Lumber Output In
Douglas Fir Area
Hits Post-war Peak
Portland, Sept '11. August
lumber production in the Douglas
fir region of Oregon and Wash-
ington hit a post war peak, while
orders continued a firm upward
trend, H. V. Simpson, executive
vice president of the W e s t
Coast Lumbermen's association,
announced today.
Calling attention to the rail-
road car shortage in the Pacific
Northwestl Simpson declared the
entire month's production could
have been shipped had sufficient
transportation been available.
The weekly average of West
Coast lumber production in Aug-
ust was 145,573,000 board feet as
i against an average of 102,746,000
board feet in July, Simpson said.
Orders jumped to an average of
139,924,000 feet, an increase of 3,-
247,000 over those for July. Aug-
ust shipments rose to 137,055,000
from 101,040,000 in July.. Sharp
increases over the previous month,
Simpson pointed out, were due to
sawmill shutdowns during the
Fourth of July period.
"The encouraging production to-
tal," explained the lumber execu-
tive, "was' due primarily to a
heavy demand for lumber from
the Pacific Northwest coupled
with favorable weather condi-
tions."
umulattve production for the
firht 35 weeks of 1947 was 4,615,-
065,000 b.f.; 35 weeks, 1946, 4,168,-
167,000 b.f.; 35 weeks, 1945, 4,632,-
760,000 b.f.
Orders for 35 weeks of 1947
break down as follows: Rail 3,-
132,850,000 b.f.; domestic cargo,
569,740,000; export, 644,966,000;
local, 447,255,000.
The industry's unfilled order file
stoodat 682,491,000 b.f. at the end
of August; gross stocks at 533,-

Whenever Fleet Admiral Ches-
ter W. Nimitz, U.S.N. Chief of
Naval Operations in the United
States Navy, visits his home state
of Texas he changes the buttons
in his uniform and wears those of
the Texas Navy, a small but po-
tent "fleet" of vessels which pro-
tected the coastline of that state
from 1839 to 1845, when it was
incorporated into the United
States Navy. Fleet Admiral Nim-
its was commissioned an Admir-
al in the Texas Navy on October
12, 1925. Last year he learned
that the Scovile Manufacturing
Company of Waterbury, Conn.,
had found the dies from which
they had made the buttons for the
uniforms of persons in the Texas
Navy and he immediately asked
them to make him a set.
