troIIed by Local Capital Will Con-
struct Big Lumber Yard at

A transfer of interests controlling the
Pacific Lumber company, one Of the
largest lumber corporations in the
country, which was effected this month,
brings the executive offices to Los An
geles from San Francisco. c. w. Pen
noyer and Temple e. Dorr have pur-
chased the controlling interest in the
company from the Eddy-Murphy in
terests, and Mr.. Pennoyer, whose home
is in Los Angeles, has been elected
president of the corporation.
Although Selwyn Eddy Of San Fran
cisco retires from the presidency of the
company he still retains an active in-
terest and remains as an advisory MEM

the company are c.. w. Pennoyer, Los
Angeles, president; Temple E. Dorr,
Saginaw, Mich, vice president; William
H. Murphy, Detroit, Mich, secretary,
and H. M. Robinson, Pasadena, treas
urer.
Mr.. Pennoyers election as president
places the business into the hands of
young men, although they have all
served a thorough apprenticeship in the
lumber business and still have the ad-
visory benefits of the older men in
terested in the company. The officers
of the company have large plans iii
keeping it among the leading COM
panies in the lumber trade of the coun-
try, and these will work out to the ad-
vantage of Southern California. This is
particularly true in regard to the new
yard on the harbor at Wilmington,
