Musical merchandise dealers in Portland, Ore.,
may congratulate themselves on the prominent part
that band instruments play in the functions and
festivities of National Elks' convention in that city
this week, when 100,000 Elks will foregather.
A new organization is the Royal Purple Orchestra
of eleven pieces fully equipped with Conn instru
ments, purchased from the McDougall-Conn Co., is
prominent in the events. W. A. McDougall is the
organizer and manager of the orchestra, and he has
selected a talented group of musicians.
The members are V. Lillotson, piano and director;
Bruce O. Rowan, trumpet; Burton Leech, trumpet;
L. M. Warner, trombone; W. T. Couling, oboe and
saxophone; E. A. Leech, saxophone and clarinet;

COST OF SPRUCE LUMBER.
A preliminary statement of information secured
by the Tariff Commission in its investigation of the
cost of production of spruce, fir and other logs in
the Northwest shows a slight difference between
domestic and Canadian cost. In 1923 174,000,000 feet
of logs were imported from Canada, and, based on
statistics it gathered, the commission estimates do-
mestic production at 8,326,000,000 feet, indicating that
about 95 per cent of the logs going into production of
Puget Sound came from domestic logging operations.
MAHOGANY IMPORTS FOR MAY.
Imports of mahogany logs into the United States
in May were 4,905 M feet, of which 1,635 M feet
were from Africa, 1,697 M feet from Central America,
1,195 M feet from Mexico, and 144 M feet from the
Philippines. Incoming shipments of cedar logs ag-
gregated 1,235 M feet. Imports of sawn mahogany
from the Philippines amounted to 3,171 M feet and of
other sawn cabinet woods, 642 M feet.

In compensation for its copper shortage, Germany
has developed a considerable aluminum industry,
aluminum now being used to a great extent to replace
copper in this country. Production by one plant
( Rheinfelden Werke in Baden) has grown from W)'J
tons in 1913 to 20,000 in 1924.
Exports of wood pulp, most of which is available
for making paper for music rolls, for the first four
months of 1925 show T a considerable increase over
the corresponding period in 1924, according to Con-
sul General Claude I. Dawson, Stockholm, who states
that shipments during the former period reached a
total of 240,726 metric tons (metric ton = 2 204.6
pounds), in contrast to 119,324 tons during the same
period in 1924.
The last wool clip in Uruguay is estimated to be
worth about 40,000,000 pesos, but the market at pres-
ent is almost completely idle, outside of the im-
proved interest shown by American buyers during

A report of the second quarterly ivory sale of
the present year, held in Antwerp in May, has been
issued by Consul General G. S. Messersmith. The
sale was said to be less active than the corresponding
one held in 1924, amounting to 63,137 kilos.
