 Through the generosity of citi- zen it may be possible even to get some cushions free of cost.

MORE ARIZONA LUMBER
TO BE USED AT HOME

Group conferences, with producers,
dealers, architects and builders parti-
cipating, have done much in the past
30 days to solve the marketing prob
lens of Arizona lumber companies.
These meetings., sponsored by the
Arizona Industrial Congress and hav
ing as their objective the extension of
the "Buy Arizona Products" to an
other important state industrial actiy
ity, have met with the unanimous sup
port of allied arts and crafts. Tenta
tive agreement has been reached
whereby greater use of Arizona lum-
Der products will be employed in fu-
ture building operations in this state.
The lumber industry, ranking
fourth among the industries of the
state, is seeking a domestic market
for its products and to facilitate the
sales program the Arizona Industrial
Congress has undertaken extension of
its cooperative plan to include lumber
and lumber products.
An educational program, to fully
acquaint Arizona architects and build
ers with the qualities of Arizona lum-
Der, has been inaugurated by the in
dustrial body as the first step to pop

At a recent meeting at Phoenix,
representatives of the industry in
formed the industrial congress that
the mills of Arizona are now equipped
to supply dealers with complete stocks
of thoroughly seasoned materials IN
practically all cuts save the dimension
lumbers.
1t also was brought out at this
meeting that Arizona white pine has
been proved far superior to Oregon
pine or Douglas fir for concrete form
work while native pine flooring was
declared by contractors in attendance
to be of better and more lasting grade
than the Oregon pine. 1t likewise was
brought out in the discussion that this
Arizona wood is much easier to work
than the northwestern timbers.
Anther point of interest developed
at the Phoenix conferences was that
the monthly payrolls of the big lum

amounted to $330,000, practically all

FAIR TO ARIZONA, so
CALIFORNIAN is FIRED

A Friendly attitude" toward Ari-
zona was assigned by H. S. McClus-
key of the Arizona Colorado river
commission as the reason for the
resignation recently of Paul Bailey as
California state engineer.
McCluskey said that members of
the California river commission had
predicted Bailey's release at the Den
yer conference of Colorado river basin
states. The Arizonan opined that re-
ports made by Bailey in California
and used by the Arizona commission
prompted the resignation Of the Cali
fornia engineer.
Particularly, said McCluskey, were
the California commissioners infuri-
ated by a statement used by Arizona
which intimated that California had
designs on waters of the Colorado riv-
er many years in advance of the time
when the water can be utilized.

CALIFORNIA RANCHES
SUPPLY 78@ OF BEEF

SAN FRANCISCO, March 81 = Out
of the total number of beef cattle go
ing into beef consumption in Californ-
ia. during 1926, 1870 came from ranch
es within the state, and all but 20
of the remainder came from The states
of Nevada, Utah Oregon and Arizona.
This fact, compiled by The California
Cattlemen's association, indicates that
home production of fat cattle plays by
far the most important part in our beef
supply and shows that California is
self supporting in this respect for about
ten months in the year
The number of beef cattle moved to
market from California ranches last
year represents in round figures a
money turnovea of some $3O,O00,000
and gives some idea of the Importance
of the beef industry to the state These
figures do not include calves.
The people Of California consume
on the average about so pounds OF
beef per person per year.
