Redwood as an interior finish is now
very popular in all the coast regions
and is finding its way into the east.
Chicago is at present offering an ex-
cellent market for the redwood.
recent national assemblage in San
Francisco was attended by wealthy
Chicagoan who was having built a very
elegant and costly. home in the Windy
City Just before starting for the
coast he had given orders for the lum-
ber for the interior finish, and<expected
to see part of the work done upon
his return from California. But he
came to California and saw some of
the elegant redwood finish that may be
seen here. He was at once struck with
it's richness of color and OF grain. The
more he saw OF it the more he liked it,;
in fact, he was completely captivated
with it. Then he hurried to the near
est telegraph office and sent a wire to
Chicago countermanding the order for
the lumber for the interior finish of
his now mansion given before leaving
for the coast. That task performed he
went to a San Francisco lumber firm
and ordered big bill of redwood to
be dispatched for the east, post haste
to take the place of the rejected lot
of eastern lumber
To show that redwood lumber is in
demand, it In only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that the ''cIear
stun" in the San Francisco market
commands from ss5 to $40 per thousand
feet.

manufactures, arts, engineering and
mechanics, the redwood has not re-
ceived so much attention.
The California redwood has long
been a leading article of lumber used
upon the coast: and its use, instead of
diminishing with time, is increasing.
Look at the great majority of Cali
fornia dwellings,; examine their compo-
sition. and you will find that the red
wood composes the bulk of the lumber
entering into their construction. Joists

found to be composed almost exclu-
sively of redwood, while the same sub

even the roof will be found to have

time and experience have taught the
builder that 1t is the redwood shingle
that has excelled even the cedar shin
gle of the north in durability. In 1860
a certain house in Boston was shingled
with redwood That same house is
standing today. and the original shin
giles cover it. and are said to be nearly
as good as ever. and the Boston eli
mate is a pretty rough one on shin
giles, too.
Then here in California there are
thousands of houses that were shin
gled with redwood thirty, forty and
fifty years ago. and those same shin
giles are almost as sound to-day as
they were when they were put on.
Now. there are very good reasons for
this quality of durability. To begin
with. If you will examine q piece of
average redwood lumber you will find
that 1t is very light in weight. and ii
you will examine it more closely with
the eye you will find that 1t is almost
absolutely free from knots, pitch or

COACH LEONARD CONFIDENT
Believes Hendrix Has Good
 Football Material.
Predicted that Local College will Make
 Strong Bid for State

Sizing up the football situatic T at Hendrix, Coach Leonard de- clares that the local College will put up a faster and headier game tLan ever before. At the first of the season he appeared considerably handicapped by the lack of old material and after Henderson and Douglass had withdrawn from the school a.-d gone to the Normal the outlook was gloomy. How ever, the coach mas shown his knowledge of the men at his dis posal and many believe with him, after seeing the scrimmage of last evening, that his statements are borne out by the work of his men, and even now the machine which he has evolvAd is working faster and smoother than at its best last year.
 He has squad of thirty-6ve to forty men on the field every eve ming, with each man on that squad fighting for place OH the first eleven. Buhler is handling the ball from the center in a most creditable manner, while Bateman, Cannon, Cunningham, Reynolds, Tate and Hughes are assisting on the line. Coach Leonard is most particularly pleased with his back field. Robertson is explaining the team from the quarterbackposition Downing, local boy, is showing up we'll at full, with Whitehead and Shirey on either side as half backs. Meadows, Parker, Cole brothers. Chambeflin, Wilson, Hearnesberger brothers, Hubbell and many others are assisting Anderson, as captain of the second team, in trying to displace first team men. The coach has let it be known that the best man will get the place and before another week there is likely to be a rear engagement, particularly in the line, if the way the second team is fighting means anything, TT e squad will be increased by the presence of Musser and Donaldson, two big husky recent arrivals, and they. look like they mean business.
 With Coac1 Leor ards style ot play it is predicted that Hendrix is going to hustle every other aspirant for championship honors in the Arkansas Association, with a bet chance than ever of winning.
