The Lumberman of last week pub
fishes the following: A good many
people have wondered how the we'll
known w. E. Penfield manages to
sell so much lumber for the Pine Tree
Lumber company, of Little Falls,
MINI But did you ever watch
"Pen' when lie entered Il dealers
office down in Iowa on the hunt for
orders? Well, II you didn't. of
course you wonder why the orders
just naturally gravitate to him.
Pen" is no novice in the business
and the song he sings as he glides
into the dealers private office and
gently catches his ear in something
like this. to the air III the "On the
Bowery,"
Good morning. gentlemen, how do you do?
Ia there anything can do for you?
NV name is Penheld, W. E..
sell lumber for the Pine Tree
Lumber Manufacturing Companee;
Can you give me an order today?
The Pine Tree, The Pine rec,
Lumber Manufacturing Companee.
Their grades are as good as grades can be,
Can you give me an order today?
Our lumber is mostly made of white pine
But what Norway there is in it, you'll find
very fine.
We work pretty hard. but we don't make much
fuss
fyou give us your order we'll shipwith rush.
Yes there is just one way you can make us hush
How? Why give me an order today.
Chorus
The Pine Tree. The Pine Tree.
Ifyou:want any lumber, give your orderto me;
sell lumber for the Pine Tree
Lumber Manufacturing Companee
Can you give me an order today?
We try to make grades that will suit the trade
So that when on your order shipment is made
You will unload the car very cheerfulee
And say There's one car shipped as it should
You can see by the car card It's from the Pine
Tree;
Guess I'll send them an order today"
Chorus
The Pine Tree, The Pine Tree,
Their grades are as good as grades can be,
TO tell you the truth their grades suit me
Their lumber is dry too. as dry as can be,
so I'll send them an order today.

The house had lively tilt the first

the mem bers pushed through a bill
transferring $4,000 from the school
text book fund to the internal improve

stitutionality Of such action. The mat
ter was again brought up in resolution

mitment to the house judiciary commit
tee, and, as ground for the request, a

4, to this fair portion of the state, where
only pure and undefiled standards OBJ
tain, where all the newspapers love
each other, and where the land of sun
shine makes everyone to bow and
every tongue to confess its inimitable
and unassailable supremacy
And yet this very periodical which
is the ideal exponent and expression
of our common interest and our COM
mon pride has enlisted the great tai
ents of its editor because he loves this
beautiful land, and because he turns
not it's attachments bat its literary
possibilities. Shall we help him as he
deserves? Shall we everywhere honor
the high calling of literature? Shall
we indeed make vital and saving lit
erary atmosphere?
MISS INA COOLBRITH'S POEMS
A few weeks ago we made hurried
reference to the collection of Miss
Coolbrith's poems just published IN
der title of "Songs from the Golden
Gate" giving one or two short extracts
therefrom. A further reading con-
firms the opinion then expressed as to
the great excellence of this authors
| work. 1t seems pity that some
twenty years of Miss Coolbrith's life
should have been given up to the hard,
dull round of wearing work in the
Oakland library, from early morning
till late at night-twenty years de-
voted to dear dependent onea-making
the exercise of her gift Of poetry i'm
practi cable, if not we'll nigh impossi-
BILE.
Was she thinking of this expression
when she wrote, "But l cannot sit in
| the shadow forever and sing of the
SUM-?
And during these twenty years she
lost her greatest helpers. Whittier,
Holmes and many more had read her
earlier lines and written her words of
|. praise and encouragement, advising
| her to give her whole heart and time
| to literary art and Offering personal
| help to advance her interests with
publishers.
But these are gone, they who could
| help her most now that she has decided
| to live and work in the lines she loves.
Our readers will thank US for giving
them further extracts from the
| "Songs," and for the announcements
that the handsome volume from the
press of Houghton, Mifllin & Co., Bos-
ton, is now to be had from the trade
here. To the guild of California au-
thors we owe the successful enterprise
Of suitably bringing out this volume.
They have done gallant service to a
talented and delightful woman. and be-
slowed, at the same time, genuine
honor upon the state.
Who can show us anything finer than
this picture Of the Western Winter Sea?
o Sea of the West, that comes
With sound as OF rolling drums,
With muffled beat
As OF marching feet
Up the long LIFTS o. sand,
Tee golden drifts OF sand,
On the long long shining strand,
An opal trimmed with blue,
An emerald shining through
The pearls and ruby's dyes,
And crests that catch the blaze
OF the diamonds ravs,
Under thy perfect skies.
The herald., 1895-12-22

We have heard much talk about the
"fevor," the "local color" of what has
been denominated the literature of
this coast, which, being interpreted,
means the literature of California
newspapers, and orators have been loud
and constant in claiming that Califor-
mia has literature largely, if not dis
tinctively and exclusively her own.
OF course not all newspapers, and not
all orators have been thus bold and
explicit, but SO many have been the
claims that the matter has often at
tracted the attention and challenged
the criticism OF our eastern friends.
Now, literary habit, character and
atmos phere can never be said to have
been created 30 swiftly as claimed in
the case of California. Mark Twain,
Bret Hsrte and many more who became
known in the early history of the state,
were men who merely happened to
have been landed-if not stranded
here in the stress of young adventure.
Ant it may be added that most of them
departed in very much the same way
as that by which they came. They
gave to journalism and literature a
new turn and zest, but where is the one
who has not found his Warmest well
come and his final abiding place else
where? Bret Harte lived upon the
gracious favor of few appreciative
friends who sought Political or other
helps for him during all his connection
with literary work in San Francisco.
His income was so Scanty that it had
to be supplemented from another
source, and when his fame was made as
writer he found employment only by
going away forever. It is simple truth
to say that he might as we'll have be-
gun life in Wyoming as in California,
and so Of every other genius. When
one is discovered his work
goes into the great markets.
Many bright men and women
have been discovered in these literary
heavens, but only q few have remained
as fixed stars. In fact, good literary
form and general excellence of attain
ments and discipline in work havN
neither been greatly cherished nor gems
erously sustained on this coast, fact
attested in many ways
Devoted men and women have devot-
ed money and brains to the establish
Ing of magazine that should represent
the whole coast, and have not only
AOuhu lnAiuiCs cut oil euuiIo ldCk VI Or
binary interest in any such enterprise.
Aye, more than this. These men and
women have actually encountered the
querulous, fippant and even brutal
disparagement of large brood Of jour
nalistic outlaws, whose lives, so far
from being helps to literature, have be-
come revenges upon it, The capable
and devout literary worker, so far from
finding or being permit ed to establish
high standards, has gone without praise
or pay. So far from finding literary
atmosphere, the tirst-class writer has
drawn stified breath in an atmos-
phere pervaded and polluted by the
dominat ng influence of literary law
lessne5s.
q course these remarks do not spply
