Tr^-tt' Lrumber Lrooks

There has been no change in the lumber market in the last two weeks. Douglas fir, Pine and Redwood mill prices for uppers, boards and dimension continue firm. Fir lath and Red Cedar shingle prices are about the same.

Portland, Oregon, February lI, I947-Booming lumber production during January in the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington indicates that 1947's total production will reach or exceed previous estimates, H. E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.

Smith said January's average weekly production of t16,786,O00 board feet was 12.4 per cent greater than the average for January, 1946, and more than 2,500,000 board feet in excess of the figure named in earlier predictions.

"This very favorable production figure suggests that the year's output of lumber may go beyond 6,500,000,000 board feet, which is 500,000,000 feet above the level reached in 1946," Smith said.

"Su,ch continuing high production is heartening insofar as homebuilding and commercial construction are concerned. When the spring building program goes into high gear, the West Coast lumber industry will be ready to supply whatever construction items it requires."

January orders, Smith said, averaged 139,188,000 b.f. ; shipments 132,988,000 b.f. Weekly averages for December, 1946, were: orders, 110/78,ffi0 shipments, II2,549,WO.

Cumulative production for the first five weeks of 1947 was 584,756,000 b.f., an increase of 63,439,000 b.f. over production during a similar period in 1946. Orders for the

New Redwood Data Sheets

San Francisco, Calif., February IL,1947:To aid lumber dealers, architects and.other specifiers to select the proper glade of Redwood lumber for each specific application, two new and helpfully illustrated data sheets, "Yard Grades" and "Grade Use Guide," are currently being distributed by the California Redwood Association. The publications may also be used profitably in merchandising and sales promotion.

' Designed as quick and easy references, the data sheets are the convenient 8%xlL size. They are punched for ready insertion in sales or specification books.

Featured in each of the publications are the new lumber grades adopted by the California Redwood industry as of December l, 1946. As part of the industry's continuous program of product improvement, these new grades were developed to give Redwood users the maximum volume of lumber in the durable all-heart grades.

"Yard Grades" gives a clear-cut description of each of the seven new yard grades of Redwood. It tells in simple language exactly what each grade is and indicates the suitability of the grade for specific purposes. Pertinent illustrations supplement the text.

"Grade IJse Guide" presents a handy list of the proper yard grades for more than 90 specific uses of Redwood in building construction, on farms, and in the garden. The character and utility of each yard grade is briefly outlined opposite an illustration of its grade mark. Of special inter-

est to architects and specifiers are two serviceable tables: "Standard Net Sizes of the Most Used Standard Patterns of Worked Redwood Lumber" and "Standard Net Sizes for Surfaced Redwood Yard Lumber."

The two data sheets may be obtained withoug cost by writing to the California Redwood Association, 405 Montgomery Street, San Francis,co 4, California.

Typical Lumber Designs Assist Architects and Builders

Washington, D. C.-The 1947 edition of typical lumber designs with quantities and materials lists for light and heavy frame structures, prepared by Timber Engineering Company, is now available to architects, engineers and builders.

Over 200 typical lumber roof truss designs are listed for garages, stores, churches, theatres, gymnasiums, warehouses and hangars. Other designs cover low cost prefabricated houses, grandstands, various types of towers, bridges and railway structures.

The designs employ the Teco connector system of construction and are ofiered as guides in designing for specific jobs. The Timber Engineering Company maintains a staff of engineers, who will examine plans for the adequate and proper use oT iorlnectors. Most of the designs are available upon request free of charge.

Lumber Production In California And Nevada During 1945

Berkeley, Calif.-Lumber production in California and Nevada in 1945 dropped about 8 per cent below the peak year of 1944, according to an announcement by Stephen N. Wyckoff, director of the California Forest & Range Experiment Station, U. S. Forest Service. The decrease is largely attributed to the general letdown in production following V-J Day.

The production statistics recently released are based on an annual survey conducted by the Forest Service in cooperation with the Bureau of the Census. Total lumber output in 1945 was about 2,261 million board feet. Of this total, about 1,109 million feet, or nearly 50 per cent, was ponderosa and sugar pine, 444 million f.eet (20 per cent), was redwood, 373 million feet (16 per cent) was Douglas fir, and 286 million feet (13 per cent) was white fir. The remainder was other species. Approximately 457 sawmills, all but 2 of which rvere located in California, were reported as sawing lumber during the year. This number represents an increase of 44 mills over the previous year. Twenty-one mills, each cutting 25 million board feet or more produced nearly 50 per cent of the total output.

Seven counties, Humboldt, Siskiyou, Lassen, Mendocino, Plumas, Eldorado, and Shasta arranged in descending order eagh produced over 100 million board feet of lumber in 1945. Their combined output equalled 7O per cent of total production. Of these seven counties Humboldt with 49 mills was first with a cut of about 418 million feet, while Lassen, with only 6 producing mills, was third highest with a cut of 246 million feet. Production in the other leading counties ranged from 139 to 269 million feet, and the number of mills from 20 to 45. Humboldt County has led in total production since 1941.

Further details of the survey including production by species and mill size class, number of mills, and production by counties separately for the pine and redwood regions of the state are given in Research Note No. 50 entitled "Production of Lumber, Lath, and Shingles in California and Nevada, 1945." Copies are available upon request to the California Forest and Range Experiment Station, 3D Giannini Hall, Berkeley 4, California.

The annual lumber census f.or 1946 will soon be under way.

There's a philosophy with strong appeal. Put as much as you can into every day of life. Take as much out of it as you can. Grab all the fun you can as you go along. Have no regrets. Once I asked a distinguished man who was far along the pathway of life, what things he regretted as he looked back. And he smiled and said: "I only regret the things I wanted much to do, and didn't."

rt:t*

February is a mighty little month, but boy, didn't she give the world some big men? Just Washington and Lincoln alone was enough to establish her fame as an outstanding producer. Yes sir, if I were February I'd sure brag about those two guys. Plenty has been printed and said about them these past few weeks, but nothing can do justice to them. Nothing. Shakespeare might have come close to doing the job, but unfortunately he preceded them. Bob Ingersoll, the famous agnostic, came closer than any other American in singing their praises.

**t<

I read a lot of beautiful articles and editorials recently by our best American editors and journalists, and couldn't help chuckling at the way they cribbed the words and phrases of Ingersoll in their efforts at eloquent praise of Lincoln. Three of those I read used these lines: "His memory is as gentle as a summer breeze that blows when the reapers sing amid gathered sheaves." Beautiful words. Spoken two generations and more ago by Robert Ingersoll, discussing Lincoln. BUT THERE WERE NO QUOTATION MARKS SHOWING WHEN THESE WRITERS OF TODAY USED THEM. I have often said that no American speaker was ever robbed one-half as frequently and as brazenly as Ingersoll. These present-day boys each thinks he is the only man who reads Ingersoll, and therefore deliberately leaves off the quotation marks when cribbing his eloquent words. ***

If you wish to read the most beautiful words ever spoken concerning both Lincoln and Washington, read Ingersoll. They are as outstanding as his funeral oration over the grave of his brother; an oration that has been quoted without the use of quotation marks by a million clergymen, while seeking to say eloquent things about the dead.

Lincoln's greatest characteristic was his humility. No great statesman in the history of the world was ever so selfeffacing, so unassuming, so genuinely humble. In world hisiory he far outranks Washington. No scholar in two generations has compiled a list of the world's greatest men, that omitted the name of Lincoln. It was his unbelievable humility that stamped him immortal. That he 'ldreaded praise, not blame," as James Russell Lowell wrote of him, was undoubtedly true. And truly, "his memory is as gentle as a summer breeze that blows when the reapers sing amid gathered sheaves." You will notice that, unlike some of my editor contemporaries, I used the quote marlis. Nobody would be fool enough to think I originated such sublimity. ***

And Washington, while unlike Lincoln in a thousand important ways, also possessed a great degree of humility. Did you know, friends, that in the diary he kept through life, he never once mentioned the fact that he was President of the United States, or that he was Commander-in-Chief? Truly great men are like that. They are always like that. Vanity, egotism, self-praise can never be found in a Washington. Can you even imagine Lincoln referring to himself as Commander-in-Chief ?

Right here let me quotJtn" *"rU, of another great man -great because of his simplicity and humility-in which he refers to Lincoln and Washington in most novel fashion. I am indebted for these words of Will Rogers to a lumber friend, Glen Hutton. I had never seen them before. Charles M. Russell, the great cowboy artist, was a close friend of Will Rogers, and when he died several years before Rogers, he had just finished writing a book entitled "Trails Plowed l]nder." It was published after his death, and Will Rogers wrote the frontispiece in the form of a letter which he addressed to his cowboy tt"1d "over there." This is it:

"There ain't much news here to tell you. You know the Big Boss gent sent a hand over and got you too quick, Charlie. But I guess he needed a good man pretty bad. I hear they been working shorthanded over there pretty much all the time. I guess it's hard for Him to get hold of good men; they are getting scarce everywhere. ***

"I bet you hadn't been up there three days until you had out your old pencil and was a-drawing something funny about some of their old cowpunchers. I bet Mark Twain and Bill Nye and Whitcomb Riley and a whole bunch of those old joshers was just a-waiting for you to pop in

"I would like to see the bunch that is gathered round you ttre first time you tell the one about putting the limberger cheese in the old nester's whiskers. Don't tell that, Charlie, until you get Lincoln around you. He would love that. I bet you and him kinder throw in together when you get well acquainted. Darn it, when I get to thinking about all them top hands up there, if I could just hold a horse wrangling job with 'em I wouldn't mind following that wagonmyself.

"Of course we are all just hanging on here as long as we can. I don't lorow why we hate to go, we know it's better there. Maybe it's because we haven't done anything that will live after we're gone. From your old friend, Will."

t<*x<

If that doesn't belong in your scrapbook, friends, you must have a funny book. The words I quoted from Russell Lowell were from this verse: "Standing like a tower, Our children shall behold his fame, The kindly-eainest, brave, farseeing man, Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame." ***

Lincoln believed that there is but one 12gs-hurnanity. He no doubt would h4ve gladly indorsed the words written by Herbert Agar, distinguished Southern editor and author, when he said: "Every civilization rests on a set of promises; moral promises about how to behave to each other, physical promises about how to use our economic system. If the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich we may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith goes, everything goes."

,Fi<*

If any of us need a strengthening of backbone in behalf of our Republican form of Governrnent, consider the present plight of Great Britain. She is in straits well nigh as desperate as she was those days when Hitler's hordes were only twenty miles auray across the narrow waters of the North Sea, and her own armed forces practically without ammunition.or great guns. And all because the pink flag of socialism appealed to a majority of British voters immediately after the war. Someone told the tired British people that if they voted Socialism they would no longer have to work hard for private employers but would become their own bosses. And under such bosses they could take

it easy. They did. And now look at them. From the day the Socialist goveniment took over, the wbrkers began to slow down. And now the wages of such industrial and economic sin has mounted to a tidal wave that threatens them with destruction. They have learned, too late and at horrid cost, that production and production alone can bring prosperity, and that you can't loaf yourself irrto economic paradise. Today, as in the days of old, the good things of life must be won "by the sweat of their brows." British workers quit sweating; and now they may quit eating.

Many matters of huge interest to every citizen now faces the Congress. One of them is the proposal to limit the continuous service of the President. Right now, when the passions and prejudices created by political races are on vacation and no personalities need creep into the discussions of the proposition, is the ideal time to limit the terms a President may serve. In my mind one thing is absolutely certain; a.President who has served two terms in office can be re-elected continuously if he so desires. No power can defeat the organization that is naturally built up through long political service. Samuel J. Tilden, who lost to Hayes although he polled the larger popular vote, remarked: "If the sacred tradition of two terms established by Washington, Madison, Jefferson, and Jacksgn can be broken, the President may be re-elected indefinitely. There will be no organized thing in the country of sufhcient power to resist him." History has amply demonstrated that any President can re-nominate himself. The national convention of thc party in power is always a sham. No power can stop his re-nomination if he wants it that way. The power of a President who has served two terms to re-elect himself comes straight and unbeatable from the possession of the property and authority of the government. To any ambitious man who has served two terms and is not legally restrained from seeking a third, self-perpetuation is a certainty. That's why the time is now, when there is nothing of the kind at issue, to take care of the future. George Washington thundered against a third term for any man; and George was a sound sort of thinker, wouldn't you say? ***

George Washington once said: "Put only Americans on guard." Right now a Congressional Committee announces that it is going to conduct an investigation that will carry out the advice of Washington. For many years past subversives have needled and injected themselves into every department of our Federal Government. For a number of years they were amply protected. Thrown out of one department, they showed up in another. Now they are going to try and weed them out entirely. Let us all say Amen to that effort.

Lumber Avcrilcrble For Millwork Thirs Yecr

Washington, D. C., February 6-An estimated 2,300 million board feet of lumber will be available for millwork this year, as against a minimum demand for approximately 2,200 million feet for residential building and other construction, including that authorized under CPA's Veterans' Housing Program Order 1, the Civilian Production Administration said today.

Both CPA and the industry estim'ate that existing millwork facilities are more than sufficient to process the lumber to become available, and that satisfactory quantities of finished millwork will be turned out.

Lumber Merchanb Association of Northern California Sponsors Training Program for Yard Personnel

Recognizing the need for a training prog'ram for veterans and their own employees, directors of the Lumber Merchants Association of .Northern California voted unanimously at their meeting in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, to inaugurate such a program.

Robert J. Wright, executive vice president of the association, announced that the College of the Pacific, Stockton, is willing to take on the program, which is a short training course for veterans and retail lumber and building material yard personnel, developed by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association from the experience of the University of Washington, Seattle, and the University of Denver.

For double door installations, with no center post, the Wilson Twin Easy-Lift is suspended by a special center mounting bracket.

It is claimed that this garage door is so perfectly balanced that it seems to float up and down at a touch of the fingers.

White Brothers' telephone number in San Francisco is SUtter 1365. The Oakland yard number is ANdover 1600.

Britistr Lumber Situation Discppointing

Bryan Latham, President of the Timber Trade Federation, of England, addressing the Federation in review of the lumber and timber situation in England for 1946, said:

"The past year has not yet seen the fulfillment of all our hopes. The timber trade has not yet moved forward to that measure of de-control which had been forseen, whilst the consumer and manufactuiers have not been able to expand their production to fulfill the national needs as they had anticipated. Both these troubles have the same fundamental cause-a shortage of timber supplies greater than had been expected from reasonable forecasts made the first of the year."

That statement would seem, in light of what we hear about the building material famine in England, to be a verv definite understatement.

In New Offices

New larger quarters on the 5th floor of 16 California Street, San Francisco, will enable the R. G. Robbins Lumber Co. to expand their service to customers. Those from out of town will find desk and telephone facilities provided for them in the new offices. L. J. (Larry) Owens is manager.

Small Mill Conference

With an attendance of nearly 500 the Small Mill Conference held in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday, February 1, was one of the largest gatherings of Oregon sawmill men in history. Sponsored by the Pacific Lumber Remanufacturers Association, the conference dealt primarily with the problems of the rough green mills which are currently cutting nearly one-third of the entire production of Western lumber.

George F. Cornwall, managing editor of the Timberman, presided at the morning session in the I.O.O.F. Temple which opened with a talk by Professor John H. Grantham of Oregon State College on the "Role of Small Mills in ReLogging." Joseph Nunn, chief engineer of the Willamette Iron and Steel Corp. of Portland, showed a number of interesting historical slides on the development of portable mills.

The second topic of the morning, "Effect of the Co-operative Sustained Yield Unit Program on Small Mills" was discussed by George E. Owen, president and Frank B. Reid, attorney of the 'Western Association of Lumbermen and Loggers. While accepting the theory of continuous production on forest lands these speakers charged that the plan of allocating National Forest and O and C timber to a few large operators without competitive bidding, will result in monopoly and will {orce out of existence a large number of independent loggers, sawmill operators and lumber distributors. A majority of those in attendance signed a petition to Oregon's congressional delegation requesting a careful study of this entire situation.

At noon the millmen were guests of the Remanufacturers Association for luncheon where U. S. Senator Wayne L. Morse talked on the subject "Labor Legislation and the 80th Congress."

First speaker on the afternoon program, of which Paul Dunn, Dean of the Oregon State College School of Forestry, was chairman, was Clarence j. Telford, head of the Division of Small Mill Methods, U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin. He opened the topic "Small Mill Mechanisms, Accomplishments and Needs" which was amplified by several other speakers.

Howard Brown, general superintendent of the West

Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection stressed the necessity of doing a better job of manufacturing and grading small mill lumber if this is to compete with big mill stock.

Carl Crow, editor of Crow's Lumber Digest, talked on merchandising. He told the audience that traditionally when a strong lumber market showed signs of weakening the soft spots appeared first in rough green common dimension and boards. He expressed the opinion that many small mills will "fold up" as we move into a buyerd' market unless they refine their product through efficient remanufacturing and maintain reasonable prices. One of the most practical talks of the day was given by Henry (Lefty) 'Waterston, superintendent of the Clear Fir Products plant at Springfield who exhibited a number of mismanu{actured pieces of lumber picked from lots sent to a local remanufacturing plant by various rough green'mills. In addition to pointing out the waste developing in such material he showed how it slowed down operation of the remilling plant and increased cost to the consumer. Finally, he suggested ways and means of eliminating much of the mismanufacture thus increasing the value and reducing the cost.

Following the afternoon session about 3O locel machine shops, machinery, equipment and supply dealers entertained at a social hour and buffet dinner.

In his address, entitled "Industrial Stability," Mr. Kreienbaum said in part:

"Oregon has now become the dominant lumber producing state in the nation, and fortunately at a time when every effort is being made in the direction of stable timber management and integration. The State of Washington is fortunate in that its period of forest stability is beginning while it has sufficient resources remaining to be of importance to its economy.

"fnasmuch as our industry is of such tremendous importance to the Pacific Northwest as well as to the nation, it has endeavored for years to give assurance that there will always be a forest produ'cts industry to support the economy it has created.

"The first requisite of such a promise is stability of land and timber ownership and a wedding of the raw materials and the processing plants; in other words, more complete integration oI the processes which are necessary to the full utilization of what an acre of ground will grow in our two states. If the momentum of this development that has taken place in the last five or six years continues into the future, I believe we can fairly well predict the extent of the future operations of the forest products industry of our Douglas fir region .

"Much has happened recently to lay emphasis on the subject of sustained yield. The government agencies, holding 60 per cent of the remaining mature timber in the Douglas fir region, with laws permitting the establishment of sustained yield operations, cooperative as well as otherwise, pressed by public opinion in the interest of stability, are taking active steps to follow through on their programs.

"If we will develop the cooperation between industry and the government agencies, and act with a singleness of purpose, I am personally convinced that there is a strong possibility that the industry of this region can have a sustained cut of logs averaging around seven billion feet for ths next twenty to twenty-five years. The tendency toward further integration of our industry, bringing with it a higher degree of utilization, will have arrested the trend downward in annual volume of log cut. From that point on, we should see an expanding industry develop. I am convinced that we can say truthfully not only that we will always have a forest products industry, but also a stable and, some day, an expanding industry."

Lumber Dealer ls Kcy To lts To Develop Prefabricated Houses Uring Expanded Builders' Hardware Program New Tvp" of Wood Veneer

Stamford, Conn.,-As a result of its intensive national market analysis recently completed, The Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, Stamford Division, is planning the largest market expansion program for its builders' hardware products in its 79-year history.

Mark A. Miller, assistant general manager of the Stamford Division who is directing this campaign, declared that the new marketing program is predicated on the basis that the country's largest market for building materials to equip the millions of housing units it is estimated will be constructed during the next decade will be the small towns of under 50,000 population. Furthermore, the most important distributing channel for building products that can be developed in the small towns, he said, is the retail lumber yard.

The importance of the small town lumber dealer in distributing building materials to the revitalized light building construction market is indicated, Mr. Miller declares, by the fact that 66/o o;,f. all new homes built in 1941 were located in 16,000 towns of less than 5O.000 population, and only 34/o in 200 cities of more than 50,000 population'

Yale & Towne's own investigation, which included checks of research findings by such agencies as the F. W. Dodge Corporation, the Federal Housing Administration, and the National Housing Agency, indicates that even if the most conservative estimates are used, the total building volume in the next decate will exceed the number of housing units of the most prosperous building construction period on record, that for 1920-n. fndependent statistical agencies estimate that from 820,000 to 1,250,000 new housing units will be built annually for ten years.

The small town, therefore, will probably account for at least 66% of these new homes, and that means 66/o of tll.e builders' hardware used in their construction.

Washington, D. C., February l3-Industrial research to develop prefabricated houses using a new type of wood veneer made from low grade and presently unused peeler logs is being sponsored by the Industrial Research and Development Division of the Commerce Department's Offic': of Technical Services, John C. Green, OTS director, announced today.

Under the terms of a six-month "actual cost" contract with the Elmendorf Corporation, Chicago, Ill., a private research organization, a complete model prefabricated structure incorporating the new panel will be designed, built, and tested under the specifications of the National Housing Agency.

Endorsers of the project include the Crawford Co., Baton Rouge, La., Harbor Plywood Corp., National, Wash., Plywood Research Foundation, Tacoma, Wash., Aetna Plywood and Veneer Co., and General Houses fnc., of Chicago, Ill. The National Housing Agency, the construction division of the Commer'ce Department's Office of Domestic Commerce, and the Forest Products Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture have also approved the project.

Successful completion of this project will help relieve current building material shortages,' release higher grade lunober for other purposes, and speed emergency housing programs, Mr. Green said.

The contract also stipulates that the Elmendorf Corporation will make available to all interested manufacturers a report containing detailed drawings of the proposed prefabricated house and its component parts, as well as full data on the necessary manufacturing processes.

Lcnrd Plcrrning Consultcurts

Of FIIA Stcff Avcilqble

Land planning consultants of the Federal Housing Administration staff are available to assist in the planning of rental housing projects as advisers to, developers and builders, it was announced by John E. McGovern, district director, Los Angeles.

"Our consultants have had wide experience in land development and in planning subdivisions. f am sure that they can be helpful to builders and investors in rental housing," the Director said. "Good site selection and good land planning are essentials in the production of rental housing with continuing tenant appeal."

The provisions of Title VI of the National Housing Act authorize the Federal Housing Administration to insure mortgages for as much as 90 per cent of the necessary current cost of the completed property, including land and structures. Rental preference is giv€n to veterans of World War II.

In order to provide a volume of rental housing, it is anticipated that a considerable amount of new land will be developed. Site planning, streets, drainage, and other development features are important to both large and small projects of rental housing structurss. FHA requirements in this regard are applied individually to each project to fit local existing conditions.
