Northwest Lumbermen Look Over Lumber Situation in Southern California

A committee from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, including C. G. Kinney, Clark & Wilson Lurnber Co., Linnton, Ore.; Corydon Wagner, St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma, Wash.; Grant Robertson, Portiancl Lumber Mills, Portland, Ore., Secretary-Manager, Col. \\'. B. Greeley and L. A. Nelson of the Association, Seattle, Wash.; and T. C. Combs and A. A. Kayser, the Association's Los Angeles representatives, met with the members of the Southern California Wholesale Lumber Association. at the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles, Tuesday morning, October 25. There was a large attendance.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss grade-marking and the furtherance o{ the use of No. 3 common, partictrlarly dimension, in the Southern California market.

The committee also met with the directors of the Lumber & Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles; F.H.A. officials, and made field trips to Los Angeles Harbor ancl residential construction areas.

Looks like the lumber market, hardwood, softwood, allwood, is booming and zooming all over the country. Looks like it might be just starting, too. I'm not predicting, but it looks that waY' * * >k

Just read another quotation from Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party, that deserves quotation: "ft is incumbent on every generation," wrote Jefferson, ,,to pay its own debts as it goes. This principle, if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the world. I place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared."

No,rv we are in trr" *iJrt ln in" footba[ season. Football pervades the air, monopolizes the conversation, takes our mind off sordid things like politics and war. In that way football is of great benefit to the public at large. It gets folks' minds off their troubles. Football is great, both for those who play it, and for those who watch it. ,k >t {<

For those young men who play it, it is far more than a developer of speed, a builder of muscle, an incentive to rapid thinking. It is very decidedly a character builder. It teaches young men the value of things they can use all through their lives. They learn the high value of courage. They learn that you can't be a quitter. They learn the returns that come from an investment in clean living. They learn the mighty power of cooperation. They learn that men and teams who refuse to be beaten. are mighty hard to beat. They learn that it requires strength of character to be good losers; that it takes beatings to temper men and football teams. rf*{<

It should teach many useful character things to those who watch and talk and criticize football. also. It should bring character building to football fans as well as play-

ers. Let me offer this suggestion to you football fans out there who are getting ready for the big game next Saturday, wherever it may be. Make up your minds that whichever way the game comes out, whether your team wins or loses, that you will be right there after the game ends to administer the friendly pat on the back and the kind word to the boys who wear your colors. Too many folks cheer the winner and forget the vanquished. Don't forget that, folks, when the final whistle blows at the end of the game. There is only one thing sorrier than a fair weather friend, and that is a fair weather football fan. Don't be a grandstand quarterback all the time.

Knute Rockne, ,tr" gi"al"t

of them all, had an abiding belief that football is more mental than physical, more psychology than muscle, and treated his squad accordingly. The first time he lined up a new squad in the fall, he started his first work on their minds, rather than their bodies. And the things he told those boys were things that men in all walks of life can well take home with them. For what applies to football, applies to business; applies to living wherever you find it.

The first thing he ..;"J "io.r. .o a new squad, was ambition, and where their ambitions should attempt to take them. He told them that most of the things they read about ambition were pure btrnk. There is NOT plenty of room at the top, as is so often remarked. In fact there is mighty LITTLE room at the top, only enough for those who have the ability, and daring, and imagination, and energy, and personality to stick there, and they are few. "So far as I have been able to observe" Rock would say to the boys in the first speech, "the greatest satisfaction I can get on this earth is doing the particular job I am working on, just as well as it can possibly be done. There may be easier $'ays to get by, but they generally leave either a headache or a heartache the next day." Pretty eood philosophy for all men as well as for football players, eh?

Then Rock would *U ,n"- lbo,r, .n" five kinds of boys Le did not approve of, and did not want on his team. That. gave them a fine opportunity to catalogue themselves and appraise their weaknesses from HIS viewpoint.

A NEW ANSWER TO AN OLD NEED

Smooth to the touch and what's more, "smooth" in appeannce, with the restfulness, satisfaction and comfort such smoothness providcs. Smooth, too, in color effects; the smoothness aids light reflection and lends itself to easy cleaning.

These walls and ceilings satisfy old and new needs through the use of two new Insulite materials'

SATII{C0TE Finished surface needs no INTERI0RS further decorating. but it's already sealed and preprimed to give maximum paint coverage when another color scheme is desired. And it insulates, toof

SMIITHCITE Light, reflecave surface f i{TERIORS needs no furthet tteatment, but can be decorated at any time. Insulates at the same time!

First, he did not want boys with swell heads. That sort of boy makes an early success and is co,ntent to rest on his laurels, and wants to play on his reputation. Dry rot sets in and he ceases to play the sort of game he did at first. Then someone gets his suit and locker. Second, he did not want gripers, kickers, complainers. No organization can afford a chronic kicker, because that germ is infectious. And some day he comes to the training quarters and finds someone else wearing his suit.

d<**

The third boy Rock did not like was the quitter. The quitter is the fellow who wants to play, wants to be a football hero, but is not willing to pay the high price demanded. Rock used to tell the first squad that that was the time for the quitter to quit, and not wait until he had worried the coaches and team for a while. Fourth, he would irot stand for dissipation, either physically or emotionally. Boys who waste a lot of their time, eat and drink things they should not, stay up late at night, and drive cars with one arm, do not belong on football teams, and haven't a chance against adversaries who do NOT so indulge themselves. Such men destroy an organization, and must be weeded out quickly in order that the team may not suffer. Jealousy, hatred, etc., are emotional dissipations that make weak football players. Look for the good in one another, forget the other fellov/s faults, and thus build for strength in organization. The fifth and last is the fellow with an inferiority complex. Get rid of it, said Rock, and get a superiority complex, instead. Make up your mind to show the coach you are the best of the 350 men on the squad, and get busy to prove it.

>F**

And then he would tell them about the time he got a squad out on the field early one fall, divided it into groups according to the ambitions of the boys, ends, guards, tackles, centers, backs, etc. Then he went down the line looking them over individually. In the group who wanted to be guards there were fifteen big, stalwart boys. And there was one runt. Rock asked him his name. He said "Metzger." t'You want to play guard?" asked Rock. "Yes, sir." "Aren't you a little small to be playing guard?" asked Rock. "Yes, sir," said the runt, "BUT I'M A LITTLE ROUGH, TOO." He became one of the greatest guards in Notre Dame history. Two hundred pound opponents were just meat for his chopping block. No inferiority complex there. And no swell head. Just a guy who knew his stuff.

"Ambition," Rock ard n* blyr, ",t ", is, the right sort of ambition and the kind that counts most on football squads, means that you must have the ability to cooperate with the men around you, the men wo,rking with you. It is my observation that the ability to cooperate is more

essential than personal prowess. In this day and age, no individual stands alone any rylsre, and that is particularly true in football teams." And Rock would warn the boys about getting the swellhead-"elephantiasis of the occipital lobe" he called it-and told them that it is a very dangerous malady, rendering the victim practically useless as a football player until he recovers. For this disease Rock used to apply the serum treatment, which consisted of the ridicule of his teammates, the student body, and his best girl. This serum usually reduced the fever and the swelling. *rF*

Rockne enforced the rule that no organization is safe where one or two men get all the spotlight, and the rest of the team did the chores. He wanted every player to take his part with the chores. When he found a player looking too often at the grandstand, he would secretly hang up a sign in the boy's locker, that read: "Success is based on what you do, not how you look." He found that a most potent medici.ne.

One of the great roo,J"rr*rrJries of all times is one I enjoyed telling for many years about those two giants of Notre Dame, Carideo and "Jumping" Joe Savoldi. The Iatter was notoriously temperamental, often sulked during a game, and gave his great quarterback friend Carideo plenty of trouble. One day Savoldi was in one of his blackest moods, and no matter where they tried him he failed to make any noteworthy gains. He was thrown many times for losses, and the Notre Dame fans became tragic as the last quarter came, there was no score on either side, and Savoldi refused to wake up. There was just two minutes left to play. It was Notre Dame's ball in the middle of the field, when Carideo took time out. He grabbed Savoldi by the arm, pulled him back ten yards from the squads, and then started a long conference in which Carideo did all the talking. The crowd could see his arms waving in dramatic gestures as he talked.

All of a sudden, ", .n;*,lnJn"a been touched with the business end of a livewire, Savoldi rushed back to his position behind the line. Carideo passed him the ball and he started like a thunderbolt through the opposing team. He knocked some over, stiff-armed others, dodged, twisted, bumped, bucked, and landed like a human catapult back of the opponent's line for a touchdown. The game was won. When the whistle blew, a crowd of Notre Dame supporters demanded of Carideo that he tell them what had worked the sudden transformation and electrified Savoldi, and Carideo told them: "f say to heem, I say 'Joe Savoldi, I ask you for de lasta time, will you makea da touchdown? If you wonta do heem for me; if you wonta do heem for Notre Dame; if you wonta do heem for Rockne; then I aska you, Jumping .Ioe Savoldi, please, will you do heem for MUSSOLfNI?'"

The Point at Which Service Ceases to be a Virtue

r-)lth.

Dy JdcK vtonne

One oI our moat expensive business luxuries is over-cnxiety to outstrip our competitor-go just c little lcrther thcm he does. This is p<rrticulcrly true in the line ol building "service" qs we hcve come to know cnd ccrll it.

Now, this iourntrl hcrs been precching building service since its first issue, but we hcrve long cgo come to reqlize thcrt building senrice is cr commodity thcrt must be wisely crnd intelligenth hcrndled cnd dispensed. In ltrct, building service is wise or loolish, depending entirely on how you interpret the term, cnd incorporcrie it into your business.

All going crnd growing crnd worthwhile concerns must use building service. And it is onlv when they misuse it thcrt it becomes c licbility, rcther thcn an csset. And its misuse most lrequently comes cbout through the urge oI over-enthusicrstic competition

The decrdline is ecrsily eEtablished to one who knows his business. So long qs your service is mcking you money, it is being wisely hcnrdled. When you lind it ecting into your gross profits is the time to cqll c halt, qnd when thcrt time comes you glenerclly discover thcrt you hcrve been giving too mcny things for nothing.

And service does NOT mecm thcrt you cre to give your stock in trcrde trway, wheiher thcrt stock consists of building mctericrl, or the knowledge oI how to hcrndle crnd use thqt mcteriql.

For instcrnce: The olher dcry c lriend of mine c<rme to me reioicing. He hcrd'bought cr ccrr, needed a gqrqge, qrrd wcs lcirly ticHed over the "building service" he hcrd discovered, <rnd the discovery ol which lightened his mind clong building lines.

He scrid to me: "This mcn not only sold me the mcrtericls, but he sold me the completed building, cnd lelt me no worries ct all. He puts up the gqrage, puts ia the doors and windows, lcys the concrete floor, and puts the coats of pcrint on the building, crnd I pay him the flct price crgreed upon. I ccll thcrt service."

Now, thqt sqlesmcn hcdn't GI-N him cnything. He undoubtedly hcd included in his price <rll the mcrterials, the lcrbor, the cost ol over-seeing the iob, crnd a profit on the whole proposition. He didn't give crwcy thcrt service the man wcrs so tickled ct getting. The chcrnces qre he made q better profit on the service thcnr he did on the mcrterisl. But he delighted his customer.

And THAT is the ideq thct should be behind cril building service. The service should not come OUT oI your profit. It should INCREASE thcrt profit. And when it doesn't you hcrven't properly understood the mecming oI the term.

When you deliver goods, lor instance, within q recrsonqble radius oI your ycrrd, you qre perIorming <r service, qnd cre undoubtedly chcrging lor thct service. But iI you deliver the goods mqny miles lcrther cwcry, ct the scme price, you cre doing cr foolish service, crnd throwing qway your righilul profits.

They scry thct there is cr point where "pctience ceqses to be c virtue." True enough. And the sqme ihing ccn be just crs truthfully scrid oI service.

IF IT DOESN'T PAY BOTH T}IE BTITER AND SEIJ.ER_IT ISN'T SERVICE. GET THE POINT?

Parson Simpkin Reunion Held October 8-9

There was a record attendance of 8O at the "Parson" Simpkin Memorial reunion, held at the Parson Peter A. Simpkin Sequoia in Calaveras State Park, October 8 and 9. This number included 56 lumbermen with their wives and friends and 24 members of the C.C.C. camp located in the park.

The reunion was sponsored by Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 of Oakland, with Bert E. Bryan acting as chairman. Central Valley Hoo-Hoo Club No. 62 assisted in making the affair a success. Charlie Bird of Stockton did a fine job in handling reservations, and getting the ground work done. The program was one of the finest presented to date.

Following the dinner at the Big Trees Hotel on Saturday evening Carl R. Moore spoke on "Reorganization of International Hoo-Hoo." R. L. "Dick" Ustick led the campfire program.

Several poems of Adeline Merriam Conner were read, and Mrs. Conner was pr,oclaimed by all those assembled as the honorary Poet Laureate of the lumber industry. Bert Bryan opened the service at the Memorial tree at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, and asked Dick Ustick to read an invocation once used by the Parson. Mr. Bryan then

sketched briefly the Parson's association with the lumber industry.

Lon Starr of Berkeley, accompanied by Mrs. Starr on the piano, sang Joyce Kilmer's "Trees," and "Hills of Home."

Frank W. Trower paid a tribute to the late Douglas Malloch, the Lumberman Poet, and he read Malloch's poem "Today." R. O. Wilson real Malloch's poem "The Parson," and Jas. B. Overcast read Malloch's "Brotherhood of the Forest."

The speaker of the day, Professor Woodbridge Metcalf, took as his topic "Trees and Men."

Joseph Simpkin, a son of the Parson, was present with his family and spoke briefly.

THE FRIEND WHO JUST STANDS BY

When trouble comes your soul to try, You love the friend who just "stands by." Perhaps there's nothing he can do, The thing is strictly up to you; For there are troubles all your own, And paths the soul must tread alone; Times when love can't smooth the road, Nor friendship lift the heavy load.

But just to know you have a friend Who will "stand by" until the end, Whose sympathy through all endures, Whose warm handclasp is always yours, It helps, some way, to pull you through, Although there's nothing he can do. And so, with fervent heart you cry, "God bless the friend who just stands by."

-Mrs. Bertye Y. Williams.

MAKES PERFECT

"You cough more easily this morning," said the Doctor, as he sat down by the patient's bedside.

"I should," said the sick man, dryly. "I'practiced twelve hours last night."

DEPENDABILITY

Dependability is one of the choicest virtues to possess, and the man or woman who lacks it is a mighty good person to steer clear of. A person may have many minor faults that we can laugh off and overlook, but by the great horn spoon if we are not able to depend on them, they may take one side of the street, and we will take the other. If you have a boy, and you find, as you sometimes will, that you cannot teach him everything that you would Iike him to know, for the love you bear him teach him one thing-dependability.

WHAT MONEY CAN'T

It's a good thing to have the money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.-George Horace Lorimer.

IT TAKES SO LITTLE

It takes so little to make us glad, Just the cheering clasp of a friendly hand, Just a word from one who can understand, And we finish the task we long had planned, And we lose the doubt and fear we had, So little it takes to make us glad.

MISSED

"I shall miss you while you are on your hunting trip, dear," said the young wife. "And f shall pray that the other hunters do the same thing."

EDUCATION

Education is a companion which no fortune can depressno crime destroy-no enemy alienate-no despotism enslave. At home, a friend; abroad, an introduction; in solitude, a solace; and in society, an ornament. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.

-Varle.

ALL THAT WAS LEFT

A certain man had barely survived the depression, but had lost all his material possessions.

One day he was seen walking around down town and every time he turned a corner he held out his left arm. A friend noticed him, smelled his breath, looking him over carefully, and said:

"You're not drunk, so you must be plain nuts. What's the idea of holding out your arm on corners?"

"Oh" said the other, "I'm just enjoying my ride in the family car. That's all I've got left of it, you know."

A PRACTICAL APPLICATION

It was the first real snow storm of the year and the teacher felt it her duty to caution her pupils before dismissing them. "Boys and girls should be very careful about colds this time of the year," she began solemnly. "I once had a darling brother, just six years old. One day he went out in the snow with his beautiful new slecl, and caught cold. In three days he was dead." The schoolroom was deadly quiet for a half a minute. Then a voice from the back row asked: "Where's his sled?"

USG Announces Monthly Payment Plan for Remodeling

The United States Gypsum Company has announced a monthly payment plan that places the lumber dealer on an equal basis with the dealers selling so-called luxury iterns.

One of the reasons why,owners have been slow in ordering necessary building repairs and remodeling has been due to the methods of payment. The small monthly payments offered by dealers in automobiles, radios, washing machines, etc., easily influence the purchase of these instead of building materials.

The USG Plan applies to any repair or remodeling job of $250O or less which meets the requirements set up under provisions of Sections I and 2 of Title I of the National Housing Act as amended February 3, 1938.

One of the im,portant features of the USG Monthly Payment Plan is that it has no restrictions regarding materials. The contractor who uses this plan through a USG dealer has complete freedom in choice of materials. He can use all USG materials or no USG materials, provided the job meets the finance company's credit requirements. Neither the dealer nor the contractor is liable for a single cent in case of default on a note accepted by the finance company. The notes are endorsed "without recourse."

The USG Monthly Payment Plan has one feature that will be an effective sales help to the lumber dealer. The customer does not have to pay a single dollar down. His first payment falls due 3O days after the date of his note. The note is not executed until the job is completed or installed and accepted by the owner.

The lumber dealer operating through this plan relieves himself of collection expense and the problem of slow payments. As soon as the job is finished and the owner has executed his note, the dealer receives his payment from the finance com,pany. He, in turn, pays the contractor. From then on the deal is entirely.between the owner and the finance company.

The lumber dealer benefits from this plan in a number of ways. He has less sales resistance because he is selling on a plan that has become popular with the public. He has less competition and avoids the tendency of the buyer to shop for price. The plan is the best answer to price competition. The dealer is selling a service that offers the purchaser a more attractive and more comfortable home, a service that increases the value of his property and saves expense on upkeep.

The USG Monthly Payment Plan also covers those cases where the dealer's customer wishes to purchase materials and supply his own labor.

This simple monthly plan is available to all lumber dealers who are selling USG materials. The details for securing authorization to operate on this plan will be promptly furnished to any dealer through the company's offices or salesmen.

District offices of the United States Gypsum Companv have announced that their representatives are helping to tain the dealers' organizations and the contractors in the proper use of the Monthly Payment Plan to increase the dealers' business.

Adversity Has a Use

Old man Depression druv Bill an' me slap dab into the arms of Opportunity, which goes to show conclusive, that adversity has a use.

First thing is, we looses our jobs an' can't get us new ones; afore long our kale gives out an' we gits desperate. Then comes a idee.

Now, we owns timber land ,in the high Sierras, which we has never saw; so we concludes to go up thar an'give it the onct over. This we does an' finds our holdin's consists of a hundred acres of first growth manzanity, which is the crookedest wood in the r,vorld, an' well nigh the toughest ; an' a adjoinin' stand of the purtiest red woods )'ou ever clapt eyes on. The idee takes a shape.

'Thout wastin' no time, we gits busy an' Burbanks 'enr -mixss the breed, an' afore you could say "Jack Robinson" we has produced acres an' acres of the grandest timber in California; tall and straight and big it were, like redwood is, and hard same as is manzanita. We is on the right track now. an'knows it.

Well, them big trees grows like mushrooms on a murky clay, so we hires a couple of fallers an' cuts 'em down. Then we builds us thirty miles of double barrel, two way V flume an' shoots our logs down to the mill.

I'm tellin' you, when the mill hands shunts them big timbers back up the flume an' we spreads 'em out on the trillside to clry, we sure has something! Thar they be, all

Sudden t

of a size; three hundred foot long, five inches thick, seven foot rvide, straight as strings, hard as the rock of Gibber's alter, sufface four side an' everything. We gloats fur a spell, an' then gits on with the job. After which we sets back to wait results. We hasn't long to wait; right awaymost, that ornery manzanita strain gets in its work, an' afore the week is out, them big planks starts to twist an' curl like all tarnation. All of a sudden like, they turns into gosh-awful corkscrew's, an' we knows the idee is a rvhing-dinger.

We then takes time out, an' goes down to the city to celebrate. Next day we lays up for repairs, an' the day after that one, we forms a clost up corporation, invents a trade mark, an'puts our product on the market.

Well sir, we been doin' a whale of business ever since, sellin' our patent-Sun Twist-spiral stair cases fur use in light houses, capitol domes an' other such like structures; rvhich is numerous

Manzanita sure has done Bill an' I many a good turn, so if you has a patch of the same, an' ain't aimin' to use it none, r,ve'll take it off your hands at your own figgers, an' be mighty glad of the chanct, we will, by gum !

An' just be rememberin' stranger, that adversity has a rrse; Bill an' me has proved that conclusive.

The Davis Lumber Company, Davis, Calif., has one of the finest and most modern hardware and building material stores in the country. The new building, opened a little over a year ago, is on the corner of 3rd and G Slreets, right in the center of town, and is of reinforced concrete coustruction, rvith 50 feet frontage and a depth of 9O feet.

Celotex Insulating Tile is used on the ceilings of the store and offices. The general office and private office are finished in Knotty Pine. Oak flooring is used in the private office and the general office has a Maple floor. The lighting fixtures are of the most modern type. Starks & Flanders. Sacramento, were the architects.

The store is heated by a gas furnace, which has a blolver system that heats the whole building quickly.

Davis Lumber Company took over the Anderson Hardrvare Store in December, 1937. The stock carried includes a full line of builders' and household hardrvare and plumbing supplies. There are fine displays of Armstrong ancl Pabco linoleums, Fuller paints, a Peerless de luxe kitchen' sporting goods, the Delta line of power tools, and in fact every line carried by an up-to-date establishment of this kincl. A full line of unpainted furniture is stocked.

A feature of this store is that although 100 miles frorn

E. S. McBride, manager, reports that they are doing a very good volume of business, the first nine months of this i'ear having exceecled the business done in the whole of 1937.

Immediately behind the store is a hardware storage lrtrilding, 12'xIOO'. Across the street another building, 100'x120' houses insulation materials, sash doors and panels. Behind this building is a small mill. All lumber is runder cover.

"We handle a lot of insulating materials, and the people of the Sacramento Valley are becoming insulation-minded," \'tr. McBride says.

The company has a com'plete building service, and one result of the extension of the hardware department of the lrttsiness is that they come in contact with more people'

The Man \(/hose \(/ord is Good

Credit means the ability to borrow because the lender knows the loan will be paid.

Credit is offered a man on the belief that he rvill PAY. either because of his moral or financial stability.

MORAL credit is the best of all credit. Because of their moral credit, many men of small means can obtain financial help easily, because they have proven that their word is good. Men of this sort often can get financial help easier than can some men of large means whose worcl is known to be of small value.

Moral credit means that it is known that a man's word is good, and that he lvill do exactly as he says he will. The soundest man on earth is the man who keeps his word no matter how difficult it may be for him to do so.

Everyone who knows him has a good rvord for the man lvhose word is knorvn to be good. The man who pays his accounts, lives up to his agreements, lives .ivithin his means, does what he says he will do on the day he says he will <io it-or bust-is the kind of citizen all employers are looking for-all lenders n'ant to do business with.

And the man who builds a reputation for NOT keeping his word, NOT living up to his obligations-enjoys very little respect from his fellow men. No one wants that kind of a man.

U. S. Pfywood Corp. Announces New Product

Announcement is made by Lawrence Ottinger, president of the United States Plywood Corporation of "Weldbord," a new hardwood resin-bonded plywood wallboard. In speaking of this new product he says: "Mass production, the latest machinery, and the engineering skill and experience of our Algoma associates, covering a period of 50 years, have made it possible to offer Weldbord at approximately one-third the previous cost of products of equal quality.

"Weldbord is a natural hardwood wallboard combining structural strength, water resistance and smooth surface. Iloth faces and the core are of hardwood, welded together under heat and pressure with synthetic resin. The grain runs the short way, giving extra stiffness and minimizing joint shrinkage. It takes walnut or mahogany finish with remarkable fidelity. It is available in two grades, waterresistant for interior and temporary exterior use, and waterproof for permanent exterior use at slightly higher price."

CHARLES M. ROSE VISITS CALIFORNIA

Wolmanized Lumber and Teco Connectors tVill Be Used in Columbia River Bridge

Washington, D. C.-The contract for the Puget IslandCathlamet Bridge in Washington has been awarded to the low-bid contractor who specified Wolmanized Douglas fir lumber and Teco connectors for the assembly of the trusses and approaches.

The bridge will be 2400 feet long and will cross the lower Columbia River between Puget Island and Cathlamet, county seat of Wahkiakum County. It will consist of nine frame truss spans and is being constructed by the State of Washington Highway Commission with PWA funds. Covering specifications are standard for the Washington Department of Highways and have been approved by the U. S. Bureau of Puhlic Roads. The structure, when completed in the summer ctf 1939, will represent a cost of $400.000.

The contracts for the bridge rvere let in three units. The first unit was for foundation piers. The second unit was for the 1200 lineal feet of fotrr steel snans over the river channel. The center soan has 420 feet horizontal and 50 feet vertical clearance for river steamer traffic. The third unit represents the 1200 lineal feet of aporoach incline on the Puget Island end from low-elevation. diked land. At the Cathlamet end no apnroach is necessarv as the hir.'h steel spans connect directly with hiohwav No. 12 at that level.

Snecifications for the center stoel soans of Unit No. 2 called for 200 000 feet of Douslas fir, all of it Wolmanized and most of which was 3x6 inch, 22-foot select structural laminated decking on which an asphalt wearing mat is to be aoolied. The Wolmanized lumber also included the 7 by 8-inch wheel guard and the sidewalk lumber.

Specifications in Unit No. 3 called for 67,000 feet of Douglas fir for the sidewalks and trestle bracing, 50,000 feet of which was Wolmanized and used for sidewalks. The soecifications then provided for three alternates for the main portion of the approach spans as follows: (1) 500.000 feet of Wolmanized lumber for an all-wood structure; (2) 500,000 feet of creosoted lumber for an all-wood structure; and (3) a steel structure which reduced the lumber requirements to 238,000 feet. The low bids on these alternates were: $107.000 for allwood and Wolmanized; $1 17,000 for all-wood and creosoted, and $111.000 for a steel-wood structure. The contract was awarded to the low bid for 500,000 feet of Wolmanized Douglas fir for an all-wood approach made up of 17 bents of timber trestle and 9 wood truss spans of 96 feet each.

The entire bridge will use about 750,000 feet of Wolmanized Douglas fir prefabricated befor'e vacuum-pressure treatment in the Wauna, Oregon plant of the American Lumber & Treating Co. The nine frame truss spans in Unit No. 3 provide for the use of Teco split rings and shear plate connectors.

The lumber will be manufactured by Crossett Western Co., Wauna, Oregon, and other sawmills near the bridge site. Parker-Schram Co., contractors of Portland, Oregon, were low bidders on all three units of the bridge.

Your friend in his auto goes honking past, On a gasoline carouse, 'When you thought you had him hard and fast On the bill for a brand nelv house.

For the auto shark refused to hark

"It's certainly fine to roam."

Ancl you got beat cause you stayed on your seat And neglected to talk "A HOME."

CHIPS FROM THE FOREST

Several million head of livestock are grazed annually on the 160 national forests of the United States. Of this total, 5,600,000 are sheep and 1,280,000 are cattle, with smaller numbers of horses, goats and swine.

More than 100 different classes ranging from apiaries and butterfly and boat docks are issued by the national forests.

of special use permits, farms to hotels. resorts Forest Service on the

Under the Prairie States planting project begun in 1935 the U. S. Forest Service has planted 2,600 miles of trees. Plans for 1938 have called for 4,30O miles of shelterbelt planting in six Prairie States.

New lssue o( "The Plywood Catalog"

The latest issue of "The Plywood Catalog," published in August by United States Plywood Corporation, is in a new form and more convenient than previous editions' All sizes of all panels carried in stock in all of their warehouses are listed in the marginal columns on each page' so that readers can tell at a glance exactly what sizes are available for immediate delivery and the additional sizes obtainable from other warehouses.

The detailed descriptions of the various woods should prove very useful to dealers in ordering panels from stock, and the many fine illustrations in the book give a good idea of the broad scope of the plywood panel field, and may suggest to some readers new channels to develop in their business.

A beautiful Avodire switch is shown on the front cover' Avodire is one of the most popular of the light colored exotic African woods. It is of golden hue and medium hard. A large quantity of Avodire panels was recently installed in one of the great assembly rooms in the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh.

The United States Plywood Corporaiion's warehouses are located in 14 principal industrial centers of the United States. The Los Angeles warehouse is at 1930 East 15th Street, and the San Francisco warehouse is 119 Kansas Street.

PUBLISH DISTRIBUTION MAPS OF 170 IMPORTANT FOREST TREES

Maps showing the distribution ol 170 forest tree species in the United States have been compiled by the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture in a new publication.

"Information on the range and distribution of forest trees has far-reaching practical usefulness to those whose work and interest are with trecs," says E. N. Munns, of the Forest Service, author of the publication.

For the period of more than 3O years the Forest Service has gathered data on tree species in the United States. Lumbering, fire and agricultural development have markedly afiected the original forest. In some cases these influences have caused an extension of the range of certain species, but more commonly the range has been restricted.

Miscellaneous Publication 87, "The Distribution of Forest Trees of the United States" may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. for 35 cents.
