the Little River Co. was suggested. In 1930 the conversations were still going on and it was not until the later part of the year that things were definitely sealed.

In 1933 the President of the United States formulated the Code Theory, known as the 'Blue Eagle.' The code meetings took up about four months of the years 1933, 1934 and 1935. In May of the last year tl-re Code was broken up as the courts had declared it illegal.

Toward the end of the year 1936, I resigned from the Hammond-Little River Company and opened an office at 704 Market Street in San Francisco and took out a realtor's license.

The Merryman Timber Company placed their large block of timber with me and I sold it for the orice of $900.000 to David Bohannon, a successful lumberman from South of San Francisco.

In 1938 Davis Weyerhaeuser, president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, spoke of the large timber holding of the Hall-Davis Company near Orick in which his people had a large interest. His family had put a lower value on the property than the Treasury Department thought it was worth. He asked me to act for him in the valuation of the property and make a valuation, which I did with Mr. David T. Mason, and then we made a separate estimation. After listening to evidence for several days, the court handed down a valuation, about one-third the value of the property by the Department.

The Hill-Davis property was held by two interests, and when everything was settled the property was divided by Redwood Creek, the Hammond Lumber Company taking the area south and west of Redwood Creek, and the HillDavis Company taking the half north ar.rd east of Redwood Creek.

After the division was complete, lloward A. Libbey of the Arcata Redwood Company purchased the portion that went to the Hammond Company on the west side of Highway 101. I was glad to see him make the purchase. In the last three years the mill has been enlarged by a new lumberyard halfway between Aracata and Eureka, known as the Brainard Yard. I{ere the Arcata Lumber Company has an equipment to carry on a very successful business for many years.
