Some folks would have the trade believe that "Fir is Fir" and that's all there is to it. But wise men know that

Soft Old Growth Yellow Fir

is the superior of all other Firs in every characteristic that appeals to the dealer and the user-softer, finer quality, more adaptable, and more easily applied to every use.

How Lumber Looks

"WatchfuI-Waitingt' might be the word, in connection with today's market thoughts.

There have been no decided changer in the part two weeke, with the exception of the thinning out of the rtockr on the docks, and the tieing up of more boats, at Oakland. This will help, of courre.

Carl Crow's last issue of the "Indext' raid: "Peerimistr and lmockerr of the California lumber trade belong in the twampE of Floridatt.

No one will deny that preeent conditions call for a lot of seriour thought and we believe that it ir now being grven, from the very woods where t^[re trees stand, down to the retail gentlemen who are putting thic lumber on the jobs.

Shipments into Southern California, for August, will run light, from precent indicatione. To tte night of the 13th,

PHILIPPINE MAHOGANY ASSOCIATION TO TAKE CASE TO COURT

In the matter of the recent decision by the Federal Trade Commission, at Washington, on the use of the trade name "Philippine Mahogany", officials of the Philippine Mahoga.ny Association have announced their intention of takjng the case before the Federal Court of AppealS, of Ner'v York, for a final decision.

Late in July the Federal Trade Commission, sitting in Washington, after a series of hearings in many parts of the country, handed dorvn a "Cease and Desist Order", ordering these manufacturers of Philippine woods to cease the use of the name "Philippine Mahogany".

. These hearings were held at the instigation of the Mahogany Associatio,n, and the complaints were directed at but three manufacturers. Other complaints have been filed since, and it is expected that hearings will be held in each case.

After the series of hearings, the Commission handed down ttrreir clecision. which is, of course, not final, and does not obligate the manufacturers to stop using the name, until the order has been sustained by the Court of Appeals.

Officers of the Philippine Mahogany Association are particularly anxiotrs, according to a Los Angeles member, to assure the buyers of their woods that they are running no risks in continuing the use of "Philippine Mahogany". The impression has been gathered by some furniture manufac' turers and other nsers of the woods that it is necessary for them to stop its use, at least until the final settlement of the case.

there war but fifty million feet reported and tlre rlate for the next few days showed a low number of vedrelc to dock. The total for the mont'h will be below July. -

It h_ag been predicted that at least two years rvill be consumed by the case,. before the Court of Appeals.

Volumes of testimony were offered at-the final hearing in Washington, resulting in the adverse decision to thi Philippine Mahogany manufacturers.

One dissenting vote was cast, by Judge Humphreys, say- ing, in part: "No public interest appeari in the iu.". Th.r" is no substantial evidence in the record that any ultimate ruser of Philippine Mahogany has either been d-eceived or has been defrauded".

The Value of an Idea

Every human achievement is the result of some idea-some thought-some dream. And yet no idea has ever been conceived but that a better one has come to take its place.

The progress of the world-the advance of civilization, is the hist6ry of successions of ideas.

Each of the great inventions of the past century-a century of miracles-is the result, not of one man's genius, but was brought about through the efforts and energies of those who followed up an idea with a new and better one.

Sir Charles Wheatstone patented the first telegraph instrument, a crude affair, with however, the underlying principles of operation. But Samuel Morse conceived the idea of transmitting messages over wire by means of an electric current, and he made its first commercial application.

This was followed by the laying of the Atlantic cable, which -was simply the result of another idea, a step aiong in ihe progress of science and invention.

The establishment and final perfection of the telephone was not the work of one man's brain. Each step was brought about by the conception of a new and better idea supplanting and superseding the previous one.

The thought of producing sound by an electric current was created in the mind of Alexander GrIham Bell. His- first idei was the invention of a musical telegraph. For years he studied and worked along this line. And then the idea of conve.ying_sounds, -words, was born in his imaginatlon. It resulted in the first telepho_n-e d._19". But- perfection came only with a sucEession of new ideas conceived by himself and his associates.

Transmitting messages through ether was an idea which brought -the-wireles!, Perfected by Marcoii. It das founded upon theories which the brains of others had conceived.

The idea which created the gas balloon was superseded by the tho lght which resulted in the dirigible, followed by thJinvention of the airplane._ The first principle was worked out more tlan a century agb Uy Cayley, an Englishman. It was improved upgn- by Langley. It was made praciiciUte -by tfre W"igtt Erothers in 1903 and since then it has steadily been improved upon by the creation of new ideas.

As early as 1700, experiments in the development of steam propelled conveyances were made. Thi steam engiire was the idea of James Watt, conceived at the clos6 of the eighteenth century bul founded and fashionld on the ideas of the past. And so down the line.

Every idea has its value-but there.always is a better one.

The idea of devising and building BETTER HOMES for humanity has permeated the mentality of the race siice time began; and is at its best today. Better hornes for man and his family; b'etter housing for his possessions ; more safe, comfortable, sanita:y, attractive, and generally satisfactoiy places of SHELTER, is the BIG IDEA that the lumber merchant of today is working on.

The result is evidenced in every city, town and hamlet of the land. The old time dreary house is fast becoming replaced by the modern, cheery HOME.

Perfection has not yet been reached. There is still plenty of opportunity for the individual dealer to invest and use his ingenuity to better the housing conditions of HIS town.

And it is this general effort that is helping to lift the retail lumber industry out of the rut of simply being a warehouse industry fbr raw material, and investing it with a MENTAL attraction that is demanding the respect of business men everywhere.

Northwestern Observations

By Jack Dionne

Portland, Oregon.-I used to come out here years ago and tell these lumber folks-"Some of these fine days you will be selling lumber in the Southwest, just as Red Cedar Shingles went in there years ago." It was all futures then.

Today everyone up here is talking about the Southwest and Middle Western business. And they are all wonderfully pleased with the contact with my "home folks" as far as they have gone.

I hear scores of interesting stories of the experiences they are having.

Two weeks ago there was a big bunch of retailers from Oklahoma and Kansas out here looking over the Fir mills. Today there is another bunch of retailers from Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas doing the same thing.

At the same time there' is a fair exchange being made. Most of the mills of this territory who sell the inland trade have men in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas right now, either looking the thing over, or actively selling stock.

One of the biggest concerns out here has had scouts in the Southwest for the past three months. The head of the concern told me this past week that they will operl an office in the next few weeks either in Oklahoma City or Fort lVorth, and travel several men out of it.

One mill man here told me a good one. He quoted an Oklahoma man on some big oil rig timbers. They agreed on a price, and the mill shipped the timbers. He wanted to be sure to give thorough satisfaction the first order, so he shipped selebt common instead of No. 1 common. Select Common is one grade higher and clearer than No. 1 Common. He billed it as select common, at the price agreed upon. The purchaser sent check for the shipment, deducting $3 per thousand. He said he npticed that the billing showed select common, and that he wanted No. 1 common and nothing less in grades, so he deducted what he thought would cover one degree degrade.

I saw an order here in the office of a former Louisiana mill man, who now operates out here. He sent a scout through Texas. The man went to Beaumont and wanted to sell some Fir. The prospect said he didn't know what Fir looked like, and couldn't buy until he had a bette'r idea. The salesman inquired and found that some Fir timbers had beeq placed in the Beaumont docks several years ago. He went down there, found a le'ft over end, got a saw and sawed a slice out, carried it uptown with him and showed it, and sent in an order for some like it.

I have been meeting and talking to former mill men from the Southwest and South, mill workers as well as executives, sawmill men, planing mill men, dry kiln men, etc^, now.working in these Northwestern mills. You should hear them talk Northwebtern lumber. And I have heard numerous men who, a few years ago, were dominant figures irl the Southern Pine conventions, and have heard them grow eloquent as Demosthenes in their discussions of their Western products. And most of these men still have large fortunes in the South.

THAT, to me, is the greatest change that has come over the face of the lumber industry. It is the men who, a few

years ago were leading the fight for advertising and exploiting Southerq Pine, who are today leading the progressive forces who are trying to bring about cooperative and better merchandising of Fir. The very satne men.

And there is a great change in the mental situation up here. There are far more lumbermen. than ever before who subscribe to the thought that if lumber is to prosper, it must be because of the united efforts of the lumbermen to MAKE it prosper. They have beerl thinking out there for fifty years that gome time or other Providence would bring prosperity to the industry. Now they are making up their minds that trees are God-made, but that tree prosperity must be man-made. And this development of thought is changing the face of the industry up here.

The biggest arguments that are taking place out here right now, concern the questioq of kiln drying, air drying' or shipping Fir lumbe green. Up to recently practically all common Fir was shipped green. Of course, that does not mean that boards and dimension were shipped green from the saws. Timbers were, but it takes time to accumulate boards and dimension" and most of the lumber that has been shipped to the,interior had been piled for more or less time. Then it takes still more time before it gets to the consumer, and by that time it has some seasoning. The green lumber shippers-and they include some of the best thinking manufacturers out here, some of them former Southerrlers<laim that that is all the seasoning that Fir lumber needs. That Fir lumber contains no sap' that it will not warp, crook, or discolor, and that it does not need to be thoroughly dried.

These men point to the fact that the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, the Dakotas, etc., have built with only green lumber for fifty years, and have found it entirely satisfactory; that the city of Portland, "one of the best built cities in the country," has been built of lumber right from the local saws, and that it has been found a most satisfactory material; that California builds with green lumber and prefers green lumber; etc.' etc.

Then there are a bunch of mills up here who have always given their lumber for injerior shipment a certain amount of air drying on the yard, and who ship and sel! air dried lumber.

The new note is that of the later comers out here, most of them from the South. They propose to deliver dry lumber, and their original idea is that it is foolish to pay 75 cents per hundred pounds to ship water across the country. Much experimenting is being done in kiln drying, and it is safe to say that gteater advances have been made in kiln drying Fir in the last year, than in all the past history of the lumber industry out here. John D. Tennant, of Longview, who is Vice President in charge of production for all Long-Bell mills, says that today they are demonstrating at Longview that there is less degrade of stock in their kilns than there is on the yard where they are air dryi4g, and that he believes Fir can be kiln dried at least as successfully as Yellow Pine, and probably better.

On the other hand there are lots of people out here who do NOT kiln dry their stock, who simply declare their belief, either that it is not necessary, or that it is not practical. llowever, those who are doing it, are enthusiastic about it, which is the proof cif ttre pudding. Chas. S. Keith, cutting 600,000 a day at Vernonia, Oregon, dries his dimension as well as his inch lumber. So does Long-Bell. Both declare it a complete success. There are several other mills here drying a lesser portion of their product.

However, it IS a fact, that I gather from the dry kiln men of this territory, that more dry kilns have'been built out here in the last year thaq ever before, and that more kilns are now under contract than ever before. So it seems that the kiln drying idea is spreading.

My personal opinion is that with every season that passes there will be a huge increase in the kiln drying of lumber in the Northwest.

It is a wonderful thing to go through the Finish lumber sheds out here, where the mills specidize-as many of them do,-in finish. I have gone through several Finish sheds of late with Southern retailers and wholesalers, and the sight of that Fiqish lumber is dways the most attractive thing at every plant to these visitors. They make such a tremendous amount of Finish, and you see such a volume of beautifully grained, beautifully colored, smooth as glass lumber of all widths, that it makes you gasp. Perfectly clear boards of lovely grain up to 32 inches in width are very attractive things to look at when you see them in large quantities. These Fiqish mills take gteat pride in this product, and every piece is made a work of art. Some of them will sell you straight cars of Finish, any width you $rant, any length desired, either vertical grain or flat grain, just as you choose. Or they will mix them, or assort them to suit yotr- Some of them tie their Finish in bundles for shipping. Others do not. All of them prepare the inside of the car that carries finish, so that the lumber will not be hurt in transportation. Some of the mills line their cars with strips, and paper the doors to make them dust-proof. Some mills paper the entire inside of the car in which they ship Finish.

It really is interesting to see the difrerence between the way some of these mills treat their clear and their common lumber. I was in a mill the other day that runs their dimension right out on the docks and loads it on boats, and

tells it goodby. But their clear lumber is handled slowly, carefully, almost lovingly, until each piece comes out in the Finish shed a work of art.

All mills out here have re-saws. They are saving the lumber inside their slabs. Some mills have several re-saws. The average big mill out here of orthodox type is really just a "breaking down" mill as far as the sawmill is concerned. They have a huge "head-rig," which means the heavy-type saw and carriage, and the big logs are not sawed up. They are just sliced up in the manner for which they are best fitted. And the big fitches, and cants go on to the resaurs, or to the gangs, and are cut up. A head-rig cuts 25,000 to 30,000 feet an hour in mills of that sort.

Just a closing thought for this story. THERE IS IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER WATERSHED ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED BILLION FEET OF VIRGIN TIMBER THAT WILL ALL BE CUT BY THE MILLS ALONG THIS RIVER. CAN YOU GRASP THAT FIGURE? Seventy-five years ago when the first sawmill started in East Texas, there was about seventy-five billion feet of timber in the State. There is more than five times that much timber on the Columbia River, in Washington and Oregon, right now.

FORESTRY AND INDUSTRIAL AUTHORITIES TO HAVE PLACE ON HOO-HOO ANNUAL PROGRAM

The business program for the Thirty-fifth Hoo-Hoo Annual as tentatively prepared, indicates that the meeting, rvhich will be held in Kansas City, September 28, D and 3O, will be not only the most constructive in the history of Ifoo-Iloo, but one of the most beneficial meetings in the interests of lumber ever held.

Some, of the foremost authorities of the United States and Canada on conservation and reforestation, and on subjects of direct, vital concern to the entire Industry, will be on the program. Announcement of the tentative program rdill be made shortly.

Meantime, General Chairman M. M. Riner and his Kansas City Committees are busily arranging for the welcome and entertainment of what promises to be the largest registration of Hoo-Hoo and their ladies in.the history of HooHoo annuals. Details of the entertainment features also will be ann6unced shortly.

Knock-Down Standardized Window and Door Frames a Great Retail Money Maker

BY Jack Dionne

I have come to the conclusion after .ri.Juirrg this subject. of knock-down, standardized window an{ door frames very closely for a long time, that here is a srlbject that justifies the best thought and attention of the retail lumber trade, particularly in the Southwest and Middile Western terfitories.

It seems to me that here the retail lumberman, is overlooking one of the best sellers that he can possibly incorporate into his business, and that here the consumer may secure a service far superior to any that he has known in the past-better products and better prices.

I have often heard it said that the easiest thing to get a bunch of retail lumbermen, to agree to do, is to do nothing. They teU me that the sale of knock-down, standardized window and door frames to and through the lumber dealer has been progressing more slowly than the quality of the proposition would seem to justify, and it is because of that report that it seems wise and proper to discuss the subject in these volumns.

To begirr with, the methods employed in Texas-for instance-for supplying door and window frames, is crude indeed. In the average small town or small city of Texas, you will find that the door and window frames for home construction are being made almost entirely by the carpen-

ter on, the job. And the material he uses for so doing is full length finish lumber. There is no slower job in home building than the making of the window frames by hand on the job.

And this is not confined to the small places entirely. Many times I hdve stopped to watch men work on a home in Houston, and seen the carpenter on the job sawing up his finish to make the frames.

Ordinarily in the larger cities, the frames are bought from the local planing mill or millwork house, or they are made in the big retail yards. They are NOT carried in stobk, to any great degree. Frames are too bulky to carry in stock like doors and windows. The dealer carries the doors and windows in stock, and when he sells the doors and windows he should naturally sell the frames. There is at least as good a profit in the frames as in the sash and doors. Knock-down, standardized frames, made by a first class congern, are better in workmanship, tightness, and general usefulness, than the frame built by a carpenter' No carpenter can possibly make them as good as unform, machine-made frames.

In addition, the knock-down frames all contain a "pocket," through which the cord or sash weight can be changed

at any timp, wit$gut ePJ 'trouble, whereas' with: an old fashioned frame'you''Uatle to'perform a'rmaior carpentering operation to make a change that is often necessary.

The carpenter can buy a Lrrock-down frame, of clear, beautiful lumber, perfectly worked, ready for the pulleys and nails, for less money than he can buy the lumber from which to cut them. The carpenter uses his dollar-an-hour time cutting up clelr lumber to make frames, when the knock-down frame can be put tightly together by anyone with a hammer and nails, in the fewest minutes. Every part fits perfectly.

The dealer can make at least as much profit on selling the frame as he can selling the lumber from which to make the frame, and he saves the builder that dollar-an-hour charge, and gives him a better product for his home.

Some dealers have a man making frames in their own yards. They can undodbtedly give their trade a better proairct by selling high grade knock-down frames instead, and makg as much or more profit for themselves.

The knockdown frames are made from "shop lumber." The knots and defects are sawn out entirely. The only defects in a knock-down frame of quality, are where there is no exposure. Every exposed part is clear lumber' every edge and end perfect. The frame planSs can make twenty complete frames while the carpenter is boring the pulley holes for a single frame.

The store room necessary for the average retailer to carry a stock of frames, is very modest. The frame parts .are tightly bundled together, and held in place by machine-

applied metal bands. They don't come apart. With a small stock of knock-down frames the dealer can furnish an assortment of window or door sizes. He is not confined to a single siza He can make difrerent length and width com' binations for difierent size openings. Any frame factory can show the dealer how to carry a comparatively small amount of frame stock, and yet be able to supply a large assortment of sizes.

The frame proposition is one that every lumber dealer, greater or small, should thoughtfully investigate. As a merchant seeking for his customers the best of service along building lines he should get away from the old fashioned method of making frames by hand. It is economically wrong, costs the customer more money, makes no mqre for the dealer, and assists in the use of an inferior product' Clear, straight-grained, perfectly fitting, perfectly manufactured frames can be had in every building, through the lumber dealer, to the great advantage of the builder.

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT would welcome a discussion of the subject by its readers.

THREE EVERETT PLANTS BURN

Among recent sawmill fires in the Northwest the most serious loss was sustained by the Walton Lumber Co.. at Everett, Wash., rvhen their main plant and 7,000,000 feet of Itrmber were destroyed JulY 26.

YEARS OF SERVICE

Working for Quality in Fir: The West Oregon Lumber Company

Portland, Ore., Aug. 8.While this isn't a hardwood, but rather a softrvood (soft, old-growth Yellow l'ir softwood, in fact) story, the gist of it splendidly illustrates the good old axior! that-"Great oaks from little acorns grow."

There are lots of lumbermen around Portland. Oregon, who remember well the time-it was in 1902-When E. D. ("Ed") Kingsley, started the West C)regon Lumber Company, To say that it was a modest start, is stating it very mildly indeed.

The town of Linnton, Oregon, where the West Oregon Lumber Company lives and moves and has its being, is located on the log-laden yet thoroughlv lovely Willamette River, ten miles from Portland.

At this time there was a little sawmill located in the mountains four miles from the river. It turned out ten thousand feet of lurnber in a ten hour work day, if nothing happened. The orvner of this manufacturing institution also owned a tract of timber land adjacent to the mill, on which he claimed he had ten million feet of timber. He also had seven hundred acres of land from rvhich he had' cut the timber.

Mr. Kingsley made a deal with the owner of this domain, whereby for the sum total of five thousand dolldrs he became the owner of mill, timber, and cut-over land. That is, he paid dorvn fifteen hundred dollars, and gave his note for the remaining thirty-five hundred, payable at the rate of a hundred and fifty dollars a month. That old note, with the payments noted on the back thereof, is today one of Mr. Kingsley's proud possessions.

He cut the timber close, and when he got through he cut the cut-over land again. He wasn't lvasting anything in those days. And he got twenty-nine million feet of timber off property before he quit.

The first thing he had to do was find some u'ay to get the lumber to the river, and he built a flume-on credit-four miles long, over canyons and mountains, and put his lumber through it successfully.

And so well did he nurse and nurture and operate this modest establishment, that when it was through he built a real sau'mill on the river at Linnton, and. has been operating there ever since. In 1911 his mill was destroyed by fire, and he built a bigger one. ln 1925 all of his mill but the sawmill proper, was wiped out, and he built a better and more modern one. The larv of Kingsley is the law of progress.

But there was one particular thing that Ed. Kingsley started trying trventy-four years ago, and has never stopped trying for a single day since that time, and that is to cut quality lumber out of Yellorv Fir logs, and particularly to make superior Finish. And so well did he succeed that he began years ago calling his product of this character "Super Finish." And today the Pacific Northwest agrees that West Oregon Super Finish is a product of splendid and dependable quality; a product so fine as to be entitled to special mention wherever !'ir Finish is known and used.

Because every man knou's that making a specialty of Fir

Finish and doing it successfully, is the hardest thing in the Fir manufacturing game, because it requires such infinite care and efiort and must be predicated on ripe experience, sound doctrines, and splendid timber.

The name and fame of this one product, has done much to spread the name and fame of the West Oregon Lumb-er Company. It was a rvise merchandising thought on- the part of Mr. Kingsley, because everyone admit-s the hi-gh quality and charactei of his Super Finish, which naturally carries with it the idea that the rest of their product, must be likewise. And Mr. Kingsley admits that it is.

Now, the present plant of the West Oregon Lumber Company is probably a little out of the ordinary. It is -a U;gmitt, but not an -extra large one. It is just big_enough to permit Mr. Kingsley and his organization to make lumber in the way theyl,vant to.

The sawmill proper is the only part of the plant whe-re high spedd is aimed at. There is but one head-rig. Y"! this mill cuts 30,000 feet of lumber every eight hours of operation. There are three re-saws, and trvo big gangs in the sawmill. They get everything out of the log bu! the scream of the sawi. -They have nb refuse, and burn nothing. They sell their sawdust and their refuse that the mill leaves.

From the time the lumber leaves the head-rig and the gangs, it goes more slowly. It is being looked over careiullf to s& what they can get out of it in quality. Th.y handle and work their short stock as well as their long. They do a fine cargo business with California and have 1,000 feet of deep water docks at which to load their vessels.

Mr. Kingsleyts pride and joy is his new planer. It-is a well known fatt that the method of handling lumber from the planer machines out, in most of the modern mills of the northwest, was first used and pioneered by the West Oregon Lumber Company. You step on no one's toes whe-n you say that the new planer of the West Oregon Lumbir Company is one of the most attractive and remarkable in the world. It is hardly fair to call tha\ open, highly lighted and ventilated, and unusually arranged instittttion.a pi-aning mill. It is really a studio for finishing high grade lumber.

All of their product, all of their items, and all of their grades, are given particular attention to the end that the iustomer may ha'ttC a superior product. But in their Super Finish they fairly surpass themselves' From the .log to the car, thair Finish is a specialty. They select the.ir logs, and they go through theii entire operation of cutting, selecting, -dfoing, dr6ssing, grading, loading,- etc., with- the c"re o=f a ipeclalist. Tfiey carry large stocks of finish all the time. You can get it as wide and as long as you want it. Thirty-two inches in width is common with them, rich looking, pirfectly dried, and dressed' They.make both flat and sla'sh grain frnish. They rvill sell you either or both. You can biy it by the carlot. They will guarantee you 8O/o slash grain, if you rvant it that way.

They are very proud to be a service concern' Around their plant and iheir sales office they give you this-impression more than any other. They want ,vou to understand that they are in business to serve thdir customers- ^ They like mixed car orders. They carry nearly everything on earth that a Fir tree will make, in stock; and if they haven't got it, they will make it for you. No trouble at all, glad to please a customer.

Somehow at the West Oregon mill you sort of get away from the rush that accompanies mass production usually.

They want you to understand that they pick out the finest of soft, and mellorv logs, and that they take their time cutting delightful lumber things out of these logs.

Mr. Kingsley is an irnpressive fellow. He's a good lumberman, every way you can measure one. He is a natural cooperator, and a born progressive. He has just finished a most successful year as President of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and he made a splendid officer, giving his time and brains freely to the cause. He is for every good thing that comes up in the industry. And he is so inordinately proud of his Super Finish he almost gets you to eating it with sugar and criam, when you visit his plant with him.

He has with him as his Sales Manager a younger man who has thoroughly absorbed the spirit of the West Oregon organization, Mr. Charles E. Miller. He is a splendid Lieutenant to a most worthy Captain. If you didn't know he was a Northwesterner, you'd suspect that he "mout be from the South." If he can't over-sell you on Super Finish your sales resistance must be strong, indeed. I{e is Vice President oJ the firm, and a man worth while.

Likewise Mr. Kingsley has his son, Archie Kingsley, growing up in the business. He is Secretary of the company, and is just fitting into several very valuable niches in the organization. The young man is the proverbial "chip of the old block," and is showing Super Finish qualities.

His firm, his son, his organization., his Super Finish, and the reputation of sterling dependability and integrity that clings to his concern in the minds of all men, are the chief stars in the business crown of Mr. Ed. Kingsley. And they are well worth while.

PULP PLANT FOR LONGVIEW

Longview, Wash., Aug. 4.-Final arrangements have been concluded whereby one of the largest wood pulp and fibre manufacturing plants in the United States is to be located here.

The new plant will represent an investment of two and a half million dollars and will produce 100 tons of pulp and 100 tons of pulp products every twenty-four hours.

The company, which is to be known as The Longview Fibre Company, will employ between 300 and 400 men and possibly some female labor. It is said by officials that the average payroll will amount to $2,000 per day with parts of the plant running twenty-four hours per day and 300 days per year.

'IPACKED IN WOOD; BUY 'EM"

On their own initiative employes of the Willapa I,umber Co. at Raymond, Wn., acting through their 4L local, prepared a float for the Fourth of July parade in that town that brought the importance of wooden boxes to the consciouness of thousands of people, including the merchants. The employes did not generalize about the matter. They piled high on a platform of the float wooden boxes iq which groceries and other supplies had been packed. The boxes carried trade marks. A slogan on a banner, "They're packed in wood, buy 'em," told the story. Merchants and customers saw the banner and the trade marks. They know that Raymond's chief industry is lumber. And Raymond and the Willapa Lumber Co. are to be congratulated for having a group of employes who not only have an interest in what is going on in the lumber industry, but who are willing and capable to do something about it. When men and management throughout the industry show as much interest in the welfare of the industry as a whole as did these employes, the industry will be the better for it.

If You Want a Chance to Doubt Your Own Eyes, Go Look atLongview

By Jack Dionne

Yes, folks, I've been to Longview. Longview, in the free state of Washington. Longview "where rolls the Oregon", as William Cullen Bryant so immortally wrote. (For the Columbia, Queen among the world's majestic rivers, is "The Oregon" that the poets used to rave about, for that rvas what it was originally called.)

I am not going to attempt for a moment to give you a description-even of the vaguest-of that amazing lumbering town and institution. Scores of articles have appeared in these columns, concerning Longview. Scores of pictures have been printed to illustrate its facts and features. But the effort is totally unavailing. 'No camera can begin to depict the mightiness of that sawmill plant, and no words can begin to impress the mentality of the reader. You've got to see it.

I am wondering, horvever, if I can't pick out a few high lights that will in some way reflect the rvonderment that. I felt at seeing Longview. No use trying a description. Going over the equipment and the measurements of that plant would simply bewilder the reader.

I was fairly well chaperoned in seeing the mills at l,ongview. I like to go to headquarters for mv information, and when I hoofed it over the Longvierv plant thore was with me Messrs. R. A. Long, M. B. Nelson, John D. Tennant, J. H. Foresman and Roy Morse, as well as other dignitaries. Just the Chairman of the Board, the President, two of the Vice Presidents and the General Manager. I'11 say I rvas escorted.

Can you imagine a sawmill plant so great in size and so wondrous in construction that they entertain an average of two hundred tourist visitors and sightseers every working day; pay and keep three uniformed guides who take you through the plant and explain and show it all to the visitor, without cost, and without a tip; that is so laid out throughout every portion of the sa'il'mills, planers, sheds, etc,, that the runways for tourists are inarked with signs and arrows just life a California highway-"Visitors follow the arrow"? Can you imagine it? And it takes several hours for even a casual survey of the mill plant itself.

Can you visualize a sawmill plant three miles and across a great river from the Pacific Highway, 'with gauge of management so broad and far-sighted that they built a detour from the highway, through Longview, and back to the Highway ? The bridge over the river cost $450,000. The broad concrete road cost more than $100.000 more. This, so that the tourists who throng that Highway, coming from every part of the United States, may detour and see the Long-Bell town and plant at Longview.

Can you appreciate a lumber firm r,vith that much faith in their ADVERTISING?

That's what you will find at Longview. And the Highway is well marked so that the tourist will know all about it, and the road and bridge are so fine and the sights at Longview so unusual, that an average of trvo hundred men, women and children a day'go through the plant. Additional hundreds look the town over, see this rose blooming in the midst of the Washington forest primeval, and drive on.

Three years ago the place lvhere Longview stands was a cut-over land flat on the bank of the mighty Columbia. They laid out a city of 50,000 in the beginning, so far as streets, improvements, districts, etc., are concerned. Wiil they get that number? No man who thinks and knows, can doubt it. Beautiful public buildings, library, Y.M.C.A., hospitals, hotel, beautiful streets rvith running rvater and es-

planades and flowers. No happenstance, this Longview. It was all arranged scientifically in advance. You leave the forest road and in a few minutes are in a beautiful city so well arranged and improved that it looks more like a restricted park than the business and residence department of a sawmill.

There are 11,000 people in Longview now. They have just arranged for a huge paper mill to be built right near the sawmills. Another great payroll. More homes, more contented people. The ground is laid out for other manufacturing and re-manufacturing plants to come. There will be a big veneer plant, a big door and window plant, and other natural sidelines to a great milling institution. They will come as fast as they can be reached in the great operation of development. When these things alone are completed, there will be more than 20,000 people in Longview. With room and opportunity and welcome for independent industries of many kinds. Weyerhaeuser is to build a huge milling plant at the mouth of the Cowlitz River, at Longview. More thousands of men, and their families. Everything is new, everything attractive, everything architecturally interesting, everything well painted. Pavements, modern improvements, attractiveness everywhere. That's Longview.

And the mill ! There is only one way to describe it, and that is to quote the time-honored story of the countryman rvho saw the elephant for the first time, and rubbing his eyes, and shaking his head, turned away saying-"Hell ! There ain't no sech animal". And yet, it's there. I know because I saw it.

A few illustrative facts. Can you imagine a sawmill with shed room for ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION FEET OF DRY LUMBER? And all the room being practically utilized?

Can you picture in your mind's eye two separate sawmills, standing side by side that cut almost TWO MILLION FEET OF LUMBER EVERY DAY.

Or a planer that has six planing machines and turns out over 700,000 feet of lumber in eight hours ? Well, they've got two separate planers, each doing that.

Can you picture a sawmill cutting nearly a million feet of lumber a day, without even a storage yard? That is the way the new East Unit is built and equipped. Everything except water shipped stock goes under cover.

There are two mill units. One was built first, the West Upit, a huge rivestern sawmill, backed by a super-modernized drying, dressing, handling and re-manufacturing plant. The sawmill has two head-rigs, big band saws, one double cutting, one singfe cutting. These saws just "break down" the big logs. The gang, and the battery of resaws and edgers do the rest. And every day they operate that mill they turn out between a million and eleven hundred thousand feet of lumber.

The new East Unit is an oversized Southern Pine mill. It contains four band mills. It is used for cutting the smaller size of logs. The big timber goes to the \A/est Unit. The new lJnit cuts about three-quarters of a million feet a day.

Thirty-five per cent of the entire production of this plant is timbers. The water shipping dock is tremendous in size, all concrete, laden with tremendous quantities of timbers of every size, length and kind. Five big ocean vessels load there at the same time. Every modern facility for handling the timbers is there.

BIG VALUES IN PA,NELS

The uses of plywood are manifold. This adaptable material is being applied to new requirements daily. For packages, boxes, signs, shelves, toys, clothes hangers, kitchen cabinets, car bodies, portable furniture, table tops, counters, theatrical cut-outE and scenery, for picture backs, serving trays, drawing boards, bread boards and screens as well as for door panels, wainscot and ceiling paneling and temporary partitions,-

PAUL BUNYAN'S CALIFORNIA PINE PLYWOOD

is favored becaus€ it is light in weight but strong; it does not end split or check; enamels perfectly with fewer coats and takes paint and stains economically and well.

SPECIAL VALUE IN LOTWER GRADES-in '?rawer bottom" and "trunk stock" PAUL BUNYAN'S plywood shows a striking superiority, grade for grade. This is due to the nature of the knots and other defects,-in California Pine they limit the grade rather than impair usefulness.

(Continued from Page 20)

John D. Tennant, Vice President in charge of manttfacture for all the Long-Bell mills, says that it vi'on't be long before they won't sell or ship any low grade lumber. The low grades will go to the great re-manufacturing plants (there is one with each unit) and the defects rvill be sawn out, and the clear lumber left will be nsed for scores of manufacturing purposes, such as door, sash, frame and specialty stock. These departments are already wonderful in their operations, and they are only starting. They won't ship shakes and loose ktrots. Cut them out. IJse the good lumber only. Don't clog the market with cheap and little valuable stock.

If a man never saw any other part of Longview but the

electric power plant, he would have wonderment enough to last him for weeks. No use describing it. A huge brick building filled with a wondrous assortment of terrific equipment that means electric power. The separate plant for compressed air service alone would make most mill power plants look small. You look this power plant over with a keen sense of awe. It's really too much.

But, you see, everything in that great institution is driven with electricity. There are thousands upon thousands of motors in Longview. And up in the woods, thirty miles away at Ryderwood, their logging is entirely electrified, being the only one on earth, so they tell me.

..EUREKA''

Thc Call of the Open Road Sayr

They have sixty-eight dry kilns at Longvierv, and such dry kilns ! You go down under them, through a great concrete power room, and you see the great motors that fan the air through the kilns. Get this thought. In the South at the Long-Bell mills they use 32,000 feet of piping in each kiln room. In Longview they use only 1,100 feet of pipe in each kiln. It's a new scheme entirely. And down under those kilns there is more intricate machinery for handling the kilns, and gegistering and reporting, etc. They just fan the lumber with hot air until it dries uniformly and evenly. Only the same thickness, length, rvidth and grades goes into the same kiln. No mixing. So it dries exactly alike.

A Vacation Suggestion:

Drive up to'&retrra over the wonderful Redwood Highway. A trip into the Redwood Courtry is worth repeating many times.

We extend a cordial invitation to all lumberrnen and their friends to vicit our mill and togging operations.

Drop us a line and we will know when to'ex. pect you.

HOTMES-EUREKA

They have 68 of these kilns at Longview. John Tennant says'that they have less degrade from their kilns than they do from their one air yard.

Every part of the plant at Longvierv. the sawmills, planers, sheds, etc., are light and airy enough for a school room. Everything is loaded under iover. Winter rains won't make any difference. All lumber dry and shipped dry.

You should see them shipping finish lumber. You'd think from the way they strip and line and fix and paper the inside of the cars that they were shipping butter and eggs, they take such care to protect the product.

This-as I stated in the beginning-aims in no rvay to be a description of Longview, but simply a few high lights to give those who have not seen it some idea of this wonderful thing that Mr. Long and his organization have done at that place.

If ever a man has written FAITH-faith in an industry, faith in a territory, faith in a wood-that wonderful man has written the word in letters of undying size upon the banks of t(re Columbia at Longview.

And so wise, so economical, so practical, so intelligent, so almost uncanny is the ingenuity that shorvs itself in every operation, in every department, in every labor-saving and lumber-improving device at Longview, that once the great investment has been made and the process of installation marked "Finis", it needs not the eye of a sage to

The genius and the faith of R. A. I.ong is the big investme4t in Longview. And in my judgment it will eclipse in its fulfillment his own fondest hopes, even as his Southern Pine undertaking many years ago turned out bigger and better than even he himself had dreamed.

Fir Manufacturers Pledge Themselves To Support National Trade Extension Work

Pledges estimated to yield a sum of $225,000 a year for five years were given by Northwest lumbermen for the support of the national trade extension program of the Nationll Lumber Manufacturers' Association in its proposed $1,000,000 a year, five-year campaign of advertising and research work, at the joint meeting of the national association and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, held at Tacoma, August 5.

George S. Long, general manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., and R. A. Long, founder of the I ong-Bell Lumber Co., promised on behalf of their companies to contribute the 10 cents per 1000 board feet asked, and in addition George S. Long promised an additional contribution of $50,000 a year by the Weyerhaeuser Co. Pledges of these "two companies will amount to nearly $100,000 each yearly.

Perhaps you'll believe this statement when we make it in cold type. Our salesmen have said it to you-but it didn't "register". So here it is -for all the world to see-

There's a big difference in wall board--and Buttress is the difference. It's strongerl lt's rnore flexible-see picture above and ask for'demonstration. It deadens sound more effectively. It defies fire !

-and yet it costs no moret \fsvv-isn't that as sweet'a line'up of selling points as you can ask?

Are you going to sell "any old wall l6a1d"-e1 are you going to tell your customers that you are giving them the best wallboard you can buy, at the same price they pay for inferior products?

Shall we deliver to you-say, 10,000 feet? When? Buttress Mfg. Co.. 6910 So. Alameda St., Los Angeles. Phone DElaware 4935.

Speaking of Additiond Profits

The Capital City Lumber Company, St. Paul, turned their Balsam.Wool stock 8 timee in 12 monthe. Their groee profit for thie period on an average stock invest. ment of $68O.00 was 3OO%. Additional prodts-Baleam.Wool does notcomDetewithother etandarditemo ofyard etock.

TN EVERY town you will find at least one I live wire lumber dealer who takes hold of the good new developments and makes money out of them.

Take the case of a middle west lumber dealer who called his yard insulation headquarters. He sold 495,000 feet of Balsam-'Wool the second year he handled it.

' In the same city there is a dealer who doesn't handle any make of insulation. He doesn't intend to do so either until the market ttdevelops.t'

In another town a few miles away a dealer sold 315,000 feet of Balsam-'Wool the first year he stocked it This dealer reports that insula. tion salbs constitute one-tenth of his entire sales. This dealer is favorably known a.s a good

business man, a money maker. He has the reputation for developlzg markets.

Still another dealer operating eight yards in this section sold 511,000 feet of Balsam-'Wool in one year.

Lumber dealers in both small towns and large cities are making 6,7 and as high as 10 turnovers in a year on their Balsam-'Wool stock.

Each foot sold nets additional profits. A sale of Balsam-'Wool does not rob you of legitimate profits on your other yard items.

The sales records prove several points conclusively. The insulation market has developed for those dealers who are stepping out after the business. Balsam-'Wool sales and profits mount fast for the dealer who puts a little push behind the line.

Millwork Institute Meets at San Diego

The Tri-Annual Convention of the Millwork Institute of California was held at San Diego, Thursday and Friday, August 5th and 6th. The meetings were held at the San Diego Hotel.

It was most decidedly a highly successful Convention, taken from all angles, and President Harry Gaetjen and Managing-Director H. T. Diedsch have expressed themselves as being gratified.

Eighty-three members and guests were registered, with a large percentage of the number in close attendance at the four sessions.

San Francisco was selected as the next Convention City,

the dates to be fixed later to coincide with the StanfordCalifornia football match. The meeting place will be announced at a later date.

President Gaetjen called the Friday morning meeting to order, introducing Mayor John L. Bacon, of San Diego. He fittingly welcomed the Institute to the southern city and extended the famed Golden Key.

The President's address was as follows:

Gentlemen:-

"In calling this meeting to order today in the City of San Diego, we are gathered together in that historic spot where Cabrillo first landed in 1542 and discovered California; and I wish we could be imbued with that same spirit that those explorers had, and that we might be the organization to build up the Millwork industry with the same result as has been accomplished in our State of California.

"We are assembled to discuss the problems of the Industry and to bring forth results that will benefit all of us. As the various subjects are announced I wish all of the members would take part in the discussion.

"The extent of our success and progress is measured by the efforts put forth by our mernbers in helping to solve our problems, not alone here, but throughout the year in your respective localities. We have the machinery, all we need is your cooperation.

"'We also need more members; there are many Mills that do not belong but should. Letters do not seem to bring these into our institute, which means personal solicitation; therefore everyone is on the Membership Committee, so get busy.

"I am glad to report that during this year many of the Mills have installed Standardized Ledger Accounts and trust that others will follow. after our discussion'at this meeting.

"I want to call to your attention, that the Millwork Cost Bureau of Chicago is about to start a course of Billing and Detailing which should be of interest to us all.

"We are well on our 3rd year of existence and should begin to see.the results. of our work; among ourselves, and in the relations between ourselves and the contractors and the architects. Our bulletin service should commence to show returns.

"In reading various Eastern Trade Journgls, I have noticed that we are mentioned in many cases, showing that we are attracting some attention and that some of our work is being copied.

"In closing, I want to ask the members to attend all our sessions and take part in all the discussions."

Company, Los Angeles, Sign Post at the Cross

Friday afternoon Mr. H. L. Sullivan, \Mestern Lumber Co-p"tiy, San Diego, opened the meeting with a short talk on "Standard Trade Practices."

After indulging in a few self-depreciatory remarks-rerarding his ab"ili[' as a speaker, Mr. Sullivan proceeded to irodu.]e one of the best addresses of the entire convention'

He stated that his subject was a mighty broad one and covered much territory. In the speaker's opinion this- is one of the most important matters for mill men to constder and cited the benehts to the Redrvood mills of their Standard Trade Practices. He suggested that Redwood could be bousht with safety from lny mill that was producing the matErial under the regulations of the California Redwood Association and that tf,e dealer was assured , at all times, of prices that were in line and fair, in addition to the assurance of risht srades, etc.

nni. Sittivan declared that it was not the fault of the manufacturer, in most cases, if the retail distributor failed to make a living profit on his sales. His idea of pro-per-merchandising is to-stick to the '1One Price" plSn of s^elling. One price-to all and hold to that price.' even in the face of the severest price-cutting competition."

The speaklr mentioned retail conditions in San .Diego and told his audience that the yards there were enjoying no profits on their sales, at the present-time, all througi. the lacli of the.thing that had been chosen for him as his subject.

G. A. (Doc) Hunter, Research Manager for the Millwork 'Institute, led'the discussion on "The Manual of Millwork." Mr. Hunter introduced a sample of Sections I and 2 of the proposed Manual, an educational series of pamphlets that wili be mailed to architects all over the state, and dealing with a phase of the millwork industry.

, Wm. J. (Billy) Glasson, of the W. J. Glasson Planing, Mill, San Diego, provided one of the hits of the meeting in his address on "The Cost of Foolish Advertising."

He cited the large number of cases, in San Diego, where planing mills and other institutions furnishing materials on good sized jobs, had been approached by the owner, or the architect or possibly a local newspaper, soliciting financial help in a large advertisement on the building. Mr. Glasson declared that the practice has become almost universally a habit, on large jobs, and that the cost had reached alarming proportions to his company. He stated his doubts of the value of such advertising, especially considering the cost of each appearance, running generally from $35 to $50.

This session closed with an impromptu number by A. W. (Al) Koehl, of John Koehl & Son, Los Angeles. Ai was on hand at all sessions with his motion picture camera and

There were two negresses living in the same house, one upstairs and the other down. One evening Diana, who lived upstairs, hearing a noise, said: "\Mho dat?"

Nan, who lived downstairs, said; "Who dat dat say'who dat?"'

Diana, replied: "Who dat dat say 'who dat' when Ah say 'who dat?'"

THE SECRET OF LUMBER SUCCESS

A lumberman moved to Kansas City not long ago and deposited $100,000 cash in a local bank. When asked the secret of his financial success, he said:

"I attribute my ability to retire with a $100,000 bank account after thirty years in the sawmill business, to close application to work, the most rigorous rules of economy in business, thorough honesty in dl transactions, everlastingly keeping at my job and always smiling, and to the further fact that an uncle recently died and left me $99,999."

SALESMANSHIP PLUS

"Did you ever have any real exciting experienpe?" I asked a traveling salesman.

"About twenty years ago" he replied, "I was ordered out of Wyoming by a notorious two-gun bad man who didn't like the suit of clothes I wore."

"\[fell, I suppose you lost no time in getting away?"

"No, sir. I bought him a couple of drinks and then sold him the suit."

WHICH?

"I won't advertise," said the dealer; "I'm a Chip off the old block, and Dad Didn't Advertise."

Did he say "Block," or "Blockhead?"

You indulge in grievous error in comparing coin with THINGS; cost should be compared by angles, never in concentric rings. Cost of eggs today reminds us that we pay four times the yen; last year twenty cents they cost us, now we pay three score and ten; yet a house to hold those chickens and a place for them to lay only costs a trifle over what it cost you yesterday.

Garibaldi, Oregon, Summer Resort Extraordinary

Friend, should you be surfeited with the heat of summer, and limp with dog-day languidness, here is a prescription for you:-GO TO GARIBALDI. NOT in Italy. In Oregon.

What the invigorating climate of San Francisco is to those rvho live in the valleys of California; what a Colorado mountain-top u'ould be to a drveller in the summery land of Texas-that Garibaldi might easily be to the citizens of the free state of Oregon,

It gets warm in Portland in midsummer. One day this summer the thermometer climbed to 104 in that beautiful Northwestern city. Other days it aimed in that same direction. Sixty miles away at Garibaldi the thermometer registered in the lorv seventies. And the sun was shining all the time too, mind you. It w'as clear and beautiful, crisp, invigorating weather. And after the sun dissappeared in the evening, a good, warm wrap was decidedly useful.

One of the most beautiful sarvmill locations in the world, is that of The Whitney Company, at Garibaldi. That's all there is at Garibaldi, is the milling institution of The Whitney Company. But that is enough to create a very attractive and delightful town.

As you drive to Garibaldi, the road strikes Tillamook

Bay, and you skirt the bay on a lovely road well up above the sparkling waters of the bay in the big timber. And you come out on a point of the road where there is a clear view of the Bay, and you look across just a quarter of a mile, at Garibaldi. The torvn is pretty nearly all in white, paint has not been spared in Garibaldi, and the little place nestles against high, green foothills of the mountains, in a way that makes you stand there for a while and look it over. The big milling plant is on and over the rvaters of the bay, there are ships loading at The Whitney docks with lumber for California and elser'r'here, and the scene is a very interesting one.

They say, in that region about Garibaldi, that it is cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter, than at any other spot in Oregon. Lots of people seem to agree to that statement. There is something about the location, right there in a nook in the mountains made by that arm of Tillamook Bay, that keeps it always near the same temperature. You are guaranteed plenty of sunshine all summer, yet you will never get too warm at Garibaldi.

The Whitney Company has a splendid milling institution at Garibaldi. It is only a few years old. And parts of their institution, their re-manufacturing plant, for instance, is very new. They cut about 25O,00O feet of lumber on a single shift, and their timber is all old growth Yellow Fir-

the timber of which the Northwest is very proud. Their timber runs heavy to uppers, they do a lot of re-manufacturing, they ship about half their product by water, and they make a specialty of wonderful flooring, ceiling, and finish. They tie all their bundle stock with bright green cord, which is their trade mark and big advertisement. If it's from Garibaldi, it's tied in green, so you'll know it.

Russell Hawkins, the genial and courtly President of The Whitney Company, lives at Garibaldi, and you are fortunate indeed, if he is there to dispense hospitality during your visit, and to tell you in his interesting way of Garibaldi, its timber, its mill, its hopes and aspirations. And Harry Morgan, General Manager of The Whitney Company, who has been sawmilling on the coast of Oregon for many years, will fill you with enthusiasm over their plant and their product, and their merchandising offorts.

During the past summer a small group of visitors from the South visited Garibaldi, and of that visit only the following things need be said to indicate its success-from the visitors' standpoint. They had three meals in Garibaldi. One of them was wonderful fried chicken and sweet potatoes. One of them was Tillamook crabs ("the most delicate and wonderful crabs in the Pacific"). And the third was a huge platter of mountain trout.

Need anything more be said to add to the greatness of Garibaldi ?

Long-BellRetail Men Visit Longview and Weed-J. H. Foresman Heads Party

Headed by J. H. Foresman of Kansas City, Vice President in charge of their great retail department, fourteen men actively identified with the retail department of the LongBell Lumber Company, have been in the West for the past two weeks. Many of them are accompanied by their ladies, as shown in the attached list.

Their first visit was to the great sawmill plant of the company at Longview, Washington. They arrived at Longview on July 3fth, and remained there for a week. All of this time was spent by the men in going over the various departments of the great Longview plant, watching the cutting, preparing and shipping of lumber and educating themselves in the qualities and uses of Fir and Hemlock. Each department was given a full quota of their time, so that they might take back with them to their retail positions a thorough understanding of their product, and apply it to their merchandising of lumber.

On Monday, August 2nd, the entire party, including the ladies and the executives of the company, began their trip over the mills, and they had an informal program with their luncheon in one of the company cafeterias. With Roy Morse, General l\{anager of operations in charge of the program, short talks were made by most of those present. including Mr. R. A. Long, Chairman of the Board; I\{r. M. B. Nelson, President; Mr. John B. Tennant, Vice President; Mt. J. H. Foresman, Vice President. One of the speakers on the program was Jack Dionne, lvho spent this day with the party. The little luncheon program was a very happy aftair, and there was some group singing mixed with the talking.

The party remained a week at Longview, and then went to Weed, Calif., where the T,ong-Bell Lumber Company operates a great California pine plant, and here they spent four days. From Weed the party scattered, most of them going back to their homes in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.

__The following.is the personnel of the visiting party: J. H. Foresman and wife and daughter, Mrs. C. W. Goodrurn, of Kansas City, Mo.; F. V. Baxter, wife and daughter, Kansas City, Mo. (Mr. Baxter is purchasing agent for the retail yard department); E. e. Mason and wife, Oklahoma Qity; W. B. Kramer, Wichita, Kansas; J. E. Pennybaker, Kansas City, Mo.; W. E. Clay and wife, Tulsa,-Okla.i

Glenwood Hutton, Altus, Okla.; F. G. Roseboom and wife, Wichita Falls, Texas; T. R. Boggess and wife, Ponca City, Okla.; H. W. Watson and wife, Larvton, Okla.; L. F. Broderson and wife, Oklahoma City; H. B. Foresman and wife, Enid, Okla.; J. W. Garrott, wife and daughter, Wichita, Kansas.

Messrs. Mason, Cramer, Pennybaker, Clay, Davis and Hutton are the district managers of the company, and divide between them the management of 116 retail lumber yards.

Reduced Rail Rates Granted for Hoo Hoo Annual at Kansas City

A reduced rate of fare and one-half for the round trip has been granted by the railroads for delegates attending the Thirty-fifth Hoo-Hoo Annual at Kansas City, September 28, D and 30. The arrangement was made on the certificate plan.

Information as to the procedure necessary to take advantage of the reduced rate is in possession of International Hoo-Hoo Headquarters, in St. Louis. Questionnaires seeking inquiries from members of the Order as to these details are being mailed out to the membership from Headquartefs.

Under the certificate plan, a delegate is required to advise the ticket agent where he makes his purchase, that 'he is going to Kansas City to attend the Hoo-Hoo Annual, and that he desires a certificate. The agent rvill furnish the certificate.

In purchasing his ticket for the return trip from Kansas City, the delegate is required to present this certificate, after it has been validated by J. E. Johnston, chairman of the Hoo-Hoo transportation committee at Kansas City, to the ticket agent. The return trip ticket then rvill cost only half of the regular price.

A "New Model"in Sawmilling

Oakdale, La., Aug. 4.-Hillyer Deutsch Edwards, Inc., of this City, evidently believe that the policy of the automobile manufacturers in putting out a new model every yeag is a good one, and they are following it in their sawrnill operations.

This concern, nolr' but twelve years old, has been adding to and refining its operations yearly, and it starts this month with one of the latest things in hardwood manufacture, a complete remanufacturing and "cutting to pattern" shop at their Oakdale plant. This plant has just been completed and will work practically every pattern called for in commercial woodworking.

Also completed within the past year are the batteries of dry-kilns, absolutely the "last word" in the proper drying of lumber. Hillyer Deutsch Edwards has recognized the immense importance of proper moisture content and today every stick of lumber that goes into their kilns has.its rnoisture content known both before and after it is dried. The kilns automatically control both heat and humidity, and nothing is left to chance or to human failure to be on the job.

All sap gum is given its "steam bath" as it comes out of the mill, killing the spores that would produce the fungi, the blue stain which is the enemy of good gumwood.

Another innovation is a new loading dock and system. A corps of inspectors stand at the cars, under a chief inspector, and everything that is not accepted on the order is sent either to a reserve dry-shed, or to the remanufacturing plant to be refined by resawing, trimming, etc. After this operation it is also sent to the reserve shed, another step for quick shipment under adverse circumstances.

The dry-sheds hold about trvo million feet of lumber, and a reserve of every grade in all kinds of hardwoods is held here for rainy day work. No order can conte into the plant upon which work cannot be immediately commenced. Stacking is another thing in which exceptional care is taken, even to recognizing the importance of proper stripe and stripping. Every strip used in stacking for kiln-drying is of oak and is sized two sides.

A new resaw has been added at the chains tb make thin stock at each hardrvood pla4t.

The Glenmora plant of this company is operated under the firm name of I{illyer Edrvards Fuller, Inc. It was bought about trvo and'a half years ago, just an ordinary hardwood mill. Today it is as clean, complete, and efficient a hardwood manufacturing. plant as there is in the United States. It has capacity of about fifty five thousand feet a d"y.

The Oakdale plant has a capacity of about one hundred thousand feet daily, while the plant at I\Iab, cutting long and short leaf pine, has a capacity of about sixty thousand. This pine mill has also been rebuilt almost completely in the past year or so.

Hillyer Deutsch Edwards, Jnc. own a strip of about fifty five miles long down the Calcasieu River, giving them both hardwood and pine cutting for many years.

URGES ACTION

Spokane, Wash., Aug. 6.-The lumberman must adopt modern merchandising methods if the lumbering industry is to keep pace with its substitute industries, officers of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association told members of the \Mestern Pine Manufacturers' Association at their semi-annual meeting held at Spokane, Wash., recently.

"The lumber industry is decreasing in an alarming proportion because the lumberman is too prone to sit back and expect business to come to him," said Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary-manager of the national association.

The lumber happened to be /s" SUPERCEDAR Closet Lining, and that is why they were able to load such a quantity. Evidently when Roy Stanton orders a car of lumber, he means a car Full.

No Enemies

Bob Ingersoll used to say that a lot of the alleged Christians that he knew were in the same class as the fierce old Spaniard who was on his death bed, and they had brought the Priest in to give him the last rites of the dying.

"Before you can be forgiven for your sins" said the kindly little Priest to the dying man, you must forgive all your

"I haverl't an enemy in the world" replied the old Spa.iard-

'What?" asked the amazed priest, who knew something of the life of the dying man,-'(no enernies?"

"Not an enemy in the world" replied the dying man, "f killed the last one day before yesterday."

ONLY WOMAN HOO.HOO IS DEAD

Death has claimed the only woman who ever held membership in Hoo-Hoo.

When Mrs. Mary Anna Smith of Searcy, Ark., died at her,home July 25th, Hoo-IIoo became again a strictly masculine order for the first time in 31 years-for Mrs. Smith had been an active, loyal member during that time.

Initiated into the Order in Memphis, Tenn., February 20, 1895, Mrs. Smith maintained her standing as an active member throughout the years. Her Hoo-Hoo number, 2877, assigned her following her passage through the onion beds in regular Concatenation, occupies a place of honor on the rolls of the Order as that of one who gave a great loyalty to principles in which she was deeply interested, even though her sex prohibited an active participation such as she would have enjoyed.

Besides the distinction of being the only woman to hold a membership in the Order, Mrs. Smith is the first lvoman for whose death the Helping Hand of Hoo-Hoo has been extended. The regular benefit has been extended to her beneficiary, Mrs. May Smith Branch, of Search.

The application of Mrs. Smith for membership shows that she was manager of the Smithkin Lumbel Co. at Smithon, Ark., at the time of her initiation. It also shows that she was born February 17, 1858, at Summerville, Tenn. She was recommended for'membership by William Eddy Barns, No. 3, later Snark of the lJniverse and norv deceased, and Calvin S. Woodworth. No. 16. also deceased.

A Scotchman died and went to ven's gate. He knocked and St. Peter asked, "Who's ?,' swer, "and I want in.t' full up, and, ber one." etre

"WILL YOU STAND FOR THIS?''

.To The Editor:

Our attention bas been attracted to a matted or electrotyped page of profusely illustrat€d reading matter that, perhaps, has been sup- plicd to you as it has been to other editors.

We desire to put you on your guard against using it.

"Is Civilization Done With Wood?" is the heading of this vicious and grotesque attack on the wood industries, which support more people than any other group of industries in America excelrt agriculture.

We know you would not "fall" for such a clunasy piece of camouflaged business slander irnd assassination if its pulpose and effect were called to your attention. Our only fear is that you may use it from the point of view of an interesting bit of irresponsible fiction, without thinking of the irreparable injury it may do to your own to-wn, yo!r_ own townspeople and to yourself, as well as to a group of great industries.

Respectfully yours,

Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager.
