Fully 600 lumbermen attended, coming from all parts of California, as well as from Washington and Oregon, and there was hilarity and fun for all. The golf tournament was a big success, 98 players taking part, which was a record for the event.

At the banquet which followed the cocktail hour, Al Kelley, president of the Club, made the address of welcome, expressing his thanks to the visitors, the sponsors, and to the fine committees whose work had made the gathering a success. He paid special tribute to Lu Green, general chairman.
