"And he won't pay you?"

"Pay me? Hell, I can't get him to even worry about it."

A fellow from New York came out here last spring to look over a saw mill he had bought up near Pequot. On arriving at the station he was met by the mill owner who was to take the stranger out to his purchase. On the road out the Northerner confessed his ignorance of the sawmill business and asked for a few pointers.

"Wal, stranger," said the old timer, "I'd like to 'blige you, but you see it is this here way: My father-in-law died a few years ago and left me the mill; my three boys run it, so it doesn't cost nothin' for wages; I steal all the timber myself ; my brother-in-law is division freight agent on the railroad and he sneaks all the lumber out for me free. but last year I went six hundred dollars in the hole."

Wood a million years old has been found in California, according to C. K. Hill of the United States Forest Service, San Francisco, who sent a sample to the F orest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis., where it was identified as belonging to the genus Sequoia. This piece of wood was.taken from 500 feet underground in a tunnel of the California-Hawaiian Development Company, in Long Canyon, T. 13 N., R. 12 E., Mt. Diablo Meridian, on September 17, 1920. The log was buried in the gravels of the tertiary stream bed about twelve feet under the lava cap_of the great flow which terminated the Tertiary Period. It is remarkable in the fact that it is neither petrified nor disintegrated, except as to the lighter springwood of some of the annual rings.

To increase the ease of marketing and using short lengths, will do'much toward reducing waste at the sawmill and lessening cost of house construction without further delay or expense.

To supplement the quite thorough general quantitative studies already made, further work seems especially necessary along the lines of a localized qualitative analysis of short lengths outlets and practices.

A committee of manufacturers and dealers, representing the General Lumber Conference, is now determining whal further studies are necessary. Any further work called for !f this committee for performattce by the Forest Products Laboratory will require additiohal funds, since the Laboratory has only a very small amount available for short lengths studies at the present time.

San Francisco, Oct. 5, 1925. t M..J. E. Martin, c/o California Lumber Merchant, 900 Matson Bldg., San Francisco,

Dear Sir:

On page 65 of the October lst issue of the California Lumber Merchant, I noticed an article in which you mention that I am now connected with the Smith Lumber Company of San Francisco.

This statement is incorrect, since the Smith Lumber Company of San Francisco is the retail yard. I am connected with the Wm. Smith Lumber Co. of California as manag'er of the Wholesale Department. For the sake of accuracy, may I ask you to make the necessary correction.

Yours truly,

HENRY F. KALVELAGE.
