Sugar Pine Lumber Co. Ships Triin Load o[ Lumber

A solid trainload of lumber will be shipped from the operations of the Sugar Pine Lumber Company, I-td., Pinedile, California, during the latter part of leptember' lhip- *.ttt" in this train wil-l be largely Sugar Pine, destined, for use in foundries for pattern making, for retail yards, planing mills, for sash ani doot factories and woodworking and industrial concerns, located at points in twenty states a.nd Canada. All shipments will be made from the Sug-ar Pine Lumber Company, Ltd., operations at Pinedale, California, or its subsidiiry,- the Yosemite Lumber Company, Ltd., at Merced Falls, California.

The.se two plants have an annual producing capacity of 160 million f6et, or approximately 8,000 railroad cars of lumber per /€ar; If these 8,000.cars.were shipped i.n one train, each cit containing n,W bbard feet, it would be approximately 77 miles in' length, and its weight approximately 320 million pounds.

The principal species of rvood manufactured is Sugar Pine, (Pinus'Lambertiana) a soft, trye White Pine of the five-needle variety. Sugar Pind:'s chief uses are for.patterns and flasks in foundrieJ and castings works, for high class soft textured mouldings, for sash and doors and fine wood work where beauty, itrength, rot resisting qualities and 'ease of working are important, and for general utility purposes where a frigtr grade, soft-textured Pine is required.

The operations of the'Sugar Pine Lumber- Company, r Ltd., now produce approximately one-half of the total - Sugar Pine tut in the-United States. Inventories of from 75 to 10O million feet of manufactured lumber are constant-' ly carried, available for immediate shipment. - The-major portion of the stock is thoroughly air seasoned in climatic ionditions ideal for the drying of lumber. During the,long summer months temperatures ranging from 90 to 115 degrees prevail and the atmospheric moisture content runs inu.nilly lo*. This fortunate arrangement of nature allows the lumber to season thoroughly and uniformly with- out the case hardening, kiln burning and stresses set up by kiln-drying methods. The timber stands occur in the beautiful and rugged high Sierra Mountains of California, at an altitude of f*r6m fivi to seven thousand feet, the true home of the Sugar Pines where Nature has been growing these trees for man's use over hundreds of years. The annular ring growths of a number of the trees indicate that many oT thein-have been growing for 750 to 800 years. The majority of the logs aie from 3 to 7-l fee_t-in diameter, and the trees range in height lrom 175 to 25O leet. lighty-nine miles of -railroad dre operated over to bring these giant trees from the woods to the sawmill. In the actual woods operation all logging equipment is electrical to minimize t6e fire hazard.- About one thousand four hundred men are employed at the normal peak- period of operation.-to log, fall-, siw, pile and ship the products of these two mills.

Russian Lumbcr Floods Market in Argentina

Consular reports show that there is about twenty million feet of Russiin lumber piled up on the docks of Buenos Aires, Argentina, efiectually flooding that market and filling all aviilable storage space.

Stocks of North hmerican iumber in Argentina are low.
