist for the Orpheus concert, comes to Tacoma after a season in San Francisco, which was reported as successful from every point of view. The program which will be about an hour and a half, will be composed of patriotic, classical and popular numbers. Besides filling the entire Stadium, the committee in charge desires the arena before the stage to be filled with automobiles. LESLIE KIPPER & CO. The business of the Universal Motor Co. Ford branch in Eatonville was taken over by Leslie Kipper, Aug. 1st, and will be conducted under the name of Leslie Kipper & Co. During the two years that Mr. Kipper has acted as manager of the Ford agency in Eatonville, his has sold 110 new Fords. His allotment of Ford cars for this year, Aug. 1st, 1917 to Aug. 1st, 1918 is 70 cars which he believes will not be enough to fill all orders. Mr. Kipper said, this week, "The Ford Motor Co. has not raised the price of cars, for this year's sales, but all orders are taken subject to a raise in price, by time of delivery. We cannot guarantee present prices for any length of time. Business has been very good this summer and I was pleased to be able to enter business myself, instead of acting as manager of a branch agency. >From time to time we will add such equipment and conveniences as the business may justify. We have at this time an up-to-date vulcanizer, equipped to do first class work on both tubes and casings, an air pump supplying free air to our patrons, a good stock of Ford parts and supplies. One thing of importance, we make all adjustments on all tires we sell, saving the car owner trouble and delay of sending tires to factory for adjustments. REV. WOOD LEAVES Rev. C. H. Wood of the Eatonville M. E. Church left Eatonville Monday for Port Townsend, Wash., to take up Y. M. C. A. work attached to the army. He will be stationed at tone of the forts at that place. Rev. Wood will return to Eatonville in about two weeks when he will take his family with him. The community loses a good man and the army post gets a good man for a very important branch of the service. Rev. Wood organized the Troop of Boy Scouts of Eatonville, and was doing good work with the boys. He is a member of Eatonville brass band and presided, ably, in the pulpit of the local church. His many friends regret his departure and wish him success in the new field.

Pg. 2, col. 4-6 A FRIENDLY STATEMENT FROM THE LUMBER INDUSTRY To its employees and the people of the Pacific Northwest. Mill operators are not opposed to an eight-hour day if national within the industry-if all producing regions are on the same working hour basis. Employers of mill and logging camp labor recognize the constantly increasing living problems of the wage earner. They will advance wages as conditions permit. They have voluntarily advanced wages three times since the first of this year and are today paying the highest wages in the lumber industry of this or any other country. A REGIONAL EIGHT-HOUR DAY WOULD BE RUINOUS ALIKE TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST INDUSTRY, LABOR AND BUSINESS It is a problem of competition that only becomes possible to consider in connection with a Nationalized eight-hour day for the lumber industry of the entire United States. Government records (Report No. 114, page 8, United States Department of Agriculture) show 913 mills in the Pacific Northwest and 41, 108 mills in other lumber producing regions of the United States. The other 41,108 mills are working from ten to eleven hours a day. They are paying less wages than the 913 mills of the Pacific Northwest. They are located more advantageously as regards the country's principal lumber consuming markets than are the 913 mills of the Pacific Northwest. On account of the geographical handicap as regards the principal markets Pacific Northwest common lumber cannot now successfully compete east of the Missouri River with the forest products of other regions. From sixty to eighty per cent of a tree is common lumber. WHY PACIFIC NORTHWEST LUMBER MARKETS ARE RESTRICTED Douglas Fir from Pacific Northwest 55c per 100 lbs. The freight cost of principal competing woods to the Chicago markets: Yellow Pine from the South 25c per 100 lbs. Northern Pine 16c per 100 lbs. Northern Hemlock 10c per 100 lbs. The freight cost of competing woods to the Kansas City market: Douglas Fir from the Pacific Northwest 50c per 100 lbs. Yellow Pine from the South 24c per 100 lbs. Northern Pine 25c per 100 lbs. Northern Hemlock 22c per 100 lbs. The freight cost of competing woods to the Minneapolis market: Douglas Fir from the Pacific Northwest 45c per 100 lbs. Yellow Pine from the South 31c per 100 lbs. Northern Pine 7c per 100 lbs. Northern Hemlock 4c per 100 lbs. An "8-hour day and 10-hour pay" would increase the cost of producing lumber twenty- five per cent, thereby further restricting markets and restricted markets mean idle mills. An "8-hour day and 8-hour pay" the employer believes would be unfair to the wage- earner in that it would be asking him to accept a lower wage than he is now receiving- less money to live on in the face of fast advancing living costs which we all recognize. In the event of a national eight-hour day, which would equalize fundamental competitive conditions, a readjustment of wages probably would take place, without adding disastrously to the already burdensome handicap under which Pacific Northwest mills are laboring in their effort to extend markets and place the industry on a permanently sound and prosperous basis. THE LUMBER INDUSTRY IS NOT PROSPEROUS. Exclusive of the cost of stumpage and the cost of selling lumber, lumber producing costs, which were $10.21 per thousand feet board measure in 1913-the last normal year of the lumber industry-have increased to $14.59 today. On an 8-hour day at 10 hours pay these costs would be $17.43 per thousand feet board measure. THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICE TODAY IS FROM $13.50 TO $14.50 PER THOUSAND FEET BOARD MEASURE. Producing costs have advanced more rapidly than the market. Wages have increased 40 per cent since 1913. Other mill and camp costs show an average increase of 85 per cent since 1913. Salaries have advanced 15 per cent since 1913. FORTY PER CENT OF THE MILLS WHICH WERE OPERATING IN 1913 ARE NOW EITHER IN BANKRUPTCY OR HAVE BEEN LIQUIDATED BY THE COURTS. These are the facts concerning the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest. We suggest that every wage earner in the lumber industry and every citizen of the pacific Northwest interested in knowing the truth about the industry which pays 60 per cent of all wages in Oregon and Washington read the United States Government Publication entitled "Some Public and Economic Aspects of the Lumber Industry," published by the United States Department of Agriculture, January 24, 1917. This is on file in the Public Libraries or may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. The Pacific Northwest Lumber Industry.

Adv. No. 51 2t Pg. 4, col. 5 & 6 Mrs. VICTOR INDERBITZEN The death of Mrs. Victor Inderbitzen occurred at the Tacoma General hospital, Sunday afternoon, following a short illness. The services were held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at the Buckley-King Chapel. The deceased was born in Germany 37 years ago, coming with her parents to this country when a little girl. In 1889 she married Victor Inderbitzen who is identified with many property interests in pierce County and who has been proprietor of the Allyn Hotel of Tacoma for the past four years. Besides her husband the deceased is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lutkens, and her brother Charles Lutkens, all of Elbe; also five sisters: Mrs. Rudolf Kolb and Miss Marie Lutkens of Elbe; Mrs. Herman Wachtman of Tacoma, Mrs. Dora Wachtman of Vera, Okla., and Mrs. Fred Langloh of Spokane. Mrs. Inderbitzen was a woman of superior education and refinement and her intimate friends knew her to have one of the sweetest natures and the kindest, most unselfish disposition. Her short life was filled with service to others, and is best expressed in these lines: "I shall not pass this way again, May wisdom guide my tongue and pen And love be mine that so I may Plant roses all along the way. I shall not pass this way again, But far beyond Life's where and when May I look back upon a road Where on both sides good seed I sowed. I shall not pass this way again; May I be courteous to men, Faithful to friends, true to my God A fragrance on the path I've trod."
