San Francisco Gets Thrill

The above photograph shows a Douglas Fir timber 20 in. x 22 in. and 114 fCet long, which will be used in repairing one of the arms on the Dutch Windmill, at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The timber was furnished to the Park Commission through J' H. Callum, the well known San Francisco lumber dealer. Flyod Elliott, San Francisco representative for the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. got this attractive order from Fred Roth, sales manaeer foi I. H. McCallum. The timber came from the Ostr"ander Railway & Timber Co., Ostrander, Washington, which company are represented in California by the Chas.

R. McCormick Co. This transaction was consummated in just ten days, the order was booked on September 26 and rvas discharged on the San Francisco wharf from the steamer Multnomah on October 6. The timber weighed 14.630 pounds.

- The timber was transported by truck from the dock to Golden Gate Park, which in itself was some feat in transportation. Needless to say, the transportation of the timber through the down town.streets of the city created considerable interest, and rather demoralized traffic, especially when turning corners. The timber was delivered at Golden Gate Park in excellent condition.
