L. A. Hoo Hoo Hear About PhiliPPine Islands
W. G. Scrim, United States representative for the Kolambugan Lumber & Development Complny' Nlanrla, was chairman at the June 18th meeting of the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club.
Brother Scrim acted for years as Vicegerent Snark for the Philippine Island District, is a Cat of _long standing, and he piovided a very entertaining hour for-the boys-in telling them some of his experiences in the Islands. He gave io-e figures that surprised a number of the members, Jtating that in the Philippine group there were over seven thousind separate islands, containing 64,800 miles of forest area. The population of the islands is in excess of twelve million, and he stated that of the 25,000 population in Manila, but 5,000 of them were whites, of various nationalities.
The islands afe 6,000 miles from San Francisco, about a twenty-six day journey, via Yokahama.
Thire are over three hundred species of commercial timber growing in the Philippines, divided into four groups. The logging and sawing operations are for the.most part as modein as the methods used in the States, with the exception of the hauling of the logs, which is done with the aid of the native laborers, working at fifty cents per day, and using primitive methods.
In 1903, the cut in the entire territory was 37 million feet, and this grew yearly until in 1924 the total was 147 million. for.the first- six months. The chairman also told many interesting things about the habits of the natives, explaining about the different tribes.

The Fence Riders
The world loves a red-blooded man who stands up and makes a fight for his friends and his convictions' ii tr" wins h"e is a generous victor; if he loses he comes up smiling.
Save us from the whispering crowd of monkeyaooates who never feel the thrill of battle, never win and never lose because forever astride the top rail'
With infinite care they are ever on a balance, ever ultra-conservative, ever all things to all men.
Thev do not set out into the fray and play the r.m. iik. thoroulhbreds.
- They do not kn-ow the meaning of sacrifice, and are not evln acquainted with unselfishness.
Self-centeied they wig-waggle whenever Simon s-ays "Thumbs up," and'keep theli sails forever spread to catch the breeze of self-interest.
What a lot of real sPort theY miss.
