F'IFTY NINE BILLION FEET OF TIMBER LEFT IN MONTANA

There is a little over fifty nine billion feet of timber left standing in the state of Montana, according to the latest govern,ment figures. The total annual cut runs about 600 .million feet of everything, logs, posts, poles, ties, timbers, etc., and the Government estimates that the annual regrowth of timber in Montana is close to 800,000,C00 feet annually, so it would seem that Montana is cutting less of her timber supply than she is growing, which is decidedly interesting.

Of the 57 ,billion feet Montana possesses, 35, billion feet is in the national f'orests, 2 billion is in the national parks, 2 billion in Indian reservations, over 2 billion is owned by the state, and the rest is in private hands.

HOME BUILDING COURSE BY U. OF CAL. EXTENSION DIVISION

The extension division of the University of Cal'ifornia, in Los Angeles, will this season teach a course of "Art in House Building," through Prof, Arthur B. Clark, at Los Angeles.

The development of A,merican architecture and the practical application of that development to the miraculous building growth in Southern California will be its chief concern.

Speaking first of that chaste Georgian architecture of older cities of the Atlantic seaboard which has survived since the Colonial period, P'rofessor Clark said:

Buitding Right?

"Here on the Pacific coast whole square miles at a time are, in the course of a few months, converted from agricultural fields to thickly populated urban residence tracts.

"Are we building worthily? Are we retaining all that is best and adaptable from the past? Or are we, in a desire for newness and change, accept'ing in a feverish frenzy novel and bizarre effects which can have only disastrous results upon the national character.

"I believe that we are doing both good and p'oor buildittg. Some localities are advancing, some are retrograding .in the development of. A,merican civilization through domestic architecture. Still a worthy California architecture is b6ing formed. Just what its genius and traditions are ,cannot be entirely clear, but it is the privilege of all thoughtful Californians to exert themselves in determining what is desirable."

Open Forum

Open forum discussions will be held in'the class, which . will meet, beginning Sept. 18, on Tuesday afternoons at 3 o'clock in the Y. W. C. A. auditorium, 941 South Figueroa street, Los Angeles.

Tuesdays at 4, Professor Clark will conduct a class in architectural drawing, of value to contractors, draftsmen or carpenters who may thus gain an added knowledge of beauty or design.

Cleveland Ohio Lumber Dealers Condemn 6 To 2 Star Shingles

Cleveland, Ohi6:-The Cleveland Board of Lumber Dealers has taken the m.ost drastic step in the. history of retail lumbering, in passing a resolution ,condemning the 6 to 2 Star wooden shingle, and agreeing not to buy any more of that grade. They did it, NOT as enemies to wooden shingles, but as friends to the wooden shingle who feel that the. shingle business and the building business both suffer by the use of the thin Star shingles on roofs. The resolution they passed follows:

'Whereas, in our opinion the use of 6 to 2 wood shingles upon a roof is against the interests of the putblic and of the yards in this territory which aim to handle high class merchandise,. and

While 6 to 2 shingles as a 'hou6e sidipg might be approved, it has been f6und in practice that-a laige misuse of it has been made by contractors and builders desiring to cheapen their construction; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we recommend to the members of this board that they discontinue the upe and sale of 6 to 2 shingles and offer in their stead not less than 5'tot 2 in thickness; and

RESOLVED, That 4 copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Shin$le Brgnch of the '!|est Coast Lumbermen's Association at Seattle, as expressive of the sentiment of this body.

sAN JOAQUTN COUNTY DEALERS HAVE FrNE GET TOGETHER MEE-TING

A very interesting retail lumber ,meeting of the past month was held in Stockton, Cal., on August 29th. It was a "get together" meeting of the retail lu,mtber dealers of San Joaquin County, and the attendance was nearly 100 per cent. The affair was in the form of a dinner given, by the city dealers in Stockton, and inviting in as their guests the dealers in the county outside of Stockton. Chas. G. Bird issued the invitations on behalf of the Stockton dealers.

The dinn,er was attended by three invited guests, Gus Russell, of San Francisco; F'loyd Dernier, of Los Angeles, and Jack Dionne, Publisher of The California Lumber Merchant. Mr. Russell was pressed into service as Toastmaster, and made a very eloquent one. Robert Inglis, of The San Joaquin Lumber Co., Stockton, delivered a very nice address of welcome to the out of town visitors, and several other dealers present made short talks. Jack Dionne 'made a h"ppy after-dinner talk.
