I remember what a lot of splendid men were in charge of lumber club and association activities back in !9t22, when The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT started publishing. The first issue was on July 1st of that year.

For instance:

The California Lumbermen's Association was headed by President Fred E. Conner of Sacramento.

The Southern California Retail Lumbermen's Association had ofEces in Los Angeles, with W. T. Davies,.President, and F. L. Morgan, Secretary and Treasurer.

Henry S. Patten was President and Henry Riddiford was Secretary of the Lumbermen's Exchange of Los Angeles, and the office was headquarters for lumber information in Southern California.

Walter C. Ball was President and Frank Parimino was Secretary of the Douglas Fir Club of San Francisco.

H. S. Fuller, of Lodi, was President of the Central Catrifornia Retail Lumber group.

C. W. Pinkerton of Whittier was President of the Orange County Lumbermen's Club.

E. T. Robie, of Auburn, was President of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club.

J. C. Ferger was President and Frank J. Minard was Secretary of the San Joaquin Valley Lumbermen's Club.

Then there were the two big lum er manufacturers associations. The California Redwood Association, with offices in San Francisco, was run by Secretary and Manager R. F. Hammatt; and the California White and Sugar Pine Association, with.offices in San Francisco, was managed by Secretary C. Stowell Smith. The Western Pine Association succeeded the latter organization years later.

Every man in the above list would make a fine historical chapter, had I the room for same. There were truly many great men in the California lumber associations in those days.

I shall continwe my recollections in succeeding issues.

S. F. Hoo-Hoo Club President Mike Coonan, and Ed Dreessen, general chairman of Club 9's annual Roundup Nite, report that the club has gone all-out this year in building a Roundup Spectacular to end them all. The'best in entertaniment, food and beverage awaits any Northern' California lumberman holding a "Class A pass" for the evening of October 11. The place is San Francisco's Surf Club, which has been readied for a 300-plus turnout. The location of the Surf Club at Playland-at-the-Beach on the Great Highway affords plenty of free parking for all.
