There's AlwaysRoom for a Merchant Where Mr. Pip Operates

By lack Dionne

Not long ago I talked retail lumber business to a veter"r, ,"t"it"" who is just as steeped in the beliefs of old fashioned methods of running lumber yards as he was twenty five years ago. Nothing I could say or suggest impressed him in the very least. He has been running yards for a generation, I haven't, so my ideas are all theories, and his are based on sound experience.

He clings to the profound conviction that the sum and substance of a retail lumber business is to keep down investment, keep down expenses by spending nothing you donft absolutely have to, don't over-sell like some folks do, quote your trade fair prices, and collect the money. The fact that the first merchant that operated in America five hundred years ago used that exact same system, made no difference to hirn- He KNEW. He'd PROVEN his theories"

That same day I was talking to a man who has established a wide reputation as a lumber merchandiser, who believes in creating business, and who has proven to his own satisfaction that it PAYS to merchandise. Pays BIG.

I told him about the set-to I had had with the other lumber dealer mentio4ed above, and I suggested seriously to him that he sit down quietly with this first man, and SHOW HIM FROM HIS BOOKS AND FIGURES THE RESULTS HE HAS BEEN GETTING ON HIS MODERN EFFORTS AT CREATING BUSINESS IN THE RETAIL GAME.

"Ife won't listen to me" I said, "because mine are theories, but YOU can show him, as you have shown me, what can be done and what you are doing.', The answer was startling. I had overlooked onB point.

"I can't do itr" he said, "he is a competitor of mine at several points, I make more money at those points than I do anywhere else, AND I CAN'T AFFORD FoR My OWN SAKE TO WAKE THAT SLEEPY BIRD UP.''

I have run into that same situation countless times in the past fifteen years. The most wonderful things I have ever seen done in a merchandising way, have never been published, because the facts could not be told without wising up the slow-poke whose slowness made competition with him a gold mine.

Often we hear of "too many lumber yards" in a placa And very often there ARE too many. But these live merchants all agree that there is always room for one more in the town where Mr. Pip operates.

Let McGormtck help ltou get more faun trade thts year!

Wooden Shingle Champion and Prominent Composition Roofing Manufacturer Invade Arizona Together

A. J. Russell

We started to take for the text of these remarks that quotation from the Scriptures about the lamb and the lion laying down together, but when we got to think it over we couldn't decide rvhich was which in this case, so we decided to drop that particular text.

Much has been said and written about the "New Cornpetition", and the friendliness and good will and co-operation that has crept into our modernized building eftorts, even between the most sincere and enthusiastic competitors. This condition was probably'never better illustrated than by a recent visit to Atizona made in close harmony and companionship by two outstanding citizens of the building industry of California.

The gentlemen referred io are Sylvester Weaver of Los Angeles, one of the big composition roofing manu.facturer-s and-exponents of the Pacific Coast, and A. J: "Gu9"- Russell of SanFrancisco, avowed and proven champion of the cause of wooden shingles in the State of California.

They met in Los Angeles, made up a party, and together they journeyed to Nogales, Arizona, where in concert and harmony they attended the annual convention of the Arizona retailers of lumber. And in that same manner they returned.

Enemies though they be in a business way, they made a fine team. Both are big, trvo-fisted, smiling, enthusiastic humans. Both are fine public speakers, and impressive personalities.

History does not yet record whether any converts were made on the tfip. If Sylvester convinced Gus that composition roofing is the right rooftng to use on California homes; or if Gus induced Sylvester to turn his roofing plant into a shingle mill; deponent sayeth not.

But they made a red hot team, and their trip probably convinced many that-"co-operation, not competition, is the life of trade-and it's SOME life."

Laminated Fir Lumber

By Chas" W. Bubkner, Mgr., Door, Panel and Industrial Lumber Dept. of Morrill & Sturgeon Lumber Co., Portland, Oregon.

As our industrial activities progress our cities become more congested, our buildings go higher and our wooden buildings are being replaced by fire-proof structures of different kinds. This results in the lowering of the percentage of common or lower grades of lumber to be used for each building and increases the percentage of clear or upper grades of lumber, as finishing lumber must be clear and show as few defects as possible.

When we take these facts into consideration, in face of the increasing demand for conservation of our forest resources, it behooves us to begin to give some earnest thought to finding some plan that will give us the much desired effect of our beautiful clear finishing lumber and at the same time not waste such a large percentage of our low grade lumber' Our first thought has been to use the lower grades and cover the defects with paint by having our artists imitate nature's handiwork with a brush, but the best of artists fail when their work is to be compared with the work of nature. We then consider and experiment in sawing our clear lumber thinner, but we find a great deal of the clear product going into the refuse burner in the form of sawdust. Also a large amount of waste is caused by checks, splits and other causes, as it is always hard to handle thin lumber without a large percentage of it splitting. When we do have it ready for use it is not entirely satisfactory as it gives a cheap, flimsy effect, whereas the result desired is a sturdy, massive effect.

Our lumber industry is not the first industry to have such problems to overcome. The silversmiths had to overcome these same conditions many generations ago when they could not secure enough gold, silver and other precious metals to supply the demand for jewelry, etc. This naturally forced prices up. They could not make rings,

watches, and other articles which would be satisfactory out of,lead, iron, steel, copper or other base metals, an| more than we can make casing, base, doors and wide hnish lumber out of knotty, stained,- low grade timber. The silversmiths overcame this difficulty by taking one or more thin sheets of the precious metal and a sheet of base metal and laminated them together so that the thin sheets of precious metals gave the artistic effect desired. At the same time the base metal gave the strength and massiveness required without detraiting from thJbeauty or usefulness of the article so made. This is what we ari learning to do today in the lumber industry. We are taking the best of our timber and instead of sawing it into l-inch and thicker boards to be used as casing, d6ors and other finish lumber, we are putting the timbei into one of our modern rotary lathes and are peeling it into thin veneer one-eighth inch thick, and some of if even thinner. In this- way _we get many times the surface footage of clear lumber. I{owever, this is thin and flimsy and Jasily split, but by selecting the best of these thin veneers and uiing them as face stock and laminating them over several piecei of lower gra-de o-r- common veneerwe secure many -times as much marketable clear lumber as we would if wi sawed the same.log into ordinary boards. Also, by means of the rotary cut we bring out much more of the beauty of the grain-than it is possible to produce by sawing. In addition to this, on account of the alternate pieces 1f the veneer being laid crosswise, laminated lumber is very much stronger than sawn lumber and will not split or'waro.

The Fir Veneer plants on the Pacific Coast, with their rrammoth clear Fir logs, are particularly well situated to take advantage of this method of making beautiful finishlng

Universal Utility of Fir

One great advantage in Douglas Fir is its many hiehlv satisfactory uses, from large shuctural Timbers to Vertical Grain Flooring and beautifulFinish. It has shength and durability; works easily and takes paint perfectly. Both carpenter and building owner like Fir lumber.

Retail yards can secure practically every item they handle in a single car of lumber from us.

AND FRAME,S

Probably never are all mixed in one car but the combination required is constantly changing. It is a valuable convenience to the dealer to be able to secure any assortment needed to balance his stock. The trade should use Fir---first, because it satisfies and second, because of the dealer's advantage in replenishing his stock.

lumber and at the same time show real ionservation of our forest resources.

A very striking example of the increased usefulness of this laminated lumber at reduced cost was brought to my attention on a recent trip to California. We were discussing with the manager of one of the Planing Mills, now specializing in cupboard doors, the merits of 5-ply laminated lumber for use as flush cupboard doors as against the use of the ordinary type of thin panels for cupboard doors. This man readily admitted thet flush cupboard doors were more desirable, particularly in modern homes and buildings where the built-in features are used so extensively, but on account of the apparent high price of 5-ply laminated lumber, he raised the question of cost.

We contended that if the cost of a thin panel, together with stiles and rails, and the labor cost of putting them together were taken into consideration the result would not be unfavorable to the use of 5-ply laminated lumber. This man then produced his cost sheet showing actual cost of making given sizes of the panel type of cupboard doors and he compared them with the same sizes of 5-ply laminated lumber that had been sanded two sides to fi-inch net in thickness. He found that the flush cupboard doors made of 5-ply material would be more than 2O/o; cheaper than the old type.

The usefulness and desirability of Laminated Lumber is becoming more apparent every day, and on each of our Eastern trips we find more of the Industries becoming interested in this Western built-up lumber. Many manufacturing plants such as Piano Manufacturers, Furniture Factories, Cabinet Makers, Automobile Body Builders and many others are now using Laminated Lumber in large quantities.

-

By far the greatest field is just now becoming interested, and this is the retail lumber yards. There is not one re-

tailer that does not know that one of his greatest problems is how to avoid loss on account of breakage and splitting of his high grade finishing lumber, and when he realizes that he can stock high grade laminated lumber in widths of. 12 in. to 48 in, and )( in. and thicker without danger of splitting or warping, the advantages are at once apparent. At the present time we are giving the wider widths most of our attention, but we believ0 that within the next few years we will see most of our retail yards handling not only the wider widths but the narrow stock also, such as Casing, Base, Jambs and many similar items.

Another great advantage is the increased strength of laminated lumber when compared with sawn boards. Recently one of the Eastern Machinery Plants was in need of a machine base which would give the maximum of strength and the minimum of weight. Their requirements were rnet by producing this base by laminating nine ply together giving a net thickness of Il in. after sanding and giving them strength that it was next to impossible to get any other way and this only added ll in. to the height of their machine, and as these bases were 26 in. wide by 42 in. long it was next to impossible to secure them in sawn lumber. The introduction of waterproof glue a few years ago was of great assistance in the manufacture of this type of lumber, as we can now glue up lumber and know that it will withstand exposure to heat and water much better than ordinary clear lumber without warping.

Arizonans in Successful Convention

With well over a hundred registrants, the largest number in years attending one of their meetings, the Arizona Lumbermen's Club held their annual Convention at Nogales, Friday and Saturday, May 14th and 15th. It was declared by many the most interesting and successful meeting ever held by this progressive body.

Mr. Emil Marks, of Douglas, an old member of the Club and active for years in its upbuilding, was elected Presideht to serve the ensuing year. Mr. Marks has been in the retail lumber game for years, in Arizona, and is rated as one of the state's best citizens.

William Corpstein, of Corpstein Brothers, Phoenix, was named Vice President, a'nd John Woods of Bisbee, was reelected Secretary, this making his third consecutive term in this office.

Mr. Gus Michaels, Nogales; Joe Tardy, Douglas ; Hi Corbett, Tucson; Joe Halstead, Phoenix, and Irving Jen- nings of Douglas were named directors.

RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY

One of the first moves to be made by the body after convening at the call of Mr. Hi Corbett, acting as- Chairm_an, was !o -pass the following resolution of sympathy for It{r. E._L. O,'M1lley, over the sad loss of his daugfiter,-Ber- nice. Mr. O'Malley was called home while enroute to the con_vention, ahd was accompanied by Vice President J. J. Halloran.

"Be it resolved, by the Lumbermen's Club of Arizona, assembled at Nogales, Arizona, in this its ninth annual convention:

"That we are shocked and deeply grieved by the sudden death on May 13th, of Bernice O'Malley, daughter of our good Vice-President, Edwin L. O'Malley, and mourn with him and his family, in this hour of their great bereavement and sorrow. While we feel that any words of ours which should attempt to beguile them from-this grief are weak and futile, we pray that our Heavenly Father, may, in His good time, assuage the anguish of their bereavement, and liave only cherished memories of the loved ahd lost.

"Resolved further, that on the reading of this Resolution, we stand for a moment with bowed heads in silent prayer for the consolation and comfort of the bereaved family.

Judge Frank Duffy, Nogales, officially welcomed the delegates to the city, expressing his delight at the selectioh of Nogales for the second time as the convention city and offering the hospitality of all of the citizens.

Herman L. Rosenberg of the Hipolito Company, Los Lngeles, made the principal address at the Fridiy sission. lf e. gave a message of better and more adequate -merchandising to the lumbermen, declaring that "lumbermen are fast forgetting the principles of meichandising and assuming the position of messenger boys in their dealings with

the outside trade. Rosenberg further stated that "prices are paramount and merchandising secondary," that oh the Pacific Coast there is a "prevalency of supply but not so much of demand" and that "merchandise in the proper manner can only drag the lumber selling industry from its preseht rut."

"I would place the lumber selling business on the same basis as any other business in the matter of selling. "If w.e establish bonds of confidence and give service we will have placed the business on a better basis and establish a standard method of marketing."

At this same session Mr. L. H. Stanton, head of E. J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles, made a very interesting address, reiterating some of Mr. Rosenberg's remarks regarding the better merchandising of building materials, the importance of price, ahd especially urging the free use of sen'ice by the retailer.

Following Judge Duffy's address, Mr. Joe Halstead of Phoenix and Mr. Gus Michaels of Nogales were called on for short addresses, following which the meeting adjourned until Saturday.

Saturday morning found a few of the delegates on the golf links, where an impromptu tournament was held, followed by an informal lunchebn across the line at Nogales, Sonora.

The Saturday afternoon session was given first to the election of officers, followed by the main address of the convention by Mr. Sylvester L. 'Weaver, president of the IYeaver-Hehry Manufacturing Company, tos Angeles. Mr. 'Weaver lauded the progressive spirit of Arizoni and ap- olauded the splendid showing made in the last twelve months by all lines of industry in the state.

Bakersfield Concatenation a Huge Success

The San Joaquin Valley Hoo Hoo members can well be proud of the success of the Concatenation held at the Elks Club, Bakersfield, on the night of May 22nd,.

Vicegerent Snark L. L. Walker of Fresno, and about forty loyal members of his gang, together with a large number of visitors from other parts of the state, made up the party.

It was really a state affair, there being Cats there from San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Bakersfield, Fresno, Tulare and other points.

Arrangements were handled by Mr. Elmore W. King, of Bakersfield, assisted by Vicegerent Walker and E. H. Verbel, of Fresno.

A banquet was held at the Elks Club at 6 p. m., with Iferman L. Rosenberg, of the Hipolito Company, Los An-

linson of MacDonald & Harrington, San Francisco, and Joe Cuneo of White Brothers, San Francisco. Joe sang and Tommy did his stuff at the piano.

Short talks were made by Mr. King, Vicegerent Walker, George Burnett of Tulare, E. H. Verble, W. B. Wickersham of Los Angeles, Phil B. Hart, editor of The California Lumber Merchant, Sam T. Hayward, Los Angeles, Arthur Bernhauer of Fresno, W. S. Scrim of Los Angeles, E. D. Tennant, Past Snark of the lJniverse, and the hosts of the evening, Chas. Curran, Arthur Curran, Sam Scofield and Percy Burns, all of Bakersfield.

Twelve Kittens were put through the onion beds by the Fresno team, and with Ernest Verble acting as Junior Hoo Hoo with his original stunts.

PROFITS FOR PIONEERS

Economy in small details has built American prospe.ity. A m e r i c a n wages are the highest in the world, yet American goods compete successfully in foreign marketg.

The pioneer in a new business field is rewarded by the profits from savings that otrhers have failed to discover.

Lumber dealers are overlooking the opportunity presented by short lengths of bevel siding. Grade for grade there is a spread in price in favor of short lengths. Nearly every job requires a certain percentage of shori lengths. This wiil vary according to the plan. Between window and door openings, in gables and dormeig and on odd-length sides, short lengths are .required that are generally cut out of long stock on the job.

Figure the short siding cuts and frll this item from a stock of short siding bought at the lower price. You can also show the contractor a saving in the labor of cutting. Many a building bill has been land.d by a smaller margin than that. Ordcr rome ahort bevel siding in your next mixed car from'Wectwood. Tty it.

FROM THE BURNER

Frank Winship insisted, if he could find only a mashie, he would play golf : That was, however, jusi before he found the greens ( ?) when he decided a grois of balls was necessary and a Fordson as caddie.

Andy Donovan drove down in his roadster, but, if he was as long coming from Los Angeles to San Bernardino as he was from the starting point there to Cedar Glen, he must have left home the previous week. More power to you, Andy ! Yes-much more!

. "Dad" N-ewton, the young old-man, showed his pep by being the first on the ground and the last to retiri.' Hl made a very_wonderfuL talk to the boys at the campfire. As also did Brother Coombs.

Milton Standish hereby receives his vote of thanks for his capability in showing that every detail of the entertainment was_ perfect. To Ed. and Herb. Suverkrup goes the same thanks, and forJ. Wesley Shrimp, just wheie fre really fitted in was never discovered as he wji on the iob in everv way every minute and with his characteristic snap behind every move, the whole Concatenation was a .,bairg,, that should bring a big turnout to their next move.

You who missed this real treat of the San Bernardino Hoo-Hoo Club are entirely out of luck and when they again entertain,. get in !

Los Angeles Product Welcomed in Other Countries

The people living on the other side of the Pacific Ocean want American products and the manufacturers of Los Angeles are the logical ones to supply their wants, in the opinion of J. F. Kiefaber, president of the Buttress Manufacturing Company, who has made a special study of conditions ar,nong the English-speaking peoples living on islands in the Pacific.

"Wherever English is spoken," said Mr. Kiefaber yes- terday, "the people look to the United States for leadership. This is especially true with respect to building materials. Los Angeles manufacturers are in a better position to take advantage of this situation than most manufacturers because it is recognized all over the world that the building industry is an important one in Los Angeles. Home-building receives more attention in this city than anywhere else in the rvorld, and it is therefore natural that Los Angeles products that go into home-building are superlor.

"We have found that our products are eagerly welcomed in the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands and also among the Austrians and New Zealanders. Our representative in New Zealand has given us a standing order for 10O,000 feet of wallboard a month and we also receive large orders for plaster lath.

"Although our export business is naturally a very small percentage of our total volume, it is very considerable in a year's time. The possibilities of exporting to the Orient and to the English-speaking communities of the Pacific are important, for practically every manufacturer in Los Angeles.

Mr. Henry has been associated with the Pioneer Paper Company for the past twenty years and has been vicepresident and general manager of that firm during the latter ten years of this period. He has had very extensive experience in the manufacture of roofing and has btudied the production methods of practically every large plant in the East. He is generally conceded to be one of the foremost authorities in the industry, having been the first to dcvelop the reinforced roof, which has supplanted practically all other types of roofing on the Coast-.

In the early days of roofing manufacture on the Pacific Coast, the machines in use at that time were capable of

The Weaver Roof Co. has long been known for its fine, up-to-date plant, but since the formation of the WeaverHenry Mfg. Co., production facilities will be trebled. These new improvements will enable them to take care of a very large volume of business.

Weave-r policies, amplified_ by lhe manufacturing and merchandising experience of Mr. Henry, assures thJtrade of splendid roofing products, prompt and accurate service.

Sylvester L. Weaver will be President and Wm. Ifenrv will be Vice-President and General Manager of the WeaveiHenry Mfg. Co.

Five miles from north of Floodwood, near here a lumber company has completed the cutting of 6,000,000 feet of Norway and white pine, which will be floated down the Whiteface River to Cloquet in what is claimed to be the last great log drive in the state.

Although the drive may not compare with other log drives in Minnesota and may seem insignificant with those that- the Mississippi river has seen, it is said to be the larg- est in recent years.

Over The Bret Harte Trail to Calayeras

Big Trees

More than 100 members of the Central California Lumbermen's Club, including their families and guests, assembled at Stockton and Modesto on Friday evening, May 14, to begin the following morning a 200-mile automobile tour around the Bret Harte Trail through the famous Mother Lode Country, the land immdrtalized by Bret Harte and Mark Twain.

Many of the visitors who gathered at Stockton listened to an excellent address on Friday evening in the Auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce, when G. McM. Ross, the well known Mother Lode mining engineer, talked on the gold production of the Mother Lode district, which is rvithin the boundaries of the following counties: El Dorado, Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa. Mr. Ross stressed sn the vast wealth that has been taken from'this district, stating that "wagon loads of gold" were taken from the Mother Lode in the days of '50 and '51. The total gold production of the Mother Lode has been $50O,000,000, he said. Compared to the early days, he stated that mining operations in the Mother Lode are now at a low ebb, there being only a few deep gold mines operating at the present tim€. According to Mr. Ross, it is possible, but doubtful, that a great organizatio,n could be formed to resume deep mining on a large scale in the Mother Lode. He illustrated his talk with references to the Bret Harte-Mark Twain vignette map on the auditorium wall.

A spleadid descriptive booklet covering the many points of interest on the trip, headed "Over the Bret Harte Trail, the Land of Romance" and arranged by Chas. G. Bird of the Stockton Lumber Co., was distributed to those making the trip. This attractive syllabus consisted of 32 pages of letter sized paper and neatly bound in a stout cover. The booklet showed a map of the Mother Lode trip; a descriptive cartoon by Ralph O. Yardley shorving the Amador,

"We are going to see the land immortalized by Bret Harte and Mark Twain, to look upon the present importance of the Mother Lode Countrv and recall the memorable days of.'49. Bear in mind as y6u go along, that in these hills and valleys nestling in the high Sierras, you are in the real California, the California that first attracted the attention of the world, the California of romance, of song and story.

"Still here, and unchanged, are the old mining towns where Colonel Starbottle, Jack Hamlin, Truthful James and other interesting characters used to congregate. So are the solidly built box-like structures with heavy iron doors where the Adams Express Company and Wells-Fargo Express Company kept the treasure for shipment; and the archaic stage offices where Yuba Bill pulled up and discharged his cargo. Some of the mining camps described by Bret Harte have disappeared, but the locations, in most cases, are known and can be pointed out. Now and then you meet an 'old-timer' who was there when Bret Harte, himself, traipsed'over the trail'.

"We are taking you now on a journey through the wonderland of Bret Harte's stories, arid will salute Mark Twain as we approach his old haunts where 'we wandered on foot among the mountains, sleeping under the trees at night. Our doors had always stood open and our board welcome to tramping miners-and now on our own tramp we never found cold hospitality."-(Mar!_Tw1i-n in "Roughing It.")

provided *itn *i,laXtff"dri1#fJ'Jt'"0 numbers for the various machines, the Stockton contingent left at 7:30 A.M. Saturday morning from the Stockton Hotel. The members of the party who assembled at Modesto, left at 8:30 A.M., where they met the Stockton party at Oakdale at 8:45 A.M. Leaving Oakdale and following the Stanislaus River, the party proceeded into the "Playground of the Bret Harte

Ross; a second full page cartoon by Mr. Yardley, showing the mining yield by counties of the Mother Lode, while the succeeding sheets gave a short description of the many things of interest to be seen going over the Bret Harte Trail, the historical facts being delightfully interspersed with excerpts from the writings of-Bret Hart and Mark Twain.

In the introductory remarks of his interesting booklet, Mr. Bird says:

Knights Ferry is the ancient county seat of Stanislaus County, and was located in 1855 and named for William Knight, a tr4pper and guide, u'ho opened a ferry in 18,18. Losing sight of the river, presently are seen the lava beds on both sides of the road, which at a higher elevation forms Table Mountain. Continuing on, the party next passed through Jamestown, often referred to by Bret Harte as Jimtown, which was settled in

At 1O:0O 4.M., the party reached Sonora, the county seat of Tuolumne County, whose mining activity dates back to 1850. Sonora, today, is a prosperous and attractive city, with lumber, cattle and ranching as its chief industries. "But above Sonora begin the bars and flats that yielded $55,000,000 in gold." At Sonora a short stop of twenty minutes was made, where the party was met by members of the Sonora Chamber of Commerce.

At 10:30 A.M. the party arrived at Columbia, where they assembled at Recreation Park to listen to G. P. Morgan, Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools, who made an

excellent address on the early mining activities of Columbia and the surrounding country. He also recited many interesting reminiscences of some of the prominent characters of the camp. Columbia, with a population of 15,000 in the early 50's, today has a population of about 30O. The town shows very little change, and except for the fact that many of its buildings are vacant, its streets look the same as during the early days.

Following Mr. Morgan's address, a short stop was made in Columbia to make an inspection of the town. A visit rvas made to the old Wells-Fargo Express Company office, where Tom Conlon, who acted here as agent for the company for over thirty years, explained to the party the many interesting exhibits of the office. Mr. Conlon is 68 years of age, and was appointed agent for the Wells-Fargo Com-

pany in 1884. In the office is the old safe through which millions of dollars have passed, also the gold:weighing scales which have seen over 7O years of service and on which over $60,000,000 of gold wai measured. Decorating the walls of the office were many interesting pictures reminiscent of the early days, among which was a picture of a sawmill operated by Smith and Strong at Columbia in 1852. Owing to lack of business, Mr. Conlon states that the office was closed in 1914.

Several miles to the west, the party passed through Tuttletown, which is one of the oldest and best known mining towns of the Mother Lode. It received its name from Judge Tuttle, who lvas the 6rst judge of Tuttletown. Both Bret Harte and Mark Twain spent considerable time here.

Mark Twain's Cabin

Near Tuttletown is Jackass Hill, where Mark Twain lived for five months with W. R. Gillis and T. R. Stoker. Mr.

enjoyable hour and a half for lunch. The Committee furnished an excellent box lunch, consisting of sandwiches, fruit, relishes, cakes and candy. The Tuolumne Chamber of Commerce furnished coffee, soft drinks and ice cream.

Following the luncheon, W. R. Gillis was introduced and he entertained the party for neady a half hour, reciting many of his reminiscences of Mark Twain. His talk was greatly enjoyed by everybody, especially his reference of Mark Twain's fencing duel with a neighbor's goat, in which Mark came out second best.

The original Mark Twain cabin of logs and slabs was destroyed, and the present cabin on exactly the same spot and built to conform to the original cabin was constructed under the direction of Mr. Gillis. Mark Twain arrived at Jackass Hill on November 4, 1864, and during his stay here he collected the material for his story, "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras."

Gillis is still living and healthy and upon their arrival the cabin, he greeted the visitors. He is the custodian the cabin.

by bridge, where was formerly Robinson's Ferry, and which Bret Harte refers to in many of his stories. The town of Melones adjoins Robinson's Ferry, the town deriving its name from the form of the gold nuggets found here in the early mining days, which resembled melon seeds. Below the town of Melones, is the new Melones Dam, which is nearing completion, and costing $2,200,000. This reservoir will store 103,000 acre feet of water, which will be used for irrigation purposes in the San Joaquin and Oakdale irrigation districts. The dam is 84 feet wide at the base, 24 f.eet at the top, 210 feet high and 560 feet long. For the privilege of using the water passed through the dam for power purposes, power companies will pay $5,175,000 to the irrigation districts.

Angeles Camp

Leaving Melones, the road ascends up the Carson Hill grade, passing through the old mining town of Carsbn Hill, which hill was made famous when the second largest nugget discovered in North America was taken out. At zffi P.M., the advance guard of the party arrived at Angeles Camp, discovered by Angel and Carson in 1848, and thc scene of large mining activities in the pioneer days. Both Mark Twain and Bret Harte refer to Angeles Camp in their writings.

Moaning Cave and Mercer's Cave

At Vallecita many of the party stopped to inspect the Moaning Cave, so named because formerly a weird moaning sound came from one of its entrances. Near Murphys, another old-time mining town, is the well known Mercer Cave. Both caves present many peculiar geological formations, and except for providing provisions for light, the caves remain in their natural state.

Calaveras Big Trees

By 5:30 P.M., the entire party had arrived at the destination of the trip, the Big Tree Hotel and the Calaveras Big Tree Hotel and the Calaveras Big Trees. The Big Tree Hotel has seen continuous service f^or 67 vears and is at pregent under the management of Mrs. Job-Whiteside, and her son, Edgar H. Whiteside. After an excellent chickcn dinner, at 8O0 P.M. the party gathered around the big bonfire in front of the hotel to enjoy the evening program that was presided over by Frank Trower. After community singing that was led by George Ground, a big "IIoo-Hoo Nine" was given for Chas. G. Bird, who was Chairman of the Arrangements Committee, for his hard work and efforts in making the trip possible and so enjoyable.

Winfield Scott, promotion agent of the Western Pacific Railroad, gave an excellent talk on "Redwood Reforestation." Mr. Scott spoke on the Redwood nurseries at Fort Bragg, Scotia, and Albion, and the reforestation operations that have been conducted by the Redwood operators on cut-over lanils. He stated that by the middle of the next decade, there will be planted one redwood tree for evcry redwood tree cut in the Coast Redwood Region since 185O. Speaking of Sequoia gigantea, he said that experiments are b-ing carried. on to test these seeds for planting, and at the pres-nt time it is looked upon as a very promising tree for reforestation purposes.

J. R. Hall, Forest Supervisor of tbc Stanislaus National Forest, spoke on the timber resources of the Stanislaus National Forest. He stated that the Calaveras Grove, although located within the boundaries of the National Forest, is patented land. Mr. Hall said that the Calaveras Grove was located within the heart of the Sugar Pine Belt, which region produced some of the finest Sugar Pine timber produced in the High Sierra. He also spoke on timber sale operations on the National Forests, and other uses of the forest in which the public could participate, such as for recreation, summer homes, etc. Mr. Hall told of the spl€n-

did cooperation the Forest Service is receiving from the private lumber companies on the matter of fire-orotection. stating that the private concerns all maintain efficient fire organrzatlons.

S. R.. Black, California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers Association, spoke on "Reforestation from the Lumbermen's Standpoint." Mr. Black spoke on timber taxation and asked support for Amendment No. 10 that will appear on the ballot at the next election, which he said, ri'iruld make private reforestation possible. He said that the pine Association has organized a research department to investigate the possibilities of pine reforestition, and ways to e-conomically secure a sustained annual yield. He jtated that at .the present time, there are six lirge private pine companies _operating on a sustained annuallieia.

George Cornwall, The Timberman, Portlind, and I. E. Martin,'The California Lumber Merchant," San Franiisco, also made a few remarks.

During the evening, Miss Florence Trower gave some e-x,c.ellent recitations_, whi,le Mrs. James Farley sa-ng several deligh-tful. solos. Joe Cuneo, the "incomparabld Italian comedian" entertained the crowd with somC of his favorite Italian stories.

Sunday, May 16

^ Following an_excellent breakfast, and a trip through the Calaveras Big Tree Grove, the party started bn the ieturn trip-at.1l:00 A.M. Arriving at Angeles Camp at ll:55 +.IU., the calavan proceeded to Alta;illb, arriving at San Andreas at 12:30 P.M.

Calaveras Cement Company

The party then proceeded to the Calaveras Cement Company plant, which is four miles from San Andreas and located in the foothills of the Mother Lode Country, where they were the guests of the company for lunche6n. Following luncheon, a.short time wis spent in inspecting the plant which cost $2,000,000 to con-struct, and- to rihich point the Southern Pacific Railroad have extended their Valley Springs Branch from Lodi.

. Leaving the Calaveras Cement Company plant, the party then set out on the. last fag_ of the -retirrn trip, paising through Valley Springs, Bellota, Linden, and'fhince t6 Stockton where the party dispersed for their homes.

The Committee on Ariangements for this delightful and llloyable tlp _wqg made up as follows:-Chas- G. Bird, Chairman; R. F. Wells, H. C. Henry, Fred Holmes, A. J. Russell, and George Ground.

The committee that represented the Tuolumne Chamber of Commerce, who furnished refreshments for the luncheon and also looked after the entertainment of the party while at Sgnqra, Columbia and Mark Twain's Cabin, ionsisted of T. F. Symons, of the rvell known retail lumber concern 4ale & Sym_o,ns, Sonora, Chairman; Joseph Francis, Charles Goelz, and Howard Butchard

One Redwood Would Build Twenty-one Homes

A giant Redwood has been discovered on the holdings of the I-ittle River Redwood Company, near Crannell, that is believed to be the giant of giants, at least, outside of the national forest areas.

State Forester M. B. Pratt, in telling of his discovery, states that the tree is 308 feet high, measures 20 feet in diameter near the ground, and is estimated to contain 361,366 feet of usable lumber.

Now you can get your pencils and do some figuring. A9cording-to Mr. Fratt, thiJ amount oJ lumber would be s-ufficient-to build twenty-one homes, figuring that all lumber material in the structures would be from this tree. This gives an average ol 14,454 board feet to the house.

Hoo Hoo Annual to Open Officially ' , Sept. 9th, Then Adjourn to Sept. 28,29 and 30

The Thirty-fifth Hoo-Hoo Annual, to be held in Kansas City, Mo., will be officially opened at nine minutes after nine o'clock on the morning of Sept. 9th, in accord with the traditions of the Order, and adjourned to Sept. 8, P and 30.

- Postponement of the actual sessions was consented to by the,Supreme Nine when developments in Kansas City made such a move advisable.

Ol" of the things prompting the postponement was the inability to have several important organizations that have been_invited to cooperate in the Annual, arrange their dates for September 8, 9 and 10, the traditional da-tes for HooHoo Annuals.

Another reason is that a number of Kansas City's most prominent lumbermen, who are actively identified wittr the arrangements for the Annual, will be out of the city for some time.in advance of September 9th, and on that'date.

. M. M. Biner, general chairman of arrangements for the Annual, advised the Supreme Nine that Kansas City would .make the Annual the greatest in Hoo-Hoo histoiy, from .the standpoint of both attendance and'interest, if tlie postponement were permitted.

'Consent was given by the Supreme Nine with the un- .derstanding.that the meeting be officially opened on Sep- tember 9th, in accord with trtditions and iawi of the Ordir.

SANTA BARBARA BOYS HOLD PARTY

The Santa Barbara Lumbermen proved their hospitality on MaI 23rd when they held their Annual Jinks-at the Santa Cruz Islands. Promptly at five in the morning, the 'Sea 'Wolf," well crowded and under the direct guidance of J. "Spokane" Cronin, left the Santa Barbara whalf. A very wonderful barbecue was served at the Club House on the Islands. Most of the time was spent in fishing and hiking, the only contest of the day being for the prize offered for the party who appeared in the -most dilapidated clothes. Thiiwai *ott ,rery handily by J. E. Fritzinler of the Santa

Barbara Lumber Co. who carried a straw hat that was.a rvinner.

The Peoples_Lumher Co. of Ventura sent up four men and the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. was lepresented by E. S. Houghton.

There was just enough energy left in the crowd to sing "Hail ! Hail ! The Gang's All Here" as the boat warpeii into port at seven that night.

The boys in Santa Barbara know how to entertain and, as they promise another trip to these islands, a large crowd will be on hand at that time.

'FEW LUMBERMEN CAN AFFORD THIS STUNT

San Jose, May ll.-Ray Hicks has so much money that on next Friday afternoon he's going to stapd on a street corner and give it away !

But there's a catch in it:

You've got to answer his questions first.

Hicks, who is a wealthy lumberman, is incensed at the ignorance of his fellow citizens when it comes to civic matters. It all began four days ago when he made an experiment. He stood on the postoffice steps and asked the first thirteen persons who came along where the postoffice was.

"Only seven of them could tell me," he said today.

So he made up his mind to lead his townsmen into better ways, and decided to hold a personal educational campaign.

"I want to stand on a street corner and give away dollar bills for correct answers to my questions," he said.

The City Council voted unanimously to let Hicks stand at First and San Fernando streets from noon to I o'clock and 4 to 5 o'clock next Friday afternoon.

"I will give away at least $1SG-maybe much more," said Hicks this afternoon. "But they've got to answer my questions, first."

The questions will pertain to civic aftairs.

The Ho-me'EVery Farm WomanWants

Investigations reported by William Draper Brincklod, architect, in the April issue of Agdcultural Engineering throw a new light on farm home requirements. Through prize contests for farm women, over 36O0 amateur house plans and irrangements, representing the opinions and desires of an even greater number of persons in agricultural pursuits were made available for analysis. The contestants were well distributed geographically, and the summary of farm house requirements, as viewed by farm people, thus disclosed, is interesting and significant.

The two-story house is slightly more popular with the women than the one-story bungalow; and most of the plans for two-story dwellings include one first-floor bedroom. The trend of preference is toward a smaller house than was formerly customary on farms. Twenty-three per cent of the plans were for S-room structures; 26 per cent for six rooms ; ?-0 per cent for seven rooms; and 6nly 17 per cent called for eight rooms. The remaining 14 per cent showed a slight preference for 4-rooin dwellings.

Fifty per cent of the contestants favored shingle or lumber siding and 24 per cent preferred stucco surfaced structures. Brick walls appealed to 15 per cent of those expressing a preference, and hollow tile to 10 per cent. Only one in a hundred specified concrete blocks.

Hardwod floors were popular. Kitchens must be smaller; and a washroom, combining the purposes of an entry, storage for working clothes and boots, and a place for lvorkers to clean up, is required by many. Only one planner in four provides a pantry; the preference being for cupboards in the kitchen. Breakfast nooks, sleeping porches, and screened or glassed-in porches off the kitchen or dining room are very popular; but the sun room, so frequently seen in urban dwellings, appeals to few; and the front or entrance hall appears only occasionally.

A. Y. D. For Lumbermen Too

There was one particular thing about the merchandising operationr of th€ autornobile industry that the public always resentd criticized, and grumbled about that is now being very rapidly and righteously changed.

That is the change in pricing cars from "F.O.B.t' to 'A.Y.D."-f1e1a a price quotation that was deeptive arrd m€aningless to one that is honert and self-e:rplanatory.

Until a short time ago yotr aslred an auto dealer what was the price of a certain car, and he said "Seventeen hundred dollars F.O.B. Chicago; freight and tax extn "

Some answer, rvasntt it?

There war no more r€nsc to it than thene rvould be if you asked a clothing merchant the price of a suit of clothes, and he quoted you the price F.O.B. New York City, freight, handling, a,nd retail profit added.

Now along carne an auto firm that cawht the public vier+'point, and wanted to give tlre public a square deat in the matter, and developed the phrase "AY.D." in auto ralesAT

YOUR DOOR.

Of oourre, that ir the only thing the buyer rvas EVER intenested in What he wanted to lcrow was what the car would cost him, delivered at his door.

And now, of course, the others are rushing to fdl in line. lt won't be long before tlre old half-wittd F.O.B. method of quoting and a& vertising the price of motor cars, will dis"e pear. There waa never a grain of righteousness or intelligence behind it.

The same change is taking place in the lumber industry, not so rapidlyr but just as cer tainly. In the old days the farmer cane to the Iumber dealer a3d caid: ,.I .rn thinLing of building a two-story barn about thirty feet wi& and si:rty feet long, and I'm wondering what it will cost me?"

The lumberman replied: tDimension is so much a thousand boards and shiplap ane s<) much a thousand, and shingler ane ff) much a thousand.tt

Of cours€, there is less sense and lecs intelligence in such an anEwer tlran tihere is in the

anEwer of the auto man who quotes an F.O.B. factory price.

There IS more fairness and honesty in the lumbemantE arEwer, because that sortof dGaler has no intention or desire of befuddling his prospect, as has the auto man, or of making him think the price ie lower than it redly is, as the F.O.B. auto man DOES.

With the lumberman who is asked about a buildhg and guotes the price of building material, the care is pure IGNORANCE. Not only . is he NOT tnnng to make the pnoepect think his prices are l,ower than reality, but his methods usually have tlre oplrcsite effecu Nine times qrt of ten a fat price on an intelligendy figured bill for the desired building soun& smaller to the proapect than the per thousand quotation

This is well illustrated by tln oftquoted example of replacing the kitchen f,oor with har& wood. Tell the lady hardrrood fooring ie $150 a thousand, and you rare her to death. Tell her you can aell her enoqhfor her kitdren floor for $17, and it looks light.

But the lumber industry, like the auto industry, must get further away fnom the meaninglelE method of relling thinga

The man who goes to an auto agent for automobile infomation, has a right to aErum€ that he is dealing with an enpert and a apecialist in auto affairg.

The man who goer to a retail lumber dealer has a right to arsume that he fu dealing with sohe.one that knorw mone about building with his matedalE than anyone elre in town, and is in position to give him expert advice and assistance.

The fellow who only carriee building materiab and sells them in bulk, furnishcs rro ex.pert help, and is in the sabe box as the F.O.B. auto man. He is depriving the public and kidding hinself.

[.et's have a whole lot more A.Y.D. businera in the lumber indnst"y. Let's help every pro& pect to use OUR materials to HIS better advantage, so that he may lcrow what his building func{ionE will cost and what they will be lik+AT HIS DOOR.

First Publicity on New Grade Certificate

To C. W. Pinkerton and Guy Tyler, two enthusiastic relatives of Mr. Pep, goes the medal for the first newspaper .advertising on the newly adopted "Grade Certificate".

Mr. Pinkerto'n, as everyone knows, is President of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, owner and manager of the Whittier Lumber Company and is an enthusiastic booster for Grade Marking, Trade Marking and Grade Certifying. In fact, he is the originator of the Grade Certificate Plan as now used by a large number of the members of the Association.

Guy Tyler is manager for the Barr Lumber Company, at Whittier, and is also keen for any new merchandising plans, and particulady the Grade Certificate.

The advertisement reproduced on the opposite page is the first gun to be fired by any California retailers on the new plan. This page advertisement appeared in a recent issue of a Whittier daily, and needless to say, caused considerable comment.

The use of the Grade Certificate is limited to members of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. Members of the Association desiring to adopt the plan are granted a ffanchise by the San Francisco offices, furnished with a sglgly of the material, newspaper advertising matter, etc.

The operation is simple. Deilers using thl Certificates will furnish one with any lumber bill, on request, with the grades of the various items plainly specified and with the Certificate properly endorsed by an officer of the company.

According to Mr. Pinkerton the benefits of the plan are

R EDrryO OD

many. Reliable contractors are protected from unscrupulous competitors using inferior materials, speculative builders may display the Certificate to prospective buyers, an individual builder, usually inexperienced in lumber grades, is given protection in the lumber he buys, the insurable value of the building is raised, and, most important of all, the value of the building is unquestioned by the building and loan company, financing the building.

"I predict that it will be a very short time until a majority of the retailers of the state will be using the plan," Mr. Pinkerton stated, "just as soon as dealers see the favorable reception that we are glad to report, they will be drawn into line and rve will have at least 8O per cent of the lumber being sold in the state ,going on the job with a Grade Certificate."

In Whittier one loan company has announced intentions of demanding that the Certificate be furnished on all jobs financed by them. Bankers have stated their approval of the plan and their intention of watching closely all applications for loans, to see if the dealer that is to furnish the material is selling lumber that is "Certified".

In Pasadena, ten of the twenty yards have signed up for a supply of the Certificates, four yards in Santa Mohica, two in Glendale, all of the Hammond yards in Southern California, all of the Valley Lumber Company yards, and cther retailers in Porterville, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Fullerton, Anaheim, Pomona, Sawtelle and other iommunities, have the plan in operation.

Mr. Pinkerton is intensely gratified over the success of their first efforts.

ON GROWING OLD

Uncle Joe Cannon said on his eighty-ninth birthday: "The way to grow old is to pay no attention to it. Some men retire from businpss at sixty or so, build bungalows in Los Angeles, and do nothing over afterwards but sit on the front porch and listen to the hardening of their arteries. That's a bad thing.

"A worse thing is to join one of our year around seashore colonies. There the men all get to be golf cranks, while their wives, never missing an auction in the Japanese shops on the board walk, become auction cranks.

"Or1ce I spent a week-end at a seashore cottage wherc my host and hostess were cranks of this kind. My bedroom was next to theirs, and f hardly got a wink of sleep for all night long the golf crank kept yelling out in his dreams-'Fore !'-and instantly his auction-crank wife would il1s1pgj-'fqur and a half'."

A few minutes after an alarm of fire was given in a hotel, one of the guests joined a group that was watching the fire and he chaffed them on their apparent excitement.

"There was nothing to be excited aboutr" he said. "I took my time about dressing, lighted a cigarette, didn't like the knot in my necktie so I tied it over again, and then walked out. That's how cool f was."

"Fine," said one of his friends, "but why didn't you put on your trousers?"

MY FAVORITE STORIES

By lack Dionne

Age not guaranteed-Some I have told for 2O years-Some less.

Salvation's Free?

There are many good colored stories built around the good old adage that "Salvation's Free." Some of them have been related in this column before.

One of the best ones concerns the revival meeting that was taking placg and the exhorter had exhorted until the congregation was tired with respoqding, and the germ of religious enthusiasm had sunk deep into many souls. Then the time came for taking up the collection, and the re-

vivalist approached that very important subject directly, and withqut equivocation. He said:

"Bredern an' sisterrS de choir will now sing "I'm Glad Salvation's Free." While de choir is singin' dis beautiful hymn, Deacon Skinnem will pass de contribution box. An' please remembah--fslks, dat while salvation undoubtedly am free, we has to pay de choir fer singin' bout it, so donit hol' back Give widout stint an' widout stinginess, from yo'means an' not from yo' meanness."

The best way to make to LISTEN TO HIM. the talking. Try it !

In his introductory remarks, Mr. Stroud said that Mr. Cochran has been associated with the lumber business 4O yea{s, and for 38 years he has been connected with the Union Lumber Co. Mr. Cochran is an old Hoo-Hoo member, No. 6251, and when he arose to talk he was greeted with a rousing Hoo-Hoo yell.

Mr. Cochran gave a very interesting talk on the itinerary of Commission, which included stops at Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, all in Australia, and Wellington, Christs Church, Dunedin and Moari, New Zealand. Ee also discussed the agricultural and timber resources of Australia. He said that they have some wonderful native woods in Australia, and in referring to their sawmill operations he stated that the average sawmill cuts about 8 M feet per day, while there are two mills there that make a maximum cut of 35 M feet per day. The party 'vr/as very much impressed with the harbor at Sydney, which he stated is the laigest harbor in Australia and one of the finest harbors in the rvorld. On the return trip, the party spent six days in Honolulu, where they were wonderfully entertained.

The purpose of the trip was to make a survey of lumber conditions in Australia and New Zealand, to determine if they could better serve their trade there, and what the lumber merchants and importers could do for them, he stated. He paid the lumbermen of Australia and New Zealand many fine compliments for the many courtesies and wonderful hospitalily that was extended to them. Four months was spent in making the trip. The party sailed from Vancouver, B. C., and returned on the S.S. Matsonia.

The words were written by Kenneth A. Millican, manager of the Service Departmenl, Pacific National Bank, San- Francisco, and was'rendered with much gusto by the gathering at the banquet.

The words of the song are as follows:

__ (To the tune of "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms.)

Oh ! Harry Cahalan

Why all the deep wailin'

Why slice all the divots to hell ?

Just 'cause Paul and his forces

Walked all 'round the courses

And said how your playing was swell ?

You MUST give us credit

How kindly we said it

Whenever you foozled your putt

How warmly we guided

And quickly decided

You played in the style of King Tut.

What a help we have all been

When crossing the tall green

Encouraging you in your play

In the next match you play in

We know you'Il be sayin'

"I miss you ! I miss you ! Hooray ! !"

Harry is a great golf enthusiast, and Mr. Millican must have got his inspiration to write this song after seeing Harry do his stuff on the links.
