White Pine's Great Showing 

 The exhibit of the Northern Pine Manufacturers' Association 

 ■ .liters in the showing of white pine for exterior uses, or in other 

 words for an outside covering in home-building. To attractively do 

 this there is created a miniature interior garden, with pool, foun- 

 tain, flowers, grass, shrubs, walks, colonnade, pergola, French win- 



• Inw eflfects, a tea house, and all surrounded by a balustrade with 

 irbored entrance. Then there is shown an attractive miniature 

 House, with pleasing entrance, and an artistically designed interior. 

 Into this setting will be interpolated the practical pari of the 

 exhibit, showing white pine of to-day, with some transparencies 

 .ind pictures in addition to the wood itself, together with some 

 glimpses into historical New England. 



The historical portion of the exhibit will be emphasized by 

 examples of the very early houses of New England and including 

 a picture of the earliest house of which there is any authentic 

 record in the United States, built in 1628, torn down in 1S94, 

 together with a statement from the tenth granddaughter as 

 regards it, also a piece of the white pine from this house. 



There is a picture of the oldest wooden house now standing in 

 America, built in 1636, also a statement from the eighth grandson 

 as regards it, and a section of the white pine siding from this 

 house. 



There is shown a section of the white pine summer house from 

 Meiiford, Mass., seven and one-half feet wide and fourteen feet 

 Tiigh, in which the battle of Bunker Hill was planned. Also a 

 Kiss white pine door, and the front dnor head from the famous 

 John Hancock House, Lexington, ;Mass.. of date 17.37, and numor

ii.AY OP Y'bmx)w Pine 



The Niir.iiitii .« MiiuHc will Ite shown by the Yellow Pine Mann 

 facturers' Association. Nuremberg house is built in the four 

 teenth century style of German architecture, of which many 

 renmrkable examples are to be found at Nuremberg and Kothen- 

 berg. Tho large room in a somewhat later period of architecture, 

 in dark Flemish, was designed 'by Louis Smetann, architect, and 

 was one of the original rooms for the Y'ellow Pino Manufacturers' 

 Association house, exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- 

 tion, St. Louis, in 1904. The exterior, with entrance, porch, and 

 circuhir l>ay, was designed by Kotli and Stuiiy, an'hitocls, who 

 chose that type of house which offered every possible use of wood 

 in its construction, so that the entire structure, from foundation 

 to peak of roof, might be built of southern yellow pine. 



Tho walls are covered with rough siiling up to tho window sills, 

 and from that point on are of half-timber work, hold together by 

 wooden pins. The roof is of heavy hand-split shingles laid in irreg- 

 ular courses. The possibilities of yellow pine for more elaborate 

 work is shown in the wood carvings on both the interior and the 

 exterior, where much of the 8]>irit of the Gothic carvings has been 

 obtained. The interior of the circular bay has been painted white 

 to illustrate the use of southern yellow pine in colonial house 

 interiors. 



West Coast Lumbermen 



Scenic attractiveness will distinguish the West Coast I.umbor 

 Manufacturers' Association, with headquarters at Taconia and a 

 branch department at Portland. It will consist mainly of a four- 

 room bungalow, open as to sides and roof. The uses of fir and 

 ce<lar in (loor, ceiling, and panel construction will be splendidly 

 set oflP in the interior woodwork. A living room will be furnished 

 entirely in western hemlock. On the second floor of the bungalow 

 will be shown small specimens, such as shingles, log sections, col- 

 ored panels, frames, creosoted Douglas fir, and curios. 



A special announcement of the Forest Products Exposition, with 

 mention of the West Coast exhibit, has been made by the asso- 

 ciation in the form of 20,000 printed inserts, given to the mills 

 with the request that they insert them in their eastbound mail, 

 especially mail going to retail dealers. 



E. T. Allen is directing arrangements for the exhibit of the 

 Western Forestry Conservation Association, which will be made in 

 conjunction with the United States Government display, and will 

 prove of unusual interest to dealers, manufacturers, and all men 

 of the industry, as well as to all public-spirited citizens interested 

 in tho forwarding of true, scientific, beneficial conservation. 

 Government Investigators 



Exhibition materials of the office of the Industrial Investiga- 

 tions, United Statbs Forest Service, for display at the Forest 

 Proilucts Exposition at Chicago and Now York, will consist of 

 numerous diametric charts and maps, as well as fourteen wall cases 

 containing interesting samples of forest products. The charts will 

 show the timber regions of the United States, the annual produc- 

 tion of lumber by states, and species, the consumption by indus- 

 tries and by species of the lumber cut in this country, and the 

 changing importance of the principal producing regions and centers 

 of primary forest activity. This will be illustrated with numerous 

 photographs. Several wall cases will be devoted to samples show- 

 ing the utilization of sawmill and factory wa.ste. This exhibit will 

 lip nf most practical value and will contain genuine hints for man-
