Common boards can be had for from $5 to $10 a thousand, while the list calls for from $10 to $19.50. This is about the reduction all the way thru the list and, roughly to estimate the dif. ference, it can be said that the British Columbia lumbermen are selling about $6 off the list. (edar logs slackened away until the grade suitable for XXXXX shingles sold for $12 in some instances and as high as $14 in others. Early in 1920 cedar logs were marketed here for from $45 to $50. with cedar siding grades in the $60 class. Fir logs of the smaller dimensions are very weak, but those from which the sawmill can cut Jap squares are in keen demand. Hemlock is about the weakest timber on the market. Pulp and paper mills are using their old cut logs, held over the winter, and are not buying hemlock, with the result that limits cutting a mixture of hemlock and fir find it hard to carry the entire cost on fir. Shingles have taken another spurt forward and The result of the inactivity in the logging camps during the winter is beginning to show in the figures of log production. This year the total for the first three months was 363,352,127 feet, as against 412,640,355 feet in the same period of 1920, showing a decrease of 49,283,228 feet. R. B.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. standstill they may have to close their yards. But efforts are being made to relieve the strained rela- tions between the building contractors and the union mechanics and prevent a complete tie-up of building operations. There seems to be an ample supply of labor for operations in mills and woods. The Weed Lumber Co. held its annual meeting elected to fill it. He is also vice president of the Long-Bell Lumber Co., of Kansas City. After the meeting Messrs. Cox and Tennant left for Weed accompanied by M. B. Nelson, R. W. Stith and Earl Kenyon, of the Long-Bell Lumber Co. They in spected the plant and woods operations at Weed. An announcement is expected soon as to the com- pany's plans for operating the sawmill this season. Work has been resumed in the box factory. The sash and door factory is running, altho not up to capacity. E. A.

McInnis Locally, considerable new building and repairing DE RIDDER, LA. May 16.-Southern pine demand has just about held its own, but prices are becoming firmer and the manufacturers are somewhat reluctant to have very heavy order files and are accepting only such orders as will fit their stocks and can be shipped immediately. The items of Nos. 1 and 2 dimension is in good demand, as are 10- and 12-inch Nos. 1 and 2 boards, and several mills are sold up on these items, especially in the longer lengths. The demand for 24-inch B&better flooring is heavy and in many cases the mills are ripping surplus 1-inch finish items to increase their production. The movement of drop siding in special patterns in all grades is improved. Casing, base, jambs and small lots of molding are in good demand. One of the outstanding features of this week's market is the increasing demand for timbers. While no large timber schedules have been reported as placed, yet 1. to 4-ear orders are fairly plentiful. The demand for oil rig and construction timbers is also good; owing to the new fields in northern Louisiana and Arkansas. TUSCALOOSA, ALA. May 16.—Two by four's and several other items have shown marked improvement. Eighteen-foot lengths have advanced $6 a thousand. The finan. cial situation in this district is getting easier. Everyone is expecting a gradual improvement in demand and in general business. Lumber production has slightly increased during NORFOLK, VA. inquiries are becoming more frequent for these. Sales would have been much larger had the mills been able to quote on the inquiries submitted, but they were often either oversold or not in position to get the stock out promptly. Everything bought nowadays is wanted in a rush and buyers are still purchasing hand to mouth. One large cargo inquiry has been turned down by many because delivery to barge must be effected within two weeks. Prices as a whole are holding up very well. Recent rains interfered to some extent with operations and reduced the supply of air dried lumber for prompt shipment. The kiln drying North Carolina pine There has been a better sale of 4/4 edge No. 2 and better. Buyers wait as long as they can be fore replenishing, but several large buyers are now in the market. The price has eased off slightly, due to overanxiety of a few mills to keep this stock moving, but many are holding firm. There is little demand for 4/4 edge No. 3 and other No. 3 lumber with the exception of 10-inch No. 3, which is being called for more freely by planing mills. There is a good demand for No. 2 and better stock widths and, wbile prices vary much, the surplus, if there is any, is very small, and the millmen are content to hold for their figures. There has been a slightly better demand for Nos. 1 and 2 bark strips and rips, as well as for miscuts, with quotations more uniform and firmer. There has been no improvement in the demand for 4/4 edge box, altho a few inquiries for small cargoes have originated in New York City. There is still a brisk demand for stock box, rough and dressed, and prices are stronger, many mills being
unable to take further business for prompt deliv- ery. Several large cargo inquiries for 8., 10- and 12-inch box have been sent out recently, while the call for 1. and 2-carlots is very brisk. Air dried box is selling in Norfolk at slightly less than kiln dried, due to this being a near market, but the stock shipped is not always satisfactory. Box bark strips are a little more active and the same is true of 5/4 and 6/4 stock box dressed and resawn. Prices on some rough items have weakened, but the majority show no change. There has been a good demand for flooring, thin ceiling, dressed stock boards, roofers, etc., and while some low prices are being made, many mills refuse to quote on flooring items, because they are either oversold or unable to meet competition. Roofers are very active and prices have strength- ened considerably. All roofer orders are wanted shipped immediately and dressed mills are having difficulty in getting them out when wanted. LAUREL, MISS. One leading producer remarked that “In spite of there certainly is a better atmosphere in lumber circles. While I'm not looking for anything spec- tacular in the near future, I believe a general re- vival of all business is at hand. Only one thing will or can delay it, the labor situation. There is little doing in export lines on account of the sea- men's strike." FAS in oak is in much better demand. Prices rule higher, with practically no change in lower grades. MOBILE, ALA. Building materials are in better demand than mediate needs only, however, and mills idle for several months have not yet felt encouraged to resume operations. SHREVEPORT, LA. variation than bas marked quotations for some time. There is not much squabbling over prices. The mill that quotes for quick shipment usually receives the prices it quotes. Some improvement, tho small, is noted in prices. Some lists recently raised several dimension and board items $1 a thousand. It is generally reported from the mills that surplus stocks are practically wiped out, and many items of dimension will have to be kiln dried or the orders will be delayed in shipment. Many orders now carry the “rush” notice, indicating scarcity of stocks. Some mills are entirely out of surplus and are making no concessions except on a few odds and ends. Altho the weather has improved, logging is still more or less handicapped, due to recent rains.

Miner has done for this town to show his true greatness. "When the Young Men's Club was organized immediately after the late war, when the boys who were in it were 'running in circles,' Mr. Miner gave the club all his athletic equipment to use free; the club voting him honorary membership, he being the only man in Bethany so honored. Now Mr. Miller has made himself even more to be honored by presenting all of his athletic equipment, consisting of wrestling mat, trapeze, rings etc., which outside of a couple of basket goals is all the athletic equipment our school gymnasium can boast of. "Mr. Miner told me that he was a member of a boys' athletic club when he was a boy before entering the Civil War; also afterward associating with them when the war was over : that he had always felt that boys should be encouraged in all athletic sports, and that he enjoys seeing boys and girls play." In the final paragraph of his letter Dr. Hinkle makes an appeal to the citizens to "get behind our high school and grade down the hill to the north of the school house and make an athletic field, to complete the gift of Ed Miner by completely equipping our high school gymnasium." The vice president and general manager of the Miner & Frees Lumber Co. is W. A. Miner, of Ridgeway, Mo., who succeeded in that position his father, W. A..Miner, a brother to E. S. Miner, upon the death of the former several years ago. The company operates fourteen yards, all of them in Missouri, except one, which is at Leon, Iowa. The manager of the Bethany yard is G. C. Zingerle. The policy of the concern always has been the same at the branch yards as at Bethany : the aim being to contribute to the upbuilding of the communities and perform a real service to the people.

WHO HAS PAID HIGHEST FREIGHT? Last week the AMERICAN LUMBERMAN published a story to the effect that on Nov. 23, 1921, the Metropolitan Lumber Co., of Chicago, had paid $908.66, plus $27.25 war tax, or a total of $935.91, in freight charges on a car of lumber shipped from LaGrande, Ore., to East St. Louis, Mo., on a 76cent rate. In response to the accompanying request to hear from lumbermen who had paid freight charges in excess of that amount the AMERICAN LUMBERMAN this week received the following data from E. L. Grant, president Kenosha Lumber Co., Kenosha, Wis. : On Nov. 10, 1920, the Kenosha Lumber Co, received at its yard P&R car No. 7097, containing 41,335 feet of timber and joist shipped by the Glendale Lumber Co., Glendale, Ore. The freight expense bill was 118,140 pounds, rate 80 cents, and charges $945.12, plus war tax of $28.35, or a total of $973.47. A. Fletcher Marsh, vice president of Marsh & Truman Lumber Co., Chicago, gives the following information of a freight payment which he thinks beats the record, altho it covers double and triple carloads. He says: "The facts are: We shipped on Feb. 10, 1921, over the Union Pacific from Washington State a double carload of material going to Charleston, W. Va., weighing 99,320 pounds. At a rate of $1.17 this would make thru charges of $1,162.04, plus war tax of $34.94, or a total of $1,196.98. “Going one better, we shipped on Feb. 8, 1921, a triple carload also going to Charleston, W. Va., containing 43,682 feet of lumber, weighing 132,480 pounds. At a rate of $1.17 the total freight charges amounted to $1,550.02, plus war tax of $46.55, making total charges of $1,597.08." The AMERICAN LUMBERMAN will be glad to hear from any lumberman who has a bigger freight bill than this to report.

& Hemlock Manufacturers' Association for two terms and was treasurer of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Issociation. During the war he spent some time in Washington, acting with the Government as an expert, and he was instrumental in having the luinber industry retained on the essential list. The I. Stephenson Co. Trustees is in charge of the estate of the late Senator Isaac Stephenson and the company is operating two of the best equipped mills in northern Michigan, cutting 70,000,000 feet of lumber annually.
ENLARGES SALES ORGANIZATION The Hilgard Lumber Co., of this city, has during the last two weeks enlarged its sales organization considerably, by securing the services of four lumbermen of long and successful experience. J. W. Faulkner, until recently the representative in this territory for the Berry Lumber Co., of New York, has been appointed manager of the white pine department of the Hilgard concern. He will make his headquarters in Chicago, but expects from here to cover the entire eastern territory. Besides bandling all the different species of white pine, such as Idaho, western, Oregon and California white and ('alifornia sugar pine, Mr. Faulkner will also have charge of the fir, spruce and red cedar specialty department. J. F. Womelsdorf, formerly Ohio representative of the Saari-Tully Lumber Co., of Portland, Ore., and the United States Lumber & Box Co., also of Portland, with headquarters in Cleveland, has become connected with the Hilgard Lumber Co., and henceforth will represent it in Ohio. Mr. Womelsdorf enjoys a wide acquaintance thruout the Ohio territory, having covered that State for several years. Herbert Moss, formerly manager of the office of the Vaughn Lumber Co., Wichita, Kan., which company is under the same ownership as the Hilgard Lumber Co., has joined the latter concern and will cover the city of Chicago and assist in the distribution of yard stock. Mr. Moss is a man of large experience in southern woods, and at one time was sales manager for the Carter-Kelley Lumber Co., Manning, Tex. A fourth addition to the Hilgard sales staff is E. G. Koza, who for eleven years was the Illinois representative of th J. Newman Lumber Co., of Hattiesburg, Miss., was more recently with the Chicago Lumber & Coal Co., of St. Louis, Mo., and who in his new connection will cover a part of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. Mr. Koza is an old timer among road salesmen and has a host of friends among the trade thruout Minois and parts of Wisconsin and Iowa. The Hilgard Lumber Co. is one of the foremost distributers of southern and western lumber products in this territory. It operates modern mills at Elmina, Oakhurst, Mayotown, Alto and Fletcher, Tex., and at Selma, Ala., and on the west
TAKES OVER CHICAGO SALES OFFICE George B. McGill arrived during the last week from Portland, Ore., to take over the Chicago sales office of the Saari-Roblin Lumber Co., of Portland, Ore. Mr. McGill fills the vacancy created thru the recent resignation of T. W. Lehman, who has entered the southern pine business. Mr. McGill is a native Chicagoan who went to the Coast ten years ago. For some years he gained practical mill experience with the Walville Lumber Co., Walville, Wash., and the Guerrier Lumber Co., Forest, Wash. He then went with Fred Cutler to Portland, and there joined him in the organization of the Cutler Lumber Co. Some time afterward the Guerrier Lumber Co. bought a mill at Oregon City, Ore., and Mr. McGill opened sales offices in Portland for this company, handling the output of its two mills, Mr. McGill leaves this connection to take over the Chicago office of the Saari-Roblin Lumber Co., which is a reorganization of the SaariTully Lumber Co. T. W. Lehman has opened sales offices at 1500 Majestic Building for the E. G. Phinney Co., of Jacksonville, Fla., manufacturer of southern pine lumber, timbers, ties and piling.
BOOM AT LAKE COMMUNITIES One feature of the market situation in the Chi. cago territory is the exceptionally brisk trade en. joyed by local wholesalers from the lake communi. ties within a radius of fifty to one hundred miles of Chicago. It appears that a large number of families have, on account of the high rents charged in Chicago, decided to give up their apartments for the summer and until fall live “next to nature" and commute to the city. Realtors report that there is a boom in the sale of property fronting on or near to the numerous lakes in this region, especially in northern Illinois, and that an extraordinarily large number of cottages are being built. The result is that much lumbe is now moving to lake communities that ordinarily the lumber wholesaler rarely hears from, One large local wholesaler reports that he has during the last few weeks shipped twelve cars of lumber, six of them of siding, to a little northern Illinois lake town of only 400 population, which ordinarily does well if it buys two carloads a year. This wholesaler says that this demand for lumber for small cottage construction easily is the feature of the present business handled by his concern, at a time when city trade is more quiet than ever before in his memory, and when the country trade with the

LARGE BUILDING PROJECTS PLANNED BUFFALO, N. Y., May 25.--Some large projects are in sight here, and builders are encouraged over the outlook. Work started this week on the demolition of some of the buildings on the site of the new Hotel Statler, to be erected on Niagara Square, and to cover a whole block. This will be one of the most important building undertakings ever carried out here, as the expenditure will be about $6,000,000. Across the square it is planned to erect a new 9-story building for the Ellicott Club.

HOLD CONFERENCE ON BUILDING DETROIT, Mich., May 24.-Building costs reduced 30 percent in the last year, and still leaving a dearth of building in Detroit, mean only one thing—the need for more building and loan associations for financing home building, John J. Comerford, president Detroit Lumber Co., told three hundred representatives of the building industry here today. The conference was called primarily to de. termine what is wrong with building in Detroit. A general investigation of costs of material entering into building construction was voted unanimously by the representatives, among whom more than fifty were directly or indirectly interested in the lumber business. After four hours and a half of informative talks by representatives of the building contractors, material dealers, architects, and engineers, a committee was named to “dig into's the situation and to report in two weeks to a similar meeting. Mr. Comerford was chairman of the meeting. He will call the second conference, Opinion was sharply divided as to whether building costs had reached rock bottom in Detroit, despite the fact that it is generally known the decline has been drastic. Mr. Comerford urged business men thruout the city to support the establishment of additional buildloan associations. Lumber dealers, plumbers, brick manufacturers and labor representatives strongly asserted that reductions in their fields could go no further without disastrous results. G. M. Thomas, head of a mortgage company, declared investors in building and loan associations were not getting enough returns to attract further capital into the field. He said: Under the State laws banks re prohibited from investing their capital beyond a certain percentage in building operations, Outside money must be brought into Detroit. The big insurance companies have the money and they should be dealt with in any effort to obtain home building funds. The builders themselves should be content with reasonable profits. George Howensein, secretary Detroit Lumber Dealers’ Association, was one of the principal speakers. Said he: Detroit is the richest city of the middle West, and labor and capital in the building occupations a re getting along better than in any other city of this size and yet building here for the last few months has been equal only to 50 percent of a corresponding period of last year. Waiting for assurances that prices will drop no further and insufficient financing for home building are the two things holding back building most seriously. B. F. Stephenson, real estate man, asked for an investigation of an agreement between the master plumbers and the wholesale plumbing houses which refuse to sell builders plumbing material unless a master plumber is employed. The following chart prepared by Walter Harkness, contractor, showing that prices have been reduced radically, was exhibited: Iarch 1 Feb 17 Jau Li Dofla

Mr. Leadbetter said he had just returned from California and is optimistic over the outlook, for wherever one goes in California one beholds great activity in the building line. The marine strike, he said, had caused many export mills to close down and had thrown business to mills of the Willamette Valley, and he expects this

The most extended remarks at the luncheon Donald H. Clark, of the shingle branch West were made by E. E.

Mr. Case said repeatedly that the square about in order to give the final refutation to unit was the only consistent and logical method, what he stated bluntly was a “lie." He made declaring: a positive statement that the Rite-Grade move As shingle manufacturers and shingle wholesalment was becoming stronger, and that rumors ers, there is one thing we are going to do, all of We are going to sell shingles by the square, to the contrary were merely propaganda by or we are going to get out of business. I do not certain destructive agencies. mean the Case Shingle & Lumber Co. alone, but all George A. Bergstrom, of the Pacific Timber firms making and handling red cedar shingles. Present conditions necessitate this method of merCo., Everett, the C. B. Lumber & Shingle Co., chandising. Practically all dealers east of the Everett, and the Mukilteo Shingle Co., Mukilteo, Mississippi River are in favor of it. The more I said his concerns had adhered to the square pack investigated the East, where you can travel a hun
dred miles and not see one shingled roof, the more I am convinced that the square is the sane method. The first thing we have to do is to depend on the retailer as the man who will sell our product, and in order to secure the proper result it is necessary for us to obtain his good will. If not, we will be out of it. The majority of the yards prefer to sell shingles, for they find patent roofing on sale in every hardware store. There is a possibility of doubling our output, but we can't just sit down and ship our shingles. The dealers where the competition is the hardest say this square pack of ours is the most forward step they have seen, for the square affords the basis for the only intelligent way in which you can talk to a prospective customer, In answering objections to our method of packing' I said plainly, "We'll tie our shingles with silk ribbons, if you want them that way," but I made it clear to the retailers wherever I met them that in backing the square pack we were trying to do something for them, and that they would be asking us to put up shingles in the right way. After my experiences with retailers there is no question in my mind that the square is the most advanced mode and the greatest move for marketing we have yet seen. Notwithstanding the attitude of Kansas City and Minneapolis, I am convinced that we are going to the square. In fact, we must go to the square, or you and I and all of us will quit business. Mr. Case told of the astonishing results of his demonstration of comparative costs of laying red cedar shingles and patent roofing. He submitted a tahle showing the comparative costs. down to the last nail. He continued: When you tell the average retailer that the best grades of red cedar shingles can be laid for less than the lowest grades of prepared roofing, his usual answer is that you must be mistaken—that such a thing can not possibly be true. My_method of handling such a prospect is to say "You can figure, can't you ?" and then I give him the data on which the demonstration can be made absolutely. In Kansas City territory, for example, the cheapest one-ply patent roofing costs $14.42 per square for laying, while we can put on a roof of Royal shingles in that territory for $13.86 per square. The actual difference in favor of Royals as against patent roofing is about 80 cents per square. When I have made this demonstration, as anyone can make it who will take the trouble to figure the thing out, they have told me "This is the greatest selling argument in favor of shingles packed by the square that we have ever seen.' But we must do something. We must educate the consumer to the value of our output. If we were to spend $500,000 a year for two years our investment in proper publicity would bring us back $3,000,000, and we would double the production of red cedar shingles. E. L. Conner, representing Conner & Bailey and the Clough-Hartley Shingle Co., of Everett, spoke pointedly on the square as compared with the thousand pack, telling how his firms had stood back of the square, selling 95 percent on that basis, and how also they had sold squares in Kansas City and Minneapolis. He referred to the premium paid for the thousand pack when the demand became keen. W. H. Oliver, sales manager of the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Co., stated that his concern had been packing by the thousand but stood ready to go on the square basis as soon as there was a demand for it. He referred to the Rite-Grade mark, and said he believed

(Continued from page 46) “I know that the Southern Pine Associa- He said that between eight thousand and ten thousand mills are cutting southern pine timber, while about two hundred fifty mills are members of the Southern Pine Associa- tion. The eight thousand to ten thousand mills included those which are members of the North Carolina Pine Association and the Georgia-Florida Saw Mill Association, he said. In the particular southern pine belt, the num. ber of mills is six thousand to eight thousand. Mr. Hoover desired to know what proportion of southern pine is manufactured by mills in some association. Mr. Rhodes said it was about 50 percent. Mr. Stark said about 25 percent of hardwood is manufactured by mills in his association, a large number of small hardwood mills not being members. Secretary Hoover said that in the event the Secretary Houston and Mr. Steuart in charge of the gathering, Speeding Up of Publication Desirable Mr. Houston said it was Secretary Hoover's He wanted to know how soon after the end of the month the associations could furnish the data to go into the proposed reports. Mr. Rhodes glanced at some of the southern pine reports. He said the one he held in his hand was dated the 21st, and that usually the data could be had by the 15th or 20th. He said there were physical limitations, lack of clerical assistance at the mills etc. He thought this work probably could be speeded up a bit with Uncle Sam actively interested in it. A request for the information from a department of the Government naturally, would add to its importance, he thought. Mr. Houston said it was possible for the Government to enforce the filing of reports but that Secretary Hoover is not disposed to do so, not believing it would be of real benefit to the industry. Coast Leaders Promise Full Coöperation Dr. Wilson Compton told Mr. Houston that the lumbermen were fortunate in having present J. J. Donovan, representing the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and F. K. McFarlanı, representing the California Redwood Association. He said that a larger proportion of mills on the west ('oast we in the associations. Vr. VeFarlan said that most of the mills not association members are large and just as able and as willing to coöperate with the Government as the association mills. Mr. Donovan declared that the West Coast Lunbermen's Association was ready to coöpcrate 100 percent.
Labor Inflation Holds Up Building Thx lumber manufacturer already has deflated. course, these prices are impossible. The retailer must deflate and labor must deflate and other factors entering into building before we get construction going the way it should. I have been greatly impressed recently in visiting cities in many States. Everywhere I heard complaints of high rents and scarcity of homes. It was universal. The shortage extends to commercial buildings as well as homes. Mr. Donovan referred to a reply he read in a New York newspaper to published comment concerning the lack of building. He mentioned the situation which has been disclosed in the building trades there, and said that whoever wrote the little item hit the nail squarely on the head when he said that failure of labor to realize that it must deflate along with other factors was the chief obstacle. With building trades employees refusing to work for less than $1 or $1.25 an hour, he said, building is not going forward. He added that in many instances where there is a lot of discussion of building booms he found they were mostly in architects' offices and not actually constructing buildings and houses. The officials and lumbermen were much impressed with what Mr. Donovan said. Mr. Houston again suggested that the lum- He asked Mr. Steuart to say a few words, W. C. Sherman, president Georgia-Florida prepared to coöperate, and it was simply a mat- ter of determining what was to be done and how. So far as his association was concerned, Mr. Sherman said that he could pledge the closest support. He said in reply to Mr. Steuart's suggestion that he thought each regional association should be responsible for gathering the data in its particular region. This met with general approval. Stock Data Important to Hardwood Men Mr. Stark said that the hardwood men naturally were most largely interested in stocks on hand and were prepared to furnish this data. He referred to the fact that hardwood mills are required to carry much larger stocks on account of the longer time required for drying etc. Endorsed by Hardwood and Softwoods Groups After some more general discussion the hardwood men met in a group by themselves while the softwood men got together and went over the problem. The result was the adoption of a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the conference that Mr. Hoover's project be en: dorsed and that the actual work of coöperation
