Superior Oak Flooring, "America's Finest." -meets these fivi requirements. Wiite fot a free sampte and con'vince yourself.

Superior Oak Flooring Co Hclenen Arlenrer stated that the reason for the decrease in co,n,sumption was due to the use of substitutes and the increased costs. In referring to'shingles, he stated that the use of 100 per cent vertical grain shingles would prevent the legislation prohibiting the use of shingles. He said that 'there is too much of the so called peddling of lumber; many salesmen do not know anything about the characteristi'cs of lumber, as a result poor lumber is sold, and in this way the substitutes get their chance. He gave the figures on the total stand of timber of the Pacific Coas't, and referred to it as "The Last Stand,". also he compared the physical characteristics of douglas fir with other species. He said that he had found instances in the East where sap pine had been used for sash, and the use of this quality of lumber forr this purpose had resulted in the substitution of metal sash. Mr. that the shingle interests were nst goi;ng to, take the action of the city council as final and that they were going to go the limit in this matter. He also referred to the Los Angeles proposal to legislature against shingles in tha! city, and said that the Shingle Branch of the Association would cooperate with the lumber interests of that city in both money and men to fight this proposed ordinance. Mr. Beven said that the use of poo,r shingles was the result of the many of the complC.ints against the use of shingles, and if better and thicker shin-gles were used that half their troubles would be over. He also spoke on the importance of using the proper kind of nails in laying shingles. He dsked the dealers to inspect the th'icker and heavier shingles that were on display at their exhibit at the convention.

B. A. Hanawalt, of Los Angeles, also .spokq on the pro-

Stron.nach.stated that the retailer should cooperate with the manufacturer and give the consumer the best possible lumber for the best possible use.

A. Bevan, of the Shingle Branch of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, spoke on Red Cedar Shingles. Mr. Bevan said that this was the first opportun,ity he had had to thank the retailers and lumbermen of the State of he California for the grand victory they won last fall in defeating the state referendum to prohibit the use of shingles. He stated that the situation was again 'becoming cloudy and referred to the ordinance recently passed by the City of Berkeley; in regards to the Berkeley s'ituation, he said posed Los Angeles shingle ordinance. He said that the ordinance had not yet reached the council but that it was their intention to defeat this proposal before i( got to their city muncil. He stated that the lum.bermen of Los Angeles had appointed a Vigilance Committee to.work on this matter, and asked that the State Association assembled' pass a resolution against this proposal so that the lumber interests could get a proper hearing before the Los Angeles City Council. He suggested that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the City Council of Los Angeles, and that the being hauled from the'jungles of Central America, destined for

Council tarke no action until thc. shingle interests had an opportunity. to present their case.

Otto J. Rist, sales menager of the F,ire Retardent Product Co., Oakland, spoke on stained shingles and gave tests on stained shing{es with a lighted torch, stating that proper tre4ted shingles belong to Class A classification. He explained the various metliods ernployed in applying the use of retardent paints, and said that e fight {or the use of treated shingles wou'ld eliminate all talk of prohibiting the use of wooden shi.ngles.

.8. J. Boormen, B@rrnan Lumber Co., Oakland, said that every effort $culd, be made to put the'lumber business on a higher plane as it was the greatest business on the face of the earth. He spoke of the Berkeley ordinance against shingles, and criticised the Berkeley city government for failing to stpply the proper watef supply and other facilities for fighting fires. He also gave an excellent talk otr the proper mefchandising of lumber.

In the evening, the annual dinner and Association's First Birthday Party, was held in the Gold Ball Room, of the Palace Hotil. A. B. Wastell, ,manager of the California Retail Luntbermen's Alsociation, acted as toastmaster, and M. A. Harris, of San Francisco,-made an excellent address of welcome. Several short responses were made by lumbermen from variouS sections of the state and an excellent entertainment was also provided. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Joseph A. Stephenson, of San Jose, who made an inspiratlonal .address on "Service and Cogperation."

Following the dinner, dancing was enjoyed by a larlge gathering. About 350 attended the dinner an'd a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

The Saturday morning session was opened with President Pinkerton in the chair and the first subject fo! discussion was "Why An Association." A. L. Porter, of'the

Western Retail Lurnbermen's Association, Spkane, was the first speaker and dur,ing his talk stressed on the savings to his members through their traffic and insurance departments. Jessie Eggelston, secretary of the California Rretail Lumbermen's Association; spoke on the opportunities of the State Association and how,it could function without interferrence to the local lumbermen's clubs.

Short talks were also made by Fred Connor, Sacramento ; E. D. Tennant, Los Angeles ; J. C: Ferger, Fresno; an'd E. T. Robie, Auburn, on market conditions in their nespective sections.

The Resolutions Committee then reported to the Convention and the follow,ing resolutions wrre adopted by the convention.

The convention was brought to a close by President Pinkerton, who thanked the out-going Board of Directors for the splendid service they gave the association during the past year and hoped that there would be a .large gathering at the state convention next year at Los Angeles.

An interesting feature of the convention was the var'ious
