Swgect that you read Mr. Dionne'r editorial "Things Look Better in ttre Northwestr" on page 18, in this issu€. It is the most optimirtic report coming down from the source of tbe Fir supply, in some time, and clearly states some facts that will give the retailer a different angle.
Right at thic moment mill pricer are firm. Operators are holding for their published ratel, especially cutting, and it is tte wholeraler who has the moat to complain of, in his rdes to the next fellow.
To quote rome figrrea: Cutting orders are firm at $17.00 to $l9.OO mill. They have not weakened in some time. Randomr, of various kinds, are still being offered at $15.00 to $16.0O, mill.
A recent nunor, in Southern California, of a prevailing rate of fi.25 for boat charterc was proven unreliable, upon investigation. The large boat operators state that $5.OO is the price, that some charters have gone ar low as $4.5O, in extreme cases, but that this price is not the rule.
Forty-one vessels are tied up, in California, most of ttem at Oahland.
In rpite of this the volume into California will run to pretty good figures for JuIy, Southern California receiving an ap- proximate |25,OOO'OOO feet, from indications on the morning of the 30th. One week at San Pedro witnessed the unloading of thirty million.
One large operator in Los.dngeles reports that tbeir July business will cornpare favorably. with Jure, in tonnage, and that fhe profits will rhow about the same proportion. He rtates that the first week of the montt was very quiet, follorved by two weeks of fair activity, and that the lart huo weeks were again very dull.
Building permitr in Los Angeles will total cloee to fiftecn million dollars, for the month, including one permit for ovcr four million dollars for the new City Hall. The balance ir a very good total, for the mid-summer month, and includcr a gratifying num[er of dwelling and apartment house plans.
The following telegram, received on the 3oth, gives a good idea of conditionr in the Bay Dietrict:
Douglar Fir: (Chicago). The market in the Bay Dirtrict chows very little change. The volume of burine!! continues fair. At the precent time there ere 41 boatr tied up. The carpenterst strike, which has curtailed the demand in the Bay District for the past three months, shows no materid changer.
Nit. 3 Vertical Grain and No. 4 Flooring havc rtrcngthened a little in the part two weekr, with No. 2 Vertical Grain fooring rernaining about the same. Clears, Slash Grain Uppers, and 1 in. and 2 in. Comrnonr rhow no change. Lath, rhingles, and No. 3 Common are not ro rtrong.
MiIl quotation$ are rtronger. The export market ir rcported very good, with a good volume pf businer coming from the ^Atlantic Coast. The Middle West merket is fair. _ (B"il). The rail demand in the interior is fab with the demand in the Bay Dirtrict not very active.
In general, the cargo and rail marketr have chown no radical changer in priceo, with the price rituetion rtill remaining unratirfactory.

The stuff you sell is considerable of apuzzle-and there is no, sense in making it any harder to figure out than it naturally is.
Even when stored neatly and in an attractive manner it doesn't explain very much abbut itself.
You see, the lumber industry as yet hasn't reached the point where habit makes people see WHAT IT IS and WHAT IT DOES with the same eye.
People buy many raw materials properly-they think, for instance, of bread and cake and biscuits when they buy FLOUR because the millers have been advertising and talking RESULTS and not merely MATERIALS.
And after the lumbermen have stopped talking "just wood" and have talked BARN and SHELF and HOME as long as the flour millers, then the METHOD OF BUYING WOOD and the WOOD BUSINESS itself will be what they should be.
Stop making people guess what you really have for sale.
TELL THEM. SHOW THEM. STOP BEING A CONUNDRUM..
The happy practice of explaining "wood" to the "stranger within your gates" is growing-but you have to get him inside. You are installing display and service and reception rooms-you are stocking and us ing samples and pictures and plan books -you are developing very good powers of salesmanship.
But Friend Dealer, there are still too m any of you who hide all these good thingsthese things for which the public is anxious-behind blank walls
The lumber dealer who permits a solid wall or an unbroken fence to border a street commits a grave disservice in, his town.
Cut display windows into the side of that wall. They will take up very little space -indeed they will not, in one case in a thousand, use any space at all that is now occupied; examine your own sheds and see.
Dress those windows attractively and chaqge them frequently.
Show samples of your stock. Use explanatory cards. A single fresh, bright, lxl1, 6 feet long, with a card saying: "Here is that shelf you want over the sink-36c," will tell just the story the passer-by wants to know.
"Just a board"-that's something of a puzzle; while to guess what lies behind s€V€r*l ty-five or a hundred feet of blank wall-and whether that "something" can be of use to him-and how-and what it costs-
Well, he simply won't bother about trying to guess.
He's too busy these days to guess conundrums.

Portland's building permits for the first half of 1926 amounted to $I7,257,075, being a 24 per cent reduction from last year's comparable figure.
Seattle's total for the first six months of this year was $18,330,470, a 1 per cent reduction from the 1925 figures of the same period.
June permits were $2,879,180 for Portland and $2,670,380 for Seattle.
The month of July marked the appearance ot a new wholesale lumber concern in Los Angeles, with the openlng o{ the Bookstaver-Burns Lumber eompany, a new California corporation
The two leading lights of the company need no introduction and their accompanying photographs are about all that is necessary to print about them, personally. "Book" and "Bob" are well known, well liked, well versed in the wholesale game, and are well fitted to hit the Southern California market and make good.
They incorporated just recently, adopting the name "Bookstaver-Burns," and have opened main offices in the new Chamber of Commerce Building.
Then at Seattle thev will maintain offices. under the direction of Mr. Roger Jiyne. These offices are itt the WhiteI{enry-Stuart Blig.
The Company will offer a complete cargo service, operat- ing the S.S. Freeman Steamship Company's vessels.
They have the exclusive cargo sales rights for the state,
on the well known brand of Eclipse Flooring, and are Southern California representatives ?or the CroJsett Western Company, Wauna,- Oregon.
Then they will handle considerable stocks from these mills: Stimson Timber Company, p.uget Sound Saw Mills &, Shingle C_omp1ny, Seattlb Mitt t Logging Company, Washrngton Lumber & Spar Company and the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company.
"Book" has been in the lumber game, in California, for over- fifteen years. He started when he was a kid, in the northern part of the state, and there is probably noi a better known and more universally liked iellow in the game in the^st?te.- .Especially among the younger crowd. "
L. G. (Bob) Burns has been- associatedwith Mr. Bookstaver for f-our years and is thoroughly experienced in all branches of the wholesale game. -He traj gone through themill, is an experienced buyer, and has sold-in both enlds of the state.
More power to them.

A course that would have brought tears to a Bobbie Joneg or a George Von Elm, did not terrify a single one of the fifty odd Los Angeles lumberrien, that turned out to plan in the July l6th Hoo-Hoo Tournament, held at the Lakeside Country Club.
Ttiis course is a terrific test for golfers and has quite a reputation for having considerable trouble for the 'dub' who does not khow what he is in for, when starting.
As a result, the gross scores were somewhat higher than have been turned in at former tournaments, but the party as. a whole was the most successful ever held by the Loi Angeles boys.
Fifty-nine players teed off, starting at noon. Cliff Bergstrom attended to the handicapping and Herman .Rosenberg took the money and did the registering.
Hany Hanson was on the job, with his Kodak, and also
with a box of California Panel Company cigars and'some advertising pencils. He was so busy spreading propaganda he did not play in the tournament
Aside froh the snappy 82 turned in by Frances Boyd, of Santa Barbara, there were no phenomenal scores registered, in spite of the fact that the distinguished list contained names like Frank Burnaby, Gus Hoover, Cappy Slade, Roy Stanton, Leo Rosenberg, and Frank Haris.
R. T. Gheen led the singing at the evening Stag banquet. It was a jolly crowd at dihner, with a lot of fun.
Heqe are the prize winners:
F'rances Boyd, 82 gross, Jack Dionne Cup.
Walter Riley, 99-8-71, Joe Chapman Cup.
Gus Hoover,89-12-77, First Prize, First Flight.
Cappy Slade, 87-8-79, Second Prize, First Flight.

II)UILDERS find permanent satisJD faction in Long-Bell trademarked-oak flooring. Its excellence of manufacture makes it economical to lay and finish-a beautiful, durable floor.
Douglas Fir is practically impervious to water, holds nails firmly, is strong, takes stains well in any shade or color, and combines beauty, utility and durability.
Rift sawed or edge grain stock is most serviceable. The amount of edge grain stock produced in Douglas Fir is many times that obtainable in any other wood.
Sl;r,cl<pd'W itlnut Srrcking
Douglas Fir timbers may be stacked solid for storage; being practically all heart, no harm results.
Long-Bell dry kilns at Longview, Wash., are of the latest design, having the largest capacity in the Pacific Northwest, and the kiln drying is scientifically controllep, which assures properly cured lumber.
LongBell trade-marked Douglas Fir dimension stays straight, and flooring, ceiling and siding do not have to be fcrrced to make tight joints.
Douglas Fir is suitable for a greater variety of uses than any other wood.
Long-Bell Douglas Fir lumber and timbers are trade-marked as identification of unusual thoroughness in manufacture -plus more than fifty years' experience as lumbermen. g[te?"r

Chicago, July l5.-Relief for tall men from short beds, low ceilings, short Pullman berths, short bath tubs and other inconveniences is in sight, says Benjamin Ostlind of Marshfield, Ore., a visiting Elk, who stands six feet four.
Oslind, a prosperous lumberman, ascertained that there were more than two million six-footers-plus in the United States, organized and became the president of the Tall Men's Association, and then began spieading a,,tall,' propa- ganda.
- Through the.organization's efiorts Oslind said, hotels throughout the country have taken cognizance of the needs of taller men. One hotel has an entiie floor built for tall men.
.While in the "Windy City" to attend the Elks Corven_ !i.o1, Ben took a few minutis off to tell some of the boys of the trials and tribulations that the ..tall bovs', have io contend with in their travels. Ben is one of ihe popular West Coast lumbermen and operates the Coos V&eer & Box Co. at Marshfield, Oregon.-
Many electric driven planing mills in California are now having installed something nerv in the way of an exhaust and blower system, rvhere they have tlvelve to fifteen machines in their plant.
When operating, the waste from one-third of these machines is sawdust, while the balance is shavings. There being a market for sawdust, but no sale for shaving, it has been necessary to collect the sawdust by hand, or install a separate blower system to take care of it, but with the new system, it is proposed to direct connect all machines to one exhaust fan system, and to separate the sawdust from the shavings at the shaving bin, which is done with a sawdust separating dust arrester. 'fhis equipment is manufactured and erected by the Wes-Co Blorver and Pipe Company of Oakland, Cal., another Pacific Coast product for California industrial plants.
The forest fire situation in Washington and Oregon is very serious, and is said to be the worst in years. Deer Island Logging Co., Deer Island, Ore., lost its entire camp, including 10 donkeys and 5,000,000 feet of down logs. Damage amounting to $200,000 was done in the workings of the Yeomans Lumber Co. at Pe Ell, Wash. Several million feet of logs, nine donkeys and other equipment were destroyed. Many of the fires have b,een started by lightning. About 500 men were required to fight fires in the Colville National Forest in Washington and the Chelan National Forest in Washington used 40O fire fighters.

..O(JRS IS THE STANDARD''
Kansas City, U. S. A.
Portland, Ore., July 2S.-Things aren't nearly as bad in the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest as many folks have painted them, most of these folks being Northwestern lumber visitors.
That is my conclusion at the end of my first weelCs visit in the "Fir Northwest."
As a matter of fact my firm conviction is that the lumber industry is in better condition today than it has ever been in this territory, (with the exception, of course, of those wild days that succeeded the termination of the great world war), and that it is going to keep on being better with every year that passes from this time on. Every indication points that way.
There has been lots of grurnbling, and plenty of pessimistic reports have been printed up in this country, and I think tfiese pessimistic waves are a deliberate mistake.
The condition up here very well refects the softwood condition of the country generally, and of the Souttr particularly. So far this year the mills of the Northwest have sold and shipped more lumber than they have manufactured, there is no accumulation of stocks, no adverse physical condition, and the genertl market is a very excellent one.
The big kick, hcre as elsewhere, is prices. They say they are not making any money on the stock they cut. And if they are not, it is the same old lumber trouble all over again. When a man can sell all and more stock than he makes, and still sells it for less than it is worth, there is something very much wrong with his selling.
The long and short of it is that only l0 per cent of the lumber of the Northwest is SOLD. The other 90 per cent is BOUGHT. And lumber that is BOUGHT is always bought cheap, and when so great a proportion of the whole is BOUTGHT and not SOLD, it makes it difficult fo,r the sellers to get much of a price. As the selling increases, and the buying decreases, the lumber industry ol the Northwest will p,rosper. Not before.
During the last week the production of lumber has jumped back to normal up here, after considerable Fourth of July curtailment (the Fourth is the big curtailment pe_ riod of the year in the Northwest, like Christmas is in the
Old South) and orders have taken a fine brace, being considerably in excess of production.
All .the lumber folks up here who sliip to the domestic market are talking about the development of business in the Southwest, and they have all found one thing out for themselves already, which is, that it pays to ship the best of lumber, and no other kind, to the Southwest. I have asked every man who has talked to me on the subject to remember that qrhen they invade Texas and Oklahoma they are invading a lumber territory that has been accustomed to buying and using a better class and grade of lumber for ordinary building purposes than any other part of the entire world; when they ship nbw kinds of lumber to such dealers, they should see to it that it is the right Hnd of stock. They say that lots of harm has already been done by shipping inferior lumber into the Southwest, and tfiese folks tell me, in r€turn for my above-stated advice, to tell the dealers in the Southwest to use good judgment in buying new kinds of lumber, and to do their purchasing from dependable and reliable people who have a reputation to sustain, and in that way they will spare themselves the great grief that often comes with buying ,,just lumber."
f do not find the lumber men up here feeling nearly as badly, nor kicking nearly as much, as I had expected from the reports I have heard, and I am inclined to.believe that there are better things in store for them. However, they MUST get more for their lumber.
I have not reached the shingle flks yet, and haven't heard their tales of woe, but my understanding is tbat while the market is a little better than it has bcen, it is still weak, and they are still making more shingle than the market seems to want.
Marshfield, Ore., July 18.-The first white cedar lath ever to be put on the market will be manufactured soon at the East Side mill of the Coos Bay Lumber Co. A portland Iron Works lath mill is now-being installed. It wiJl turn out about 25.000 lath per day. The white cedar lath will be marketed in California.

says the boss carpenter, "why do builders buy long lengths of bevel siding and cut a lot of_ it into short lengths on the job? Grade for grade, short siiing (Z t"itto 5/2 feet) costs from one-fourth to one-half as much as lengths 3 feet to 16 feet. Most builders and a great many dealers seem to have overlooked this chance for saving and profit.

It is not always fair to endeavor to measure the value of an association by recounting actual deeds performed. No individual would be so unwise as to deny his need for the maintenance of a school svstem merelv because he had no child who needed it; to aik for the elimination of the fire and police departments because he never had a fire and never had needed an officer to make an arrest for him; to advocate the elimination of the courts, lawyers and doctors because he had always been law abiding and was fortunate enough to enjoy good health.
Every man fit to assume the responsibility of citizenship
realizes the chaotic conditlon that would prevail were thc schools to be discontinued, and police and fire protection to be removed. the courts and doctors to discontinue their prdctice, and would be unalterably opposed to any step to' ward that end.
The same principle is true regarding trade associations. They constitute an insurance protcction against evils that are liable to occur. Thev are on the iob when needed and if a certain period existi when they ire fortunate enough to be less active than at others, it is evident that they are functioning effi ciently.
The man who claims he does not need his association is in the same position as the man who cancels his fire insurance 'policy at the end of a year because his house did not happen to burn while insured.

Linder the heading, "Fire-Proof?" Mr. Upson had this to say:
"fs there any material that is fire-proof?
"Is steel fire-proof? Is concrete? Is plaster? If they are-why is it that fire can oftentimes reduce so-called "fire-proof" buildings, constructed of these ,materials, into twisted and cracked masses of ruins?
"There is increasing prejudice everywhere against the promiscuous and misleading use of the term "fire-proof.
"For instance, the Building Construction Committee of the National Fire Protection Association has made the following recommendation :
"To discontinue the use of the term 'Fire-Proof.'
"To quots-'This general term has been erroneously applied to buildings and materials of a more or less fireresistive or incombustible nature.'
"'Its indiscriminate use has produced ,much misunderstanding and has often engendired a feeling .of security entirely unwarranted.'
"Any manufacturer who advertises his product as 'fireproof' without any limitations mtrst answer these two serlous questrons:
"l-fs he not guilty of misrepresentation?
"2-Is he not jeopardizing the lives of thousands of people whg falsely believe that they are secure from fire hazard?
"Are you giving your customers a square deal if you recom_mend any building material as being absolutely 'fireproof?'"

"How may I have such beautiful interior finish in my own home?" was the universal question asked by women visitors at the recent Lumber and Forestrv Exhi5it of the West Coast Lumber Trade Extension Buieau, held in the auditorium of Frederick & Nelson's department store, Seattle. Visitors from twenty-four states and three foreign countries were among the many who attended the exhib'it.
For the first thing which atiracted their attention was the display of large Douglas fir plywood panels, beautifullv hnrshed rn a great variety of colors which would harmonizc with any interior scheme of decoration. These panels hacl been stained by 1 special process, in colors graded fronr the softness- of "oyster" and "driftwood', giays to the richness of forest greens and browns.
Th" great size oJ the panels, lrom 24 by 48 to 4g by 96 inches, also caught the a?tention of spectaiors. They riere surprised to learn that single sheets -of wood of such size may be cut from the large Douglas fir trees.

The present Pickering Lumber Company had its inception in 1894 when W. R. Pickering Lumber Compary was organized by W. R. and W. A. Pickering with an initial capital oI less than $60,000. The first saw mill was located at Pickering, Louisiana. Later other saw mills were built in the South.
In 1905, the Pickering Land & Timber Company was organized by W. R. and W. A. Pickering. It was formed to own and manufacture into lumber a body of timber in Louisiana. Until recently, when it cut out, it operated a saw mill at Cravens. Louisiana.
In 1919, The Pickering Land & Timber Company purchased a billion and a quarter feet of California White Pine tirnber in Northern California. The company added greatly to its holding subsequently. In 192A, the stock of Stardard Lumber. Company, a California corporation, was acquired. It owned about 800 million feet of California White and Sugar Pine timber land in Eastern California, and conducted
large lumber mariufacturing operations at Standard and Sonora, California.
In 1925, the W. R. Pickering Lumber Company purchased the West Side Lumber Company property in California which adjoins the properties of Standard Lumber Company, included in which purchase were upwards of a billion feet of White and Sugar Pine, and a lumber manufacturing plant at Tuolumne, California.
Pickering Lumber Company, recently organized as a Delarvare corporation, has now acquired all the assets of W. R. iPickering Lumber Comrpany 'and those of its subsidiaries, inclucling Standard Lumber Company of Standard and Sonora, California, and all the assets of the Pickering Land & Timber Company. The annual sales of the consolidated company aggregate over $11,000,0@. The single ownership of the Pickering Lumber Company, as now constituted, will represent a self-contained unit from the ownership of raw materials through to the wholesale and retail sales of the finished products.
(Continued on Page 30)
The Pickering Lumber Company owns 428,426 acres of land and 3,938,409,000 feet of timber consisting of upwards of 350,0@,000 feet of Southern Yellow Pine, and 3,500,000,000 feet of California White and Sugar Pine.
The Company's growth of California White and Sugar Pine is of extraordinarily fine quality. It stands in virgin forests at an altitude of 4,500 to 5,500 feet above sea level, which altitudes have been found to produce the maximum degree of fine grain, soft texture and resilient, close fibre.
Indicative of the giant size of individual trees in the Company's holdings of California Sugar Pine, a single tree recently cut produced an entire train load of twelve cars of logs, sixteen feet in length, with a total log scale of 37,000 feet. This wood readily absorbs paint, holding it tenaciously against all weather. It requires fewer coats and less frequent paintings. Finished walls hold smooth and trim, permanently, because end shrinkage is very slight. It is equally admirably adapted to the requirements of mill work manufacture.
The Company's timber holdings a're sufficient to meet its manufacturing requirements for many y,ears to come and are well located for ready accessibility arid in relation to its manufacturing plants.
The Pickering Lumber Company as now constituted has lumber manufacturing plants at Pickering, Louisiana; Haslam, Texas ; Standa,rd, California; Macdoel, California; Tuolumne, California, ahd a sash and door manufacturing plant at Sonora, California. Its combined manufacturing capacityis approximately 1,000,000 feet of lumber a day, and 40O,000 doors a year.
The Company also owns 227 miles of railroad, 900 cars, 33 locomotives, machine shops, terminals, 7 general merchandising stores, 818 dwellings for employees, 6 hotels, also restaurants, hospitals, etc.
The Company's administrative headquarters are located at Kansas City, Missouri, where a modern office building costing approximately $400,000 is now being completed. The building will be used exclusively for the offices of the Company.
In addition to its vast timber holdings and its extensive manufacturing facilities, the company maintains a large distributing organization. Jt has representatives in all principal consuming sections of the country, and operates 51 retail yards in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Businesslike methods in every phase of manufacture, incuding the most modern equipment plus manufacturing skill resulting from many years of experience, are responsible for the high standard of excellence which uniformly presails in the Company's manufactured products.
Pickering manufactured products embrace a wide range of items. From'its California Sugar and White pine come wide finish, pattern stock, mouldings, siding, lath, facing plank and shop lumber, bevel and bungalo\il or lap siding. Pickering doors of standardized design enjoy national dis_
tribution; its sash and mill work have earned an enviable ,reputation.
Pickering Southern Hardwoods are band-sawn and are handled and seasoned with extreme care, the stacks being placed five feet wide with 4o-inch ground clearance; fivefoot air space between stacks, with uniform sticking so that every board lies flat and dries straight. The hardwoods include White or Red Oak, Red or Sap Gum, and other southern species.
From the Company's Southern Pine come a well-rounded assortment of piece stuff, dimension, boards and finish, and the world's finest structural timbers, flooring, siding, ceiling and partition.
The quality of Pickering products is sustained by the character of its timber holdings which comprise only the finest type of trees that grow, by the vigilance of the Company's graders who, in conformity with its long established merchandising standards, adhere to the policy of giving the buyer a high degree of value and by the most modern machinery operated by skilled artisans who take pride in their work. Exhibiting at the California State Fair in
The complete list of officers and directors follows : Chairman of the Board, W. R. Pickering. President, W. A. Pickering.

September, 1925, Pickering Products were awarded the Gold Medal of the California State Agricultural Society in competition with the principal manufacturers of California pine products.
All of the capital stock of Pickering Lumber Company, except directors' qualifying shares, is owned by the same interests who owned the stock of W. R. Pickering Lumber Company and Pickering Land & Timber Company.
The officers and directors of the new company will be the same as in the predecessor companies, except that some of the officers are being added to the directorate. Thus the new company will be directed by the men who have been responsible for its growth from small beginnings to its present 'position of prominence in the lumber manufacturing field.
Mr. W. R. Pickering and Mr. W. A. Pickering, wellknown in lumber circles, who have been connected with the business from its inception, will remain actively in charge-the former as Chdirman of the Board, and the latter as President.
With a capital investment of 12 billion dollars, greater than than of any other manufacturing industr5r, and employing over 700,000 workers in original rnanufactures alone, the forest industries directly and indirectly support nearly a tenth of the nation's population.

HEN this company entered the field of manufacturing Lum' W b.r Carriers, its policy was to provide machines that would meet every condition confronting the lumber operator. In the perfection of the hydraulic lift principle for use in carriers, we believed we had produced the most practical, efficient, trouble-proof and strongest carrier ever made.
The instant popularity of the Gerlinger and the success its users are enjoying with it, is proof enough that we had evolved a carrier far better than had ever been made before.
The Model HI, pictured at the left above, was the 6rst Hydraulic Lift Carrier produced. Yet we found that there were some mills in which condiiions were somewhat unusual, and this brought us to the production of a new Carrier to fit these special needs. The Model HS, Single Hydraulic Lift Canier, shown at ttre right above, is the result.
Reference to the specificatione will show the difference in theee two carriers. They are both Gerlingers-, with all the'guality and troubleproof operation that the name impiles.

THE introduction of the automobile steering - principle in the design of the Villamette Carrier accomplishes three things:
-The front wheels, being offset, can be turned sharply without interference *ith the load of lumber;
-Steering is easier;
-Side slip on tums is largely prevented; These are all points of vital importance in the guick handling of lumber in congested yards. There are more than thirty other points of improved design about the Willamette Carrier that should be looked into before anv carrier investment ie made. Your request for detailed information involves no obligation on your part, of course.

No living human loves a long word that rumbles over the tongue in pronunciation, better than does a colored preacher. Hand him a new, long word to use, give him an idea of what it means and how to use it, and his friends and corrgregation may just as well begin getting ready to hear it often. They're that way. Ask anyone who knows them-
Brother Jackson was the pastor of the First Colored Baptist Church in his town, and on a visit to a neighboring city he met up with the word "phenomenpn," and it made a decided hit \pith him, so he started using it overtime.
The first sennon he preached ,after he got back home was to a crowded church, and he gave them the benefit of his newly acquired long word, using it over and over again during his sermon. He could see that it made a fine hit with the colored folks, and he noted the result every time he fired it at them.
After services were over and they were milling arou,nd in the vestry of the church, an old colored lady made her way
through the crowd to the preacher's side, and adressed him:
"Pahsun, whutevah do you mean by dat wo'd'phenomenon'whut you done use sevrul times enduring of yoush suhmon dis mawnin?"
"Sistuh Jones," said the Parson in feigned surprise, "Ah'm surprised you doan know whut phenomenon means. If you wants Ah'll splanify an' illustrate it fo' yo'."
"Ah wisht you would," said Sister Jones.
"Yassumr" said the parson, "Sposin' you'all comes walkin' along de road, Sistuh Jones, an' you'all sees a cow. Dat ain't no phenomenon. No mam. An' sposin you'all goes furder an' you'all sees a big thistle bush. Dat ain't no phenomenon. No mam. An' sposin you'all goes on an' you'all sees a bird singin'. Dat ain't no phenomenon. No mam. Not none. But, Sistuh Jones, sposin' you'all comes along dat same road an' yo' sees dat satne cow' settin'on dat same thistle, an' singin' like dat same bird-lady, dat's a PHENOMENON.''

The annual picnic of the Albion Lumber Co. was held on June 26, in the beautiful Redwood Grove about a mile souih of the company's Navarro mill, on the north fork of the Navarro Rivel. Nearly 800 attended the picnic, which included the employees and logging crews of the Albion and Navarro mills, tbgether with their families and guests, and representatives from their San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego offices.
At 11:00 A. M., the logging train conveying the crowd from the Albion Mill arrived at the picnic grounds. Many also made the trip from the Albion mill by automobile. The picnic grounds, located in a beautiful stand of second growth redwood with numberless balloons of different colors and other decorations suspended from the tree branches, made an excellent setting for the festivities.
The afternoon was devoted to field and athletic events, the main events on the program being the log sawing contest and the tug-of-war between teams representing the Albion and Navarro Mills. The log sawing contest was won by Dan Kukko, who sawed a log 2 feet and 7 inches in diameter in 4 minutes and 1 second. The tug-of-war was won by the team representing the Navarro Mill.
During the afternoon dancing was enjoyed in the open air pavilion by a large crowd.
Mr. C. F. Flinn, gineral manager of the Albion Lumber Co., and Mrs. Flinn, acted as the host and hostess of the party. Joe Fifer, Oscar Johnson, Miss Bell and rW. Wallace, from the San Francisco office were present. Frank Clough, Los Angeles, the company's Southern representative, and R. Conyers, representative in the San Diego territory, also attended the affair. '
Captain E. A. Selfridge, Jr. of San Francisco, recently appointed United States Lumber Trade Commissioner with head'quarters at Tokyo, Japan, and Axel Oxholm, Director of National Commission on wood utilization, will be the speakers at a special luncheon of the Portland Hoo Hoo Club, August 3.

The several hundred Portland lumbermen and their families who attended the annual picnic July 2l voted it a huge success, and there wasn't a dull moment from the time the golf tournament started at 9 A. M. until the dancing was concluded at 11 P. N{. The Manufacturers' captained by J. E. Cool, Central Coal & Coke Co. beat the Wholesalers' team. Elmer Xanten, hard-working organizer of the picnic, found time to win the lst prize for low net score.
Jack Dionne, publisher of The Gulf Coast Lumberman, was the only speaker on the program. Mr. Dionne, who with his family is paying an extended visit to the Northwest, in a brief address expressed his pleasure in once more having the opportunity to renew old friendships among Portland lumbermen. The three Misses Dionne charmed the crowd with their splendid dancing in the Charleston contest, and with the assistance of their father won all the prizes in this contest, single and double. Two of these young ladies also won the first and second prizes in the bridge game.

With Mrs. Swafford, Hank left Los Angeles on March l4th, going first to New York by rail, and from there they visited Frince, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and the British Isles.
Their wanderings took them by separate automobile trips through the interior of various of these countries, and from his account it was a most wonderful trip.
$ank says that he did as the Romans did, in Italy, eating miies of spaghetti, burning lots of Roman candles and drinking of the multitude of appetizing drinkables that these folk know how to turn out.
He was particularly charmed with rural England.

New York, July l9.-Reports from various lumber ln&nufacturing regions throughout the country reveal great concern over the extensive imDortation of Roumanian lumber importation ofanian through this port. Inquiry reveals that 4,000,000 feet of European spruce and true fir lumber have recently arrived true here from Roumania and here and been sold. Another shipment of 4,000,000 feet is now on the Atlantic.
There is no duty on lumber and this foreign product is being sold in New York City cheaper than iny domestic lumber is offered. While somewhat concerned over the price competition and the intrusion of wood from the other side of the world into this market when much low-grade domestic lumber is unable to find a market on account of the distance of the mills from consumers, with resulting waste of forest material, lumbermen are used to seeing foreign lumber in this market after twelve years of free tiade.
It is not that lumber is coming from such an unexpected
source as Roumania that gives concern, but the use it is being put to. The spruce and fir lumber'of Roumania is in common use in the Levant, the Mediterranean countries, and is not unknown in western Europe, but it is never used in those regions for permanent building, but rather for temporary structures and such industrial uses as box manufacturing. It is a lumber that is inferior physicially and mechanically to'all species of American lumber used in housebuilding and it deteriorates rapidly when exposed to wear and weather. It is excellent lumber for the uses it is commonly put to in Europe. It is well-manufactured, thoroughly seasoned, and has a good appearance.
So far, all the Roumanian lumber that has arrived in New York has gone into building, mostly frame dwellings. American lumbermen fear that this use'will reflect on iheir product and on frame construction generally, as they predict that occupants and ow4ers of houses in which this lumber, well adapted to other purposes, is used will meet with much disappointment within a few years.

In June the National Association of Real Estate Boards met in annual convention at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and home building came in for discussion during a large part of their business program. The lumber dealers will be intensely interested in some of the things. advocated at that meeting, and at some of the suggestions offered for cutting the cost of home building.
The proposition of having home building real estate firms own their own lumber yards was stoutly advocated, it being declared that by so doing the cost of their lumber supplies will be reduced 25 per cent. Here was one of the statements made in that direction:
"If a builder has his own lumber yard, he may know that his framing lumber is at least four months air-dried. It is lumber cut only two weeks which induces lots of plaster cracks. Here arc some of the economies of a, large scale home building plant:
"If he is operating his own planing mill, the builder may bring $18 lumber up to $80 lumber at no expense in grade through cutting out knots, and utilizing the high grade material between them. He may take a 1x6x16 No. 2 board that
has several knots scattered at intervals of two to four feet, and by picking sound places convert it into stock for cabinet head trim and, with windows from 16 to 36 inches in width and doors from 18 inches to 36 in,ches in width, ihto almost every size between these figures. Or he may take a stick of lumber marred by three or four knots, and run it into rabbited door jambs, obtaining perhaps, one side for a 6 foot 8 inch door, and two headers-probably one for each of two different width doors.
"He may buy low-grade oak boards, surface them, and cut a large percentage of the material into high grade paneling stock of varying lengths. He may buy mill-run dimension and find much material for sub-sills for windows, where it is important to have timber that will last.
"And all the time a 30,000 foot stock ol2x6 rough lumber to be run into six-inch base, or casings, or car sidings, or into ordinary square-inch trim, would represent for hirn'a 30,000 foot stock of each of these individual items. Thus he would keep down overhead."
We quote these remarks from a verbatim report of the meeting, so that the r.etailer may understand what a simple
business his is, from the vielvpoint of the man on the outside looking in. All he has to do is stock general large items, of low grade, and cut them up to suit the needs of the customer, or of the building. What a simple thing this retail lumber business is when one really understands it, isn't it? It becomes painfully evident that what we need in the lumber business is more real estate men.
When we read this stuff we were reminded of a man we used to know in the retail lumber business. He had more ingenious schemes for taking common lumber and cutting, working, piecing, etc., and making it into those things for rvhich high grade lumber was ordinarily used, than any one man we ever knew. Of course, Whenever you checked it up you found that the cost of cutting and working, added to the waste, made the completed job more costly than the original method of just using the high grade stock to begin with. This fact never bothered the man we used to know. He kept right on trying. He went broke running his own 1 yard, and couldn't hold a job running other people's yards, but his theories were interesting just the, same. : But there were still further suggestions made by these good real estate conventionists. One of them said: , "If you are in position to set up your own lumber yard, 'your own planing mill, your own rock quarry and gyratory rock crusher, you may practice economies that will enable 'you to build a five room brick veneer hqlse, with bath and ,breakfast room in addition, for $5,000. And you will be ; able to give it concrete front and rear porches, hardwood ;floors; cedar-lined mirror-door closets, brick or stone I mantle, built-in bath tub and the rest."
Possibly so. We won't debate it. But what business has a man with enough money to own those things; fooling around building five room bargain price homes ? If you've lgot enough money to own a lumber yard, and a planing rmill, and a rock quarry, you wouldn't want such incumbrances. And if yqu DID have them, you ,would be too rbusy running them to have time for any of{eh business. I These notions sound good to the,outsider, but they won't iwork, because thev aren't pracfical. It's beeh tried hunidreds of times. You can't afford a lumbeq yard and planing mill and milh'ork plant, just to cut up stock for your owir lbuilding business, unless you have a business of prodigious ;size. Otherwise you must operate a retail lumber'business las well as your own business, and the man who operates a ;retail lumber business {inds it necessary to concentrate on what he is doing, if he is to survive.
And thousands of practical and keen minded men in the United States can testify to the fact that running a retail ilumber yard and millwork plant in conjunction is a game that requires every faculty of the operator, and should never tbe attempted by anyone as a side-line, because if you do, the side-line will eat you up.
The statement that if you have 30,000 feet of a certain item, you have in fact that many feet of the various items you need in your business, is a sad joke. You have your :investment in that full amount all the time. You must rhave men ready all the time to cut it up for your needs. rYou have to insure and protect if. You have your waste to :consider.' And when it's all figured up, it will be cheaper and safer to phone the lumber dealer to send it out as needed, and get his rightful profit. It will pay both of you.

Yes, I really did believe it And with dhe respect receive it, Though I'd heard the same old legend o'er and o'er; How when he was shorn and shaven Up to Sampson stepped Poe's-Raven, Croaking, t'You, sir, will be husky,q-Nevermore."
'Twas quite easy to acept it And I truly did expect it, .tr To maintain its pristine place and fame, you see' But the women bobbed and shaven Wrecked my strong faith's quiet haven, They have made a carping infidel of me.
And I now have learned to doubt it And with skepticism flout it. Who says Samson's strength was in his hair? That was just a wild contention Raised to bind us with convention, And I'm going to tell the world "it wasn't fair."

For the flocks of bobbed haired ladiesRuths and Genevieves and Sadies, Are if anything much stronger than they were; So I'm thinking about other Stories which I learned from Mother, And my doubting soul is whispering-"beware."
Now I'm analyzing Adam Wondering if perchance he had 'em, When he claimed that Eve was carved from out his side. Oh, these wild doubts do assail me, And with sharp goads lash and flail me, Till beneath some stable creed I long to hide.
But the cause of my affliction And my evil predilection, Can be traced to this experience, you'll agree; To my loss of faith in SamsonStrong, majestic, virile, handsome, Oh, bobbed women made an infidel of me.

One of the first cases to be met under the state law prohibiting the throwing of matches and burning tobacco frorn moving vehicles has just been completed in Siskiyou County. Constable Henry Snider apprehended four men riding in a car from which a cigarette had been cast which resulted in the starting of a forest fire.
Sometimes the Club that is not blessed with a gang to run it is in hard luck. Most of the gangs who have run clubs would be glad to have the others join them in their efforts to rnake the club a success. The gang is usually the workers.
Isn't it the truth ? If a member takes the work sincerely and loves its teachings to qhe extent of becoming active, a teader if you please, why then he unconsciously becomes a part of the gang. Wouldn't it be just wonderful if every member of Hoo-Hoo was a living active gangster?
