Naval Station Graces Roof Of Gold

By P. S. Johnson, The ParafEne Companies, Inc.

How many ealifornians know that there is a roof of ggld in the vicinity of San Francisco? Yes, real gold, and it's not on the home of some opulent captain of indusrty, either. In fact it covers one of Uncle Sam's homes-the naval training station at Goat Island, a structure gracing the magnificent San Frartcisco harbor.

Around the laying of that roof in 1898 hang an historical story. I heard the 1tory of this golden roof recently f1Jrl' Mr. S. C. Irving, a director of the company. Said Mr. Irving:

"In 1898 rvhen a roof was needed to cover the new Goat Island Training Station, I felt that the best thing for me to do was to go onto Washington. I arrived in Washington and an hour later found myself in the Admiral's office. He had the reputation of being a chronic grouch, and as his back was turned to me I decided to announce my presence. He turned and scowled at me.

"Well, to cut a long story short I was awarded the contract. I hastened back to San Francisco and work on installing the roof began. We couldn't get sufficient iron slag, until I heard of a lot of iron slag in Melrose, a sTall citv in Alameda Countv. The smelter had been used to separate rebellious gold ore, and after we put quite a quantity of the slag on the roof it was discovered that th9 slag contained gold which assayed nothing less than $'1O.00 a ton.

"You can rest assured that when the discovery was made no more of that type of slag went on the roof. A funny thing about it was that the slag on the roof was worth more than the entire roof."

New Forest Experiment Station Plans For Northwest And Southern States

By reason of an increase in the appropriation for silvical research recently granted by Cong:ress, plans are being made in the Forest Service for the establishment of a forest experiment station in the Pacific Northwest to handle the foiestry problems of Washington and Oregon. This station will be on a par rvith those established a year ago at St. Paul, Minn., and Amherst, Mass., to care for the Lake States and Northeastern regions. Its location has not yet been determined, but will probably be announced this fall by the Fcirest Service. Growth, management, and protection of Douglas fir and other coastal types will be the most pressing problem of the new station, in addition to questions pertaining to management of the yellow pine forests on the eastern side of the Cascade range.

Wholesalers Beaten in Ball Game at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Wholesale Lumbermen's Baseball team, composed of nine of the best playing and har4est hitting men to be found in this business, in Southern California, played a hard fought battle, with the Retailers Team, on Saturday afternoon, June 28th, with the sad result of a score of 20 to 2, in favor of the retail gang.

The winning boys had it all their way from the start, proving themselves. the superior players, both in their fielding ability and in their swatting.

There were quite a number of rooters on hand, and a considerable sum was raised, to apply on the purchase of uniforms for the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo team, Mr. Forest Wilson, of Meyer & Hodge, Los Angeles, is captain of the Wholesalers team, and B. W. Bookstaver, of McCulloughFagan is manager.
