COMPTETE PR.OTECTION

THRoucH a process developed by our Re' I search Laboratory, Simpson Insulating Building Board is treated during manufacture to render it resistant to termite attack, fungus growth, d.r)t rot, .mold, mildew and other mrcr'osooprc organrsms. By the Simpson pro' eess. eveiy fiber of the board is coated uni' formly with a'non-toxic agent, harmless to humans and animals, so that the interior as well as the exterior is given tested protectien. This is one of the rnan| t"asons why Simpson Insulating Board is especially suitable for dry

wall construction in various types of struetures; as a floor insulation and for bujlding and insulating farm structures such as poultry and laying houses, dairy barns, hog houses, brooder houses, fruit and vegetable storages.

I'UIPROVED BUITDING QUATITIES

Made from the long and tough fiber of the matchless Douglas fir, the new Simpson Insulating Building Board has the advantage of greater structural strength and Deller insulating properties.

How Lrumber Lrooks

Portland, Ore., December 1l-l{ew postwar records for ths production and shipment of lumber from the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington were set during November, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.

Meanwhile, orders jumped above production for the first time since July, indicating continuation of a strong buying trend.

Average weekly lumber production during November was 148,953,000 board feet, an increase of 2,571,000 b.f. over the year's former record, set in October. November shipments boomed to an average of 168,381,000 b.f., up from Octobefs 144,782,M. Orders climbed to 153,155,000 from October's 146,201,000.

"The continuing heavy volume of orders is highly unusual for this time of year," Mr. Simpson said. "It clearly indicates that the housing program is to continue at an accelerated pace through the winter and spring."

Mr. Simpson reported that the freight car shortage eased during the latter part of the month as additional cars began to roll into Southern Oregon, cutting into accumulated lumber stocks.

Cumulative orders for the first 48 weeks ol 1947 were 6,847',412,000 b.f. ; 48 weeks, 1946, 6,539,430,000; 48 weeks, 1945, 5,469;299,000. Cumulation production, 48 weeks, 1947, was 6,708,635,000 b.f.; 48 weeks, 1946, 6,604,729,ffi; 48 weeks, 1945, 5,551,193,000. Shipments, 48 weeks, 1947, 6,770,8n,W ; 1946, 6,509,681,000; 1945, 5,67,370,000.

Orders for 48 weeks ol 1947 break down as follows: Rail, 4,360,217,Offi b.f.; domestic cargo, 959,756,N0; export 828,891,000; local 648,548,000. The industry's unfilled order file stood at637,786,ffi0 b.f. at thc end of November;gross stocks stood at 559,756,W0 b.f.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended November 29, l0l mills reporting, gave orders as 59,128,000 feet, shipments 58,130,000 feet, and production 51,898,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled l6l,n7,000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended November 22, I54 mills reporting, gave orders as 109,854,000 feet, shipments 712,919,000 feet, and prodgction 1O4,592,W feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 570,088,000 feet.

For the week ended November D, 154 mills reporting, gave orders as 85,785,00O feet, shipments 108,319,000 feet, and production 85,500,00O feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 538,693,000 feet.

PIYWOOD'S TIIANY ADVANTAGES

KEEP DE'NANDS GREATER THAN PRESENT SUPPTY

Douglas fir plywood production is greater now than in prewar years. Today's demand, however, is unprecedented-and raw material availability is the controlling factor in,obtaining higher. output. rrus uneven demand-suppry ratro naturally means that plywood may not always be readily obtainable at any given time and place. Keep in touch with your regular -source of riupply as to pric; and dElivery information. For technical data, write the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

A. J. Glassow : Tor Head NLMA

A. I. Glcggow

A western lumberman, A. J. Glassow, of Bend, Oregon was elected president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association at its 45th annual meeting of stockholders and Board of Directors at the Palmer House, Chicago, November 16-19. The meeting took action on several matters of vital interest to the industry.

Mr. Glassow, who succeeds C. Arthur Bruce, Memphis, Tennessee, has had a long and distinguished career in the lumber manufacturing'industry. He is, at present, vice president and general manager of Brooks, Scanlon, fncorporated, Bend, Oregon.

In the field of legislation, the Association adopted a policy strongly opposing any attempt to reinvoke price controls; opposed the participation of the federal government either directly or indirectly in the field of housing constru'ction; reaffirmed its stand against labor legislation which is discriminatory in any way against either employer or employee; and called for the repeal of thej Fair Labor Standards Act as outmoded, unworkable, and discriminatory.

On the subject of Federal controls in general the association directors stited: "There are persons both rvithin and without the government who are always ready to advocate the imposition of controls to meet some nelv 'emergency'. Such proposals should not be tolerated and ,every effort should be made to eliminate present controls. When problems of national security or military requirements and programs make special measures imperative, they should be the subject of separate legislation of carefully limited scope."

The need within the industry for assignment of radio frequency channels to facilitate and remove hazards of logging remote stands was recognized with a resolution requesting the Federal Communications Commission to give full weight to the industry request now before it to allocate suitable bands.

The board of directors, in recognition of the values obtained from this year's American Lumber Congress, directed the NLMA staff to begin laying plans for a Congress in 1949. ft was also resolved that the Junior Achievement Award in Woodworking, initiated in 1947, be continued on an annual basis as a means for creating greater understanding by young Americans of the Amercan enterprise system, and its application in the field of wood products.

These are times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and wornan. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the mo're glorious the triumph. What w€ attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Ffeaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it should be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.

-Thomas Paine.

Voltaire said that "he who serves his country well, has no need <if ancestors."

"ff we begin with ""Jr"rrar.l" wrote Francis Bacon, "we shall end in doubts; but if we begin with doubts and are patient with them, we shall end in certainties."

Talcott Williams, n"*lur" a"l"r", of journalism, was the author of a remark frequently quoted. He used to say: "All men have opinions; but few men think." Long ago I heard a philosopher of that same school say this: only 5 per cent of all people think; another 10 per cent get by by following the lead of the 5 per cent; and 85 per cent believe everything they hear and read.

The free discussion of depressions going on today in the press, brings up the natural question-what makes depressions. During the great depression of 1857, Harper's Weekly, then America's leading editorial periodical, came to the conclusion that "the haste to be rich ,is the occasion of this widespread calamity." And THAT opinion would probably be endorsed by most historians today.

A youth just out of college asked a businessman how to get started right in business. The reply was-"Sell your wrist watch and buy an alarm clock." ***

A highly esteemed teacher of public speaking is quoted as saying that many public speakers, includlng preachers, appear .to have acquired fuency of speech without the habit of thought. They talk a lot more than they know. He says that such speakers remind him of banks that issue several times the amount of their capital stock. ***

"Taxes," said that wise American, Benjamin Franklin, "are indeed heavy." (Wonder what Ben would have thought of such taxes as we have today?) "If those laid by the Government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them. But we have many others, and much more grievious ones to some of us. We are taxed twice as much for our IDLENESS, three times as much for our PRIDE, and four times as much for our FOLLY. And from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing an abatement."

"Ad.vertising and s"rurig,'l a f,uutcity gragazine, gives one of the smaller New York clothing merchants a well deserved pat on the baek for a catchy piece of advbrtising copy. The ad ran in the New York Post, a tabloid, and covers a page. It shows a large reproduction of the famous painting "September Morn," and the remark: "Don't just STAND there . . . S. Klein has beautiful fall clothes." Of course, if you've forgotten "September Morn," you miss the punch in a very exceptional advertisement.

Offering service as part of a merchandising effort is not always a successful venture. An automobile magazine published an article on "Service," and suggested that "offering a drink of cool water to a thirsty traveler without

(Continued on Page 8)

(Continued from Page 6) waiting for him to ask for it, is a courtesy that will bring good will." Shortly after came a letter from a small town service station, that read: "I tried your suggestion of o,ffering a drink of cool water to each motorist that drove in. At the end of a week I quit it. Nearly every time I would say 'Want a drink?' the driver would look very happy and say 'Of what?' and when I would say 'Water' he would stop sniling, and say 'NA'W."'

National politics, which has been simmering, will soon start to boil. We will see many a man thump his breast and announce that he is a stout "party man." But none who do so will quote the words of Thomas Je,fferson, who said that if he could not go to heaven except with a party, he did not want to go there at all.

***

We have about six per cent of the world's popul4tio,n, and our income and wealth is about 35 to 40 per cent. That looks big. But, as a matter of fact if we were to go socialistic and divide up our wealth with the rest of the world, we would immediately become poor and the rest of the world would be very little better off than it is now. \Me can't finance the world. We can't even finance that part of the world that we are trying to figure out plans for helping now. All we can do is try to find sorne intelligent way of using what we can spare to back them up in their own stout efforts to pull out of the hole. But we can't lift them out. All we can do, and survive, is lend a hand. And it is going to have to be one of the most intelligent jobs of hand-lending in all history, if we are to escape dragging ourselves in. **+'

We read and hear of conditions in Europe, and we are sad. Then we read other things that make us wonder if our sympathy is fully deserved. Right now, so I read, an American woman is getting three thousand dollars a week (American money) for singing in a Paris night club. And in England enormous crowds attend the horse races, and records are broken in the amount of money wagered. High priced shows in England are still sold out months in advance. Sometimes things don't make sense, do they?

"No man can possibly be as intelligent as Daniel Webster looks," said a contemporary of the great orator.

And that remark still lives to perpetuate the personal impression that great American left behind him. As a youngster in school l liked to read and read again about the timg Webster rose before a great political gathering in Faneuil Hall, and said (I quote from memory) : "Gentlemen, I am a Whig! A Constitutional Whig! A Massachusetts Whig! A Faneuil Hall Whig! And if you abolish the Whig Party, where am I to go?" And, instead of criticizing the apparent egotism of the man, that great gathering of important persons took no such thought from his words. fnstead, they all looked at each other, and wondered where Daniel Webster could go ! One of the greatest recorded demonstrations of how impressive a human can be !

As has been relatea r"tlr"lr, lt "r" *ri,rrrgs, r get something like that impression from General Douglas MacArthur. Saw a picture of him in the midst of a group of men of great importance and serious dignity. And it seemed to me that McArthur stood out like a towering mountain peak. I haven't the words to describe that personal equation that he possesses in such copious quantities, but whatever it is, he seems to have a corner on it. He seems always grave, always studiously thoughtful, always well within himself, always tremendously dignified, a picture of restrained power. If there was an5rone previously who doubted that MacArthur was a truly great man, the job he has done in Japan should settle that. As great an administrator and diplomat as he is a soldier,-he has proven himself ahistory*"O.t.*

An advertising agency was commissioned to find out whether or not the movie audiences in Hollywood approved or disapproved of the use of adjectives in movie advertising. So they conducted a poll of the movie fans of that city, asking them: "Do you approve of the use of adjectives in movie advertising?" Five per cent answered "Yes": five per cent answered "No"; and ninety per cent answered' "What are adjectives?"

Members Attend Directors' Meeting

Members of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 were invited to attend the monthly meeting of the directors held at the Claremont Hotel, Berkeley, December 1, to let them in on just how the club is run, and the amount of effort required to keep it going in high gear. There was an attendance of 30 at the meeting.

AFPI Elects Ferguson

Sydney Ferguson, president of the Meacl Corporation, New York, was elected president of the American Forest Products Industries, fnc., at its annual meeting held in the Palmer House, .Chi,cago, on November 20.

He su,cceeds Corydon 'Wagner, Tacoma, vice president of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company. Mr. Wagner was one of the original group that st'arted the public information project of the American Forest Products Industries in 1941, which since has developed into a. nation-wide forestry program sponsored by forest industries of all types. The organization is the riational coordinatoi of the "tree farm" and "Keep America Green" movementS, and is undertaking a series of intensive programs to interest small woodland owners in better forest practices. The first of these programs is being initiated in Alabama, but similar projects will be undertaken in other states during 1948.

Other officers of AFPI, elected at the Chicago meeting, are Col. William B. Greeley, Port Gamble, Wash., chairman of the trustees; Walter T. DamtoTt, Canton. N.C., Champion Paper & Fibre Co-parry, and Robert C. Winton, Minneapolis, Winton Lumber Company, vi,ce presidents; M. L. Fleishel, Shamrock, Fla., Perpetual Forests, fnc., treasurer, and Chapin Collins, Washington, D. C., managing director and secretary.

C. O. Brown, New York, International Paper Company; Clyde Martin, Tacoma, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company; and William Swindells, Portland, Ore., Willamette Valley Lumber Company, were elected to the board of trustees. Other boar.d members, representative of the pulp and paper industry, will be announced later.

AFPI's trustees gave their approval to expansion of the Alabama type of forestry educational project to other states as well as of AFPI's general educational rvork.

Smith Pays Walker Interests Ten Million Dollars For Timber--One Ot Biggest Deals ln History

When the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company, of Kansas City, purchased one billion one hundred and fifty million feet of California Pine timber from the Walker interests recently, the ,ten million dollar purchase price constituted one of the biggest timber deals in all lumber history, from the dollar standpoint. Very few ten million dollar timber sales have ever been made. Many sales of greater footage have been known in the history of the industry, but not in the price involved.

This is the biggest timber buy that has been registered

Ralph L. Smith Lumba Company Becomes California Oferation Of Major Size And lmportance

Recent mention was made in these columns of the purchase by the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company, of Kansas City, of the Deschutes Lumber Company and all its holdings, at Anderson, California. The Deschutes properties consist of a single band sawmill that runs two shifts and cuts three and a quarter million feet of lumber a month, and a large stand of timber. This purchase was only one of a series of important moves now under way that will make the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company one of the largest and most important operators in California lumber territory.

This company is a family relation to the veteran M. R. Smith Lumber & Shingle Company, of Seattle, which has been an important lu'mber and shingle factor in the Northwest for two generations, and is today one of the world's largest producers of Red Cedar shingles. Recently the M. R. Smith Lumber & Shingle Company, and Mr. Paul Smith, who heads that concern, joined forces to buy a substantial interest in the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company, and with this enlarged financial structure they are proceeding with a very ambitious program of expansion.

Already this concern owns and operates a moulding plant in Klamath Falls, Oregon, sawmills in Canby, California, and a box factory in Alturas, California. Buying the Deschutes Lumber Company was the first ex-

since the Long-Bell Lumber Company bought ten billion feet of Fir from Weyerhaeuser at Longview, Washington, about twenty-five years ago.

The Walker interests once owned well over twenty billion feet of standing Pine timber in Northern California, including the tract adjacent to their great mill at Westwood, which they have since sold. This was by far the greatest Pine timber stand ever owned by one concern. Most of it has now been sold.

pansion step. Now they are proceeding to enlarge the former Deschutes plant at AnderSon. The sawmill will be doubled in size and capacity as fast as equipment can be installed. There was no planer or dry kilns at this mill, so they are now building a very large planer, and will then immediately construct a very large set of stearn dry kitns. The planer and kilns will have sufficient capacity to handle the output of the doubled mill at Anderson, and in addition the production of various other sawmills in that vicinity that have no 'planer or kiln facilities. They plan to turn out one hundred million feet of lumber a year at this point when their rebuilt plant is completed.

They have bought from the Walker interests, of Cali' fornia, formerly owners of the Red River Lumber Company, one billion one hundred and fifty million feet of Pine timber, the purchase price announced being about ten million dollars. This timber is located near Redding, California.

They now own in the vicinity of the Anderson mill about 1,300,000,000 feet of timber, of which fifty per cent is Ponderosa and Sugar Pine.

Add the enlarged Anderson operation to the previous operations of the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company, and you have a very big lumber business. The general sales office of the company is in Kansas City, in charge of Mr. J. A. Lowe, Jr. The sale of the various products of this concern will hereafter be divided, part being sold by the M. R. Smith Lumber & Shingle Company, in Seattle, and part by the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company office in Kansas City.

Herc Are Some Jokes And " G"gr" That M.y Help You Enliven The Holidays

By Jacl<

It occurred to me that some of the funny and near-funny jokes, "gagr," quips, and jests that are now going the rounds might help our readers enliven their holidays. With that thought in view I offer the following, which have been gleaned from all sorts of sources, authors unknown I imagine to anyone but the Lord Himself. Here they are:

\(/est Coast Lumbermen's Ascociation Lumber Grading Demonstration

On Wednesday evening, November 19, 1947, a grogp of eighty-six architects and structural engineers attended a meeting devoted to the stress grading of Douglas Fir lumber. The meeting was held in the loft of the Summerbell Roof Structures Los Angeles plant.

A. C. Horner started the meeting with a showing of charts explaining how a tree grows. He was followed by T. K. (Tank) May, in charge of Technical Service of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, who discussed stress values and their adaptation to proper str'u,ctural design. Then fifty specimen joists and beams were exhibited with the grade of each called and explained by A. A. (Art) Kayser of the West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades.

From here on questions and discussions were open to all making that certain informality that brought about a clearer understanding of the lumber grading subject.

A grading contest was then held and prizes awarded for the highest scores.

Honorable mention went to the American Lumber & Treating Co., J. H. Baxter & Co., and Warren Southwest, Inc., for the refreshments.

The interest shown during the program, together with expressions of appreciation made since, indicate that more such meetings should bs arranged and it is the intention of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association to do this whenever the personnel is available to care for such requests'

The Btrsine$s OI Living

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other 11s1-a!eve all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day T rcalize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to. give in return as much as I have received. My peace of mind is often troubled by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too heavily from the works of other men.-Albert Einstein.

The Quest

A restless breeze goes straying, across the landscape fair, It whispers in the tree-tops, it searches here and there; It rustles through the grasses, it flies across the fen,

And when at length it find one, it breathes a strong, low song, And quickly through the portal, it slips and glides along, With touch of fairy fingers, it stirs each open door, And dances in the sunlight that lies across the foor.

A while it seems to listen-then, with a-whispering sigh, It joins its eerie laughter, with mother's lullaby; And rising, oh so gently, in little whiffs and swirls, It toys for just a moment, with baby's silken curls.

Our eager thoughts go straying across the shining world, They fly frirm mountains ho4ry, to shores with white spray pearled;

They seek the caves of ocean, they walk among the stars, But rest and peace and love they find, behind home's window bars. -A Merriam Conner.

No Moss

Jim Corbett was telling the story of his life and said: "When I left home my father warned me: 'Remember, a rolling stone gathers no moss."'

"But when I returned after a successfirl career' he changed his tune to: 'Just as I told you, son' it's the wandering bee that gathers honey."'

Right or LeIt?

"She thinks no man is good enough for her."

"She may be right."

"Yes, and she may be left."

Wouldn't Sell

The old lumberjacks were walking down the Seattle, hungry, cold, broke, no place to sleep, low spirits.

Bill spied a small white envelope lying in the gutter, stooped over, picked it up, and found that it contained a spoonful of fine, white powder. He took a pinch on his finger, and sniffed it to see what it was like. Then he took another good whiff. Shaking his shoulders and tossing his head with suddenly renewed life, he turned to the other and said: "George, get ready. We are going to hop the limited for Frisco tonight."

,

"What's the big idea?" asked the other. "We can get just as hungry in Frisco as we can here in Seattle." Then he took a sni'ff of the stuff his partner held in his hand.

"f am going down there and buy all the lumber carriers on the Coast, take them out of commission for six months, and corner the Fir market," boasted Bill.

George took another long sniff, and firmly declared: ..T WON'T SELL.''

One DeIect

All my life people have been coming to me with plans to make over society and its institutions. Many of these plans have seemed to me good. Some have been excellent. All of them have had one fatal defect. They have assumed that human nature would behave in a certaia way. If it would behave in that way these plans would work, but if human nature would behave in that way these plans would not be necessary, for in that case society and its institutions would reform themselves.

-Elihu Root.

Iliawctha Hcrrigcrn

He killed the noble mudjokivis, Of the skin he made him mittens, Made them with the fur side inside, Made them with the skin side outside; Put the inside skinside outside;

IIe, to get the cold side outside

Put the warm side fur side inside.

That's why he put the fur side inside, Why he put the skin side outside, Why he turned them inside outside.

It cannot rest until it finds. the little homes of men.

Machining Of Madrone, Calilornia Laurel, TanbarkOalc,

And Chinquapin

By Edward M. Davis, Technologist

Forest Products Laboratory, ] Fore* Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture

One of the facto{s that affects the utility of any wood for many uses is its machining oroperties. Machining data on madrone, California laurel, tanbark oak, and chinquapin, four West Coast hardwoods, are presented here as one means of facilitating their utilization. Machining is, of course, only one of several considerations. It does not appear to be a limiting factor with these woods because in general their machining properties are good'

Considerable work on the machining properties of wood has already been done at the Forest Products Laboratory with 24 of the principal native hardwoods. This work is described in U.S. Department of Agriculture Technical Bulletin No. 824 "Machining and Related Properties of Southern Hardwoods." The same general procedure used in that bulletin was followed with the tests described here.

The following machining properties were investigated: planing, shaping, turning, boring, mortising, and sanding. For each of these operations there is given a paragraph or two outlining the test procedure and the results together with a small table comparing madrone, California laurel, tanbark oak, and chinquapin with several of the better known hardwoods. At the end of the report is a summary table covering planing, shaping, turning, boring, mortising, and sanding for 29 hardwoods (including the four West Coast hardwoods) on which machining tests have been made.

American woodworkers consider smoothness of surface to be the best criterion of machining properties, and it is so used in this report. Among less important factors which are merely touched on in passing are power consumption and rate of dulling of tools.

Planing

Planing tests were all made at one moisture content, 6 per cent, the approximate moisture content that would be required for exacting work. Six cutting angles were used: 5, 10, 15, n, 25, and 30 degrees. Runs were made at speeds of 1800 and 3600 r.p.m. 'ivith a feed of 40 f.p.m. Results were based on the occurrence of such planing defects as raised, luzzy, 'or chipped grain'

A comparison of the planing properties of the four West Coast woods with those of four well known eastern hardwoods follows.

Madrone planed about as well as any of the hardwoods that have been tested. Although tanbark oak and chinquapin did not do quite so well they still belong among the better planing woods. California laurel made a relatively poor showing largely because of interlocked grain and small burls in the material tested that tend to cause chipped grain.

Madrone produced 90 per cent of defect-free test samples. White oak produced 87 per cent of defect-free test samples.

Tanbark oak produced 80 per cent of defect-free test samples.

Chinquapin produced 75 per cent of defect-free test samples.

Yellow-poplar produced 70 per cent of defect-free test samples.

Sweetgum (red or sap gum) produced 51 per cent'of defect-free samples.

California laurel produced 40 per cent of defect-free test samples.

Cottonwood produced 2l per cent of defect-free test samples.

Madrone was relatively little affected by cutting angles, the results being uniformly good all the way from 15" to 30o. Tanbark oak gave its best results at 1.5o and 20o which were about equal. The California laurei was much better at ho than at any other angle while chinquapin did best at 20o to 30o. In general results were noticeably better in all woods at the higher cutterhead speed of 3600 r.p.m.

Shaping

Test samples were shaped on a double spindle shaper operating at 72ffi r.p.m. Grading was based on smoothness of surface. Defects such as raised, luzzy, or chipped grain, which would require additional sanding to make acceptable shaping work, were taken into account. Madrone shaped more smoothly on the end grain than any wood yet tested, and California laurel showed up well also. The thnbark oak shaped fairly well, but chinquapin, owing largely to rough end grain cutting and feather edges, was moderately poor. A comparison of the shaping of these four woods with four well known eastern'hardr.voods follows :

Madrone produced 75 per cent of good .to excellent shaping.

Hard maple produced 62 per cent of good to excellent shaping.

California laurel produced 60 per cent lent shaping.

Birch produced 53 per cent of good to Tanbark oak produced 39 per cent of shaping.

White oak produced. 28 per cent of shaping.

Chinquapin produced 25 per cent of shaping.

Sweetgum (red or sap gum) produced 2l per cent of : *ood to excellent shaping.

Turning

Turnings were cut by means of a milled-to-pattern knife which insured uniformity of size and shape. The pattern contained the head, the cove, and cuts at different angles to the grain. Turnings wdre than carelully graded with special reference to sharpness of detail and smoothness of cut. Madrone and California laurel both turned very well requiring a minimum of subsequent sanding. Tanbark oak and chinquapin may be considered fair turning woods. The latter often showed a tendency toward minute rough;ness. These woods compared with three well known eastern hardwoods as shown below:

Black walnut produced 91 per cent of good to excellent turnings.

Madrone produced 88 per cent of good to excellent turnings.

California laurel produced 86 per cent of good to excellent turnings.

Tanbark oak produced 81 per cent of good to excellent turnings.

Birch produced 80 per cent of good to excellent turnings.

Chinquapin produced 77 per cent of good to excellent turnings.

Cottonwood produced 7O per cent of good to excellent turnings.

Boring

A series of l-inch holes was bored using a standard type wood bit driven at 2400 r.p.m. in a small boring machine. The holes were examined and graded for smoothness of cut, then measured by means of a plug gage for trueness to size. The madrone, California laurel, and tanbark oak were equal to any woods tested for smoothness of cut, and the chinquapin was good. But when it comes to trueness to size, the chinquapin and California laurel were no better than fair, while the, madrone and tanbark oak were among the more variable woods. For most uses, however, smoothness of cut is the more important consideration and the comparison which follows is based on smoothness of cut onlv:

Black walnut produced 100 per cent of good to excellent samples.

Madrone produced 100 per cent of good to excellent samples.

California laurel produced 100 per cent of good to excellent samples.

Tanbark oak produced 100 per cent of good to excellent samples.

White oak produced 95 per aent of , good to excellent samples.

Sweetgum (red or sap gum) produced 92 good to excellent samples.

Chinquapin produced 9O per cent of good samples.

per cent of to excellent

Cottonwood produced 70 per cent of good to excellent samples.

Mortising

A series of half inch square mortises was cut using a standard type hollow chisel mortiser. The finished mortises were examined and graded for smoothness of cut, and measured with a steel gage for trueness to size' The California laurel and tanbark oak mortised as smoothly as any of the woods that have been tested. Madrone and chinquapin, although not quite so good, belong among the better woods in this respect. The chinquapin and tanbark oak rate good in trueness to size of mortises, while the California laurel and madrone rate fair. The following comparison is based on smoothness of cut only:

White oak produced 100 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Tanbark oak produced 100 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

California laurel produced 100 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Hard maple produce 95 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Madrone produced 95 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Chinquapin produ'ced 90 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Yellow-poplar produced 63 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Cottonwood produced 52 per cent of fair to excellent mortises.

Machining of Madrone, California Laurel, Tanbark Oak, and Chinquapin

(Continued f.rom Page 26)

Sandlng

Equipment for making sanding tests that are strictly comparable with earlier tests was not available. Sonre machine sanding tests were made, however, using a small drum and garnet abrasive with different sizes of grit. These tests are believed to be sufficient to answer the chief questions relating to their sanding properties and to permit approximate comparions with other hardwoods in this respect.

Based on limited tests, tanbark oak, chinquapin, and California laurel showed only slightly scratching tendencies, and would be expected to fall among the best third of the species listed in table 1 which is based on the use ot 2/A grit. Madrone, owing to its much finer texture, would be more subject to scratching and would require 3/0 or possibly 4/O grit for equally good results.

In freedom lrom luzzing tendencies madrone should rank with the very best of the table 1 woods, with tanbark oak and California laurel probably in the top third. Chinquapin has definite fuzzing tendencies, and probably belongs somewhat below the middle'of the list.

Specific Gravity of the Test Material

Although specific gravity is not in itself a machining property it has a bearing on such machining factors as power consumption and rate of dulling of tools. As a general rule the heavier the wood, the more power is required to cut it and the more rapidly it dulls the cutting tools. The amounts dealt with were too small to produce any significant drrlling effect, and no actual power measure' ments were taken. It was very noticeable, however, that an exceptional effort was required to pass any of the heavy ones through a hand-feed machine such as a jointer or table saw.

Three of the four woods in this study, madrone, California laurel, and tanbark oak, are relatively heavy. The only moderately light one is chinquapin. The following tabulation gives specific gravity figures for the four western hardwoods and four common eastern hardwoods for comparison. Figures are based on oven-drv weight and volume.

Madrone, tanbark oak, and California laurel are heavier and harder than most of our native hardwoods. They would probably require more power to machine, and they probably dull tools somewhat more rapidly than do lighter and softer hardwoods. On the other hand, they tend to give very good results when it comes to smoothness of cut. Chinquapin is considerably lighter and softer, and does not machine so smoothly as a rule although it offers less resistance to the cutting action of the tools.

The principal machining properties of 29 hardwoods, including the four West Coast woods referred to above, are shown in table 1. The arrangement of species is alphabetical.

Sells Smrmill in Oregon

J. Paul Campbell, Sr., has sold the sawmill of the J. Paul Caqpbell Lumber Co. at Canyonville, Oregon,. to the Alcan Lumber Co., in which E. K. Bregman is interested. Mr. Bregman operates the Cal-West Lumber Co. at Garvey, Calif. Mr. Campbell purchased the mill in 1941 and has operated it since then. It is a double circular, all steam mill with log pond, etc., the cut averaging 4O M ft. per shift. Shipping point is Riddle on the Southern Pacific, seven miles distant.

Arthur E. Twohy of the Twohy Lumber Co., Los Angeles, sawmill and lumber yard brokers, handled the sale.

The , sale of this mill does not afiect in any'way Mr. Campbell's other operation, the Trojan Wood Products, Inc., dt Riddle, Ore. This operation is a remanufacturing mill processing cants into surfaced dimension, the cantd being supplied by his semi-portable mill located in the timber.

Mr. Campbell is also owner of the Trojan Lumber Co., a large retail yard at Burbank, Calif.

"P,ne Buyers Are Plentiful at Millr" Says Clint Laughlin

Clint Laughlin, manager of the Softwood Department for E. J. Stanton & Son, of Los Angeles, reports that up in the Pine producing territory buyers and wouldbe buyers are much more plentiful than sawmills, and mighty near as plentiful as trees. "There are legitimate buyers such as wholesalers and retailers, and then there are snipers and fly-by-nights who have flocked into the lumber business because they have heard there are big profits in it, just as they would flock into bootlegging or anything else which promises a quick and handsome profit," says Clint. There were so many of them that when he was up there recently it was almost impossible to get a hotel room; the buyers had them all.

Writing in the December issue of "The Stantonite," a Stanton house organ of high repute, Clint tells some of his experiences with the wrong kind of lumber buyers up there, and then says: "Why,do you spend forty years from the sawmill on out and then have to compete with that? Mark Twain once wrote about a man (he was probably a lumberman) who woke up one morning with a terrible hangover. He searched hi6 pockets and found one copper cent (all his worldly wealth). He thought of suicide and decided he would flip the penny. Heads he would commit suicide, and tails he would go into the ieady made clothing business. ft came up 'heads,' but his head hurt sb badly he didn't have the heart to shoot into it, so he went into the ready made clothing business
