The California Lumber Merchant - June 1935

MODERNIZE THE MODERN WAY

With CATIFORNIA PINE PIYW00D and WAIIBOARD

To assure the success of modern interior treatments, "Paul Bunyan's" California Pine Plywood is specifred. For the finest finishes in paints, enamels or lacquers there is no base equal to California Pine at anywhere near the cost.

In some of America's finest stores this Red River product is used extensively for the construction of fixtures and wall decoration.

Quality is the first consideration for installations of this class. At the same time its low cost makes this strong, light, easy-working material available for a multitude of uses where economy is vital.

WM. TAYLOR, SON & CO. CLEVELAND, OHIO

Over $5(X),0O0 was invected last year in modernization of this leading mercantile house. ttPaul Bwryan'st' California Pine Plywood, supplied by the Davis Plywood Corporation, played an important part in this work. The Taylor management has expressed their entire satirfaction with itc quality and eoonomy.

Strike Situation in Northwest Unchangedrrr

Practically all Fir Carso Mills Still Down Redwood Mills

Vith approximately 401000 workers idle the strikd of the Sawmill & Timber Vorkers union in the Fir region of Oregon and Vashington, started its fourth week May 27, with the situation practically unchanged as regards all major operations.

The Northwest Council of the unions in conference at Long. view May 27 decided, to reduce their demands to 5O cents an hour minimum wage, a 40-hour week, and recognition of the union for collective bargaining.

On instructions of Governor Chas. H. Martin the Oregon State Board of Conciliation opened peace negotiations in Potland May 24, bat the meeting adjourned .rntil M.y 27 owing to the absence of most of the sawmill operators at a meeting in Tacoma.

At this meeting on May 27 three operators of large Portland savrmills told the State Board that they are not negotiating Preparatory to reopening, and will not negotiate, with union leaders. The mills are Inman-Poulsen Lumber Co., Eastern & Vestern Lumber Co., and Clark & Wilson Lumber Co.

The Vest Coast Lumberments Association reported production for the week ended May 18 of. 25,62918O1 feet, and stated that the production is the lowest in the Douglas Fir region for any six-day period in the records of the Association, not excepting the holiday week containing the Fourth of July. It is estimated that the drop in production of 125rOO0rO00 feet for thd first two weeks of the strike had cost the industy about t2rooo,oOo, half of which is loss of wages to labor.

Vestern Pine mills are all still una{fected by the strike, with the exception of one mill in the Spokane district.

Redwood mills are all running with full crews.

FIR.-The same cargo mills were running l|rIay 28 that were running two weeks ago. No others have started up. Average prices are .15.00 to $6.00 higher than before the srike.

No more rail mills have shut down in the last two weeks. Prices have increased somewhat on all items, and a large volume of lumber has moved by raril into California from Villamette Valley mills. B & Better V. G., C Vertical and D Grades of fooring are just about out of the market. There is a great scarcity of lath. The greatest shortages that have developed in the yards up to now are in uppers, shingles and lath.

SHINGLES.-Practically all the Red Cedar shingle mills are downo and advances up to 80 cents a square over pre-strike prices have been paid by dealers for such shipments as they have,been able to get.

Op"rating

PLYV/OOD.-AII Douglas Fit plywood plants are down, and all quotations have been wit{rdrawn. Supplies of plywood and wallboard in the hands of jobbers in California are run-

ning low.

PINE.-Most of the mills have more orders than they can handle. Some mills have advanced prices from lf.O0 to f3.00. Stocks are badly broken.

The Vestern Pine Association reports for the week ended May 18 new business totaling 70,054.000 ieetr 63 per cent above the three-year weekly avetege for May. Orders for the year to date are 31 per cent above the total for t{re corresponding period last year.

REDWOOD.-Dty uppers are all scarce. Common stocks are spotted, many sizes and grades being extremely scarce. Demand is very heavy. Most mills have 60 days' business on their books. Elfective I&'Iay 24 the Redwood mills increased the price of Redwood in all territory afrccred, to offset the in. crease in water freight rate.

Green Redwood shingles are available, but stocks are depleted and shipments are being made from freshly manufactured stocks.

Shingle operators are making every effort to serve the trade in the face of the sho,rtage of Red Cedar shingles. Although some minor advances have been made operators do not plan to take undue advantage of the shingle scarcity to advance prices.

Cargo arrivals at Los Angeles harbor showed a falling olf for the week ended l|vf'ay 25. During the week, Fir ardvals totaled abott 7r9l2r00o feet as against l4r274rOOO feet for the week ended May 18. Redwood cargo arrivals for the week totaled 745.OOO f.eet. There is practically no unsold lumber on the public docks at Los Angeles harbor, and most of the lumber arriving is going on immediate jobs. 42 vessels were operating in the coastwise lumber service on May 25; 57 boats were laid LTP.

California is showing continued improvement in building operations in both new construction and modetnization. Fot the first 22 d,ays in May, building permits in Loc Angeles totaled fl1,911r524 as compared with $702,973 fot the same period last year. Building permits in Loc Angelec for the first four months and the first twenty-one days of May totaled fl12,887,E95 which is $7,744,t77 more than the total for the corresponding period in 1934,

Weyerha euser Boy Still Missing Loyalty of Redwood Sawmill !(/orkerg

The nation was shocked to hear of the kidnaping of George Philip Weyerhaeuser of Tacoma, Wash., 9-year old son of John P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., nationally known lumberman and executive vice president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., who disappeared at noon. Friday, May 24, while on his way home from school.

Several thousand workers of the Weyerhaeuser interests state that they stand ready to march into the woods and sear,ch every acre of forest land near Tacoma if necessary.

As we go to press, news dispatches from the Northwest report that assurance has been given that the boy has not been harmed and that negotiations are under way with the kidnapers for the boy's return to his parents whi.ch is believed near. F. R. Titcomb, general manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. and an uncle of the missing boy, is acting as intermediary for the family.

Birthday Number Postponed

Because of the strike and attendant conditions, we will have no special Birthday Number, but hope, later in the season, rvhen the strike ends and tJle lumber industry begins to share in the apparent improvement in building conditions, we will get out an issue memorializing that fact.

Appreciated by Operators

Redwood operators have expressed their appreciation of the remarkable loyalty that has been demonstrated by their employes at all the Redwood sawmills in the area affected by the strike called on May 15 by the Sawmill & Timber Workers local union.

All the mills are running with full crews. Longshoremen have refused to handle lumber manufactured in Humboldt County since May 15 for shipment by water, but there is no interference with shipments by rail.

Mrs. Celia Laughead

Mrs. Celia Laughead, wife of W. B. Laughead, advertising manager of the Red River Lumber Company, Westwood, Calif., passed away May 12, as a result of an aut+' mobile accident on the Red Bluff-Susanville highway, west of Mineral.

Mrs. Laughead, who was driving the car, which left the highway and turned over several times, was unconscious when found and died a few hours later. She was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hanson of Westwood, who were both seriously injured.

Mr. Laughead was in Minneapolis when the accident happened, but returned to Westwood by plane, arriving the following day.

By Jack Dionne

NRA is dead. And with it dies other prospective laws that have frightened ernployers and retarded recovery. It is my earnest belief that immediate business improvement will follow.

*:tt<

President Roosevelt went before Congress and warned it against "printing press money" and the possible dire consequences possible i[ inflation starts.

**:k

Just another case of having your own logic used against you. He cut the dollar down from 100 to 60 odd cents, and assured the country that with the same old name and address on the back of the coin the devalued dollar was just as good as the old one.

Naturally a lot of ,",0: ";n;y carried the same argument further (justified by the fact that the President is authorized to cut the dollar as much farther down as he takes a notion), and asked the very pertinent question: "If a sixty cent dollar is as good as a one hundred cent dollar, why isn't a ten cent dollar as good as a sixty cent dollar, or a printing press dollar as good as either, so long as Uncle Sam's name is on the cover?"

tf,ft

Same measuring stick, it seems to me. Personally I don't agree with this conclusion, neither do I agree with the President's conclusion (that the sixty cent dollar is just as good as the one hundred cent dollar) upon which the latter is based. I think fooling with the dollar is fooling with dynamite. But Mr. Roosevelt started it, and now, like a boomerang, it comes back to fight him.

I don't understand money, I don't understand inflation, or just what causes it to go wild, or how it could be controlled. And I don't think anyone in Washington has the slightest understanding of this potential cyclone. Monkeying with TNT is a mild form of amusement in contrast with monkeying with money contents and money values.

But never mind about money. In the first place we haven't any, and inflation would do us about as little harm as anyone we know of. In the second place there is Hell to pay and now hot pitch has broken loose in the lumber industry in the form of the biggest strike in history.

Looks to me like that dear old Section 7-A of that equally delightful NRA is in full bloom on the Pacific Coast right now in the sawmill industry. Every time the lumber business shows signs of picking up, along comes something or other and knocks it for a double loop. It's that way right now'

There have been many recent signs of definite improvement all along the line in the lumber business. Building is picking up, credits are slowly relaxing, lumber has been selling rather more freely than in the past two years, and we were all getting highly hopeful, when along comes the Pacific Coast tie-up. +**<

The Coast Fir territory of the Pacific Northwest has been operating under a code, working code hours, under code conditions, and paying code wages. The hours are the shortest and the wages the highest in their histo.ry. The wages paid in the lumber mills of the Northwest are the highest paid in any part of the lumber producing world. And it was here the strike was called.

***<

Newly organized unions demanded rnuch shorter hours, almost double the prevailing code wage scale, and a closed shop. Nothing more. The wage scale demanded is 25 cents an hour, the weekly working time thirty hours. Result, practically all of the sawmills, planing mills, box factories, door factories, plywood factories, and shingle mills of the Washington and Oregon Coast territorlr, closed down.

**,f

Several large concerns tried to bargain with their men, offering them slightly increased wage scale, but the offer was refused. It is regrettable that it was ever made. Those mills have been operating under a code for the past year, and LOSING MONEY. That is true of practically all the Fir mills everywhere.

So they are closed down. Some of them were closed by walk-outs, others by threats, others because the demands were too impossible to justify consideration. Fir lumber manufactured at 75 cents an hour would be just a stock of large, clumsy, white elephants. How could it be sold at the price that must be based on such a cost? Who

would buy it? What with? Why? How could it pos- know they will be fed. And, since the very character of sibly be sold in competition with other lumber, and with the demands upon the mills make them i.mpossible of 4cother materials? ceptance, the hands of the manufacturers seem tied. And

***

Of course, the men that called the strike didn't ask that question. Probably didn't consider it material or relevant. The fact that the only way a mill could accede to their demands would be to be able to sell the lumber manufactured under such conditions AT LEAST FOR COST probably never came up for consideration when the strike was in prospect.

***

In the first place a Fir mill paying 75 cents an hour for common labor would be unable to meet the market price of other woods; in the second place it would not be able to meet the rnarket price of other materials, other than wood; in the third place it would not be able to assist the BUILDING INDUSTRY in meeting the competition of those things-other than buildings-that are in hot competition for the consumer's dollar.

.* * 'F

Supposing some mill had accepted the terms demanded, it could only have operated until its yards and sheds were glutted with lumber (assuming that its money to meet payroll held out that long).

*'* *

There isn't any possible way in this world that a Fir mill could meet the demands of the union and continue operation. Lumber made at such cost would be utterly unsalable, anywhere, for any purpose. So the sawmills-or nearly all of them-in that district, are closed down tight. So are the other lumber using industries already mentioned. And a huge army of men are out of employment, and just at a time when it looked as though the lumber industry was going to start absorbing some of the men they used to work. And the Pacific Northwest is prostrate.

The Inland Empire *U* "." not afiected. Few Pine mills in the West are closed. The Redwood mills were organized in California, and a strike called, but not enough of their men walked out to close them down, and the Redwood mills kept on operating. The mills chiefly affected are the mills of the great Coast territory in Washington and Oregon. ***

How long the strike will continue is about as problematical as anything in this world could possibly be. In the old days strikers faced the hazard of hunger and sustenance, in case of a long continued strike. Today they

no one can even guess how long this may last. ***

Crow's Pacific Coast Lumber Digest and the Four L Lumber News, both published in strike territory, report dire conditions. Both declare that the large majority of employees have not voluntarily joined the strike movement, but that "coercion, intimidation, and violence" have played a strong hand in lining them up. Crow's Digest reports that rocks thrown through the windows of the homes of "hold-outs" have been very effective in making them join the strike movement. Fear of physical violence has been the chief argrunent used, according to most reports. ***

It must be remembered that in this strike territory there has always been an unusually large communistic element of citizenship that adds radical violence to every labor movement, and strikes in that territory have always been extremely violent. The decision of the rnills to close rather than contest the issue is not difficult to understand. It is reported that there are only watchmen on the job at the closed mills, even the office forces being let go as there i9 no lumber being shipped or made either, and at various mills they have slipped off the belts and prepared for a long rest'

Crow's Digest says that the organizers, "made bold by the assurance that they have the present administration behind them, are racing about the Northwest and authotizing radicals to act as organizers. These organizers are making full use of the black page in the history of the Pacific Coast last summer when the longshoremen in their strike, supported by the same administration, carried on a reign of lawlessness that saw men beat into insensibility on the busiest corners of our largest cities." This paper adds that "'the Relief Administration wired out to the Portland Relief Bureau wilhin forty-eight hours after the first strike had been called here and gave instructions that strikers were to be accorded the same consideration for relief as anyone else." ***

In short. a man who refuses to work for 45 cents an hour or to let anyone else take his place and work for that amount, gets the same relief as the unfortunate fellow who can't find a job.

And what is the effect ; ;" i,.*ou, industry generally?

Well, there never was a truer saying than the old adage that it's an ill wind that blows nobody good. Naturally the other softwood territories are profiting by the paralysis of the great Fir territory. The order files for Western Ponderosa Pine are reported high and the demand rapidly increasing. Redwood mills report a fast stiffening rail demand. And Southern Yellow Pine, Fir's direct competitor in the softwood building markets of the entire country, is having a field day. Nothing less.

There is almost a runaway market for Yellow Pine in the South. Because all this came just at a tirne when the demand for lumber was showing general and definiie signs of rapid stimulation. When the big strike came in the midst of an already quickening market, things began hap-

pening in a hurry. Southern Pine order files are heaped high, prices have been steadily increasing, and the buyers are much on the run' ,k ,k ,<

The shingle situation is outstanding. The entire country is in need of wooden shingles, and right now can't get them. Shingles are needed for immediate USE, not for speculation, and the past week has seen frantic scrambling all over the country to find a way to solve the problem of shingle needs. That the manufacturers of other than wooden shingles are already reaping a harvest as a result of utter lack of wooden shingle supply, is already a noted fact, the same "ill wind" that hurt Fir lumber and helping Yellow Pine, now helping manufacturers of asphalt and other roofings.

4L Presidenr Predicts 100 Mills Will Start Soon as Result of New !(/age Increases

By a vote of 20 to 8 of the directors of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen, all 4L mills agreed to grant increases of 5 to 10 cents hourly, efiective June 1. The decision came after a three-day meeting in Portland, May 20 to 22, breaking a deadlock between the 14 employers and 14 employes on the board of directors, who voted earlier on three other wage proposals.

On the strength of this friendly settlement, W. C. Ruegnitz, president predi'cted that all 4L mills, comprising about 100 operations, will open simultaneously, probably between June 3 and June 10. He said the new wage scale is acceptable to all 4L employes. The new scale is reported to be the highest average wage paid in the industry in 14 years.

Pine Demands Heavy

The demand for California Pine is heavy according to Willis J. Walker,'chairman of the board of the Red River Lumber Company, who recently returned to San Francisco from a two weeks' visit to the company's mills at Westwood.

"We have all the business we can handle, and while we have a moderately good stock it is nevertheless broken by the heavy demands on it. Our California Pine plywood plant has 60 days business on its books and has stopped taking orders for the time being," Mr. Walker stated.

Fred H. Morehouse has joined the Los Angeles sales staff of MacDonald & Harrington, Ltd., and will sell Ponderosa and Sugar Pine in the Southern California territory, He is well known in retail lumber circles, having been associated with the Hammond Lumber Company at Los Angeles for fourteen years, the last eight years as a salesman in their Pine Department calling on the Southern California retail trade.

Buttons For Me

He thinks of the home his boyhood knew, $.nd, viewed through the mists of the past, It glows like a gem of purest ray And he grieves that it could not last.

The house was sheltered by rustling trees, There *.te flo*"ts and a wimpling stream; And now enshrined in his loyal heart, Of course it's a beautiful dream.

But his clothes were washed in the little brook. Or in water drawn from the well:

And he bathed in the kitchen each Saturday nightJust how, he refuses to tell.

He read at night by a coal oil lamp, Or a candle's guttering flame, He split the kindling and chopped the wood, And his neighbors all did the same.

He plowed the fields and he drove to town Over roads that were mud or sand; He sat on a stool in the cold grey dawn And milked the bossies by hand.

So I smile discreetly, indeed I do, When he harps on "the good old days," When he groomed the horses and shoveled snow And suffered in various ways.

In memory a dear old fashioned home Is priceless, I must confess; But give me a strictly modern home, With gadgets-and buttons to press.

Furniture Plant to Open

On June 3, z,An men are scheduled to resume work at the Doernbecker and B. P. John furniture plants in Portland, the union workers having con,cluded an agreement with their employers. The 2,000 workers asked a 50 cent an hour minimum wage by June 1, but voted June 25 to accept the'counter proposal to defer the full increase until 1936.

Supreme Court Rules NRA Unconstitutional

The United States Supreme Court in a unanimous deci' sion ruled that the National Industrial Recovery Act codes were unconstitutional on May 27. The court also held invalid provisions of the codes fixing wages and hours of labor within the states, The court unanimously ruled unconstitutional Section 3 of the NIRA, under which congress delegated to the President authority to make codes. The court held this authority had not been sufficiently limited or defined. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes read the decision. Justices Harlan F. Stone and Bejamin J. Catdoza concurred in its results in a separate opinion.

Briefly the 'court ruled that:

Congress had exceeded its authority when it delegated to the.executive branch of the government power to promulgate codes of fair competition having the force of law because it did not set up standards to guide the executive, and {or several other reasons.

The federal government has no power to regulate hours and wages in transactions affecting interstate commerce.

The court's opinion was delivered in the Schechter poultry, case from New York, selected by the government to test its power to regulate wages and hours of workers through more than 50O ,codes of fair competition.

The A. L. A. Schechter Poultry Corp., the Schechter Live Poultry Market, fnc., and four individuals composing the firms, engaged in the live poultry business in Brooklyn,

were indicted for violating the live poultry code of fair competition and with conspiracy to violate the code' In the federal district court for eastern New York, the members of the two firms were found guilty on the conspiracy counts, and with their firms, were. found guilty on the remaining counts relating to trade practices. The second circuit court of appeals approved the convictions on seventeen counts, including conspiracy, and set aside the conviction on two counts, which charged violation of minimum wages and maximum hours provisions of the code. It held these two provisions unconstitutional'

The Supreme Court's opinion invalidating the NIRA affects 556 codes and 201 supplementary codes under which most of American business is operating.

Has Good Stock of Timbcrs

"We are fortunate in having a large and well assorted stock of timbers,." said A. F. Bulotti, secretary-treasurer of Loop Lumber Company, San Francisco, when asked recentiy how his firm is prepared to meet the increased jobbing demand occasioned by the Northwest lumber strike' Thii firm has for many years specialized in long and heavy timbers, and they bought heavily a few weeks ago to anticipate the strike.

RED\TOOD FOR INTERIORS

For interior decoration California Redwood is unparalleled. Its natural color, soft and warm, its subdued but distinctive grain and satin-like texture, lend an air of distinction unobtainable in erry other wood.

Many pleasing and extraordinary effects are obtainedby the use of stains, paints and enamels, often combined with mechanical finishes such as hand adzing, wire brushing, sand etching or carving.

Mr. Bonestel was born in Catskill. New York. in 18,18 and came to California in 1862. He attended school in Oakland and at West Point, later locating in Iowa where he married Miss Mary Riley in 1872. He came to California again in 1883 and went into the lumber business. He helped found the Peoples Lumber Company in 1890, which operates several retail lumber yards with headquarters at Ventura, and was associated with the business until his death. Mrs. Bonestel, his wife, passed away just one week before him on May 5. Mrs. Bonestel was born in London, England, in 1854.

Joins Wegtern Pinc Research Staff

Portland, Ore., May 14-Dr. E. E. Hubert, Pro,fessor in the School of Forestry at the University of Idaho since 1925, joined the Research Staff of the Western Pine Association on May l5th.

Dr. Hubert is a valuable addition, since he brings to the problems of industrial research a broad background of forest products research work. In addition to directing many of the research activities of the University of Idaho School of Forestry, he has taken an important part in the study and control of blister rust in the White Pine forests of the Inland Empire. Prior to his asso,ciation with the University of Idaho, he was with the United States Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. All told, his experience in forestry and research covers a period of twenty-fq,re years and he is the author of many publications dealing with his work.

This extension in the research work of the Western Pine Association comes as a part of the greatly in,creased activities in trade promotion. It is the policy of the Association to back up its efforts to extend markets with cold, hard, scientific facts and it enjoys the distinction of being the only Lumber Association to maintain a research laboratory. The laboratory was first established in 1925 by Mr. Albert Hermann, who is in charge of research work, and even through the difficult period of the depression the Association has maintained this work which has demonstrated its value to the produ'cer and user of lumber. The third member of the research stafr is Mr. Carl A. Rasmussen, who has been with the laboratory since September, 1934.

Together with the expansion of the research staff, important additions are being made to the laboratory equipment, which will permit a wider variety of work than heretofore. The program of research which has been approved by. the Promotion Committee covers a field of great value to the user and the produ'cer of the Western Soft Pines.

Hammond Redwood Op.rations Expand

Initiating a new program of extending its production facilities to even larger proportions, the Hammond & Little River Redwood Company is installing considerable new equipment.

A new 2,000 kilowatt turbine engine is being set up this week at the company's Redwood mills at Samoa, Humboldt County. This powerful turbine engine, augmented by the present equipment, .combines to generate suffi,cient power to furnish light for a city the size of Bakersfield, and in addition provide steam heat for the stores and office buildings in a city of this size.

The Hammond Company is also increasing its Caterpillar Tra,ctor fleet in the woods, and is purchasing other new machinery.

"We are ,convinced," says an executive of the ,company, "that the time has come to invest in equipment and facil-

Los Angeles Housing Exposition Attracts Large Crowds

With over 100,000 attending during the first week, the National Housing Exposition in the Pan-Pacific Auditorium at Los Angeles, is now in its second rveek. The exposition opened Saturday, May 18, with elaborate ceremonies and 20,000 in attendance and the large ,crowd found the auditorium which is 400 feet long and 250 feet wide filled with exhibits which demonstrate in every detail the latest developments 'of home construction, furnishing and equipment.

Surrounding the auditorium are many features such as the model homes completely furni,shed of the Federal Housing Administration, Hayward Lumber & Investment Co. and the Los Angeles Times, also the "Village of Tomorrow", a presentation of modern dwellings in miniature which were made by various Southern California high school students, and a "Theatre-of-the-Stars" where seventy-five artists present nightly a colorful pageant entitled "Housing Through the Ages" illustrating housing progress fr,om the earliest ages to the present time.

Among the lumber and building material firms having exhibits are E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Pioneer-Flintkote Company, W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Masonite Corp.; El Rey Products Co., and Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co., J. H. Baxter & Co. and the West Coast Wood Pr'eserving Co. More than 100 exhibits are in place in the large auditorium.

The exposition is sponsored by the Los Angeles Better Housing Program Committee of which Henry S. MacKay, Jr., is chairman, and was constructed and is supervised by an exposition board of governors headed by George L. Eastman as chairman. Cliff Henderson is manager of the exposition. The exposition will close on Jane 2.

ities for greater and more efficient production. With momentum in the building construction market being constantly ac'celerated through the Federal Housing Act, we are preparing for a large volume of production at our Redwood mills."

The Hammond & Little River Redwood Company recently announced its estimate of the Hammond holdings in Redwood timber acreage as enough to last for a ,century at present rate of cutting. This conveys to the lumber industry some idea of the vast stands of timber in the great Redwood belt along the seacoast of Northern California.

It is generally,con'ceded by all authorities that the supply of good commercial Redwood timber at the normal rate of controlled produ,ction, with reforestation, will last indefinitely.

SOCRATIC SELF INSPECTION

Socrates taught, nearly five hundred years before Jesus Christ was born, that a man could only succeed by the building and development of his own character, and that in order to do that successfully he must be able to stand and watch himself go by, as it were. He said a man should look upon his own mind, his own character, as a thing apart, and he should sit off and watch its workings, ind judge its development, its character, and its strength, in an entirely abstract manner. If he found that mind of his showing small weaknesses, such as anger, envy, jealousy, fear, etc., he would realize its imperfections, and go to work to build it up.

REALLY UNTOLD

Son-"Father, what is 'untold wealth'?"

Father-"Son, that's the property you succeed in hiding from your income tax."

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRAYER

The best Christmas prayer yet recorded is that uttered by the little girl on Christmas night. She said: "Oh, Lord, I certainly thank You for all the nice presents I got, and I hope Your Son Jesus had a happy birthday."

BUT HE HADN'T

Slowly and sadly we laid him down, And we spoke not a word of sorrow, Remembering how often he'd said he would Have his brake-bands fixed-tomorrow.

THERE, THERE, LITTLE DOLLAR, DON'T CRY

There, there, little dollar, dont cry !

You're not worth your name, I know, You pass for your face

But you can't keep the pace

That's set by the high cost of beef, Oh, No ! There, there, little dollar, don't cry !

There, there, little dollar, don't cry, You're doing your best, no doubt,

But they've lessened your gold

'Bout a third, so I'rn told,

And they've made of you just an old fraud, Oh, Gawd! They've made of you just an old fraud.

GOOD ROADS

Hordes of autos now remind us We should build our roads to stay, And departing leave behind us, Roads that $rill not wash away. When our children pay the mortgage, Fathers made to haul their loads, They'll not have to ask the question, "Here's the bonds, but where's the roads?"

A GENTLE REBUKE

The two ladies had been talking almost steadily as the play progressed, and finally the kindly voiced gentleman in the seat just ahead of them turned around. t'Ladies," he said, "won't you kindly postpone your conversation until this act is ended. I'm greatly interested in your conversation and those people on the stage are making so much noise I can't follow you entirely."

THE CHANGE

There was a man in our town Who happened to advance, His left foot very far in front, When taking up his stance; And when he found that made him hook Which wasn't very nice, He put his right foot out in front, And then he got a slice.

WHEN YOU COME'IN

Just grin-when you ssnrg inAnd make it wide-not tight and thinSay "Hello, Bill' and "Howdy, Jach," And slap your friend upon the back. Stick out your mitt and crack a joke, If no one laughs there's no bones broke, And by and by you'll make your club A sort of happy sunshine hub, That radiates gooil cheer and vim Because you grin, when you come in.

Brentwood Lumber Company Suffers T. F. Eckstrom Back Again in His $30,000 Fire Loss Old Game

A fire loss of about $30,000 was sustained by the Brentrvood Lumber Company, Brentwood, May 21.

William Drefs, 18, who has been in a reform school, was noticed loitering around the fire at the yard. Being arrested and questioned he confessed to having set fire to the yard. His first story was that a stranger had offered him $25.00 to burn the lumber yard. He later changed his story and said no one had urged him to set the fire, and confessed that he had set two other fires the previous night, including the Southern Pacific depot.

Authorities suspe,ct that Drefs may have set'many other mysterious fires in Lodi, Stockton, Isleton and Oakland, and are making a very complete investigation.

The loss of the Brentwood Lumber Company was fully insured, but they will be unable to avoid the great loss incidental to their inability to operate in anything like a normal fashion for 6O to 90 davs.

John Philip \Teyerhaeuser, Sr. Paciftc Northwest Lumber Delegation

John Philip Weyerhaeuser, Sr., one of the nation's best known lumbermen, passed away at his home in Ta,coma, May 16, after being stricken with pneumonia a few days before.

Mr. Weyerhaeuser was born November 4, 1858 in Coal Valley, Ill., about ten miles east of Rock Island, where his father, the late Frederi,ck Weyerhaeuser, was condu,cting a retail lumber business. His father, who died in 1914, was the founder of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.

He attended the Rock Island public schools and Jennings Academy at Aurora, Ill., and worked in his father's lumber mills during va,cations. After leaving school he became manager of Rock Island Lumber & Manufacturing Company.

In 1898 he became manager of the Nebagamon Lumber Company at Lake Nebagamon, Wis., and when the timber that supplied that mill was cut he moved to St. Paul, where he lived for a few years. He was elected president of the Weyerhaeuser companies in 1914 at the death of his father. He moved to Ta'coma in 1916.

Mr. Weyerhaeuser continued as president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company until 1928, when he declined reelection, but remained a director. He was also pr.esident of the Clearwater Timber Company, and of Bonner's Ferry Lumber Company, and was a dire,ctor in many other affiliated concerns.

Mr. Weyerhaeuser was twice married. His second wife died in April, 1933. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. F. R. Titcomb, Ta'coma; two sons, Frederick K. Weyerhaeuser, of St. Paul, and John Philip Weyerhaeuser, Jr., of Tacoma; two brothers, Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser, of St. Paul, and Rudolph M. Weyerhaeuser, of Cloquet, Minn.; three sisters, Mrs. William B. Hill, of Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Mrs. J. R. Jewett, of Cambridge, Mass., and Mrs. S. S. Davies, of Rock Island, Ill., and by nine grandchildren.

His son, John Philip Weyerhaeuser, Jr., as executive vice-president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, is active head of that concern. The other son, Frederick K. Weyerhaeuser, of St. Paul, is head of the \Meyerhaeuser Sales Company. His daughter, Mrs. F. R. Titcom.b is the wife of F. R. Titcomb, general manager of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.

Interment took place in the family burial plot at Rock Island, Ill.

1\{r. Weyerhaeuser was active in civic, church and philanthropic affairs. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, a Mason, and a Knight Templar.

Leaves for South America

Washington, May 7-Keen interest was shown by official Washington in the objectives of the Pacific Northwest lumber delegation to South America, and the members of the delegation have been offi,cially received by officers of the Departments of Commer,ce and State. To facilitate the delegation's work, official letters of introdu,ction have been prepared on their behalf by the Department of Commerce and addressed to American Foreign Commerce officers located in South America. The membership of the delegation sponsored by the Douglas Fir Exploitation & Export Company is: Major E. G. Griggs, Tacoma; Mr. L. E. Force, Seattle; and Mr. E. D. Kingsley, Portland, Oregon.

Major E. G. Griggs, who is a veteran foreign traveller and who has previously been a member of lumber trade delegations, expressed optimism in regard to the results of the trip. "We will learn first-hand the requirements of the Argentine market, and many suggestions will presently be made in regard to changes in our manufacturing methods so as to make our lumber more suitable for the Argentine trade," he said. "Our foreign cornpetitors have been in constant touch with their customers abroad and this has played a considerable part in building up a profitable outlet for their products. We can only hope to expand our foreign markets by taking the interests of our foreign customers into account."

Mr. Force has been active in presenting to Washington authorities pertinent facts in regard to the lumber export business on the Pacific Coast. "The Pacific Coast lumber industry is perhaps more dependent upon foreign trade than that same industry in any other part of the country," he said. "We are willing to spend money and efiorts on the extension of our foreign trade, and we are desirous of having the cooperation of the Washington authorities.,' Mr. Kingsley, in common with the other delegates, has interested himself in the possibility of developing new markets for northwest lumber. "South America," he says, does not possess the quaiity softwoods which we have in the northwest. Our woods are not very well knorvn, and it will be necessary to engage in trade promotional activities, not only in Argentina, but in other of the principal consuming markets. Just how this work can best be carried out will be determined on this trip."

The delegation is now leaving Washington and is sailing this week for Argentina.

Government Drops Case and Restores Commission Lumber Salesmen's Annual Blue Eagle To San Francisco Firm

The government backed down on its charges of 'code violations by the Smith Lumber Company, San Francisco, and agreed the firm could use the Blue Eagle, in a Federal Court action in San Fran,cis,co, May 15. The company in turn dropped iis suit for an injunction to restrain the code authority.

The suit was frled by the Smith Lumber Company against the aode authority January 22. They ,charged that the minimum price fixed was so high and so much in excess of actual costs that in some cases it resulted in profits of 50 to 150 per cent. They also contended that the excessive profits were discottraging the demand for lumber, injuring business and stifling competition.

The company told the'code authority it had been advised the bid procedure was illegal and that the authority had no right to set up a minimum price for products sold within the State. The ,company backed its stand with actions and from then on refused to abide by the fixed pri,ce.

After several purported hearings the regional compliance board recommended to Donald Renshaw, regional director, that the Smith Lumber Company be deprived of the Blue Eagle. The company carried the case to Federal Court, obtained a restraining order, then a temporary injunction. T'he controversy ended with the Government changing its stand, and dropping its case against the company as well as all attempts to enforce the minimum price.

The anniral meeting of the National Association of Commission Lumber Salesmen will be held in Detroit, Mich., June 27,28 and 29. 'the Statler Hotel rvill be headquarters.

M. P. Klumph, the Association's managing director, states that the annual meeting rn'ill also be a sales ,congress. He reports that there will be representatives of the lumber manufacturing associations and officials of many lumber manufacturing companies in attendance to work with their organization to promote the sale of lumber for its pr'oper use and to further an increase in the use of lumber.
