When hearings in the case of the Charles Nelson Co. and Nelson Steamship Co. were resumed in San Francisco May 11 the court indicated that it will appoint a permanent trustee for the two companies before hearings resume on May 15.
The trustee will succeed to the position norv held by Homer W. Bunker, named as president of the companies several weeks ago, who first recommended such an appointment in his report.
U. G. Richards of Oakland, former assistant manager of E. K. Wood Lumber Co., was suggested for the position of trustee.
Carl Bahr, former assistant secretary of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, who was asked by the directors of the California Redwood Association to take charge of the activities of the Association, arrived in San Francisco, May 5, to assume his new duties.
R. W. Dalton has opened a wholesale lumber office at 315 West 9th Street, Los Angeles, operating under the name of R. W. Dalton & Co.
Mr. Dalton is widely known in lumber circles in Southern California and Arizona. He represented the L. W. Blinn Lumber Co. in Arizona for a long period, and when they consolidated with the Patten-Davies Lumber Co. he continued as Arizona representative for the Patten-Blinn Lumber Co. He returned to Los Angeles in 1932, and since that time worked out of their Los Angeles office.

Not long ago I used most of my Vagabond space in one issue discussing the progress being made by the railroads in improving their public service. Since that time I have listened to a very up-standing railroad executive deliver a most forceful public address in which he plead for release of the railroads from crippling rules, regulations, and legislation which, he said, have long been ham-stringing the rails, and threatening their final destruction.
I very much agree with this railroad man. lfowever, I'm inclined to think that what the railroads need is prodding of a different character; prodding that will force them to go permanently into the business of searching out and creating improvements in their own business. For the railroads have been of that often discussed class of people who stand so close to the trees that they cannot see the forest. Most of their progress has come from people entirely outside their own ranks, business, and profession. rF
The eight greatest strides the railroads made in the nineteenth century-the telegraph, the sleeping car, the autornatic-$ock signd system, the air brake, the refrigerator car,'lhe automatic ear coupler, the vestibule bufrer, and the electric locomotiv+-were all created by people far removed',from railroad service. fsn't that interesting?
Thgy used to couple their cars together with the primitive link and pin method, which started and stopped and ran the trains vvith torturing jolts. Eli H. Janney, a clerk in a dry goods store, saw that something had to be done about it, so he created and patented the first automatic car coupler.
tF**
A school teacher named Moses G. Farmer designed the first electric locomotive. We are inclined to think off-hand, that the electric locomotive is something new and modern. But this school teacher designed the first one way back in 1847.
***
A doctor who ran his own sanitarium, his name was Ifosea W. Libbey, invented another tremendous forward step in railroading when he created the vestibule bumper that made it possible to eliminate open platforms between cars, and which likewise served to cushion the jolts of starting and stopping.
Two of the most vital things in railroading are, of course, the telegraph and the automatic block signal system, both vital in dispatching trains, keeping them located, and preventing more than one train being on the same piece of track at the same time. The automatic block signal system was devised by Thomas Seavey Hall, a retired textile manufacturer, of Massachusetts.
tf*r|(
You can hardly think of railroad service without telegraphy, can you? The land telegraph first found its widest use with the railroads. Its inventors were Wheatstone, an English professor of Philosophy; and Morse, the American, whose profession was that of an artist.
rl. * ,k
Westinghouse uras a 23 year old kid whose sole experience was fooling around his father's carpenter and machine shop when he invented the air brake. Prior to that time all railroad brakes had to be set by hand, which crude method was so terrible that the young rnan witnessed it a few times and was shocked into doing something about it.
tF*rft
Pullman, who invented the sleeping car with folding berths, was a street contractor in Chicago when he got the idea. He built several of these cars in 1859 and got the Chicago & Alton to use them. But it was another ten years before they were adopted as necessary train equipment. Pullman moved to Colorado and made a living managing a store during the time he was perfecting his car and getting the railroads to accept it.

The railroads have always been and are still today lacking in research facilities and activities. In the last generation research in other industries has built such tremendous industries as the automobile, the radio, aviation, telephone, electric, chemical, and others. In 1900 when the first automobile show was held in New York City, one third of the cars shown were electric, most of the rest were steam; little was thought of gasoline for motor fuel, and there wasn't a motor truck on earth. Think of that ! And look at the automobile industry today. And look at the oil industry which grew with and by reason of the automobile industry. Research did it.
*rftt
And when the first streamlined train appeared a few years ago to which the railroads pointed with pardonable
pride and the public rushed to see, it was found that the streamlining was a result of aviation and automotive research; the roller bearings on the silent wheels were made by Timken, a famous automobile supply man; the qngine was built by Winton, a General Motors subsidiary. The train itself was built by Budd, an automobile body and wheel manufacturer, out of stainless steel developed by Henry Ford.

The motor vehicle is naturally frequently referred to as the chief and vital competitor of the railroads. True. Yet one of its greatest customers. In the past ten years the railroads have hauled no less than THIRTY-TWO MILLION CARLOADS of automobiles, trucks, trailers, parts, accessories, tires, road materials, gasoline and oil. Some business! The total revenue to the roads from this transportation was in excess of four and a quarter billions of dollars. Freight by and from the autornotive industry today represents about 13 per cent of the total tonnage the railroads carry.
But the railroads have gone into the truck and bus operating business themselves; and are going in deeper every day. Ten years ago the railroads of this country owned about 1,600 trucks or busses. In 1930 this had increased to 7,(X)0. Last year it was above 48'(X)O,'and increasing at

constantly accelerating speed. Combination train, bus, and truck service by the railroads is the big thought now. rftf*
What a tremendous thing this automotive industry has become in forty years. Forty years ago, in 1896, there were just four gasoline driven cars on earth, a Duryea, a Ford, a Haynes, and a Menz. The last was a German car. fitere were no highways. Henry Ford was a hired hand for a company that was later to become the Cadillac. General Motors had not been dreamed of. The gasoline tax, the greatest tax-paying giant in all this world's history, was not thought qf until 1919. This was the Aladdin's Lamp that was to transform a muddy world into one well covered with smooth, modern highways. It made the automobile business, the cement business, the oil business, and almost every other great business of the world came to. depend on it for its chief susten"rau.* tf ,r.
The automobile industry has produced something like 63,(XX),(X)0 vehicles in these forty years, that sold for about $55,000,fi)0,000 at retail. This industry gives employment to about twelve per cent of the nation's workers, and pays about one out of every eight tax dollars paid in this entire countr''

Chicago, May 8.-The first annual meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association since it attained almost complete federation of the regional and species associations was held here April 23-25. It was marked by intensive and highly interested consideration of the comprehensive program of lumber promotion, on which the association is now concentrating.
Walter B. Nettleton, Seattle lumberman, who was president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in 1935, was elected president of the National. Other general officers elected 'were: W. M. Ritter, Washington, D. C., vicepresident and treasurer, re-elected; J. F. Coleman, Kinzua, Oregon, president of the Wistern Pine Association, reelected; E. L.

The California Redwood Association is preparing a release schedule for their new sound moving picture, "California Giants." It is the general opinion of those previewing the picture that it is one of the most interesting industrial pictures ever screened. The industry, fortunately, has a background in the scenic timberlands which generates immediate interest.. But'the picture is far more than a travelogue of the Redwood Empire. It covers the logging and manufacturing branches of the industry, and then follows the shipping department through to the actual consumption of the finished product. This brings out the final link of contact with the consumer of the product, treating it in the forms with which he is familiar.
The production end of the industry is not slighted. It is given complete coverage from the tree through every operation of manufacture and refinement. One of the many interesting highlights is a series of shots of the high-climber, including a close-up of him working on top of a tree.
The audience interest in the picture is sustained by excellent film cutting which makes all scenes short and con-
Harry O. Geary, regional sales manager for The Red River Lumber Company at New York, has just completed a ten-day visit to the company's plant and general sales office at Westwood. He stopped on his way west at Pittsburgh, Chicago and Reno and is returning via San Francisco and Los Angeles, contacting the Red River sales organization. While in Westwood he inspected varioud phases of the operation from logging to remanufacture studying new developments in the manufacture of lumber and plywood. Mr. Geary also discussed plans for increased sales service in his territorv.

cise, yet long enough to bring out the subject involved. When the operation becomes flat, as in the many factory scenes, the continuity is flashed back and forth between the production of the article in question, and its use.
Many very interesting scenes illustrating the variety of uses of Redwood are shown, including the historic Russian Church at Fort Ross; the Dolan Creek bridge on the Carmel-San Simeon highway, the catwalk of the Golden Gate bridge, interiors of movie stars' homes, tanks, cooling towers, etc.
The reforestation and forest conservation work of the Redwood industry is demonstrated cleverly by direct illustration and contrasting with the havoc wrought by the elements in the forests.
The dialogue does much to sustain interest. ' The subject is treated in the'vernacular, with humor injected frequently. It is b.rimful of accurate information on the Redwood industry, and provides forty minutes of real entertainment.
The Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company is building a new fir sawmill with a daily,capacity of 125,000 feet at Coquille, Ore.
This company has also ordered equipment for a new and modern Douglas Fir plywood plant to be built alongside the sawmill.

Sacramento, April l5.-After a survey of California's many redwood groves, officials of -the state division of parks have given the title of "the tallest tree in the world" to a redwood monarch in Dyerville Flat grove, 45 miles south of Eureka.
The giant California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) towers 364 f.eet in the air. It is 47 feet in circumference at the base and 11 feet in diameter and contains approximately 125,000 board feet of lumber, it is estimated.
Another tree, eveh larger from the standpoint of potential lumber, is in the Bull Creek Flat grove. This tree is 72 feet in circumference at the ground, is 345 feet high and lvould make approximately 154,000 feet board measure of lumber.
Offices of the Trower Lumber Company have been moved to Rooms 301 and 302, Lumbermen's Building, 110 Market Street, San Francisco. Telephone number remains the same, SlJtter 0426. They are the oldest tenants in the building, having been there since its erection in 1908.
The Hayward Lumber & Investment Co'., Los Angeles, has bought the Whitson Lumber Co. at Santa Ana, and the Newport Beach Lumber Co. at Newport Beach.

One of the best known and respected men in the lumber industry of the West Coast is Frank W. Trower of the Trower Lumber Company, San Francisco. In a few weeks' time he will have completed 46 years of service in the wholesale lumber business in San Francisco, which must be a record or close to it.
Although now still in his fifties, Mr. Trower knew as a mere youngster many of the big figures in the California lumber world of the 1890's and early 1900's, names that are now but memories, in the days when the first block oh Steuart Street and on Market Street housed most of the lumber manufacturers of San Francisco, and the wholesaler without mill ownership or connection was unknown.
Frank Whittaker Trorver was born in Oakland, Calif., September I0, 1876, His father, Ebenezer Trower, was a native of England, and his mother, born in New Brunswick, was of English ancestry. He attended the Oakland public schools, finishing grammar school in 1890 in his 14th year, and after starting to work took a course in night high school work in Oakland to complete his schooling.
His first job was as office boy with the Mendocino County Redwood Association, on Steuart Street, San Fran.cisco. an organization which aimed to handle all the Redwood produced in Mendocino County, but which lasted only nine months. The Association was headed successively by the late E. C. Williams, and later by the late R. G. Byxbee. When the Association dissolved young Frank immediately became office boy for Heywood & Hackley, agents for the Gualala Mill Company. Recognizing his ability the firm thrust a great deal of responsibility on the young lumberman and before he was 19 he was signing checks for the concern. From 1893 the San Francisco end of the business was conducte{ under the name of the Gualala Mill Company, and Mr. Trower looked after the sales, the charters, etc., and later became secretary of the company, remaining with them for 13 years, until the property was sold in 1903 to the Empire Redwood Company.
As a boy young Trower was in the era of small lumber sailing vessels from 75,000 feet capacity and up that were discharged by hand labor, "shoving" a piece or two at a time "over the rail." He saw the gradual upbuilding of the steam schooner fleet, from the time when a boat carrying 5@,000 feet was considered a large steamer. In those days all the lumber was tallied and inspected at San Francisco Bay and San Pedro docks by local lumber surveyors' associations, the cost being equally divided between buyer and seller, work which is now done at the mills bv PLIB and WCLA Inspection Bureaus.
During his teens young Frank spent most of his lunch hours along the San Francisco waterfront watching the boats unload, learning the lumber grades and supplementing his training by frequent trips to the mill at Gualala, in Mendocino County.
With his brother, A. E. Trower, whohad been with the Gualala Mill Company for three years, he organized in 1903 the firm of Trower Bros., wholesalers and mill agents, with offices at 5 Market Street, corner of East Street, now the Embarcadero.
Burned out by the great fire of 1906 they were one of 15 lumber firms that erected the first office structure east of Van Ness Avenue. It was known as the Lumbermen's Building, a "long, low, rakish looking craft," one story high, located at Folsom Street Bulkhead. Each office had one door, and one window fore-and-aft. Trower Bros. moved to the present Lumbermen's Building, 110 Market Street, when it was built in 1908, and they incorporated as Trower Lumber Company in 19L7.
Mr. Trower recalls that after the 1906 fire and earthquake many lumber firms located temporarily in Oakland,' and that the Fir manufacturers (then organized as the Pine Manufacturers' Association, so called from the use of the name "Oregon Pine") held regular meetings on board the river steamer "H. J. Corcoran," moored to Clay Street wharf, San Francisco. Later these meetings were held in a small assembly room in the back of an East Street drug store near Howard Street wharf, that being the only available meeting room in the burned district until the spring of. IX)7. An interesting bit of lumber history is that at , one of these meetings he presented a resolution that resulted in abolishing the old $2.0O per M reduction for No. 2 Common included with the No. 1 Common, and establishing one price for the grade known as California Common, which permitted 75 per cent No. I and 25 per cent No. 2, and was afterwards reduced to 15 per cent No. 2. This reform saved the lumber manufacturers millions of dollars, for it became the Coastwise custom, as San Francisco was then headquarters for the Fir interests of the Pacific Coast. It is a matter of record that it was not until many years afterwards that orders were taken for straight No. 2 Common. Many Fir basic price lists were established in San Francisco, which became the ruling discount and differential prices for the entire Coast.
He helped to organize the Wholesale Lumberrnen's Club, of which he was president, and later the Douglas Fir Club of San Francisco in 1913. He was the latter club's first president for two terms, and was presented with a beautiful silver tea service in 1915. This club did much useful work in the 13 years of its existence.
For nearly 25 years he was active in Hoo-Hoo circles. Ife was elected Supreme Junior Hoo-Hoo in 1911, and attained national prominence when at the annual meeting
at Asheville, N. C., in 1972, he was elected Snark of the IJniverse. Space limitations prevent detailing his many varied activities, but in that quarter of a century he did a tremendous amoullt of work for the Order, believing that in Friendship, Goodwill, Confidence and Cooperation would be found the means to overcome many of the lumber industry's troubles.
In Oakland, on September 6, 1905, Mr. Trower married Miss Naomi Agnes Blake. They have a daughter, Miss Elizabeth (Betty) Blake Trower, their son Franklin having passed away last November, aged 8.
He is a member of several fraternal orders, and his home is in Oakland. He and Mrs. Trower, since 1905, have been members of the First Congregational Church of Oakland, and he was president of its large Men's Club. . His principal diversions are walking and reading, €specially history, economics, the money question, and the study of politics and g'overnment. He maintains a lively interest in what is going on in the world everywhere. Believes in what Robert Louis Stevenson told the little girl: "The world is so full of a number of things, I think we should all be as h"ppy as kings." And that this philosophy includes material things too, and a fair distribution of them according to merit and effort. He thinks that our greatest problem now is how to combine the best in the co-oferative and individualistic systems according to sound, progressive American standards and traditions; believes that most of the world's sore problems can be solved by adhering to the principles of decency and justice; in short-the practice of the Golden Rule; has found by many years' experience that nearly all lumbermen are "good scouts," even those who like to be considered "hard-boiled" are "brothers under the skin," possessing the common failings and virtues of mankind.
By instinct a crusader against wrong and injustice, his long business training taught him caution in appraising quack remedies for "all the ills that flesh is heir to." He likes that famous expression of Theodore Roosevelt-"practical idealism."
Mr. Trower believes in trade associations for limited purposes, based on voluntary self-interest rather than coercion. He has a high conception of the splendid part that lumbermen have played in upbuilding the Nation, and believes that we must adapt our methods to changing conditions, so that our industry may always continue to render solid service to the people it touches in production, distribution and consumption. Frank's "suppressed desire" was to be a freelance columnist or editor on a first-class newspaper or syndicate.
Carl H. Kuhl, Carl H. Kuhl Lumber Co., Portland, Ore., is a Los Angeles visitor, and with Carl Davies, their Southern California representative, is calling on the trade. Mr. Kuhl will also spend a few days calling on the Arizona dealers.
Warren B. Wood, Pelcy Merithew, and Gus Hoover, Los Angeles, and Francis Pool, Phoenix, motored to El Paso the early part of the month. They called on the Arizona trade and also attended the Arizona retailers'annual convention.

His hate lunged at me with an eager sword, The bite of death upon its tempered blade; He loomed above my fear, an over-lord Whose fury brooked no mortal barricade; Defenses down, each moment now an age, I watched in fascinated calm, and saw His mighty arm uplifted high in rage; Against his,strength f knew no skill, no law.
And yet-was this a dream within a dream?During the very instant when I fell f saw his eyes'refected in the gleam Of his own steel; and only souls in hell Reveal such mad torment when fiends pursue, The stroke that cut me down had maimed him too.
-EliasLieberman in New York Times.
Good citizenship, like charity, begins at home. Let the good citizen support his family, keep his house and fence in repair, mow his lawn, trim his trees, mend his sidewalk, discipline his children, and pay his bills. ff he does less, he is not doing enough even though he is president of the local Neighborhood fmprovement Association and a deacon in the church.

One of the most complete and attractive roofing catalogs ever issued is now being distributed by the Pioneer-Flintkote Company from their offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake City and Denver.
The new book contains 44 pages and is printed in four colors throughout, showing among other things, many shapes and styles of asphalt shingles in full color, the plates having been made direct from the shingles themselves, not from artists' d.rawings or colored photographs.
Other sections of the catalog illustrate and describe roll roofings, building and insulating papers, roofing asphalts, asphalt emulsions and miscellaneous roofing items. Nearly a dozen pages are devoted to description of manufacturing processes in the ZS-acre Pioneer-Flintkote Plant. There is much valuable information contained in the book, fgr example, a page which gives various methods of figuring roof areas, and other data of this type.
Harry J. Graham, director of sales of the Pioneer-Flintkote Company, states that nearly five months were devoted to the preparation of this book in order to make it as accurate and complete as possible. The catalog should fill a long felt want among architects, builders and roofing and lumber dealers throughout the west.
It is not intended for distribution to the general public. Copies will be delivered to dealers and other business and professional persons for whom it is intended, as rapidly as possible. This may take some time to accomplish, but a copy may be had immediately by writing or telephoning the nearest Pioneer-Flintkote office.
T. B. Lawrence, Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co., Los Angeles, is back from a two weeks' trip to the Northwest where he called on the mills in the Coos Bav. Columbia River, and Grays Harbor districts.
Paul Revert, The Red River Lumber Co., Los Angeles, has returned from a business trip to Arizona where he called on the retail lumber trade. He also attended the annual meeting of the Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association at Tucson on May 8-9.
A complete line of waterproofing materials, concrete hardeners and technical paints is being manufactured by the Volsonite Enterprises, Ltd., with general offices at 36 North Marengo Avenue, Pasadena. The company is starting a campaign to get lumber dealers to handle the line.
Vincent Harris Olson is president of the company. He is recognized in the construction industry as an outstanding authority on the waterproofing of concrete, and many of the world's largest structures have been permanently waterproofed under his engineering supervision.
It is interesting to note that Mr. Olson was an All-American right half on Walter Camp's team when he played for Rutgers. He played professional football under the name of "Swede" Olson for the New York Giants, and with Charlie Brickley, former Harvard captain, was joint holder of the first New York Giants' franchise. He expects to promote a professional team in Los Angeles.

He left May 3 by United Air Lines plane for Tacoma, where he called on mills represented by his firm, and on the return trip, also made by air, stopped off at Portland to visit the Vancouver Plywood & Veneer Co. at Vancouver, 'Wash., for which Tacoma Lumber Sales is Southern California representative.
An interesting article entitled "Commercial Hardwoods," giving a brief story of the various hardwoods and their uses in every day life, was written recently by B. E. Bryan, general manager of Strable Hardwood Company, Oakland, for the "Port of Oakland Compass," official organ of the Port. The article, in part, is as follows:
"There are some fifty or sixty kinds of hardwoods used commercially which are grown in the United States. In addition, possibly fifteen or twenty kinds are brought in from foreign countries and island possessions. The footage of hardwoods imported is infinitesimal compared with those which are indigenous, with the exception of Philippine hardwoods which are coming into the United States proper is an ever increasing volume, particularly on this coast.
"The domestic hardwood lumber reaches Oakland almost exclusively via water, through the Panama Canal; the foreign hardwood lumber arrives by water freight direct from the point of origin-Philippine Islands, Central America, South America, Australia and India; the small amount of European and Mediterranean hardwood used on the Pacific Coast is usually trans-shipped via water from New York.
"The manufactured products of hardwoods, such as panels and hardwood'flooring, are usually shipped by rail, although there has been some consideration given, during the last year, to moving flooring through the Canal. This 'may develop as terminal facilities are perfected for handling this easily damaged commodity.
"It is almost impossible to outline the channels through which hardwood lumber flows into consumption. There are certain well-defined outlets through which there is a continuous movement such as planing mills-for interior finish for homes, stores, restaurants, apartments, buildings and office buildings; and to truck body builders, where hardwood is necessary to withstand the constant and hard wear. A surprising volume goes into boat building business, as well as into small boats which are built at home by individuals. Almost all new construction uses
some hardwood. If a shoemaker opens a new Shop, he will need a heavy piece of hardwood on which to install his machines. This particular shop may not repeat this purchase for another twenty-five years. The type of such sales indicates the difficulty in establishing definite outlets through which hardwood is merchandised.
"Some conception of the very large investment in stocks carried in order to properly. serve Oakland and the back country from Bakersfield to Medford, Oregon, and to the eastern boundary of Nevada .can be had when consideration is given to the fact that, in addition to the sixty or eighty kinds of hardwoods used commercially, each kind develops several grades, some as many as five different grades-oak, the most commonly used and best known hardwood, is an example. Coupled with the above, there are innumerable manufactured products of hardwood which are in constant demand.
"The use of hardwoods will continue down through the coming centuries in America, for two very definite reasons: First, from a utilitarian standpoint, there are many places where hardwood is used where nothing has been invented which can be satisfactorily substituted. Second, from the standpoint of beauty and harmony in the home, hardwood is a part of our national living and being. When our ancestors came to America they built their homes of hardwood throughout, because the oak, ash, maple, beech and birch were near at hand and plentiful. These homes were sturdy, substantial and so well built that many of them are still standing and are in good condition. Who can say that such a home did not tend to add to the sturdiness of the character of those pioneers who were born and reared amid such substantial surroundings !
"There is a plentiful supply of hardwoods in the United States to care for the ordinary home consumption for decades to come. As our native forests diminish, wp will turn to Central and South America, where the supply is almost unlimited. It is evident, therefore, that hardwood lumber and its products will be coming through the Port of Oakland probably down through the centuries."

George A. Houston, general sales manager of the LongBell Lumber Company, has resigned to devote his time to recently acquired interests in a California mining property, and will make his headquarters in San Francisco after June 1.
