THE CALIFOR}IIA LUMBERMERCHANT JaclcDiorne,Widrer

A Trained Observer Reports on the Fir Situation in the Northwest

A rvell qualified observer of the lumber industry in the Pacific North'ivest sends the following very interesting observations on the Douglas Fir situation:

The shortage of labor in both camps and mills has never been more acute than at the present moment. Almost without exception small and middle sized sawmill operations. are far short of normal crews, and it is an everyday thing to visit a mill and find o\rrners, managers, superintendents, and even the office help, doing actual labor around the plant to keep things going. They rvill be found running the edger, the trimmer, rn'orking in the planer, or even loading cars f,or shipment. For this reason the simplest type oi orders calling for a minimum of handling appeal to the mills of this type and in this situation.

There is considerable confusion concerning the WPB requirement to produce 65 per cent boards and dimension. Many of the mills are appealing from this requirement claiming they cannot possibly make the requirement. 'Ihe price of boards does not ir-rfluence them. Nfany of the circular type mills claim that trying to meet this requirement throu,s their rvhole operation out of balance, sl,ows down production, and increases handling costs to a prohibitive degree.

Dependable shippers rvho are equipped with facilities for nranufacturing the 65 per cent boards and dimension, find

that after making that percentage, together with their clears and railroad materials, they have practically no ability left to do special cutting of any .other sort, and they have to turn down military orders for anything else.

This observer then adds: "In my opinion the Pacific r,var cannot possibly require more than twenty per cent of the output of the Western mills for a sustained period, but until the heavy back-log of unplaced orders and the heavy files of unshipped.orders now on the books of the sawrnills is absorbed, there seems no immediate possibility of any boards, dimension, or small timbers becoming available for orclinary yard buyers except those occasional cars that have been leaking through all the time. If lumber, now on the books for shipment to the Atlantic seab,oard, is cancelled or diverted to the West Coast, a very quick change could take place in the situation. In the next 9O days much is going to depend on the ability of the Transport Service to provide ships to move the lumber west, and storage facilities at destinations. It would n,ot be surprising if there soon develops great congestion at Pacific Coast Ports of embarkation, which may result in embargoes. It would not be surprising if the 65 per cer-rt boards and dimension requirements will be terminated very soon. There should be an improvement in the labor supply by the end of June, and possibly more lumber by that time for the regular user."

Advertiring Ralcr on llpplicction

In less than one year, over 1Q0,000 future home-builders and remodellers have responded to S7'eldwood's extensive advertising campaign on hardwood paneled rooms.

Every ad in this series refers to tbe lamber d,ealer as the source of supply for ITeldwood. Every piece of printed matter sent to these thousands of interested prospects . .

epry letter . repeats the same message: "\Teldwood Plywood is distributed by lumber d.ealers."

Naturally, with building at a standstill and plywood being used a!most entirely for war purposes, you can't cash in on this promising situation now. But eventually this pent-up demand is going to mean

substantial new volume and substantial new profits to aggressive lumber dealers.

The Darkness That Settled Over The Philippine Lumber Industry ls Lifting

The cloud of darkness that settled down over the great hardwood lumber industry in the Philippine Islands when the Japs struck more than three years ago, is beginning to lift. It is still impossible to make any detailed report of just what happened to the various mills, or list the condition of the majority of them at the present time. But we do possess some general and a little specific knowledge of what remains of that great industry that gave Philippine hardwoods in general and Philippine Mahogany in particular to the world before the war.

A letter written by J. Raymond Peck, president of the largest milling concern operating in the fslands, The Insular Lumber Company, gives the following information concerning their very modern and famous plant located on the Island of Negros. The main sawmill building, the power plant, machine shop, and storage sheds, were all destroyed by fire. Some reports say that place was bombed. Mr. Peck states that some machinery had survived the fire, including an S-foot band mill, a resaw, an edger and blower, and a turbine, and that when the Japs fled they left this equipment behind them, all well crated for shipment, evidently to Japan. With the exception of this saving, that great milling plant is gone, undoubtedly including the biggest battery of Moore Dry Kilns ever built outside the United States.

Harvey Pope, who was general rnanager for Insular in the Islands, was taken by the Japs and interned in the concentration camp at Los Banos. He is now in San Francisco, recuperating from that severe experiehce.

Another very large manufacturer of Philippine hardwoods is the Findlay, Millar Timber Company, of London, represented in the United States by Walter G. Scrim, of Los Angeles. Mr. Scrim makes the following' news report of that concern. They operated two mills in the Islands, a very large plant nearly as big as the Insular mi11, located at Kolambugan, on the islarid of Mindanao; and a smaller mill and remanufacturing plant right on the edge of the City of Manila. At Kolambugan their main mill had a daily capacity of 12O,000 feet of lumber, was backed up by a long line of railroad running into the

timber. They also had a loading dock 220 feet long extending into deep water. When the Japs stru,ck the company officials applied the scorched earth policy to their own mill. They burned the mill to the ground, leaving practically no salvage. They burned 35 million feet of lumber. It is reported that this great lumber supply burned for weeks. They also burned the ocean loading dock, and several miles of their railroad from the mill out, so that the Japs could not use it. Their mill in Manila was not destroyed and is being operated at present by the American Army.

A. W. Robertson, general manager for the Findlay, Millar Timber Company, at l\fanila, was placed in the Santo Tomas concentration camp, where he remained until released by the American army. He is still in Manila, according to report, while Assistant General Manager Percy, who was also interned, recently passed through Los Angeles on his way back to England to report to the main office. He is young man, and survived the ordeal very well.

A. W. Austin, who was local manager of the mill at Kolambugan, took to the jungles when the Japs came, and with his wife remained safely hidden in the hills and jungles throughout the Jap occupation. He has now returned to the mill. Another of the men of this company was Colonel Carl Hedges, who was their superintendent of logging. He took to the jungles, joined the guerrilas, and became so famous for his activities that he was mentioned prominently in the recent Saturday Evening Post story, "The Philippines Never $urrendered,"

These are the only mills and lumber manufacturers from whom there are definite enough reports to permit printing with authority. The general report is that most of the smaller Philippine mills were not destroyed. In fact, there are no reports of any that were. As a rule, according to the information norv drifting back, the Japs cut up what logs they found, took all the lumber, and then stripped the plants of anything of value. It is reported on good authority that there are many small mills over there that could operate if they could get the things that were stripped

I read the above to one of the dearest and'finest elderly Christian ladies I ever knew. She read it over and over again. And she said: "That's the first description of heaven I ever read that thoroughly pleases me." It does me. I think most folks will feel the same way about it. Whoever wrote the little verse above translated my own thoughts into words far better than I have ever been able to do.

{<t*

fn thes€ days when heartache and anguish have come to the legions of Americans whose boys wi:nt "over there" and who will not return again to bring light and happiness to their hearts, the thoughts in this little verse should bring some semblance of peace. "Wi[ we meet again" and how, and where?" has been the anguished cry of the human heart ever since the day when the first mother knelt at the side of her first-born and raised her heart in prayer to some unseen but hoped-for powxer of which she knew nothing.

"Quo Vadis"-whither do we go-is the normal question of the thinking human who considers the fundamentals of this thing we call living. War, which sends our strongest and best to early and untimely death, makes faith in the future a bulwark without which many would be utterly lost. Wouldn't the peaceful, homelike heaven described in the verse above, be a swell substitute for the utter confusion concerning the,"golden shore" that fills the average mind?

*{<*

White gleam the gulls across the darkling tide, On the green hills the red flowers seem to burn, Alas ! I see another spring has died; When rvill it come-the day of yo,ur return?

The day of return has already arrived for many thousands of our American heroes in uniform: and countless hearts have been made glad. They will continue to come from now on. and each man who doffs his irniform and dons his civvies will add his bit to the return of that normal wav of life for which all men yearn.

I saw a letter to a friend of mine from his son who has seen and is still seeing much action in the deep Pacific. He said that their whole outfit has made up a money pool to be won by the company that comes closest to guessing the date of the final end of the war. And he said that his entire company has put up their cash and agreed on the opinion that the war with Japan will be over THE MIDDLE OF THIS COMING JULY. You may disagree, but there is an opinion from a lot of fighters who have been looking the Jap in the eye, and who feel that the little yellow devils won't be able to take what is being dished out to them very long.

The oration that Churchill delivered to the British people and to the world on Sunday, May 13th, in my opinion eclipsed all his previous efforts. Not in strength and in power; for there was lacking some of the vigor and punch of some of his earlier efforts since the war started. But it seemed to me that never before had he translated his admirable thoughts into such remarkable, such original words and phrases. He expresses himself entirely differently from any other speaker, living or dead. Truly he is a master of the fine art of talking English. The man outshines all previous British orators as the rays of the noonday sun outshine the paleness of the harvest moon. He writes his own speeches. What living man could even attempt to match such phraseology? ft is something to"know that we. lived with, and saw, and listened to the heroic words of one of the greatest men that ever figured in the tide of times. That history will place him at the highest pinnacle of fame among British statesmen of all time, I have not the slightest doubt. He lacks the weakening characteristics of personal vanity, egotism, arrogance, and selfish ambitions' what a man t

The highlights of the speech seemed to be when he said that the world organization for peace on which we are now working must "not become a shield for the strong, and a mockery for the weak." And when he paid his respects (?) to Mr. De Valera, of Ireland, the very air seemed to crackle when he said: "ff it had not been for the friendship of Northern Ireland, we should have been forced to come to close quarters with Mr. De Valera, or perish from the earth. ffowever, with a restraint and poise to which, f say, history will find few parallels, His majesty's government never laid a violent hand on them, though at times it would have been quite easy and quite natural, but left the De Valera government to frolic with the Germans and later with the Japanese to their hearts content."

(Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 8)

I'm not .much of a prophet, but something tells me that when more serious matters have been disposed of in the affairs of Britain, if Mr. Churchill retains the reins of government, the Irish gentleman who "frolicked with the Germans and the Japg" during Britain's darkest moments, may have cause to regret it. Why not? Yes, I have an idea that Churchill will "come to close quarters" some of these days with the bird who sent his condolences to Germany on the death of Hitler. And the "quarters" will probably be uncomfortably "close." I'll be disappointed in Churchill for the first time if he lets De Valera get away with it.

'***

There was something deeply tragic about the posthumous award of the Congressional Medal of Flonor to the late Billy Mitchell. IIe was the most infamously mistreated man in all American history. As a prophet he had Isaiah backed off the board. He predicted what happened at Pearl Harbor and also in the Philippines with such exactness that it makes you superstitious to read it. He predicted the place that the air corps would play in the next war as definitely as though the events had already taken place. The only criticism that could be made of his predictions and prophecies would be that he leaned.toward the conservative; the coming events that he pres4ged so punchfully have been even greater than he anticipated. He waS court-martialed and disgraced. The Bible says that "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Billy Mitchell knew some marvelous truths about aviation and its place in the world in general, and in war in particular. And he was scourged by a flock of short-sighted brass hats for uttering those truths. Truly "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." But the shadow of Billy Mitchell will loom large in American history. Certainly it could be said of him what Sir Walter Scott wrote, that "coming events cast their shadows before."

It was twenty ,."r" "*Jrnl. Jily Mitchell was crucified for truth telling. The blindness of his judges and critics extended right up to Pearl Harbor. In fact, from all I can gather, everybody in the Pacific knew what was going to happen to Pearl Harbor and the Philippines except those that should have known. Ninety days before Pearl Harbor I saw a letter from an American soldier in Hawaii asking his folks to have some important changes made in his life insurance policies, and he urged in the letter that they hurry up and get it attended to "before the Japs strike." The little yellow men were marching, and they found exactly what Billy Mitchell, away back in 1925, said they would-Americaasleep.

Let it be said in our favor that many good men loved and trusted and believed in Billy Mitchell, and he was not left without strong arms about him when they court-martialed

him. Neither did they break his spirit. He mostly felt sorry for the persecutors. A smart man remarked at the close of the Mitchell trial in Washington that we had simply followed through with our traditional policy whenever the dignity of the brass hats is at stake; always make a liar out of the accused. Who's lying now? ***

According to the newspapers of recent date, the.longthreatened "cradle-to-grave social security program," is soon to be launched. We have that on the authority of that German-born gent from New York State, Senator Wagner. He says President Truman is all for it. I'll believe it when Truman says so. Truman must know that launching any such program would shock the country at a time when it has been shocked long and hard enough. That Wagner program, with socialized medicine and all its kindred evils, is just a severe case of confluent Communism masquerading as measles. How many times in the last few years you have heard the cautious 1ss1a1ft-"Don't be so hurried about calling things communism." The caution we really need in this country today is rather against toc much complacency when communism, wearing some other label, comes marching in. That insidious germ is a darkening cloud over Europe and Asia right now. In the name of every man who wears our national uniform today, let us swear to keep it out of here.

Most of the social ,."LrrJ, J"to *. hear so much, is phoney. Real security means a situation where every good man willing and able to work, has a good job in a real business; and can get another one somewhere else if he wants it. For God's sake, when this war ends, let us see to it that Government backs out of private affairs just as quickly as possible, and stays out. Wagner and his like would have Government take charge of everything. American means, as a red-headed guy named Jefferson once said, a government whose sole mission is to "maintain order and security, compel respect for person and property, and repress fraud and violence." A Frenchman named Bastiat, one of the. earliest fighters against Communism and one much quoted these days by economists, was asked what Communism meant, and he said that dangerous Communism begins when the government takes from one man without his consent that which he has earned, and gives it to another who. has done nothing to earn it.

A man who had tri.d iJ""lr, io *., some boards to build shelves in a closet at home and had been told how scarce and precious lumber had become, walked into a bank where some remodeling was starting, and saw a pile of lumber heaped in a corner ready for the carpenters. He stared at it a moment, and then said to a teller: "Good heavens ! Who is making that big deposit?"

That Vest Pocket Story

This story is comparatively modern, yet has traveled so fast it is a veteran already. I have h,eard it told at least twenty different ways, but this seems the most popular.

A little, insignificant, harmless looking man walked into a saloon and up to the bar. Back of the bar was a big, powerful bartender, and on the end of the bar slept a huge tomcat-

The little man gave a strange order. He wanted a tall glass of beer, and a drink of whiskey. Curious as io who the two drinks were for, the bartend,er served them. The little man drank the beer, then poured the drink of whiskey into his vest pocket. Again he ordered the same. Again he drank the beer, and poured the liquor into the same

vest pocket. He did this six times in a row, and the bartender could stand it no longer. He said:

"You must be nuts ! What's the idea of pouring all that good whiskey into your vest pocket?"

The little man flamed with rage. Leaning over the edge of the bar he blurted savagely: "That's none of your business, you great big so-and-so, and if you say another word about it I'll climb over that bar and beat the living hell out of you."

And. right then a little red-eyed mouse popped out of the pocket that got the whiskey and screeched:

"And that goes for that damn tomcat, too !"

away, such as belting, oils, saws, and other strictly mill and logging,supplies that the Japs grabbed.

It is reported that a number of mills of fair size are trying to get the necessary supplies to start their mills, but so far have not succeeded. All the mills that are operating are being operated by the Army, and all the lumber that is being made is being used by the Army for rehabilitation. Great quantities of lumber is needed for rebuilding the Philippine cities and industries, and if all the mills could get to runnng today it is very unlikely that a foot could be made throughout this year that would not be needed and taken locally. So it seems that no matter how fast they may be able to get the mills of the Philippines back into shape, there will be no Philippine lumber for the rest of the world this year. As a matter of fact, no shipping from the Philippines is allowed up to this time, except Army and Navy shipping. It is strictly a military stuation so far, and will remain so for an indefinite period.

It was recently announced that the Chase National Bank of New York.has just opened a branch in Manila and so is making possible financial exchange between the United States and the Islands. Slorn'ly but surely order is coming out of chaos, and the foundations for the resumption of business over there are being laid.

There are still hundreds of billions of feet of fine hardwood timber standing in the Philippines, and the day will come again when the magnificent rn'oods from these Islands will again be placed on our markets.

' Home Line Like Cigarette Line

What might well be a preview of what will happen in this country when restrictions on home building are released, took place in Los Angeles. On Friday, May 18th, FFLA in that city announced that it rvould release priorities for the private construction of one thousand nerv homes on Monday morning, the 21st. Immediately a line formed al the door of the FHA offices in downtown Los Angeles, and that line remained there, the rule of first come first served being announced, each man or woman holding the'place originally taken, until the offices opened Monday morning, three days later. It was just like a cigarette line, excepl that when it really settled down to its long vigil of three nights and two days, their families and friends ganged in to help them. Chairs, wraps, food and drink, were brought. Members of families took turns throughout the long wait. one lrolding the place 'ivhile the others rested. Nothing like it has ever been seen before in the history of American home building. There were even paid "sitters" on the job. charging a certain fee per hour to hold a position while its owner rested. Something over one hundred remained in the original line Monday morning. Only about twenty of the original line gave up during the long rr'ait.

A Hint That Worked

The lumber yard owner was sitting with his feet on his desk, reading the paper. The yard nurnager was working at a desk near by.

The owner looked up from the paper, and said: where this corporation chairman gets a salary of million dollars a year. What do you think of that?"

He Wcnted Fcrcts

Four men made up a bridge game on a train. The nicelooking fellow across the aisle had stated that he knew the game and would be glad to make up a foursome. It soon "I see developed that he knew not the first rudiments of the half a game, and, since they had set a small stake on the results, his partner soon waxed hot.

The yard manager looked sort of weary. "Boss," he said, "wherever a salary gets over forty dollars a week, I don't know what to say about it."

The next week he got a raise.

Great Men

Great men suffer hours of depression through introspection and self-doubt. That is why they are great. That is why you will find modesty and humility the characteristics of all great msn.-Ehuge Barton.

Mowers and Sowers

We must not hope to be mowers, And gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have first been sowers, And watered the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it, A harvest of thorns or of fowers.

-Goethe.

Those Who Live

Those vrho live, are those who strive, Those whose soul is filled with some great purpose, and accomplish it;

Those who climb the summit of high distance; Those who march thoughtfully in love with a sublime ideal; Having before their eyes, without craning night and day, Either some holy task or some great love.-Victor Hugo.

"Tell me," said the partner of the stupid player, "when did you first take up bridge? Be specific! Don't say it was this afternoon! What time this afternoon?"

Ataxic

"Yes sir, he's in a very bad way, poor man. He was working on a railroad line the other day, and a train came along and cut both legs off. It's what they call locomotive attacks you, I believe."

Keeping Secrets

Women can keep secrets just as well as men can, they say. The only trouble is, it takes so many of them to do it.

Stcying Sober

Three dignified looking gentlemen entered a roadside bar and looking around cautiously, made their way up to the shiny bar, where the bartender was waiting to take their orders.

The first said: "I'll take a coke."

The second said: "Make mine an orangeade."

The third took a look at the disgust on the bartender's face and said:

"Make mine a glass of water. I've got to drive."

Another Month

"You're May West, aren't you?"

"No, I'm June West, thirty days hotter than May."

San Diego Lumber Company Changes Ownership

The San Diego Lumber Company has been purchased by a group of San Diego lumbermen, including Al Frost, owner of the Frost Hardwood Lumber Company of San Diego, and who was vice president ancl general manager of the San Diego Lumber Company from l92O to 1930, Harry McGahey, vice president and general manager from 1930 to tl-re present time, Frank Succetti, general superintendent and rvith the company 38 1'ears, Orville Wilson, ofifrce and credit manager, 23 years r,vith the concern, and Olin Easterly, rvl-ro has been rvith the company for 13 years as sales manager. They have formed a copartnership and bought all the outstanding stock.

A large part of the stock rvas owned by the heirs of the late J. M. Carson and W. W. Carson of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, San Francisco, and Henry Hink, Sydney deGuerre and E. Marion Warren who are all still active in the l)olbeer & Carson Lumber Company.

The San Diego l,umber Company has been operating in the s:Lme lcication since 1.369, it being the oldest yard in San Diego and one of the oldest in the state. The yarcl site consists

tlvo blocks in the center of San Diego's industrial area between F'ifth ancl Eighth Avenues and "L"

Street and the Railroad tracks. They have a modern plant throughout, in the way of sheds ancl equipment-quite a contrast from the early days when the sailing vessels used to throw their cargo overboard in the bay, to float ashore where the Indians would carry it from the beach to the yard. Later, the company built a dock typical for unloading windjammers. This dock extended one-half mile into the bay with an "L" on the end to accommodate several sailing vessels at one time. This dock was used until 1925 u,hen the city built the present bulkhead.

During World War I, as well as the present war, the company has put practically 100 per cent of their lumber into the u'ar effort. They do not anticipate any changes in the personnel or the operations of the company.

In the bundle or in loose courses aheadbfthe floor layer, they look straight.,In laying; they're as straight as they look. That's because Bradley's accurate straigbt-Iine sawing produces srrips which come throu-gh the do-oring machines with tongue and grootte exactly parallelJrom end to end.

Straigbt-line is the reason for floor layers' qrontaneous entbusiasm fot Bradley Pre-Finished; fretdom from crook and nailed-in tension is the reason for its permanent smoothness; mechanical application of the penetrating lnish at the factory is thb reason
