"Sugar Pine-lts Propertias, Uses and Grades"

Portland, Ore., Feb. 15.-In the series of publications prepared and distributed by the Western Pine Association a new book has recently been released under the title, "Sugar Pine-Its Properties, lJses and Grades." This book on Sugar Pine is a fitting companion to the books dealing with Ponderosa Pine and Idaho White Pine, completing the triad of publications on these important species.

It is a booklet designed for information' and convenient reference, of 52 pages, size 8fxll inches, with attractive pa.per covers. The text is a clear, authentic exposition of the subject matter and presents essential information pertaining to the wood, its products and utilization, in a comprehensive manner. In logical order the contents deal with important phases of the subject, especially the botanical classification of the species; timber supply and production of Sugar Pine lumber; manufacture, seasoning and grading; characteristics and properties of the wood; recommendations for specific uses; and descriptions of the current standard grades.

The book is notable for its many fine illustrations, with a frontispiece showing an artistic reduced portrait sketch of David Douglas, the noted naturalist who discovered the lordly Sugar Pine species and named it Pinus lambertiana. The other illustrations are from photographic cuts depicting timber and mill scenes; views showing typical installations and uses for which the wood is particularly adapted; and finally, a set of clear, authentic pictures illustrating typical examples of the grades of lumber that are described in the text.

The cover designs are rather unique and decorative. The background consists of a lithographed facsimile of the surfaces of actual Sugar Pine boards, showing the grain and figure, with characteristic marking and natural color of the wood, in a very realistic way. All in all it is a fine specimen of typography and worthy ol a permanent place in the bibliography pertaining to American forest products and their utilization. From the first printing the Western Pine Association is sending several thousand cqpies direct to established architectural firms, and state and federal procurement officers. The booklet will be particularly helpful to individuals engaged in the specification, purchase or sale of lumber.

The Association member mills, through their sales offices, are supplying copies to their dealers, wholesalers and salesmen. Others are purchasing single copies or quantity lots direct from the Western Pine Association, Yeon Bldg., Portland, Ore.
