Four days before he died, General Leonard \f,food, one of the best citizens America has produced in a generation, and straight as a man was ever made, said to the President of The Philippine Mahogany Association:
"Keep up this fight; we have'justice on our side, and I'll back you to the limit."
That is as good an indorsement as any movement ever had. The opponents of Philippine Mahogany-the men and firms whose iron-clad monopoly of foreign cabinet woods over Americdn consumers has been seriously threatened of late by these American grown Philippine woods-have attempted to bring into this case which the Federal Trade Commission has decided in favor of the foreign woods as against the American grown, the taint of fraud.
To any American citizen who has heard or read that aspersion, simply refer him to the words of General Wood, and ask him if he thinks General Wood was sponioring a fraud with such vigor and earnestness.
The fact is, as I stated in my editorial on this same subject in our September first issue, that there is no public interest in this matter. It is purely and simply a commercial fight in which a coterie which has enjoyed one of the tightest monopolies that the lumber industry has ever known, is feeling its grip loosened by the rapidly developing popularity of these beautiful Philippine woods, at their reasonable and economical prices, -and turned to a Governmental agency for assistance.
We do not believe that The Federal Trade Commission had any business trying the case until it had been shown that it was public welfare that was at stake. That the welfare of the public is being well served by the inroads of the Philippine Mahogany into the cabinet wood market of the United States, is easily proven. It has put within reach of our citizens at modest prices, woods of a texture, beauty, and value, that used to be considered attainable only by those of larger means and financial ability.
The average citizen is not interested in the botanical name of a wood, or its particular. tree derivation. What he wants to know is, is it beautiful, is it serviceable, is it valuable, and is it within his means. Philippine Mahsglny has put wonderful cabinet woods within the price reach of millions of people to whom the older Mahogany was unattainable, and in so doing has served a large public interest.
And, unless unreasonably restrained, it will continue to develop very rapidly in public favor, and general use. There is plenty of this Philippine Mahogany. There is a long future supply. There is strong competition in its production and sale. It is certain to be sold at reasonable prices for a long, long time to come.
The California Lumber Merchants believes that no fraud has been intended or practiced in calling it Philippine Mahogany, and that the public would be injured if the courts were to sustain the verdict of The Trade Commission. No one would be served except the producers of these foreign Mahoganies.
We believe that the courts will readily understand that the public is being helped and not hurt by Philippine Mahogany, and that the American nation will be benefited if the judges say to the Federal Trade Commission,-"flands eff!"

'We are not over-proud of rnodern journalism as Portrayed by The Los Angeles Times in reference to two recent editorials.
In a letter written by the Publisher of The California Lumber Merchant to the signed editor of a recent bitter anti-Redwood editorial in the Times, we gave a lot of plain and simple-and we believe incontrovertible facts in the cise, and we suggested that while the modern editor is not infallibly wise, or exceeding practical, he DOES aspire to be fair and just, and we asked for Justice.
We regret to say that so far as The Los Angeles Times is concerned, and based on the evidence in this case in point, we must withdraw the intended compliment. If they have any intention or desire to be either fair or just, there is no evidence to indicate that fact.
To begin with, the Times published an editorial under the signature of Mr. Harry Carr, in which the men who manufacture Redwood trees into practical things for the usri of mankind, were bitterly, immoderately, vulgarly attacked.
Because we did not believe that Mr. Carr really meant what he said, and because we KNEW that Mr. Carr did not know the facts in the case, and because we believed that Mr. Carr would be fair and just if the facts WERE presented to him, we did not reprint the malignant editorial in these columns. Instead, we wrote a letter to Mr. Carr, couched in such terms that Mr. Carr referred to it as "a courteous and interesting letter," and stated clearly and plainly the facts concerning the cutting of Redwood. They are facts that we believe are unanswerable.
'We were serious in believing that Mr. Carr would at the very least reprint the facts and say a decent word for the lumbermen he had slandered, and a word of apology for discussing something he knew less than nothing about. When we received his acknowledgement we were convinced that justice would be done.
It is with sadness and regret that we admit that we gave Mr. Carr and The Los Angeles Times entirely too much credit. His long delayed editorial acknowledgement of the facts presented to him, arrived through the columns of The Times on October 2nd. They are as disappointing as the first editorial was repulsive. Not a word of the thoughts we presented. Not a suggestion of reprinting thesc facts so that the public may judge for itself the right and wrong of the matter. Just a discourtous and complete elimination of the lumbermen's side, with no intimation of fair play, no suggestion that the Golden Rule has any part in the editorial policies of The Los Angeles Times, and no suspicion of a square deal for an injured party, even after the facts are known to be in his favor.
So we have decided to reprint verbatim the remarks of Mr. Carr, the first one appearing in the columns of The
Los Angeles Times on September 5th, and the second on October 2nd.
The letter of the Publisher of The California Lumber Merchant to Mr. Carr, giving him the facts in the case, was reprinted in the October lst issue of The Merchant and, with these two editorials, completes the files on the case so far. Let every lumberman read the two editorials' read our letter of protest and information, and see for himself to what depths has daily journalism fallen in the City of Los Angeles, and in the free state of California.
Editorial By Harry Carr, In Los Angeles Times, September ltln, 1927.
As to the gallant attempt to save the redwood trees of California-
Generally speaking, it is soft flattery to call a man a murderer who would cut down one of these old giants. Any man who could persuade himself to sink an ax into one of those glorious old trees has the tender instincts of a Gila monster and the brain of one of the lower forms of shellfish.
The Sacrifice
For a thousand-perhaps 5000r-years these trees have looked down with pity upon a struggling world.
Now to be assassinated to put money into the pockets of some uninteresting, stupid family of human beings-en-, tirely unnecessary to the world.
f am sure just what such a family looks like. The father has a red nose and belches after dinner; the mother is a fat woman who tells long-winded stories about nothing; the children have adenoids.
Editorial By Harry Carr, In Los Angeles Times, October Znd, 1927.
Low sobbing noises from the general direction of the murdered redwood trees. The lumbermen, it seems, were not pleased at the assertion of the Lancer that anybody who would cut down one of these old giants has the heart of a crocodile and the brains of one of the lower forms of shellfish.
fn a letter'written to me it is made plain that these magnificent old trees which were old when Christ walked the waters of the Sea of Galilee have to be butchered because the lumberjacks and their families must live.
One thing in this letter makes me feel all right again; and completely reconciled to the massacre of the great trees. '
The lumbermen write that every time they cut down one of these giants they plant some more redwood trees.
So you see, it's quite all right. All we have to do is to wait 5000 years and we will have some giant redwoods for others to slaughter.

One of the most interesting traffic developments of the past two years has been the rapid growth of water hauling of hardwood lumber from the Southern States to California ports. Only a few years ago the hardwood freight moving from the Southern states to California was almost entirely rail shipments. Today lully 4O/o of all the hardwood lumber coming into California comes by water. The ports of Mobile, New Orleans, Houston, and Galveston, are the large shippers. The big steamers that carry so rnuch package Fir from the Pacific Coast to the Gulf ports, have built up that business, securing hardwood freight for their return. The rate from those ports by water is 45 cents per hundred, as compared with an 80 to 90 cent rail rate.

Mr. Wise, prior to association with the United St-ates Building & Loan Association, was connected with the retail lumber business in Los Angeles for many years.
The Schumacher Wall Board Corporation, of Los Angeles, is one California building concern that is not periritting pessimistic ideas to intrude themselves into this business operation.
For the past several months this big concern has been busily engaged in making improvements and additions to their-big wall board plant on Slauson Avenue, in Los Angeles, rihich, when -completed in the next month, will double their production. Such faith have this concern in their product, and its potential markets. The new -eqliP- ment ls for the making of both plaster board and their new plaster lath, whicfi they have been very rapidly developing a market for, and the demand for which has spread !o rapidly as to necessitate their increased production.
Earl Galbraith, Sales Manager for Schumacher prodticts, reports that this has been one of the best summers in the hiitory of the company, and the volume of business they have secured has been highly satisfactory. They are going into the winter with their production doubled, and their entire organization keyed high for a great year ahead.

Charles M. Ehninger.
The appointment of Charles M. Ehninger of New Orleans as American Lumber trade cornmissioner to South America has been announced bv Dr. Tulius Klein. Director of the Bureau of Foreign "tri Dotti.rtic Commerce.
The new trade commissioner has been associated with the export business in New Orleans over a long period. Previous to the war, in which he served as a lieutenant of artillery, he was employed by a general exporting house in that citv. In 1919 he entered the service of the New Orleans lumber firm of G. Amsinck & Co. He served in practically all capacities in this organization, finally'being made export manager. Tn 1922 he resigned to go into business for himself as an exDort lumber broker in New Orleans. In 7924 he becoml Superintendent of Latin American Agencies for the American'Pitchpini Export Co. of New Orleans, remaining in this:,ppsition untll joining the staff of the Department of Commerce. Mr. Ehninger is thoroughly familiar with the various markets of Latin America and the problems to be met in these areas by American exporters. During the past several years he has traveled extensively in West Indies, Mexico, Central Amer-. ica and countries of South America.
For the next year it is expected that Trade Commissioner Ehninger will devote his attention almost entirely to the River Plate countries of Argentina and Uruguay.
The River Plate region, it is pointed out, is one of the largest and most important foreign outlets for American woods and by far the most important market for American cooperage products. American exporters furnish only half of the softwood imported into the River Plate countries, one fourth of the hardwood, but 90 per cent of the cooperage. Southern pine, Douglas fir, and oak, constitute-the principle species of American woods marketed in this area, although west coast hemlock is rapidly increasing in favor.
In announcing the appointment of a new lumber trade commissioner for South America, Dr. Klein stated that considerable trouble has been experienced in the River
The Northwest Blozaer Kiln Company House Organ
It is well known that there has been a reasonable effort on the part of lumber manufacturers in both the fir and the pine regions of the West to curtail production, beginning early this year.
It is also generally recognized that much of the lumber produced during the early part of the year would not have been sawn, were it not for the fact that mills without kilns wanted to take advantage of the summer drying weather, and that mills which sawed lumber on this kind of a program unavoidably contributed to a soft market by boosting the production sufficiently above orders and shipments to produce a so-called "Buyer's Market."
In addition movement of quantities of this summer dried stock during the early fall, in an effort to get better weight on this stock than will be possible if held into the winter, is further weakening the price of lumber at this time.
Mills with kilns can balance production and shipments with the demand regardless of the season of the year and thus eliminate shipmentq_ of- yard drigd stock during the spring, summer, and early fall, which nearly every year demoralizes the market and mitigates against a fair "Seller's Price."
A study of the operation of mills with kilns shows that they do not have the peaks and valleys in their production and shipments so pronounced in yard seasoning operations, for in the main their production and shipments are regulated by the demand and can be regulated independent of either normal or unusual weather conditions.
In addition a complete kiln drying program does away with any production in advance of an immediate market and sb co-ordi4ates supply wiih'.demand that over-produc- tion may be reduied to a-minimum.
No one can estimate even within reasonable limits what the demand for lumber will be six or eight months hence, yet billions of feet of stock is continuously produced that far ahead of the market and this must be so as long as dried stocks are "months" instead of "days" behind the saw.
Plate region on account of the lack of mutual understanding between importers and exporters. Mr. Ehninger will work with the importer and endeavor to build up a better understanding of American lumber pfoducts. He will report to the Department of Commerce on all developments which might affect the business of American exporters and keep them posted in regard to competition from other countries. One of the most important activities of the new appointee will be to compile a handbook of the lumber trade of the entire River Plate market. With the inauguration of this new service to the American lumber export trade, the Commerce Department believes that the buSiness of lumber exporters to the River Plate will in the course of time be very appreciably increased.

R. A- LONG BLDG. Lumbqmen since t8Z5 KANSAS CITY, MO,
Mr. George S. Long, of Tacoma, Washington, is an au- that he used to hear about, are pretty well exhausted. He thority on timber.
It might be much fairer to say that Mr. Long is THE authority on timber.
Because Mr. Long is the executive head of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, which concern owns more standing timber than any other concern on earth owns or ever did own. How much they own, all told, everywhere, I cannot even estimate. Up in Washington they are just opening for logging one unit that contains from forty to fifty billion feet of virgin timber.
Mr. Long made a talk not long ago to a bunch of lumbernren, and his subject was timber, and he made the very interesting statement that there is more timber standing in the forests of this country today than has been cut since the Revolutionary War, and that well advertised conflict took place more than 150 years ago, and rnen have been busy cutting from ocean to ocean, and from Gulf to Canada, ever since.
This way of putting out timber reserves into a picture is a very good one that will appeal to the average man to whom the word'million or billion is very vague when it comes to really meaning something.
The average man knows that the old timber reserves
R. G. Kimbell, in charge of building code work for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, is on the coast, visiting several cities in connection with his work. In company with A. C. Horner, the Association's 'Western Division head, Mr. Kimbell will attend the 6th Annual Meeting of the Pacific Coast Building Officials Conference, at Phoenix, Arizona, October 18 to 21.
knows that the old forests of the east, of the New England states, of Pennsylvania, of Michigan and Wisconsin, of Minnesota, of Indiana and Illinois, of Missouri, etc., have been pretty well depleted. He knows that the timber of the South has been going fast, and hears that it will soon be gone.
And he naturally comes to the conclusion that the timber supply is about gone. To this individual, the statement of Mr. Long puts our forest situation in an entirely new light.
You see, there is four times as much Pine standing in California today as there was in Texas before we ever cut a tree. There is more softwood standing in Oregon today than there was in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia combined, fifty years ago. There is more timber standing in Washington than there was in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota combined before they began cutting in those formerly great timbered states.
And there is much timber in the Inland Empire, and in Arizona and New Mexico, to say nothing of the remaining stands South, the North, and the East.
Mr. Long's picture was a very interesting one, and should be widely distributed.
Gentlemen:
Pasadena, Sept. 10th, 1927.
We always look forward with a great deal of interest to each issue of The California Lumber Merchant. Keep up the good work Jack, we need your wit and sagacity in the lumber business.
With best wishes, Faulkner-Meyer

The latest major, national cooperative trade extension campaign is that of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. Some three hundred of the leading soft-wood and hard-wood manufacturers and distributors in the United States and British Columbia, acting under the auspices of the National Lumber Manufacturersl Association, have subscribed a million dollars a year for five years, to the treasury of a united drive in the interest of lumber in competition with other building and industrial materials.
Although many of the great lumber manufacturing corporations and regional associations of lumber manufacturers devoted to certain species of lumber have done a large amount of research, merchandising, promotion and advertising, it has been found that such particular undertakings do not meet the situation or covel the field. The rivals of lumber compete with it as lumber, not as varieties of lumber, and it has been found that advocacy of particular _kinds of lumber is not an adequate ofiensi or defense:. So, without in any way curtailing or interfering with their particular trade extension enterprises, the lum-bermen have undertaken a general campaign for lumber as a whole and without distinction of spicies.
directly employ about 1,200,000 persons, have an invested capital of approximately Ten Billion Dollars, and an annual output of around Four Billion Dollars. Besides being the chiefly used building material employed in the Unitea States and supplying three hundred ihousand out of four hundred thousand dwellings built each year, wood is the basic material of some seventy industrial groups and is neqessaty in almost all industries. It has bien ialled the 'indispensable material of civilization.
The prosperity of sucli an extensive industry is obviously of importance to the whole business communitv of thL United States. The business world generally, t-herefore, will be interested in the five-year planlo re-invigorate thi lumber industry in all its branc[es. The camipaign includes scientific research bearing on reforestafion-, emplo-yment of hitherto neglected species of trees, economi_cal utilization, and such problems as the prevention of decay and the rendering of wood fireproof or'fire resistant. The research work wilfalso extend irito the manufacturing and merchandising fields. Three divisional trade exten"sion officers are being established-at Chicago, New york and San Francisco and some fifteen field 5ffices will be ope.ned in.as.many other cities. General headquarters remain in Washington.
contrary to the nli'"i:I
iro* the conservation propaganda, there is at present in abundance of timber in the United. States, and the problem of future supply is orre of sufficient present consurirption rather than overuse. To_ preserve ripe trees, for example, is waste. In other words, the conservation movement lias'been overdone in that there is a tendency now to use too little wood instead of too much. The result is disastrous to forestry and tree growing, -which cannot flourish unless they ari on a sound basis of profit.
A Colossal Industrv
As the lumber industry is one noi greatly evident in cities many_people are quite unaware of"its eitent, as well as that of the other forest industries.

'I'aken together with other forest industries it represents numerically, the greatest population g.;;;t t" the country, after agriculture.

In their primary and second phases, the forest industries,

dull mornent-entertainment which will be pleasing in its character to all, both ladies and gentlemen. It is hoped that the lumbermen will bring their ladies to the conven- 'tion, as they will be given a wonderful time and kept happily busy during the time the men are in the sessions. Shopping tours are being arranged for any of the out-oftown women who wish to engage in that sort of pleasure. A ladies' committee has been selected who are well acquainted with Los Angeles and will take the, l'adies in tow.
The exhibits on the Mezzanine Floor of the Alexandria Hotel will be of keen interest to the lumbermen-the entire mezzanine floor will be given up to exhibits.
Mrs. Fraser states that this is not to be a convention of long-winded speeches, but short, snappy discussions on subjedts of keen interest to the lumbermen, and that the lumbermen should take home with them much food for thought.
The November first issue will carry the program arranged for the convention.

Every man must know how to fy his kite before he can rail it eurely and rafely over the peak of 6ucce$.
The above thought came to me one day while watching two boys with their kites. The first attempts they made were failures. Their kites dragged along the ground and would not rise, no matter how fast the boys nn. There was a strong wind blowing so it was evident that the boys did not underctand that kites rise AGAINST the wind, not with it.
And right here let me syr men rice AGAINST opposition or resistanc-not with it.

Prior to his Southern California trip, he spent three weeks in the Northwest visiting the mill operations they represent in the California territory.
When I told the boys to run against the wind, they did, and their kites began to fy. Higher and higher they railed until one kite, not built to withstand a strong win4 collapsed and futtered to the ground. And herein lies another truthmen must find the ProPer "wind" or resistance to work against. If too strong, it may overcome them at the start, and cause failure.

Well! Well! The Season is going full blast now. The preliminary games are over, we can get a fairly good line on our favorites and some of them are not living up to expectations.
Flowever it takes a little time for the old veterans to get loosened up, so we are sure that by t'Big Gamett time things will look more promising with the oldtimers and, maybe too, some of the Sophomore stars will prove only fashes in the panr unsteady and unable to stand the grfi. Uncettaintyt That is what makes Football.
Uncertainty isn't so good in homes, though. O*oirg your own home is just as important as winning the rrBig Gamer" and the home builder or buyer can well follow the example of the successful Coach. Varner, Wade, Rockne, Jones or Price would welcorre the talented youngster, but he knows the value of at least a sprinkling of vetetans to make a successful team. They have been through the fire and have been tested; the Coach knows what they can do.
The home builder or buyer should indude in hit home all the new features that can deliver the goods. But if he would follow the good coaches system, he will not overlook his tried and tnre veterans. And Chief of tfiese is his good old triple threat-REDWOOD. It is a three way success and morct Its ANZAC RUSTIC is a foffard pass from a new formation; where ever it is attempted it is completed for a good gain, and it'e an excellent scoring play; its ECONOMY SIDING is alwayc good where a few more yards are needed for a first dovm, where yardc are hard q get; and its CASING and BASE is aIwayE sure to gain in an exchange of punts.

The total weight of this mail was 7365 pounds, a gain of 565 pounds over the preceding month, or more than 8 per cent.
The company is placing extra planes at strategic points so that the mail may be rushed to them when the ports are fog bound, and it is believed that the improved facilities. for overcoming treacherous weather will make it possible to maintain fast schedules throughout the winter.

Nearly 90% of all the building operations in the country are either corDpletely controlled, or largely influenced by architects.' Even where buildings areerected without the services of an architect, the choice of materials is largely made in emulation of work which has been designed by architects.
Hence the fact that our nationwide advertising campaign includes some nine different advertising publicarions, with a circulation totaling about 70,000, although thereare only 7,000 architecturalofices in the country. Most offices subscribe to three or four architectural publications, and in many cases several members of the same

In the last few years the demand for cushion tires has increased tremendously. Truck operators have come to realize that cushioning and long mileage are worth buying, particularly when the initial price is low in proportion to the added value that it buys.
Goodyear has met this demand fully with the new Super Pneumatic Cushion Tire, which, incidentally, does not in any way replace the standard pneumatic cushion, which will be continued in the Goodyear line. The new superpneumatic is an addition to the Goodyear line and in no way a revision of the old type.
This new Goodyear in the nine-, ten- and twelve-inch sizes are altogether new, and we firmly believe that there are more miles of service per dollar of cost in this new Goodyear Super Pnuematic than in any other tire built today. The rate of tread wear is slow because the material going into the tire is the purest, strongest and most resilient that Goodyear can build. The tire eases over obstructions without battering itself to destruction; the very height of the tire reduces tread rvear because the great mass of rubber absorbs the shocks so easily. Abrasion is reduced as impacts are reduced and the Super Cushion does not fight the road.
As for cushioning, no accurate comparison with pneumatic tires can be made because the relation of pneumatic and cushion tires changes with every change of speed, load and road condition. I{owever, this new Goodyear is the most resilient, in our opinion, and the fastest acting cushion tire on the market. It will absorb shocks more completely and more quickly with less movement of truck axles and bodies than any other cushion tire.
When one views this new Goodyear for the first time, its size make the first impression. The new Goodyear Super Pneumatic is big ! The five-inch size is one-half inch higher than the standard Pneumatic Cushion; the sixinch is six-tenths of an inch higher than the standard; the seven-inch is one inch higher and the eight-inch is one and one-half inches higher than any tire Goodyear has previously built.
W. H. Falconbury, president of the Falconbury Lumber Co., Stockton, spent a couple of days in San Francisco about the first of the month. IIe is one of Stockton's best boosters.
This new tire is not a cure-all for every case of overloading and overspeeding that presents itself. It will not do the work that the Goodvear l{eavv Dutv Cushion cannot do and it should not bi asked to do the work that the Heavy Duty Cushion Tire should do. However, it will handle thousands of jobs better, for a longer time, and at a lower cost per mile. than other tires. Also, like other tires, it will fail if, out of over-confidence and enthusiasm, it is asked to do the impossible.
This new Goodyear is a real cushion tire. It is a tire as high in cross-section in all sizes and higher in some sizes than any other tire; it exceeds in cushioning ability any other tire built and costs less per mile to operate. In a word, it is a tire that gives added meaning to Goodyear's promise of cushion, traction and mileage.

Silently we stood together in the darkening shadows of the evening. After an interval that seemed like ages to me, I lowered my head to catch the sweet odor that pervaded the cool air. I looked long and fervently at the well-rounded mouth and thought of the pleasure to be found there. I could restrain myself no longer. With almost brutal eagerness I grasped the smooth, round neck in my two hands and pressed my hot lips to the moist mouth. Draining the last drop, I put down the bottle, and, chewing a clove, I sauntered away."

There was once a Dutch housewife who was unduly arrogant about her clean floor. One day she scrubbed right through the floor and fell into the basement and broke her neck Pride came before her fall.
The loud speaker, used in our own behalf, fills the air with static for others. If we do a good job and someone catches lrs at it, we feel like Peary at the Pole. But if we 'do a good job and then cackle like a hen, folks are more riled with the racket than they are pleased at the deed.
Even among'hens the greatest cacklers are lihrs rat'her than layers. They start by cackling after laying, as all respectable hens should. Later, they cackle before and after laying. Still later they help other hens to cackle, and soon they are devoting their lives to cackling.
People who cheer for themselves are pretty apt to give way to the same temptation; that is, they soon warble rather than work.
A bird sings, but because you sing you are not necessarily a bird.
There is nothing so cheerless as a self-cheering companion,owhose true worth is scarcely less than half of nothing at all.
True worth is worth no less in sneakers.
To scrub floors right you must get on your hands and knees, which is a humble position, and a ridiculous one from which to indulge in loud talk.

The Red River Lumber Company, After Exhaustive Tests, are Satisfied That New Method is More Economical Than Steam Locomotive Use.
Electrification of the logging railroad operations of the Red River Lumber Compiny, at Westwbod, California, rvith a mammoth plant here, is, in the opinion of officials of the company, a pronounced success. While great trunk lines and short lines have successfully converted steam por'r'ered railroads to electrical roads, the iogging operations of the Westwood Company are said to be unique
Over 25,000 cars of logs are transported per season to the mill at Westwood over seventeen miles of standard gauge road from Chester. In addition to the main line, there is also four passing tracks totalling approximately 6,000 feet in length. The electrification program includes the passing tracks in addition to the main line.
Market Slump Factor
A most comprehensive analysis of the rnany factors involved was made before this electrification was adopted. The poor condition of the lumber market for the past several years called for the production of lumber with the minimum cost of operation and to that end a very close comparison of the cost of steam and electric operation was made down to the minutest detail covering a period of nine months during which the railroad is operative and the resultant figures revealed a saving ot 62 per cent in favor of the electric system.
This saving alone will pay the cost of electrification in approximately three years.
Many Curves Encountered
Trains of loaded cars are to be made up and delivered to the electrified main line by steam and DiCsel-electric Westinghouse locomotives. The main line is laid with eightyp,ound rails, rock ballasted. Speeds of from thirty to thirty-five miles per hour can be maintained except on sharp curves. Numerous grades and curves are encountered. The maximum grade is 2.3 per cent with more than four miles compensated against load. The maximum curvature is ten degrees.
Power will be derived from the company's steam and hydro-electric plants supplemented by- thL three-phase, sixty-cycle, 33,000-volt porver line from Hat Creek which p_a::es the railroad at Almanor Junction. A thirty-three K.V. branch line has been run from this point to the single substation at the load center of electrifiiation.
Shingler - Poctr l02l Milb Building - San Frencirco
The transmission line is on the same poles as carry the trolley and feeder wires, every other pole being ten feet higher than the intervening ones to accommodate the thirty-three K.V. line.
The Westinghouse electric locomotives are of the steeple cab type of sixty tons each, on four driving axles. Each locomotive is equipped with four railway motors rated at 200 horsepower each, rvith forced ventilation. The motors are arranged field control and are direct geared and axle mounted, although each locomotive is a complete unit in every detail. The cabs are arranged for'multiple unit operation by means of sockets and jumpers for connecting together their control circuits as well as to provide a power bus line between the two units. Ifence the two cabs may be coupled and operated as a single locomotive with but one engineer. If desired, however, each locomotive may be operated separately. In which case half tonnage is hauled.
Operation of the slider trolleys of both units may be controlled from either cab. The two cabs working in multiple will bring twenty loaded cars over the seventeenmiles in seventy-five minutes at an average speed of. 14.25 miles per hour. An offset trolley is used, with trolley wire at an elevation of nineteen feet three inches above track and offset nine feet from center of track.
Two parallel contact wires of copper are used, each of which is supported by alternate hangers. Six-foot T iron bracket arms with five-eighth-inch tension rods support the messenger wire from the wooden poles.
These poles are spaced 150 feet apart on tangent and curves up to four degrees, and 100 feet apart on curves from five to ten degrees. An indicating voltmeter connected to poles 13 feet from center of track between trolley and ground is installed at the train dispatcher's office at Westwood to inform the dispatcher of the trolley voltage conditions at will. In addition, provision is made for sounding an alarm immediately should the trolley voltage drop to zero.
The sub-station contains two 500-K.W. 750-V. synchronous converters permanently operated in series to supply 1,500 volts D.C. to the trolleys. With the exception of the feature of the remote starting and stopping of the unit from Westwood, the station is full automatic. A selector type train dispatching system is utilized to provide the remote control feature.
Troubles, which require the attention of the maintenance men before the station can be safely restarted, operate to lock the station out of service. This is accomplished through the medium of an annunciator relay. This device is equipped with a series of targets on important devices and shows at a glance the reason of the lockout.
When Wade Shifflett, manager of the Napa Lumber Co., Napa, returned home after a recent trip to Chicago he told Mrs. Shifflett that he saw the Tunney-Dempsey fight from a $10.00 seat. However he had neglected to throw the ticket stub away and it was found by Mrs. Shifflett who noticed that it called for a $4O.00 seat. Wade's explanations rvere quite weak and the result was that Mrs. Shifflett made a shopping trip to San Francisco.
The Orton Machine Co. are now located in their new plant at 390 Fremont Street, San Francisco. The Orton Company has been manufacturing machinery since 1885, and for the past 25 years have specialized in making the "Orton Surfacer." The officers of the company are: C. K. Orton, president; W. G. Orton, secretary-treasurer, and Knapp Orton, sales manager.
The E. L. Bruce Company, Memphis, Tennessee, have completed their new Los Angeles warehouse and are now receiving shipments of their hardwood flooring from the east. The new warehouse is 24O feet long and 60 feet wide. One of the features of their new plant, is their own special device for conveying flooring from the cars to the warehouse. This conveyor will move 80,000 feet in eight hours. The new warehouse has a total capacity of three mjlliqn feet, but for the present they will^carry ab<iii-a mitlioh ait a half feet in stock. H. Lee Carlton, who has represented the company in the Los Angeles market for the past seven years, is manager of their Los Angeles operations, and is assisted bv G. C. Davis, who was formerly with the John Johnson Flooring Co.

On July 13 representatives of lumber manufacturers and retailers .filed with the Traffic Executives a statement covering transit cars and reconsignment of lumber, which in effect urges the restoration ot the "$10 a day penalty charge" as a means of restricting the shipment of-transit cars of lumber.
On behalf of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, W. W. Schupner, Secretary, has filed with the several Traffic Executives and Freight Associations the following statement opposing the penalty:
"The National-American Wnolesale Lumber Association, Inc., with a membership of. 625 leading lumber wholesalers, who distribute approximately 20,000 000,0(D feet of lumber, or' over half of the annual production, is in entire accord with the railroad's efficierrcy program. As is well known by the officrals of the American Railway Association, our members -have effectively cooperated in the effort to make the best use of the transportatiori facifities of the country.- This..is especially so in. distributing the produots of thousands of so-called smatl unorganized miils i,ho depend upon the wholesaler for keeping them rnformed as to marlieting ind transportation-conditions. Needless to say we are at all times-ready to broaden this cooperation.
"Much of the statement filed with you by the lumber represen- tatives on July 13 pertarns to the traniit cai and. in opposirs the recommendation for the restoration of the penaity, w-e- desiie to make clear that we are neither advocating nor opposing the prac- tice of transit car shipments. Furthermore. wi - do not believe th.e. penalty will accomplish the purpose sought by the retailers. This is not a transit car matter and we respeciully iubm.t that the Traffic Executives are not concerned with iny difference of opinion within the lumber industry regarding such- shipments, and that their interejt in the penaity must be considered by 'them only from a traffic standpoint, and as to whether an emeigency exists to an extent warranting a penalty as a means of removing any existing congestion at reconsigning. points, and to releas. .quiF-.ni which may be held up by such congestion.
"Regardless of one's views on transit cars, permit us to state !h9V can be sold only as they find a market and in the lumber industry. this market consists of retail lumber dealers who purchase these shipments for good and sufficient reasons of their owrr. Thev are, moreover,._practically the only outlet for such business; they can if they-will_. refuse.to buy transit cars insist upon mill' ship-- ment, and thereby re.strict their use to that extent. We, therefore, feel the retailers should not confuse the issue of penalizing the whole
lumber industry's use of the reconsignment privilege with an unrelated matter which they themselves cjrn control.
"1'he reconsignment of shipments is an established practice in our transportation system and, through the encouragemedt of the railroads themselves, it is very generally used by many_ commodities. It carries a charge irytrictt ttai 6een fodnd tair ind eduitable by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and is so coirsidered by the railroads. It assists in the more normal flow of traffic, particrilarly with long haul carriers. Present demurrage rates more than amply compensate the railroads in case of delay in moving reconsigned shipments, and these rates, with the reconsignment charge, are now so high as to make it most unprofitable to hold shipments at reconsigning points beyond the free period allowed.
"The Traffic Executives will not. of course. overlook the fact that on transcontinental shipments of lumber they are competing with vessels through the Panama Canal which either discharge at Eastern distributing yards for motor truck delivery, or for short back hauls, whereas on all-rail movements with the reconsigning practice, a much greater railroad income from lumber is obtained.
"It must also be recognized that during a long period of years the business of marketing shingles from the West Coast has depended upon the reconsignment custom, and that the trade relies upon this method of distribution for replenish.ing its supply of shingles.
"The reconsignment practice is used by many commodities and we fail to see how it can be consistently urged that the lumber industry should be singled out for discrimination when there is no reason for penalizing reconsigned shipments as a class. On the highest authority we maintain there is no congestion at reconsigrring points warranting an investigation along the lines recommended in the statement filed by the lumber representatives, and. we call your attention to the statehent of Mr. R. H. Aishton, President of the American Railway Association, at Montreal, as published on September 13, in which he says, "Despite the unprece- rlented volume of freight traffic handled by the railroads in thi first six months of this year, there is a very satisfactory condition of transportation service. Only a few local instances of congestion or accumulation have occurred, with almost a complete absence of car shortage. This latter item is the more remarkable when we consider that in point of numbers there has been practically no incre4se in the total freight-car ownership of the country during 1926 and, 1927, as compared with earlier years of much lighter traffic *'hen car shortage were expected annually at the great crop-moving season "

(Continued from Page 49) ciation on September 72, 1927, the Car Service Division stated that the condition of freight cars and locomotives is the "best over any of the post-war years, while the general transportation situation, so far as operation is concerned, is highly satisfactory."
"Frirthermore, on Aueust i2. 1927, the National-American Wholesale Lurnber Association addressed a letter to Mr. M. J. Gormley, Chairman of the Car Service Division of the American Railwav Association, inquiring whether there was any detention at reconsiinins points warranting the restoration of the penalty, and on Ausirst 15he stated:'While no recent detailed checks have been made iv this organization to determine this factor, there appears to be nbthing in our records indicating that at the present time there is either an excessive number of cars so held or that cars awaiting reconsignment are being excessivety delayed."
"We would therefore respectfully submit that the retail lumber industry itself is in position to contr6l the, question raised on transit cars; that any effort to penalize the whole lumber.industry as proposed would be unnecessanly discriminatory, and that. in any event, is shown by the statementi from the American Railwlv Association, there -is no congestion warranting the restoration of the penalty."
