Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

With every day that passes the conviction seems to grow more pronounced in all circles, everywhere, that we ARE going to have a good year in 1930. Like the first green buds that are already peeping through the bark to show the first signs of spring in the Southland, so rare the signs o{ improved conditions seen everywhere. Little, by little we're going to build a good year out of 1930.

A gentleman told -u ari" J,n* 0", about hearing some men in the smoker of a train talking about ho,uses and homes. They were just a mixed: run of travelers and not interested in buildings, commercially. And one of them said: "The stuff we build houses with isn't like it was in the old days; my fiather's house is forty years old, and as good as the day he built it, from roof to, garret, while my house is ten years old and is already a wreck." And he looked around and queried-3'\A/hy is that ?"

why is,it, Mr. L"*b";;l lo., know as weu as I do that you hear this same thought and sentiment expressed frequently, ,and werywhere. It is bad for this industry of ours. Is it true? If not, what is the answer? YOUR town is well sprinkled with people who believe this same thing that this train philosopher did. Are they wrong, and if so, what are you going to do about it?

That thought that "rr.rio"l tJrr'. *n", it used to be,, is very frequently heard, and generally expressed in terms of specific buildings that haven't stood the test like they did in the old days. It seems to me that this frequently expressed and all too commonly believed sentiment is all wrong, and that the public ought, in some way, to know the truth about it. :t*:f

The answer simply is that you can buy just as good lumber and shingles today as eve,r in the history of the business-perhaps better than ever before. And you can have a house constructed just as well and indeed better than you ever could. The difference is that in the old days they didn't have the many grades and kinds of lumber for sale as we have now; they had o'nly one method of house building and that was the good old-fashioned honest style with heavy dimension, plenty of nails, and no skimping, while today we have every sort of building done from the very best to the very worst; the chief difference beingithat if you buy the kind of lumber and build the kind of house you used to in the old clays they talk so much about, the

price will run so high you'll get mad, call everyone robbers, and refuse to pay it. :F*,k

Today, while you can buy as fine fibqe lumber as ever was cut, and better manufactured and prepared for market than it ever was in the old days, you can also,find stocked high for sale everywhere a lot of lumber that used to stay in the woods. Most of the old buildings you see pointed out as evidence of the fact that "lumber isn't what it used to be," were built of heart lumber from the soundest virgin timber, and the chances are that /the items of construction are much heavier than they would be in the average building of that sort today. That kind of lumber was cheap then. :fi:B*

The answer simply is that lumber of the sort you _used to build with is so much higher in price than it used to be that few peopl! buy it. It's just like beef stealq that used to sell for twelve cents a pound, but doesn't any more. In those old days they bought this high grade lumber, and used plenty of it in their walls. There wef,en't any two-bythrees, or worked-down two-by-fours in those times. And there was nothing heard of these built-for-sale houses we see so much of, whose attractive exteriors cover a muititude of sins in the shape of loW grades, skimpy items, quick construction, and too little of the good and the substantial.

Any good retail lumberl.J trJ.n. united States can seu his customer materials for a home that should outlast and outwear any home of previous decades-IF THE CUSTOMER IS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE OF SUCH MATERIALS. But the days when they knocked down only the straight, sound trees, and took from them only the high grade lumber, and then sold it for a song ARE - days.

GONE. Gone just like every other bargain of those Three dollars bought the best pair of shoes in the store then. What will it buy now? Twenty-five dollars bought a splendidi tailor-made suit then. What will it buy now?

It's the same way with building materials.

*** You can sell them a home that will be sound from roof to garret fiity years from today. But you won't, because they won't pay the price. And it's hard to make them understand that that old-time lumber was full thickness, full width, was selected from the very best wood in the forest, cut from trees that cost next to nothing to begin with, and logged, manufactured, .delivered, and built, by low cost (Continued on Page 8)

labor and mechanics. They can stitl get it if they want it

-but

it costs money.

Probably the best O** *" lrrrnU", business generally has had in many years, is the huge development of the radio industry. And that is one industry in which wood emerged victorious from a clash with metal. ft doesn't often happen. Usually the metal cause is so strongly supported, that it gets the edge, as in the case of airplanes.

They roast and burn people in these metal planes, but they keep right on building them that way. But metal cases for radios fell of their own weight, after some of the biggest radio manufacturers had- filled the market with them.

Music out of a metal case sounds like a tin pan, regardless.

So this season every radio, practically speaking, is being housed in a wooden case, because of the tone, as well as the looks. One single radio manufacturer is turning out several thousand radios daily right now, all housed in Southern Gum. Progressive rrr"rror""a,rirr*or*.r""oos materials keep on producing and boosting trade extension campaigns for lumber dealers in spite of the fact that the large majority of dealers never make use of them. Why? Because experi-

ence has proven to these mandfiacturers that whenever a dealer DOES give fnarket creating work a fair trial, he gets big results, to the lasting benefit of himself and the manufacturer. And, while progress is slow, one by,one the lumber dealers are getting in line. So the manufacturers employ able men to create advertising a4d merchandising "helps for dealers", knowing that every experimenter will become an enthusiast, and that every recruit to the better merchant ranks helps *.Y OJ"tless better.

Last summer some gentleman-most certainly of Ilebraic extraction-issued an order that women's skirts should be a foot longer. Automatically from five to ten million skirts in the United, States became antiques, and had to be replaced. My advice to the faltering lumber industry at this hour of need is-FIND THAT HEBREW AND I{IRE

HrM FoR ouR BUsr*Pr:.

.

Not in the history of civilization has there been a finer demonstration of creating business for an industry than that. He didn't drop them down a bit at a time-like they went up. It's too easy to bring the old styles in line'that way. He just fixed it so that the blind man on the corner could tell the old from the new fashions. And their business got good in a hurry.

State Association Directors

Plans for Promoting Hemlock to be Discussed atTacoma

The board of directors of the Southern District of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association and the secretaries of the Southern California lumbermen's clubs will meet at San Diego on March 1. They have invited the San Diego dealers to have lunch with them.

The directors of the Northern District will meet at San Francisco on March 7. The San Francisco dealers have been invited to have lunch with the directors.

Following up the discussion of West Coast hemlock at the annual meeting, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has been working up a plan to bring hemlock loggers and manufacturers together for the further discussion of common problems.

To this end, a rneeting will be held in Tacoma on Friday, March 7, at the Winthrop Hotel, beginning at 1O a.m., which mills and loggers interested in hemlock- production are urged to attend.

Stanton Promotes and Educates Concerning Wood Paneled Rooms LeRoy H. Stanton

LeRoy H. Stanton coniinues the most interesting and excellent work he has been doing for the past two years in the direction of discovering and promoting newer and more attractive ways of using rvood for interior walls and ceil-

tngs.

Having sold himself and his organization on the wonderful things that can be done with low grade hardwoods for interior woodworking, he is now selling the idea to the trade of Southern California. There is on the wav at the p-resent time a booklet shor,r'ing .ivhat has been done along this line. And he has just issued to the architects of thii territory the following very interesting letter on the same subject: ' "The warm hues of an artistic wood-pagelgd room have an irresistible attraction. The huifr-ah appeal of cabinet woods is as old as history itself. The popular appreciation of fine woodwork has been neatly expressed bt Will Durant, the author-philosopher, in a recent magazine article.

"'I must be an old reactionary for I abominate the hard materials that make our concretl homes and iron beds and

desks to4ay, and I find something organically responsive to my affection in everything made of wood.'

"In our contacts with home-builders and owners lVe have noticed an increasing interest in artistic woodwork. We have felt for some time that such a reaction would surely come. In anticipation therefore, we have been preparing samples of paneling, authentic in inspiration, yet tuned to

modern usage and taste.

"One engaging feature of this new work is the remarkable results obtained with low-grade lumber of various kinds. These relative low-priced woods are perfect for antique interiors when properly handled. We have also devised methods of installation to keep the installed price so reasonable as to make the use of paneling possible in any_ _r_esidence building. There is a style to suit any job.

"We are anxious to show you our results in thls-work and feel that you will be pleajed with them. You will find us always ready to show or ftrrnish samples and estimate costs at your convenience.

"Sincerely yours, "E.J. STANTON & SON, LHS/fsr LeRoy H. Stanton, President"

Western Pine Association Elects

Popular "Smoker" to be

Walter M. Leuthold, president of the Deer Park Lumber Co., Deer Park, Wash., was re-elected president of the Western Pine Manufacturers Association at the annual meeting of the association held at the Davenport Hotel, Spokane, February 4.

Other officers elected were: Walter Neils. T. Neils Lumber Co., Libby, Mont., vice-president; H. K. Brooks, Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co., Bend, Ore., treasurer, and S. V. Fullaway, Jr., Portland, Ore., secretary-manage!.

Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 25.-Last year the Buffalo Hoo Hoo Club staged a rip-roaring "smoker", attested by the 6000 men attending as the most successful in its history. This year-probably about mid-April, anoth,er free "smoker" for carpenters, contractors and other wood users is planned, and L. N. Whissel, who was appointed at a recent meeting of the directors to direct the workers, expects that the pro-gram will be even more constructive and interesting than that of 1929.

Young Forbes Hauptman Christens Namesake 'Forbes Hauptman, four-year-old son of George Hauptman of Los Angeles, had the honor of christening his own namesake, the 8800-ton steamer Forbes Hauptman, a neut addition to the intercoastal fleet of the McCormick Steamship Company, at the McCormick terminals, Wilmington, Calif., Saturday afternoon, March 25, on the vessel's arrival from the Atlantic Cohst on her'first trip in the line's service.

-

The Forbes lfauptman, formerly the Shipping Board f.reighter 'Western Ally, was recently purchased from the Shipping Board and converted into an oil burner. It is rated at 14 knots but will maintain a ZL-day,schedule between Los Angeles llarbor and New York. The Forbes Hauptman inc.reases the McCormick operated fleet to 35 in the intercoastal, coastwise and Pacific-South American service.

Forbes Hauptman and C.'apt. Martin Muhrer

A large delegation, including members of the Los Angeles offices of the McCormick Shipping Company and Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. and many guests attended the ceremony. Following an excellent luncheon that was served on the ship, the christening ceremony took place and rri/hen young Forbes broke the proverbial bottle on the ship's bow, he seemed to get considerable enjoyment over the occasion.

Capt. Martin Muhrer, commodore of the fleet, commands the Forbes Hauptman.

J. P. MURPHY TAKES LEAVE OF ABSENCE J. P. Murphy, manager of the San Francisco branch of the Simonds Saw and Steel Company, is taking an indefinite leave of absence owing to poor health.

U. S. Forest Service Celebrates

f Quarter Century of Progress tA quarter-century of progress and achievement in

the II f J development of forestry and the conservation of the na-

J tion s natural resources was called up for review when

the _Forest Service of the U. S. Departinent of Agriculture \l\ celebrated in February its twenty-fifth anniversary.

On February 1, 1905, the Forest Service was created in its present form through the merging of the old Bureau of Forestry oj the Pep_artment of Agricirlture and the forestry division of the U. S. General Land Office. Although foiestry receiv-ed the attention of the Federal government as early as 1876, it was not until the present Forest Service came. into being that a rounded national policy of forestry was developed and the work began to go forwaia wittr tong-

OAK FLOORING like this has beautilul texture

The texture and pattern of ttPerfecdon' Btand Oak Flooring make possible a finish that is seldom found on any other fooring. You can depend upon ,,perfecdon". In modern plants operated by skilled lumbermen, only the 6nest oak is

selected. After prompt seasoning and kiln-drying, it is perfectly milled and matched so that it lays smooth and stays smooth. It is graded and handled so carefully that upon arrival anywhere, it is always in perfect condition. Leading lumber dealers gladly feature this nationally advertised brand.

range objectives.

In the 25 years of its existence, the U. S. Forest Service has had a colorful history. "O1d-timers,' in the service recall their part in_ bringing to an end the bitter range wars between the cattle men and sheep men over the us6 of the western ranges, the early fights to save'the public forests for the use and benefit_ of the public, and the struggles of former days to establish scientlfic practices and so-u"nd administration on the national forestj in the face of antagonism. The service has_ gone through several bad fire yi"r", among which the holocausts of 1910 and 1929 were outstanding.

In the 25 years Forest Service has developed into an -the organization of 5500 public servants, of which iearlv 27@ are permanently on its rolls, and 2800 are forest goari" e-_ ployed each year during the fire season. The iervice administers as a public property 150 national forests with an aggregate net area of nearly 160,000,000 acres.

In the California district of the Forest Service, the following eleven officers are among the ,,old-timers', who have a record ol 25 or more years of service in government for-

est work:

Iferees il prodr for every fype

PIONEER COPP und, the ultimate cost is Pioneer Copperclad Valley Srips will sell for every type of sloping roof . . . tile, slate,

V/OOD SHINGLES, asbestos or composition shingles .

because every type of sloping roof needs valley strips.

And their ultimate COST IS LESS than other metal valleys!

Offered to lumber dealers less than three months ago, this new product has become one of Pioneerts fastest selling items. It has achieved this phenomenal sale because of two things: First, Pioneer Copperclad Valley Strips take the lumber dealer into markets he has never been able to sell, and second, it is a logical product to sell with every order for roofing material.

During.1929, more than 1810001000 feet of metal valleys were sold, and none of this profitable business went to lumber dealers. This year, the volume will be still gteater . . . and the dealer who stocks Pioneer Copperclad Valley Strips will gain his share of these profits . . . because he will be able to sell every type of sloping roof at a lower ultimate price than other metal valleys!

Pioneer Copperclad Valley Smips are packed in 5o-ft. rclls, 2!/2 inches wide with 9 inches of copper exposed. They can be applied by anyone . . . fit snugly and nail down just like any roofing.

For samples, prices and complete information get in touch with the nearest Pioneer branch office . . . and remember, Pioneer Copperclad Valley Strips are patented and manufactured exclusively on the Pacific Coast by Pioneer Paper Company.

Completely rebuilding the front of their yard and enlarging and remodeling their offices during the past summer, the Century Lumber Comp-any 1g T, ong Beach, Calif., now occupies an up-to-date and attractive home for their business.

The officers of the Century Lumber ComDany are R. E. Hall, president; Chlora V. Hall,.e;'fs-presidint, and M. E.

Downey, secretary-treasurer. j} Befoie coming'to California, Mr. Halltoperated a lumber yard at Hutchinson, Kansas, where he was president of the R. E. Hall Lumber Co., which was organized in I9I4. In 1922, Mr. Hall and Harry Work came to Long Beach and purchased the stock oi the Century Lumbe?

99*p?tty, a- corporation that rvas organi zed, iA 1920 by John W. Fisher of Centerville, Iowa. N{r. Hall became president of the Century Lumber Company, and Mr. Work vice-oresident.

In the fall of 1922, the R. E. Hall Lumber Company at Hutchinson, Kan., was sold and M. E. Downey, who was secretarj'-treasurer of the company, moved to California and with Mr. and Mrs. Chlora V. Hall, they purchased the stock in the Century Lumber Company owned by Harry Work.

In addition to carrying all kinds of lumber, the company handles shingles, lath, sash and doors, and a complete line of building materials, including roofing, wall board, cement, etc. When possible they handle trade and grademarked lumber.

The company inaugurated a profit-sharing policy in 1925 and each of the emplovees are stockholders in the company. They have found that this policy eliminates labor turnover; with twelve emplovees, seven have been with the company over seven years.

The Immediate Future of Hemlock

By George S. Long, Chairrrran of the Executive Committee, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.

Paper Read by Col. W. B. Greeley at the Annual Meeting of the trVest Coast Lumbermen's Ass ociation, Tdcoma, W ash.

The lumbermen in Washington and Oregon are now confronting

a situation pertaining to Hemlock timber and lumber, exactly as did the lumbermen in New York and Pennsylvania 50 years ago. and the lumbermen in Michigan,and Wisconsin 25 years ago-i.e., the lumbermen of these eastern states cut first the most abundant wood, Pine, and as the Pine dininished in quantity, or was exhausted, the neglected Hemlock was manufactured and used quite generally for house and barn building, and hundrecis of other purposes.

plied his customer with dry well seasoned stock, and it was acqept€d without complaint and has proven its worth for nearly a half cen:

tury in Pennsylvania.

We are now introducing a better type of Hemlock, by watef shipments to the Atlantic Coast, green from the saw. By the time it reaches, its destination, it is really in worse condition than when first sawn, for the ordiirary treatment. is for the lumber to be piled down solid, on mill tocks for 30 to 60 days, then loaded in the closed hull of a ship, with no ventilation, nor air currents, for 30"to 40 days, so that by the time the lumber is placed in storage in a retailer's yard, or delivered on the job for immediate use, a positive state of decay has commenced and continues. In the old days when I was connected with the White Pine lumber industry, the lumber was never offered for sale, unless well seasoned, and unlesS we can come back to this sound practice, not only with Hemlock, but also with Fir, we will find our markets dwindling, for we can se.e all around us, everywhere and every day, that the builder today, whether of houses, barns, furniture, feqces, boxes or chicken coops, can get a worthwhile. substitute and at not much added cost.

The manufacturer of Douglas Fir lumber has been handling a

George 5,, Long

In New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Hemlock lumber has been freely used for the past 40 or 50 years, and in Michigan, Wisconsin anad Northern Illinois for more than 25 years. The territory which has not used much, if any Hemlock-the so-called Prairie Stateshas been supplied by the Yellow Pine from the South or from our own Fir mills on the Pacific Coast.

When the use of Hemlock for lumber was first started in' the eastern states, two or three factors existed, which should be noted.

One is that Hemlock did not come into use until the Pine was practically exhausted in that.district. It was practical for the logger, when the woods were intermingled in the forest, to first cud the Pine, and later on, when his market was right, return and cut the Hemlock. We know that this cannot be done in our Pacific Coast logging operations, where the timber is intermingled, from 15 to 40 per cent being Hemlock.

Another factor to note is that the marketing of Hemlock in the €astern states, referred to, was in a nearby territory on low freight rates. The Pacific Coast manufacturers have no such largg consuming territory near at hand, and will have to seek wider markets on high freight rates. The other, and most important factor to be noted, is that the eastern manufacturer of Hemlock lumber sup-

wood in his fir production which will stand more abuse, neglect and careless handling, without apparent deterioration, than almost any other wood in general use. If a Pondosa Pine millman would pile his product down, solid, green from the mill, as the Fir operator does, load it in a ship in this condition, and send it to the Atlantic Coast, it would be ruined ior all possible use. White Pine lumber handled in the same way would depreciite in value more than 50 per cent, so the Fir manufacturer.must realize that he cannot neglect and abuse Hemlock lumber the way he has been doing with Fir and expect to build up a dependable market for it.

Much is said about introducing Hemloik to lumber buyers, and there may be many places in the Mississippi Valley where little is known of Hemlock, but it needs no introduction on the Atlantic Coast, nor in Michigan, \Misconsin, Northern Indiana and Illinois.

What we do not want to do, is to send them green or half-seasoned material. Give the wood a fair chance and not handicap it by the manufacturers' improper treatment. At least 30 per cent of the uncut timber in the State of Washington is Hemlock, and better Hemlock than grew i!' New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin. One-third of the future lumbering in Washington must be in cutting Hemlock. If practices continue as they have for several years, in forcing Hemlock on the market green and unfit for use, we will have no market for it at all.

Twenty or twenty-five y€ars ago, the Gum tree in the southern states had no value, because when manufactured into lumber, no attempt was made to properly season the lumber, and it could not bc used. Today it has a value equal to the best Yellow Pine, because

it is properly manufactured-thoroughly seasoned and cared for

and commands a steady demand at profitable prices. I woutd not be surprised that il properly handled, in every way, Ifemlock grade for grade, will yield a higher average selling priie than Fir, especially on shipmelts by rail.

To summarize I am free to say that the main job\ to be done, in order to give Hemlock lumber its proper place, is to see to it that before it reaches the retailer or the consumer, it is thoroughly seasoned. Next in importance is for the manufacturer, himself, not to look upon Hemlock lumber as an "Orphan Annig" but a high grade, dignified member of the Softwood Industry.

National Forest Receipts Increase Receipts from National Forest activities in the last six months of l9D gained nearly l0 per cent over the same period in 1928, the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture announces.

The nine National Forest Districts received a net total of. $3,245,164.03 from timber sales, grazing fees, and other forest uses during the period-an increase of $316,053.98.

Sale of timber to be cut under Forest Service suoervision yielded $2,405,829.I7, nearly three-fourths of the total receipts. Nearly one and one-half billion board feet of timber is now being cut annually on the National Forests or a little over 3 per cent of the total cut for the country. The present cut could be materially increased without overcutting the sustained annual yieid, says the Forest Service, but for economic reasons it is not the policy to force National Forest timber on the market. Largi sales of National Forest timber are made (1) to enible established mills to continue operation, stabilizing communities dependent on them; (2) to prevent depreciation in value of government timber; (3) to aid development of regions or communities by.the establishment of industries ind transpor. tation facilities.

Receipts from grazing amounted to $625,267.99, an increas.e_of nearly $75,000 over the same half-year ol 1928.

Special use and water porver permits brought in $120,168.64 ?nd $58.042, respectively, increases of EZ+,Zlt,SZ and

$4.431.20.

The California district, which includes the 18 National Forests of California and Southwestern Nevada. had the largest receipts-$924,830.36, or more than one-fourth of the total. The North Pacific district, comprising WashtlSton and.Oregon, followd with g6361622.28. Th"e Rocky Mountain district had receipts totaling g446,916.42; the Intermountain, $334,645.25 ; the Northirn, EISZZ,ZZd,.79 ; tt-re Southwestern, 9276,154.71 ; the Eastern, g229,445.75'; the $]nk: d_istrict, $43,375.57; and the Lake States disirict,

$23,350.90.

Twenty-five per cent of National Forest receipts is turned over each fiscal year to the state for distribution to counties in which the Federal forests are located, in lieu of taxes, for road building and school development. An additionat 1d per.cent is also expended by the Forest Service on roads and trails within the counties.

Wood Trestle Approaches Used on Longview, Washington Bridge

Trestle Approach to Washington Side of Columbia Riaer Longaiezu Bridge

/ Y

' Although much publicity has been given to the mammoth

steel bridge nearing completion at Longview, Wash., little mention has been made of one of its most striking features, the wooden approaches.

T!_ege.approaches extend for approximately 2615 feet on _

the Washington side, and 1755 feet on the Oregon side of the river, and rise at the river's edge to a height of 151.3 feet above the water's level. The main structure is of l2xl2 timbers with deck out of 2x6 laminated lumber. The roadway is 27 |eet wide rvith 3-foot walks on each side, includlng necessary guard rails. Douglas Fir has been used throu-ghout, all of it being.manufacturered at Longview.

The foundations for the approaches are cedar piling, iriven into the_-ground to a penetration of 30 to 40 feet, *f,ich prevents all rotting and decay. The post caps are lZxl4 iimber. The bull rails anC l-rand rails are of extra heavy construction.

The amount of timber in the trestle is as follows: Board Ft. Frame Bents . .1.000.000 Bracing betrveen bents .

Not only does the new highway represent a link of steel across the main channel of the Columbia River plus the wooden approaches above mentioned. but it was nicessary to link in about 1000 feet of concrete road on the Washington end to connect with existing streets in Longview. AlJo on the Oregon side about 4300 feet of concrete to tie in with the Columbia River Highway near Rainier.

Even though, a great tonnage of steel was tised a large amount of lumber s'as reqnired, which included forms for concrete and 1,70O,000 feet of lumber for false work for steel construction. This rvas on top of 393 piles driven to the river bed on which the false work timbers were erected. This job in itself was a most unusual one on account of the great length, height, and rveight that had to be borne.

OUR PROSPERITY There has never been less poverty in any land at any time than in this land today., Never before have so many people lived as well as we live. And this is because, with all our getting, we have been gettng understanding. We have found that good wages make good business-make the wheels of commerce go round; that funds well spent for public improvements return to us with added benefits; that the Golden Rule works in business disguised as the Square Deal. As the years come and go the world grours better. One. by one it is breaking the shackles of gieat evils which have bound it for ages. The next one, that lrill go is war.-Cappers.

First Census of Forests Ever Undertaken Washington, D. C., Feb. 13.-Timberland owners, private cruising firms and all others who have information concerning t-he forests of America are urged by the Federal government to give assistance when called upon by members of the Forest Service who are making a nation-'rvide survey of the timber resources of the nation' It is the first stock-taking of the forests in the history of the country.

Heretofore-all figures of total forest resources have been

TripleSheeth The AbsolutelY Waterproof

estimates.

This is a fact-finding survey, designed to show as accurately as possible an exact picture of the timber situation in the United States-the total stand, the annual depletion from cutting, fire, insects and disease; also the present and probable growth, and the present and future requirements lor wood. Heretofore discussions of the forestry problem have been more or less academic, because the premises were not definite.

Congress authorized this survey when it enacted into larv the McSweeney-McNary bill, May 22, 1928. The present appropriation for carrying on, the work is so small6.110 of a cent per acre-that it is not posapproximitely 'sible for the service to make an actual cruise of the tir-nber and reliance must be placed upon the testimony of timberland owners, supplemented rvhere possible by county fecords.

C. M. Granger, Director, Forest Survey, is in charge of the work and he plans to attack the problem by concentrating his men in regional districts. , At present thi-s_ intensivi work is being done in the Pacific Northwest. Next summer work will iommence in the hardwood region of the Mississippi basin.

The survey of the nation rvill not be completed until 194O-1942 unless a larger appropriation be made. However, reports ol results in rigionil districts rvill be made public as^ rapidly as they can be tabulated, and it is the hope of officials in the Forest Service that these regional reports will prove of such value that the Congress will increase the appropriation; in which event the complete picture of the nation's timber assets and liabilities rvill be presented in a bhorter time.

It is pointed out that the success of this survey depends upon the co-operation given by timberland owners and others whose assistance is asked and it rests with them to enable the Forest Service to make presentments that will warrant Congress granting additional appropriations and thus expediting the work.

Mr. John Todd of The Western Door and Sash Company There is probably no betier known or better liked man in the building industry than genial John Todd,'the president of the Western Door and Sash Company, Oakland.

His. experience extends over a number of years and during the fifteen years since he established the above cbncern, John has visited the trade regularly, aqd to his efrorts and personality are due in a large measure, the success that has beenrbuilt up, and the

continuous growth of the business.

The territory covered by the Western Door and Sash Company extends practically from the Tehachapi to the northern border of California, so that Mr. Todd is kept busy calling on his customers and prospects.

In the past few years not only has this territory been extended, but tbe company has added many lines to its business, and they now cary an increased stock of doors and panels of every description and among specialties stock the products of such firms as Bufrelen Mfg. Co., Oregon and Philippine doors; Wheeler Osgood Company's laminex doors and Scotchman g.rrage doors; Cadwalladcr-Gibson Company's Bagac doors and the Blue Ridge Glass Corporation rolled glass.

They have started upon a compreh,ensive campaign of advertising for the present year, which will, undoubtedly, serve to further increase their business.

San Francisco to Los Angeles February 21, making the trip in one of the Western Air Express tri-motored l2-passenger Fokkers, rvhich leaves San Francisco at 5:10 p. m. and arrives at Los Angeles three hours later.

Coos Bay Lumber Company Issues Report H. W. Bunker, president of the Coos Bay Lumber Company, in a report to the stockholders of the compan)r on February 10, gave a statement of the assets and liabilities of the company as at December 31, 1929. The report also included their certification of profit and loss from operations during the year I9D. The report states in part: "Preferred stock amounting to $I,593,925 has been redeemed during the year at par. The stated value of the common stock has been incieased by the sum ol $4,462,990 and capital surplus correspondingly reduced. Amendments to the articles of incorporation have been made -to reduce the.authorized capital stock of the company to 47; 817fu sharcs of preferred stock of $100 par value and 63,757 shares of common stock without par value.

"The company produced 1L4,03t,620 feet of logs frl?m r_ts orvn camps and purchased69,677,508 feet. It sold 4,799,M feet of Pbrt Orfbrd cedar logs and sawed 181,985,000 feet of Douglas fir and other species in its mill at Marshfield, ' Ore. Lumber, lath and shingles manufactured was equivalent to 211,591,000 feet, of rvhich 35,537,533 feet 'ivas shipped to foreign markets, 74,114,200 feet to Southern California, 2,N2,817 f.eet locally or by rail from Marshfield, and 99,736,450 feet to its plant at Bay Point, Calif. Fonr hundred and twenty carloads were shipped East by rail from Bay Point after remanufacture.

"Conditions in the industry have been highly demoralized since the middle ol 1929, and markets have constantly been in an oversold condition. Yet ouf shipments were in excess of production, and after depreciation, taxes, interest, carrying charges on non-operating properties, etc., a final net credit of. $2I7,196.75 was carried to surplus.

"Operating facilities and equipment have been efficiently maintained; $710,500.87 was expended for additions and improvements during the year, divided as follows: Marshfield manufacturing, $2@,512.11; Bay Point manufacturing, $139,557.19; Logging, $143,192.65; Railway, $2L8,238.92.

The effect of these expenditures is being reflected by better manufactured products and decreasing costs.

"The management has now completely segregated operating from non-operating properties, and as a result the latter are shown on the balance sheet as having a present aggregate book value of $1,018,649.28. These assets consist of industrial property at Bay Point, Calif., and Marshfield, Ore., together with various tracts of timber and logged oft land, mineral rights, etc., in Oregon. Sales of this nonoperating property are constantly being negotiated and we believe that in due course it can be liquidbted for a very substantial portion of its present book value.

"The company is operating its salvmill 48 hours a rveek, and its other facilities accordingly. Its capacity is approximately 600,000 feet of lumber, lath and shingles daily, as a result of the additions and improvements above mentioned, and it is anticipated that this €-hour weekly schedule will be maintained constantly throughout 1930. Your management is confident that, due to lower logging and manufacturing costs, plus aggressive marketing, a satisfactory earning power can be demonstrated in 1930, notwithstanding depressed conditions."

W. H. FISHBURN IN LOS ANGEL,ES W. H. Fishburn, superintendent of manufacture for the McCloud River Lumber Company at McCloud, has returned to his headquarters after spending a week in Southern California with the company's representative, L. S. Turnbull, looking over this territory.
