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.

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.
