Southern Pine in Mexican WarshiP

New Orleans, May 3.-Two splendid, stately longleai yellow pine trees, such as grace the pine forests of thc South, will constitute the towering masts ol a new warship that is being constructed by the Mexican government as an addition to the Mexican Navy.

These masts were brought to New Orleans this week in the form of undressed timbers, one 81.2 feet long,33 inches in diameter at the butt and 24 inches at the tip, and the other 80.1 feet long, 24 inches at the butt and 18 inches at the tip. Two standard-sized flat cars were required to accomodate the length of these timbers in hauling them to New Orleans from Hammond, La., where they rvere cut and furnished by the Hammond Lumber Company, from their timber holdings near that place.

The huge timbers are perfectly straight and are sound throughout rvithout a defect from butt to tip. They :are being dressed for masts at a local shipyard and later rvill be sent to the shipyard in Mexico rvhere the new warship is being built.

Delayed Shipments On Time Contracts

Last week, the Joint Arbitration Board of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association rendered a decision which should be interesting to all members, and is passed on for future guidance.

On January 25, 1924, a wholesaler placed an order for a car of lumber with a manufacturer for shipment in one rveek. When the promised shipment date had passed, car had not been shipped and did not go forward until February 15, 1924. On receipt of shipping papers, the wholesaler refused the shipment but stated he would handle it at a reduction of $3.00 per thousand, claiming he paid a premium to obtain the stock quickly.

The Arbitration Board stated in its decision that while the manufactu,rer accepted the order for shipment at a clefinite time and failed to make shipment within the time specified, the u'holesaler had not canceled the order and "that on account of failure to make cancelation of order before shipment, the wholesaler is obligated to accept shipment and pav therefor at contract price."

Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club

The May lst meeting of the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club was held under the direction qf the "California Lumber Merchaht" Los Angeles force.

Sixty-one of the boys turned out for this meeting ald it was-pronounced a success. The Snark, presided early- in the meeting. He read a communicatipn from the San Francisco elub, inviting Los Angeles members to attend the Ladies Night up there on May 3rd. He soaked fines right and left as usual, swelling the Charity {und-to q_uite a ium. He then turned the meeting over to Phil B- Hart, managing editor of this publica.tion.

PhiT fiist made a little talk about Jimmie Chase, telling the boys of Jim's change in position, and of Ais new position with tire Hiyward Lumber-& Investment Company, at -Los Angeles. Jiin is a favorite with the Los Angeles bunch.

Then Clint Laughlin was held up to scorn for a minute, and accused o-f sending his own picture to St. Louis to be printed in the Bulletin. Clint is the T,os Angele-: Scrivenoter, and is responsible.for the stories that go back to Henry Isherwood, 6ut the low down of the case is that Hart had sent this picture to be printed, and Henry did a very good job with the picture ahd story in the last issue.

Phil then told the bunch that the fines had been too small and asked for some volunteer subscriptions to save him the embarassment of having to levy them- He was showered with half dollars.

Then he explained the numbers that had been given to each man present. They held a drawing for an attendance orize. donited by the chairman, and instead of having the hrst'number thi winning, the Snark was impressed into service and was told to draw nine times, the ninth number being the lucky one to win the white shirt. Cappy Slade was-the winner and Al Hollivet won the consolation prize, a pair of cuff links.

The speaker introduced by the chairman, was Mr. Albert I. Stewirt of the Sam Seelig Company, large chain store grocer in Southern California.

- Mr. Stewart is an optimist from the word go, and he surelv did pour a lot of plain talk to the boys, telling them iust whv ihey should be in a cheerful frame of mind, wtrat Citifornia had been for years, what it had done for all kinds of merchants and what we had every reason to expect during this year. He cried down the "calamity ho^wler" and-the fellow that wasi preaching hard times. It was a very fine talk and well received.

The meeting adjourned at one-thirty.

Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Ball Team Again Victorious

The Glendale High School field was the scene of the second game of the season for the Los Angeles FIo-o H-oo Basebalf Team and they,lived up to their reputation by again swamping their opponents by !!. lop-sided score of t3 to Z. The local squad was considerably strengtheled by services of DeCalvin of the C. Ganahl Lumber Co., who not ohly held down the backstop job to perfection but was the heavy hitter of the day, garnering a two bagger, a tripple and two singles out of six trip,s to the_rub^ber; Roger Comstock of the Kerchoff-Ctzner Lumber Co. filled in the weak spot at second, polling out a double, tripl-e and single in five times up; and Cavanaugh of the J. & W. C. Shull Lumber Co. at Bell, late of the famous Fort Bragg Baseball team, who alternated with Comstock between second and right field, played errorless ball and collected three singles as his share in the massacre. Young Chas. White who haits from the Bay region worked pitcher Dotson for two walks, and a single in four times irp. Chucker Redling of the J. R. Hanify Lbr. Co. not only pitched a shutout brand of ball but collected three hiti is his portion.. Manager Bookstaver and Captain Wilson both batted 50O by each getting a double and two sinsles in six trips to the rubber. Cook of the "Mike" Bodkstaver Lbr. eo. showed wonderful improvement over the last fracas by connecting for three doubles out of the five.

The only accident of the game occurred in the third inning when second baseman Remis of the lotson squa-d tried to catch CoolC at second by taking catcher Dotson's peg in his mouth, and hoofed it to the bench with his inouttt slightly diseased. However, the game was full of excitement from beginning to end and from the brand of ball the Angeleno lfoo Hoo boys atp dishing up they will not be as easily beaten by their San Francisco and

San Die-go brethern as they might think. alone will tell.
