All humans don't look with the same degiee of admiration at our modern American miracle workings' When Lord Balfour, the great English statesman, visited-the United States, an eithusiastic guide pointed out to'him one of the highest and most modern of New York's skyscrapers. "Think of it," exclaimed the American enthusiast, "thai mighty building is absolutely and entirely fire-proof ! ft couldn't possibly burn down!" The calm Englishman gazed at it for a moment, and then was heard to murrnur very audibly: "What a pity!"
*:t*
Every now and then someone hazards the pessimistic opinion that thc future holds very little opportunity for the man of the future, because, in the great accomplishments of the irnmediate past, "everything seems to have been done." 'We've discovered the radio, flying, etc', on top of all the other human accomplishments, and the slack in human opportunity, they say, seems to be all taken up' Which reminds us that in 1833 the head of the American Patent office at Washington wanted to resign because he felt that the possibilities of human invention had been exhausted and there was no more need for his services' Yet today applications for American patents average about 90,000annually. * *
The fact is that with every decade that passes the applications for patents will increase in number and variety' And with every year that passes the opportunity for ad' vancement in human thought, and progress in human things will increase. There never was a time when there *"ri to many vital problems crying for further development. Some of these days someone is going to discover a way to cut out static in radio, and such an invention would eclipse in value any previous invention in the world's history, financially speaking. The immediate future will develop new thoughts in flying. No possible doubt of it' The great need makes the thing a certainty. Transportation fuel afrords another marvelous field for improvement' With all the brain and energy and money now invested in transportation, the best minds are constantly on the alert for absolutely revolutionizing that field. A great auto engineer recently said: "We have perfected a car that far exceeds anything in existence. If it still does by next August, we will bring it out. But no one knows what may be brought out before that time." And so it goes. The world is tooking for-and confidently expecting-miracles. There was never a time when hutnan opportunity was so great'
In the April number of National Geographic you will find some wonderful reproductions. of likenesses of George Wasnington; done from life by great artists. And the thing
that impressed me is that they don't look any more like the stereotyped pictures of the Father of our Country that have always hung in schools and libraries, than they do like Calvin Coolidge. I wonder where these streotyped pictures came from?
What a kick I got out of the Weyerhaeuser adve'rtise ment in this issue! If you had spent more than half of your life trlang to make an industry believe-through the pri'nte4 tlryewritten, and spoken word-that lurnber is MERCHANDISE and must and should be MERCHANDISED like other worth-while products, you'd understand the thrill I got. "It's Merchandise-not just lumber," says the heading. Packaged, trimmed square' ready to use, guaranteed, identified. Horrt many thousands of times I have written in these columns: "Lumber should be manufactured more slowly, more carefully, and should be sent out into the world with a selling thought, and a definite selling effort behind ever5r piece?" Last year Weyerhaeuser stepped out with their first packaged lumber. They found that it paid them handsomeln that the trade and the builder both appreciated such progressiveness. Now they are going the limit-pioneering in a wide-open field. Understand this ! Weyerhaeuser could easily cut 100 per cent more lumber in their present mills than they are cutting, if they were strictly volume-ists. "4 Square Lumber" is doing much for itself, and for the industry.
Every business -"rr, ,"l"rl"J, of his business, location, condition, or size, is necessarily cognizant of and intensely interested in, the marvelous progress of the automobile industry. If he is possessed of thinking machinery, that industry must occupy a prominent place in the operation of that machinery. A few years ago the whole world stopped and watched the auto industry with keen interest. Somehow the word had gone out that the auto industry had reached its saturation point, and was up against a stone wall. What would happen? How would they solve that problem of all problems? What would become of the used cars? How could the world go on with this huge expense anylonger? * * :B
And pretty soon we found that it was all a myth. There isn't any saturation point. There wasn't any stone wall. The problem was just a hurdle that they took at full speed, and were going faster after they lit. Today, with several times as many cars in use, and several times as many being produced, the auto industry hasn't a single serious hurdle in its path-to say nothi"f, ol "*-"11. Why?

The men who are making that industry go, aren't the well dressed salesmen in YOUR town, who sell to YOU and YOUR fellow citizens. The driving force behind the auto industry is away back there, back of the factories even, where engineers, and architects, and develo,pment men of all sorts are working out the new ideas that make people buy. New ideas in colors, new ideas in riding qualities, new ideas in performance' new ideas in service, new ideas along all the lines that appeal to human DESIRETHAT'S where the auto business is being created ! That's where the selling is really being done. YOU wouldn't trade in your car for a new one just like it. You would drive it for years first. But along comes that new model, It has things your present car hasn't, even though your car is only six months old. There are things that appeal. Every department is improved. New color combinations. New luxuries. New qualities that fairly bite you. It's won'lerful how a new car can overcome your senses of economv, of necessity, or wisdom. And you BUY ! Not because'of the smooth salesman who handles the car. But because of those men who are every month creating something NEW in cars that appeals to you-and to you-and to all the other you's. ,1. * tf
THAT'S what I'm talking about when I say that the lumber industry is entirely without its most necessarv funCamental. I had a letter from one man disagreeing with me when I say that the lumber industry needed more than anything else an engineering, architectural, testing, Proving department, and HASN'T ANY. He called my attention to the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, and the Government Bureau of Standards. Which simply illus-

trates how far off is the lumber idea of necessary things' It's a fact that we have means for discovering the stresse$ and strains of lumber, and prqving its physical qualities' Which interests the consumer and appeals to his dollars a lot. I'm sure ! But what have we in line with this concentration of brains and energy which the auto industry uses to create new ideas in the completed article that makes people buy? Anything?'Well, not that anyone has heard of ! * rt tl.
The great fund of money that is being contributed by the manufacturing industry to the National Lumber Manufacturers Associition should be spent primarily in this wayl The National is the natural medium to do this work' Itf should have a corps of men, just as the auto industry hasf ';,rorking out ideas, plans, that can be made from woodi that will make those who build and who live in buildingS tingle with the desire for ownership, just as the auto engineering department does every weelr of every year in THEIRbusiness'
My personal opinion is that one red-hot building idea and plan, placed in the hands of the dealers of the country' that would make the housewife exclaim with delight just as she does when she sees or tries some of the everlasting new refinements and luxuries that come in the endless succession of new cars, would sell more lumber and bring more renolt'n to the lumber industry than all the other trade promotion activities now in progress in the country in this business, combined. If they only dug up fouq new building thoughts a year-one every quarter-they would re-make the industrY.
Is it too much to ask of the lumber industry-that we follow the example of practical and successful folks who are actually eating our vitals out with their back-of-thefactory salesmanship. Most sawmill money is spent just selling one another, and keeping The Curtis Publishing Company in the list of financial immortals.

Alfred F. Smith has just been elected chairman of the executive committee of the Monolith Portland Cement Company and rvill be the chief executive' for that concern on ttie Pacific Coast, according to announcement today -by Coy Burnett, president of the- orga-nization' The election took place at the regular meeting of the board of directors'
Although the new official has become one o{ the largest stockhold"ers of the Monolith company' no change of ownership or control has resulted as a result of the election, Mr. Burnett explained. Because of expansion plans of the concern, including the opening last .fanuary of a- new $2,000,000 plant at I-aramie, Wyo', the president said p.resent executiv'es are being obligecl -to spend considerable time in other sections, parti-cularly the Eist, and it has been found advisable to seiect a man to devote all his time to the Pacific Coast. The new position has just been created.
The new plant at Liramie is operated !y -the Monolith Portland Miiwest Companv, controlled and officered by the same interests that own tfe Californid corporation, and it was announced that Mr. Smith also has become interested extensively in the I\[idwest company.
There probably is no better knorvn business man in the Northr,veit than -Mr. Smith. For many -v*ears he had been in the steel, lumber and building bdsiness in Portland, Ore', 'lvhere he has employed as many as 12,000 men at a single time. He was treia bi the Smith & Watson Iron Works of Portland, president of the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation, and was extensively interested in logging and papir rnill machinery manufacturing business. Following his retirement from business in Portland he traveled extensively in this country and Europe, and last year took up his permanent residence in Beverl)' Hills.

Owing to the growth of their busiriess on the San Francisco side of the bay, the Chicago Lumber Co. of Washington have established headquarters in the new Building Material Exhibit at 557 Market Street, San Francisco.
The permanent exhibit of the cornpany's products and office there is in charge of Lloyd V. G4aham, who will spend the greater part of his time calling on architects and con-' tractors.
Located right in the heart of the city the exhibit which features sand etched panels, plaques and doors, has already attracted a lot of attention from prospective home builders, architects, contractors and lumber dealers.
Mr. Graham told a representative of this paper that since the Chicago Lumber Co. of Washington decided after a long period of research work to add a sand etching department to their big plant in Oakland, they have found the possibilities along this line much greater than they had believed.
Most of the panels on show are of vertical grain Redwood and Douglas Fir, and it is interesting to note the different effects obtained by using an identical design on panels of the same wood, but with a difference in the grain, and also by using the same design on several kinds of wood.
Among the popular designs. are the Covered Wagon, Spanish Galleon and other ship subjects, George Washington, etc., but while there is a large variety of stock designs, any special design required can be supplied. Beautiful effects, are gained by the use of stain and by hand coloring in oils.
A picture of an artistic Douglas Fir door sand etched panels bearing the Spanish Galleon with insert design appeared in a recent issue of this paper.

Titus and Bowe also outlined the work of their respective organizations, and the services being rendered to the distributor of lumber.
The members of this club have been strong advocates for the segregation of grades and grade-marking on lumber, believing that the consumer is entitled to know what he is buying and paying for.
The next meeting of the club will be held on the evening of May 7 at Hemet, Calif., and all lumbermen are invited.

Mr. Kendall started his lumber career with T. W. Jackson in Middleport, New York, who operated yards han-dling White Pine pioducts. Upon his arrival on the Pacific Coast in 1912, he Secame assoclated with the Hammond Lumber Company and remained with this company until the outbreak of the World War, when he went into the government service and acted as foreman of the Los Angeles Ship Building and Dry Dock Co. at San Pedro. At the close of the war, he was appointed secretary of the Retail Lumber Dealers' Association at Long Beach, California, and he also served as a director of the Retail Lumber Dealer's Association of Southern California. In 1922, he became Southern California manager for the Wilson Bros. Co.
The Sugar Pine Lumber,Company is one of the largest White and Sugar Pine manufacturers on the Pacific Coast, with an annual produbtion of approximately 200,000,000 feet.
After an absence of nineteen years, O. J. Evenson, wellknown Pacific Coast lumberman, has again assumed charge of the Benson Lumber Co. plant at San Diego.

Mr. Evenson has been connected. with the lumber business for over forty years and before coming to the Pacific Coast was a lumber manufacturer in Wisconsin. He was the builder of the first log raft towed from the Columbia River in Oregon to San Diego, twenty-three years ago, and had the pleaJure and experiince of making the trip on the tug which towed the raft down so that he might see how this "monster" behaved on the briny deep.
Since 1906, the Benson Lumber Co. has towed to San Diego from the Columbia River, a timber stand of over 7000 acres. This stand cruised over 6O,000 board feet per acre, or a total of approximately 4N,Wp00 feet of timber, all of which has been manufactured over 1000 miles from its source. A good deal of this lumber has gone into special timbers which has been' consumed in California.
Mr. Evanson is not only a director of the Benson Lumber Co. of San Diego, but is also general manager and director of the Bensop Timber Co. interests located at Clatskanig Oregon. He will continue to be assisted in the operation of the timber business at Clatskanie by his son, Willard T. Evenson, rvho is rvell known in the Pacific Northwest.
HE cowan Plan service Department is maintained for the express purpos€ of helping you sell more built-in cabinets. Just consider tfiat these trained men are working for you, and that their years of experience are subject at any time to your call for plans and layouts of built-in cabinet work. When a builder comes in to price the lumber for a job, remember that you can make far more profit if you also sell him the built-in cabinets. Find out his requirements and tell him that you will prepare detailed layouts and plans for all the built. in cabinet work. No figuring or ordedng the mill work for him to do-he can forget it.
Thetr you turn the job over to our plan service Department and in a few days you have a complete working layout to show him. V/ith this concrete evidmce of real senrice, your chance of selling the builder his built-in cabinets is increased ten-fold, and it does not cost you a penny.
rn adition to thisr-you have all the excellent talking points on Cowan Standardized Built'in Cabinets.

(This is the second of a series of articles on Termite Damage Prevention which will appear in the California Lumber Merchant. These articles are intended for retailers, millwork firms, and distributors primarily. It is hoped that information contained in these articles will also prove valuable and worth passing on to their customers.)
In article No. I was mentioned some features of clearing the ground, whether it be for a retail lumber yard or foi a d*elling, to prevent termite damage. When the ground has been cleared of brush, wood chips and paper, ind has been levelled it is well to spray the ground surface with a solution which will kill the insects. Effective poisons for this purpose are a 10 per cent solution of sodium arsenite; 1 part coal-tar creosote and 3 parts kerosene oil (this mixturi should be strained through burlap before' use) ; carbon-disulphide emulsion, which is on the market ready for use and ortho-dichlorobenzene. A thor'ough saturation of the soil is necessary to make this treatment effective.
A simple method to determine the presence of termites in the soil is to plant trap stakes in the soil. If these are attacked, carbon'disulphide should be poured into the stake hole, protected by a layer of paper and then covered with dirt. -Care should be taken in handling this volatile fluid as the gas or vapor from it is highly inflammable. and explosive-when mixed with air in certain- proportion-s-; no llame should be brought near it and the fumes should not be inhaled as they are poisonous.
The subterranean termite needs a moisture supply to continue its work. Usually it obtains moisture from the ground. Hence, if the tube the termite has built is permanEntly disconnected from the ground it will die. If wood whiih has become infested has been in direct contact with the ground it should be destroyed. If wood is again used

to replace the destroyed material it is apparent that adequate measures must be made to prevent the recurrence or d"*"g.. If at all possible the wbod should be placed. on .onorEt., rock, or brick foundations made with standard grades oi mortar, or suitably capped, and metal shields put 6n to shut off tire termite -tubes-' Dr. T. E. Snyder, Entomologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, has recommen?ed provisions for building codes for insuring protection from termites and decay ivhere termite damage is extensive. These include "Wobd or fiber products, when not impregnated with an approved preservative, s-hall not be plaied-in contact with ihe earti or within 18 inches thereof, excepting wood columns or.posts over a concrete floor, which cohimns shall be provided with non-corroding metal or concrete base plateJ or footings p i.nc!e-s above thi floor. This applies to steps, which shall be laid over a concrete base; iriojecting a[ least 6 inches beyond the supports of the st1ps."
As up-to-date building codes of today-provide..for continuouiconcrete or masonry foundations for dwellings it- i-s seen that Dr. Snyder's recbmmendations are in line with good practice in building construction.
--ettnlugtt Dr. Snyder iecommends treated lumber it is not generilly availaLle in the market here at this time' Until sich time as it becomes available certain untreated species, if all-heartwood and sound, will be used.
Where we use considerable redwood here on the coast it is interesting to note a test of a termite-resistant species of wood c6nducted by the United States DepartTent of Agriculture under Dr' Snyder's supervision in the PaniiaTiiat Zo"e. On Barro-Colorado Island during April, L927, several buildings and a tower we-re erected of a special erade of close grained all-heart redwood' An examination"on July 13, 1918, revealed no penetration of the wood by termites.

An exchange of professors in the field of forest utilization has been approved by the University of California and by Cornell University-probably the first time an exchange of professors has been effected in an American school of forestry. The principals are Professors Emanuel Fritz and A. B. Recknagel. The former has been at the University of California since 1919, teaching wood technology and lum. bering. Professor Recknagel has been at Cornell University since 1913 and is now teaching wood technology, forest utilization and forest management.
fProfessor Recknagel obtained his undergraduate degrec from Yale College in 1904 and his master's degree from the Yale Forest School in 1906. Prior to taking up teaching at Cornell, he was a member of the staff of the U. S. Forest Service, first in the Southwestern District and .until 1907, and then in the Washington office on timber sale work, later as chief of the section of timber reconnaissance. fn December, 19O8, he returned to the Southwest as Assistant District Forester, remaining until October, 191 1, when he began a year of graduate study in Europe. Professor Recknagel is secretary of the Empire State Forest Products Association, and is the author of two texts-"The Theory and Practice of Working Plans," and, with J. Bentley and C. H. Guise, "Forest Management." Of popular books he has written "The Forests of New York State" and (with S. N. Spring) "Forestry," now in press.
Professor Fritz obtained his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at Cornell in 1908, after which he became an instructor in the Baltimore Polvtechnic Institute, and rvas employed variously in the engineering departments of several steel manufacturing companies. He entered the Yale School of Forestry in 1912, graduating in 1914. Thereupon he joined the U. S. Forest Service and later entered military service, commanding an Air Corps school squadron overseas for one and one-half years. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the Tournal of Forestry, and of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Bofh men are members of the Society of American Foresters.
Professor Recknagel comes to California for the fall semester of l9D, and Professor Fritz r'r'ill be at Cornell for the spring semester of 1930.

That the woodworking industry as a whole has neglected the selling end of their business, is something that will not be denied by any thinking person bngaged.in it, and -all will admit the necessity of revising old methods of doing things and keeping up with the modern merchandising parade.
Much has been done on the matter of production. Attention has been given to the subject of keeping costs. Accounting, trade associations, and price listing have been given a great deal of attention, but undoubtedly the most Important phase of modern management is in need of serious attention.
Sales promotion and trade extension are the more serious problemi which confront the millwork industry today. Merchandising millwork is not a simple process but is rather a complicated method.
The ultimate consumers of this commodity are certainly those who use it and work with it. This means the occupants of the homes, the apartment houses, the hotels or other buildings. Speaking more particularly of the horyes and apartments I would say that the consumers of this commodity are the housewives in the community. Surely they are ihe ones to be pleased. They are the ones who strould understand the advantages and disadvantages of every featgre. Without a thorough understanding of the possibilitiei, little can be accomplished in creating sales. -Especially since the making of i sale consists, mainly of the creation of a desire to possess and use' A desire must be created in the hearts of consumers for our products, in the hearts of men and women who live in the homes, apartments and hotels. Definite work along sales promotion lines is necessary to create this desire.
This means {he expenditure of time and money, but above all, intelligent thinking and acting, especially of a co-operative nature.
A- study of the problem will convince anyone that the architect,-the contrictor, the builder and the lumber dealer are really only channels of trade, or dealer representatives for the ultimate consumers.
The dealer of today is in reality the purchasing representative of his community, client or customer. The millworkers are manufacturers, and it is better to market our products through channels that are already set up such as the retail lumber dealer and others'
All jobs whether in homes or buildings should.be followed ihrough, inspected, and above all, sufficient interest should be talen in-each outstanding job to photograph it, and proper drawings rrrade to use in sales promotion activity. This could be done on a co-operative basis for the arch-itectural millwork part of the trade. Special commodi-
ties and trade marked products no doubt need to be handled specificallv and individually
Instiad of leaving the selling job up to the builder, contractor or architecf the sales promotion work should be carried on by the manufacturer. At least to such an extent that the manufacturer will be in close touch and if possible, control the marketing. The adoption of this plan will soon correct many price evils.
The use oi itte Certified Millwork Plan of the Institute appears to me to be one of the most ptogressive step.s ever taken by the industry as this establishes standards of-quality and methods whiih are required nowadays to satisfy the consumer.
Standardization and orderly procedure will help to ge-t us all to the point we desire irovided the consumer is sufficiently eduiated and trained to know, understand and appreciate this commoditY.
'Why shouldn't they appreciate it? A commod-ity that goes to make up a large p-eicentage of every home. In many iooms or partJ of the building millwork is the most consoicuous iart of the room. We are all manufacturing a clmmoditv which is much needed but little appreciated'
It is not appreciated because the manufacturer has not taken the int'eiest to create a condition of understanding' Much of the woodwork in many of our homes and apartments is left to the whims of the carpenter for designing' Hand made, carpenter built products are as much out of date as shoes made by a cobbler today.
Coupled with modern merchandising methods modern factory methods have completely revolutionized the shoe business. These same methods will revolutionize the millwork business.
Now this change in method need not hurt. nor destroy the opportunity of other craftsmen such as- the carpenter as it did not destroy the opportunity of the shoe maker, for we have today many more prosperous cobblers and shoe repair men in business (and better business, too), than ever before.
The advent of the vacuum cleaner did not destroy nor do away with the use of the carpet sweeper' ju-st-as the carpet i*eepe. did not do away with the use of the oldfashioned brbom. More brooms, more carpet sweepers and more vacuum cleaners are sold today than ever before in the history of our country. So progress does not destroy opportunity.
In addition to the opportunity of supplying millwork which is now carpenter built or hand made, there is another (Continued on Page 30)

I am sorry if a portion of this article savors of autobiography but it is all part of the record, and again some ambitious young reader, sans capital, may desire to go into business on his own account, and he will learn just how it can be done. A11 it needs is a little nerve and self-confidence and he is bound to succeed, provided of course the gods are with him.
After I severed my connection with the Western Lumber Company, I was a rolling stone for a number of years and certainly "gathered no moss." I had a short experience in San Francisco working as assistant bookkeeper rvith the old San Francisco Lumber Company, one of the office men being young Loop, who afterwards organized the Loop Lumber Company in San Francisco. I soon returned to Los Angeles and was fortunate enough to secure a job with the Perry Lumber Company managing a branch vard at Chino where the Oxnard's were installing a sugar factory. They afterwards transferred me to the University 1'ard here. near the University of Southern California, but after six months this yard was discontinued for want of patronage. I then traded a few real estate equities left over from the boom, for stock in a lumber mill plant on the Columbia River, doing a rail shipment business and took a position with them as bookkeeper and afterwards as traveling salesman.
In the spring of. 1892 they sent me to Denver where I represented them and several other coast concerns in the Colorado territory. I had worked up a nice business when the panic came on, all my customers went broke, and I moved to Ka'rsas City for a time, returning to Los Angeles late in the vear. I was unable to get work here and borrowed enough money from my good friend James Murray to take me up to Oregon where I made arrangements similar to the previous year, and went to Omaha which I had selected as a good field for operation.
I had again worked up a nice business when a combination of floods on the Columbia River preventing Eastern shipment and railroad strikes and drought in Kansas and Nebraska, put my business on the kibosh and I returned to Los Angeles just a year from the time I had left it, busted, but determined this time to stick it out here.
I looked around for a job but the only encouragement I received was from Patten & Davies Lumber & Fuel Company in Pasadena which had been started by Mr. Patten, father of the Patten boys. and Ed. Davies. I worked for them for two weeks paying my railroad fare back and forth, when Mr. Patten paid me off at the rate of $2.50 a day.
Patten & Davies started two yards in Los Angeles, one at Second and San Pedro Streets and the other on West Jefferson. Ed. Davies retired, selling his interest to the Patten boys, and under the efficient management of Heniy Patten this company has developed to its present status.
I therefore made up my mind it was time for me to go into business on my own account and I secured some mlll
agencies, and was probably the first broker to establish himself in Los Angeles.
My first office was in the old Wilson Block at First and Spring -Streets where I paid some court reporters $3.00 a month for the privilege of using one of theii desks. I afterwards moved to the Bryson Bloik, purchased a second hand desk and paid Judge Pierce 95.00 a month for office space. Later on, I moved to the Stimson Block and was able to occupy a whole office by myself.
f soon found that I could make more money buying and selling, having made the acquaintance of manufaclur6rs in the Northwest who were willing to extend me credit, and my previous experience in Los Angeles and as traveling salesman were advantageous. My first shipment was a mixed car of Oregon pine from Portlancl which I stored in the Naud warehouse and peddled out in small lots. I succeeded in working up a car load shipment business in the San Joaquin valley, and in Arizona and New Mexico. I also made shipments of hardwood lumber and flooring from the East which was stored in Davies' warehouse. -I began to dip into the retail trade, carrying a stock of flooring ald redwood shingles and also selling house bills whenever I could induce the wholesalers to fill an order. I had hard sledding at first, through lack of capital and it was a happy day when John J. Fay, President of the Citizens Bank, extended me credit for 91000 and Mr. Hall of the Davies' warehouse offered to pay the freight on car load shipments. Later on, I rented a small loi on the corner of Fourth and San Pedro, moving my small stock from the warehouse to this location.
About the year 1900 I associated myself with Mr. Mullin who was then operating a yard at Jerome, Arizona. I put in my small Los Angeles business, and he the Jerome yird and a small amount of cash, the total invesiment being under $20,000. We rented another lot on Third and San Pedro and started operations. Our only employees at the start were Charles Griffin, rvho remain"a *iitt us until we discontinued business and who is now operating a yard at Artesia and whose services to us werC invaluabie; our other employee was Mr. Ingles who. I believe, is now time keeper for the Hammond Lumber Company.
Mr. Mullen had an experience similar to my own. He came to Los Angeles shortly after I did, securid a position with the San Pedro Lumber Company at San Pedro and afterwards managed a yard for them at-Pasadena, and when I first knew him was in the office of the L. W. Blinn Lumber Company under Mr. Blinn, leaving there to locate in Jerome. 'We were lucky in getting started at this time as Los Angeles was on the up-hill grade, and we started adding branch yards to our business that finally numbered ten yards, and also acquired the E. K. Wood yard at Redondo, (Continued on Page 24)

In 1918 we disposed of our business to Patten and Davies, retaining the Hollywood, Prescott and Jerome yards, and Mr. Mullen is also associated with his sons in three other yards tributary to Los Angeles.
While I was in the Bryson Block I had my first meeting with James Schults. Schults got his start in life while acting as yard salesman in the retail yard of E. K. Wood at San Francisco. The E. K. Wood Company later sent him to Redondo to help install their yard there. W. T. Wheatley had drifted into my office and invited me to go to Redondo with him to see "Jimmy" Schults. I found "Jimmy" down on his knees straightening out foundations and cussing the man who put them in. Another meeting with Mr. Schults occurred a number of years later at the same place. He was manager of the yard, and I was president of the company, that he had just sold the yard to and lve were there taking inventory.
Upon my return to Los Angeles from my Eastern experiences, I found quite a few changes had occurred during my three years' absence, a number of new yards starting, and some of the older ones discontinued. The Stimson Mill Co: had established a large yard on East Third Street in charge of Ezra Stimson, the first manager being a Mr. Clark who was succeeded by Jesse Ives, a very energetic man who had charge of the Stimson Mill at Seattle after the yard here was closed and who become blind but was in active charge of the mill for a good many years before he died.
The Willamette Lumber Co. had established yards at Redondo and Los Angeles. Inman, Paulsen and Co. established a yard, which was afterwards sold to the Blinn-Robinson Company but later discontinued.
About the year 1900, L. W. Blinn made his first appearance in Los Angeles, having come from Tombstone where he operated-a yard owned by the Hooper interests until the town collapsed. Mr. Blinn took the position as manager of the San Pedro Lumber Company vacated by Mr. Merrick Reynolds, who was for many years manager of this company and was recognized as one of the leading men in the lumber industry in Southern California.
Mr. Blinn was also manager of the L. W. Blinrr Lum-

ber Company owned by the Hooper interests who had acquired the Davies-Henderson Lumber Company and operated a yard on Third near San Pedro. Mr. Blinn was a leading figure in the lumber industry here for a great many years until his final retirement. He severed his connection with the Hooper interests after a time, Mr. Driscoll succeeding him as manager of the L. W. Blinn Lumber Company and T. L. Ely, as manager of the San Pedro Co., which position he still occupies. Mr. Blinn afterwards organized the South Western Lumber Co. and the Blinn-Robinson Co. and later on operated a mill on the Columbia River. He died a ferv months ago.
Among my early customers was Perry Whiting of the Whiting & Mead Company. Perry started as a small contractor and got his start by taking a contract to wreck the old Methodist Church on Broadway. lle needed a place to pile his lumber and was lucky enough to purchase a large piece of property in the rear of the Pacific Electric building rvhere he first started his lumber business. I supplied him rvith shingles and flooring in carload lots and also sold him material on his contracts. Mr. Huntington wanted his property for extra trackage and he sold it to him at a good price.
E. J. Stanton was my only competitor when I first started in business, coming here from Williams, Atizona, and selling lumber and boxes and making a specialty of yellow and sugar pine and all kinds of hardwood.
He pursued a very successful policy of taking the exclusive agency for the best mills. He forged rapidly ahead, developing a fine business which is norv operated by his son Roy.
I could pursue these reminiscences indefinitely, but space is limited and I will close by saying that it was the policy of the Montgomery & Mullen Lumber Company to conduct business on an ethical basis, only establishing branch yards where they appeared to be needed and without infringing on our competitors, and I trust that we have left a record nearly equal to that of the other old stand-bys, such as Kerckhoff-Cuzner and Ganahl Lumber Company, rvho always held the confidence and esteem of the other lumber dealers for their high standards of business ethics.

Last Year more than 18'O0O,0OO feet of a similar item were sold but lumber dealers didn't get a solitary foot of the business . . . theY had nothing to ofrer to this rich market!
The new product will give lumber dealers the inside track to even greater sales volume . . it will be the most important item ever placed on the dealer's shelves to complete his line of roofings.
The demand will be so great for this new item that it will have to be allotted to dealers until production schedules have been sufficiently increased to catch up with orders.
And don't forget this . . . it will be another of the patented products which will be absolutely controlled on the Pacific Coast by Pioneer Paper Company, fnc. . . . another fast selling item that will be disributed by Pioneer dealers only!
You'll know all about it soon! Watch for the announcement!
Set July l, 1929, as Date When Lumber Vill Be Available in Retail Lumber Yards in Southern Cdifornia in Segregated Grades and in Accordance Vith Amencan Lumber Standards.
Resolutions reaffirming the action of the various lumbermen's clubs of Southern California in favor of grademarked lumber, and setting July 1, 1929, as the date on which lumber will be available in retail lumber yards in Southern California in accordance with American -Lumber Standards and in segregated grades, and that the practice of selling mixed grades of common lumber will be discontinued after that date, were adopted at the meeting of the Southern District of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association at the Alexandria Hotel, Los Angeles, on Saturday, April 6.
Following luncheon, over 25O lumbermen convened in the Assembly Room of the hotel for the business session. Paul Hallingby presided.
Bill 786, which app_lies to Section 1183 regarding contractor built jobs, would require hard work to secure their passage and they urged all lumbermen to help out in every way possible.
In opening the discussion of Grade-Marking and the Segregation of Grades in accordance with American Lumber Standards, Kenneth Smith, secretary of the Lumber Dealers' Association of Los Angeles, stated that these matters had already been adopted by the State Association and the various lumbermen's clubs of Southern California and it was just a question as to whether or not the dealers of Southern California wanted to set a date to carry out the previous resolutions.
L. A. Nelson, Portland, Oregon, Grading Rules Commit-
Frank Gibbs, Anaheim, chairman of the State Association Cement Committee for the Southern California district, reported on the activities of his committee and what had been accomplished in several confetrences with the cement manufacturers.
R. A. Emison, Santa Ana, chairman of the State Association Roofing Committee for the Southern California district, reported on the results of conferences with the roofing manufacturers. Following Mr. Emison's report, there was a general discussion in which the dealers from the various sections of Southern California expressed their approval on the good work that was being done by the committee. A motion made by A. E. Fickling of Long Beach favoring the lines on which the committee was working and confirming Mr. Emison's report, rvas unanimously adopted.
Dudley Chandler, secretary of the Los Angeles Building Material Dealers' Credit Association, and C. W. Pinkerton, Whittier, chairman of the Legislative Committee of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, reported on the various bills before the state legislature in which the lumbermen are interested. They reported that Assembly Bills 787, 789,790 and 791 had already passed the Assembly and Senate Judiciarv Committee. and were now before the Senate. They stated that Assembly Bill88, which amends Section 1186 and applies to owner built jobs, and Assembly
tee of the West Coast I-umbermen's Association, in stating the position of his association, said that the movement comes in the right way as it comes through the retailer, also that it reflects the desire to merchandise on a better basis. He stated that the nerv Association grading rules rvould be out June I and that changes have been made to meet the California demands. Mr. Nelson said that the Association was trying to work in with the California prog'ram, that they were ready to put in an inspector in this market to advise and work with the officials for the proper lnterpretation of the grades, and he assured the dealers that they could count on the Association 100 per cent.
In putting the plan into effect, Kennetti Smith stated that the West Coast Lumbermen's Association is preparing sales literature advising that the change is coming aboui why the American Lumber Standards were adopted, its advantages to the consumer, changed sizes, etc. In the I os Angeles district, he stated that a nerv price list will be issued carrying the prices of No. 1, No. 2 ind, No. 3 Common, also an explanation of what the grades are will be included in the list.
R. T. Titus, field representative of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, stated that he would be in the Los

"Not until we initiate instead of imitate. and set our minds and energies to the task of originating suitable styles for our country, can we hope for real architecture in America, architecture that will persist unaffected by transient fads and fancies, architecture that will fulfill its purpose and justify its use," is the way the architect states the purpose for which he consistently bends his energies, the establishing of a distinctively American type of building, particularly a California type.
Among the products of the architect's mind is the town of Santa Fe Rancho, it was pointed out, and the torvn of Ojai, nestled in the hills back of Ventttra, in addition to many magnificent homes up and down the coast.
"In our nerv book we have endeavored to furnish ideas and details of practical use in present day American architecture in the localities where favorable conclitions for their utilization prevail," is one of the quotations from the foreword of the publication. "It is hoped that they rvill stimulate imagination and suggest ideas appropriate to modern design rather thau encourafie mere imitative lvork."

Below is shown the duty to be placed on lumber- bY;the new Japanese lumber tarifi. The figures and classificdti6ns "t" b".led on cable reports, and are r'eproduced subject: to possible cable errors. -Official documents cgv91i1S th:.pjooosed tarifi rates are expected to arrive in the United States 6ii an earlv boat. The figures quoted by the West Coast iumbermen's Association will 6e checked against official papers as soon as these are available.
The figures below also were reported in the March 30 issue of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association News Letter. Cabled information received by the Seattle office of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce since these figures were publiihed bring out the following point, which covers a mislnterpretation of an earlier cable:
"Port Orford cedar rates are the same as yellow cedar." Prior to receipt of this interpretation yellow cedar had been included in tie division with spruce, rvhite fir, white pine and larch. The correction has been made in the material below.
The tarifi, the Association has been informed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, is applicable to all countries, Lumber sent to Japan from Siberia and other sources takes the same tariff rates as lumber of the same species imported from the United States.
The duty, according to cabled advices, is as follows: (Duty in Dollars Per M B M-Exch1ffi

f'he value of timlter cut fron.r the national forests of the California district (California and southwestern Nevada) amounted to $1.037.638 in the calendar year 1928, according to T. Dl Woodbury, assistant district forester in charge of the office of forest management in the United States, Forest Service headquarters at San Francisco. This total is a 15 per cent increase over the 1927 receipts, and is the hrst time that the revenue from timber sales in the national forests of California has exceeded one rnillion dollars. The total cut of national forest tirnber Anrounted to 333 million feet.
Of the total receipts fronr timber sales approximately $130,000 was applied in the exchange of private lands within the national forests. Tirnber sold at cost of administration to farmers and settlers for use in their lands totalled $1,114.
The largest amount of timber, 87 millior-r feet, was cut on the Sierra National Forest, headquarters North Fork, Madera Co., ltut the largest reyellLte, $254,000 rvas derived from the Stanislaus National Forest with headquarters at Sonora. The principal timber operator on this forest is the Pickering Lumber Company, with large miiling plants at Standard City and Tuolumne. The Lassen National Forest, with headquarters at Susanville, ranks second in point of value of cut, with a timber revenue of $246,000. The principal timber purchasers on the Lassen Forest are the Fruit Growers Supply Company and the Lassen Lumber and Box Company, both with rnilling plants at Susdnville.
The amount of tim;ber covered in contracts of sale consummated [y the Forest Service in California during the past year was approximately 670 million feet, of whichover 600 million feet is located on the Modoc National Forest in northeastern California.

Twenty-five per cent of all receipts from the sale of timber in the national forests is returned to the state for distribution to counties in which the forests are located, for use in the construction and development of roads and trails. This return by the Federal government is in lieu of taxes on national forest lands.
