THE CAI-IFORNIA LUMBER IUERCHANT

To Make Paper From Fir

A step torvard the conservation of forests has been taken in the use of waste rvood from giant Douglas Fir trees, which heretofore has been considered a loss by the west fir unit of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, Longview, Wash. This waste now will be the basis for a new industry which will convert it into chips for the manufacture of kraft paper.

A great amount of attention has been given the waste in the lumber industry and with this new move toward conservation, a saving in timber and money will be effected and the small amount of waste now remaining will be materially reduced.

The new industry was assured when a contract for furnishing from 100 to 125 cords of Douglas Fir waste by the Long-Bell Lumber Company rvas closed with the CrownWillamette Paper Company, which will erect a chipping plant at Longvierv, next to the Long-Bell Lumber Company sawmill, the largest in the world.

The nerv plant rvill reduce all waste, from chips to the butts of the largest logs, to a size that may be conveyed by a blower pipe system to open barges in the Columbia River and taken to the paper company's mill at Camas, Wash., where it will be converted into pulp and then into kraft paper. The plant at Longvierv will not be a paper mill or plant;

THE LUMBERMAN'S AULD LANG SYNE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot?

The Lumberman says "nay"; So as we meet in joyous mood Remember still we prayThe days of auld lang syne, dear man, The days of auld lang syne; When boards were boards and yards rvere yards, In days of auld lang syne.

The lumbermen of auld lang syne Were that alone, you see; They just sat still and sold their stuff And gave no Service free. In days of auld lang syne, dear man, In days of auld lang syne, The lumber merchant knew no care In days of auld lang syne.

Now lumber yards are LUMBER STORES, With side lines thick as fleas. And lumber merchants work like heck And seldom sit at ease. So here's farewell to auld lang syne, Our modern ways are best, For boards and nails and shakes aie HOMES. And SERVICE, pep and zest.
