There are no signs of an immediate settlement of the maritime strike, now in its seventh week.
As we go to press strong efforts are being made. to bring about a c6nference of representatives of all the shipowners and the seven maritime unions.
During the past week several meetings were held between representatives of the steam schooner owners and the Radio Telesraphers' union and the Masters, Mates and Pilots' Associa"tion. The latter rejected the peace proposals offered bv the steam schooner owners.
'A total of Z3O ships is tied up in Pacific Coast ports, and 40,000 men of the seven maritime unions are idle. It is estimated that approximately 100,000 men are out of work as a direct or indirect effect of the strike.
A total of ZO2 down and operating mills in Washington and Oregon which reported to the West Coast Lumbermen's Aisociation for the week ended November 28 produced 62,456,877 leet. New business reported for the week by these mills was tO2,839,486 feet, and shipments were 55.488.585 feet. The unfilled order file at these mills stood at 580,439,595 feet.
Lumber buying for delivery by rail to California is active, sales and shipments being reported as far north as the Puget Sound.
The Association reports a loss of production in the first four strike weeks, October 31 to November 28, when compared to the last full work week, ol 179,O53,202 feet.
The Association estimates the sales value'of the production lost by the strike at from $600,0@ to $700,000 weekly, or about $2,650,000 for the four weeks. Half of these
amounts, the Association stated, represent lost payrolls. Unemployment due to the strike is growing steadily with at least 1"75@ affected on November 28.
A total of 39 mills located on tidewater or the Columbia river was reported as not operating during the week ended November 30 because of the strike. 40 mills were down the previous week, 39 in the r,veek ended November 14, and 30 for the rveek ended November 7.
Prices are strong on "i, ir, 1,.*. and the mills have good order files.
.The demand for Ponderosa Pine has depleted any number of items at the mills. A general price advance was recently made on Ponderosa Pine. The Sugar Pine market is very firm and stocks at the mills are badly broken.

San Pedro is the world's greatest oil exporting port. The annual shipments are over 100,000,000 barrels, which represent a cash value of $200.000,000. In 1935 more lumber was received at this port than any other port in the United States. For the year 1935, San Pedro shipping totaled 19,348,196 tons, representing a value of $700,000,000. There are twenty-five miles of wharves, warehouses, and terminal facilities.-Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Bulletin.

ff you go to the New Year's Day Game see how this wood has "stood the gafr" for many years
A peaceful Christmas to you, my lumber and building friends ! A very happy and peaceful Christmas ! ***
What do YOU want for Christmas? I asked myself that question, then reached for the old rhyming harp and here's what I got:
Please Santa, when you hitch your deer
This Christmas Eve, and start your sleighing, Let me just whisper in your ear
This little helpful thought conveying: For painted toys or youthful joys, No prayer of mine you'fl hear arising, But slip around among the boys, AND FILL MY SOCK WITH ADVERTISING. ***
Then, the spirit of rhyming being upon lne, I asked, "What does Mr. Lumber Dealer want for Christmas? And here's the answer:
Send me orders, Mr. Santa, send me orders, Santa Dear, For f've been'order hungry, this many and many a year.
f;m ready to hustle-
I'm ready to sweat-
I'm ready to fight for-
The blrsiness I get-se
Send me some orders, a big batch of orders, I'll thank you, dear Santa, for orders. **rt
Then I thought of my many mill friends, and I couldn't leave them out of the rhyming jumble, so here 'tis:
Oh Santa Claus ! Please set my saws
Efficient and emphatic; So I may then, the homes of men
From basement build to attic.
The trees I cut, my mill to glut, Are sighing to be serving-
The sons of man; so help me, "San" And keep my saws from swerving. ***
The football season is just ending. Football is a boon to this shell-shocked, wearied world- It is a grand sport for those who watch, and for those who play. Football teaches young men the value of things that will last them all through their lives. ,Fo,r instance, they learn ttre fine re-
turns that come from an investment in clean living; they learn the value of cooperation; they learn the great worth of enthusiasm; they learn that men and teams who won't be beaten, are hard to beat. They likewise learn that it takes strong men to be good losers; that hard beatings temper the quality of men and football teams. The lesson the young man learns in football, he carries with him all of his life.

The hundredth anniversary of America's patent system was celebrated in Washington on November 23rd with a huge banquet. A committee previously appointed for the purpose announced on that occasion their selection of the twelve greatest inventors in American history, as followi: Robert Fulton, steamboat; Eli Whitney, cotton gin; Charles Goodyear, virlcanized rubber; Samuel F.'8. Morse, telegraph; Cyrus Hall McCormick, grain reaper; Elias Howe, sewing machine; George Westingho rse, air brake; Alexander Graham Bell, telephone; Thomas Edison, electric lamp, phonograph, motion pictures, and other devices; Ottmar Mergenthaler, linotype machine; Charles Martin Hall, process for making cheap aluminum; Wilbur Wright, coinventor of the airplane.

And which, think you gentle reader, is the greatest of these-the greatest benefactbr to humanity? Personally, I guess f'il have to string along with Thomas Edison. By the way, the committee that made the selections was a secret one, so. that their choices might not be subject to controversy, so far as the committee members themselves were concerned.

I incline to the belief that no list of great inventors is complete which fails to include the inventor of the internal combustion engine, and the inventof of the gasoline tax. Those two birds put the world on wheels. They built the modern motor car, and'the.roads and bridges for the cars to run
over. And what would this world be without them? f esk you?

Hey ! What's going on around here ! A few weeks ago Mister Du Pont was being pilloried by the New Deal press for giving a lot of money to try and beat Mister Roosevelt. And now Mister Du Pont's gal and Mister Roosevelt's Junior are fixing to get married right soon. And right after that we find that that awful Mister Hearst (who was praised to the skies in 1932 for swinging the California delegation to Mister Roosevelt in the dead-locked Democratic convention, thus making him President, and then cussed off the earth in 1936 for trying to beat him) has done gone and hired Mister Roosevelt's son-in-law and daughter to ttln on€ of his most important papers for him. It's hard for a country boy to keep up with these things. ***
You see, the newspaper Mister Roosevelt's kin-folks are going to run is the one in Seattle that has been closed for the past several months by a strike of a bunch of folks who supported Mister Roosevelt one hundred per cent in the recent election. Now if they could just fix some sort of hook-up with that guy in San Francisco who apparently starts and stops all these maritime strikes whenever he gets ready, we, in the words of Groucho Marx, would be "getting somewhere." Let's join together in prayer.
Doctor Tugwell, chief of the brain-trusters, quits his government job to become an executive of a conservative multimillionaire industrial institution which makes and sells molasses. Doctor Tugwell's friends will remember him as the author of those two famous phrases, "the more abundant
life," and "economic royalists." fle now joins one of the latter to enjoy more of the former. And his enemies will refuse to forget his imrnortal lines: "I will notrz roll up my sleeves and re-make America." What a rare gift is modesty ! *rl.*
In the molasses business Dr. Tugwell enters a new school. No philosophy of scarcity there. To make better and cheaper molasses and sell it at a profit, is the main idea. But he will get a chance to employ his unquestionably keen mind for the first time to practical things, and who knows? Wonder what would happen if he forgot his changed situation and asked the directors of the molasses company for seven hundred million dollars to improve the housing conditions of their New Orleans employes?

And Joe Davies goes to Moscow as U. S. Minister among the Russians. I used to know Joe well in the old days, and he was a swell guy. Bet he still is. Maybe he'll send me some postcards of the big swimming places in Russia. I'll never forget hearing Will Rogers tell about his visits to them, or his chuckle when he made that famous remark that "I'd probably have seen more of Russia if I'd seen less of some Russians." When they peel off to swim in Russiathey peel off.
Henry Ford, who has done more to raise wages and intelligently encourage the increase of wages in this country than any other ten men combined, is cred,ited with another recent classic on that subject, to wit: "One of the main things people have to learn is to pay wages. If they do not do that they will never make a market. People who make barely enough to live on never create markets. People are afraid to want anything when they are paid too little." Some day the just-minded wage earners of this nation will build a monument to Henry Ford, properly inscribed in memory of the man who preached and proved that high wages is the granite foundation of all prosperity.

fncreased taxation should wield a powerful lever in making 1937 a. grand advertising year. Increased corpotation taxes, inc'teased business taxes, increased individual taxes, and the surplus profits tax, should all join together to help the adr,ertising business.
For years advertising has been at low tide; almost all advertising. Because advettising coots rrror€/r and people and firms had to ecoaromize to meet the exigencies of the depression. Now, those concerns that f,nd themselves making profits, likewise face the absolute certainty of having a large part of those profits removed from their cash registers by ttre taxation route. No one can escape.
But advertising is a vety, vety legitimate item in the cost of doing businqss. ft is more than pro6able t{rat in 1937 money can be spent for intelligent advertising with less actual COST to the advertiser than has ever been the case befote. Sorne of the advetising cost is cetain to be sub'tracted from the taxation total.
Fences can be rebuilt, names can be renewed in the public mind, products can be publi&d, trade-marks cen be driven into the public consciousness, services can be emblazoned, and innumerabh other worthwhile servic.es can be performed for people with something to sell, with money that would otherwise take the tax route. Lorser net incorrre means lower tax rate.
And it isn't exactly taking it from the Government. The people to whom the advertising money is gaid will build THEIR business, create their profits, and in turn earn money which the Government can collect taxes from. Vithout doubt innumerable corporations, feeling that thrift is to be pendized over the tax route, will seek means of putting some of their profits in circulation. Vhat better route than that of useful advertising?
The business magazines in general, have suffered desperately through dre depression The first thing the business concem did when depression set in was to quit advertising. And now that the tidJ has turned, the business magazines are hoping for a share of returning profits; and that share must come through advertising.
The busine.$ magazinec have a right to expect-{s well as hopethat having fought, bled and well. nigh died with the industries they served through the dark days, their pages may once again be filled with that life-giving commodity, ADVERTISING.
And patticularly so since present economic conditions, coupled with the mile-high tax giant that confronts all industry and business, furnishes the inteltigent reasons previously mentioned why advertising should bulge in 1937.
lumber dealers will make money next yearsome more than others. Thirty-five hundred Veyerhaeuser
4-SQUARE dealers will have a head start-because they are geared to e system of selling that works hard and fast-a plan that has pushed price competition to the bottom of the list of selling appeals and gives intelligent lumber merchandising an opportunity to function effectively.
The Veyerhaeuser 4-SQUARE Franchise is extremely valuable. To a trade-marked line of improved lumber possessing square, smooth ends in exact lengths it adds comprehensive, intefiigent, forceful selling programs. Veyerhaeuser merchandising lifts lumber from the unnamed ranks of uninteresting staples to the level of other identified, trademarked products.
In 1937, Veyerhaeuser will release a new series of sales producing printed plans. Vhen you see these selling helps, you'll agree that the lumber dealer will make more money next year-some more than others.
Has the time arrived when the shipowners, waterfront employers and retail lumbermen should give the public the actual facts regarding the maritime strike? Kenneth Smith, secretary-manager of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles, discusses this subject in a recent bulletin to the Association members entitled, "Should We 'Stick Our Necks Out ?' " A copy of the bulletin folIows:
"Our Executive Committee last week seriously considered rvhether the time had not come in the progress of the shipping strike when the shippers (that is, retailers like ourselves) whose business is injured by this stoppage of work, should not become vocal. It was decided to ascertain the view of other businesses similarly situated and also the view of our friends in the shipping business. So far, as you undoubtedly know from your own reading:, most of the talking in the newspapers has been done by the representatives of the unions. A great deal of what they have said has been without foundation or has been highly colored simply to make good propaganda for themselves. It has apparently been the belief of those who are acting for the 'ship owners that it is better to keep quiet and endeavor to find an amicable settlement than to carry the details of the controversy to the public.
"As a retail lumber dealer, you are vitally affected, and if you want to post yourself with a factual account of the events leading to the 1936 strike of Marine and Longshore tJnions, the Waterfront Employers' Association, 258 W.7th St., San Pedro, Calif., will be glad to send you upon request a copy of 'Maritime Strikes on the Pacific Coast.'
"It is my personal opinion that the shipowners, the waterfront employers and all retailers, who, like ourselves, are suffering the usual fate of the innocent bystander, have been and continue to be altogether too inarticulate.
"If all citizens had the actual facts, pressure of public sentiment would operate not only to end the strike but to end it upon a fair and workable basis.
"I feel that not only on this issue but that on all of the issues which vitally affect the cost of doing business; upon measures which decrease the wage fund and which therefore determine the amount that can be paid to any individual except at the expense of his fellows; upon taxes and
upon government competition with the private citizen, business men generally have been altogether too fearful of stating their honest convictions. I feel that business men must become articulate, must learn to go out and convince the general public of the soundness of those things in which they believe.
"Because I agree heartily with him, I call attention to the statement made by Mr. O. M. Chester, President of the National Association of Manufacturers and Chairman of the Board of General Foods, in which he says that, 'Silence in the face of the attacks being made upon us implies that we are either guilty of the charges made against us or that we are lacking in moral courage.' He urges that, 'In the spirit of true enlightenment, without rancor, or malice or political bias industry should speak. How can we longer continue to seek the seclusion of silence and expect any judgment except that which has been passed upon us in recent years.'
"What do you think? Should we continue to'take it and like it' or try to remedy conditions by helping to bring about a better understanding of what is involved ?"

As a direct result of the growing use of louvre doors in homes all over the country the West Coast Screen Company, II45 East 63rd Street, Los Angeles, has patented and put on the market a new door which they call the Hollywood Louvre Door.
The new door can be closed to keep out noise or odors, and opened to give ventilation by merely dropping down a panel. It is similar in type to the well known Hollywood combination screen and metal sash door, made by this progressive manufacturer, which has been on the market for more than four years, and is a big seller over a large part of the countrv.
All the architects who have seen the new door have expressed themselves as being very pleased with the novel idea, and they are finding new uses for it every day.
It is ideal for use between kitchens and living rooms, dining rooms, nooks, dens; for bedrooms, children's rooms and bathrooms, in fact, between any two rooms where it is advisable to have alternately a closed or ventilated door.
The Hollywood Louvre Door will be distributed through regular sources of supply throughout the Western territory, and will be sold through lumber dealers. One prominent jobber made the prediction to F. G. Ifanson, president of West Coast Screen Company, that the new door will sell just as easily as the Hollywood combination door when shown by lumber dealers to their customers.
The illustration shows a front view of the door, which is made from California Sugar pine in the company's modern plant.

The colored Justice of the Peace was short on law. Not long after he took office a colored brother was brought before him charged with stealing a co\ /. The fact that they caught him with one end of th€ cow tied to him by means of a rope, made the case against him rather definite. When the officer who made the arrest had made his statement of fact. the Justice said:
"Seems lak dey ain't no two sides to dishere case, so I might jus as well go head an fix de fine."
He opened the big book that lay before him, thumbed it thoughtfully, ran his thumb down the margin of the page, and fined the culprit one dollar and sixty-eight cents. The

Not many people, even those rvell informed, understand the mechanics of our Presidential elections exactly. Oti Tuesday after the first Monday in November of Presidential Election years, the voters o'f the 48 states have the opportunity to express their,choice for President and Vice-President. The vote.rs do NOT vote directly for these officers; their votes are cast for Presidential Electors. Each state has as many Presidential Electors as it' is entitled to have Senators and Representatives in the National Congress. Each state has two Senators and at least one Representative in Congress. The number of Representatives in excess o,f one depends upon the state's population. Until Congress changes the present number of members in the House of Representatives (435), the Electoral College r.vill consist of 531 Ele'ctors.
On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December following the election, the Presidential Electors chosen by popular vote at that election, meet in their respective states at such place as the State Legislature may designate, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President. Six certified copies of their votes are made. One copy is.sent to the President of the llnited States Senate by registered mail, two copies to the United States Secre-
tary of State by registered mail, two copies to the Secretary of State of the state in which the E,lectors meet, and the sixth copy is filed with the Feileral District Judge in whose district the Electors meet. These meetings in the fortyeight states constitute the Electoral College.
On the sixth day of January, in Washingtotr, the President o{ the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and the House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the vote shall then be counted; the person having the greatest amount of votes for President shall be President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and the person receiving the largest number of votes for Vice-President shall be Vice-President, if he has a majo'rity of the Electoral votes. If no candidate receives 266 Electoral votes, the Senators shall retire and the House of Representatives shall immediately proceed to choose a President from among the three who received the greatest number of Electoral votes. In such an election, each state is entitled to ONE VOTE. If no candidate for VicePresident receives 266 Electoral votes. the SENAIIE shall choose a Vice-President from the TWO candidates who

Los Angeles, making mighty new growth as a metropolis of homes, is in the peculiarly favorable position of having to meet a housing demand originating not only from the requirements of its present population but also caused by an influx of home builders and buyers from many other parts of the nation and from foreign lands.
llow tremendously important is the latter phase of the city's residential increase is strikingly disclosed by the fact that in the period from June 30, last year, to July 1, this year, 85 per cent of all the new single-family homes for owner occupancy were constructed by those who came first as tourists within comparatively recent years.
The significance of this home investment from such source is made additionally impressive by the official report that this year, up to November 18, there have been 5642 new single-family dwellings authorized here as compared with DL9 for all of 1935.
The percentage of owner-occupied home construction here mentioned, disclosed in a conducted survey under auspices of the All-Year Club, Southern California's nonprofit tourist bureau, emphasizes the tremendous importance to the welfare of this city and all the Southland of keeping the world informed of this region's unparalleled attractions as a place in which to establish a home.
The survey shows that most of these new residents made one or more visits here before returning to locate permanently and that the majority of the visits were for pleasure. Fifty-seven per cent made their first visit after l92O and 66 per cent have returned here since that year.
And here is an especially impressive fact:
Of the total, 86.4 per cent returned to locate here permanently within five years after their visit.
Cornparison with the housing demand arising from the first factor, the requirements of the already established population, adds great weight to the importance of maintaining an influx of home investment from the outside. The club's intensive studies of the situation show that in the
1933-1936 span 48,600 hous,ing units were absorbed, the population increase during that period, according to figures of the California Taxpayers' Association having been 38,700 families. The club's analysis brings the conclusion that the dfference between the two figures, or about 10,000 familes, represents the extent of the "undoubling" of families that in the economic upset years after 1929- had doubled up for various economic reasons.
The vitally important fact that must be considered and acted on by Los Angeles and all the rest of the Southland is to direct the travel of a great stream of desirable tourists to this region in the ensuing years with the same vigor as in the years that saw Southern California's phenomenal growth resulting to vast degree from such influx.
The All-Year Club, experienced and equipped for carrying the story of Southern California to all the world, finds encouragement of its efforts in the fact that former visitors who have built new homes here in the twelve-months span from June 30, 1935, to July 1, this year, came from thirt-r-seven States and several foreign ,countries.
Southern California needs must take close heed of the fact that the club is not without extensive, wellorganized and well-financed competition in the field of attracting tourist travel. Other States, other sections of the nation. foreign lands, are backing organizations devoted to the effort to attract and divert tourist travel to those regions they represent.
The All-Year Club demonstrated to the world what it as a well-organized., all-year-functioning agency had done and could accomplish and thus it is only natural that competitive efforts have been growing with a rapidity that intimately'concerns every resident of the Southland.
Equipped with an agency dedicated to selling Southem California to the world, the Southland through it can exert a mighty influence in keeping a desirable tourist flow in this direction that not only will help mightily to upbuild this region but also will be essential in stabilizing a prosperity rising from newly stimulated investment and construction activity in this best of all regions.

Forsyth Hardrvood Company, San Francisco, recently completed building operations of an extension giving them now a total yard area of 100,000 square feet.
They carry a stock of about 1,000,mO feet of assorted hardwoods.
The fence and side of shed shown in the accompanying picture are constructed of /6" waterproof Douglas fir plywo,od. The edges of the panels are sealed and the whole is finished with two coats of oil paint.
J. P. Connell is now connected with L. J. Carr & Co., San Francisco, wholesalers of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine.
The idea is to demonstrate over a period of time the merits of rvaterproof plywood, and this seems to be a very practical way of doing it. The fence has a western exposure.
P. R. "Bob" Kahn, general manager, is justly proud of the completed yard, enlargement of which has come about rraturally as a result of greatly increased business.
Forsyth Hardwood Company's plant is well located at 355 Bayshore Boulevard, San Francisco's main traffic artery to the south.
W. C. Peterson has become associated with Garnet W. Fraser in the Fraser Lumber & Supply Co., San Francisco.

Thirty-one men have served this nation as President. The term of offi,ce begins on January 20th of the year following the election. During our history eleven Presidents have been re-elected. Although there is no law to the contrary, no President has ever been elected for a third term. Nine Presidents served as Vice-President before becoming President: five of these rvere elected President, and four owed their advancement to the death of a President. O'f these nine, only two were re-elected to the Presidency.

That man may last, but never lives Who much receives but nothing gives, Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank.
And the modern philosopher says that the best proof he has that conditions are improving is the fact that the cigar butts you see in the gutter are half an inch longer on the average than they were a year ago.
There is no more valuable subordinate than ihe man to whom you can give a piece of work and then forget it in the confident expectation that the next time it is brought to your attention it will come in the form of a report that the thing has been done. When this self reliant quality is joined to executive power, loyalty, and comnion sense, the result is a man whom you can trust.
On the other hand, there is no greater nuisance to a man heavily burdened with the direction of affairs than the weak backed assistant who is continually trying to get his chief to do his work for him on the feeble plea that he thought the chief would like to decide this or that for himself. The man to whom the executive is most grateful, the man whom he will work hardest and value most, is the man who accepts responsibility willingly.-Gifford pinchot.

The interesting story of horv White portland cement came to be manufactured on the Pacific Coast was told in an interview by H. C. Maginn, sales manager of the Calaveras Cement Company. Mr. Magrnn says:
"For many years, the only white portland cements available on the Pacific Coast were those manufactured on the Atlantic seaboard and shipped around through the Panama Canal to Pacific Coast points. Transportation costs, combined with warehouse charges at Pacific Coast ports, resulted in high prices to users. The architect and builder who wanted to use white portland cement to produce an attractive and permanent color scheme in his finished structure, was confronted with the prohibitive cost of the imported product.
"After years of research, the Calaveras Cement Company produced Calaveras White portland cement. Calaveras White is manufactured in the plant located at San Andreas, with the same skill and uniformity as other Calaveras cements. Nearness to Pacific Coast markets and relatively low transportation costs permitted the placing of Calaveras.White portland cement in the hands of distributors at substantial redirctions in prices from those formerly charged for imported products.
"Lumber dealers, realizing that it was possible to obtain prompt delivery of fresh stocks of a locally manufactured white portland cement at a much lower price than formerly, were quick to pass the saving on to their customers.
"Calaveras White portland cement is a true portland cement, manufactured in a California mill, equipped with the most up-to-date machinery for the manufacture of white cement. ft exceeds by a wide margin the specifications of the American Society of 'Testing Materials, it is non-staining, and is of a lasting white color. It is approved for use by building officials of municipalities, the State of California and the Federal Government. Many examples of its use are to be found on the Pacific Coast v'here it has been utilizeilt'in the exterior finish of stucco, concrete or masonry structures whether in new work or in modernization.
"The lumber dealer's customers such as plasterers, tile setters, contractors and others have taken advantage of the redu,ced prices. The manufacturer of ,cement paint and stucco can furnish his material to the lumber dealer cheaper because of the reduced prices of Calaveras White. Calaveras engineers are conversant with the many advantages to be obtained from the use of Calaveras White portland cement, and welcome the opportunity of working with you on your protblems. Dealers will please advise them if thev can be of assistance.
"Fresh stocks of Calaveras White portland cement may be procured from us direct in Northern California or from the dealer's favorite cement mannfacturer, in Southern California."

I went to buy a hatchet
Wrth which to fell a tree; "We cannot sell you hatchets no.w," The merchant said to me; !'For goodness sake why not?" I cried All bothered and amazed, "We've buried them," he gravely said, "For which the Lord be praised !"
"Well, let me have a hammer then," I petulantly cried, "All right," said he, "but there are rules By which you must abide; You can't go out at will you know, Knock knocking through the town; These hammers are {or building up And not for tearing down."
I listened for wild diatribes Upon my radioIt fairly spouted words of wrath
A few short days ago;
But every air wave had been tamedAll seemed serene and bright; The programs were if anything, A bit too sweet and-light.
"Why are we all so friendly now ?"
Asked little Willie Tait; "We're settling down to work," I said, "And can't find time for hate; There are so many things to do, So many goals to reach, I would enlarge upon this theme, If I knew how to preach."

Blackwell Lumber Company, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, have increased their kiln capacity with the installation of a Moore's Reversible Cross Circulation Kiln of the latest design. The kiln is 12' 6" wide 104' long, of the single end type. The longitudinal fan system is powered vvith a two-speed motor, giving variable speed control of the circulation.
fore machining. This new kiln is also equipped with N{oorekiln fin pipe.
The Blackwell Lumber Company have been large producers of Idaho White pine since 1909. They manufacture practically all Idaho white pine with a small amount of Ponderosa pine and other mixed woods. They specialize in wide clear Idaho white pine in thicknesses from 4/4 to L6/4 and widths ranging up to 40". A fine stand of timber, which is one of the finest stands of white pine left in Idaho, enables them to produce these high-grade cuttings. Lumber produced by this plant is marketed under the "Blackwell Quality" brand of genuine white pine.
Recent improvements in the plant include the installation of a double end trimmer equipped with an end stamping device for end marking the lumber. Stock is end triu.rmed to order at the customer's specification. Large stocks are carried for prompt shipment of orders to the trade.
Mr. Carl Lundgren is Manager. Mr. Edwin Dahl has recently been made assistant manager and Herman Schalschider is superintendent. The kiln has been under the capable direction of G. A. Hendrickson for the past ten years,

The kiln incorporated a number of the latest Moore developments for close accurate control of the drying conditions including double end control, automatic ventilator control and combination steam and water sprays which are used for reconditioning the lumber before it is pulled from the kiln. This proves very effective in drying Idaho White pine common which, after giving reconditioning treatment, can be sent direct to the planer without danger from cup or splits.

The Lumber & Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles has petitioned the Southern Pacific Company for an emergency rail rate from the Northwest on shipments of Co'mmon lumber for the duration of the strike. A copy of the bulletin to the Institute members covering this subject follows:
"On instructions of the Ekecutive Committee we presented on December 2 to the Southern Pacific Company a formal petition from the Institute for the establishment by the Southern Pacific of an emergency rate for the duration of the strike on a flat basis of $8.00 per thousand feet on Common lumber, rough or dressed, g'reen o,r dry, for shipment from points on its line from Portland, Oregon and south to all points in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. This to apply to approximately maximum cars, say 30,000' minimum to the 'car. unless loaded to capacity with less than 30,00O'.
"This was asked in anticipation of quick a,ction which could be had in five or six days, if approved and filed by the Southern Pacifi,c Company. For that reason, we asked for consideration first of the rate from Portland and south and then asked that, if such a rate was established, they also publish a rate from points north of Portland in collaboration with other carriers.
"The Southern Pa'cific Company has this request under consideration at their San Francis,co office but has not advised us what action may be taken. Our request was endorsed by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commer,ce and by the Merchants and Manufacturers Asso,ciation for the same reasons which pro,mpted us to make the request, namely: to prevent men being throrvn out of employment in our lllants and on construction jobs {or lack of lumber. We explained to them very frankly that olvners of yards could not afford to replace their inventories and pay the present rail rates because of the heavy shrinkage in inventory value the day the strike might end. Also, that, while the rlealer might confidently count upon selling the lumber at a later date which is not sold norv, be,cause of the fact that building not done today will be merely deferred until later, the men in our employ or in the employ o,f a contractor could never recover the 'ivages of rvhich they rvould be deprived by stoppage of work."

J. Walter Kelly has been elected president of the Douglas Fir Club of San Francisco.
Portland, Oregon, December lst.-There is something fascinating a'bout whittling that appeals to the average Ameri,can boy and many a grownup never gets over the whittling habit learned in his youth, especially if a piece of soft-textured Pine is lying around. Whittling ships has a special charm to most jack-knife craftsmen because of their inbred love of the sea or for romance and adventure in distant ports. Making ship models of every description, fro'm pirate ships to modern ocean liners for decorative uses, has become extremely popular in recent years.
Realizing the widespread interest in whittling and jackknife carving, the 'Western Pine Association has re,cently obtained a supply of reprints of an article rvl-rich appeared in the November issue of THE AMERICAN HOME entitled "Whittling Ship Models from Soft Pine." The author, Ray J. Marran, tells in an interesting and comprehensive manner how simple it is to whittle out ship models from one of the soft pines, such as Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine or Ponderosa Pine. Eb<pensive parts and tedious' labor following exacting blueprints are unnecessary, according to Mr. Marran. The article is illustrated w'ith eighteen ship models, in'cluding sketches of Pine blocks required for hull, cabins and mis,cellaneous pieces of equipment.
As long as the supply lasts, single copies of the reprint are available without charge by addressing the Western Plne Association, Yeon Building, Portland. Oregon.
