West Coast Monthly Survey A. J. Castell Sells Interest in Company

Seattle, Washington, March 11, 1940-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in Februarv A weeks) was 127,034,000 board ieet, or 64.5 per cent oi the weekly average f.or-.I926-I929, the indusiry,s years of highest capacity realization, accordins to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its moithlv survev of the iq{":Jty. Orders averaged 130,595,000 ieet; shipments, l?9,07-3:W:- ^Weekly averages for January *ire: produc- tion, 123,553,000 feei (62.7 per cent -of the highest clpacity realiz-ation index) ; orders, 131,169,000; shipments,' 120; 155,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 513,349,000 feet at the end of February; gross stocks, at 961,000,000.

^ February wag q month of marking time for the West Coast lumber industry. Extreme dold rveather was a blockade in the building market of the Midwest and East. The movement of WesiCoast lumber to the Atlantic Coast was impeded by scarcity of shipping space; and during Iebruary thls same sho_rtlge was extended to the industry's Coastwise trade with Caliiornia.

While the extremely open February enjoyed in the industry's producing region provided excepiional operatins conditions, the slow market and space difficrrlties trita nacE lumber shipments. The industry has been compelled to follow a conservative course in production.

A considerable number of mills in February had to reduc-e operqting schedules from 5 days a week io 4 or even 3 days. Some mills were compelied to close down for occasional _periods, because of in-ability to ship lumber by water to the Atlantic Coast.

The industry has kept its stocks and order files in reasonably good shape. At the end of the month there rvere indications of a resumption of activity in Midwest and California markets, where lumber buying has been de- layed. Exports remain at lorv ebb.

A. J. Castell, for the past sixteen years manager of the California Lumber Company at Montebello, Calif., has sold his interests and has retired from the firm.

Mr. Castell and his family came to Southern California in L924, and they have lived in the vicinity of Montebello during the time he was in business there.

Before coming to Southern California, Mr. Castell was in the lumber business in Colorado for a period of twentytwo years. After being in business for thirty-eight years, he feels that he has earned a much needed vacation. He and his wife live on a ranch near Rivera and he states it is an ideal place for a home. In a few months, Mr. Castell expects to be actively engaged in looking after other interests in the Montebello district.

HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the Santa Cruz Lumber Co., Santa Cruz, Calif., was held February 20, and the officers elected were: J. R. Williamson, president; Don Ley, vicepresident, and E. E. Carriger, secretary.

Directors re-elected: Samuel Leask, Walter Byrne, Otto Jensen, J. R. Williamson, and Don Ley, who succeeds his father, the late George Ley.

MRS. GENEVIEVE ADAMS

Mrs. Genevieve McDonald Adams, rvife of Irving Adams of the Noah Adams Lumber Company, Oakland, passed away in Oakland, February 28, after a long'illness. Funeral -.ervices rvere held in Oakland. March 1.

WARNEN,

If

there is war what can I do

But stay at home and pray for you?

If there is war what can I say

But, God have mercy on this day?

If those so dear to me must die, What can I say but-Dear God! Why?

Read in the papers the other day where one of the sons of the great Teddy Roosevelt is now witli the Finnish army. Reminds me of a story they tell about the great patriot and fighting mil, Col. James Bowie, who died in The Alamo. Like Sam Houston, Bowie was a Tennesseean. The story is that back in the days when the Americans in Texas were fighting for their lives against the Mexican hordes, a friend in Tennessee met Col. Bowie one morning.

,1.**

The redoubtable Colonel was on horseback, and to the seasoned eye of the friend it was plain that he was start ing on a long journey, with saddle-rols, rife, and full equipmenL So he said to Bowie, "'Where are you going?" And the author of the Bowie knife replied, ..I'm going to Texas, to fight for my rights." That's what Teddy Roosevelt's son has done. He's gone to Finland to fight for his rights. The same type of inspiration sent him there, that sent James Bowie to Texas.

In the good old days of Bowie and Crocket and Flouston, highrspirited men went wherever a good cause cried aloud for help, to fight "for their rights.,, The rights of all good men, when assailed by powers of darkness, were THEIR rights. It would seem that today the cause of Finland is one that should appeal to the patriots of the entire world, like the cause of Texas did to Houston and Bowie. I should think that soldiers of fortune the world over, would be heading for Finland to help in that glorious adventure now being staged in that David and Goliath war. Perhaps they have. Perhaps the Roosevelt scion is only one of a great army of noble individuals who put justice above personal safety, and glory before everything.

I read an excerpt from a Moscow newspaper the other

day, in which they referred to Stalin as "a humanitarian, a scholar, and a gentleman." Reminded me of what Lord Byron wrote about another of that ilk: "He was the mildest-mannered man who ever scuttled ship, or cut a throat." However, humanitarian Joe Stdin has plenty of friends in this country. If you don't believe it ask President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The National Youth Congress, which Mrs. Roosevelt had gone far out of her way to defend and champion, booed the President and hissed his wife because they spoke against Russia in this Russian-Finnish war.

The other day we observed the birthday of George Washington. Tributes were written and uttered all over the land to the memory of that great man and patriot. But Abraham Lincoln had entirely covered that subject, when he said: "On that name no eulogy is expected. It cannot be. To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington alike are impossible. Let none attempt it."

ft was General "Lighthor.se" ffarry Lee, father of Robert E. Lee, who was the author of the most famous remark about Washington, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."

trlrt

Patrick Henry, himself considered the most flaming and gifted orator in all American history, said THIS about Washington, "If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina is by far the greatest orator, but if you speak of solid information and sound judgment, Col. Washington is unquestionably the greatest man on the floor." We Americans often speak of "a sound man." It is probable that Washington more thoroughly fulfilled every man's conception of that complimentary term than any other famous man. And don't forget, Mr. Washington considered ten minutes sufficient time to discuss even the most important matters before Congress.

When Washington was just fifteen years of age, he wrote down ttre rules of conduct that wouJd guide his life, and one of them was: "Speak not evil of the absent because it is rurjust.', * ,r *

Washington was 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighed about 220 (Continued on Page 8)

pounds, and was a magnificent athlete. Many stories were told of his prowess, perhaps the best known being his reputed ability to throw a silver dollar across the Potomac River. He was a very human fellow, loved dancing, cards, billiards, horse racing, and many other social diversions. His father married twice, and George was the first son of the second marriage. When he married, he married a widow.

***

Thomas Jefferson said of Washington: "He was liberal in whatever promised utility; but frowning and unyielding on all visionary projects, and all unworthy calls on his charity." Jefferson likewise said of him: "George Wash, ington set the example of voluntary retirement after eight years. I shall follow it. And a few more precedents will oppose the obstacle of habit to anyone who, after a while, shall endeavor to extend his term."

And here is a remark ;"J;*rngton, himself, made, that is rather pertinent, "Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike for another, cause those whom they actuate to.see danger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even second, the arts of influence on the other." flowever, I imagine that even the calm Washington would be "agin" Messrs. Stalin and Hitler, were he here today.

*:tt(

Truly George Washington, Father of His Country, was a leader in the list-

"Of those immortal dead who live again, In minds made better by their presence." ***

Two weeks ago in this column I boasted that the famous British historian H. G. Wells had named Abraham Lincoln in his list of the six greatest men that ever lived. I failed to name the other five of Mr. Wells' selection. Very promptly many friends have wanted to know. One guy accused me of holding back the list, just as the publishers of serial adventure stories always terminate the installment at critical moments. Fact is, f was so interested in boiling down a story about Lincoln that I entirely forgot to mention Mr. Wells' other five. They were Jesus, Buddha, Aristotle, Roger Bacon, and Asoka. {<**

I know that brings on more talk, because while most normal readers will be well posted on the first three, the average man will ask "Why Roger Bacon, and who on earth was Asoka?" I'll answer those questions in that order. Roger Bacon was an Englishman in no wise related to that other Bacon, Sir Francis, who carne several

hundred years later. Roger lived from l2t4 to 1294. Read up on him. He was SOME guy; sort of a prophetic scientist who had a genius for seeing into the future of the scientific world. He was one of the world's most original thinkers, yet only in the last few decades has his greatness been recognized. That Wells puts him on his list in place of all other scientists, shows how great he was. He did not DO a great deal; but his thoughts roamed centuries ahead, and pointed out the great things to come. He taught that the world was round; he constructed a telescope; he understood gun powder and the magnetic needle; he predicted horseless vehicles that would travel at high speed over the earth; he predicted flying machines, powerdriven ships, and was farther ahead of his time in his thinking than any other man that ever lived with the possible exception of another on Wells' group, Aristotle. Bacon was surrounded by bigots and barbarians, and because they could not understand his mighty thinking the Franciscans imprisoned him for many years, and he died shortly after being released from prison. His end proved, as did that of many others, that it does not pay to be a wise man in a world of fools. ***

Now, who was Asoka? Six hundreds years before Christ, Buddha, born a prince in India, founded the religion called Buddhism, which, with its various branches, covers fndia, Arabia, Persia, Turkestan, Tibet, China, Japan, Mongolia, etc. You could lose all the Christians in the world in the hordes of the followers of Buddha, and have a job finding them, so greatly would they be out-numbered. Well, Buddha was the founder of the religion. But, like Christianity, it required a great salesman. What Paul was to early Christianity, Asoka was to early Buddhism. He was the Emperor of India. He was the greatest and mightiest monarch of his time. With sword and force he conquered all India and brought it under his heel. Then he became converted to the gentle beliefs of Buddha, and he became a great evangelist, preaching, teaching, and practicing the Brotherhood of Man. FIe conquered India all over again, the second time with kindness, helpfulness, and brotherly love. He became horrified at war, and banished it from the world he ruled. So skillfully did he handle his new weapons of brotherly love that when he died he left behind a reputation close to the sublime. History says he handled his total power more beneficently than any other ruler that ever lived. There seemed no guile, no hypocrisy in his later life. So thoroughly did he demonstrate that he loved his fellow man, that there were no scoffers. Even the great Roman, Marcus Aurelius, pales beside Asoka. Such is a brief history of Asoka, the gentlest, kindliest, most loving man who ever held mighty TEMPORAL power. And that is why Wells saw fit to list him with the others.

E. K, Wood's New Wholesale Dock and Yard at l-rong Beach

The E. K. Wood Lumber Company opened its nerv wholesale Dock at Berth 28, Outer Harbor, Long Beach, Calif., on December 19, 1939, and it is now in full operation. Seven cargoes of lumber were unloaded last week. Before moving to the new location, they operated a wholesale dock at San Pedro where they had been for the past forty years.

The new plant occupies ten acres of ground, and has an all-paved floor. It is strictly a wholesale operation for receiving, sorting, distributing and storing lumber for the wholesale trade and their own retail yards. 20,000,000 feet of lumber a month can be easily handled over the dock.

There are only four buildings in the yard, the office, small sawmill, shed for dry lumber, and a garage-machine shop. The office is streamlined, insulated and modern in every detail. Equipment in the sawmill includes resawing, ripping and cut-off saws used in making up orders for the wholesale trade. The lumber shed has a capacity of a quarter-million feet of kiln dry stock, and the garagemachine shop is used for the upkeep and maintenance of the equipment.

The gantry crane which is used is unusual and out-ofthe ordinary. It is the fastest crane in operation in Southern California, will travel 25O f.eet per minute, and is capable of loading a million feet of lumber in eight hours. It has an automatic winding cable which is synchronized with the speed of the crane. This crane was designed by W.

J. A. (Al) Privett, manager of E. K. Wood Lumber Cornpany at Los Angeles, supervised the building of the new plant, and Mr. Starkey was in charge of construction, laying of tracks, installing the crane and all details.

The lumber operations are easy to handle and economical. The lumber is unloaded from the boats in units, which are picked up by Ross carriers and assembled, loaded onto trucks by the crane, and the shipments are then ready to move out of the yard. Four streets run into the yard from the main boulevard.

E. K. Wood Lumber Co. operates three vessels in the coastwise lumber trade, "Olympic," "Cascade," and "El Capitan." Their mill operations are at Anacortes, Wash.

Warren B. Wood of Los Angeles, president of the company, Mr. Privett and Mr. Starkey formulated the plans for the new dock and worked on the idea for about three years before starting construction.

Speaking of the new Long Beach plant, Manager Privett, who refers to it as his "pet" says, "The officials of the company are pleased with their new set-up at the Harbor. It is easy to operate, and since it has been in operation has proven economical, even exceeding their expectations."

John J. Waldron, who was formerly connected with the retail sales department in their Los Angeles office, is manager at the new dock.

New President of Capital Hoo-Hoo Club \(/ell Known Lumberman

Charles L. Shepard, elected president of the recently formed Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club, is one of the best known men in the retail lumber business in Northern California.

He is secretary - treasurer of Friend & Terry Lumber Co., Sacramento, and has been with that concern just 281 years, in fact since his graduation from high school. His father, L. G. Shepard, who in his dav was usually referred to as "L.G.:' was vice-president and general manager of the company from 1900 to 1922.

Mr. Shepard is widely known as a horseman. He has received a good deal of publicity as the driver of the sixhorse stagecoach team owned by Edgar M. Simpson, president of Friend & Terry Lumber Co. He has driven this team on many occasions at rodeos, pageants and pioneer celebrations, his clever handling of the horses bringing much comment.

He lives on a 7f-acre ranch at Arcade, a few miles out of Sacramento, where he has a beautiful country home with roof and walls of Red Cedar shakes and completely insulated. Here he maintains several saddle horses for the use of himself and Mrs. Shepard, who is also much interested in horses. A favorite saddle horse, now 22 years old, and winner of many blue ribbons at shows, is now retired to pasture as the result of a kick. Mr. Shepard also has a ranch in Siskiyou County where he raises cattle.

It is interesting to note here that Friend & Terry Lumber Co. was founded in 1851 by Capt. A. M. Simpson and his brother. An interest was bought in lg53 by W. E. Terry and John S. Friend. The company has operated under its present name for 87 years.

All that is left of her wonderful son Is a little brass tag;

All of her baby that shouldered a gun Is a little brass tag.

He that so proudly marched off in the line, Clear-eyed and smiling, and splendid and fine, fs home once again on the banks of the Rhine, Just a little brass tag.

He with the eyes that were kindly and blue Is a little brass tag;

He with the shoulders so square and so true Is a little brass tag.

He that stepped forward to follow the flag, To ride with a sabre or march with a Krag, You'll find now with thousands, shipped home in a bag, Just a little brass tag.

Oh, mother, the boy you're so hungry to see Is a little brass tag;

The end of yow dreams of the man he would be Is a little brass tag;

Your beautiful visions of splendors have fled, Your wonderful man of tomorrow lies dead; He went as a soldier, but comes home instead Just a little brass tag.

In the foreword he says: "When you have read this through, if it has increased your love for a home, or caused you to consider the possibility of making the attempt to own a home, then we will have, at least, partially succeeded with what we have set out to do."

"It is easy now," says Mr. Totten, "and since the advent of the Federal Housing Administration, the task is not only lightened, but when you investigate, you will find it so easy to buy and build that it will become a pleasant experience.

"All you have to do is go to the lumber dealer, whose name is on the cover page. He will show you many new and practical plans, plan books, and advise you as to each necessary step to be taken for the fulfillment of your dreams."

Lumbermen and prospective home owners will enjoy reading this booklet. It sells f.or 25 cents per copy.

Sealed Graylite lrok-sloint Lath-New Insulite Product

Creation of a triple-duty building material that serves as a plaster base, a rigid insulating material, and a barrier against vapor travel into stud spaces was announced last month by The Insulite Company, Minneapolis, Minn.

The new product, known as Sealed Graylite Lok-Joint Lath, was introduced by Insulite engineers as another forward step in the progress of structural insulation following more than a quarter century in the insulation field..

Improvement of the company's two other Lok-Joint Laths were combined to create the new product integrally treated with asphalt and backed by an asphalt barrier on the stud side.

The new Sealed lath is also made of the same material as Bildrite Sheathing, which is integrally water-proofed with asphalt, the new product serving as a rigid, structural, insulating plaster base.

It is provided in 18-by-48 inch panels with thicknesses of one inch, three-quarters-inch and half-inch. The oneinch thickness is composed of two half-inch panels sealed together with the asphalt vapor barrier between the two layers.

The Sealed Graylite Lok-Joint Lath, like the Ins-Lite Lok-Joint Lath and the Graylite Lok-Joint Lath of the Insulite line, has ship lap joints which provide the maximum of efficiency.in insulation and vapor control at the

joint. The heavy galvanized metal Loks, which are built into the lath, force the operlapping edges together in a tight protective press.

As a plaster base, the lath is particularly effective since its wood fibre construction is designed to have twice the bond to plaster that wood lath has. The Lok-Joint Lath requires a heavy uniform plaster surface, keeps wet plaster from stud spaces, and eliminates lath marks.

In addition, its insulating pr-operties reduce loss of hea! thereby slashing the winter fuel costs and providing an economic advantage which home owners appreciate. Similarly, it protects the home against summer heat.

Principal additional objective of the new sealed lath is to retard vapor travel from hot to the cold stud spaces where it may condense and begin destructive action.

Double protection is provided with addition of Bildrite Sheathing on the cold side of the hous6 to draw out whatever moisture may accumulate in the stud places. The combination of these two structural insulating materials provides the Insulite line's "'Stop and Go for Vapor," in that most vapor is retarded and stopped inside the house by the Sealed lath, while whatever vapor escapes the vapor barrier is carefully dissipated through the Bildrite Sheathing to the outside air, completing the "Go" portion of "Vapor gets the Stop and Go with Insulite in Building."

Amend the Act by striking out Sections 5, 8, and 10 and a portion of Sub-Section (a) (3) so as to eliminate all provisions now contained in the Act relating to industry com" mittees.

Amend the Act to provide that actions against employers would be outlawed unless brought within six months of the time the cause of action accrued.

The Conference discusses the Norton, Barden, and Ramspeck Bills now pending in Congress. It expressed opposition to the proposal that the Act be amended to give the Administrator power to issue rules and regulations which would have the effect of law.

The proposal in the Barden Bill to exempt sawmills employing Ffteen employees or less in the aggregate was likewise opposed as a severe discrimination.

Conferences were held with officials of the Wage and Hour Administration during which reference was made to the continued lack of prompt and uniform enforcement of the law in many sections of the industry.

In view of the expressed intention of the Administrator to review and revise existing interpretations and regulations where they are found unnecessarily restrictive, the Conference approved a proposal to seek relief from the present construction of the terms "reasonable cost" as applied to "board, lodging and other facilities', through an appeal to thb Administrator under Section 531.3 of the regulations.

If and when Congress takes up the matter of Amendments to this Statute, it is expected that consideration will be given to the above amendments, most of which have a general application to industries not limited to the lumber and timber products industries.

One Theater Novelty Not Even Shakespeare Knew-G1ued Lraminated Roof Arches

Striking and beautiful examples of a new and growing industry in the building field-the built-up wood arch industry-are the glued laminated Douglas fir arches which support the auditorium roof of the new Penthouse Theater now being brought to completion on the southwest corner of the University of Washington campus, Seattle.

The theater is an unusual project in many respectsadding as it does both novelty and charm to a campus already world-famed for its architectural distinction-but, in the words of the University of Washington Daily, it is "the roof truss construction in the new theater which is attracting wide attention from builders and designers all over America."

Rising vertically twenty feet, the roof supports are anchored on the outer rim of the auditorium. They converge in a "hub" at the peak of the structure, supporting the roof over an octagonally designed auditorium without the use of center supports and thus eliminating "behind the pillar" seats common to the ordinary theater. When complete, the auditorium will seat an audience of. 20O persons on circular tiers of seats around a center stage, in the classic Greek manner. It will be opened to the public May 16, 1940.

The arches were designed by Sergius Sergev, associate

professor of Civil Engineering of the University; and the project was under the supervision of Charles C. May, superintendent of buildings and grounds, and his assistant, C. K. Weidner.

It is of particular interest to note, too, that the eight laminated supporting arches were fabricated by WPA workers on the project under the supervision of the University. Charles North was senior project supervisor for the WPA.

The arches are made of Douglas fir boards, nine-sixteenths of an inch thick and five and one-half inches wide. These boards are of random lengths and scarf-spliced with glue to form a piece long enough to extend from the heel to the crown. The arch curve in each case was made by bending the laminations in a clamping jig which also supplied the pressure.

Although this type of construction has been used with success in Europe for more than thirty years-even such structures as vehicular bridges and railroad sheds being built with laminated trusses-it rvas the construction of an experimental service building for the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, at Madison, Wisconsin in 1935, which marked the real beginning of the present increasing use of the built-up wooden arch in this country, according to T. R. C. Wilson, senior engineer of the Laboratory.

Since then-Mr. Wilson points out in Technical Bulletin No. 691, called "The Glued Laminated Wooden Arch" and just published by the U. S. Forest Service-around 1@ buildings or halls of the same general type have been built in midwestern states, including churches, community halls, gymnasiums, g'arages, dance halls, and Gothicstyled dairy barns. The arches in these buildings vary widely in shape but not in design principle.

Don G. Abel, Washington State WpA Administrator, in telling newspaper men about the new Penthouse Theater on the University of Washington campus, said: .,shipbuilders are already showing interest in the new trusses tor possible use in manufacturing wooden ships' ribs.',

Sisalkraft Has Many Uscs

Geo. E. Ream Company, Los Angeles, wholesale distributors of Sisalkraft, reports a good demand for this product.

This building paper is tough, wiry, wind-proof and water-proof. It is a necessity for home building-under stucco, over all sheathing, for flashing, under floors and roofs-for perfect concrete curing, Ior outdoor covers, building silos, and for all farm and construction uses.

The new streamlined pre-treated Orange Label Sisalkraft replaces the black treated Sisalkraft and has all the qualities of the original product plus a fungicide treatment. It has a high-wet strength and is pre-treated to resist shrinkage, all at no extra cost.

Sisalkraft is a profitable sideline for dealers, and after years of research it proves its adaptability, no matter how or where it is used.
