S. A., lying Sbuth East fiom China. The name Kolambugan is of i'ative origin and means "l?.rgg Jorest land." As only bands of thl wild natives, called Moros, roamed through this tract of country the forests are virgin and the lumber to be obtained is 6f tne highest quality. Up to the time of the establishment of lumber camp and mill, the attitude of the Moros rvho con- trolled this territory, was very hostile. At first, protection had to be obtained from the Constabularv. but tire civiliz- ing influence of this commercial enterpiise has been re- markable. The Moros have given up their warlike habits to take up the opportunities-of labour and trade offered them, and are now good citizens.

Bob Osgood Leaves for New York

The splendid reception that the Laminex door has re_ ceived in Eastern markets has necessitated the ope.rine of a branch warehouse in New york City, by the'Wt "Ef.r: Osgood Company of Tacoma, large maiufjcturers .i ;;r-li and doors.

For many years past the Wheeler, Osgood Company has had a tremendous business in and around the New York territory, but since the launching of a National Advertising Campaign something orrer i year ago, coupled with the producti,on of the Laminex door whJch becime famous overnight, due to its ability to stand any amount of moisture, heat or climatic changes without ihtiitking, swe.lling, warping or twisting, the 6usiness has been inuTtrphed many times. Now it has grown to such an eitent that it has been decided to carry i large stock of Wheeler, Osgood products in the center oi tnis ictivity.

^ In the past,the only warehouse maintained by Wheeler, Osgood has_ been in- Los Angeles with Bob bsgood in charge. Bob's experience in this warehouse is winted to assist, in the organization of the New York branch, and a few days ago he left for probably two months' stay in the eastern cttv.

Bob has become so rvedded to Southern California that h.e voiced keen regret at having to leave for even a short ttme, but gave assurance that he would be back on the job in Los Angeles at the earliest possible moment.

-D-uriqS his absence D. G. MacDougall will be in charge of the Southern California territory. - All during the tirie that Bob 9sgood has been in California MacD-ougall has been his able assistant and all those who know Mi know 9!at he. will purvey the finest grade of service to Wheeler, usgood customers.

The national advertising campaign conducted by Wheeler, Osgood has been watc-hed witlithe greatest inierest by everyone in the sash and door and allied industries, for ii is the first National campaign ever attempted by a fir door manufacturer. Their success has been much greater than was anticipated in their fondest dreams, and their sales have been tremendously increased by advertising. Their record-is a splendid illustration of the fact thatlny pro- duct of merit backed by a well-planned advertising clmpaign carried in proper mediums-can't help but atta-in and maintain its proplr place in any industry. -

County Forester Addresses Los Angeles Hoo Hoo

W. B. Wickersham, Secretary of the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club, was chairman at the April $th meeting, at which about fifty of the boys were in attendance.

Wick introduced Mr. S. T. Flintham, County Forester. Mr. Flintham holds a number of other county positions in Los Angeles County, being County Firewarden and Chief of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

He addressed the meeting on the Reforestation work that is being done in Southern California, urging all lumbermen to use their influence in the furtherance of this most important work. Mr. Flintham's account of the lumbering in the Southern California mountains, years ago, was most interesting.

Paul Kent, of the Hayward Lumber & Investment Company, sang a number of songs, and Ed. Culnan lead the meeting in some community singing.

Rollins A. Browne won the attendance prize.

Dave Woodhead made a motion that the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club invite Mr. Flintham to attend another meeting, in the near future, and that this meeting be devoted entirely to a discussion of the County's water supply problem, and to the Reforestation work that is being done. The motion was passed, and the date of this meeting will be announced latbr.
