Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

A book of taxbills 'neath the Joshua bow, One bite of bread, a jug of desert water, and Thou Beside me moaning in the Poor Hous+ Att, Poor House, thou art near enough right now. :f:f*

Some wag wrote the above. Don't know who. Must have been in the Olden Days they talk about. No poor houses any more. Many erpensive substitutes, instead. In California they are going to vote soon on a proposition to give all the unemployed over 50 years of age, $30 every Thursday. Now some wag comes out with a counter proposition-$60 every Tuesday. He says he is offering twice as much and two U"tr ro:r":.

*

Everywhere people clamor for something for nothing. Wise men used to say that the easiest thing to get people to do was to vote to do nothing. Today the easiest thing is to get folks to advocate getting so,mething for nothing. Senator Carter Glass says a liberal is a man who is willing to spend other people's money. We are living in that sort of a decade, in that kind of an atmosphere. Something for nothing is a germ that spreads rapidly and is almost impossible to segregate and destroy. ***

The other day there was a convention of Governors of the various states to talk over the problems of the Governorship business. And many of them rqrorted that labor was scarce in their respective states because the workers they needed were on relief, and proposed to stay there. Early in the depression and before the relief business came to stay in this country, we used to laugh at the many funny stories that came from England. A sample was that of the reliefer in England who was offered a job, thought it over carefully,'and then declined. He said he had decided to keep his independence. We laughed then. But we're not laughing now. The threatened permanency of at least half our unemployed is a shadow that will not down. The offer of jobs won't get them off. At least it hasn't been doing it.

Relief will some *i"" ;yi"!t.,"r, back to nonpartisan local committees. It witl be done for three vital reasons: First, to take relief out of politics with which it is today saturated. Second, to save a tremendous amount of money now being wasted. Third, to get the relief money only to the deserving. *:t,&

Can't help wondering if the tragedy that has corne to the Czechs would have happened if their President

Thomas Garrigue Masaryk had lived. IIe was the best loved man in the entire world, among his own people. When he died a year ago, his funeral was a demonstration of impulsive devotion seldom ever seen. No "demand audiences" like Mister Hitler's came to pay him their final respects. Two million people lined the streets where the funeral passed. It was raining and cold, but they stood for many hours, and not a sound was heard-except sobbing. Czechs, Slavs, Germans, Jews, Freethinkers, Fascists, Democrats, Communists, rich and poor alike, united in their reverence for a truly great mans_.,, It won't be that way when Mister Hitler moves on.

"Give a man a home and something to do, and he requires little more," said a wise man. True.. And home building is going fo.rward in grand style in this country. Nationally speaking the home building business has picked up from ocean to ocean with the passing of the war scare crisis. It had sort of flattened out for a while, but is sweeping upward again. FHA figures reached a new high just the other day.

,N< rN< *

On October 2+ the new Wage and Hour law passed by the last Congress, goes into effect. At this moment-its coming is attended by thousands of unanswered questions that industry has been asking in order to be able to properly comply with the law. The administrative body is going to be very, very busy for a long, Iong time. When the law was first passed it was taken for granted that only those Southern employers who paid less than 25 cents per hour or worked men over 44 hours a week, were affected. Already we realize that all industry, ever5rwhere, is afrected to some extent. The full extent will only be known as the law goes into actual practice.

ft was one Thomas Jefferson who said: "The merchants will manage commerce better the more they are left free to manage for themselves. Agriculture, manufacture, commerce and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left the most free to individual enterprise."

The new models t -"r* "r]r, "r" rapidly coming on the market. A whole lot is going to hinge on their reception. And when I say reception, f mean on how manv of them are going to be snapped up by the American public. If they sell well and freely, every other industry will be ma-

terially boosted. If they fall in any manner flat, it will be a shock.

We have come to " .i*: ;"J the motor car is the chief measuring stick of our economic condition. In 1910 a four-cylinder car of well known make cost $5,500. In 1938 you can buy an eight-cylinder car of that same make for one thousand dollars that is at least twenty times as good and valuable a car as the fifty-five hundred dollar one was. That's the big reason for the outstanding position the motor car has taken in all our lives, whether we own and drive one. or not.

>F*>k

In l9l0 an auto statistician figured that a motorist paid about $17.50 per one thousand miles o'f driving on each Ford tire. Today the cost of driving a Ford tire is reduced to about 60 cents per one thousand miles of driving.

{<*{<

If we had been able to cut the cost of Government to the extent we've cut the cost of tires, wouldn't it be grand? But we haven't. Government costs have gone up as much as tires have come down. In l9l0 the per capita cost of all agencies of Government in this country was abotrt $26. Today it is about $131, not including a national debt of about forty billions, and hidden taxes of tremendous altitude also not included.

The banks of the nation are piled high with lazy money again. It is interesting to read the published bank statements in local papers and notice that most of their deposits are in the form of cash on hand and Government securities. The unemployed rolls have been decreased a little in the last few months from the low of last winter, but not a great deal. The idle men and the idle money are inseparable. Until that money goes to work, those men will be idle also.

I was reading the files of this journal the other day and in this same column in August, 1929, I found myself writing the following: "Look about you at the world, and everybody is CREATING something. Everyone is working out plans for making their business more interesting, more useful, more beneficial, to the end that more people will use their products." Couldn't very well make that statement now, could I ? And that's the trouble. That's why all that money and all those men are idle. No spirit of adventure is abroad in this land in a business way, as there was when that was written. Most folks are doing the best they can with the business they have, but there is little spreading, little that is new, little adventure into unworn pathways. THAT is what is missing. It will return. And when it does-won't it be grand?

Fills a deftnite need in the construction or renoYation of a building or a home where convenience, service and cost ale prerequisites.

Calilornia Retailers' Annual Convention Nov. 3-4-5

The 19th annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association will be held at the Huntington Hotel, Pasadena, November 3, 4 and 5, 1938.

The business program this year is so worth while, so packed with valuable "how to" pointers on meeting today's many new problems that you just cannot afford to be anywhere except "The Huntington" in Pasadena on the convention dates. Here are some of the highlights of the pro-

subject will be "Auction Block or Price Control."

"The Keystone of the Arch" by R. E. Saberson, of Weyerhaeuser Sales Co., St. Paul, Minn., one of the ablest speakers in this country on lumber merchandising.

Mr. Saberson insists that lumber dealers are now facing one of the greatest merchandising opportunities that ever came to a retail industry. He discusses the unusual combination of existing circumstances and the new factors which are changing lumber yards from what they once were into what they are going to be. FIe tells yotl $rhJ' certain dealers are now making more m,oney than at any time in their careers while other dealers are going broke because of their failure to recognize "the keystone of the arch."

Mr. Saberson does not deal in theories. His position keeps him in daily touch with lumber dealers from coast to coast. He thinks, reads, and talks better lumber merchandising 365 days in the year.

NEvf PACKAGE FOR SHAKES

Since shakes were first manufactured they have been shipped in a certain kind of bundle, but recently the Totem Shake Corporation, of Seattle, designed a new kind of package for water shipment of their shakes and started shipping them in the new special wire-bound plywood package. As a result the Pacific Coast Lumber Carriers' Association has just named a slightly lower tarifi on Totem Brand Shakes.

Donald H. Clark, manager of this concern, who has long been identified with the shingle business, states that California remains one of the outstanding markets for shakes, and that the shake business is brisk all over the country.

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT salutes

Jo Shepard, of Sacramento, California. He is manager of the lumber business of Friend & Terry Lumber Company, which has been continuo,usly in the retail lumber business under the same name since e'arly in 1853. Few, if any, other retail lumber concerns in the entire nation, can boast of such a record.

It r,vas in 1851 that Capt. A. NI. Simpson started a lumber yard at the corner of Second and "M" Streets, in Sacramento. Two years later he sold the yard to Friend & Terry, which was a partnership composed of Joseph S. Friend, and W. E. Terry, What became of Mr. Friend nobody knows. In 1879 the Friend & Terry Lumber Company was incorporated by W. E. Terry, A. M. Simpson, E. J. Dodge, C. W. Elliott, and John Stevens. It appears that Capt. Simpson, after selling the yard to Friend & Terry, rejoined them as a stockholder when they incorporated years later, and gradually became the contro'lling eleme,nt in the business. W. E. Terry died in 1894. Capt.

Simpson lived until 1915, and died at the age of 90. Now another family came into the picture, the Shepards. When L. G. Shepard was a school kid in Sacramento, he used to run errands and work as office boy for the Friend & Terry Luinber Company. When he left school he entered their employ. That was in 1888. He progressed so well that they made him manager of the business in 1898. Later he became vice-president as well as manager, and when he died in 1922 his son Jo, who had been working for the company since 1910 and knew all the ins and outs of the business, took over for him. He has been managel of the lumber business of the company (which has other interests) ever since.

Eighty-five years o'f honorable service in the up-building of a community is something to be very proud of. Jo Shepard has lived up to the best traditions of the Simpsons, the Terrys, and the Shepards, and is one of the finest examples of useful ,citizenship that the lumber industry knows in California.

Construction of New Road Up Kern River bv Forest Service

By Walter S. Johnson President, Mt. \Thitney Lumber Co.

Back in 1886 John P. Fleitz of Michigan acquired some nine thousand acres of timber land in the High Sierra in the area now known as the Southern portion of the Sequoia National Forest. He evidently believed that the Sequoia gigantea groves would some day prove of great commercial value, for in the selection of timber he included three tracts that contain groves of these Sequoia gigantea, located in picturesque spots near mountain meadows.

These nine thousand acres were divided into four separate lracts in a twenty mile area; the northern tract, containing 3100 acres, being near Camp Nelson; the second tract, containing 4000 acres, being near Double Bunk to the South; the third tract, containing 750 acres, located near Lloyd's Meadows; and the fourth tract, containing 1230 acres, located near the Tule River Indian Reservation.

Mrs. Dwyer and Mrs. Rucker, the two daughters of Mr. Fleitz. inherited these tracts and continued to hold them in the hope that the lumber business would develop to a point where the construction of a railroad would be warranted to reach them. The most feasible route for a railroad to this timber would be from Bakersfield up Kern River, a distance of approximately'one hundred miles, but the cost of such a road, built in the rocky canyon of the Kern River would be fully as great as the value of the timber, and so the years drifted by with no possibility of liquidating their holdings.

In 1935 they turned the task of liquidating this timber over to Frank Solinsky, Jr., of San Francisco, who made a careful survey of the area and in his quest for a customer for the timber he interested Walter S. Johnson, W. E. Arblaster, George Arblaster, C. A. Webster and C. T. Gruenhagen, California lumbermen, to a point of having them carefully go over the area and examine the timber and the possibilities of transporting the lumber out of the country. To make this inspection it was necessary to go on horseback as there were no roads through it. This area contains several horse trails, maintained by the United States Forest Service, hence it was possible to examine the timber and investigate the possibility of routes for the establishment of roads to reach it as soon as the snow had melted.

The United States Forest Service is keenly interested in preserving the groves of Sequoia gigantea and establishing recreational areas in the High Sierra for the benefit of the general public. Mr. Solinsky was able to interest them in making some timber land exchanges by which the United States Forest Service obtained title to all the areas and agreed to an exchange whereby the heirs would be given timber of other species all located within one area, with the proviso that the timber therein must be logged ofi within a thirty-year period in accordance with approved forest practices which

will preserve the young growth and protect th6 water sheds, and that trees along any highways should be left by way of preserving the natural beauty of the area, the public to have available these several fine recreational areas and Sequoia Groves for all time to come.

There was available for road building purposes certain CCC-labor and as part of the exchange agreement by which the Government obtained title to all the land involved, it was agreed that the United States Forest Service would build a road from Fairview up Kern River, thence across Kern River and up South Creek to a millsite located at the junction of South Creek, Double Bunk and Parker Creek, at an altitude of. 4700 feet, where ample water was available for a log pond, :rnd sufficient open area for a sawmill and lumber drying yard. This required a road approximately nine miles long, part of which is up the rocky Kern Canyon, also a steel bridge over the Kern River.

The commencement of these negotiations was in 1935, and the deal was finally worked out whereby there was created the Mt. Whitney Lumber Company, acting as agents for the Dwyer-Rucker Timber Company, who had obtained the cutting rights to some 306 million feet of Sugar Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Jeffrey Pine, Fir and Cedar timber, in an area adjacent to this South Creek millsite.

The deal was completed in the fall of 1936, and the United States Forest Service, with the aid of the CCC-men, built a road from Double Bunk down to the millsite and established a camp sufficient to house some 100 CCC-workers and commenced the building of the upper portion of this new road. 'Ihey also established a CCC-Camp at Fairview, down on the Kern River, where some 150 CCC-men were housed and began construction of a road from the south end thereof up Kern River, thus working the construction from both ends.

Under the agreement it was understood that the Forest Service would complete this road and the steel bridge within a period of fourteen months, which was quite an undertaking in view of the rocky walls of Kern Canyon through which the road had to be cut. The Forest Service used the following equipment in this work: 3 Caterpillar Diesel tractors, RD-7; 1 Caterpillar Diesel tractor, RD-8; 4 LeTourneau Angledozers; 1 Allis-Chalmers Tractor 80; 2 LeTourneau 4 yard scrapers; 1 Lima Diesel 1 yard shovel;4 F.W.D. trucks; 8 Chevrolet 2ft-ton trucks; 2 Wagon drill outfits; Cleveland Drill; Gardner-Denver Drill; 9 Compressors-3 Sullivan, 2 Schram, 2 Davey on tractors, 1 Gardner-Denver, 1 Ingersoll-Rand; 1 Jaeger Concrete Mixer, trailer mounted.

Because of the intense cold and heavy snowfall in the winter of 1936-37, it seemed almost necessary that the CCC-Camp, (Continued on Page 20)

Lreonard C. Hammond

Leonard C. Hammond, president of the Hammond Lumber Company and lfammond Redwood Company, San Francisco, is a nationally known lumberman who has had a varied and interesting career.

He was born in Missoula, Montana, in 1884, grew up in that community and moved to San Francisco with his father, Mr. A. B. Hammond, in 1901. He attended the Gunnery school in Washington, Connecticut, and completed his education at Harvard and Stanford. From then until the World War he worked at the Samoa mill, the Astoria, Oregon, mill, and traveled on the road out of the San Francisco office.

At the outbreak of the war he immediately enlisted in the Harjes Ambulance Service, an intrepid group of American volunteers who entered service rvith the French at the beginning of the war. Mr. Hammond's record as an aviator with the American 91st Aero Squadron, which he joined after the United States entered the war, is well known. He was one of America's ranking Aces, being credited officially with bringing down six German planes. During his Army career he was awarded the Croix de Guerre three times and the Distinguished Service Cross, among other decorations.

Soon after the close of theJ war he returned to the Pacific Coast, working for a time at Astoria, Oregon, and in l92l went to Samoa, where he was in charge of the company's operations for four years. In 1924 he returned to San Francisco, in charge of sales, and in 1936, shortly after Mr. A. B. Hammond's de'ath, was elected president o{ the company.

Mr. Hammond is still a young'man, active and energetic, who takes a remarkable personal interest in every phase of the Hammond organization's activities. He is recognized as one of the great leaders in the lumber industry for his combination of the qualities of graciousness, executive ability, energy and leadershiP.

IMMORTALITY

Immortality is a word that Hope, through the ages, has been whispering to Love.

The miracle of Thought we cannot understand.

The mystery of Life and Death, we cannot comprehend. This chaos called World has never been explained.

The golden bridge of Life from gloom emerges, and on shadow rests.

Beyond this, we do not know. Fate is speechless, Destiny is dumb, and the secr€t of the Future has never yet been told.

We love, we wait, we hope. The more we love, the more we fear.

Upon the tenderest heart the deepest shadows fdl. All paths, whether filled with thorns or flowers, end here.

Here success and failure are the same. The rag of wretchedness and ttre purple robe of Power' all difrerences and distinctions lose in this democracy of Death. Character survives I Goodness lives; Love is immortal.-By Col. Robert G. Ingersoll.

THOUGHT IT WAS A CREDICK STORE

Mose became heir to a few hundred dollars and immediately went down town to a grocery store where he had been trading, and paid an account of long standing, in full. Then he strolled on down the street, went into another grocery and bought a big bill of groceries and paid cash for them.

The first grocer, who had been charging him so long, heard about it and called him to account.

"Mose," he said, "what kind of a nigger are you' anyway? When you are poor and need credit' I let you have the groceries you need to keep your worthless hide together, and then when you get a lot of cash money you go over to my competitor and buy a whale of a lot of groceries for cash."

"Good Lawd, Mistah Jackson," he said in deep earnestness; "Ah nevah knowed you sold groceries fo' cash."

established on South Creek, be abandoned as there appeared no way to get food to the men. The only means of communication was the use of a field radio receiving and sending set of the type used by the United States Forest Service. Food was brought to the men on mule back up the snow covered horse trails from Fairview, making the journey most difficult and dangerous. Nevertheless, the men stayed through the winter in the South Creek Camp, and just as quickly as the weather thawed out, were again at work with tractors, air compressors and drilling outfits, blasting out the rocks and shaping up the road. The cold was so severe during the winter that hundreds of deer were frozen to death in the area, many of them perished in trying to swim across the partly frozen Kern River in their efforts to reach feed in the lower country.

The construction of the steel bridge was commenced in the spring of. 1937 and was completed on August 15, 1937. Tt is anchored to rock on both approaches, is 60 feet above the river, with a clear span of 150 feet and a total length of 37O feet and a n'idth of 20 feet. The roadway is 18 feet wide with no adverse grade more than 7 per cent for northbound traffic or 4 per cent fo.r southbound traffic and no curves less than 100 feet radius.

The formal dedication marking the completion of this bridge and road was held on August 15,1937, under the sponsorship of the Porterville Chamber of Commerce. The long procession of cars moving slowly over the new bridge and road that day, heralded, not only a new industry for Tulare County-the southernmost lumber industry of the Sierra, but were leading the way for thousands of vacationists into the vast recreational area and playground made accessible by the new road. Big tree groves, mountains, meadows, streams and beautiful camp sites await the tourists. Camp grounds with the simple necessities will be developed by the Forest Service as fast as public demand requires. The Big Tree groves, however, will be preserved in their primitive state.

This road, while going a direct route from Walker Pass via Kernville to Porterville, will also connect with the proposed Western Divide road along the summit from Ice House to Quaking Aspen, completing the road development of the area. I-ogging plans and recreational plans of this new area are being carefully correlated by the United States Forest Service to insure not only the greatest use and harvest of the mature timber, but also to insure the preservation of the aesthetic and recreational values of the area as a whole in the years to come.

Resnprest Adaptable to Modern Trends

A Strearnlined Service Station

The construction of 40 buildings to be undertaken immediately is announced by J. E. Windle of West Coast Stations, Inc. The first three, a grocery store, service station, and real estate office have been completed. All exteriors of the three buildings are of Resnprest, phenol formaldehyde resin bonded plywood perfected by the M and M Woodworking Company, Portland, Oregon. Three-eighths inch Resnprest is used on all sides and faces with one-eighth inch on all rounded corners. The one-eighth inch panels are backed with lath spaced four inches apart. This backing increases the strength of the corners and provides a surface flush with the three-eighths inch thick plywood, which when calked and painted results in invisible joints.

"Resnprest is one of the most satisfactory building materials we've ever used," comments Mr. Windle. "It works up smoothly and quickly, very economically, and cuts building costs considerably." All forty buildings will be constructed with it, according to Mr. Windle.

"The Resnprest bond is phenol formaldehyde resin which in its solid form is familiar to all, as it is commonly used for light switches, insulators, knife handles, pipe stems, etc.," explains M. Pasquire, consulting engineer for M and M Woodworking Company.

"As specifically adapted to the manufacture of laminated wood," he points out, "the resin is fused into the cells of wood by the heat and pressure of the hot plate process, welding the wood veneers into an inseparable unit. This Resnprest bond defies the disintegrating forces of heat and cold, acid and solvent, wind and weather, time and tide. Furthermore, it

Let Us Quote You Q1'--

is resistant to attack by mold and fungi, termites and other insect pests. These features, together with well-known advantages of plyw-ood ccnstruction, make Resnprest an allpurpose all-weather building material."

Resnprest construction recently completed includes the modern streamlined Sunset service station by the Federal Distributing Company. Resnprest is used for all exterior walls, facings, marquee and rounded corners,

"Just the material I've been looking for," reports C. R. Dillabough, Pacific Coast builder of small and medium boats and sailing craft. This outstanding designer is furnishing the M and M Woodworking Company plans for a racing outboard motor boat, a 15 ft. 6 inch sail and auxiliary motor boat and a 9 foot 6 inch dinghy which the company are making available to all amateur boat builders.

Foster & Kleiser Company, outdoor advertising firm, are modernizing their Oregon structures with Resnprest. Streamlined bulletins for the Multnomah Hotel are now on display and new designs for the First National Bank of Portland are nearing completion, according to Walter Marquis, Portland branch superintendent.

Yates Aircraft Company is using it widely in airplane construction. Recent designs specify Resnprest in all bulkheads, many of the stiffening members, and in wing frame construction. "Resnprest is a strong light material that gives extremely rigid construction and is not affected by vibration," reports Mr. Yates after thorough tests on this all-weather, all-purpose building material.

VISITS LOS ANGELES OFFICE

A. E. Mclntosh, president, West Oregon Lumber Co., Portland, Ore., was a recent Los Angeles visitor where he conferred with Charles H. Ditewig, manager of their Los Angeles office.

Recrding lrom lelt to right,

tcble:

The newly completed streamlined office building of the Lafayette Lumber & Supply Company, illustrated on this page, is a credit to the owner of this concern, lforace S. Corbett.

The yard is on State Highway 24 in the growing suburban community of Lafayette, about 20 minutes from downtown Oakland, through the low level Broadway tunnel.

The new building has a model apartment upstairs which is on display from 9 a.m. to 4 p.^.each day as a life-size exhibit of the various materials used in its construction. This clever merchandising idea has already proved its practicability, and it is one that might be imitated by many others in the lumber and building material business. The new building is the first step in the rebuilding of the yard. When completed all lumber will be under cover and all the buildings will be painted white with Italian blue trim.

The lower exterior of the new building has Redwood siding and the upper part is finished in white stucco on Insulite sheathing. The roof is of Johns-Manville Salamander asbestos.

The office is finished in clear heart Redwood in waxed natnral finish, with a mushroom Sugar Pine moulding. J-M Asphalt Tile is used on the floor. The counter is of Redwood with knotty Pine base and Sugar Pine top. The ceiling is knotty Pine. Acme Sash Balances are used throughout the building.

Model Apartment

The walls and ceiling of the living room are of Sheetrock and Gold Bond plaster board with a plywood dado. The r.ralls are textured with Texolite. The ceiling is sand-finished with Stuccoflex. Insulux glass brick is used on the round corner. The floor is V-joint block Teax with Maple feature strip.

The bedroom has an Oak floor. The walls have Insulite Bevel Plank two-thirds of the way up and the top third is of Armstrong's Temlok, with V-joints running horizontally. The ceiling is Kraftwood, a distinctive new low cost wood paneling. Walls and ceiling are painted.

In the boys' room knotty Cedar is used on the walls and the ceiling is knotty Pine. The two built-in bunks are of Douglas Fir 5-ply panels, with drawers and cupboards for boys' convenience as part of the bunks.

Paramount built-in fixtures are featured in the bathroom, with J-M Marbelized wainscoting above the recessed tub and the rest of the wall surface in J-M Flexboard.

The Peerless De Luxe kitchen has Oregon Maple doors on the cabinets with spray lacquer finish. Walls are Flexboard with chromium finish. The entire width of the kitchen is lighted with an Insulux glass brick panel.

Douglas Fir 8-inch Rustic is used vertically in the hall, with natural cream Temlok Plank on the ceiling.

The sewing room and entrance hall have Redwood patterned walls. Ceilings are Insulite Graylite left natural.

Interior view of office

Building boards of all types were applied on plywood backing, spot glued as well as nailed. All Redwood siding was applied with galvanized nails. The closets are all Cedar lined.

The insulation used in the ceiling is U. S. Gypsum glass wool. J-M rock wool was put in the side walls.

The apartment is electrically heated, and the electric appliances include a Bendix Washer.

The total area of the yard is three acres, with 314 feet highway frontage.

A complete stock of lumber and building materials is car-

f, sor{

ried, including a full line of Friedman Morwear Paints.

Mr. Corbett has been six years in Lafayette. He was 13 years with the Coos Bay Lumber Company, having started in the yard and worked through all the departments. He was for some time office rnanager at the Bay Point terminal before leaving to go into business for himself.

Born in Franklin, Mass., Mr. Corbett graduated from the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, in 1917. Before settling down to the lumber business he had a varied experience during which he homesteaded, wrote fiction, and had his own weekly newspaper.

COMMUNITY CHEST CAMPAIGNS UNDER WAY

Reminiscences of an Old-Time Lumberman

Bv \(. F. Montgomery President Hollywood Lumber Co.

The story of my two attempts to crash the gates of San Francisco may be of interest to any old timers oi that period, or perhaps some of the younger generation seeking a business opening, and sans capital.

The first attempt was about the year 1890, after losing my position with the Western Lumber Co., then located at 9th and San Pedro Streets. With $25, all my available cash in my pocket, and a scalper's railroad ticket, I set out for San Francisco to seek my fortune. On boarding the train the conductor promptly confiscated my ticket and I had to dig up $15 or be put off the train. I landed in San Francisco with my capital reduced to $10.

However, I had been invited by Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Slade, who were then living in Oakland, to pay them a visit and spent a few ',r'eeks there, making daily trips to San Francisco looking for a job. I have always been grateful to them for their hospitality, and Mr' Slade's generosity in staking me to small sums until I got a job, which I rvas able to repay afterwards by giving him cargo orders'

I made my headquarters at the E. K. Wood office where Mr. Slade was bookkeeper, and part owner I believe, and at the offrce of the Chas. Nelson Company, who had been selling lumber to the Western Lumber Co. W. T. Wheatley was city salesman and Jas. Shultz was yardman for E' K' Wood at that time, and Jimmy Tyson was head man with his uncle, Capt. Nelson.

Neither of these concerns seemed to have an opening for me, but both, and in 'particular Capt. Nelson, endeavored to place me with other people. He sent me over to interview C. F. Doe & Co. who wanted a bookkeeper, but I made the mistake of telling them that my last salary was $150 a month, and they lacked interest. Capt. Nelson also gave me a pass on his stearner, the old North Fort to Eureka where I went out to the Korbel mill to intervierv them but fottnd no opening.

Soon after I encountered my old friend, Arthur E' Little, in San Francisco. I{e vras also lool':ing for a job and he invited me to share his room on Van Ness Avenue where we

paicl $7.50 a mouth each for the room, and twenty-five cents for an eveni.ng meal.

While there he had a temporary job as instructor in a skating rink and I served one day as bookkeeper in a wagon shop on Mission Street, and was discharged because I did not lock up at night as instructed.

I met ;nearly all of the prominent lumber dealers in San Francisco from whom I solicited employment, and finally was given a job as bookkeeper by Thos. Richardson' manager of the San Francisco Lumber Co. at their branch yard on Third and Berry Streets. Part of the same building was occupiecl by the Pacific Pine Co., wholesalers, and I had my first meeting with young Loop, the bookkeeper, and Mr. Swett and Mr. Davenport, who were both connected with the company. Probably neither Loop nor myself had any idea that we would later head our own lumber concern. The manager of the retail business was a Mr. Curtis, an Englishman, and as he was away from the office most of the time and told me none of the details of the business, I did not add anything to my knorvledge of San Francisco methods. At the end of three months Mr. Richardson advised me that he would have to let me out to make room for a nephew of a member of the company' and I returned to Los Angeles without much regret, especially as I had a fond mother and girl friend waiting for me there.

Later on I had the experience of selling lumber for Thos. Richardson in the Middle West. Mr. Richardson had lost his job and was now in busi.ness for himself, shipping Yellorv Pine from Shasta Springs.

My second attempt to invade San Francisco took place after an interval of about ten years, during which time I had many vicissitudes.

Soon after returning to Los Angeles the W. H. Perry Company started a yard at Chino where the Oxnard people were building their factory and offered me a job. I was second choice as they had first offered the place to L. E' Behymer, to whom I give thanks for cleclining. and I spent

SPRUCE and HEMLOGK - PILING and POLES

The new Moore Reversible Cross-Circulcrtion Kiln instcrlled by Kingsley Lumber Co. is oI economical wood construction.

The Kingsley Lumber Company, who operates the newest sawrnill in the Portland district, recently installed a Moore Reversible Cross-Circulation Kiln for drying a portion of their lumber production.

The dry kiln is 26 feet wide by 84 feet long and is constructed almost entirely of wood. The walls as well as the roof are built up of two layers of 3xB tongue and groove Fir lumber. Building paper is placed between the layers of wood and the joints are staggered. The walls are supported by means of 6x6 inch uprights on each side of the wall, which are securely bolted in place. The fan system is placed overhead in the kiln and is supported by means of steel roof trusses.

The fan system consists of ten 60-inch diameter fans mounted on a shaft extending the length of the kiln. In the operating room of the kiln is located a steam turbine for operating the fan system. The low pressure steam past the turbine is controlled from five to seven pounds back pressure and the low pressure steam is utilized in a portion of the heating coils inside the kiln.

The kiln is designed for either building up kiln loads by solid edge-to-edge piling of boards or the loads can be built up with six green packages four feet wide by five feet high. The kiln is being operated on a progressive basis and takes care of seasoning the flooring, ceiling and finish that is produced by this company. The Kingsley Lumber Company has a mill with a single band and resaw and has a single shift cutting capacity of 150,000 feet per day' This company is in position to take care of yard stock, also water shipments. The company is operated and managed by E. D. Kingsley, who has long been connected with lumbering operations in the Portland district. He is ably assisted by his son, G. A. Kingsley. I-yle Shafer is mill superintendent; Frank Keene is yard foreman, and the drying operations are under the supervision of Charles Traffe and Jim Bertrand.

CHAS. WHITE NO\v IN S. F. OFFICE

Chas. E. White, who has been for some time at White Brothers'Oakland office, has been transferred to the sales department of the San Francisco offrce.

Reminiscences of an Old-Time Lumberman

(Continued from Page 28)

three months at Chino in charge of the yard at a salary of $100 a mo,nth. By dint of sleeping in the office and doing part of my own cooking I was able to save $200, and fulfill a deferred obligation to the girl friend. I worked under the direction of W. A. Morgan, who kindly transferred me to the old University yard, saying that it would be a good billet, but in a few months the yard was closed for lack of patronage and I was out of a job again.

I had, however, been in correspondence with a friend who was part owner of the Bridal Veil mill on the Columbia River, near Portland, with the result that I traded him some equities in real estate and went there to take the position as bookkeeper. I spent two years with this firm, first in the office, and then as salesman with an office in Denver, and later in Kansas City and Omaha selling lumber in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas.

I returned to Los Angeles in 1894, and being unable to get a job 'vvas forced to go into business for myself. I had no capital but could secure credit with northern mills through my connection with the Bridal Veil Co. I shipped car lots of Fir flooring and Redwood shingles which I stored in a warehouse and sold at retail, and also worked up a carload business in the San Joaquin valley, in Arizona and New Mexico, later on starting a small yard at 4th and San Pedro Streets. By 190O I had made enough progress that I could offer J. F. Mullin sufficient inducements to go in with me, and we started the M. & M. Lumber Co. with headquarters at Third and San Pedro Streets, with a branch yard at Jerome, Ariz.

After incorporating the business and starting the Ocean Park yard I looked for other fields to conquer. We were doing a nice jobbing business in car lots from the north, and it seemed to me to be the logical thing to have an office in San Francisco, both for selling, and to pick up bargains for our yards. We accordingly arranged with H. S. Holmes, who sold for the Northern Pacific Lumber Co. of Portland, to represent us and the writer went to San Francisco to break him in.

For a month or so the outlook was encouraging and then San Francisco showed its Jonah-like disposition toward me and cast me out. The disastrous teamster strike that lasted

all summer and paralyzed, all business compelled me to close up the office and return to Los dngeles, a sadder and a wiser man.

The recent death of Chas. Humphreys, who started the Clark & Humphreys Lumber Co. in 1886, leaves only the writer and Robt. Cuzner as survivors of the era of the 188O's in the lumber game in Los Angeles.

Mr. Cuzner is still president of the Kerckhoff-Cuzner Mill & Lumber Co., and the writer is president of the Hollywood Lumber Co., which, however, is not selling lumber but is collecting rentals from industrial tenants now located on the property, and this I have found to be a more stable and satisfactory occupation.
