Suggests Series of Educational Talks

A series of educational talks on the various species of wood, to be sponsored by Hoo Hoo Club No. 9, was proposed by A. C. Horner, manag'er of the western division of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, at the regular monthly meeting of the club, held at the Elks Club, San Francis'co, March 27.

Mr. Horner said he believed such a series would bring out a large attendance of lumbermen, and that retailers of the San Francisco Bay district and the Peninsula would, in his opinion, welcome the opportunity to hear and to have their salesmen hear the merits of the various woods discussed by men well fitted to do so by their training and experrence, He promised to try to get Chester Hogue, nationally known engineer of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and one of the greatest living authorities on Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, Spru,ce and Red Cedar as speaker for the first meeting. If this can be arranged Mr. Hogue will speak at a dinner to be held at the Elks Club, San Francisco, Friday evening, April ll, at 6 p.m., when all lumbermen will be welcome.
