$!-nilr' the exclusive cutting of Pine. And it IS one of the most remarkable, one of the most tremendous sawmill plants on earth, measured from a standpoint of variety, quantity, and quality of rproducts. At many very large sawmills, when the lumber leaves the sawmill proper, the story is about told. But at Westwood it has hardly started. The important parts of the operation are from the sawmill out. Yes, friends, at \Mestwood the Walkers operate an industrial institution which for originality, progressiveness, and mammoth size, could easily furnish a story that would filI this book from cover to cover, and still leave much untold.

For at Westwood, just as a few samples, can be found:

The greatest Pine forest behind any single mill.

One of the biggest Pine sawmills on earth.

One of the biggest planing mills on earth.

The mightiest set of lumber dry kilns ever constructed.

The biggest Pine panel plant.

The biggest Incense Cedar blind factory.

The biggest storage of Pine logs ever accumulated.

And everything else in proportion. As the old Mexican in Tia ]uana told Peter B. Kyne when the half-pound Mexican pooch he had sold him grew to weigh fifty pounds -"Everything grow so beeg in California." Everything really grows big at Westwood. Even Paul Bunyan, the legendary hero of giant prowess who has been kept alive through the literature of The Red River Lumber Company, would have pointed with pride to the size of the Westwood plant. Just a sketch of that plant must suffrce for this time.

For many years the Westwood plant kiln dried part of their product, and air-dried the remainder. As their factory output increased, and the demands of the trade changed, the necessity'for more perfectly and more rapidly dried lumber developed by leaps and bounds. So just a couple of years ago they made a deal with the Moore Dry Kiln Company, the result of which was that that concern built and installed and equipped at Westwood a battery of dry kilns as big as Paul Bunyan himself. Thirty-five kilns they built, each with two tunnels, a total of seventy dry kilning units, all of the latest cross-circulation type, in which the lumber is piled solid on the kiln cars. These kilns hold about 3,500,00O feet of lumber at one time, and turn out 600,000 feet daily of the grandest looking lumber that ever came from Westwood, including Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, and fncense Cedar.

Naturally they then had to create more shed room, because this set of kilns handled the entire output of the mill, and they could no longer pile it on the yard. So they have just completed another mammoth dry shed to supplement two monsters they had before. The new shed is 8O by 50O feet, and is served by a great traveling crane that handles all the lumber both in and out of the new shed. Only rough dry lumber is stored in this department.

In the sawmill itself there are four band head-rigs, and two horizontal re-saws, and an average cut of lumber is 300,000 feet every eight hours. As the lumber leaves the sawmill on the green chain, it is removed by hand, sorted for grade and thickness, and piled in units of about 3,000 feet. A traveling 95-foot Hammerhead Crane picks up these units and deposits them on conveyors for the automatic stackers, and these stackers build up loads of 7,000 to 8,0O0 feet on kiln cars. When the kiln cars are loaded an electric transfer moves them to the kilns. When they emerge from the kilns with their burden of dry lumber, they stand for 24 hours under a cooling shed, before being unloaded on an 800-foot transfer chain by means of automatic down-sorters. From these chains the lumber is taken off by hand after being graded, and is segregated as to grade and size.

Now the lumber is dried and properly separated and graded, and it here begins its trip to market. Some of it goes to the rough dry sheds for storage. Some of it goes direct to the loading docks to be shipped rough to many millwork factories throughout the land. Some of it goes to the planer, to be dressed and pre,pared for ordinary lumber and building uses. Two hundred thousand feet a day goes to the factory or remanufacturing plant, where it is made into a thousand different things for various trades. Some of it goes to the box factory. Some goes into door and sash stock. The planing mill is big enough to handle any amount of lumber the mill sends in. There just isn't anything that can be made out of Sugar Pine and Ponderosa Pine that they are not prepared to make and ship at Westwood. They do a huge national moulding business, specializing in straight or mixed cars of Ponderosa Pine mouldings, and carrying great stocks of same. The venetian blind department is one of the newest and fastest growing. Here they make Incense Cedar Trom their own mountain forests, into venetian blinds, which requires the highest art and perfection in seasoning and mill-r'r'orking. This department is growing very rapidly, and they have booked many very large orders in the past year. Their sash and door departments, their box departments, and others, are all mammoth in size, in keeping with the rest of the plant. They ship 6 to B carloads of venetian blinds a month.

One of their most successful departments through the years is their Pine panel department. The finest selected Ponderosa logs are turned into beautiful figured Pine veneer, which is then built into panels of alt sorts and sizes. They have always enjoyed a very steady and satisfactory demand that takes care of their entire panel product, this being really the only large Pine panel plant in existence.

The Westwood mill supplies the retail lumber trade with almost everything that can be made out of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine. Their forest produces a fine volume of Sugar Pine along with their Ponderosa, this being a "true" White Pine, and the monarch of all American

Hi-Jinks at Hawaiian Paradise Cafe )une 16

The Lumbermen's Hi-Jinks will be held Friday evening, June 16, at the Hawaiian Paradise Cate,7566 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, instead of Omar's Dome Cafe as previously announced.

The committee announces a fine entertainment rvhich will include the regular Hawaiian Paradise orchestra and floor show together with several specially arranged girl numbers. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p. m.

The Hi-Jinks is sponsored by Lumbermen's Post No. 4O3 of the American Legion, and the committee in charge includes Chairman Milt Taenzer, Leo Hubbard. Fred Morehouse, Russell Gheen, Ed Biggs and Bill Chantland.

White Pines today, being very much larger than the Northern White Pine and therefore capable of producing clear, soft lumber in sizes unknown to other regions. Red River Sugar Pine products are well known to both the lumber and factory buyers all over the country.

What an amazing institution this Westwood plant is ! A mighty forest of the finest trees that grow. A milling institution that contains everything in the line of equipment that human ingenuity could devise or suggest for producing better wood products. An organization that has come down through the years, trained in the making of Westwood Pine into Westwood lumber. Is it any wonder that the name and fame of Paul Bunyan Pine grows steadily ?

We mentioned the great log reserve. They have hard winters in the mountains around Westwood. that forbid logging. But the Westwood mill runs continuously the year around, so in the fall they log and bring to Westwood and pile up in huge rollways, forty to sixty million feet of wonderful big logs to supply the plant through the closed months. And these mountains of logs, at that time of the year, present a most imposing spectacle.

The Westwood owners are entirely Walkers. Archie D. Walker is president, Willis J. Walker is chairman of the Board, Fletcher L. Walker is vice-president and treasurer, Clinton L. Walker is vice-president, T. S. Walker is vice-president and manager of lumber department, K. R. Walker is secretary, Justin V. Smith (a grandson of the late T. B. \A/alker, founder of the company) is assistant secretary.

R. F. Pray is assistant manag'er. Leo G. Opsahl is sales manager.

Australian Appetite

The Frenchman likes his glass of wine, The German likes his lager beer, The Briton likes his glass of Ale, Because it brings good cheer.

The Scotchman likes his whiskey, neat, The Paddy likes his Pot, But the Aussie has no national drink, So he drinks the whole damn lot.

A CODE !\IIRE

The Scotchman had a very urgent telegram to send, but couldn't bring himself to telling all that had to be told in plain words. So he worked on a code, and this is what he finally wired, just ten words: t'Bruises hurt erased afford erected analysis hurt too infectious dead."

The Scotchman on the other end of the line got the wire, and he soon worhed it out to read as follows:

"Bruce is hurt. He raced a F'ord. He wrecked it and Alice is hurt, too. fn fact she's dead" (19 words).

TO WIN SUCCESS:

Be Brief-politely.

Be aggressive-tactfully.

Be emphatic-gleasantly.

Be positive---diplomatically.

Be right-graciously.

SAIL ON

We plan a hundred lives, And live but one.

How shall our course be mapped When night has come?

My ship has journeyed on, Through stiffest breeze, Some day I hope to sail, In calmer seas.

The Difference

The 3-year-old boy had taken his mother's powder puff and was fixing his face as he had seen her do, when his S-year-old sister grabbed it from him.

"You mustn't do that," she said. "Only ladies use powder. Gentlemen wash themselves."

It Pays

Ask yourself this question: "Am I courteous and friendly in all my business contacts?" If you can answer yes without any qualifications, then you have a characteristic that will make your life richer, hot only in friends and happiness, but also in money.

Of course, almost everyone is smart enough to be nice to customers and business associates on whom he depends for a living. But how do you treat others? For instance, the salesman who called on you when you were busy-the man who ,wanted some free ftrformation that required a little effort to dig up-the young fellow who applied for a job when you had nothing to offer him. Did they leave feeling that you were a fine fellow, that they would put in a good word for you and your company if the occasion arose?

In this day of intense competition, with differences between products and prices frequently small, it is often the little things that bring in the business. All things being equal, the order usually goes to the man people like to do business with; the man who is courteous and friendly at all times.-Bruce.

Trust

ttl'd trust my husband anywhere," she said; "My faith in him is full, is satisfied; t'I know that he is strong, sublime," she said; "f know that all his love is mine for e'er; I'd trust my husband anywhere," she said"Ifnless a woman happened to be there."

I know that all his thoughts are fair," she said, "I know he'd put temptations all aside."

Even So

He who knows and understands his customers, will have trade.

He who knows and understands his competitors, will have safety.

He who knows and und,erstands his business. will have riches, but-

He who knows and understands his workmen, will have peace.

"Shucks, Officer," said the wader. "It's all right. I ain't using no soap.t'
