Practically All Boats in Coastwise Lumber Trade Still Tied Up

There is no change in the coastwise steam lumber schoonet situation and no prospect of an eady settlement is in sight. The Shipormers Association of the Pacific Coast on January 29 rqotted, thet 64 coastwise vessels are tied up owing to labor troubles. Four veesels were operating, one of which is expocted to tie up.

The elfect of the tie-up is refected in lumber cargo arrivals at Celifo{rda po,rts. Lumber receipts at Los Angeles harbor for the week ended J.r"u"ry 25 totaled, 4rr54rOOO feet; the week pnevious the receipts were otrly 21596rOO0 f,eet.

Vith coasrwise tonnage practically all tied up, the Califotnia cargo business is being diverted to rail. Orego,n Fir mills have the biggest orde.t files they have had in a long time. Fir rail shipments are coming in frcely to all sections of the state; a Large amoutrt of common has alteady moved into Southern California by rail, and shipmeots of uppers are heavy. Fir commons are up $2.OO to 14.00 in the last three weeks, and the advance on uppenr is about the same. Scarcity and the increasing pdce of Fir clears ig due to shortage of [ogs, and to the ailrca& comlrg into the market for V.G. car siding and car decking. The Red Cedar shingle market is not as strong as two weeks ago.

Eastern and Vestern volume of Redwood orders is holding up. Operating mills are maintaining the increased production recently put into elfect. Slight progress is being made on dry stocks. California shipments are being made by rail on ac. count of the coastwise chipping tie-up.

Redwood shingle prices ale firm and the demand is active. Mills are operating full blast and taking care of their orders. There has been no increase*in

New business boofred at the lumber mills during the week ended January lE was heavier than any previous week since April; production was less than any, ercept holiday weeks, since June; shipments from the mills were heavier than in any of rhe preceding six weeks, according to re.ports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from tcgional associations covering opef,ations of leading hardwood and softwood mills.

Duting the week ended January 18, 547 mills produced 184,329rOO0 feet of hardwood and softwood combined; shipped 178,481,000 feet; and booked

of 231,091,000 feet.

New business reported to the Vest Coast Lumberments Association for the week ended J^nu ry 18 by 201 mills was 117,611999 feet as against a production of 97,8131929 feet, and shipments of 79,8691153 f.eet.

The Association reports that the increase in sales of 4r000r000 feet the week ending January 18 over the total in the previous week represents 3l per cent and was entirely the result of more buying for delivery to the Vest, Central States and East fo'r shipment by railroad. Chiefy, this movement will be to retail yards and to fill in stoctcs in anticipation of spring demand and use.

As more than 60 per cent of the lumber of the West Coast industry normally moves by water to its market, the immediate future of the industry rests on whether or not water transportetion will be available to serve Califomia and the Atlantic Coast during the coming sixty to ninety days. Should the water strike movement grow and reduce seriously the movement of Atlantic Co"ast shipmeflts, as has occrrred in the Califo,rnia trade, it is only a question of time until the waterfront mills would have to close and so automatically withdraw also from the foreign trade.

The Vestern Pine Association for the week ended January 18, 108 mills re?orting, gave orders as 53r7O4rOO0 feet, shipments 44r8r5rOOO feet, and productiotr 29r377rOOO f.eet. Orders were 82.8 per _c-ent above productiotr and, 19.7 per cent a6ove shipqlgnts. Shipments wete 52.6 per cent above production. Unfilled orders on hand at the end of the week-totaled. 1991016rooo feet'

The California Redwood Association reported production of 12 mills for the week ended January lg e;71469,000 feet, shipments 5rO5Or0(X) feet, and new business 5,628,OO0 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week were 37,438.000 feet.

J. Walter Kelly announces his resignation as general manager of the Consolidated Lumber Co., Wilmington. He plans to re-enter the wholesale lumber business.

Opens Los Ang eles Olfice

B. S. Galleher has opened offices at 438 Chamber of Commerce Building, Los Angeles, where he is carrying on a wholesale hardwood lumber and flooring business under the name of the Galleher Company.

Redwood Exhibit at Baltimore Housing Show

The attractive exhibit of the California Redwood Association at the Federal Housing Show held in Baltimore, Maryland, January 4 to 11, drew much favorable comment from visitors to the show. The attendance numbered about 45,000.

The accompanying illustration shows the Association booth. This was of modernistic design. The sidewalls were made up of 1x20 inch boards, staggered so that a light concealed behind each board reflected over the face of the board immediately back of it. Lights placed behind each letter of the sign produced an unusual effect.

On the wide board was placed a picture of the house

Immediately across from the booth on a space that was unsold a Redwood Log Cabin was erected, and on another space a cross section of a Redwood log was placed. Each of these additional exhibits attracted a good deal of attention.

H. A. Alston of The Pacific Lumber Company, who 'ivas in charge of the exhibit, reports that a 2S-cent charge was made for admission, and that this naturally kept out the type of people who attend exhibits of this nature through mere curiosity.

Now Associated with D. H' Doud

Starting February 1, R. E. (Ed) Fountain, who was for many years Retail Sales Manager of Consolidated Lumber Co., Los Angeles, will become associated with D. H' Doud, who has recently returned to Southern California as exclusive Sales Representative of the Anderson & Middleton Lumber Co.; Polson Lumber and Shingle Co.; Polson Mill Co., and Hart Mill Co.

Many dealers will recall that Mr. Fountain spent several years in the rvholesale department of the Consolidated Lumber Co. before he became Retail Sales Manager.

The above group of mills have made definite arrangements to operate two steam schooners, the S.S. "Quinault" and the S.S. "Claremont". These vessels will be in operation immediately following the settlement of the present seamen's strike.

and in January lst, 1916, twenty years self quoting Woodrow Wilson, then United States. He was giving people running to Washington for help, aid, said: "You do not need W enough in this country to master world. When I hear Americans by authority, I WONDER BORN. I wonder how long

years ago found myof the Hades for assistance. He There is genius enterprise of the to be assisted ERE, THEY WERE have breathed the air of America. I wonder naturalization are." their papers of spiritual

I agreed with that opinion then. I still do. I{owever, at that time it was a popular sentiment. It had been since 1776. Right now those kind of sentiments would be as popular at Washington as a skunk at a lawn party.

Last week two Englis;; :aa who made the front pages. They were King George, and Rudyard Kipling. The world joins Britain in mourning her late King. The files of the newspapers are given over to his life, and to his successors. Kipling waxes small by comparison. Never in history did two men die so close together whose lives give us more to think about.

As kings go, George -:. : "l"tt -or"rch. There was no meanness in him. He was steady, dependable, likable, tolerant, courageous. That's a whole lot to be said of any man. He was colorless, of course. He said nothing, did nothing, as far as we know he thought nothing, that will make any mark on history. In all his life he made fewer dramatic and vital decisions with regard to Britain than the President of the United States has to make every morning before breakfast. But he was a good guy, and the world is right in praising him.

He was, of course, o"; ," ol, ,"0. "The divine right of kings" made him monarch of all Britain. Had he been born in the same strata of society as was Kipling, what do

And think of that other man, Kipling. No divine right rnade him king. But he was more than any king has ever been; he was genius unquestionable; a flaming mentality that wrotes its mark so high and so definite on the scroll of time, that it will never be erased. God touched him with that brush of genius. King George died and became irnmortal. Kipling became immortal long before his death. God not only gave him immortality, but bequeathed to hi.m the right to delegate immortality. Will the characlers he built, the songs he sang, the stirring philosophies he penned, the mighty patriotism he painted ever die, tfiinlr You? *

As long as Britain lives-yes and perhaps long afterward-as long as the English tongue is spoken, the words, the characters, the songs, the philosophies of Kipling will remain deeply imprinted in the minds and upon the literature of mankind. A thousand years hence, when the passing of Kipling's own soul has been long forgotten, men will sit with lumps in their throats as they listen to that mighty song of the passing of the soul of Danny Deever, who was hangin' in the mornin', *:t*

Will Mulvaney ever die? He who was had been a corporal, but was rejuced? Will the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady, and their proclaimed under-skin sisterhood, ever cease to be? Will the time ever come, think you, when the devotion of that Lazarooshian leather Gunga Din will cease to be solace to the souls of men? .WiU Britain ever cease to spring to attention at "Oh, God of Hosts be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget" ? Will the Eton school boy's rallying cry, "Play up, play up, and play the game," ever be forgotten? Will the Road to Mandalay ever be less a thoroughfare of romance and of sentiment than it is today?

,F r& {<

ft seems almost a crime to single out a few from the wealth of immortality he has left us as a heritage. Personally I enjoy his writings more than those of any other poet that ever drew the breath of life. f do not ascribe to him the measureless genius of that mighty ocean of thought whom men call Shakespeare; but I enjoy him

We ought to have a "Read Kipling" year, the world over. We should read again, and learn again, and live again in the companionship of his imrnortal characters and words. One of the sweetest things he ever wrote was the introduction to "The Seven Seas," in which he apologizes for stealing stories. "When 'Omer tuned his bloomin' lyre,', he said, "'eed 'eard men sing by land and sea, and what 'ee thought 'ee might require, 'ee went an' took, the same as me. They knowed 'ee stole. 'ee knew they knowed. They didn't cry or make a fuss. Just winked at 'Omer up the road. An"ee winked back, the same as us." (From memory.'Scuse errors.) ***

Kings will come and kings will go. The divine right to rule will continue to be one of the Old World's choice superstitions. Let us hope that so long as there must be kings there will be many as good as the late King George.

But there will be no more Rudyard Kipling's to brighten and enthuse and entertain and inspire faltering men. Let us be grateful, therefore, that his thoughts and his words and the men and women who flame across his pages, are left behind as OUR heritage, immortalized by his genius, utterly indestructible. *+*

A tribute to Kipling in a business journal should properly

And the wolf that shall keep And the wolf that shall will prosper, it will die. As the creeper encircles tree-trunk, and back, The law runneth That the strength of pack-is the wolf, And the stren the wolf-is the pack."

Wood Replaces Leather

A new use for wood has been discovered by Chris. M. Wininger, manager and owner of the Pyramid Lumber Sales Co., Oakland. So enthusiastic about wood is he that he has a wooden bound catalogue containing all his price lists. The wood used by Mr. Wininger for the catalogue cover is bird's-eye maple plywood, and he has made a nice job of it. He says it is light, substantial, doesn't scufi nor scar, and is easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

Much Port Orford Cedar Used For lrrigation Structures

Good rains in Northern California have been welcomed by irrigators, and these have evidently stimulated water users to renew and extend their plants, according to James L. Hall, San Francisco, agent for Smith Wood-Products, Inc., who reports having received orders for several hundred thousand feet of Port Orford Cedar for use in flumes, dams and similar construction.

This wood, because of its strength, impact and rot-resisting qualities, is most highly regarded by water engineers for this type of work, Mr. Hall says.

Lumbcrjack Holds Checlc 45 Years Belore Cashing lt

When a lumberjack holds his time ,check 45 years before cashing it, that is news for in the bully days of the '9(ls wages were spent immediately, noisily and violently.

Andrew Stokke had worked in a logging camp of The Red River Lumber Company on the Clearwater River in Minnesota and in December, 1890 presented a time 'check for $11.96 at the Company's ofiice in Crookston' He was told that the slip would have to be sent to the Minneapolis office for payment and, as he rvas going to the city, he decided to take it with him. For some reason he forgot to do so.

In 1906 Mr. Stokke went west to British Columbia where he has since been employed by the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company as a cruiser with his present address Webster Corners, B. C. This winter he made his first trip east and in going through some old papers at Carleton, Minn., discovered the check which he mailed to the office of The Red River Lumber Company at Westwood, California. He wrote that he valued the check as a relic and was sending it in to recall the old days. If it was not payable he intended to frame it.

. The Red River Lumber Company made payment through a. c.heck sent to the office of J. J. Opsahl Company at Duluth to be presented personally to Mr. Stokke. J. J. Opsahl is the father of Leo G. Opsahl of Westwood, Sales Manager of The Red River Lumber Company. Roy Opsahl writes that Mr. Stokke is a youthful looking bachelor of 68 who recalls that his sawing partner on the Clearwater was named John Olsen and the Foreman was called Dave. R. F. Pray, executive at Westwood, identified the foreman as Dave Carr who died in 1911, and the signer of the check, J. C. Sheasgreen, as an employee of the old Paul Bunyan days.

35-Year Old Salvaged Maple Flooring Re-used in New California Schools

Old flooring remanulactureil into blocks on machines shipped to Calilorna from Memphis,

Stories of the great durability of maple flooring are numerous. Countless times it has outworn the buildings in which installed, stood up in places where concrete and other similar materials would not. But the story of the salvaging of the maple flooring in the Long Beach, California, schools is so incredible that the photographer was called on to prove it. So, as you read on, let the pictures show you exactly what happened.

About two years ago a program was started to rebuild all school buildings in the Long Beach City School District. This meant that 60 buildings in 35 units were to be torn to the ground and modern, earthquake-resistant structures erected. Naturally it was almost inconceivable that the flooring in the old buildings could possibly be re-used. However, the original specifications for most of these buildings had included Northern Hard Maple Flooring, and on examination revealed that this flooring remained in excellent shape, despite the fact that it was from 5 to

ctose up aiew ol *"":Jtl:o"n f::l:r.o'o'n floors tai'd' in 35 years old and had been subjected to the constant wear and tear of many millions of footsteps.

At the time of the dismantling of the old buildings, this flooring, which had been installed by nailing, was torn up with crowbars and the nails pulled out. It was piled in the open and allowed to remain there, exposed to the elements, for months before a decision was reached as to what would be done with it. It was obvious that this flooring was far from being worn out, but the problem was how to relay it into smooth, presentable floors that would be in keeping with the magnificent new buildings. Incidentally, in some of these structures which had concrete sub-floors, it was impractical to attempt to relay the flooring by nailing.

The architects on the schools knew that Bruce Maple Blocks were the ideal type of flooring for schools, being easily laid in mastic over concrete or wood sub-floors and providing a warm, sanitary and resilient floor. But it was

At this point the Los Angeles representative of E. L' Bruce Co. made the suggestion that an entire block manufacturing unit could be shipped from Memphis to Long Beach and transformation of the old strip flooring into new blocks could be handled "on location," as they say in California. This was done.

BACK FROM NORTHWEST

Floyd W. Elliott, manager of the San Francisco office of Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co., and Chas. T. Gartin, salesman for the company, have returned from a tenday trip to the head office at Montesano and the mill at Aberdeen. Wash.

The "nent" or made-ooer blocks were instal'led by layins in mastic.

In six months' time, most of this maple flooring has been salvaged, remanufactured into approximately 400.000 ft. of Bruce Blocks and installed in the new buildings. To look at these floors, most people would think they were new, as you will see from the picture at the right. The architects on these jobs and the officials of the Long Beach City School District are more than gratified with the results.

New Machine Makes Buckle Proof \(/ood Lath

A new invention to the lumber industry is the Buckle Proof Lath Machine and its produ,ct, buckle proof wood lath. Ed Westberg of Los Angeles, Calif., who is recognized as one of the largest plaster contractors on the West Coast for the past twenty-five years, and who has used millions of lath in his business, with the help of H. H. Hathaway, has developed a machine that will process a bu,ckle proof lath.

The machine was placed in operation and approximately 3,000,000 buckle proof lath have been used in Los Angeles without one complaint or report of trouble on the job. The product became so well known that dealers began asking Mr. Westberg to furnish them with these lath.

Seeing the possibilities of this new type of wood lath a'company was incorporated under the laws of California to manufacture the machine. The officers are Ed Westberg, President; Charles l-.arazeler, Vice President; Hans Westberg, Secretary; and H. N. Mottern, Treasurer. The omces of the company are at 611 North Alvarado Street, Los Angeles.

Among the advantages of the buckle proof wood lath, the company states, they will not warp, twist or buckle; will absorb enough water to make them 100 per cent usable regardless of age or dryness; will not change in any way whatever, due to climati'c changes or if left to remain in the open, and they can be stored indefinitely.

The Buckle Proof Lath Machine is a small unit of maclrinery that can be installed in any mill or lumber yard, and operation in a lumber mill can be started without any changes in existing machinery. It is a sturdy portable machine, electrically driven; simple in operation; capable of processing between fifty and sixty thousand lath per day; cuts the graiir in the lath without materially weakening it, ibut sufficient to prevent warping or buckling. It will process both No. 1 and No. 2 la'th, and can be pro,cessed at the same time the lath is turned out. Buckle proof lath is fully covered and protected by U. S. patents.

The Buckle Proof Lath Co. will not sell the machines, but will lease them on a royalty, which will permit any lath manufacturer to install them on a profitable basis.

The ,company announ,ces that one of the machines has been shipped to the C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation at Toledo, Oregon, whi,ch will be the first mill in the North- ' west to get out the buckle proof wood lath.

Celotex Launches Bis Merchandising Program

The largest merchandising and advertising program since 1929 was launched by The Celotex Corporation at the opening of its annual sales convention in New Orleans on January 3rd. More than 200 executives, salesmen and representatives of the company's two advertising agencies attended the six-day meeting at which the 1936 program was discussed.

Prime points of the Celotex program, announced by Harold Knapp, General Sales Manag'er, are:

1. A greater advertising campaign, both in general publications and homes, farm, architectural, building trades, restaurant, school, store, hospital, theater, church and business magazines.

2, Direct mail campaigns, which will run throughout the year, to architects, building contractors, plastering contractors, school and hospital boards and government purchasing agents.

3. A complete new library of more than 150 pieces of Celotex literature covering the uses of Celotex products in every field.

4. The company's army of field representatives, expanded with the gain in building activity last year, has been further augmented so that dealers may be served in a manner commensurate with the greater gains anticipated this year.

5. The traveling Celotex exhibits, which played such a large part in helping dealers capitalize on the 1935 market, will be broadened in scope and number this year to include, for the dealer's benefit, the promotion of all Celotex products.

6. The company is also undertaking a more intensive program of publicity, in line with the efforts of the Federal Housing Administration, to stimulate interest in new construction and in the repair and impl:ovement of existing structures.

"The total effect of the 1936 program," stated Mr. Knapp, "is to add power to the traditional Celotex merchandising policy, which has been in force since 1921-that our job

is not finished when our products are delivered to our dealers, but only when they are sold to the ultimate consumer.

"To make this policy as effective as possible, the company has retained two advertising agencies, the United States Advertising Corporation to handle general advertising, and the Hays MacFarland Company as advertising, sales and merchandising counsel."

The strong position of The Celotex Corporation, which makes possible the carrying out of the enlarged 1936 program, was discussed by President Bror G. Dahlberg, who forecast great advances in building and g{eater profit opportunities for Celotex dealers.

"The first goal of the Celotex program," according to Mr. Knapp, "will be the new home market which, after a sixyear decline has turned upward and promises a rapid rise through 1936.

"The vast dimensions of this market are indicated by the statement made at the convention by Ward Canaday, head of the United States Advertising Corporation, that the erection of 700,000 homes a year for 10 years is needed to meet the housing need.

"A greater effort will be made to secure for dealers the maximum return from the modernizing market, both in commercial buildings and homes.

Impovements in the company's products, new products and the expansion of uses and markets for Celotex, which is entailing the expenditure of three-quarters of a million dollars on the company's plant at Marrero, La., were announced by T. B. Munroe, Vice President in charge of research and development.

Among the new products now available for distribution by Celotex dealers is Flexcell, a type of specially treated Celotex used for expansion joints in pavements, sidewalks and roofs, and for similar purposes. Since its introduction, Flexcell has been used on many important jobs, including the $77,000,000 San Francisco-Oakland bridge and on Rockefeller Center job.

Makes Plans For Profttable Digtribution A. H. Silligo Appointed Manager

By R*ailers, of Hardwood

Flooring

Perfection Oak Flooring Co., manufacturers and distributors of "Frostbrand" Oak Flooring, celebrated their removal to their .newly purchased permanent location at 820 East 6oth Street, Los Angeles, by a very large increase in their January business over January, 1935, according to B. W. Klug, manager, who says: "January started out well. Our business for the month will far exceed that of a year ago, and the future looks very encouraging as far as we can determine.

"We believe that the retail lumber yard is the natural source through which hardwood flooring should be distributed. All our plans are made to carrjr out a program which will enable the retail yards to distribute hardwood flooring profitably.

"We need the cooperation of the yards to put this prog'ram over, and if we get this cooperation we are certain that many yards which do not sell any hardwood flooring at present will in the not distant future be handling it as one of their regular lines."

This firm is carrying for the convenience of retail yards a stock of nearly a million feet in 6O difierent sizes. All of this stock is carried on one floor, and facilities at the new plant for quick loading service are excellent.
