An improvement in service to California buyers of pressurb treated lumber, poles, piling and other treated forest products is announced to the trade, available after July 1, with the reappointment of J. H. Baxter & Co., one of the oldest lumber, pole and piling firms on the Pacific Coast, as sales agent in the State of California for West Coast Wood Preserving Co., of Seattle, Wash.
West Coast Wood Preserving Co. operates at Eagle Harbor and West Seattle, Wash., two of the largest pressure treating plants west of the Mississippi river. With the capacity of these plants available for direct Northern shipment of pressure treated material to trade throughout California, together with the facilities for quick shipment from the pressure treating plant of the J. H. Baxter & Co. at Long Beach, Calif., and from stocks maintained at both Long Beach and Alameda, Calif., it is announced that a service more complete than has ever been offered before will be available to the trade.
The plants of the West Coast Wood Preserving Co. are fully equipped to treat with creosote, zinc chloride or ZI|./,A. J. H. Baxter & Co. also operates the "SS A. M. Baxter" and "SS llorace X. Baxter" in the coastwise lumber trade and will employ these carriers in the expanded service.
Dan L. Lindsley, engineer and sales promotion representative for the West Coast Wood Preserving Co. will make his headquarters at the Los Angeles office of J. H. Baxter & Co.
Frank O'Connor, Donovan Lumber Co., San Fran,cisco, was a visitor at the company's Los Angeles offi,ce the middle. of last month.
Believed to be the first lumber product merchandised in cellophane, "Buffco-Trim" Rosettes, manufactured by Buffelen Lumber & Mfg. Company, Tacoma, are packed in cartons and wrapped in moisture-proof, heat-sealed cellophane.
!. Z."Joe" Todd of the Western Door & Sash Company, Oakland, distributors in Northern California for Buffelen products, says this is a sound merchandising idea, for the reason that "Buffco-Trim" Rosettes must reach the job dry, just as they leave the factory, in order that there will be no shrunken joints or curled parts on the paneled walls or ceiling.
"The 'Buffco-Trim'. Rosettes are packed in cartons of convenient quantities so they may be sold without breaking open cartons in the jobber's warehouse or dealer's yard," Mr. Todd says.
"Buffco-Trim" mouldings are wrapped in heavy kraft paper, twenty pieces to a bundle, which also means that full bundles reach the job with the contents as bright and clean as when they leave the factory. All parts are made of edge grain stock, machined to templates to insure perfect fits.
"Buffco-Trim" makes it possible for any handy man making only square cuts to do a finish job of paneling that might well be the envy of the most experienced craftsman."
F. L. Brown, of the Chicago offices of the Hammond Lumber Company, recently spent two weeks at the company's sawmill at Samoa, Calif., and conferred with executives at the head office in San Francisco.
Mr. Brown, who was accompaned by his wife, traveled to San Francisco by way of the Pacific Northwest.

Vhile a number of mills have reopened the situation in the Northwest lumber strike, now in its eighth week, is still serious. No genetal acceptance of setdement plans aPPears in immediate procpect.
Under the protection of 600 men of the \ffashington Na' tional Guard seven lumber, door and plywood mills were in operation in Tacoma Tuesday, June 25, employing between 60O "nd 7oo men as against a normal payroll of 3r00O. These mills reopened June 21, but threatened to close unless furthet prote.tion was given to the men. The National Guard was called out June 23.
Tacoma longshoremen have refused to handle lumber as long as troops are in the city.
Guardsmen used tear gas bombs to disperse crowds of strikers and sympathizers on several occasions on June 24 and 25. Arrests totaled 25 in the two days.
The Tacoma Labor Council sent a telegram to President Roosevelt June 24, udng him to put Federal trooPs into the Tacoma area, or to appoint a Federal arbitration board and to reguest Governor C. D. Martin to withdraw state troolts.
Some attacks on non-union workers have been rcported.
Operators of seven Portland mills declared their intention to reopln lune 26, but only abott 125 men tePorted at five of the- plants for work. These were Put t9 wor! in the yards. NonL of the plants started sawing. Old employes have been invited to return to work under an employerst four.point olfer of 50 cents an hour minimum wage, 40 hour week, no discrimination against old workers, and willingness to meet employest committees. The union rejected this employerst proposal.
Governor Charles H. Martin told the millmen to look first to local autfiorities for protection, but promised that if the situation gets out of hand he will "put t{re whole power of the state behind the maintenance of order."
At Bellingham two plants of Bloedel'Donovan Mills resumed lune 21. The management issued a statement in which it outlined the terms of its strike ss6lsrnsnl-a general inctease in wages with a minimum of 5O cents an hout for common labor, 49-6o,rr week, and recognition of the union as a collective bargaining agency for its members, with the understanding +"t non--union workers will continue to have the same standing and tights.
At Seattle only one woodworking plant, a box factor/r was in operation June 25.
The big Longview mills are still down. A. \f. Muir, execu' tive vice-president of the Btotherhood of Carpentets and Join' ers ordered cancellation of the Longview charter, and ordered all Longview union members to return to work in accordance with their ptevious agreement with the mill operators.

new charters have been issued for the Long-Bel[ and \Veyethaeuser mill workers.
Five mills at Grays Harbor were scheduled to reopen June 26, but opening was delayed. All Everett sawmills are idle.
fn a clash between police and pickets at Eureka, June 21, one man was killed, another died later of wounds and several were injured.
The police arrested 124 persons for rioting. The Eureka company of the National Guard was mobilized and ordered to stand by on the order of Governor Meniam. Authorities charge that the strike leaders are all Communists and agitators imported from other communities.
Eureka longshoremer4 who went out l|vlay 15 in sympathy strike, returned to work June24, and several boats have abeady been loaded with Redwood.
All the Redwood mills are running that were operating before the strike.
FIR-The Vest Coast Lumberments Association reported a gain in production by 519 down and operating mills for the week ended June 8 of 8,000,000 feet, as compared with the preceding week, and a gain of 114001000 feet for the week ended June 15.
Belief among California buyers that the strike is closer to settlement, coupled with the usual summer lull in building has eased the demand for both tail and cargo. Lath is scarce. B & Better, C and D grades of fooring are almost unobtainable for immediate shipment.
PLYWOOD-Douglas Fir plywood plants reported to be operating are Wheeler Osgood Sales Corp., Peterman Mfg. Co.' Buffelen Lumber & Mfg. Co., McCleary Timber Co., Vashington Veneer Co., M. & M. Plywood Co., and Plylock Corporation.
REDWOOD-Market activity is following its seasonal trend. Mills are busy working on present orders. Prices temain firm and stock conditions are unchanged.
PINE-New business totaling 49r9l7rOOO feet was reported by Western Pine Association for the week ended June 15. The total was t4 pet cent less than for the previous week. For the year to date orders are 37 per cent above the total for the cor' responding pedod a yeer ago. Prices are firm. Stocks are about 10 per cent below last year et this time, and are badly broken.
SHINGLES4nIy a small number of Red Cedar shingle mills are in operation Cargo arivals at Los Angeles harbor for the week ended June 24 totaled 613651000 feet which included ten cargoes of Fir. Unsold stocls on ttre docks at Los Angeles harbor totaled 5841000 feet on lune24. 42 vessels wete operating in the coastwise lumber service on June 247 56 vesoels were laid up.

"It is a miracle,'r said General Hugh Johnson the other day, "how we keep this depression going."
{<**
A rniracle, did you say, General? Well, at least it requires strenuous and continuous efforts. Reminds me of the dialogue between the two colored brothers. One said"Ho\il come you is allus lookin' fo' a job an' nevah findin' one?" "Dass skill, boy, das skill." "An' how come you nevah wuks but allus gits erlong?" "Dass management, boy, dass management." ttAn' how come you allus keeps you neckties tied so good?" "Dass genius, niggah, dass genius." {.{<*
And it requires nothing short of genius to keep this depression going. Even the hardest of the old-timey hardshell Democratic newspapers in the South are editorially questioning every day now when these "emergency" measures that were supposed to be instituted temporarily to assist recovery, are going to be dropped, and the new crop headed off?
**rS
Others are asking when "recovery" efforts terminated and the present wave of "reform" measures got started. The Supreme Court kitted NRA, the daddy of so-called "recovery" laws. So we have been laboring ever since with recovery-reform laws with which to bludgeon business, frighten employers, and postpone as long as possible such extension and expansion of the private business of the nation as must take up the slack of unemployment before we can get much better.
No wonder General ,";"; ,lr" .n.. it requires a miracle to keep this depression alive. The truth is being declared from one end of the country to the other today, and without regard to political party lines, that the recoveryreform efforts are the last hurdles that we must jump in ' order to get economically, industrially, and financially well. ft seems to be a known and accepted fact everywhere outside of washington
f am reminded every day of the remark of a former President Roosevelt concerning the marvelous capacity of some people for resisting information. If we could get the light that is shining elsewhere to shine in offEcial Washington
for a little while, we would be rid of this doubled-damned depression, and start going somewhere.
And we are seeing a splendid illustration of how almost impossible it is to get the claws of politics off of business, once they get a grip. A little further into the throes of bureaucracy and it would have required a major operation to get that grip loose. *:1.*
One little bit of information, however, seems to have thoroughly permeated official Washington, and that is what the American people think about changing the constitution to fit the New Deal. My rnemory does not go back as far as many, but surely never since,I have learned to read has any utterance of any public official in this country been received with so withering a blast of condemnation as that suggestion. From rich and poor, from old and young, from great and small, from North, East, South, and West, without regard to politics of party lines, came an avalanche of indignant protest' ,& ,. *
And, since that blare broke forth, it has indeed been-to quote the old Civil War poem-"All Quiet Along the Potomac.t'
Dropping NRA was n"rnrt ,rl-.n, ways, not the least of which, so far as the average small business is concerned, is termination of code dues. The cost of the code, now kept in the cash drawer, looks like a very decent profit to a world of small business men.
There isn't much to discuss about the new NRA. It was merely passed as a face-saving proposition, and I seriously doubt if it is supposed to be anything but a name. I have read only one announcement concerning its policies, namely that the effort to boost prices will be dropped for the present. The college-professor theory that it is better to get ten dollars a day and pay nine to live, than to get three dollars a day and pay two to live, becomes for the time inactive. Someone suddenly discovered that the dollar the three-two man has left over will buy several times as much as the one the ten-nine man has left, and they've taken time out while they check the figures.
(Continued on Page 8)
You have a real opportunity from now on to cash in on the powerful forces that have been working throughout the country to stimulate business in the building industry. At last the momentum of a continuous avalanche of promotion is being felt in the Vest. The building public has caught on to the advantages of easy financing. A huge market for better lumber is at handthe accumulated needs of several years. Be ready with a well rounded stock of Nature's outstanding building product-California Redwood Lumber.

Labor troubles in the lumber industry of the entire Pacific Coast are on the increase, with no relief in sight at this moment. The lumber market elsewhere is, of course, very good, by reason of the eiimination of the tremendous Western industry.
*tc{<
There are a hundred thousand fairly decent jobs open in the lumber industry of the West. And all over the country, in transportation and building lines, almost countless thousands of other men and their dependents lack work because those jobs are idle. But there is no relief in sight.

A good banker friend of rnine told me again the other day that his bank is heaped high with millions they want to loan, but can't. And they can't make any money running that bank until they get their money out at interest. He said, "Those we would like to lend to, don't want the money, and those who want the money have no assurance of repayment." f offered to lighten his load a million, but he suggested that I repeat over again what he had just said. I got the idea.
But the money he and other bankers have heaped high would put all our unemployed to work if that money was
Washington, June 23.Interest rates on insured refinanced mortgages today were reduced by the Federal Housing Administration from 5l per cent to 5 per cent. The Housing Administration also reduced the premium on refinanced mortgages to I of 1 per cent, the same as new refinancing. Previously it had been 1 per cent.

put to work. But this high-heaped cash condition of the banks is a bad sign. It is a sign that those who own money would rather leave it in safe keeping, with little or no interest, than trust it to the hazards of investment.
It really isn't the bankers that cause the money jam. If YOU had a million dollars on deposit in a bank and found out that that bank was making a lot of loans, you would probably change banks. And if you think the present gang of laws in the making in Washington, like the labor, bank, holding company, social security, and tax laws, are loosening up any of our hoarded money-you've got another thini< coming.
We've heard a lot of "frozen assets" in the past several years. My idea of a real frozen asset is the money that belongs to a citizen who is frightened by radical legislation.
Speaking of money, the five billion dollar relief fund is NOT to be spent politically, so we are told. I'm sure of that. And, water will stop seeking its level, and lovers will cease to like moonlight, castor oil will become childhood's most popular confection, while carbolic acid will come into common use as a mouth-wash.
Meadow Valley Lumber Company has bought the timber and sawmill of the Spanish Peak Lumber Company at Spanish Ranch, Calif., near Quincy.
The officers of the company are Will F. Morrish, president; B. W. Adams, vice president and general manag'er, and Earl L. Miller, secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Adams was for many years sales manager of the lumber division of the Fruit Gowers' Supply Company, San Francisco, and for some time was sales manager of the Pickering Lumber Company at San Francisco. Later he was manager of the Feather River Lumber Company, Delleker, Calif.
It is expected that the plant will be in operation by July l.

Figures announced by the Federal Housing Administration, supplemented by encouraging building and business reports from all sections of the country, are evidence that a very large amount of repair and modernization work, as well as new construction, is scheduled for the current summer.
Property owners of the nation, as of June 8, had pledged to spend $428,541,779 for modernization and repair work in connection with the better housing program. This is an increase of $12,616,038 over the total of the previous week. Total funds advanced under the modernization credit plan amounted on June 8 to $79,269,8@, which was a gain.of $3,436,776. Apparently there was no decline in the number of persons who decided to spend cash for improvements inspired by the better housing program, for the amount of credit advanced was far below the estimated amount of work carried out.
The number of community campaigns organized or in the process of. organization reached 7,933, with 155 chairmen appointed during the week.
A,pplications for mortgage insurance totaled $67,104,533 on June 8. This is a gain of $7,631,283 over the previous seven day period. Commitments totaled $27,963,156 on that date, an increase ol $2,425,399. Thirty-five per cent of this total was for new homes.
The U. S. Forest Service headuarters in San Francisco today announced the award of contracts for airplane service in forest fire protection in California for the 1935 season to the Duck Air Service, Oakland; Schneider Air Service, Fresno; and Dan T. Moran Co., Monrovia. Three planes will be available on call for the fourteen national forests north of the Tehachapi, two from the Duck Service and one from the Schneider Service. and the four southern forests will be served by the Dan T. Moran Company.
For the first time, forest offic'ers state, this year's contracts provide that all planes used in fire protection must be equipped to handle Forest Service two-way ultra high frequency radios for communication betrveen aerial observers and fire camps. Planes are used by forest officers for scouting large fires and patrol when heavy smoke and fog interfere with the visibility of the national forest lookout system. Landing fields are now located in or near all of the national forests in California.
During the season of. 1934 the flying time of four planes used in fire pgevention work by the Forest Service was 222 horirs without an accident. The forests of northern California used 169 hours, with 53 hours in the southern forests.

Washington, D. C., June l8.-Regulations governing the extension of modernization credit by financial institutions for improvement of properties under the $50,000 provision of the amended National Housing Act "open a new market which should be of direct benefit to practically all industry and of indirect benefit to the nation as a whole," according to Acting Federal Housing Administrator Stewart McDonald.
The entire building industry is vitally interested in these recently adopted regulations, and an understanding of their provisions is necessary to a complete cooperation with the better housing program.
The maximum limit of the amount of credit obtainable for the improvement or modernization of individual homes and other classes of property mentioned in the original act remains fixed at $2,000. This type of 'credit is being provided for the purposes of making additions, alterations, repairs and improvements of real property, including also such new construction as garages and certain other similar structures,
Particularly pertinent and worthy of the closest study is that portion of the new regulations concerning the class of modernization credit made possible by the $50,000 amendment. This type of credit is extended for additions, alterations, repairs and improvement for "real property improved by or to be converted into apartment or multiple family houses, hotels, office, business or other commercial buildings, hospitals, orphanages, colleges, schools, or manufacturing or industrial plants." The maximum limit of credit obtainable for each separate prope{ty is $50,00O.
The cost of architectural and engineering services is eligible for modernization credit as is also the purchase and installation of machinery and equipment in the types of property mentioned in the preceding paragraph under the new regulations provided they are "peculiarly adapted to the business conducted therein or necessary to the operation thereof ."
Determination of the credit risk involved is left largely to the discretion of the financial institution advancing the
funds. This was substantially true under the old regulations.
Dealers, contractors, salesmen and all others of the building industry, coming in contact with prospects for modernization who are considering the obtaining of credit under the $50,000 limit provisions, should be particularly well posted on certain provisions of these regulations. The most important information the prospect will require is contained in the following paragraphs taken from the regulations:
The applicant for credit will be required to sign a promissory note, which must be in the form generally considered to be valid and enforceable in the State in which it is issued.
The financi"r in.tituJoT f"tittll,"., as interest and/or discount and/or fee of any kind, a total charge not in excess of an amount equivalent to $5 discount per $100 original face amount of a one-year note to be paid in equal monthly installments. This charge is a permitted maximum and not a mandatory rate and a loan at any lower rate is eligible for insurance and such charge correctly based on tables or calculations issued by the Administrator is deemed to comply rvith this regulation.
Notes may provide for the payment by the maker of a "late charge" not to exceed five cents for each dollar for each payment more than 15 days in arrears, but not to exceed $5 in respect of any one such late payment. In lieu of, but not in addition to, the "late charge," the note may provide for interest on overdue payments from the clue date of the payment at a rate not to exceed the maximnm legal rate permitted in the State where the loan is macle.
Notes may not have a final maturity in excess of five years, except in the case of savings, building and loan associations, cooperative banks, ancl similar institutions. However, the permission to take notes with maturities in excess of five years is limited to those cases lvhere the amount advanced is $2.000 or less.
Notes must be payable in equal monthly installments, except the final installment, which may be slightly more or less, subject to such exceptions as may be made by the Administrator. Monthly installment notes may not provide for a first payment less than six nor more than 6O clays after date of the note. Even in such cases at least one payment must be .made yearly, however, and the proportion of .total principal to be paid in later years must not exceed the pro. portion of total principal payable in earlier years.
Taxes, assessments, and payments on principal and/or interest on mortgages on the property to be improved need only be in such standing as is acceptable to the financial institution. The status of such items, whether delinquent
or not, shall not affect the eligibility of a note for insurance if the financial institution is u'illing to extend the credit.
The rule that the income of the borrower be five times the annual payment is no longer a flat requirement. The question of the financial condition of the borrower is left to the reasonable judgment of the financial institution as a credit matter. The borrower must furnish the lending institution a financial statement approved as to form by the Administrator which in the judgment of the financial institution shows the borrower to be solvent, with reasonable ability to pay the obligation and in other respects a reasonable credit risk in view of the insurance provided by the National Housing Act.

The exhibit of the California Redwood Association at the California Pacific International Exposition is a very fine one and is attracting visitors at the rate of 40O an hour, according to Henry M. Hink, sales manager of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, San Francisco, who recently paid a visit to the Exposition.
Great interest is being shown in the San Francisco exhibit, he says, which is a model of the City of San Francisco made from California Redwood.
The exhibit of the Redrvood Empire Asssociation features a clear Redrvood slab 14 feet long, 68 inches wide and 27/2 inches thick, and a log section of an llOGyear-old Redu'ood marked to show the diameter of the tree at various interesting historical dates. Both of these articles are loaned to the Exposition by the San Diego Lumber Company.
It is interesting to note that June 1O marked the 25th anniversary of Mr. Hink's association with Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company.
N. L. Cary, manager of the sales promotion department of the Western Pine Association, Portland; was a recent visitor to San Francisco on business for the Association.
Roth-Maier Lumber Company held a formal opening of their fine new retail store at 2800 Third Street. San Francisco, on Saturday, June 8.
The new store is 76 f.eet long by 30 feet wide, and it has six large display windows facing on Third Street. The store is insulated with Insulite an the exterior of the building is painted with aluminum paint, the same kind that will be used to paint the San Francisco-Oakland bridge.
Sacramentor June 27, Ig3s.-William G. Bonelli, State Registrar of Contractors and Director of the Department of Professional and Vocational Standards in Governor Merriam's cabinet, today announced the appointment of ten inspectors under the Civil Service laws of the State.
In making the appoinfments, Mr. Bonelli stated that, "as required of me by the amendment to the Civil Service Laws passed last year, these men have been selected from the higheqt ranking names certified for positions by the State Civil Service Department, without regard to territory or personal consideration."
The newly appointed inspectors are as follows:
Harry Abrahams, Jess W. Aykroyd, J. Layman Beall, Nelson Berger, Henry G. Ctrark; John Creighton, Willard Evison, Leonard H. Ford, Albert G. Kelly, and August Rahlves.
"I believe that the Contractors' License Bureau has a personnel staff of which the contractors of this State may well be proud," states Mr. Bonelli. "Every man in the Bureau has had considerable practical experience in the construction field."
They carry a full line of builder's hardware, a complete line of Pabco paints and floor coverings, plumbing and electrical supplies, and garden equipment.
With the Empire Mill in the same building customers can be served with millwork and all other building supplies in one purchase.
The City has just completed re-paving the street, and there is plenty of parking space available for customers. Third Street is one of San Francisco's main traffic arteries, so with their splendid location and facilities Roth-Maier T umber Company seem to be in line for a substantial increase in their business.
Fred W. Roth and Paul G. Maier are the principals in the firm.
Peter Schafer, president of the Schafer Bros. Lumber & Shingle Co., Montesano, Wash., was a recent visitor at the company's Los Angeles and San Francisco offices.
The production of Redwood shingles is being increased as rapidly as possible, and every effort is being made by the mills to supply the California market.
No dry No. 1 Redwood shingles are available, but shipments of green shingles can be made promptly.
John C. Haring, secretary:of the Fir Association of Northern California, has also been appointed secretary of the Wholesale Sash & Door',\ssociation of Northern California. His office is in the Monadnock Building, San Francisco.
Bruce Clark, vice president and general manager of Elliott Bay Mill Company, Seattle, recently made a round trip by air to San Francisco and Los Angeles to confer with the company's representatives, Lloyd Harris and D. C. Essley.
l)ee C. Essley, who has probably the largest acquaintance of any individual among the lumber dealers of California, has decided to get back into private business again, and has become one of the principals of the Elliott Bay Sales Company, agents for -Big Timber- plywood and wallboard, .manufactured by the Elliott Bay Mill Company, Seattle.
Mr. Essley has opened an office in the Petroleum Securities Building, Los Angeles, and will be in charge of the Southern California territory.
Lloyd Harris will, of course, continue to handle the Northern California territory from the Oakland office. He and Dee have been friends for many years, and they will make a good team.
Mr. Essley has had considerable experience both in the retail and wholesale branches of the lumber business. He started to work in the retail business with the Whittier Lumber Company in 1915, and later was connected with A. L. "Gus" Ifoover, Los Angeles, Southern California agent for The Pacific Lumber Company, and WendlingNathan Company, traveling for Mr. Ifoover in that territory for five years.
In l9D he went with the California Retal Lumbermen's Association as secretary and field man, and spent several years in the work of organizing local associitions.
When the Lumber Code came into effect in October, 1933 he was loaned by the State Association to the Code authority to act as their executive secretary, and served in this capacity up to May 31, 1935. This was a very busy period in his career. Incidently he made five round trips to Washington, D. C. ip connection with Code matters. Two of these journeys were made by the air route.
He is enthusiastic about his work and the -Big Timberline, and is looking forward to meeting many of his old friends in Southern California.

He is tired of toiling and moiling
In the seething marts of men; Tired of tearing do'ivn, he says, And of building up again; And he longs for the peaceful valley
Where he spent his idle youth, Dreaming the dreams of boyhood And learning its lessons of truth.
In the spell of alluring visions, He turns with a weary sigh, From the throbbing heart of the city Where the tides of life sweep by, And he yearns for the soothing murmurs Of a stream that once he knew. Forgetting that only the builders Can make his dreams come true.
Go, rear your airy castles tsy the river's rippling tide, Then come rvith your wistful fancies And stand by the builder's side; His soul must capture the vision, His hands the work must do, For only the tireless builder Can make your dreams come true.
Sing then a song of the city
With its turmoil and its strife, Where dreamers and builders together Are solving the problems of life, Where together they build for the future With pride in the work they do, And the magical task of the builders Is to make our dreams come true.

The common dread of all snakes and tfue fear of being bitten by a rattlesnake has spoiled many a h"ppy vacation in the foothill and mountain regions of California, according to officers of the United States Forest Service. Rattlesnake bites are painful, they say, but only a small percentage are fatal-provided one knows what to do in the way of first aid treatment, or until the services of a physician can be secured.
Here are a few rules for emergency treatment of rattlesnake bites, given by entomologists and physicians who are authorized on the subject, which the forest rangers say are well worth remembering.
1. Keep'cool. Don't run or get overheated.
2. Apply a tourniquet (rubber garter, rubber tubing or band, handker,chief, cord, shoestring) a few inches above the wound and between the wound and the heart. Bind the limb tight enough to hinder cir'culation in the veins, but not tight enough to shut off arterial flow. Loosen the tourniquet every 15 or 20 rhinutes for one to three minutes.
3. Open the fang punctures by cross-cuts /s-inch deep and rfi-inch or more long, made with a sharp sterile knife or safety razor blade. Do not slash indiscriminately or too deeply, especially on hand, foot, wrist, or ankle, as serious damage to tendons may result.
4. Suck the wound, by mouth if necessary, but be sure the mouth is free from wounds or abrasions. If suction bulb is available, apply mechanical suction f.or 20 minutes out of each hour. /-
L .'ff. anti-venomous serum is at hand, administer at once according to directions. This countera'cts the venom which may have reached the blood stream.
6. Keep the patient quiet. In the case of weak heart action and fainting give stimulants such as strong black coffee, aromatic spirits of ammonia, or strychnine. Don't give whiskey or other alcoholic drink.
7. Don't depend on snake bite "cures" or home remedies. Potassium permanganate is of no value as an antidote and may injure the tissues. Don't cauterize the site of the bite with strong acids or the like.
8. Get the patient to a physician as soon as possible.
Higher rates will be assessed against most purchases when the new California sales tax goes into effect July 1. Practically all foodstuffs are exempt, however, except those sold in restaurants.
The tax rate will be increased from 2l to 3 per cent of the purchase price.
This will result in the following schedule: From 1 to 14 cents, no tax; from 15 to 49 cents, 1 cent; from 50 to 83 cents, 2 cents; from 84 to $1.16, 3 cents; from $1.17 to $1.49 4 cents; and from $1.50 to $1.83, 5 cents.

Of particular interest to Hoo Hoo members and lumbermen in general who were in the San Francisco Bay district at the time of the great disaster of April 18, 1906, is a file in possession of Frank W. Trower, Trower Ltrmber Co., San Francisco, which records the generous act of Hoo Hoo members throughout the country in quickly subscribing and making available on April 24, jast six days after the disaster, the'sum of $2000 for the relief of members ol the Order who might be in need of temporary assistance.
Mr. Trower, who was Vicegerent Snark of the Northern California district at the time, got busy and appointed a Hoo Hoo relief committee of nine, and the file shows the names of these to be as follows: M. W. Davis, J. C. Ward, E. F. Neihaus, A. Keogh, John F. Muller, H. Templeman, R. W. Neighbor, J. C. Ellis and F. W. Trower. A copy of a display ad inserted in "The Bulletin" by the Vicegerent is preserved. This invited all Hoo Hoo members in need of temporary assistance to get in touch with him, and asked them to pass the word along.
Names of the 20 San Francisco lumber yards burned out April 18 to 20, 1906, are recorded. These are: Bellingham Bay Lumber Co., Simpson Lumber Co., Hickman & Masterson, Blyth & Trott, Leonard-Morton Lumber Co., J. F. Symington, Christenson Lumber Co., Seymour & Elliot, J. W. Schouton Lumber Co., R. C. Jones & Co., Morrison Lumber Co., Central Lumber & Mill Co., South Side Lumber Co., McCloud River Lumber Co., Edw. F. Niehaus & Co., E. A. Howard & Co., Fred H. Rowe, Allen & Higgins, Dieckmann & Co., S. H. tHarmon Lumber Co.
Letters in the file include one from R. D. Inman, of Portland, Snark of the IJniverse, telling of his efiorts in connection with the subscription of the $2000 fund, and announcing that a sum of money had been sent April 27 by Portland Hoo Hoo; also a letter from Geo. E. Merrill of Salt Lake City, advising that a sum of money had been wired to San Francisco April 27.
There is also a copy of a call sent out to Hoo Hoo by J. H. Baird, editor of the Southern Lumberman, Nashville, Tenn., Supreme Scrivenoter, asking for contributions.
Included also is a letter written June 20, 1906, from his temporary office at 337 Berry St., San Francisco, by A. J. "Gus" Russell, congratulating Vicegerent Trower on the able manner in which he handled Ho Hoo affairs during that trying period.
A humorous note is struck by the notice sent out by the Snark for a concatenation headed "The Singed Black Cats will Concatenate in San Francisco, Saturday night, August 25, 1906." Under the heading is the jingle:
All the Hoo',Hoo will be there, Their tails, though scorched, curled high in air.
A clipping from the Southern Lurrrberman of September 25, 1906, contains a report of the Hoo Hoo Annual held that year in Oklahoma City. At this meeting a letter from Snark Trower was read by Wallace W. Everett, commissioned to represent the Northern District of California. The letter announced that the money subscribed by Hoo Hoo throughout the country had not been needed and
The American Lumber & Treating Company has opened San Francisco Offices at 116 New Montgomery Street in charge of Chas. R. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson has had 20 years' experience on the Pacific Coast in the manufacture, sales and sales promotion of Douglas Fir. He has specialized in the wood preservation end of the business.
From this office they will handle sales and sales promotion of Wolmanized Fir in Northern California.
The plant, located at Wauna, Oregon, is now ready for operation.
Wolman Salts treatment has a splendid service record of more than a quarter of a century. It is positive proof against termites and decay, and the material is fire resistant. It can be varnished, shellacked or painted. It is odorless, and readily handled without injury to the person. The treatment imparts a pleasing gray color.
It is the policy of the American Lumber & Treating Company to market their materials through established channels of trade. Responsible wholesalers will be quoted net mill prices. It is to be understood, however, that the retail dealer is to be protected at all times.
The San Francisco office of this firm will also handle sales of the untreated lumber of the Crossett-Western Company, Wauna, Ore.
The firm's telephone number is SUtter 1225.
D. G. MacDougall and R. A. Cole of the firm of MacDougall & Cole, Los Angeles, returned on June 24 from a week's motor trip to their source of supply, the Peterman Manufacturing Co., Tacoma, Wash.
Mr. Everett handed back a check for $2000 to be used for the Order's Imminent Distress Fund. Mr. Everett explained that very few Hoo Hoo members had accepted temporary financial assistance, and then only in the form of a loan. Local subscriptions and money sent from }foo Hoo in other California cities and Pacific Coast cities had proved sufficient.
The Snark's letter said in part: "With the money we also wish to return our heartfelt thanks for this fraternal aid so promptly and generously offered at a time when it seemed that many Hoo iHoo in this city would be in the deepest want. But the manhood of San Francisco Hoo Hoo came through the fiery test in triumph, and the grit and resolution of our boys has put them once more on their feet without using any of your fund, which represents the magnanimous giving of every part of our beloved country."
A prediction obtained in the letter has been fully fulfilled. This was: "We are now an important part of the forces which are restoring to our Nation its gateway to the Pacific, and ere long the newer and more beautiful San Francisco will arise Phoenixlike from the ashes and desolation of the past."
