A so- cial hour and dinner will conclude the day. No registration fees will, be charged . Popular demand for a Washing- ton. conference developed prompt- ly following a similar session held recently" in Oregon which drew nearly 500 persons from all over the western part of the state. Sponsor of 'both conferences is Western Forest Industries Assoc- iation, recently organized to pro- vide unified expression for the "little fellows." Active member- ship includes operators 'of small sawmills, independent 1 o g g e r s, lumber remanufacturers and dis- tributors. The extent of the rapid expan- sion of the small mill industry and its affiliated interests is often un- der-estimated by the public," R: T. Titus executive secretary of the association, stated 'recently. 'There are now some 1500 small mills operating in Western Wash- ington and Oregon. They are pro- ducing possibly 40 per cent of the total lumber cut in the Douglas fir region.

Last year, our earnings in this State had dropped to the lowest return in 30 years. An even beper service is on the way. We are already working on a huge con- struction program to keep pace witlf'Wash- ington's growth. Many improvements are coming.., expansions into many new areas are in full swing. We're on our way to bring- ing you a better, more extensive service than ever before. It is estimated that this expansion pro- gram will cost $25,000,000 in 1947 alone.

We have applied for statewide increases in rates in order that we may be able, in view of rising costs, to continue to furnish ade- quate and dependable service. Our proposal includes, for many communities, extensive Service changes, in order to meet the public need for an ever-improving service. j ,'') Present local rates were set more than 20 years ago. Charges now being made for local tele- phone ervice ia Washington are based on rates established between 1907 and 1924 in the light of conditions then existing. Today these rates are inadequate and have been for a number of years. Telephone costs have more than ii ''.' "¢oubled since 1940 alone. Although our business in Washington has grown and revenues have increased substan- tially in the last six years, costs have gone up even faster. Payroll has almost tripled, due to more em- ployees and higher ,Wages.
