Do It Now — Not Next Week 



To All I/umbermen : 



A national canipuli^u tu promote the iiho of wood will soon he under 

 way. lOvery branch of the lumber IndUBtry Is convinced that the 

 trade extoDBlon department of the National Lumber Manurncturem' 

 Association olTers best means of doing the neceRMiry work. This, in 

 part, Is 



1. To secure full and authoritative Information upon : fire causes and 

 loswR ; Insurance rates; bulldin); codes; substitutes for wood; autl-wood 

 legislation, and c<irri'ct wood construction. 



2. To disseinlnate these facts by means of bulletins, newspapers and 

 mnKazlnes, spt'akers, exhibits and other appropriate methods. 



.'1. To conduct technical studies ul the properties and treatment of 

 wood as a construction material. 



4. To develop and extend practical fire prevention methods and 

 processes. 



'i. To co-operate with and assist other organizations of woodworking 

 and consuming Interests. 



The plan approved at the conference In February calls for the be- 

 ginning of this work when a minimum of $50,000 per year for Ave 

 years Is subscribed. Four-fifths of this amount Is already guaranteed 

 through the personal pledges of public spirited lumbermen. 



Your support now will put the fund up to the point where work In 

 behalf of wood can be started at once. Seven firms are spending 

 $2.'!.000,000 yearly to increase the use of tobacco. Will the lumber 

 industry longer hesitate about a paltry $50,000 for the promotion of Ita 

 legitimate interests? 



Think of this the next time you take a smoke — but subscribe now to 

 the gimrantee fund. 



R. S. Kellogg, Secretary. 



Forest Fire Damage in Kentucky 

 State Forester J. K. Itarton of Kinti!cky has cMnpiled reports which 

 show a loss from forest fires this spring in eighteen counties of that 

 state, aggregating $S8,9.">0. Reports from other counties, which have no 

 wardens, have not been received. The damage was caused by 142 separate 

 fires. Brush burning in clearing land was chiefly responsible for the 

 escape of fire into standing timber. 



Lassen Volcano Under Observation 



A detail from the Forest Service has been ordered to make a study 

 of the California volcano, Mt. I.assen. The study will consist of obser- 

 vations of phenomena only, and later In the season an expert from 

 the United States Geological Survey will take up the work. This is the 

 only volcano in the United States proper, and there is no longer any 

 question that it is the genuine article. It has become an object of great 

 interest. The mountain is visible from a long distance and is accessible 

 by automobiles within a few miles of Its base. There have been ninety- 

 six separate eruptions in the last year, and tholr violence has increased 

 steadily from the first until the prest-nt. 



Taxing Portable Sawmills 

 If the law in Georgia is good law elsewhere a recent court decision Id 

 that state will prove of interest to owners of portable sawmills. Ac- 

 cording to that decision, such mills are not subject to taxation In a 

 county where they are temporarily located on the land of another. If the 

 owner of the sawmill resides in another county and returns them for 

 taxation as personal property together with other property in the 

 county of his residence. This was held by the state supreme court in 

 a decision in the case of Tax Collector .Joiner et al versus A. F. Pen- 

 nington, appealed from the .Tefferson county superior court. 



French Line to American Ports 



\n announcement that a new French line to .\merican ports will shortly 

 be inaugurated will be gladly received. In view of the present scarcity of 

 ships for commerce. The line is to operate between Marseilles, France, and 

 San Francisco, and is backed, it is said, by Count Guy de Fayolle, general 

 manager of the Transports Maritlmcs Company of France. 



Pacific Coast Lumber for Australia 



The chartering of six American schooners in one day to carry lumber 

 from our Pacific coast ports to Australia is a matter of much interest, and 

 shows an activity that promises good results. Other vessels will follow 

 them. United States' exports of lumber and its products to Australia in 

 the fiscal year 1914 consisted of ?2,747,1S9 worth of fir, $74,2.'")2 of oak, 

 $7.3,651 white pine, $311,115 yellow pine, $1,721 poplar, $1,459,842 red- 

 wood. $7.51.'> spruce, and $.39,421 all other boards and deals; also $2,485 

 worth of Joists and scanting, .?r),84B of shingles, $22,790 box shooks, 

 $7,686 other shooks, $47,951 staves, $84,865 all other lumber, $4,215 

 doors, sash and blinds. $274. 4S1 furniture. $54,423 incubators and brood- 

 ers, $50,318 trimmings and other house finishings, $66,717 woodenware, 

 and $432,807 representing all other manufactures of wood. This makes as 

 aggregate sale to Australia of $5,770,296 worth of American lumber 

 and Its products In the last fiscal year.
