Praises Work of Major Griggs

Seattle, Wash., April 30.-At a meeting of the board of trustees of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association on April 22, the following resolution was passed to express the sympathy over the death of Major Everett G. Griggs, who for many years was an officer and trustee of the Association:

"The Trustees of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, meeting on April 22, 1938, wish to express their profound grief in the passing of Major EVerett G. Griggs, and their respect and aftection for Major Griggs as a fellow lumberman and associate for many years in the cooperative work of the industry.

"No lumberman of the Pacific Northwest has had a more intimate or loyal part in all undertakings for the betterment of conditions in the industry and the benefit of its labor than Major Griggs. He was actively identified with lumber associations for over thirty years, beginning as President of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers Association in 1903. He was first President of the West Coast Association, in l9l2; and fourth President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, from 1911 to 1913.

"His business life was a wonderful exarrtple of untiring effort to unify the industry and to curb destructive tendencies within it. It is symbolic of his career and vision that Major Griggs was one of the earliest leaders in Northwestern forest conservation and one of the first forest owners to institute timber cropping on his own lands.

"The Trustees of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, long associated with Major Griggs, simply record the universal regard for him among lumbermen. An industrial leader and staunch friend is gone; but the industry will long carry the impress of his interest and his example."
