'tir$&ig&ild l*8*l' l i'l' Happy New Year! *rt+

Ho#s this for a New Year's prayer? ..Give me, Oh Lord, a sense of humor, so that I may witness the antics of the world about me, without screaming aloudt"

Or shall we choose ""n" a"-*ncher,s prayer,, by Oscar Rush:

"Let me be easy on the man that,s down, And make me square and generous with all; I'm careless, Lord, sornetimes when I'm in town, But never Iet them say I'm mean,a4d sfnell.,'

We are standing at this moment at the junction of two years. 1937 was like unto the month of March. ft came in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb. Business was wonderful when 1937 opened its calendar. And it got better for six months. Then-Zowie ! The year ended as flatly as it started enthusiastically.

And what of 1938? That's the one big question that every thinking human is'asking at this moment. Someone has said that "these are trying times.'l They ARE. They REALLY are. Everyone trying to decide whether this is a Recession or a Depression. The Republicans are blaming present conditions on the Democrats. The anti-New Dealers are trying to hang it on the New Deal. The New Dealers are trying to hang it on the stock exchange and on the "economic royalists." And all of us small fry are trying to get cash enough together to pay what Christmas cost us. Tryrng times, indeed I

But what of the coming year? To save my life I cannot figure out that the slow business conditions of the last three months are the beginning of a new Depression. There are none of the conditions existing that make Depressions -with one exception. That exception, as acknowledged by every human that discusses it, is lack of confidence. That is our only trouble.

Take the building business, for example. There is greater need for homes and other buildings in the country today than there was a year ago today, when business in building was booming. And there is more money available to buy buildings with than there was then. Everyone

t#tssru**S}li'

knows we need homes in all parts of this land. But for weeks the building market and the building material market has been dead as Cicero. The only difference between today and a year ago today is that people who build got a scare last fall, and that shadow is still over us. There is no other physical or financial reason for this situation. *rfrf

So I see no good reason why it should not pass; no good reason why there should not be a fairly rapid resumption of building, and of the sale of building materials. The proposed'revision of the Federal Housing Act would help a whalg of a.lo$r*rihfrpuld not perform the miracle of lifting all business out of the muck, as some folks think, but it would raise the general average of business a lot, and help the lumber business to beat the band. It would furnish lotsof work for lots of people, both buitding mechanics and makers of building material.

rm looking ro, " a""il"o* rrrln-rr"ment in the tumber business before the New Year is thirty days old. Building material prices are down. Labo.r costs, unfortunately, are still at their 1937 peak, and it is probable that the building crafts are trading high hourly scales for low weekly envelopes. A reduction in ALL building costs would do much to encourage a return of building activity. ***

Things are happening in Washington that are taking some of the fear off of business men. The return of the wage and hours bill to committee will have that effect. A demonstration of power on the part of a growing number of opponents of governmental regulation of business, will help relieve the tension that investors feel. The fact that there is a bloc in Congress that is willing and able to fight unwise legislation, will do more than any other one thing to loosen the bonds of industry, and start the wheels turning. ft is interesting, indeed, to note the way the people and the press are turning to Vice-President Garner, and hailing him as a sane and conservative leader who may be depended upon to block destructive legislation, just as he did last summer.

tt:t*

It is almost certain that after the first of the year, Congress is going to take some action with regard to the punitive tax bills it passed so hurriedly two years ago. That will help. Some modification of the Wagner Act that

would make it, as it was intended to be, an instrument for curing labor troubles, rather than creating them, would help the consciousness of business, also. And then, if Congress will show its determination to proceed legislatively to work for recovery and productivity, rather than for reform and regulation with dl its attendant restrictions and fears, 1938 could easily follow the example of the month of March, and go out like a business lion, in a blaze of glory. ***

We have only got to get rid of the thing the power magnate was talking about. fn November the papers told of a conference between a big power man, and President Roosevelt. The power man made the statement that his group is ready and eager to start a billion dollar expansion and

Announces New Appointments

Effective December 1, John R. Gray, general manager of The Diamond Match Company, Chico, Calif., announces the appointment of R. A. Colgan, Jr., as production manager; I. E. Brink, manager yards and stores, and B. H. Taylor Anderson, sales manager and purchasing agent.

Mr. Brink's division comprises: retail yards and stores; apiary department; transportation, and purchases.

construction program that would give huge employment. The President leaned forward, eagerly, and asked: "Then why don't you start?" The power man replied, "Because we can'tsell our securities on account of the" -he paused a moment "because of the general feeling." The President leaned back. He didn't ask what that "general feeling" was.

Personally, I think .r,ilg" "rJ happening fast, and will continue to happen in 1938, that will replace that "general feeling" with a lot of the confidence that has been so definitely lacking, even during the early part of 1937 when business was so mighty good. And if it does, we are going to have a grand business year in 1938.

Will Serve on Congervation Committee

Gordon Manary of Scotia, logging superintendent of The Pacific Lumber Company and vice-president of the Pacific Logging Congress, has been ,named to the Conservation Committee of theNorth Coast Council, California State Chamber of Commerce, to represent the redwood lumber industry.

One of the best known lumbermen in the west, Mr. Manary is also an authority on fire control and an exponent of practical conservation and management of natural resources.

Low Cost Housing Discussed bv Research Group

Washington, Dec. 11.-A discussion of low-cost housing featured a meeting of the Research program Committee on Building Matelials and Structures, representing the Central Housing Committee, held December g at the National Bu_ reau of Standards in Washington, D. C. Dr. Hugh L. Dry_ den, Chief of the Division of Mechanics and Sound, Bureau of Standards, and L. J. Markwardt of the Forest products Laboratory, U. S. Forest Service, Madison, Wisconsin, were the speakers.

Dr. Dryden outlined the activities of his department. He said his staff had carried on fundamental research in building problems for years, and would continue application of knowledge gained to these problems.

"There is no method by which we can measure the qual_ ity of a house," said Dr. Dryden, ,,and a study of the elements of a home such as the walls, floors, and ceiling will give us data relative to its quality.,,

The problem of obtaining satisfactory housing at a cost within reach of low-income groups is a problem that has no ready-made solution, and those solutions applicable to one section of the country may not be satisfactory to an_ other.

The solution will not come from any single agency, he said, adding that the Bureau believes it will come most quickly from encouragement of large numbers of groups within the building industry to attack the engineering prol_ lems, and by working with them to improve their products at costs within the limits set.

Mr. Markwardt, who was introduced by George W. Trayer, Chief, Division of Forest products, U. S. -Forest Service, spoke on "The place of Wood and Its Structural Behavior in Low-Cost Housing.,,

He said the Laboratory was trying to do three things, namely-reduce the cost of forest products to the "orrrrr-"r, reduce waste, and increase the products and uses of wood. He likewise said that U. S. Forest Service investigations have to do with the effective utilization of timber as well as its production and protection, and mentioned other objectives of the Forest Service, such as the regulation of

stream flow, recreation and game preservation. Emphasizing that wood is a self-replacing building material, he stated that 75 per cent or more of all homes were built of frame, and 60 per cent or better of lumber output went into building and construction.

Discussing the unique qualities of plywood-its lightness,.strength and durability-the speaker, with the aid of lantern slides and motion pictures, described the construction of an all-plywood home erected at a total cost of but $3,600.

Showing how the panels, flooring, roofing, walls and ceiling were constructed, Mr. Markwardt illustrated the ease of building a home of this type.

Pictures were shown of a one-story dwelling now being erected, incorporating the results of the latest research findings as to moisture barriers, insulation and fire resistance. The house contains two bedrooms, a kitchen, bath, utility closet and living room and dining alcove. This demonstration home in some details was like the first one erected on the Forest Products Laboratory grounds at Madison to study feasibility of prefrabrication and assembly, and this first unit has been dismantled and rebuilt three times on various sites.

The teacher had forbidden her class to chew gum or candy during class hours. She had proven most severe in her efforts to enforce that order, and there was not a youngster in the class who dared suffer her displeasure.

One day she saw little Jimmy apparently trying to hide behind one of his text books, and she thought she noticed a suspicious looking lump in Jimmy's cheek.

"Jimmy!" she cried accusingly, "isn't that chewing gum in your mouth?"

"No, ma'am," said Jimmy, looking as if he were caught sheep stealing.

"Then what is it?" she demanded to know.

"Teacher," said Jimmy, confidentially, "I'm just soakin' a prune to eat at recess."

Offers Course on FHA Insured Mortgages Fir Plywood Production Shows Steady Gain

A new and comprehensive course of study of the Federal Housing Administration insured mortgage lending system will be included in the winter quarter curriculum of University College, downtown evening division of the University of Southern California.

Based on text material of the American Institute of Banking, the course will cover legal aspects of mortgage and deed of trust in California foreclosures, liability of buyer of mortgage properties, mortgage investment standards for banks and other financial institutions, mortgage selection and risk and otheri phases of the field, according to Dean Ernest W. Tiegs, head of the school.

George A. Schneider, real estate broker, author of California Real Estate Principles and Practices, and lecturer at U.S.C. for the past twelve years, will conduct the course on Mondays at 7 p.m. He also will offer two other courses, "Real Estate Finance" and "Real Estate Principles and Practices."

John B. Kennedy will present a course on "Advanced Real Estate Appraisals," dealing with property valuation, rvith the emphasis on residential and other major types of construction.

The growing realization of Douglas fir Plywood's usefulness is well illustrated by the stater.nent of unit production issued by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. In this statement it is shown that production of plywood in 1925 was 153,262,6O8 square feet, but has been increasing steadily until i,n 1936 production showed the record figure of 700,000,000 square feet. The industry directly employs 5,000 people in its own mills, with another 1,000 intimately associated with the production of materials used in plywood manufacture. In round figures, $25,000,000 represents the industry's investment, with an annual pay roll of $7,500,000. Raw material and supplies constitute total annual purehases of $7,500,000.

Reorganizes Handling of Lumber from Green Chain to Driers

The Red River Lumber Company has reorganized the handling of lumber from green chain to driers during 1937 by the installation of new automatic stackers and a tenton hammerhead Brute crane. The stackers were built by the Moore Dry Kiln Company of Portland, Oregon, and the crane by the Star Iron and Steel Company of Tacoma. Crane and stackers are handling 250,000 board feet each eight-hour shift.

The crane has an automatic grapple operating on a radius up to 95 feet with a live load of 13,500 pounds. The crane weighs 220,WJ pounds and travels at a speed of 300 feet per minute on a track of 2O-foot gauge. The operating radius allows the crane to reach packages on both sides of the green chain

The Moore stackers tilt to break down the load each tier being released by a foot pedal and conveyed to the drier car which lowers automatically on a hydraulic elevator. Communication between stackers, green chain and crane operator is by two-way radio telephone. The seventy tunnels of reversible circulation driers, served by this new equipment, is now handling the entire plant output from clears to commons with the exception of mine timbers and

Seventy-five years ago, during the administration of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. William Carson and John Dolbeer formed the partnership which has since grown into one of the best known lumber firms onthe Pacific Coast.

William Carson, a native of New Brunswick, arrived in Humboldt County in 1851, started working in the Redwoods in that year, and in 1857 operated a sawmill with a partner named Philip Hinkle.

He later met John Dolbeer, who had come from Maine, and in 1863 these two stalwart men built the foundation on which the present Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company is constructed. Around these two rugged pioneers centers quite a little of thehistory of Humboldt County, especially of the lumber industry, much of which has been forgotten and the little that is known is fast dying outwith the old timers.

There are few histories or other books which give arr

In Continuous Operation Si

accurate account of those early days in California, upon which the foundation of the wealth and progress of the present generation is built. On one thing the histories and the old timers agree, however, and that is the fact that William Carson shipped the first cargo of Redwood out of Humboldt Bay.

Starting with a very small circular saw operation, each new plant that follorved the preceding one was planned to embody the good points of its predecessors, so that the modern electric mill now operated by this company is considered by many lumbermen who have inspected it, second to none of the Redwood mills in efficiency. A modern electric power plant furnishes the energy not only for the sawmill proper, but for the battery of six dry kilns and numerous reworking machines that enable Dolbeer & Carson to render its customers service in keeping with the quality of its product.

made by this company. The two main rigs and the sevenfoot resaw give this mill an average daily production of 1CI,000 feet, which, due to the high class timber owned by the company, includes a.large percentage of Clear and other upper grade material.

In addition to the long sorting table the mill has two outlets, one for ties, the other for large timbers. This method of handling the mill's production of ties and timbers adds greatly to the efficiency with which the general output of the mill is taken care of from the table and distributed to the various grade piles in the green and dry yards. The kiln-dried stock is unloaded from kiln trucks under cover and transferred to the large dry sheds adjoining the planing mill. Worked dry orders for rail shipment are assembled in separate sheds also adjoining the planing mill and are then loaded into cars rvithout being exposed to the weather.

the uniformly high grades that have characterized this operation since its inception.

Needless to say, this company having successfully carried on for these many years-through poor times and goodmust have a sales policy based on square dealing with both customers and competitors. As is the case in the personnel of the manufacturing departmeqt, comparatively few changes have ever been made in the sales department.

The general sales office, located in San Francisco, is in charge of Henry M. Hink, who has been associated with the company since 1910. Harry G. Hood, assistant in general sales office, San Francisco, has been with the com. pany since 1925. In the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara territories, R. E. Seward is the sales representative, and the San Diego Lumber Company is the company's representative in that market.

The executive officers are J. M. Carson, president, Eureka; Henry M. Hink, vice-president, San Francisco; V. M. Kemble, secretary, San Francisco.

E. J. (Joe) Stewart is general superintendent at Eureka, with 39 years of service to his credit, while Hugh Smith, the mill superintendent, has seen 36 years of service. J. C. White is chief engineer, and is well qualified to fill this position, having personally supervised the installation of all electrical equipment in the new plant.

Alden Ball, Eureka, looks after shipments. E. J. ("Abe") Abrahamson, is planing mill superintendent, while C. A. ("Chet") Moore, has charge of dry kiln operations.

Clarence E. La Boyteaux is general superintendent of logging and railroad operations. B. N. Bullock is Eureka office manager as well as a director of the company.

It is interesting to note here that the third generation of the Carson family is now represented in the organization in the person of Ellsworth La Boyteaux, grandson of President J. M. Carson, who is now learning the business from the ground up.

SPENDS CHRISTMAS IN SOUTHLAND

A. A. Kelley, of the Santa Fe Lumber Co., San Francisco, traveled to Southern California to be with his family, who are staying in Banning for the winter.

Washington, Dec. 16.-4 book recently pubtished by the Department of the Interior for Civilian Conservation Corps project training entitled "Lumber," compiles information on the source of lumber, its characteristics, and common forms in which it is prepared for use, as a means of providing basic data for project training in the carpentry trade.

Containing knowledge invaluable to the layman, "Lumber" describes forest products from their source to standard patterns and structural material. Chapters devoted to "selection for Farm and Home Building," "Defects in Lumber and Unfounded Beliefs," "Finish'or Select Lumber," "Lumber Grades," and "Dimension Lumber" are found in the contents as well as additional material on wood uses.

"Lumber" says that one-fourth of our land or 50O million acres is in forests and that 14 billion cubic feet of timber is used annually. This annual cut, according to the publication, is used as follows:

35 billion board feet of lumber; enough for 2,400,00O sixroom houses.

150,000,000 railroad ties; enough for 46,875 miles of standard track.

4,000,000 cords of pulpwood.

110,000,000 cords of fuel wood. About half of our people tuse wood for fuel.

500,000,000 fence posts; enough for 757,575 miles of fence, with the posts set 8 feet apart.

170,000,000 feet of round mine timber.

8,000,000 pieces of pole and piling. Without the wooden pole our telephone and telegraph system would be impossible.

1,500,000,000 barrel staves.

Waste is transformed into clothing and fibre containers. Other requirements are for wooden vats and taps and for the handles of tools and utensils.

Tracing wood from its source the book describes sapwood, hardwood, structure, rvorking qualities and selection of lumber and then its classification and grading. Millwork. is likewise mentioned in one chapter.

"Lumber" concludes with a summation of lumber abbreviations and a glossary of definitions and trade terms.

Robert Hutcheson Retires-With E. K. Increased Activity Planned for 1938 bv \(/heeler Osgood

\7ood Lumber Co. Thirty-Two years

Robert Hutcheson, credit manager for E. K. Wood Lumber Co. at its Los Angeles office, is retiring on January 1, 1938. He went with the company on January 1, 1906, and on January 1, 1938, will have completed thirty-two' years with the firm. For the past twenty years he has been credit manager.

Mr. Hutcheson was the guest of honor at a stag dinner at the Central Manufacturing District Club, Tuesday evening, December 21, when the company presented him with a beautiful Hamilton wrist watch on which was engraved: "Presented to Robert Hutcheson by the E. K. Wood Lumber Co., 190G1938." President Warren B. Wood made the presentation. Vice-President Harry F. Vincent made the trip from San Francisco to attend the party.

At the company's annual Christmas part!, held at the Los Angeles office, Friday noon, December 24, J. A. Privett, manager of the Los Angeles and San Pedro operations, on behalf of the employees of the Los Angeles office, presented Mr. Hutcheson with a Thirty-second Degree Masonic ring with a beautiful diamond setting.

Mr. Hutcheson will continue to make his home in Los Angeles. He plans to do some traveling, bnd will also look after his business interests.

Chauncey Griggs of St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma, recently made a trip to Los Angeles on the company's steamer Lake Francis. While in Los Angeles he made his headquarters at the office of Tacoma Lumber Sales, Southern California representatives for his company.

In anticipation of sales increases during 1938 intensified' sales, merchandising and advertising plans, developed during the past year, are being put into efiect at the present time, according to W. M. MacArthur and.L. J. Phillips, Wheeler Osgood vice-presidents. Dealer, builder and architect programs will be released early in the year. The results of the campaign recently conducted featuring the lG Point Sales Plan and the lGPoint Doors have been exceptionally satisfactory and constitute the basis for the current merchandising activities.

The company's new products, Rustic Laminex plywood, All-Weather plywood and the "138" line ol l-3/8" .garage doors will receive special advertising attention. Preliminary tests indicate that the acceptance, of these additions to the line of Wheeler Osgood products, by the trade and by consumers, will be favorable and immediate.

The improvement program just completed at the Tacoma, Washington, factory places the organization in an excellent position to meet today's marketing requirements. Full advantage rvill be taken of the anticipated activity in the remodeling as well as new building markets. The policies of product improvement and development are among the primary considerations irr the company's program and are expected to have an important bearing on 1938 sales.

Industry Head Opposes Lumber Freight Rate Increase

Washington, Dec. 11.-Asserting that a general increase in lumber freight rates now will retard home-building, will reduce lumber tonnage and will in the long run produce less revenue for the railroads, Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, today appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission to ask that body to deny the application of the railroads to sanction a general increase in lumber rates. Speaking for 11 participating groups of lumber manufacturers representing over 90 per cent of the total lumber carried by the railroads, Dr. Compton in his testimony brought out that there had been a substantial and continuing loss of rail lumber traffic during the last 15 years.

Admitting the need of the railroads for increased revenues and a prompt and substantial strengthening of their financial structure and financial q,ondition, Dr. Compton added: "The lumber industry needs more volume just as the railroads need more traffic; and its need is just as acute. The railroads have submitted to you a proposal intended to secure more revenue from lumber traffic. We think it will not do so."

Commenting especially onthe probable effect of such proposed rate increases on building, Dr. Compton called attention to the present Government program to stimulate low-cost housing and pointed out that 87 per cent of all single family houses and nearly 90 per cent of low-cost houses are lumber-built or are of lumber frame construction. Holding that increased freight rates will materially add to the. cost of house construction, he estimated the likely direct increase in lumber costs alone would range between 12 million and 16 million dollars annually on the home-building program recently outlined to Congress by the President.

"The President," he said, "has now called upon Congress for appropriate legislation to facilitate home building of

the very type in which cost is the decisive factor. Likewise, he has called upon the building industries and building labor to implement the nation-wide resumption of home building. A movement by public authority on the one hand in the direction of a general increase in building costs is, we think, scarcely compatible with the movement on the other hand to encourage more building at lower costs. A general increase in costs rvill retard building at the very time when, in the national interest, it ought to be stimulated.

"The President has just addressed Congress in terms of an annual building of 600,000 to 800,000 units. In 1936 were built about 160,000 units, and in 1937 evidently a few more, perhaps 200,000. But in this matter the real problem for the building industries and for the country is the great expansion of home building volume. So far as building materials are concerned, and especially lumber, the principal material for the small home, the real problem is-and I should think it is for the railroads a5 v,'sll-net to collect higher rates on a shrinking volume, but to convert the present 200,000 units of housing into the potential 600,000.

"The railroads have, we think," concluded Dr. Compton, "been generally inclined to regard their lumber traffic as though the lumber industry was only a temporary in.dustry, its timber resources limited and approaching exhaustion, and its products available only in declining volume. Lumber rates based on such a conception seem to us to have fallen far short of fostering a dependable, permanent lumber traffic. Lumber is not a declining industry, nor only a temporary source of traffic. At least, it will not be unless we make it so. The national timber supply is adequate to sustain permanently a volume of lumber traffic more than fifty per cent greater than it is today. There is no lack of producing capacity and in the long run there is no lack of markets for lumber if rve can reach them."

To our many customers and friends among readers of The California Lrumber Merchant we extend best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous 1938.

Rail Construction Begins on San FranciscoOakland B.y Bridse

With the laying of the first Redwood tie by Bridge Engineer C. W. Andrew on November 29, construction began on the double-track interurban rail facilities designed to put the $77,000,000 San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge into full use before the opening of the Golden Gate International Exposition.Work on the railway facilities for the East Bay yards and railroad overhead as 'ivell as for the San Francisco terminal is well under way.

A total of 50,000 individual ties, or nearly 2,7m,W board feet of Redwood, will go into the bridge proper at the rate of one tie a minute on the specially constucted tie-laying machine. Rail service is scheduled to begin by November, 1938.

In addition to the structural grade bridge ties, more than 4,000,000 board feet of other grades of Heart Redrvood rvill be placed in this great structure.

When the last tie is laid early next summer nearly 7,000,000 feet of the heart grades of California Redwood will have been used on the bridge proper, the San Francisco Terminal Loop and the East Bay surface facilities.

UNUSUAL GREETING CARDS

Tom Crain, of The Celotex Corporation, Los Angeles, sent out a novel Christmas greeting card made of Celotex Utility Board, to the dealers.

A friend of his says that some of the dealers are talking of copying the idea when they are getting ready next year to send Christmas cards to their customers. This friend concluded facetiously: "We may yet see lumber dealers send out their greetings otl 2x4's or 2x6's. Now wouldn't that be something?"

A NEW YIDAR WISH

By W. R. Hunt

The sun is just rising on the morning of another day, the first day of a new year. What can I wish that this day, this year, may bring to me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop witti me, but touch me rather; as they pass and gather strength:.

A few friends who understand me, and yet remain my friends.

A work to do which has real value without which the world would feel the poorer.

A return for such work small enough not to tax unduly any one who pays.

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed.

An understanding heart.

A sight of the eternal hills and unresting sea, and of something beautiful the hand of man has made.

A sense of humor and the power to laugh. A little leisure with nothing to do. A few moments of quiet, silent meditation. The sense of the presence of God.

And the patience to wait for the coming of these things, with the wisdom to know them when they come.

UNEXPECTED

A golfer had lost his ball, and not unnaturally, was inclined to be annoyed with his negro caddy. "Why didn't you watch where it went?" he asked angrily. "'Well, sah," said the boy, "it don't usually go nowhar, and so hit took me unprepared like."

And ne'er a word said she.

A VERSE FOR WINTER

By Martha Banning Thomhs

When bare trees rub their knuckles in the cold, And stand forlorn and aching to the grain Of every joint,. and flat-eyed puddles hold A chill, clear light more colorless than rainI shall remember how the clover ran In rowdy mobs along the ragged cliff Up where the slanted, sunny fields began . Wild-carrot, furtive commoner in stiff Queens-lace . . and roses joyously alight With hidden candles burning in their hearts; I shall remember fledgling swallows' fight, Long, long delays, and frantic furried starts For nowhere and that lovely, nameless scent Of salt and lilacs mixed enchantingly; I shall remember when the winter's spent, These things come true for people by the sea.

Negotiations Will Begin on Proposed Reciprocity Trade Agreement

Seattle, Wash., December 27.-Negotiations will begin at once on the proposed Reciprocity Trade Agreement between the United States and Great Britain, according to information received from Washington, D. C., sources by Seattle ofticials of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. In a statement issued today by the Association it was predicted that the position of U. S. lumber will be the pivotal point of negotiations between the two countries.

"We are informed from Washington," the statement declared, "that the preliminary discussions between officials of the two governments have revolved about the question of parity for U. S. lumber with Canadian lumber in the United Kingdom market. This is the largest single lumber market in the world, excepting the United States. Lumber is a major item in Great Britain's economy. During the past three years England has constructed more than a million new homes, a figure far in excess of the new dwellings provided in this country during the same period. Lumber, with cotton and pork, formed the greater part of our exports to the United Kingdom for many years.

"Since the Ottawa Pact of 1932, which accorded Canada and other British Dominions preferential tariffs, American lumber exports to the great lJnited Kingdom market have been all but wiped out. In effect, these tariffs have prohibited trade with the U. S. in all lumber items which Canadian mills are able to supply."

Attention was called by the Association to the importance of the pending negotiations to the whole Northwest, in their relation to the region's payrolls, shipping, rail traffic and general business.

To present the reverse side of the Reciprocity picture, Association officials cited passages from the speech delivered by the Hon. Charles L. McNary, U. S. Senator from Oregon, from the Senate floor on August 10, 1937. Sena-

tor McNary's speech was quoted by the Association as follows:

"The trade agreement with the Dominion of Canada, taking effect January l, L936, gave Canada a reduction of 50 per cent, or $2.00 per thousand board feet, on her lumber exports to the United States. In the case of Douglas fir and West Coast hemlock, the reduction is limited to an annual quota of 250,000,000 board feet.

"The lumber balance sheet of the reciprocal trade policy, in its first year of practical operation, 1936, stood thus: , "American lumber exports declined 33 million feet, or 27/2 per cent.

"American lumber imports increased 218 million feet, or 5O per cent.

"In the case of the woods most largely manufactured in the Pacific Northwest, Douglas fir and West Coast hemlock, the augmented imports during the first year of reciprocity exceeded 100 per cent."

With its statement the Association presented tables which indicate that the U. S. share in the British market for northern Pacific Coast lumber dropped from about 70 per cent in 1928 and 1929 to about 6 per cent in 1935, 1936 and 1937; while the American share in all export markets for northern Pacific Coast woods dropped from 80 per cent in I9D to 32 per cent in 1936.

"The West Coast lumber industry," the Association statement concluded, "is vitally concerned in these negotiations. We have presented briefs and will be represented at the public hearings. Douglas fir lumber is the keystone of whatever treaty may eventuate; and the ultimate success of the Reciprocity program substantially depends on the question of parity for U. S. lumber with Canadian lumber in the United Kingdom market.

While the holiday season is a bonanza for many busillesses, it is as a rule a quiet period for the retail lumber dealers. All of which makes the Palco Wool tie-in with the Christmas season all the more significant. One investment in the home that can be made any time, its underlying theme-greater comfort, provides a natural tie-up when people are thinking about cheery interior,s. The theory behind the advertising shown on this page and which was run by The Pacific Lumber Company in California Arts and Architecture, according to Edric E. Brown, manager, Palco Wool Division of The Pacific Lumber Company, is that it is easier to get results by tieing in with current interests instead of trying to divert from them. Hence the Christmas theme of the Palco Wool ad.

TEXAS LUMBERMAN VISITS COAST

Frank Yochem, commission lumber salesman of San Antonio, Texas, was in Los Angeles for the holiday season. He also visited San Francisco and the Pacific Northwest.

CHRISTMAS IN THE REDWOODS

The Cormorant builds on a ledge by the sea; The Coot, on the bank of a runnel i The Woodpecker hunts for a hole in a tree; The Kingfisher digs him a tunnel.

The Barn-swallow nests in the haunts of the tame; The Grouse, in the brush and the cumber I The Country Ilfouse lives in a Home with a Name; The City Mouse dwells at a Number !

The Bumblebee hives in a hole in the ground; The Wasp has a mansion of paper; The Ant may be found in a neat little mound; The Clothes Moth resides with the draper.

The Rattlesnake camps on the Prairie Dog's claim; The Bat, in the cliff-hollow's umber; The Freeman inhabits a Home with a Name; The Slave, but a House with a Number.

The fleet-footed Caribou rests in the brake; The Mole, at the end of a furrow; The Beaver abides in a hut on the lake; The Woodchuck is warm in a burrow.

Remote from the campfire's flickering flame, The Bear in his cavern may slumber; And you're in the hills in a Home with a NameBut I'm on a street with a Number!

Stephen H, Ross

The last of the famous old "bull bosses" of the California Redwoods is dead. He rvas Stephen H. Ross, 88, rvho at the time of his retirement from The Pacific Lumber Company in 1925, was the olclest active 'rvoodsman in the Redwood region.

Mr. Ross had seen 7l years of rechvood loggiqg, from the bull teams to the modern caterpillar-type tractors, and until his death was just as keenly interested as the day he stepped off the boat in 186'6 from his native Nerv Brunswick. With the passing of the bulls and oxen in 1891, he had turned to bossing men and served out his time as camp boss for the old California Redwood and Excelsior Lumber companies before entering the employ of The Pacific Lumber Company.

Despite his advanced age Mr. Ross had attencled both of the professional logging conferences of the California Redwood Association held in Eureka in 1936 and 1937 and was the guest of honor as the oldest logger attending the 1936 Pacific Logging Congress held in Eureka. He spoke on "My 70 Years of I-ogging" at one of the Congress sessions.

Mr. Ross was buried in Eureka, December 17, with ceremonies conducted by the OdC Fellows lodge. Heis survived by his son, Sheriff Arthur Ross of Humboldt corlnty, four grand-children and two great-grandchildren.
