H. C. Clark, Los Angeles manager for the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, of Eug/ene, an old experienced. lumberman and one who is ginerally given credit for knowing whereof he speaks, was discussing the use of Hemlock in the California market the other day.

It seems that is a It or f,nls on this wood, not as well known probably as Fir, some of Mr. Clark's remarks were highly interesting. quote some of them below: ft seems that there is a variance of opinion in this state and

"There used to be a strong prejudice against hemlock boards, due to the fact that most of this stock was shipped in by water and was, therefore, green and very heavy. It was unsatisfactory, expensive to handle, and went to pieces badly in seasoning.

"shrewd lumbermen have found that hemlock, cut from big trees and thoroughly seasoned at the mill, is excellent stock. It is the best knotted of the soft woods, there being fewer knots and all small and tight. Any possible degrading is done at the time of shipment and the stock is received thoroughly seasoned, is handled at a minimum expense and may be piled solid. One Sacramento dealer who sells much shiplap will handle nothing but hemlock.

"For years The Booth-Kelly Lumber Company of Eugene, Oregon, with sales offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles, has had a large trade in hemlock boards in the Middle West and recently have been making shipments into Southern California and Arizona where they are gaining great favor. The number two is used by box factories."

Tacoma. Wash.. Oct. 15.-The Atlantic coast has absorbed a huge quantity of lumber this year, yellow pine has not been able to supply all the demand and prices have risen, notwithstanding the fact that the Pacific Northwest has not felt the rise, according to information given the Tacoma Lumbermen's Club, Wednesday, by Edgar A. Hirsch, head of the Hirsch Lumber company of New York, prominent wholesalers of the East.

"More and more demand for lumber will iall back on the Northwest as the years pass," said Mr. Hirsch, who is out to size up the situation in the fir belt.

The October issue of the "British Columbia Lumberman," a noted lumber publication coming from Vancouver, B. C., and serving the entire Canadian lumber industry, contains a startling innovation in lumber trade journalism. one that well meiits favorable comment from contemporary journals. It is a pleasure for this publication to acknowledge, publicly, the wonderful piece of work.

On the opening of the new plant of the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Company, Chemainus, Vancouver Island, the British Columbia Lumber Lumberman featured the event by a special supplement in their October issue, running over eighty pages, showing dozens of views of the new plant, its officers and a large number of the workers, and telling in detail of the various features of the plant that go to make it one of the great manufacturing institutions of British Columbia.

It was truly a beautiful piece of- york.

Mr. Thos. Onick has disposed of his interest in the Willowbrook Limber Company, to his former partner Peter Nelson.

For 20 years we have stuck to one game"California Cargo."

Our experierrce has convinced us that the Hart-Wood System of having at all times a large stock of lumber on hand and in transit best serves the California Retailer.

Our reward has been the constant and steady growth of our business.
