CAPTAIN CR,AZY LIKE A FOX

Skipper's Leap Overboard Had 9500 Worth of Reason Behind It

Diamonds are diamonds, but a sudden leap overboard is merely a bath to Capt. John Olsson, master of th6 Hart-Wood Lumber Cornpany's steamer Quinault,

He had laid his tie and $500 diamond stickpin above his wash basin for a shave, preparatory to going ashore. But as he went to don the articles he let out a shriek and burst from the cabin and dived overboard like a man demented.

Then he swam to the ships scupper's and, treading water, cupped his hands under the stream issuing from his basin through a waste pipe into the harbor. His hunch was the right one, for a moment later the diamond tumbled into his hands on its way to the sga.-p1em the Los Angeles Times, May'17.

Lumber Company Moves Into New Plant

After nineteen years of progress in South San Francisco, the South City Lumber & Supply Co. are now located in their new $150,000 new plant. The mill building is 70x120 feet and equipped with new machinery. Adjoining the mill, is a dry shed 30x140 feet and a warehouse 30x50 feet. With spur track facilities, vertical storage for lumber and the most up-to-date machinery, the plant is able to reduce the handling costs to a minimum. W. H. Dinning and I. E. Horton are the managers of the company.

Enclosed find check for $2.00 for subscription to your valuable paper.

Am leaving Tuesday as a dele$ate to the Rotary International Convention that meets in Ostend, Belgium, on June 5th.

Prospects for business here this summer look very good.

Redwood Production And Sales Figures
