Port Orford Ccder who has just returned from a tour of the country, gave a brief talk, winding up with the remark, that while he had visited a large number of cities in the north and east, on this trip, he was better than ever satisfied with his home County. While claiming to be "retired," he is still extremely active, but is devoting himself largely to civic interests of his community. Having the satisfaction of seeing the fine paved road completed for the whole 35 miles from San Diego to Ramona, with the immediate progpect of the remaining gap filled in to Julian, making a continuous fine, scenic drive, through fertile valleys, and over easy mountain grades, to the heights of the Cuyamacas, a dream for whose fulfillment he has worked so hard for lo ! these many years, he is now heart and soul devoting himself to the pro- ject of having paved the present very good highway from Ramona, through the famous San Pasqual valley to Escondido, thus completing another paved outlet to the coast, for which all the residents of that locality are enlisted, shouting their suggestive slogan, "Ramona-to-the-Sea," and in which all local Hoo Hoo heartily join.

(Continued from Page 59.)

The project of starting a local Hoo Hoo bulletin was discussed, and it is hoped that the first issue will appear at an early date, although no very definite plans have yet been formed. It is felt that there is sufficient talent to make such a publication a success and of interest to the lumber fraternity of this County. Rather prematurely, it is suggested that the publicity man formerly selected by the club act as editor-in-chief, but the latt,er, after consulting with other officers of the club, feels that it will be advisable, first of all, to elect a board of directors, to guide the destinies of the proposed paper and be responsible for it in a financial way, first appointing a business manager to look after the practical details. Give us time, brethren, and we may have something interesting to show you ere long.

Before closing it may be well to mention that these dinners are held-promptly at six o'clock, so that we may get through in good season, in time to adjourn each week to the Coliseum, for it must be admitted our membership contains a good percentage of "fight fans." Don't think that our genial "Mack" D. is the onlv one !

CITY WILL O\MN LUMBER WHARF

Although Los Angeles .already owns or controls 90 per cent of its harbor wharfage, with most of the remaining 10 per cent devoted to the lumber industry, th,e city will shortly begin deriving revenue from its own, and first, municipal lumber dock.

The new dock and yards on Terminal fsland, soon to be designated Berth 28, are expected to be in operation by February 1, according to estimates given out by the Harbor Department.

Lying between the Hammond Lumber Company wharves at Berth 224 and the new slip and shed at Berths 230-A and 230-8, this municipal dock is 793 feet long and 60 feet wide. It is equipped with five tracks, two of them in the center depressed, the other three along the wharf proper rvhere lumber can be discharged directly to freight cars without re-handling.

Provided by the Harbor Department primarily for independent lumber companies without wharves of their own, it is still likely that the }lammond Lumber Company, due to the close proximity of its establishment, will be a large user of the new dock when schooners congest its own wharves.

"Some of the Things the Public ought to know about the Air Service" was the subject discussed by Col. Frank P. Lahm, Air Officer 9th Corp Area, at the luncheon of HooHoo Club No. t held at the Palace Hotel on December 10. "Aerial transportation is a fact, it is here to stay, and will play an important part in the economical life of the nation," Col. Lahm stated. It is a great saver of time, he said in referring to the air mail service between San Francisco and New York, cutting down the time to 32 hours, and it was his opinion that v/ithin a reasonable time that they lYo{d be trinsporting the mail between the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts in lZ to 15 hours. In discussing commercial aeronautics, he told what has already been accomplished in I'urope and the progress that is being made in the United Statei. He stated tliat the greatest difficulty in aeronautics was the developing of commercial ways, and at the pres_ent time he said tliat ihe air way between New York and San Francisco was the best in the world. He also referred to air way communication through the radio, the Wilson Bill which has been introduced in Congress for air plane control, and the relation between the War Department and commercial aeronautics.

Emanuel' Fritz, associate professor of Forestry at the University of California, was the chairman of the day, and in introducing Col. Lahm spoke on the progress made .in the air plane service since the days of its inception and he also referred to the good work that had been accomplished by Col. Lahm during the days when the air service was in its infancy.
