The Meridian Lumber Company bas Ixen using several mnk-n of ma- 

 chines. In selecting a LIdgcrwood It nns strongly Influenced hy the 

 successful operation of the Long Bell machines and the one it bought ia 

 n( that type. While the other two machines mentioned above have steel 

 frames this machine bas a wood frame. One important dlflTerence between 

 I his nmohlne and those of the Long Bell company Is In the character and 

 nrrangement of the skidding blocks at the boom end. These blocks are 

 very large, using 24" sheaves, ThU part nf the mecbaolsm was designed 

 by I{. I,. Boyd of the Meridian Lumber I'onipany and wag added after 

 I III' machine arrived In the woods. This mneblne carries on tbe lank car 

 ii horizontal return tubular boiler of 12."< II. P. 



Those variations are all made easily possible because of tbe I.Mii'-rwood 

 s.vstnm of building up skidilers by the unit svsi.iii. 



Appeals for Funds for Hoo-Hoo Building at San Francisco 



The opening note of Ihe campaign for IIoo-Hoo parilclp.ilion In tbe 

 r.uiiiburmfn's building :ind bnus!.' of Ilnollnn. to lie constructed at the 

 Sun Kranclsco lyiij ICxposltlon, will be sounded by C, S, Grace, of the 

 Supreme Nine, in the .luly Issue of tbe IIooHoo Bulletin. 



-Mr, Bruce is one of tbe enthusiastic members of the board of govern- 

 m-s having this project in hand, and feels certain that prompt and gen- 

 erous response will be made by Hoo-JIoo nf the Pacific coast staica west 

 nf the Rocky Mountains when the apiieal for support by taking mem- 

 berships In this enterprise Is made to them. He la also confident that 

 nmny eastern HooUoo will take oppnrtunily to take out uiemherships, 

 i"th for the good of tbe order and Inenuse they want to fwl independent 

 I visiting San Francisco next year. The advantages of a bouse of Hoo- 



•I at both St. I>ouls and Seattle exiiositions appealed strongly to all 



iiibers of tbe order and all lumber ii, and considering tbe privileges 



- i.ued for self, family and friends, tbe $'J.!)0 that a membership costs 

 ms inslgnlflcant. 



.Mthougb tbe flrst appeal for funds for this project was mode to lum- 

 nuen as such, it Is considered that many, who have not responded .yet 



■ iliat presentation of tbe matter, on account of the depressed condition 

 : Ihe lumber Industry, having caused litem to establish a policy of re- 



) k'tion of all subscription enterprises, will promptly respond as loyal 

 I .IIoo. 



'.niite a number of Hoo-IIoo have already volunteered their member- 



l<s without waiting for gollcitation, and this spontaneous action bas 



11 very much appreciated by tbe board of governors. It is earnestly 



Imped and expected that many others will now follow suit and send In 



draft covering as many memberships as they desire at S9.00 each, to
