Proposed San Francisco Association 



A number of prominent Pacific const lumbermen have taken the iultinl 

 steps toward organizing a wwid products association with headqunrlers 

 at San Francisco. The object of the association, as stated in the pro- 

 posed by-laws. Is to serve as a lumber cltnrlng bouse for lumbermen's 

 problems; to promote every possible use of wood; to investigate and 

 counteract fnlsc nnd misleading statements published regarding lumber ; 

 to maintain a permanent exhibit of wood products In Snn Frnnclsco ; to 

 ndvertise lumber throughout Cnllfornla, by lectures, moving pictures, nnd 

 portable exhibits when practicable ; to furnish Information to the public 

 regarding the merits of all Pacific coast forest products, wood preserva- 

 tives, paving blocks and the proper selection nnd treatment of West coast 

 lumber for use. 



The general plan which is to be acted upon at a meeting of charter 

 members to be called In January, follows quite closely the organization 

 of the new lumber bonrd of trade of Detroit, but modified to meet San 

 Francisco conditions. 



Memphians After National Convention 



Ihe Lunibcrii.en'.-. Club of .Meiiipliis nt the regular meeting held nt the 

 Hotel Gayoso January 1 took Important action regarding the forthcoming 

 annunl of the Nntlonnl Hardwocd Lumber .Association. It was decided 

 to extend an Invitation through J. W. Dickson and C. B. Dudley, trustees 

 of that organUntlon, to hold Its annunl in Memphis next June. There will 

 be a meeting of t'le full beard of trustees In Chicago Jnnunry 2.1 at which 

 time the meeting place ffir 1910 will be selected and Messrs. Dickson and 

 Dudley will carry from the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis not only a cor- 

 dial iuvitution to hold the nnniinl lu Memphis but will give every assurnnce 

 of ample arrang'.'ments for entertnln'nent and other features. It was also 

 decided al this meeting that the Lumbermen s Club would favor the candi- 

 dacy of ^. B. .-\nderson, of the Anderson-Tully <"onipnny. for the presidency 

 of the Nntlonnl Hardwood Lumber Association. Memphis has already fur- 

 nished one president of the association In the person of W. H. Russe of 

 Russe & Burgess (Inc.) and the Memphis members of the association feel 

 that they have an able candidate in Mr. Anderson, who is one of the best 

 known lumbermen in this part of the country. In an.7 event It Is certain 

 that, having suggested Mr. Anderson for the presidency, the Lumbermen's 

 Club of Memphis will do everything in Its power to secure this very high 

 honor not only for him but for this city. 



The next regular meeting of the club will be held January 15. This Is 

 the date on which the Gum Lumber Manufacturers' Association will be In
