How Lumber Looks

Lumber production during the week ended August 17, 194O, was 2 per cent less than in the previous week; shipments were 5 per cent greater; new business 7 per cent greater, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations covering the operations of representative hardwood and soitwood mills.

During the week ended August 17, 498 mills produced 2ffi,39O,@O feet of softwoods and hardwood combined; shipped 265,963,ffi0 feet, and booked orde{s of 319,401,000 feet. Revised figures for the previous week were: mills 512; production 27I,547,WO feet; shipments 254,332,6O feet; orders 297,ffi8,00o f.eet.

Lumber orders reported for the u'eek of August 17 by 416 softwood mills totaled 307,051,000 feet; shipments were 255,625,000 feet; and production 258,791,@O feet.

Reports from 95 hardwood mills for the same week gave new business as 12,350,000 feet, shipments 10,338,000 feet, and production 7,599,000 feet.

Seattle, Washington, August 12, lgn.-The rveekly average of West Coast lumber production in July (5 weeks) was 126,712,Un board feet, or 64.3 per cent of the weekly average for I926-79n, the industry's years of highest production, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 162,298,00O board feet ; sh ipm ents, 136,925,000. Weekly averages for June were: production, 141,477,W board feet (71.8 per cent of the 1926-l9D average); orders, 132,705,00o ; shipments, 145,730,000.

Orders for 31 we€ks of 194O break down as follows: rail, 1,954,384,000 board feet; domestic cargo, 1,539,99O,000; ex' port, 257,1@,00O; local, 537,932,WO.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 509,829,000 board feet at the end of July; gross stocks, at 900,000,000.

There was a strengthening of lumber demand during July, due principally to requirements of the national defense progr.am. West Coast lumber has shared in this demand, along with the woods of other regions of the national industry.

A secondary influence has been the awakening of the retail yard tride to the fact that the Government will require large quantities of lumber, making it advisable for dealers to lay in stocks to supply regular local demand. A considerable volume of advance buying for fall trade has anticipated the usual period by several weeks.

Another factor of July lumber strength has been in the l'esponse of timber-using industries, particularly the railroads, to national defense needs, in mobilizing their facilities for the program.

Fortified from these three main sources' all markets for West Coast lumber improved in July, except export which remained at the low level of the first six months of.194O.

The current use of lumber in ordinary building retains its momentum but residential building permits lagged in June as compared with both May of this year and June, 1939,

-Owen Meredith's "Lucille." {ct*

I recalled the above verse the other day when a friend mailed me the bill-of-fare he picked up in a small cafe along the Coast highway in California. It was evidently a cafe for men of large appetite, as evidenced by the following item that caught my attention very promptly: "Hay Bailer's Breakfast. 6 eggs, any style. Two big slices of ham. Two slugs of French fried potatoes. 6 slices toast. All the coffee you can drink. Price, 85 cents." And across the bottom is printed this priceless query: "Is there a man in the house?" I'd say there would need to be, to handle that breakfast. ***

I seldom find myself subscribing very enthusiastically to the opinions of an Eastern gent named Roger W. Babson, but he uttered one in a speech the other day that got my full-fledged indorsement. He was talking about business and politicg, and he said: "What this country needs is to cut out bad habits, settle down to work, go to bed early at night, and take a good dose of salts."

**rl.

I have always loved the old story of the good Indian who had pleased the Spirits of the Red Men so much that one of them appeared to him and told him he could have three wishes, and whatever he wished for he would get. So he pointed to the ocean and said-"All whiskey." "You get it," said the Spirit. Then the Indian pointed to a great mountain. "All tobacco," he said. "You get it. And now, you have one more wish," said the Spirit. The Indian scratched his head for a while. "Oh, well," he said, "little more whiskey."

And I would add to the prescription of Mr. Babson, a few more doses of salts. If ever there was a disordered stomach on this earth, this nation has it. ***

The San Francisco Chronicle ran a smart little editorial the other day about Jim Farley, recently the Big Shot in the Democratic Councils, who returned to private life after being slugged, gassed, stabbed, and brass-knuckled by his own gang. The editorial says: "As for Mr. Farley, 'Good Old Pal Jim,' he retires to take over another build-up. He will operate the New York Yankees. THEY USED TO BE CHAMPIONS, TOO.''***

John R. McCarl died the other day. Too little notice was given to that important event. For fifteen years he was Comptroller General of the United States. It was a unique office. He served for a 15-year-term. He was re. sponsible only to Congress. Nobody could fire him, so he could fill his difficult job without fear of political fury. And he DID. It was his job to see that the money belonging to this Government was spent LEGALLY; that it be not diverted for anything, by anybody. He stood like a giant rock for economy in government, for balanced budgets and accounts, for honor and fidelity in all the affairs of government in its responsibility to the people of this nation. He was for work and opposed to waste in all things. He did not belong to this generation. The other day the New Deal convention never even mentioned the word "budget." No wonder McCarl died.

Someone asked " ,r"r,u*n..l"tiln tt " other day. He was talking about the necessity for the American people replacing the pitifully weak Houses of Congress of the past decade with men of power, patriotism, and courage, and he asked this potent question: "Do you think any man would send 'must' laws up Capitol Hill for passage if there were men like Clay, Webster, and Calhoun occupying those desks?" Definitely not. A weak Congress makes a muddled nation.

I've heard of lots of queer antics in the activities of the National Labor Relations Board, but one of their orders issued against an employer in South Carolina hits a high (Continued on Page 8.)

(Continued from Page 6) spot. The Board ruled tfiat this employer had utilized a preacher as "a convenient instrument of interference, restraint, and coercion," by using him to conduct an active religious campaign against C.I.O. unionists. It is related that this clerygman preached a serrnon on C.I.O. and alleged that it means "Christ Is Out." And the Board held the employer responsible. ***

One of the most notable cases involving a lumber concern and the NLRB is that of the Carlisle Lumber Company, of the State of Washington. Ordered by the Board to pay 148 employes $150,000 back pay, the Compafiy plead that such payment would eat up all its possessions and put it out of business. A special master was appointed by the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco to investigate the situation, and he recently reported to the Court that in his opinion the lumber company COULD pay the whole thing in five years without going out of business, if carefully managed. The master rejected the company's offer to pay 4O% in cash in the shape of six-year notes, and the other 60/o in negotiable scrip for logged-off lands. The master submitted a formula for having the whole thing paid in cash in the next five years, and keep the business going. What the company will do about the decision is not yet known. They must either comply with the decision or go out of business and let the assets be liquidated in favor of the employes.

An interesting highlight of this strange thing that has happened to a once important lumber manufacturer and large employer of labor, is the opinion of the special master that $15O,000 could be paid by operating for the next five years. Certainly such an opinion must be based upon a belief that there will be profit-making opportunity in the lumber business in Washington for the next five years, greater than those of the past five. With the exception of 1937 the past five years have been nightmare years for the Northwest mill men. Only a decided and continued upswing of business would enable this mill to make so siz-

able a pro6t. Let us hope that the ability of this court investigator to prognosticate is upheld by developments, and that all the lumber manufacturers of the Northwest are enabled to make such a return on their investment and efforts in the next five years. Surely the sawmill business in that great territory for the past fifteen years has been just one continuous series of business heart-breaks. Wouldn't the banks of the Pacific Northwest rejoice if they thought the lumber business for the next five years would be that good? Because the banks of the Northwest have been in the lumber business for years past, plumb up to the tops of the smokestacks.

Right now it would reguire no great fund of optimism to make a fellow feel that perhaps this prognosticator was right about lumber prospects. As this is written the best softwood lumber market in twenty years prevails all over this nation. It was caused and created by the rush of Government orders for countless defense propositions, all the way frorir the Panama Canal to Alaska. So far as the particular items of lumber called for in the specifications are concerned, they cleaned the.country right quick. Naturally, domestic buyers caught the drift of things and decided maybe they'd better not wait too long, and they began sending in plenty of orders. Result, Douglas Fir and Yellow Pin+dry<ver-sold everywhere, and a very excited market situation.

What the immediate fr]tuie rlu, or, still remains to be seen. No one can say what the total needs of Government will be this fall, or what the domestic market will demand. That there will be a very strong and active dernand for dry softwoods throughout the nation for the next several months, is something in the nature of a cinch. Further than that it would be unwise to predict. I can easily imagine conditions that would cause a powerful and continued demand for lumber for the next two or three years. It will take that long for the defense program to get well organized. And if private enterprise ever gets going again there will be a strong and lasting lumber demand. Right now there is a slackening in the demand for homes for young folks. Naturally a boy who may be in the army in thirty days, is not going to sign notes to make payments on a home. But on the other hand the defense campaign will directly bring about the creation of new housing that will likely more than atone for this youthful withdrawal. Tremi:ndous housing efforts will soon be made to care for employes in huge defense units scattered all over the land. They.are inevitable. And, in six months time, there will be a scattering of present fogs in the economic situatioru and we will be able to judge. We will probably know by Christmas what to expect for the next year I and the next, also. And from now until Christmas I predict that the lumber manufacturing business will be very good.

UntimelyDeath of Albe* '!(/. Koehl Over Half Billion Feet ol Lumber Required

Albert W. Koehl, of Los Angeles, died Friday, August 16, in a hospital in Los Angeles, after several rveeks'illness. IIe was born in Chicago 47 years ago. He was buried Tuesday, August 20, in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, after services in the Wee Kirk o'the Heather. The funeral was in charge of the Knights Templars, of which he was an honored member, and was attended by a large gatheri,ng of sorrowing lumber and millwork men. Ife was a Shriner. a Knight Templar, a member of the Sherifi's aero squadron, and a member of the Wilshire Country Club. He is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Tohn W. Koehl.

Al Koehl, as he was popularly called, was President of the firm of John W. Koehl & Son, operators of a very old and continuously successful millwork plant and business in Los Angeles. The elder Koehl started the business in L9tl2, and the younger man became associated with him from the start. Many years ago he took over the reins of management from his father, and the business co.ntinued to prosper under his very able management. About ten years ago his father retired from active participation in the operation of the business, leaving the job to the very capable son; a job that an u,ntimely death has now put an end to.

Al Koehl enjoyed the afiection and respect of the entire lumber and mill'rvork industry of Southern California. He lt'as a fine gentleman, and a first-class business man. One of his outstanding accomplishments was the creation of an original system for figuring door and miihvork prices which first appeared in 7925, a.nd came to be a dependable piece of equipment of the California millwork industry. Mr. Koehl was an enthusiastic swimmer, golfer, and in the last few years a devotee of flying, owning and operating his own plane.

The millwork industry mourns one of its finest members.

lor Delense Construction Already Under W.y

Washington, August n, lg40-Approximately 650,00O,000 feet of lumber will be required by the Army and Navy in troop housing and related projects on which construction either has already been started or for which plans are complete, according to an a,nnouncement today by John W. Watzek, Jr., in charge of the lumber section of the National Defense Advisory Commission's Industrial Materials Division, of which Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., is head.

Mr. Watzek presented the figures covering Army and Navy requirements to the Executive Committee of the National Lumbe,r Manufacturers Association at a meeting this afternoon. He explained that current lumber production in both soft and hard woods is on a basis of approximately 28,C00,000,000 feet per year which is roughly 75% of present industry capacity.

Of present requirements, approximately 257,5ffi,000 feet of lumber, 75,000 doors and 195,000 rvindows have been authorized for troop housing by the War Department. A large part of this material has already been purchased and it is estimated that orders for the balance n'ill have been placed by September 15.

The lumber to be used for this troop housing consists of 37To sheathing, IO% siding, 15/o flooring and wainscoting, and 38/o dimension and framing.

This material is for use at various points throughout the country, and includes the following Califiornia projects: Camp Ord, 18,50O,000 feet; Stockton, 2,4m,W feet; and Camp McQuaide, 1,500,00O feet.

Navy estimates cover approximately 395,000,000 feet at various projects among which is listed San Diego, San Francisco and San Pedro.

Part of National Forest Income Goes Caf ifornia Panel and Y eneer Company To Counties Radecorates Offices

Receipts from income of the 18 national forests in the California Region totaled $627,936 net for the past fiscal year ending June 30, the United States Forest Service reported in its financial statement today.

Regional Forester S. B. Show declared that 25 per cent of this amount would be allotted by the U. S. Treasurer to the States of California and Nevada for distribution to county school and road funds. Counties containing national forest lands will receive amounts proportionate to their yield of revenue from national forest products and special uses.

An additional 10 per cent, said Regional Forester Show, will be apportioned to the national forests within those counties for the development and maintenance of forest roads and trails.

Nearly half of the 19CI fiscal year receipts came from timber sales. Grazing of cattle and sheep on the national forests of California yielded almost $150,000 and miscellaneous special use permits, rental of summer home lots and water power brought in over $180,000.

The Plumas National Forest with headquarters at Quincy, Calif., show,ed the greatesf 1s'vsnus-net receipts of $105,630. Timber sales alone contributed $m,800.

Receipts of other national forests in the California Region were: Angeles National Forest with headquarters in Los Angeles, $26,345; Cleveland National Forest, San Diego, $7,7@; Eldorado National Forest, Placerville, $43,573; lnyo National Forest, Bishop, $17,3U; Klamath National Forest, Yreka, $14,732; Lassen National Forest, Susanville, $86,155; Los Padres National Forest, Santa Barbara, $12,75I; Mendocino National Forest, Willows, $3,986; Modoc National Forest, Altura, $79,26; San Bernardino National Forest, San Bernardino, $38,290; Sequoia National Forest, Porterville, $34,917; Shasta National Forest, Mt. Shasta, $18,880; Sierra National Forest, Northfork, $44,100; Stanislaus National Forest, Sonora, $38,534; Tahoe Natio,nal Forest, Nevada City, $19,300; Trinity National Forest, lVeaverville, $8,614, and Mono National Forest with headquarters at Reno, Nevada, $27,768.

California Panel & Veneer Company recently redecorated their offices at 955-967 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles, using for the walls and ceilings Gold Bond Insulation Boards, for which they are wholesale distributors.

In the general ofifice Gold Bond low density acoustical board was used on the ceiling and Gold Bond plank on the walls.

Low density Gold Bond acoustical board was also applied on the ceilings of the private offices and various types of tile on the walls.

The office of R. Mulholland, manager, has American Black Walnut wainscoting, and lolv density cream colored tile on both walls and ceiling.

Vice-president Geo. R. Stratemeyer's omce has Mahogany ll'ainscoting with cream texture tile on the walls.

In the office of W. F. (Bill) Fahs, secretary-treasurer, effective use of variegated blends of texture surface Gold Bond tile has been made on the walls. Wainscoting is quartered white Oak.

The reduction of noise in these offices through the use of the low density acoustical tile is very noticeable, and the installation of the difierent types of insulation boards makes it possible to demonstrate to customers the actual use of these materials.

Remembering Names

BY JACK DIONNE

One of the most priceless cttributes of c successlul sclesmcn is the cbility to remember the ncunes of the people he meets. There is nothing much the cvercge mcn-or womcrn-likes better or crpprecictes more, thcn to have the other fellow ccll his n<rme the moment they meet.

With some men the cbility to remember ncmes is c gilt; with others it is the result of interuilied study cnd eflort,'crnd with still others it is both. The crvercrge mcm tckes whctever llcir ncrture or providence ltcve him lor remembering ncmes correctly, crnd cdds to it some method or plcn lor tying the right nqmes to the right lcces.

Once I strw cr m- rise in c meeting mcrde up ol men lrom every state in the union, cnd ccrll the ncme -d residence ol every mcn" dter they hcrd lirst qnswered roll ccll, giving their names crnd home cities.

Some men, who speci<rlize in never forgetting <r nqme, refuse to qdmit it when they crre stumped. I once scw cr delighilul demonstrction of thcrt sort, given by cr lumber iournclist ol the old school, who hcd c grect repuiction lor remembering ncmes. He wcs Bolling Arthur Johnson" ol Chiccgo. He knew ctn crtxny of men cll over the nction, cnd he never crdmitted that he couldn't reccll cr ncrme.

About thirty yecrrs cgo Bolling Arthur cmd myself were wcrlking down street in c Southern city, when we met cr big, smiling, bcss-voiced mcn.

Attention Drawn to Special Features of Eubank lroning Boards

The attention of dealers is drawn to the special features of Eubank Ironing Boards in a full page advertisement in this issue.

All are swivel boards, using the Eubank patented swivel bracket which gives them added strength. The cast iron swivel is so constructed that the brace slides in the swivel bracket, eliminating the usual construction of the brace sliding i,n grooves in the wood, which soon scores the wood and does not work freely.

The swivel assembly is in two pieces only, so that there is nothing that can get out of order.

There are no projecting parts, wires, cotter keys or trunions on Eubank ironing boards to catch or tear the most delicate fabrics.

JACK FERGER ON EASTERN TRIP

. J. C. Ferger, veteran lumber dealer of Fresno, has gone East for a long vacation. Accompanied by Mrs. Ferger he left September 24 for stops in Chicago, Washington, and Nerv York, and will return late in October via the Southern route, visiting Chattanopga, Tennessee, and New Orleans. La.

All boards are well manufactured of thoroughly seasoned quality lumber, built up of two or more pieces, making a board that will not warp or split. They have a metal and asbestos iron pad on the large end on which the iron can be slipped without picking it up.

These boards are sold through dealers only and are made by L. H. Eubank & Son, Inc., manufacturers of cabinets and millwork, whose factory is at 1O1O East Hyde Park Boulevard, Inglewood, Calif.

Lee H. Eubank is president of the company. Donald St. Clair is vice-president, and George D. Eubank is secretarytreasuref.

It is interesting to note that this firm won a recent suit in Federal Court which affirms the validity of their U. S. Patent No.2174363.

FRANK YOCHEM VISITS WEST

COAST

Frank N. Yochem, known in the lumber trade of Texas for the past thirty years as "Yokie," was a recent Pacific Coast visitor. He is a lumber and shingle commission man at San Antonio, Texas, selling West Coast materials. He visited Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Pacific Northwest in a two weeks' trip.

This guy Paul Hill, whom I have known rather well for a whale of a lot of'years both on and off the lumber stage, has been telling me about what wonders they have wrought in modernizing and improving the lumber yard he has been running ever since Adam was a pup on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. So finally I went out there .the other day, and Bill Black and his camera went along. \Me went to see how near the truth Paul came in his modernization claims, fully prepared to make a liberal discount for his personal enthusiasm. And this is the story of what we saw there.

Paul Hill is a member of the firm of Lounsberry & Harris. Walter lfarris and George Lou.nsberry started in the retail lumber business in Los Angeles in 1905, coming from Colorado where their folks before them were lumber people. In 1906 Paul Hill joined the outfit and has been with them ever since. When they started the yard on Santa Monica Boulevard he took charge of it. And constantly from that time that yard has changed, grown, developed, and modernized to keep up with the times. I've visited it many, many times during the past twenty years. But this last visit, just the other day, was a revelation, for right there, on the same piece of ground on which it stood when it was a comparatively small business enterprise, is one of the very finest retail lumber plants in the entire state of California, and doing a volume of business that few can surpass.

What did they do, and how did they do it? How did they increase the storage capacity of that plot of ground on which their yard stands about three hundred per cent? And just how do they do business, and what do they sell? To answer those three questions is the job of, this story.

Two years ago the business of ihis yard had grown until physically it was in the position of the overgrown boy trying to wear his younger brother's suit. Something had to be done about it. They had to carry a lot more stock, and they had to do it efficiently. So they went out and bought an innocent enough looking piece of machinery on wheels that the Ross Carrier Company had contrived, that they call a "Hoister." A "Hoister," as shown in these pictures, is not a very large but very powerfully constructed little truck with a steel derrick on the front that slides up and down, but can take a whale of a load of lumber with it as it slides. They brought this new machine i,nto the yard and

started piling their lumber high and in truck-load units. It picks up the entire load a truck lays down, runs over to any part of the yard desired, and shoves it up as high as sixteen feet, and leaves it there. The cost is minimum. It can be taken d,own or moved somewhere else just as quickly.

Changes were made in the plant immediately to fit this Hoister set-up. They took all their low-roofed rough lumber storage sheds and put stilts under them, shoved the roofs high in the air, and removed the sides, so that the Hoister can run right in. And they began piling their lumber in these sheds in Hoister units, sixteen feet high. A shed that never had been able to hold more than 200,000 feet of lumber piled old style, now holds 750,00O feet. They did the same with all their sheds of this character, and soon {ound that they were carrying in stock fully three times as much lumber as they had been able to carry previously. And it is most economically done. The Hoister can move a truck load of lumber from one spot to another in that yard for only a very small part of' what it costs by hand, and in practically no time at all.

Paul Hill says that the rearranging and moder,nizing of the yard was practically built on this Hoister as a foundation. They had previously installed and still use a traveling overhead crane which unloads the lumber from trucks as it arrives from the harbor. The crane lifts the load from the truck and sets it down off the ru.nway. Along comes the Hoister and takes it anywhere in the yard or shed desired. Everywhere it is piled high by the Hoister; and when any of the units are wanted the Hoister gets them out quickly and efficiently and delivers them anywhere on the yard desired. A Ross Carrier which they have had for :many years, does the general lumber handling around the yard, working ,perfectly in combination with the Ross ,Hoister.

So much for the handling and piling of lumber in the yard and rough storage sheds. Now about the other equipment of the plant. The modern office is a beautiful job. It -is built of concrete, with concrete floors. There are three private offices, all of them finished in detailed Redwood, and each finished differently. The rear of the big general office is walled with Weyerhaeuser I(notty Pine, and the

front portion with knotty Red Cedar panels, a product of U. S. Plywood. Many other attractive rvoods are used in the counters and other parts of the exterior. The entire office is wonderfully insulated, and is quite cool and soundproof.

The mechanical departments of the yard consist of a planing mill of modern equipment; and a small re-manufacturi'ng plant set off in one corner of the yard that performs some very interesting services. In the planer they perform the usual services of dressing, matching, and otherwise machining their dry lumber for market. In the smaller plant they take the edgings, trimmings, and waste from the planer, and convert it into salable wooden items of various sorts. For example they manufacture a large number of bed slats which they sell to furniture factories; they make fence pickets for their own trade; make small stakes; they build-up and glue-up small stuff and big stuff both, making all their own extra wide boards by gluing. The re-manufacturing plant is a unit Paul Hill is very proud of, because it makes valuable wooden things out of small pieces of wood that would otherwise be entirely wasted.

This entire yard carries a great stock of the three woods that the Los Angeles trade buys, Fir, Redwood, and Ponderosa, carrying a large stock of all items the trade desires. It also carries large stocks of treated lumber, Wolmanized, Chromated Zinc Chloride treated, and also Creosoted. You will find large quantities of all these stocks piled high on the yard. One of their big specialties is Weyerhaeuser 4-square boards, end-marked. Paul Hill says that they have a considerable trade that will accept nothing else in the line of boards but these flat, straight, bright-end boards, so they carry a very large stock under cover. Their stock of mouldings is tremendous, there being ah'r'ays available in well arranged bins every item of moulding used by the Los Angeles trade, in Redwood, Fir, and Pine. All items of Redwood, Pine, and Fir Finish are carried in large quantities; likervise panels of many kinds, and door and r,r'indow stock.

They have o,ne entire shed devoted to the storage of dry Redwood. They have one entire special warehouse for Fir plywood; and this is their fastest growing stock. This warehouse carries a varied stock of panels that would do justice to a wholesale depot. They now sell about twenty cars of Fir plywood a year. In another display and storage

shed close to the street where people can drop in to look, they carrv their stock of soft and hardwood panels, and in front of each bin is a finished sample of the contents, which makes a splendid and attractive display. Right on the street they carry and display a select line of builders'hardware,'and a stock of Murphy paints. One of the front warehouses contains a varied supply of plaster lath, plaster board, cement, and a full line of Fry roofings. Likewise there is a rvell selected stock of Oak, Gutn, and Philippine lumber. Wooden shingles and lath are stocked in big volume.

Right now Mr. Hill is planning a new and attractive feature, that will be built in the front of the yard close to the office. It will be a new display shed in which they i,vill display and sell "specials" from all parts of the yard. It will be a sort of shopping place where the trade can drop in and take a look at joblots of building materials at special prices. Odds and ends will be disposed of in this modern way.

Altogether, one of the swellest retail lumber operations I ever sarv, modern, effrcient, economical, a veritable service station for builders and bu1,s15 of building materials. The personal popularity of Paul Hill is one of the great assets of the business, and he is surrounded by a courteous, smiling, go-getter organization that keeps the big job humming all the time. Yes, Sir, a grand outfit.

Port Orford Cedar Resists Action o[

A. H. Fleming, Philanthropist and Lumberman, Dies at Pasadena Home Delta Land Peat Soil

Nature still "gets the decision" in the battle of men against nature, but men continue to find aids in delaying the decision. It is surprising what aids have been rendered by some types of wood.

The public utilities in carrying their pole lines across the great delta lands of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers in Central California have had one of these tough battles against nature. These peat lands in the Delta apparently have no bottom for a firm foundation. The organic matter in the peat seems to destroy quickly most wood. Ordinary construction lumber goes to pieces in from two to five years.

The illustration shows a pole support that has been developed, called a mud sill. This is an "outrigger," built around the pole and resting on the peat soil. These mud sills, made from Port Orford Cedar heartwood, are lasting about 25 years.

Public utility engineers say that Port Orford Cedar has been found to be the only material to solve this problem; that the soil is too spongy for concrete, and that this splendid but not very widely known Pacific Coast wood offers

Arthur H. Fleming, one of the largest lumber operators of the Old West and philanthropist, died at his home in Pasadena, August 11. He was 84 years of age.

He was born in Ontario, Canada, in 1856, and came to the United States when he was 23 years old, becoming a citizen soon afterward. He entered the lumber business in 1896 and became president or principal owner of the Madera Sugar Pine Co., the Madera Lumber Company, the Minarets and Western Railway Company, the St. Anthony Mining Co. and Santa Monica Mountain Park Co. He was also a director of the Southern California Edison Company.

With his daughter, Mrs. Wilton Lloyd-Smith, he contributed more than $5,000,mO to the California Institute of Technology in the name of the Clara H. Fleming Memorial Fund. which was established in honor o{ Mrs. Fleming, who died in 1904.

Mr. Fleming was a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France, bestowed in 1927 for his donation of a park and pavilion at Compeigne where the World War armistice was signed. He also received the Arthur Noble Civic Award of Pasadena in 1932 for outstanding community service.

Lumb ermen Orga nize lndustry -Wld e Delense Committee r r r Select Five-Man Executive Group

Washington, August 2O,-Representatives of nearly fifty organizations of manufacturers and distributors of lumber and timber products meeting here today organized a Lumber and Timber Products Defense Committee representing the entire industry and selected a five-man Executive Committee to facilitate efficient procurement of lumber and forest products needed by the Government for defense purposes.

The organizing meeting was called by M. L. Fleishel, President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, at the request of the National Defense Commission.

Three lumber manufacturers' one representative of the wholesale distributors, and one representative of the lumber products groups were appointed to the Executive Committee. They were: M. L. Fleishel, National Lumber Manufacturers Association; Walter J. Neils, Western Pine Association; Corydon Wagner, West Coast Lumbermens Association; Harry Steidle, Douglas Fir Plywood Association, for the manufacturers of lumber and timber products; J. A. Currey of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, for the wholesale distributors. This committee will act in a liaison capacity between the Timber Products Committee on National Defense and the Defense Advisory Commission.

At the request of the Executive Committee, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association will for the present act as the agency of the Lumber and Timber Products Industries to keep continuous contact with the Defense Commission and the defense agencies, and to keep the General Committee advised of developments.

Principal staff members of the Lumber Division of the Defense Commission participated in the meeting. Edward R. Stettinius, member of the Commission and head of the Industrial Materials Division of the Advisory Defense Commission, addressed the lumbermen, outlining the progress of the Defense Com,mission to date and the type of industry coopenation hoped for by the Government. He spoke earnestly and was warmly applauded.

John W. Watzek, Jr., Chief of the Lumber & Forest Products Division of the Defense Commission, presented the record of lumber consumption.by the Government during the World War and listed three suggested functions

for the new Lumber Defense Committee. Mr. Watzek stated that he believed the most important work to be done by this committee would be: (1) To present a united lumber front in dealing with agencies requiring material in large quantities for defense purposes ; (2) To furnish accurate information on stocks; and (3) To transmit to the industry information on potential demand. He also stated that the Defense Commission viewed the establishment of the industry committee as insurance against future emergencies; and that the committee was not being organized because of any present difficulty in lumber procurement but rather as part of a general preparedness program.

New Construction Principles for Homes M. D. Grow Appointed Sales Promotion

Described in Bookfet

Washington, August 25.-"Plank-and-Beam and Roof System for Residential Construction," a lGpage booklet describing the advantages of this system and its adaptation to residential construction, has just been published by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

This method of design, long,used in factory structures but relatively new in residential building, has been a subject of study by the Technical Department of the N.L.M.A. since 1937. During this period several homes incorporating the system, including one at the New York World's Fair, were built as tests.

One demonstration house at Fairway Hills, Maryland, showed that the plank floor in comparison with a joisted floor was 24.8% more efficient from the standpoint of insulation, and required 26.3% less labor tinle; 13.67o less labor time per thousand board feet of lumber1, 14.7% less lumber per square foot of floor area, and 22.6% less expenditure per square foot of floor area.

A more complete study, including data from all the "test" houses, revealed that the use of plank-and-beam floor and roof construction: (1) reduces the number of pieces the carpenter must ha.ndle, saw, align and nail; (2) reduces the number of points at which the floor must be nailed to the supporting beams; (3) reduces the lumber requirement for the beams; (4) eliminates all bridging; (5) permits increased use of lower grades of lumber; (6) provides more insulation without additional cost; (7) reduces waste of material by permitting use of multiples of standard lumber lengths; (8) reduces the handling of varying lengths and sizes of lumber; (9) simplifies construction details; (10) requires shorter exterior wall studs; (11) reduces the exterior wall height and over-all height for the same ceiling heights, giving more usable cubage in a house of the same size, or the same usable cubage in a house of smaller size; (I2) eliminates the layer of finish ceiling material such as lath and plaster by letting the underside of the plank serve as a finished ceiling; (13) provides a solid backing in place of spaced, narrow-faced nailing members for the application of any ceiling materials, if they are desired, by leaving the beams exposed; (14) provides a thicker nailing base for the finish floor, and (15) permits speedy, dry-built construction.

In addition to a technical discussion of the entire plankand-beam floor and roof system the new booklet contains numerous isometric architectural detail drawings and delineations illustrative of its application to one- and twostory houses, plus four pages of tables of spans for planking and beams.

Washington, August S.-The first National Small Homes Demonstration 1940 low-cost home to be erected near Washington, D. C., has just been opened for public inspection by the Eisinger Mill & Lumber Company of Bethesda, Maryland, builders. This house is one of more than l2OA NSHD homes built throughout the country this yeaf.

The house, reflecting economies in construction and presenting a compact, though not crowded appearance, is the story-and-a-half. 4o2 design. The home contains two bedrooms, living room, kitchen-dinette, and bath and has been paneled throughout in knotty pine. Exposed beam ceilings and the plank floor system of construction are also featured. The attic, extending the entire length of the house, has been left unfinished and may be used either for storage or additional bedroom area. Air conditioned oil heat, insulated side walls and roof, and electric kitchen complete the home.

The selling price of this National Small Homes Demonstration design, including the lot of more than one-half acre, is $4,350.

How Lumber Looks

(Continued from Page 4) indicating that the movement of lumber into home construction is tapering off.

The lumber requirements of the entire national defense program have been tentatively estimated at four billion feet of all species and items, extending over 18 months to trvo years before completion. This amount represents about one-fourth of the 1939 lumber production of the United States. While defense program lumber will obviously be an important factor in the market situation of the industry nationally, it promises nothing resembling a lumber boom. A market comparable to that of the World War is nowhere in sight.

In the reviving volume of lumber movement the West Coast industry is again due to be squeezed through shortage of intercoastal space. At the moment such space is reasonably adequate, but the prospect is that it will be wholly inadequate in the latter months of the year.

Less than 65 per cent of the producing cap'acity of the West Coast lumber industry is now in use. On this score, the industry will be able to meet any demand of national defense for lumber, in addition to the normal needs of building and the farm trade.

The Western Pine Association, 113 mills reporting, for the week ended August 17, gave orders as 95,429,00O feet, shipments 84,827,W feet, and production 98,045,000 feet. Increase in orders accepted compared with the previous week's report totaled 4,433,000 feet, or 4.8 per cent. Orders on hand at the end of the week amounted to DLI49.M feet.

Lumber cargo receipts at Los Angeles Harbor for the week ended August 24 totaled 8,459,W feet as compared with 15,243,000 feet the previous week.

Approximately 400 A. F. of .L. workers on strike at twelve San Diego lumber yards returned to work August 14 to all the yards except Peterson Lumber & Finance Co. where a strike was called a few rveeks ago. Local Navy officials had expressed concern during the tie-up that several national defense projects would be jeopardized by shutdown of the yards.

Lumber deliveries by water from the Pacific Northwest as reported by the Pacific Lumber Carriers' Association, San Francisco, totaled 75,317,8W feet in July.
