THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

the Albion, making the present splendid operation, which is controlled by The Southern Pacific Railroad.

Both mills have been operated ever since, and will continue to be for many years to come, with a normal production from both mills of approximately 50,0@,000 feet annually. The rough lumber is produced at both plants, the larger mill being that at Albion at the mouth of the river, and the Navarro mill, an auxiliary plant, located twenty miles away on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, and connected with the Albion plant by that road. All the finishing and remanufacturing of lumber is done at Albion. While they have a dry kiln equipment they specialize in air dried lumber to a very large extent. Their lumber is very carefully and painstakingly manufactured, and they rate their grades and quality very highly. Their shipments are entirely by water.

While they have twenty-five years of virgin timoer ahead of them, their holdings being sound, vigorous timber of good average size, they are increasing their future timber supply continually by the finest of reforestration policies. They replant their denuded land every year, and have at the present time second growth timber close to thirty years of age, and they hope to make their operation perpetual by these reforesting methods.

Their mills are modern and efficient, and they operate three logging camps and a standard gauge logging road to bring in their log supply.

For Smooth, Faster Cutting

If you have not tried the Planer Saw -that new smoothcutting saw for woo& w6rksls - you are missing an opportunity. This saw cuts almost as smoothly as a planer knife, rips and cross-cuts equally well on hard or soft wood and stands fast hand feed.

My Neighbor And I

My neighbor lives just over the way, across the boundary fence.

A habit that neighbors have.

But he is no mere neighbor, in the sense that his property is simply adjacent to mine.

He greets you with a smile, no matter who yo,u are or where he meets you, and his big bass voice booms out cheery exclamations.

That neighbor of mine.

He's the idol of every youngster in the neighborhood, for whose eager interrogatives he is never too busy, and into whose playJife he enters with a heart that refuses to grow old.

Even the animals and birds find sanctuary, food and shelter by grace of-

This neighbor of mine.

He does not turn away from the tears of others, or shun their burdens, but is the first to offer his services in sorrow's lone hour-a rock of defense for the weary heart.

Through the faults of others he draws an erasing line and covers their sin with a mantle of true charity, and, like the One of old, gently bids them go in, peace and sin no more:

This neighbor of mine.

But-and in this my heart condemns rne- boy, has yo' been cleanin' chim\yf" nosoot-dat's dandruff."

Am I true neighbo,r tb him?

Signs Of Age

They used to say that a woman is as old as she looks and a man is old when he quits looking.

The newer rule is that a man is as old as his arteries. and a woman as old as her knees.

Stampingyour Money

By doing good with his money a man, as it were, stamps the image of God upon it, and makes both pass current in the merchandise of eternity.-Rev. A. Rutledge.

My Symphony

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not resp€ctable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely; await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden, and unconscious, grow up through the common; this is to be my symphony.-William Haney Channing

Americans A Road

"When you !\rer and Petrograd?" urope did ou visit Brussels, Rome,

"I really don't know. M irsband bought the tickets."

Progressiveness

Progressiveness is looking forward intelligently, looking forward critically, and moving on incessantly.-W. P; Warren.
