The office of Pope & Talbot, fnc., occupies the 27th floor of the Russ Building, San Francisco. Here on the walls is the famous collection of early San Francisco and California prints and lithographs, believed to be one of the finest and most complete that exists.

The late Mr. Pope told how he acquired one historic pictures that occupies a prominent place collection.

"I was looking in the window of a second-hand store,r' he said, "and saw an oil painting of a sawmill. It was a dandy picture and f went into the store and asked the proprietor how much he wanted for it.

The picture was of the Port Gamble mill, but the artist had not put his name on it.

In Mr. Pope's private office is an oil painting of his father, Andrer,r'J. Pope, and of his mother, who was Emily Talbot, Captain Talbot's sister.
