A teletype has been installed in the Fresno office to insure speedy service from the Northwest mills to the dealers. This service at Fresno is additional to the inventory carried by Hill & Morton, In'c., at Dennison Street Wharf, Oakland, California.
Nearly everywhere Red Grimes goes, he finds friends, and if he doesn't find 'em he soon makes 'em. For truly Red refects the warm, friendly spirit of California Redwood and the Palco organization.
Red was born in Oakla.nd-we'd tell you when except he would then have to start acting dignified-and that wouldn't be Red.
Problems of the retailer are second nature to Red as he spent several years in a yard and later was salesman for a jobber.
In 1920 he joined Palco and has become a regular member of the "family.'l "Scotia," however, is only a steamship as far as Red is concerned, for his one regret is the fact that he didn't acquire a "sawdust complexion" in the Scotia mills, as so many Palco folks have done.
In 1929 he finally bid goodbye to bachelotdom and married Anna Belle Andrews. Today he is busily engaged in shaping the cateers of his two young sons whom Red claims are both fine "timber" for future lumbermen.
Red is now working with Gus Hoover in spreading the Palco gospel in Southern California. He alio spent several years in Northern California and Texas where his friends are legion.
Never in the past have I mixed politics with business. But show rne the man who can separate business from politics in this country today. In the past the business man has usually dodged politics. But I'll tell Mr. Business Man one thing, (and I mean Mr. Big Business Man, and Mr. Little Business Man, and Mr. Every Other Business Man), and that is that he is going to get into politics from now on. Because now, for the first time in our history, business IS politics, and politics IS business. You can't separate them any more than you can unscramble eggs. And the business man who thinks he isn't going to play politics in the years to come, is just whistling in the graveyard.
>F**
Yes Sir, politics has gone into business-into every businsss-2nd so business must go into politics whether it will or no. The camel has his head under the tent today; only a master effort will keep the body out. And business men will have to fight this political game from now on until the Executive, the Judicial, and the Legislative departments of our Federal Government go back into their former places and take up their former occupations; until the Government has gone out of business; until the law of supply and demand comes back to business and to agriculture; until the bureaus go where the woodbine twineth; until men get paid for what they DO and not for what they DON'T; until equal rights, such as we used to have, come back to all men; until we again raise and use rather than destroy and abort the good things that God sends us; until Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness become again our national ambition. Until that time I'm afraid my business writings must be tinctured with politics. I don't like it. In fact I hate the thought of the whole business. But it's here, and we've got to meet it or go hide in the hills. ***
Just as an example of what's going on, have you read the new Potato Control law that was passed by the recent Congress? You should read it just as an example of what may happen in any other direction any day. Did you know that the Government, immediately after that potato control law was passed, received a communication from a certain group of loyal farmers that read as follows ! "We, the undersigned men and women, American citizens living on our own land in West Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, conscious of our American heritage and determined to preserve it, hereby solemnly resolve: That we protest
against and declare that we will not be bound by the 'Potato Control Law', an unconstitutional measure recently enacted by the United States Congress. We shall produce on our own land such potatoes as we may wish to produce and dispose of them in such manner as we may deem proper."
And what is this new Law whictr "Time" says was passed without an hour's discussion in either house of Congress? To give you the short of it, I quote from the September 9th issue of "Time": "According to the new law, no one may buy or offer to buy potatoes which are not packed in closed containers approved by the Secretary of Agriculture and bearing proper Government stamps. Penalty: $1,000 fine; for a second offense a year in jail, an additional $1,OOO fine, or both. No farmer, under the same penalty, may sell potatoes without such containers and stamps. No farmer can get the necessary stamps unless he (1) pays a tax of 45 cents a bushel, or (2) receives tax-exemption stamps from the Secretary of Agriculture. No farmer can get tax exemption stamps except for a potato production quota allotted him by the Secretary of Agriculture. No farmer can get a quota unless he makes an application supported by evidence (1) proving that potatoes were raised on his farm in 1932,1933, or 1934, and (2) showing how rnany potatoes he raised and sold in past years." ***
"And the Star Spangled Banner, Oh long may it wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
Ilere's another e*arrrple*of tn"*an,rrr" that go on, a letter from a small cotton farmer in Texas to his local Democratic newspaper. He says: "I have a sixty acre farm. Fourteen acres I plant to cotton. A committee or commission or whatever they call themselves, fix my allotment to two bales. My fourteen acres will probably produce seven bales. Now I must either pay the Government six cents a pound on the additional five bales, or I must buy tags from those over supplied that will cost me 5 cents a pound. Can you tell me why I must pay $25 a bale to these other farmers who have not planted the cotton, nor picked it, nor hauled it to gin." Try and answer that one. :f*<*

The other day a famous newspaper publisher who has been stoutly supporting the New Deal wrote Mr. Roosevelt and told him that business men who were formerly New Dealers are not only hostile but frightened at the wild legislation and the wild spending, and asked for a reply. The daily press blazoned the news that tfie President replied that he was going to give business "a breathing spell." The stock rnarket boomed as a consequence. Think of that for a demonstration of how quickly we would get well if we had definite assurance that the spending orgy and tlre Government-in-every-business policy was over ! Today you couldn't finance a new peanut stand in this country. Private capital is just as timid as it has been in years. Take the scare of unwise legislation, destructive taxes, and obnoxious interference away, and I honestly believe that every employable man in this country would be employed by Christmas; and we could keep the five billiott and not have it for an additional burden.

One of the great troubles with this country during the past five years is that everyone has been so busy with the depression that they have quit reading. Some wise man said that reading the wise words of the thinkers of the past cosrpensates us in some measure for the mediocrity of today.

The world always moves more slowly even than wise'men think. That is particularly true of the lumber business. Almost since the beginning of the industry we have been running short of trees, according to hazards and guesses based on facts of the moment, but tirne goes on and there are still plenty of trees. Prophecies of tree shortages and drastic lumber changes have been proving more erroneous in the past decade than ever before, for the years of depression, of shortened building and shortened production, have had much to do with that. From a standpoint of tree elimination conditions of the past ten years generally and the past five years specifically, have put us in a spot today that we would normally have arrived at several years ago.

I recall spending a very interesting day with the late R. A. Long at Longview, Washington. That was about ten years ago. Both of us had lots of time and few intemrptions, and we talked freely. Get Mr. Long away from the press of affairs in his Kansas City ofEce, and he was a wonderful companion, a splendid talker, and an interesting reservoir of information and opinion. He was looking into the future that day, and some of the things he said are deeply impressed in my memory. He thought, he said, that another ten years would make a tremendous change in the entire Northwestern lumber TdTtry.
Here is a general view of the picture he drew of what he thought the lumber industry of the Northwest would be TODAY. (Naturally, he was not figuring on the building slump and lumber slump that was then already started, or on the long, long years of panic and depression that were then so little dreamed of). Low grade lumber would no longer be shipped out of the Northwest. The only No. 2 and No. 3 lumber to be used as such would be for ordinary use in Northwestern short-haul territory. Part of the low grade stufr and refuse would be ground up for pulp wood in the then booming paper industry of the Northwest. Still more,,mostly refuse, would be ground up and converted into wide board for a variety of purposes. The better choice of low grade stuff would go to the re-manufacturing plants and used as Shop lumber. Only No. I and better stock would be shipped great distances. Clear lumber would mostly be sliced into veneers and built into plywood, thus making available to the building world big, wide, clear, stout boards of great size. Nailing up naffow boards and shiplap to build walls and partitions or broad wooden surfaces of any size, would be a thing of the past. Great, clear
surfaces of plywood would be quickly cut and fitted for all such purposes. The production of finish lumber would fall very low, and used mostly as cut stock for manufacturing purposes. Tfunbers, of course, would be cut into every size, and shipped all over the world. The great change would be the elfunination of low grade lumber for general building purposes.
Conditions have postponed the fulfillment of some of Mr. Long's predictions. There has been no great demand for the things into which the low grades must be converted, and therefore not much has been done along that line. But I believe that in a very few rnore years most of his thoughts will be manifested in the lumber industry. The plywood industry has become a tremendous one, even in the face of adverse conditions and low building demand, and with the advent of buitding prosperity by far the fastest growing use of wood will be the continued and continual adaptation of these big clear sheets of wood to thousands of practical purposes. And, the making of building board out of refuse is another department that is only in its infancy, and will come fast in the next few years. Certainly a knotty, defective log is much better shipped to market in the shape of wide, strong, thoroughly sound wooden board, than in the shape of a lot of low grade lumber. r
In the next few years the paper mills of the Northwest will boom and many more will be installed; board mills will turn out broad boards made from refuse in quantities hardly dreamed of today; and the re-manufacturing plants will convert Shop lumber into cut-to-fit and cut-to-order items for manufacturing plants everywhere. But we will stop shipping such huge quantities of wane, and rot, and knot, and defect, to all parts of the world. Mr. Long told me that day when Frederick Weyerhaeuser the First established his huge empire of timber in the Northwest he expressed the opinion that the low grades would be consumed West of the mountains, and only the higher grades shipped distances. That prediction has been delayed, but it will come.

I can remember with what amazement plgnty of laymsn-4nd lots of lumbermen as well-listened to me years ago when in almost innumerable public addresses in all parts of the State I called the attention of the people of California- to its forest resources. "This isn't rightfully 'The Golden State' as it is so frequently called," I used to tell them, "because the forests of California have already produced far more wealth than have all the gold mines; and while the gold mines are practically gone, the forests are practically intact."
This wouldn't be a bad time to start recalling that fact to our people. For the time is again at hand when the forests of the state are certain to play a most prominent part in the drama of renewed and restored prosperity. Only one state in the Union, Oregon, has more standing virgin timber than California. And the timber of 'Oregon is being manufa,ctured at a much faster rate than is the timber of California., The day will come when California will be able to claim the foremost place in virgin forest resources, because the very nature of the industry ordains that Oregon shall ,continue to manufacture its native timber, principally Douglas Fir, at a much faster rate than California will cut its Pine and*Redwood.
With the coming of the approaching tide of national prosperity, the California forest products will be subjected to a much stronger demand from the rest of the country than has ever been the case in the past. Most of the forests of California are composed of specialty woods. Sugar Pine, California White Pine, and Redwood, are all specialty woods. While the l'ir forests of the Northwest are used chiefly for general building materials, big timbers, construction lumber of all sizes and ,characters. and for the ordinary building items, the California native woods are geneqally used for more special purposes. We do not make timbers, heavy dimension, or even ordinary construction items as a rule, from any of the major species that compose the great forests of the rJ",:. *
That is why we import into California from Washington and Oregon great quantities of timbers, planks, boards, lath, etc., made of Douglas Fir (or C)regon Pine as it is commonly called in California) to use for our general construction work: while much of our California Redwood and Pine is shipped beyond the borders of the State. We use these woods largely as specialties in California, just as they do elsEwhere. Our ordinary building material in California is therefore Douglas Fir from the North, while our own California woods are scattered all over the nation and the world to be used for more specialized purposes.
wood, here and ,elsewhere. It has marvelous rot-resisting qualities, and is in great demand where su,ch characteristics are demanded. Tanks of every sort, water towers and water ,cooling devices, casket and coffin making, trough building, outside trim to be exposed to the weather, inside trim where variety and ,color is desired, window sash, tubs and other receptacles that must be water-resisting, stadium seats, grandstands and bleachers, billboards and signs, concrete forms, septic tanks, barns, poultry houses, green' houses, fences, gates, irrigation structures, silos, garde4 furniture, pergolas, mudsills, siding, sheathing, shingleq, and hundreds of uses where ordinary softwoods would not answer the purpose because of their lesser resistance to rot and wet. One of the most important growing uses for structual grade Redwood is for highway bridges. Comparable in its characteristics and uses to Red Cypress, Redwood comes every day into greater demand throughout the country.
Sugar Pine is a magnificent species of softwood. The texture is very fine, the grain very soft, and the wood lends itself to all of the same purposes that made the old Northern White Pine famous for the past one hundred years; and Sugar Pine has the advantage of being much larger in size than Northern White Pine and therefore capable of producing a much greater percentage of wide boards and planks for speclalty purposes. For pattern stock it has no equal; and innumerable uses to whi'ch a soft, pliable, workable, resinless white pine can be put, furnish a continually widening market for this mighty California tree. And Sugar Pine, like Redwood, grows only in California, practically speaking. A few million over the line to the North, but not enough to mention. *{.*
California's biggest stand of timber is Western Yellow Pine, well known the world over for generations as "California White" Pine. This is a soft, light, wonderfully useful wood; has more uses by far than any of the other California woods. They make it into trim, sash, doors, and a thousand other things, and they ship it all over the countt''
* * lrr
The best figures available show that California has today approximately:
75 Billion feet of California White Pine.
30 Billion feet of Sugar Pine.
65 Billion feet of Redwood.
36 Billion feet of Douglas Fir.
5O Billion feet of White Fir.
14 Billion feet of Miscellaneous woods.
Total, about 27O Billion feet of virgin timber.

* * California has only two assets comparable in value to used almost entirely as a premium her timber wealth, narnely, her citizenship and her sun-
shine. But no other physical asset is to be compared with her timber. And no other physical thing will contribute more largely to her future greatness. It would be an optimist indeed who would try to convey with plain and unadorned figures what this vast stand of highly desirable timber means to this state in the future. At the present rate of manufacture that timber would last many generations. But even figured at the accelerated rate at which it will naturally be cut as building comes back, and other lumber supplies vanish, it is safe to say that there is one hundred years of maximum lumber manufacture ahead for California.

That means employm.:, ;.
*r.", army of men for generations; employment in the woods, in the mills, in transportation, in distribution, in retailing, in refinement, in ,construction. Almost every foot of that timber will go into taxable things. Man and his civilization will support itself for generations to come with the taxes on those buildings and other things into which that timber will be constructed. Nothing temporary, nothing intangible, nothing vague about the wealth and the good this great forest means to California. It is genuine in character, tremendous in volume, and almost eternal in its scope.
Great building days "r. ".-r"* to California. Building permits will in the next ten years far surpass the figures of 1923 and 1924. Lumber and other building materials will be consumed in greater volume than any time in the past. The same steady trend of civilization, seeking a brighter, happier, better place to live than that which it has known, is on its way. It will build its homes and its towns and its cities from San Diego to Shasta. And the lumber industry will play its part and the forests render their mighty contribution.in this building drama. It behooves us to understand this, and make ready.
Russell C. Slade, well known member of a pioneer lumber family, died in San Francisco, August 24.
Mr. Slade was born in Oakland, Calif., and was asso'ciated for many years with his father in the operation of the S. E. Slade Lumber Company, San Francisco, and was manager of the company since his father's retirement some years ago.

Residential construction in San Francis'co reached the highest monthly mark in two years in August u'ith a total value of $340,350.
Modernization projects started were valued at $316,512, a gain of more than $100,000 over July.
Total buildings permits for August were $1,94O,917, as compared with ff09,991 for August, 1934.

Etheridge l-umber Company at Norfolk, Va., and built the barn in the ship's hold on the long voyage to Nerv Zealand. He tells also how the completed barn was sawed into sections, to be reassembled on the ice later at Little America.
"The llarn n'as the only building at Little Ameri'ca in rvl.rich there rvas no trouble with moisture in the walls," says N{r. Cox. "Two layers of Celotex enabled us to maintain temperatures of 60 degrees or more above that of the outside air at all times."
The cows averaged a yield of about 10O pounds of rnilk a day, ancl Admiral Ryrd believed the ample fresh milk supply was a major factor in his recovery from his severe illness resulting from his long, solitary vigil at the advance weather base.
