J. M. Carson Pasges On

John Milton Carson, president and general manager of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, Eureka, Calif., passed away at his home in Eureka on August 25. He had suffered for some time from heart trouble but in spite of this had been active in business and was at his office almost daily up to within a few days of his passing.

Mr. Carson was known throughout California and the West as the dean of the,Redwood manufacturers and his death brought many expressions of sorrow.

He was a man whose kindly disposition earned him the friendship of all with rvhom he came in contact. The success of the company which he managed has been largely due to the friendly spirit and cooperation existing between management and employes.

He was born in Eureka in 1865. His father, William Carson, who came to Humboldt County in 1851 was the founder in 1863 of the firm of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, and was one of the first lumbermen to operate in Humboldt County.

Mr. Carson took over the management of the company at the death of his father, about D years ago, and was active in company affairs ever since. He supervised the construction in L924 of the modern electric sawmill the company now operates.

He was an ardent sportsman, maintaining a fishing lodge at Klamath Glen and was considered an authority on fish and their propagation. He also had a hunting lodge at Fieldbrook.

Mr. Carson was a member of Humboldt Lodge, F. and A. M.; Humboldt Chapter, R.A.M.; Eureka Commandery, Knights Templar; a life member of Islam Ternple, and a life member of Eureka Chapter, Benevolent and protective Order of Elks.

Surviving are his 'rvife, Mrs. Mary Bell Carson, of Eureka; a daughter, Mrs. Clarence LaBoyteaux of Nevada Cit1,, Calif.; a grandson, Ellsworth LaBoyteaux of Eureka. Funeral services were held on Wednesdav, AugustZT,in the Christ Episcopal Church, Eureka.

Below is reprinted in full an editorial which appeared 'in The Humboldt Times, of Eureka, in the issue of August 26:

Eureka Loses Real Man by Death of J. M. Carson

"In the death of J. M. Carson, Eureka has lost a helpful and far-seeing civic leader, the Redwood industry has lost one of its best executives, and hundreds of Humboldt county residents, from the highest-placed business associate to the lowliest employe, have lost a beloved friend.

"For nearly 30 years following the death of his father, William Carson, he was the head of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company, and he added to its reputation as an efficient producer, a large employer of labor, and a leader in developing the industry's reputation for fair, enlightened dealings with its men.

"Like his father before him, the high place he enjoyed in the hearts of Humboldt residents as a leader of industry is deserved and secure.

"But Milton Carson will not be remembered chiefly for the modern electrical mill that he built, the number of men he employed, the billions of feet of lumber he contributed to the state's development, nor the millions of dollars in wages that he paid out. You can't tell the story of a life as warm and varied as his lrith statistics.

"He will be remembered as a man who loved life, as a man of warm human sympathies, as a hunter and fisherman, as one who loved and respected other men and was loved and respected by them. He was not one to strike poses, and he would have squirmed under a fancy name like philanthropist, but no man was more ready than he to give quiet help to those who needed it.

"His passing severs one link with the colorful past of this community, for he was a native of Eureka and was associated with this city throughout his active life. But his memory will go on, and it will be an inspiration to all vvho knew him, on and on into the future."

National Incomc Continues to Rise

Advancing for the fourth consecutive month, the national income produced in the United States rose in June to a new high peak for the current movement, according to the Alexander Hamilton Institute. The national income in June amounted to $8,200,000,000 as compared with $7,908,000,000 in May and with the 1940 high of $7,983,000,000last October. The national income in June was 38.4 per cent larger than in the corresponding month last year, when it amounted to $5,926,000,000.

Preliminary information indicates that the national income showed a further expansion in July. Prices continued their upward trend, there was a seasonal increase in the shipments of farm products and industrial activity was well maintained. The outlook is that the national income will continue to rise until the usual seasonal curtailment in the shipments of agricultural products occurs in November.

This prospective expansion indicates that the national income during the last half of 1941 will be larger than during the first half. The national income during the first six months amounted to W3,642,ffi0,000 as against $34,530,000,000 in the corresponding period last year, an increase of 26.4 per cent. If the expected expansion occurs during the last half of this year, the annual national income in 1941 may exceed $90,000,000,000 as compared with $76,035,000,000 in 1940. The national income this year will thus be considerably larger than in the predepression year ol 1V29, when it amounted to $83,365,000,000.
