One of World's Greatest Dty Kiln Instalfations

Wilf Dty ?aul Bunyan" Pine at Westwood Calif.

When the installation now being completed by the Moore lry Kiln Company at the mammoth lumber minufacturing plant of The Red River Lumber Company, at Westwood-, California, is in full operation, one of the mightiest batteries of dry kilns ever seen on earth will be the result. First they build seven of these big 25 by 120-foot double track Moore Cross Circulation kilns. Then they added four more. And before the four had been completed The Red River Lumber Company gave them an order for four more, making fffteen in all that are now close to completion. Something like four hundred thousand feet of perfectly kiln dried lumber daily will be the capacity of these fifteen kilns. Some lumber, eh ?

Thus The Red River Lumber Company, makers of that world famous "Paul Bunyan" Pine, prepare themselves to season their lumber for market in a volume perhaps never attempted before, and in that state of dried perfection which the modern Moore Cross Circulation kilns give. The offi- cials of the company confidently figure that so great will be their advantage in supplying their trade that the greatness of their operation at Westrvood may well be dated from the completion of those kilns.

The Westwood plant is one of the biggest and best in Ameri,ca. Four head rigs and trvo horizontal resaws f,orm the log-cutting equipment of the sarvmill. A mighty remanufacturing plant is a very important part of the institqt!o,q, the plywood factorv alone having a present capacity of 2@,@0 square feet daily on a three-ply basis.

The officials of The Red River Lumber Companv are: Archie D. Walker, President; Clinton I-. Walker,- VicePresident; Willis J. Walker, Chairman of the Board and Vice-President; Fletcher L. Walker, Vice-President and Treasurer; Theodore S. Walker, Vice-President and Manager; R. F. Pray, Assistant l\4anager in charge of Manufacture and Sales; Leo J. Opsahl, Sales Manager; W. B. Laughead, Advertising Manager.

Pressure-Treated Lumber

(Continued from Page 15) that in the past prevented the lumber dealer from handling and profiting from pressure-treated lumber. And this determination is .evidencing itself in practical efiorts in this territory to get pressure-treated lumber to the small builder in a manner satisfactory and profitable to all concerned. Up to a very short time ago a lumber dealer who wanted .to sell treated lumber for the under part of homes and other buildings, hardly knew how to go about it. Today he can do it with no more trouble than to get and sell shingles and shiptap. Any lumber dealer can now buy stock items of pressure-treated lumber, any quantity desired, in mixed cars with untreated lumber, or in lesser quantities by itself.

What the dealer is interested in is to have treated lumber available without too great an investment. The average dealer often finds himself on the defensive when a prospective home-builder wants treated lumber for the under parts of his house, and the dealer hasn't it, and hasn't discovered how easily, and economically, and profitably he can carry such stock today. And all too frequently Mr' Dealer, wanting to satisfy the customer and play his own hand at the same time, suggests that wood preservatives for the under part of the house can be applied with a brush. And so plenty of buildings have been erected with the underneath lumber so "treated," but with a minimum of protection.

Creosoting men told me years ago, and ever since, that to put Creosote on with a brush or a tank dip was a sinful waste of material. To be of service, the preservative must be injected through the fiber of the wood in the first place; and in the second place, it must be really preservative, and very, very few real preservatives of wood have been discovered.

I think the time has come when every live dealer should make an intelligent survey of his own territory, decide what items in treated lumber he can create a market for, and then stock a modest quantity of these items and have them ready. That it is much easier to sell treated lumber right off the shelf than having to order after you sell, there can be little doubt. Lumber and wood have lost lots of territory in the past ten or fifteen years. The lumber dealer can help get some of this lost advantage back by intelligently stocking and selling pressure-treated lumber. When a builder can protect his home by putting pressure-treated lumber in the foundations at a cost of from l/o to 1t/r/6 of the lumber bill, he cannot well afford to go without that protection.

I believe the use of pressure-treated lumber in home and other small building construction will grow so fast that it will be a stalwart aid of the lumber industry in its effort to regain lost ground in the building field.

Not Too Proud

The officer brought Andrew Jackson Hollanby into justice court for about the tenth time since the first of the year, and the judge gazed, upon his black face with stern determination.

"Andrew Jackson," he said coldly, "aren't you ashamed to be here again?"

"Nossuh, Jedger" replied Andrew Jackson Hollanby, with a most ingratiating smile. "Ah ain't 'shamed t' be heah. Case Ah sez to mahse'f Ah sez 'whut's good enuff fo' de Jedge, is good enuff fo' me.' Yassuh !"

Tether

Time has been gentle with us foolish folk, Has let us wander through unharried days; So it has been since the young Eve awoke, To infant knowledge and to milder amaze. Life has her tether, and the hand of One Holds us in pastures of our own desire, Until the greenness of the field be gone And we must in ourselves htrnt grasses higher.

But could we as wild cattle run the hills Wild with our wisdom, breaking down the trees

Of doubt, with our sharp horns of wills?

Could we run wild and free, as free as these?

But we would feed on bitter weeds I know, Should God's hand cut the curbing tether so.

-Gladys Horn.

The Rich And The Poor

There is an old saying that the rich have money and the poor have children. As for the rich having mon€/r that of course is obvious. And as for the poor having childrenwell, read the story yourself.

Jim Scott, a poverty-stricken back-woodsman, had become the father of his twelfth child. The cradle in which the child lay had served the same purpose for eleven preceding children and its rockers were so far gone, there was no more rock in them.

"Guess we gotter git a new cradle, Jim," the wife said with a plaintive sigh. "This one's erbout all used up." Jim looked over the dilapidated crib that was ready to fall apart.

"I guess yo'u're right, Salr" he drawled. "I guess we gotter git a new one. Next time you go to town, git one at the store. But this time git one that will last."

The Halo Of The Years

Why grieve that time's fine etching round the eyes, Thus marks the field where mirth has vanquished fears, Or mourn, since silver hair but glorifies, A head that boasts the halo of the years?

-M"ry Laidley Rudasill.

Publishes Two Attractive Brochures

Portland, Oregon, September 1.-The nation-wide popularity of Knotty Pine paneling has stimulated an active demand for pra.ctical information on all phases of its application in new construction and remodeling. To meet this growing interest in wood paneling, the Western Pine Association has published two attractive brochures-PANELING OLD OR NEW INTERIORS WITH REAL PINE aNd BEAUTIFUL PANELED WALLS OF GENUINE WHITE PINE. The first deals with Ponderosa Pine and the second with Idaho White Pine.

Both booklets are profusely illustrated with photographs of actual installations ranging from those in small, low-cost homes and cottages to those in the finest and most modern homes, shops, hotels and offrces in the country. The subject is discussed in the foreword of each brochure by an architect-in the one instance by Walter E. Church of Whitehouse and Church; and the other by Margaret Goodin Frits,ch, both of Portland, Oregon. One has only to glance through the twenty pages of each brochure to pick up practical ideas and suggestions on design, grade-types, finishing treatments and harmonious color schemes for furnishings in Knotty Pine rooms, and drawings of popular pine paneling patterns.

Single copies will be furnished free on application to the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.
