SCRTA Aids In Gonviction Of Boorleg Lumber Dealer

Announcement has been made from the offices of Southern California Retail Lumber Association that field representative Erik Flamer was instrumental in securing the first conviction of a trucker bootlegging lumber.

William C. McCarty, alias George E. Frederick, was convicted in Superior Court, San Bernardino County, and sentenced to six months in jail for selling below grade, bootlegstamped and unstamped lumber to an owner-builder.

Alert City and County Building fnspectors in San Bernardino stopped the use of such lumber in the building, and the purchasers filed suit for fraud. Association representative Erik Flamer was called in by Don McClelland, Inspector, on the staff of Ralph Spencer, Chief Building Inspector, City of Bernardino, to work with Detective Willis, on the Bunco Squad of Sherifi's office, County of San Bernardino.

The SCRLA office advises that as far as is known, this is the first conviction of its kind, and may well set a pattern for the future since statewide legislation is being considered making it "a felony to sell or keep for sale" . ._.

New Drying Method Possible?

University of California chemists believe that a new method of drying California redwood called solvent seasoning is economically feasible.

They reported that the process dries redwood sinker stock to 10 per cent moisture content in only eight days compared to the months required to season it by present methods.

Solvent seasoning also removes considerable quantities of the chemical extractives that occasionally cause brown or black staining of redwood during air and kiln drying'

In addition, the process extracts some valuable chemical by-products including tannin that are otherwise unobtainable from redwood.

These findings were made in tests of solvent seasoning of redwood conducted at the U.C. Forest Products Laboratory in Richmond.

The experiments rvere carried out by Dr. Arthur B. Anderson, FPL biochemist; Watson B' Fearing, former chemical engineer at the Laboratory; and Dr. Charles R. Wilke, chairman of the lJniversity's Department of Chemical Engineering.

They explained that in the new process green boards are stacked vertically or horizontally in a vapor-tight extraction chamber.

A hot solvent-acetone heated to 130 degrees Fahrenheit -is circulated in the chamber by means of a centrifugal pump and sprayed through nozzles at the top of the extractor over the lumber at atmospheric pressure.

As the acetone passes over the boards, it removes water and chemical extractives from them.

The acetone is recovered from the chamber by a continuous distillation process, leaving water and extractive chemicals.

After purification, the acetone is recirculated to the extraction chamber and dripped over the lumber again.

When sufficient water has been removed from the boards, the acetone remaining in the lumber is recovered by circulating air heated to 212 degrees Fahrenheit in the chamber with a heater and blower and condensing the vapofs.

Irinally, the boards are given a short steam treatment.

Abouf 80 pounds of extractive chemicals are removed per 1,000 board feet of redwood with the process' '

The chemists announced that they have drawn plans for a commercial solvent seasoning chamber 284 f eet in length, 16 feet in height, and eight feet in width.

Green lumb"er would be cont'eyed through the unit continuously at the rate of one foot per hour, they said. -.

The icientists estimated that the chamber would be capable of drying 16,000 board feet of 4-by-4 heavy redwood sinker stock per 24 hours.

They are conduciing their study of solveqt -seasoning of redwoocl with the aid-of grants irom the California Redwood Association.
