How Lumber Looks

During the week ended November ,+. 500 mills produced 24O,154,W feet of softwoods and hardwoods clmbined. shipped 254,315,W feet, and booked orclers oI l99.26l.ON feet, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association' reported.

Monthly Lumber Facts by the West Coast I-umbermen's Association show the weekly average of West Coast lumber production in October (4 weekg u'as 138,495,000 feet, or ,7O.3 per cent of the weekly an.r"g. tor I9Z6-19D, tt-ti industry's years of highest,capacity-realization. Orders averaged 128,521,W feet; shipments, 14O,621,O0O feet.

The feature of the market -for West Coast lumber in October was a definite letdown in buying. The drop in average -weekly orders-rvas 23.6 per cent fiom the Sepfem_ ber weekly average. The sharp buying wave of the first war weeks has subsided to the tevel oT last spring. The reasons are as follows:

l. September buying, especially for rail deliveries, .ivas influenced by war psychology. Nluch of it was for hedging, in anticipatio." ol prite rises or car shortages. This wave has spent itself.

2. O,ctober buying from Atlantic Coast was substan- tially curtailed by lack of ships.

3. Caifornia buying has been restricted by uncertainty on the outcome of the ."ham-and-eggs" issue. Littl-e building will be projected in the State, and not much lumber will be put in stock until the issue is settled.

4. While the buying of car material and other items by the railroads continues to be substantial, this business is down from the peak of war pressure and is moving on a more conservative basis.

5. A seasonal letup in building begins in October, par- ticularly in the colder sections of the country. Taking due account of these factors, and of normal pros-

pects for West Coast lumber, the industry is now on a sound level. The building of low-cost homes of lumber remains the major source of West Coast lumber movement. The most promising development in this field is that of the house costing $2,500 or less. This is the price rarrge in which 7O per cent of American families must find home ownership. Nine years of building industry research and experience have produced livable housing rvhich this mass group can afford to buy.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended November 4, 176 mills reporting, gave orders as 55,339,ffi0 feet, shipments 84,160,000 feet, and production 79,234,ffi0 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the n'eek totaled Z8Z,478.000 feet.

Strike Ties up Coastwisc Lumber Steamers

San Francisco, Nov. 13.-San Francisco's 'ivaterfront was tied up for the fourth time within ten months when the Ship Clerks'Association went on strike November 10. The strike effectively tied up companies that carry 95 per cent of the business from the port of San Francisco.

William T. Guerts, Federal Maritime Labor Board meditator, is conferring with union groups and spokesmen for the Waterfront Employers' Association in an attempt to bring about joint sessions.

Negotiations are proceeding between the Marine Firemen's lJnion, which went on strike November 8, and the Shipowners' Association of the Pacific Coast. The strike has tied up steam schooners on the Pacific Coast. The firemen are asking for hours similar to those enjoyed by crews on "off shore" vessels, including the watches in port, plus Saturday afternoon off.

Which reminds rne of the broken-down actor who stopped a prosperous friend on the street and solicited the loan of five dollars.

IIow our national perspective changes in a few decades! The other day I was reading some brilliant newspaper editorials written in the "gay nineties," by a Southern editor. It was during the administration of Grover CleveIand. The pencil-pusher's wrath almost seared the paper on which it was printed as he castigated Cleveland for the acts of his administration. And do you know what that editor was so wrathy about? Why, the Cleveland admin-

istration, he said, was about to bankrupt the country. It had increased the national debt ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Get it? That's pop corn money nowadays.

Probably no famous remark in the history of America is more generally known or has beerr more frequently quoted than General William Tecumseh Sherman's description of war. His declaration that ',War is Hell', is known to one and all. But few people know when or where it was said. ft was at :rn annual convention of the G.A.R. held August 11, 1880, at Columbus, Ohio, that the famous utterance was made. Said General Sherman: "There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, war is Hell ! You can bear this warning voice to generations yet to come. I look upon war with horror !"

Those words should n"r" "U*U meaning at the present time, when war wings the world. Of course General Sherman made another remark that has been frequently quoted that I am not so enthusiastically in favor of. He returned from a summer trip to Texas, and made the remark: .,If I oiryned Texas and Hell f'd rent Texas and live in Hell." He stole that remark. General Sherman was a scholarly fellow, and well read. Once he stumbled onto a statement made by Erasmus, famous scholar and author of the 15th century, who wrote: "ff I owned a monastery and Hell I'd rent the monastery and live in Hell." Sherman just changed monastery to Texas.

r can't help wonderr"u ;":cln"r"r Sherman woutd have said had he, like myself, been in Los Angeles a few weeks ago when that famous fall heat wave came along. Some wag remarked that it got so hot in his home there that the refrigerator came into the living room and turned on the electric fan. He was exaggerating; there are no electric fans in Los Angeles.

The history of lumber is the history of a lot of useful and interesting pioneering. Take Southern Gum, for instance, now a universally respected and valued wood, possessing various useful characteristics. The pioneers in the lumbering South saw great possibilities in Southern Gum

IF they could just discover some means of drying it successfully. But in its early phases this wood was positively devilish in its habits of twisting, turning, bending, and warping, because they didn't know how. They used to fairly tear their hair fighting the Gum problern. It required many years of patient experimentation to learn the practically perfect methods by which Southern Gum is now dried fat, sound, straight, and useful in every way.

*,F*

The early pioneers also had lots of fun with this splendid but then unruly wood. I could relate scores of stories that they used to tell twenty to thirty years ago on that subject, but far and away the best one is Frank Bonner's story. Frank is a big, white-thatched, smiling, retired Texas lumber manufacturer, who helped make lumber history for much more than a generation. He tells this story about Southern Gum, the truth of which I will leave to him. He had a big planing mill in Ffouston about 35 years ago, in which they mostly manufactured Pine and Cypress lumber into millwork. A sawmill man at Dayton, forty miles east of Houston, induced him to buy a car of Southern Gum lumber, just to try it out. The mill man recommended it highly.

So Frank bought the car and had it piled in regulation fashion on block foundatiotrs in the back end of his big

lumber yard. Then he proceeded to forget dl about it. Several weeks later it was recalled to his attention so he decided to go out in the yard and see for himself how it was drying out. To his amazement he found the foundation blocks were bare. But all about them there were deep markings on the ground as though a lot of huge wagons had passed that way. The tracks all led east, so he followed them. "And do you know what I found?" asked Frank. f gave up. "Well, Sir," he said, "every one of those Gum boards had rolled up into the shape of a big hoop, and was rolling back along the road to Da5rton, where it came from." That will give you an idea of the problems the old Gum users had to face; and the kind of stories we used to tell "in the old days." ***

Lumbermen are essentially creatures of habit. Many years ago I heard a serious thinking sawmill man address a big manufacturers convention, his subject being the foolish habits and customs of lumber manufacturers, of unexplainable origin and doubtful wisdom. I recall that he talked particularly about the elevated tramways found in most big mills the country over; big wooden runways built on high stilts, traversing the lumber yards, and connecting the various units of the plant. "Why do we build them up in the air, instead.of on the ground?" he asked. And the crowd looked at him and at one another, and no one could think of an answer. ft costs a lot to build these big elevated roadways, and a lot more to keep them up. Plank roads on the ground are cheap, and economical to upkeep. But get this: while no man in that audience could tell who started the high tramway fad, not one spoke a word in defense of them as compared with the economical tram on the ground, JUST AS MANY MILLS USE HIGH TRAMS IN THAT REGION NOW AS THEY DID THEN.

Which undoubtedl, nr;", ,J-.,r,irrg, but Im not sure what.

N. L. M. A. Holds 37th Annual Meeting

M. L. Fleishel Elected President

I{. L. Fleishel, president, Putman Lumber Company, Shamrock, Florida, was elected president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association at its 37fh annual meeting at the Palace H'otel, San Francisco, November 8-10. Mr. Fleishel succeeded James G. McNary who has served the lumbermen as president for the past two years. Edmund llayes, Clackamas Fir Company, Portland, Oreg'on, was elected first vice-president. Other vice-presidents elected were: W. M. Ritter, Ritter Lumber Company, Columbus, Ohio; Swift Berry, Michigan-Califbrnia Lumber Company, Camino, Calif.; P. A. Bloomer, Louisiana

Long I-eaf Pine Company, Fisher, La.; H. M. Seaman, Kirby Lumber Company, Houston, Texas. Wilson Compton, Washington, D. C., was re-elected secretary-ma,nager.

More than 100 lumbermen registered for the three-day meeting which was opened on Wednesday morning, November 8. The series of meetings gave special consideration to six current and important lumber industry pr,oblems : l-Conditions and problems arising out of the lvar;

2-Prospective recommendations b1' the Congressional Joint Committee of permanent Federal. forest policy legislation ; 3-Market, promotion and research opportunities;

4-National Small Homes Promotion, 1940; S-The status of lumber export and import tracle; 6-The proposed National Industry Economic Survey.

The opening session o{ the meeting on Wednesday morning was devoted exclusively to trade promotion with special attention centering o.n plans for the National Small Homes Demonstration-l94o: State Homes Foundations -1940; new policy of FHA; retail merchandising service; building code and engineering problems; the government purchasing program of the United States government; the report of Timber Engineering Company; export lumber; trade promotion and proposed trade promotion expenditures for 1940.

I. N. Tate, Trade Promotion Committee chairman presided and reports were made by members of the National Association staff, including R. G. Kimbell, H. G. Uhl, Henry Bahr and C. R. French.

The Advisory Committee composed of secretaries of regional lumber manufacturing associations met at a dinner meeting on the same day. H. C. Berckes, secretarjr of the Southern Pine Association presided.

Thursday, November 9, was devoted to committee meetings, most important of which were forest conservati,on under the leadership of G. F. Jewett; trade promotion under I. N. Tate; nominations and recommendations urider J. W. Watzek, and Timber Engineering Company. The annual president's dinner with an attendance of approximately 150 took place in the evening at the Palace Hotel. Approximately N rn'ives of lumbermen .ivere guests at the dinner.

Formal business of the Association was conducted in the two main meeting sessions on Friday. J. G. McNary, retiring president, presided at the morning session and gave the annual president's address, in r,vhich a forceful plea for increased financial support for the activities of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association was made. This was followed immediately by the annrral report of the secretary-manager.

An interesting feature of this meeting rvas the opportunity given to representatives of each of the federated associations to report the opinion of his group upon the question of "What ought to be done to meet the problems ahead of the lumber industry." Those reporting for the five regio,nal ass'ociations were Edmund Hayes, for West Coast Lumbermen's Association rvho stressed the need for more intensive cultivation of the small home market and greater attention to the problems of public forestry; G. F. Jervett, who spoke for Western Pine Association and asked for a closer 'contact between the mills and associations: H. C. Berckes, reporting for Southern Pine Association, who asked for increased trade promotion in behalf of quality lumber; E. R. Linn, Southern llardwood Producers, Inc., who spoke of increased appropriation f,or small home promotion, and John Landon lvho asked for better salesmanship and increased promotion activity in presenting the views of the Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Association.

The meeting on Friday afternoon, November 10, rvas devoted to election of officers, meeting of stockholders. election of directors and recommendations and resolutions for 194O.

Nearly half of the lumbermen attending the series of meetings were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hammond

LeIt to righi: M. L. Fleishel, presidenfu l<rmee G. McNcry, retiriagr president Wilson Compton, aecretdry-mcnqgfer.

at tea and cocktails from 5 to 7 on Friday evening. 20 manufacturers were the guests of the California Redwood Association on a trip through the Redwood prodttcing country of California for two days, beginning on Saturday afternoo!, November 11. Other lumbermen attended the football game Saturday, at Berkeley, between the University of Washington and the University of California.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT 37TH ANNUAL MEETING

Lumber Indusiry Economic Survey

For many years considerati'on has been given to the possibilities of an economic survey of fundamental conditions, trends and prospects in the lumber and timber products industries. The current supply and demand information now available to the industry is, we think, the most complete and authentic which it has ever had. Further Federal forest policy legislation is in prospect which may greatly affect the future development of forest industry.

Our industry is in a stage of transition. It is no longer a migratory industry. Its interest in and dependence on new timber growth is constantly increasing. It is confronted with many new conditions and many baffling problems. We should like to see the National and Regional Associations undertake surveys to develop information on which probable future conditions and prospects may be more accurately judged by our individual companies.

Accordingly we ask the Committee on Economics to explore the possibilities of securing more comprehensive economic information of interest to timber owners and

manufacturers of lumber and timber products as far as it can be accomplished with the aid of our National stafi and in consultation with the affiliated associations.

Amendment of Anti-Trust Laws

Until the uncertainties of applications of the anti-trust laws have been clarified by further legislation, if necessary, amendments to provide drastic civil penalties for vi'olations such as are proposed in the pending O'Mahoney-Hobbs Bill are unreasonable and unjust. The possibility of effective civil penalties for clear and kn'own violations of the anti-trust laws should be further explored by Congress and by the appropriate Federal agencies.

Shipping Aids to Lumber Export

We endorse the provision of such shipping aids to lumber export as are proposed in the Holman-McNary Bill (5.2546) and the Boykin Bill (H.R.75OS). We hope that the United States Maritime Commission for this purpose will interest itself in encouraging practical steps consistent with its major shipping and subsidization policies. We urge prompt consideration of these problems arising out of the critical needs of our highly competitive lumber export trade.

Log E>rports

We ask that agencies of the Federal Government con'cerned with foreign and domestic commerce, employment, conservation and national defense, undertake promptly a thorough study of and a public report made on the econ,omic facts and consequences of unrestricted export of logs, and its bearing upon the permanent structure of for-

est industry and employment and forest conservation in this country.

Joint Congressional Committee on Forestry

Recognizi,ng the importance of problems under study by the Congressional Joint Committee on Forestry, w€ have put at its disposal all pertinent facts and facilities available to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. We ask that in its study and report it give full consideration to more complete utilization and more diversified and dependable markets for forest products to the end that forest owners and forest industries, through private enterprise, may deal permanently and effectively with these problems.

U. S. Forest Products Laboratory

The U. S. Forest Products I-aboratory has frequently sought and invited a closer advisory contact with the lumber and timber product industries. We think that the lumber industry should respond to this invitation and in so doing should seek the cooperation of other interested forest industries. We ask that appropriate steps be taken to accomplish this objective.

Housing Program-1940

In view of the continued importance of housing, particularly the small home, as a market for the products o[ our industrl we recommend that the National Lumber Manufacturers Association continue its efforts to promote adequate housing in all fields, and particularly of small homes.

The national needs for housing, with the liberalized

VY. E. COOPER TYHOLESALE LUMBER

financing arrangements recently announced by the Federal Housing Administration, the Home Builders Service oI the Federal Home Loan Banks. the increased activities of the

Federal Government in an effort to assist in the development of the small homes market, indicate the wisdom of continuing the activities of the National Small Homes Demonstration.

We recommend to the affiliated associations and to all lumbermen their active participation in the activities sponsored by the National Small Homes Demonstration; and we commend the energy and fidelity with which the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, its affiliated organizations and thousands of lumber dealers throughout the United States have cooperated in this undertaking.

Department of Commerce Housing Activity

The Department of Commerce has recently renerved its interest and activity in the field of low-cost housing. The appointment of a Housing Advisory Committee is a constructive addition to the activities of other Federal agencies in developing financial aids and hottsing programs aimed at providing more house for the dollar.

The objectives of the Department through techrrical research and public education to develop new economics ancl improved technique are parallel to the objectives of the National Small Homes Demonstration. This informal voluntary cooperation between building material and equipment manufacturers and distributors, and dealers, during the past three years has extensively explored this field of low-cost home-building possibilities. We hope that the leading industries co,operating in the National Small Homes Demonstration will encourage and support this nerv service of the Department of Commerce.

Good Colored Philosophy

The philosophical remarks of Southern negroes are usually much funnier than the orthodox "darkey stories" we so often hear. Ilere's a good sample:

Early this year my friend Charlie Williams of the Moore Dry Kiln Company, at Jacksonville, Florida, was rushed to the hospital for an emergency operation. He got along all right, and finally the doctor told him he could go home on a certain day. When that day came the doctor changed his mind and held him over in the hospital for several

NEW YARD IN LYNWOOD

A. P. Shepperson, Sr., formerly co-owner in the C & S Lumber Co., Compton, and his son, A. P. Shepperson, Jr., recently opened a new retail lumber yard at 3181 Fernwood Avenue, Lynwood, with a complete stock of lumber and other building materials and builders' hardware. The yard will be operated under the name of Apsco Lumber.

Mr. Shepperson, Sr., was in the lumber business in Texas for many years before coming to California. His son, who has been associated with him the last three years in the lumber business was for elght years previously in the' banking business in Lynwood.

more days, much to his disgust. He had a colored boy acting as "orderly" for him by this time, and the darkey heard him cornplaining about having to stay longer in the hospital bed. Whereupon the dark philosopher said to him:

"Mistuh Williams, hit's a heap mo' bettuh to lay in dis hosapital a few mo' days lookin' up at de ceilin', dan to lay in de grave-yard watchin' de grass roots grow."

He heard no more kicks from Charlie.

When their yard was partially destroyed by a fire in the early morning of July 7, believed to be incendiary, Henry Laws Co. of Santa Rosa allowed practically no interruption of their business. Rebuilding was started almost immediately and within 60 days they had completed a fine new office, display room and store and a big shed to replace the burned structures.

The office, display room and store building is 110 feet long. The new storage shed, part of which

can be seen at the right of the picture, is 22O feet in length, double-decked for flat piling of lumber, which is taken directly from the car door to the pile. The picture of a section of the shed is taken from the spur track that runs through the yard.

MEN WHO ENDURE

Let a man fasten himself to some great idea, some large truth, some noble cause, even in the afiairs of this world, and it will send him forward with energy, with steadfastness, with confidence. This is what Emerson meant when he said, "Hitch your wagon to a star." These are potent, the commanding, the enduring men-in our own history; men like Washington and Lincoln. They may fail, they may be defeated, they may perish; but onward moves the cause and their souls go marching on with it, for they are a part of it; they have believed in it.-Henry Van Dyke.

By A. E. Ferguson Americqn Lumber d Treating Compcny, Los Angeles Address given before the cmnucl convention ol the Ccrlilomicr Retcil Lumbennen'g Associction" Ocrklcrnd, October 26-28, 1939

I am glad to have an opportunity to talk to the lumber merchants of California. I think of merchants as people who perform services beyond the routine in a sales transaction. The nature of the lumber and building materials business calls for many services both before and after the actual sale itself. The lumber merchant surely does his part in giving special aids and helps to his trade. When we fully qualify as merchants we have reason indeed to be proud of it, as it means more than just buying and selling.

I note by the program, and am reminded by your genial chairman, that I am to talk to you a few minutes about "Treated Lumber-Its lJses and Economies."

I am told that occasionally the listed titles and subjects for talks as printed on programs are not thereafter to be referred to, but on this occasion I hope to at least stay close to the subject and leave with you some thoughts about "Longer Lasting Lumber."

The desire to build substantially is an ever-present human impulse. A review of industrial history contains many improvements in products and materials-all desiened to serve better. You are all acquainted with the improved standards now offered in stainless steel, aluminum, chromium plate, copper alloys, galvanizing, higher strength and waterproof cements, and many other materials that we see. and use from day to day. In all of these we see the expression of a desire to have things last longer. In the wood preserving business we make our contribution in extending the life of wood. We hope you feel we are rendering a worthwhite sen'ice rvhen we offer "conservation by preservation."

The uses for preservatively treated wood are, of course, many and varied. In your individual businesses you have an opportunity to observe the variety of uses and requirements for lumber that originate with your particular trade. There is a good guide that will help you and your customer when you may be considerinq the subject. "The Economical Use of Treated Lumber," The guide to proper use is an honest question and a,n honest answer as to the expected service life of the installation. What does your customer expect in the way of service life when he is buy- ing lumber for a particular purpose ? An honest answer to what is expected will help you and your customer decide when and where.

f have a story about a farmer who sold his hogs. As he returned home, a neighbor met him at the cross roads.

"We11, f see you took your hogs to town.,, ttYes.tt

"Did you sell them ?"

t'Yes.t'

"Did you get a good price?"

ttYes.t'

"Did you get as much as you expected?"

"No. but I didn't think I would when I went to town." While it is sometimes difficult to give people all they expect, we know that a piece of pnoperly pressure treated lumber or timber, protected for a long service life against decay and termite attack, does give real satisfaction. It will give longer life than most customers €xpect.

I wish to develop uses for pressure treated lumber in your mind by the question, "What portions of frame structures usually need repair first?" Perhaps we miglit not all agree on the answer, but many of us would perhaps say in general, "substructures."

Appropriate uses are in those portions of buildings and structures that are near the ground, moist and damp. Good usage includes structural items that are in contact with masonry or perhaps with other timbers-items such as posts, girders, joists, subflooring.

Treated lumber is wisely used in any portion of buildings or structures that are supject to the hazard of' premature.damage by decay or insects. I refer to those items that are frequently damaged and replaced before the remainder of the building is beginning to show deterioration, and before the end of the expected service period is reached.

In general, such services are found in and around warehouses, docks, loading platforms, factories, industrial structures of all types, as well as homes and dwellings. Other economic uses for treated lumber are found iri outdoor, structures such as corrals, fences, arbors, lath houses, signboards and markers, and many other similar requirements.

The names of the individual uses or pieces such as posts, girders, sills, etc., are not the principal thought that I would leave with you. I seek to leave an idea-the idea that there are many uses for preservatively treated lumberwhere a longer lasting lumber is needed to give full satisfaction to the user;

where the customer changed products because of lack of a sufficient factor of permanence in his lumber installations;

where he does not place a repeat order because his clothes lines post rotted, or his wood gate came apart at the joint because of decay;

where the service condition that you know about in advance subjects the piece to a hazard of decay or termite damage.

Of all the materials used for construction purposes in this country, none has been more widely used than rvood. We in the lumber industry are proud of the natural qualities of wood and know it can maintain a front-line position

in competition with other construction materials.

We also know many services have been lost to wood by reason of fbilure to give satisfactory service under certain conditions.

You no doubt think of many specific instances where a decayed timber, a rotted piece of lumber, a termite damaged frame, has caused our lumber customer to look elsewhere for something to serve his needs. Since, as previously mentioned, you are close to these individual examples in your daily contait, and since the list is not so important as the general idea, I deal largely with the principle of good use rather than to name services.

The desirability of having certain long life in important structural members under any frame building is apparent for two reasons:

1. The cost of replacement is excessive-usually many times the cost of the material.

2. Structural change in certain members due to decay or damage by termites causes damage in other sections of the building. The building settles in an uneven manner--down in one corner; the floors become uneven-all perhaps chargeable to the partial failure of one or rriore important members in the substructure.

You use insulation to protect against temperature changes. We sometimes refer to treated lumber as protecting that part of the building that is insulated from point or points of contact where decay may set in. In general, these danger points are where wood comes in contact with masonry, is on or near the ground, or for any reason is in a servic€ condition where moisture is present on one or more faces or where for any reason wood is subject to the hazard of premature damage and failure by the natural wood-destroying agencies.

As a good merchant, a good counsellor for your client, we want you to know that pressure treated lumber is, for all practical purposes, a permanent piece of construction material. With that background the individual application. the proper use becomes in many cases obvious.

If a user is dissatisfied with the several replacements he may have made, there is a wood product that will give him a longer life and at a cost less than the several competing durable items that he may turn to.

Dissatisfaction on the part of wood users-that is, dissatisfaction due to too short a service life-always invites change, and in the change we may lose to the wood substitute. 'We can prevent some changes for the reasons just mentioned by offering lumber that will last as long as the customer expects.

As I have said before, we all know how it is frequently difficult to give people all they expect. It is, however, a matter of record that railroads have service records covering millions of ties, charts of service life greater by many

years than that originally anticipated. So, it may be truly said they secured results better than they anticipated or expected.

The saving which the railroads realized by wood preservation led to the use of treated wood by other large industries. A great amount of treated timber is being used for telephone, telegraph, and power poles, docks, piers, wharves, posts, highway bridges, mine timbers, etc. Few industries in this country today use wood for construction purposes that do not preserve a considerable part of it.

We have, by past effort, eliminated much waste in the manufacturing of forest products, in its distribution and use. Likewise, we can eliminate a great waste in the consuming field through treatment.

It has been variously estimated that the annual loss of forest products due to decay and termite damage approximates t/5 to I/6 ol the annual lumber cut. Whether we agree with the estimator as to the accuracy of these figrures. we are all aware that there is an enormous economic waste due to natural wood-destroying agencies, and the economy-should even a small portion of this total be treated-is apparent.

Damage to seasoned. finished wood products, materials in place, causes relatively greater economic loss. Where the products are damaged after being put in place, the cost of replacement involves additional loss of labor and time, as well as the cost of the unit itself.

Simple figures illustrate the economy in the use of treated lumber. Thev illustrate also what it costs not to tuse it.

Where the customer expects and needs long time service -do you have any doubt about what he should have and rvhether you can sell him?

It is a conservative premise to state that pressure tr'eated wood will give three to four times the service life of an untreated piece of wood subject to the exposure and hazard from rot, decay, fungus growth and termite damage.

If large consumers of preserved wood, such as railroads and public utilitie's, have benefited by the economy through its use, is there not an equal or proportionately great saving for the smaller consumer?

Are there not many lumber services well known to each of you where it is economical to use "Longer Lasting Lumber ?"

Urges Discrimination Against Pacific Coast Ports to Canal Tone be Removed

The Pacific Coast Cement fnstitute, Los Angeles, in a letter to the California representatives in Congress, urges that Congressional intervention or legislation is required to remove unjust discrimination against Pacific Coast ports in order that Pacific Coast manufacturers and producers can compete for United States government business at the Panama Canal Zone.

The subjects covered in the letter are: "Steamship service from Pacifi.c Coast ports to the Panama Canal Zone to enable Pacific Coast manufacturers, producers, agriculturists, and labor to participate in the $277,000,000 appropriation approved by Congress and signed by the President of the United States on August ll, 1939, to provide for the construction of additional facilities and for supplies at the Panama Canal and to increase its capacity for future needs of inter ocean shipping.

"The United States government owns, controls and operates the Panama Railroad Steamship Company operating steamers between New York Harbor and Cristobal. Canal Zone, and account not having similar service from Pacific Coast ports to the Panama Canal, the limited service and rates charged by private liires make it impossible for Pacific Coast manufacturers, producers, agriculturists, etc., to compete with similar manufacturers and producers located on the Atlantic Coast who have the advantage of shipping via the United States government owned line at rates approximatel.v fifty per cent lower than those available from Pacific Coast ports, thus eliminating, account service and freight rate discriminations, Pacific Coast manufacturers and producers from competing for United States government business at the Panama Canal Zone.

"Congressional intervention or legislation is required to remove this unjust discrimination against Pacific Coast ports."

The Institute suggests that this unjust discrimination against

Pacific coast manufacturers, producers, agriculturists, etc., can be removed as follows: "fntroduce in the Senate and House of Representatives at the second session of the 76th Congress a bill subsidizing the commercial steamship lines plying from Pacific Coast ports to the Canal Zone to enable them to meet freight rates assessed by the Panama Railroad Steamship Company from Nerv York to Cristobal, Canal Zone.

"Extend the New York to Panama steamship service through to the Pacific Coast ports so that Pacific Coast manufacturers and producers could compete with similar producers and manufacturers located on the Atlantic Coast at the same rates.

"We are informed that the Maritime Commission progranl covers the construction of approximately fifty ships per year, and from steamships withdrawn from European service on account of the war and from new boats under construction, if three additional steamers could be allotted to the Panama Railroad Steamship Company plus the three they have recently constructed, these boats could be operated through to Pacific Coast ports, granting the Pacific Coast producers the same rates as apply from Atlantic ports.

"IJnder the present ten year construction program the Maritime Commission, when allotting steamers to service to Pacific Coast ports to East and West Coast ports of South America and to the West Indies, should provide in their contracts with the steamship operators that such steamers as allotted to the service indicated should carry lumber, alfalfa, cement, commissary supplies, durable goods as well as all other Pacific Coast products to the Panama Canal Zone and to the I-atin-American ports at rates not to exceed the current freight rates applying from time to time via the Panama Railroad Steamship Company, the United States owned and operated and controlled line, from New York to Canal Zone."

Address given belore the annucl convention ol the Ccrlilornicr Retail Lunbermen's Associqtion held in Ocklcmd, October 26-28, 1939

Most of you in the lumber business probably know how wood is pressure treated and what treated lumber can accomplish in resisting termite and decay attack. My purpose, therefore, in this discussion, will be to briefly outline the more important phases of wood preservation merely to refresh your mind as to the fundamentals back of this industry.

In speaking of wood preservation I, of course, refer to impregation of lumber by pressure methods in closed cylinders because it is this sort of material treated by the pressure process which has built up service records of 25 to 50 years and more. As a matter of fact, the pressure method of treatment is the basis upon which the wood preservation industry is founded.

Prior to the development of the system of pressure treating the only way known to protect lumber from decay and insect attack consisted of ,merely brushing preservative materials over the surfaces of the timbers to be protected or even dipping of the wood in preservatives. Although it might seem possible to obtain some penetration with these surface applications, it will be found in practice that rvood offers surprising resistance to penetration by liquids. The small amount of preservative retained on the 'lvood together with the light penetration obtained cannot be expected to render very much resistance to termite attack or more than limited protection against dry rot, especially where the conditions of use are very susceptible to snch attack. Such superficial treatment of lumber is now limited almost entirely to maintenance work around existing untreated wood structures. It should not be confused rvith pressure treated lumber as processed by wood preserving companies and sold by lumber dealers.

Pressure treating of lumber is far from being a new idea. It had its origin over 100 years ago in 1838 when Sir John Bethel was granted a British patent on a method of in-

jecting preservatives into lumber in closed cylinders by means of hydraulic pressure. It is interesting to note that this disoovery of our modern day pressure treating process was occasioned by a war problem. It was the great loss of warships in the British Navy due to the destruction of ship timbers by shipworms and decay which stimulated in the early part of the lfth century the intensive study of wood preservation. It required 4O acres of oak timberland to build a warship and the vessels deteriorated so rapidly that it had become a national calamity. The Government sought the aid of the leading chemists and engineers of that day to solve this perplexing problem, with the result that both the types of preservatives in use today, as well as the result of treatment, were developed at approiimately this same time.

Creosote, and oil distilled from coal tar, which at that time was a waste residue in the manufacture of coke for iron smelting, was found to render timber immune to the attack of decay and insects. Certain metallic salts were also found to be toxic to fungus and insects and were utilized even before creosote. Today we find these trvo distinct types of wood preservatives in general use-the oil preservative, coal tar creosote, and the salt preservatives such as Chromated Zinc Chloride and Wolman Salts. It is the treating practice in the case of building lumber to use the oil preservative-creosote-without any mixtures. so that when reference is made to the standard 8-lb. creosoted lumber, it is meant that eight pounds of creosote oil by weight or approximately one gallon has been impregnated into each cubic foot of wood. The poundage of retention in the case of salt preservatives refers to the actual weight of the salt in its dry form, which has been injected into each cubic foot of lvood; such as three-tenths pouncl, three-fourths pound. or one pottnd per cubic foot. The salt preservatives must be carried into the wood in solution form, the principle being that the salt then crystalizes

throughout the deeply penetrated area as the wood dries after treatment.

A pressure treating plant consists of one or more long horizontal treating retorts measuring' up to nine and onehalf feet in diameter and 165 feet long. These steel cylinders are constructed with a full gauge railroad track inside to permit tram cars of lumber to be shunted in by a locomotive until io Som€ of the larger retorts a total of three freight car loads of lumber can be inserted in one charge for treatment.

The complete plant required for pressure treating lumber includes a steam plant, compressors, vacuum pumps, condensers, and control gauges, storage tanks and working tanks for preservatives, a chemical testing laboratory, locomotive yard cranes, and a large number of tram cars besides c,onsiderable track and large storage yard space for seasoning. The investment, therefore, in plant and equipment is one of the large items in wood preservation.

The first step in treating with salt preservative solutions is to heat the lumber after it is sealed in the retort, with steam coils or live steam and at the same time draw a high vacuum which will result in the removal of moisture from the wood. After the wood is properly prepared by heating for some length of time, the preservative solution is admitted into the retort while still holding the vacuum. When the wood is then completely submerged in the preservative the vacuum is released and the pump started until up to a maximum of 175 pounds of pressure per square inch is created in the solution surrounding the wood. This pressure is maintained for several hours and actually forces the solution into the wood. After the preliminary vacuum period the wood cells have less than 15 pounds per square inch of air pressure within them and this external pressure of. 175 pounds per square inch of the solution now provides the mechanical means by which pressltre treating is accomplished. The pressure is continued until the gauges indicate that the lumber refuses to absorb further preservative. This point is reached when the air in the wood is compressed into the center until it equals the external pressure of the solution. The amount of salt retained by the wood is regulated by the strength of the solution sp that treatment to refusal can always be accomplished. The Iumber is now removed and stored for seasoning.

From this picture of the process involved in pressure treating I hope that one fact is now more clearly in your mind-that a definite amount of preservative is injected into the wood so that definite results can be expected of such treated lumber when placed in service. There are many opportunities where you can merchandise pressure treated lumber to your customers on the basis of the better service it will render. and at the same time realize a greater profit for yourself and in that respect, those of us in the wood preserving business are always glad to be of assistance to you.

Illustrated on this page is the "Sav-A-Space Sliding Door," suitable for 2x4" partitions, designed and manufactured for room-toroom openings in homes, apartments, offices, hotels and department stores by A. J. Koll Planing Mill, Ltd., 421 Colyton Street, Los Angeles.

The Sav-A-Space sliding door rvas recently described by Milton L. Koll, president of this pioneer Los Angeles concern, as "the latest and most up-to-date development in the building industry today." This door, he says, has met with instant acceptance by architects, builders, and owners of modern structures, because of its ease of installation, good appearance and economy.

Sav-A-Space sliding door units are furnished complete as illustrated, and can be quickly and easily installed without the use of special tools or heavy hardrvare.

The door header of specially treated Douglas Fir and the roller-ball hangers, milled from non-corrosive metal. combine to make a simple yet extremely sturdy assembly rvhicl-r maintains the noiseless, easy operation of the door permanently.

Removal of the door for any purpose is accomplished by merely removing the stops, lifting and slipping the door from its hangers, a matter only of seconds.

Impartial tests made with a door of more than twice

erverage rveight being moved over 100,000 complete cycles on a 38" standard track, shorved no perceptible wear on the track. This proved conclusively the track's life span to be much greater than that of any door it might support. The do,or units are manufactured in all sizes from 24 x 6-8 to 3-0 x G8.

Sav-A-Space sliding doors are sold through dealers.

4.SIIUARE LUMBER

Saves time and labor

THE ARCHITECTS desisned the p,oiect to take stand' ard length material. So the conttactor and his carpenters made time in placing 4-SQUARE studs, ioists, etc., scarcely touch' ing them with a saw. Similarly, the 4-SQUARE Endless Sheathing, of which there was 7201000 bet oI this improved lumber used on this iob, saved time, work and money.

Weyerhaeuser Endless Lumber is tongued and grooved at ends and sides. All ends and edges fit snugly together, making walls of great risidity and strength. The only sawing necessary is at end of the runs. lt is not necessary to trim ends of boards in order to break joints on studs, joists or rafters. Every piece is 1OO% usable and ready to apply.
