How lrumber l.looks Portland, March 17-Oregon, Washington and California's burgeoning construction industry has absorbed upproximately 60,000,000 more feet of Douglas fir lumber during the first two months of 1948 than it did during a similar period in 1947, according to H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association This has been welcome winter business to West Coast sawmills whose eastern markets have been badly disrupted
due to extremely severe rveather conditions, Simpson pointed out. Oregon and Washington took 155,192,0m fcet during the first eight weeks of 1948, compared to 107,864,000 feet in 1947. Calilornia rn'ater shipments jumped from 34,980,000 in 1947 to 39,028,000 in 1948. Rail business into California has increased proportionately. West Coast sawmills produced a total of 1,251,495,000 feet during the first eight rveeks of 1948, Simpson said, compared to 1,135,745,000 feet in 1947. Sawmills of the region maintained procluction during February rvith an average u'eekly output ol 157,567,UJ0 feet, which is lM/o of the 1942-47 average. Orders for the same period ul..uge.i 155,585,000 feet ar-rd shipments held steady at 154,500,000 feet. \\reekly averages for January rvere: production 154,647,M; orders 158,612,0CD feet and shipments 149,840,000 feet. "The unprecedented migration into the three Pacific
Coast states has jumped population figures some 4O/n since 1940," Simpson said, "and demand for Douglas fir lumber for these areas for new homes and industry will undoubtedly be an important factor in the West Coast lumber industry during 1948." Eight weeks for 1948, cumulative production 1,251,495,000 b.f. Eight weeks 1947,1,135,745,000 b.f. Eight weeks 1946, t,t7 6,965,000 b.f.

Pope and Talbot's New Sawmill at Oakridge
Will Start Operations April 5 Oakridge, Maich lz-With appropriate ceremonies and
with directors and other officials of the pioneer company in attendance, the new Pope and Talbot sawmill will commence operations here on April 5. Anriouncement of this was made today by George A. Pope, Jr.; president, and Hillman Lueddernann, vice president and general manager for the Pacific Northwest. With a capacity of 200,000 board feet on each eight-hour shift, the new million-dollar project and attendant activities brought an industrial future to Oakridge and all of Central Oregon and created an important and vigorous community in this Cascade region, thirty-eight mileS southeast of the university city of Eugene. It is the most important event in the life of the area since the railroad opened the territory to industry. To California the opening of this sawmill is an event of prime importance. It will mean a greater supply of lumber available to the state, as much of the output will flow directly by rail to retail lumber yards in ealifornia' The announcement is welcomed by the building industry, which will benefit considerably by the additional Oregon €ctivity' Pope & Talbot, Inc., under the guidance of the third generation of two families who founded the lumber and shipping concern at San Francisco in 1849, operates some of the best known enterprises in the west. In addition to Atlantic and Pacific, Caribbean and South American steamship services, the v-eteran firm has sawmill operations at Port Gamble, Puget Sound, which it founded in 1853, and the big sawmill and wood preservative treating plant at St. Helens, on the Columbia River, below Portland' When the 32,000-acre timber tract with an estimated billion feet of luntber rvas acquired on the upper reaches of the Willamette river near here less than trvo years ago ancl plans started for its development, Oakridge was a railway community of about 650 people. In the short time intervening, it has been transformed into a thriving city, attra'cting residents and business until it has nol't' around 2500 residents. This involved installation of facilities for a small city, an achievement for which Oakridge gives considerable credit to the Pope and Talbot firm. The Oakridge plant, one of the largest and most modern in Central Oregon, is described by Pope & Talbot, Inc', as
the fi:st unit in a major plan for indefinite expansion. Operation will be made permanent by adoption of the soundest
logging methods, irtvolving the sustained yield plan that begins with harvesting only ripe timber, fosters new growth and ensures refo:estation keeping pace steP by step rvith cutting and lumber production. In this r,vay Pope and Talbot plan for more g'enerations.
April 23 is Reveille Date Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 has practically completed all arrangements for the annual Reveille of Northern and Central California lumbermen, rvhich will be held at the Claremont Hotel, Berkeley, on Friday, April 23. Chairman Tom Hogan has made additional appointments to the Reveille Committee: These are D. H. Le Breton, in charge of entertainment, and Bob Hogan on the Reception Committee.' The annual golf tournament rvill be held at the Mira Vista Country Club. Starting times will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. A Dutch treat lunch will be. served at the Club. The $2.50 green fee will include one new ball. Miland Grant and, Chris Sechrist are joint chairmen of the golf committee. Tickets for the Reveille are $5.00 each, and may be obtained from all committeemen. The dinner and entertainment will be in the Florentine Room. Refreshments will be available in the Green Room adjoining.

Mr. Hagenstein had worked with Mr. Tilton since 1941 and has grown up with the newer concept for forest management which has had its start in the far West.

Mr. Hagenstein announced that his goal would be to bring all of the privately owned forest land in the Douglas fir region under a sound forest management program in the years ahead.

The old negro tap-dancer, Bill Robinson, crosses the continent frequeirtly from New York to Los Angeles and return, and always rides the train. A friend asked him why he did not fly and save all that time, and his answer was historic. "The air is for birds," said old Bill, "and there's no feathers on me."

I confess that I have been of the opinion, based on the fact that nobody anybody ever heard of was ever interviewed, that these figures, and fractions, and decimal points regarding what people think, were made out of whole cloth. Even after learning that there is one person I know of who has been so interviewed, I still cling to the opinion that any good newspaper man can come a lot closer than the poll guessers. After thus admitting that I do know one p€rson who was interviewed for these frequent polls, I am still a complete unbeliever. Believing as I do that you can't tell what one twin thinks by asking the other, it is impossible for me to believe that even the nurnber of samplers and samples claimed by the pollsters, couldn't corne within a million miles of showing actual opinions.

Even today, with Russia casting a black and horrid shadow over all the peace and freedom-loving peoples of
the earth, you still find folks who would argue that her aim and ambition is NOT oOr destruction. As though we had not the words of the great Communist leaders as a background for Russia's present attitude of frightfulness. It was Joe Stalin who said: "The dictatorship of the proletariat is the domination of the proletariat over the bourgeoise, and unobstructed by law and based on violence, enjoying the sympathy and support of the working and exploited classes." il*
Lenin, whom the Communists revere above all men, said: "It is necessary to use any ruse, cunning, unlawful method, evasion, concealment of truth. . . . The question whether it is possible to undertake at once a revolutionary war must be answered solely from the point of view of actual conditions and the interest of the Socialist revolution which has already begun." William Z. Foster, leading American Communist, told a Congressio,nal Committee: "The Communist party advocates the overthrow of the capitalist system . . and the Communists of the United States owe no allegiance to the Government of the United

Douglas Fir was one of the most difficult trees the botanists of early days ever tried to classify and name.. When Dr. David Douglas came from Scotland to classify the trees of the Northwest, he found vast forests of this tremendous
tree which Dr. Archibald Menzies and other earlier scientists had failed to classify to their own satisfaction, other than to call it by a botanical name of Pseudotsuga Taxifola. Dr. Douglas said that it was like a fir in the flexibility of its needles; like a spruce in its habit of bearing cones that hang downward from the twigs; like a hemlock in the way in which the twigs droop; and like a pine in the appearance of the wood itself. Dr. Menzies had described it as "a false hemlock with a yew-like leaf." So the United States Forest Service sanctioned for this species the name of Douglas Fir, in honor of the botanist who worked so hard to classify it. And so it is, and so it will always be, for there will always be countless billions of these great commercial trees growing on the hillsides of the Pacific Coast areas. It grovvs as profusely in British Columbia as it does in Washington and Oregon, and there are also many billions of feet of Douglas Fir growing in Northern California. Reforestation of Douglas Fir is already one of the great industries of the Pacific Northwest, and early results of these tree-growing efforts show highly satisfactory results.

step along the production line. And at this point, the sash are cleated in bundles of six pair and either put into stock or prepared for shipment. In the case of the two production lines for frames a sim-
ilar plan of operation is followed. Here also the different parts are placed on the moving conveyor belts. As the belt proceeds past thc various stations the frames are semiassembled and style C bundled. The conveyor then carries
the semi-assembled members to the cartoning stations. After the cartons are filled they continue along and are removed and stored. As orders are handled for shipment the full cartons are repl4ced on the conveyors and continue their journey to the end of the plant where a mobile cross conveyor carries
them away for loading. At presmt this loading is all into trucks but as soon as the siding is completed it will be possible to load rvith the mobile conveyor directly into the car through the side doors or out the end doors and over the truck loading platform and into the trucks'. The complete R. O. W. Spring Cushion Wood Window IJnit, when ready for shipment, consists of three pieces; the sash, crated, and two cardboard cartons, one containing vertical members and the other, the horizontal parts. At the present time this new factory is operating at the rate of 1000 Units daily. There is plenty of space around the present plant for expansion in the future.
The Western Pacific Railroad runs past the door of the plant, and a spur extends from this line along the entire side of the building, past loading doors. The main-line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, also goes through Reno, and a number of good, dependable truck lines provide daily service to all parts of the company's territory. Several very serious difficulties were met and overcome in the.process of setting up this new factory. Naturally, in Reno and the surrounding section, it was next to impossible to find workers experienced in the various specialized duties required in manufacture of sash. This meant that a vigorous training program had to be carried out by the management in order to be assurcd that workers would be able to maintain the very high.requirements set up by the Rocky Mount Manufacturing Company. Then, too, as the company in-
Electric screwdrivers cre uged to dpply ihe gcrewE thqt hold the metols to the icmbs. creased production, three times as many trained men were being used as before. Even today it is necessary to continue the training program as more and more workers are
being put on the payroll.
Other difficulties were encountered in obtaining certain materials and production equipment such as the sanding machines, the electric power for the numerous motors and the railroad spur. The company announces that it now has several permanent sales representatives located throughout the field. Leo Rider is in charge of San Francisco and the Bay Area. He is assisted by Clark Fulghum. Lee A. Mattheissen, with headquarters in Sacramento, operates up and down the interior valleys of California. Bernard C. Hartung covers IJtah, the northern part of Nevada, and a section oT northeastern California, including Alturas, Westwood, and vicinity. L. D. Grimes operates in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. T. M. Cobb Co., Los Angeles, is Southern California distributor of the R.O.W. window units. Fred D. Vaughn is president of the company, while A. L. Kerper is vice president and active operating head. E. L. (Ned) Kent, Jr., is sales manager. The important production department is headed by W. W. (Stump) Dempsey as production superintendent.

Eugene, Ore., March 16.-The Lumbermen's Cooperative Association was organized at Marysville, California on March 12. It will be affiliated with Western Forest Industries Association which serves independent sawmill operators, loggers, lurnber distributors and remanufacturers throughout the forested Western states. R. T. Titus, executive secretary of the 'Western Assotiation, was present at the organization meeting at thq request of Califor-
nia lumbermen. N{ade up of independent lumber ahd log producers of Northern California, its first objective will be to co-ordinate a defense program against the government program to allocate public timber to private operators on long term "cooperative agreements" for the asserted purpose of attaining a "sustained yield" forest management objective. James Bollinger, Palace Lumber Company, Strarvberry Valley, was elected first chairman of the group. The following were named directors: William Coupe, Clipper Mills; Charles Cotton and A. Speckert, I\{arysville; Stanley Sills, Challenge; Charles Gray, Yuba City; H. B. Severson, Brownsville; Harley Hannegan, Forbestown. The organization meeting on March 12 developed somewhat spontaneously immediately after the public hearing at Quincy, California on March 8. At that time the first "cooperative agreement" proposed by the U.S. Forest Service in California, in which the Soper-Wheeler Company would obtain exclusive cutting rights on 90,000 acres of National Forest for 50 years, met with strong opposition from independent lumbermen and many other interests. Secretary Titus said Western Forest Industries Association would immediately detail a staff man to the new California group to assist in organization work and formulation of an educational campaign. By most recent authoritative count there are more than 1100 sawmills operating in Californa. They are mainly concentrated in the Northern part of the state.

I who dream of slender masts against a crested sea, Sit upon a stool and add up figures in a row. Count the cost of cigarettes and sugar-cane and teaf, who long to take a ship, and go, and go, and go! Gold of Montezuma and the shade of southern palms Grinning ido,ls hidden in the shrines of Yucatan, Beggars at the temple gates who stretch lean hands for alms,
How I want to see them but I know I never can. I who long to hear the winds that lash the angry skies, Hear the feet of shoppers and the bang of trolly cars, Checking rows of figures till they dance before my eyesI who long to sail a ship, and steer her by the stars. Bristow.

The Buyer The typical buyer is a man past rniddle life, spare, wrinkled, intelligent, cold passive, noncotnmittal; with eyes like a codfish, polite in contact, but at the same time unresponsive, cool, calm, and damnably composed as a concrete post or a plaster-of-paris cast; a human petrification with a heart of feldspar and without charm or the friendly germ, minus bowels, passions, or sense. of humor. Happily they never reproduce, and all of them finally go to Hell.

A Plcry With A Morcrl At a neighborhood playhouse in New York a Jewish
folk play has made a great hit, and develops some delight-
ful proverbs.
One story told is of the rich old miser who visited the wise Rabbi. The Rabbi took the rich ,man by the hand and led him to the window. "Look out there," he said, and the rich man looked into the street. "What do you see?" asked the Rabbi. "People," answered the rich man. Again the Rabbi took him by the hand, and this time led him to a mirror. "What do you see now?" he asked, and the rich man replied, "Now f see myself." Then the Rabbi said: "Behold-in the window there is glass, and in the mirror there is glass. But the glass of the mirror is covered with silver, and no sooner is the silver added than you cease to see others, and see only yourself."
Hcrd Lcrbor Foreman (on. excavation job)-"Do you think you are fit for really hard labor?" Applicant-"Well, some of the best judges in the country have thought so." The Rocd To Success The road to success is over the rough hill of difficulty. The path'to prosperity is through the swamps of sacrifice. If you have decided that you are going to detour-going to duck the regular route and reach your ambition's goal without honest service and the hardest kind of work pinch yourself, boy; you're dreaming.
Your Mental Attitude I find that the way I am treated in rny day's work depends on the state of mind I bring into it. If I enter a circle of men I take to be superior to me, I
am likely to be snubbed. If I impute to them the feeling that I am inferior, I will not fail to be so. If I arn self-confident, I awaken confidence. If I cringe, I make others want to step on me. If I am cheerful, cheerfulness is handed me by others.
Men
Men are like rivers: the water is the same in each, and alike in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there, here slower, there broader, now clear, now cJld, now dull, now warm.

Mass Graduation of Apprentices In Oakland April 15 Oakland, March 15.-A timely story of joint labormanagement cooperation in the East Bay and its favorable economic effect upon industries of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties rvill be told by representatives of labor
and management at the Oakland Municipal Auditorium Arena on Thursday evening, April 15, 19€. At that time, the Joint Apprenticeship Graduation Comrnittee of the East Bay u'ill present journeymen certificates in 41 different crafts to 450 apprentices of this area in the first mass graduation of apprentices ever held in the United States. Announcement that plans are nearing completion for the pending joint apprenticeship graduation, first such ceremony ever held under the jurisdiction of the ShelleyMaloney Apprentice I-abor Standards Act of 1939, rvas rnade today follorving a meeting of the Joint Apprenticeship Graduation Cornmittee of the East Bay by Floyd V. Snodgrass, committee chairman. Snodgrass said that the April 15 program is being planned by 51 Joint Apprenticeship Committees whose representatives notv operate in Alameda and Contra Costa C.lounties under the California Apprenticeship Law. "Delegates to these committees," the chairman stated, "are equally divided among labor and management and are voluntarily conducting training programs in the East l3ay which involve some 4500 apprentices in 41 different crafts." Following its meeting, the Joint Apprenticest-rip Gradtuation Committee of the East Bay stated its purpose in presenting the mass graduation as being threefold: first, to dignify apprenticeship training by public recognition of apprentices; second, to inform the general publi,c of the importance of this type of industrial training to the community; and third, to indoctrinate both management and labor members of the industries involved toward getting rvhole-hearted cooperation in the training of apprentices in this area. To carry out this three point program between now and the Joint Apprenticeship Graduation, sub-committees rvere appointed by Snodgrass. Ray B. Cox, president of Peerless Built-In Fixture Company, Berkeley, chairman of the labor-management joint apprenticeship committee for the mill and cabinet division, states that there are 12 mill and cabinet graduates who have finished their four-year course, and included in the group of 450 graduates are a number of lumber clerks, and many other building trade craftsmen.

Their new property is 100 by 4N feet in extent. The main building is of gunnite construction, and is 97 by 128 feet. The paved area at the rear is 97 by 100 feet, and the new shed building for dry lumber storage is of steel construction, and measures 24 by 100 feet. A railroad drill track runs alongside the property, and the company rvill in addition put in its own spur track as soon as possible. There are two large warehouse doors on the side of the main building through which doors and glass can be unloaded.
A large nerv incinerator has been installed by Wheeler & Reeder, Los Angeles, specialists in planing mill incinerators. A blower system of the latest type has also been installed. The machinery and equipment moved in from the Long Beach plant has been augmented by a number of the most modern machines of various types.
The panel board, of the multi-breaker type, is all en-
closed, and is set up for 200 H.P.
The factory is all on one floor, and includes a wellequipped glazing room. Cutting is all done outside in the yard and lumber shed, so that only cut stock comes into the plant. The general office and private office are finished in birch panels. Walls and ceilings are insulated against sound all the way through. The office has an air-conditioning unit. The partners in the business are R. L. (Roy) Young and H. R. Hansen. Roy is well known to the trade throughout the territory.
He started with the Red River Lumber Company, Los Angeles wholesale yard, in 1925, worked in the mill, on the order desk, and then went out selling on the road.. Mr. Hansen is the owner of United Mill Products Co., millwork dealers, Long Beach, which he has operated for the past 20 years. Lumber Dealers Supply Co. was established in L944. Their telephone number is Lomita 1156, and they also have ZEnith 1156 for Los Angeles customers.
FTC Charses Are Denied A denial of Federal Trade Commission restraint of trade charges against 33 Northwest plywood manufacturers was made by Charles E. Devlin, Tacoma, Wash., managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
Mr. Devlin said the complaint was a "civil proceeding to determine whether, through the industry trade promotion and research program, there have been any technical violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act." He flatly denied all allegations and said "the industry will continue its lawful promotion activities." Summarizing the industry's position in reluting the FTC complaint, Mr. Devlin said, "Fir plywood production has tripled during the 1l-year period covered by the charges and is now at an all-time record; the only 'fixing' of fir plywood prices was that done by the Offi,ce of Price Administration; plywood prices at the mill level are determined solely .by individual manufacturers as is sale and distribution. There has never been industry collusion to allocate plywood; prices are up because labor and log prices are double prewar figures; the complaint confuses activities of the Promotion Research Association with a completely separate organization, the Douglas Fir Plyrvood fnformation Bureau, also named in the complaint, which is a legitimate bureau to help manufacturers comply with the Robinson-Patman Act."

Says Price Controls in Lumber Industry Are Unworkable
Salt Lake City Hoo-Hoo Concat
Portland, Ore., March g-The conclusion of Senator Joseph McCarthy that price controls in the lumber in-
dustry are unworkable was hailed today by the Western Pine industry as vindication of the position it has long
held.
V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager of the 'Western Pine Association, termed Mr. McCarthy's announcement the only reasonable decision an impartial analysis of the S.
current lumber situation could produce. "The industry," he said, "has long maintained that price controls are unworkable, unnecessary and un-American. We believe, and the record shows, that controls invariably result in confusion, duplication. and profiteering to the ultimate damage of the consumer's pocketbook and the national economy." Mr. McCarthy, vice-chairman of the joint congressional committee to investigate housing, made his statement in a report of findings and recommendations based on extensive hearings held by the committee. "Price control on lumber would do little g'ood," he said. "In fact, such controls proved so unworkable and so difficult to administer during the war that it is probable that their reimposition would do little more than cut down the supply and force lumber into black market channels. The production of lumber this year, running in excess of 33,000,000,000 board feet, includes a considerable amount coming from marginal mills and inefficient producers. An example of the latter is the small farmer who used his car to furnish power for a small woodsaw. Under price control this production went almost entirely into the black market. It is now reaching regular channels."

Past and Present In the dim and distant ages When there were no saints and sages And the world rvas quite unfinished and awry, There emerged fantastic creatures With grotesquely ugly features And a glint of evil in each baleful eye. In the dank primordial ages, Void of taxes, rents and wages Appeared the crude progenitor of man; In his eyes were speculation
And a hint of calculation, He began to grow a brain and think and plan. Soon the creature longed for action But was driven to distraction When he found his purpose thrvarted by a bog; But he made a quick decision And with sonrer.vhat rare precision, Bridged the dank and noisome quagmire rvith a log. And there we have the story From aeons dim and hoary, Telling how the lumber industry began And how from primal ages To these days of saints and sages, Trees have served the needs and purposes of man. Adeline Merriam Conner.
