PORTLAND. Ore.. Nov. 9. — The
report of the committee representing
timber interest^ in all parte of the
United States on the proposal to re
organize the numerous forest Indus
trial associations of the country, was
submitted at the third annual Forest
Industry Conference by H. D. Lang
ille, of Portland, the chairman.
Mr. Langille explained that every
producing section in the United States
had its lumber manufacturers' asao
ciation. They are allied closely in the
national association with headquar
ters in Chicago, he said, but are by
no means in complete harmony.
At the Forest Industry Conference
in San Francisco last year, a com
mittee was appointed representing the
six main producing districts in the
west, north and South to suggest some
better system of organization. Its pre
liminary report was presented to the
National Lumber Manufacturers’ As
sociation last May, but no action was
taken.

A meeting of the Cordova fire de
