LOGGING CONGRESS MEETS IN 

 DECEMBER 



The tenth session of the Pacific Logging 

 Congress will be held in Portland during 

 December. The exact dates will be an- 

 nounced later. The reason for the date 

 being later than customary is to permit as 

 large an attendance as possible of logging 

 operators and superintendents. At this sea- 

 son of the year their enjoyment of the 

 Congress proceedings will not be marred 

 by fear of forest fires at the camps during 

 their absence. Then, too, at this period of 

 the year a large number of the pine logging 

 operations have closed down for the winter, 

 thus permitting the attendance of delegates 

 who must necessarily come greater distances 

 than the fir men. 



The welfare dinner which has always 

 been a feature of the Congress will be given 

 as usual under the direction of John A. 

 Goodell, of Portland, industrial secretary 

 of the Y. M. C. A. 



President W. W. Peed and Secretary 

 George M. Cornwall are preparing a pro- 

 gram which they believe will excel all 

 previous efforts. The Congress now has a 

 membership of nearly 300 and continues to 

 grow year by year. The membership list 

 includes operators in British Columbia, 

 Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and 

 Montana. 



HOW TO USE WOODEN SHINGLES 



A recent free booklet issued in pamphlet 

 form by the National Lumber Manufac- 

 turers' Association, with headquarters in 

 Chicago, is "Why and How Wooden Shin- 

 gles Should be Used." This booklet was 

 compiled by R. S. Whiting, architectural 

 engineer, and H. H. Isherwood, trade repre- 

 sentatives, respectively, of the association. 

 It is devoted principally to the refutation 

 of the idea that wooden shingles are fire- 

 breeders, and any fair-minded person who 

 will weigh the arguments presented will 

 realize that there are "two sides to every 

 story." As a matter of fact, wooden shin- 

 gles are far superior to any artificial shingle 

 material produced. 



PICTURES OF GAME BIRDS 



A set of very beautiful pictures, in natural 

 colors, of the game birds of America has 

 recently been issued by the publishers of 

 The American Shooter Magazine. They 

 are by Lynn Bogue Hunt, the well-known 

 nature artist. Printed on heavy paper, in 

 natural colors, the pictures are 13 by 14^ 

 inches, and on the back of each is the 

 story about the bird, telling its range, habits, 

 etc. The distribution of these prints is, 

 however, limited to the subscribers to The 

 American Shooter Magazine.
