able position. •
Gee. Thompson, Governor ][N addition to the large timber
W. D. Coburn, Secretary I acquisition, the transaction" is
also important because of the other
PoiSon assets that have been ac-
quired. The Polson railroad sys-
tem of 125 miles which when corn-
MEXICAN bined with Rayonier'a present rail-
road provides tile only existing
outlet for a large part of the
publicly owned thnber on the
OLiDA V Western Olympic peninsula. In
addition extensive tidelands and.
booming grounds on the tidelands,
either owned or under leaSe by the
& Poisons are acquired by Rayonier.
Tlmse are important to the task
K/fd#EN of getting logs to the mills at
lowest cost. Equally important and
as part of the company's pur-
FMd$/ chase, are the Polson investments
in the Ozette railway company
and the Bay City Lumber com-
pany •
rHE entire Polson purchase by
JL Rayon]or, extent of which is
almost beyond comprehension.
when boiled down as to its conno-
tations to the industrial picture of
Shelton is of vast importance in
that the local plant will no longer
be at the mercy of purchase of
logs from the open market or
from over supply at other Ray-
on]or mills, bat rather a contin-
uous flow of raw material can be
expected from the company's own
woods operations.
HIS writer sat at the breakfast
table across from Mr. Bartsch
this week and heard from him the
details of the vast acquisition of
NEED A Rayonier from the Polson family.
I was interested in the things that

as giving off the same glow of[

who had been pacing the hospital

Lincoln PTA Holds:
"Book Week" Meet
The Lincoln PTA met at the
school house last Thursday, No-
vember 13, for a regular moathly
meeting.
Being "Book Week," a rewew of
several various books for children
from the first to the sixth grades
were received by Mrs. Richard L.
Hudson.
Mrs. Ruth Anderson assisted
Mrs. Hudson by showing illustra-
tions of the books on the opaque
projector.
This machine, presented to the
school two years ago by the PTA
is used in the classrooms to ilh|s-
trate maps and pictures in books.
By opening a book and sliding
it into the machine as a slide of
the map or picture is projected on
the screen and enlarged several
times.
Mrs. Laura K. Plumb told of
how she came to write the story
["Big Timber" which was published
in the "Children of the USA" ser-
ies of books compiled by Marion
Brides Cook.
Following the meeting refresh-
ments were served by the first
grade mothers. Mrs. John Ella-
son and Mrs. Josephine Cross
pou,'ed.
Hood Calml Church
Charles E. Fuller of the Old
Fashioned ievival Hour presents
Joseph W. Johnston of the Fuller
Evangelistic Foundation, Novem-
ber 23 through December 7, at
the Hood Canal Community Church
in Hoodaport each evening at 7:30.
All are invited to attend and hear
this interesting speaker whose ex-
periences as pastor, Bible teacher,
evangelist and missionary give
him a colorful background.
Work progresses at the Ladies'
Society of the Church, who are
assisting the Shelton Baptist
Church in their aid for tim leper
colony in the Belgian Congo. Do-
nations are asked for of used .ma-
terials for leper patients as well
as children of the colony school.
Materials needed are: used razor
blades• marbles, whistles, pen point
holders, old Christmas cards, rul-
ers, all to be old as duty on new
materials is too high. Bring all
material to the church.
Christmas Trees ,'
(Continu.d From Peg , )n') I
ing is the tendency to let the sap-
linga become too crowded. It is
important that the young firs be
given plenty of air so their'
branches will become strong and /
full. ' {
He would rather grow one ex-[
cellent tree from a plot of ground|
than two or three spindly trees
that won't sell properly. He does
his own selling, and knows what[
the customers want. " t
EVERY SEASON for the last[
several years the Neldon's have I
gone to "San FranciSco with their 1
annual crop of Christmas trees to l
sell them on the retail market. '
Tim past two' years he has had I
an open-air stand on Market
Sredt where a0 estimated 50:000
Obple pass by eaci day. Thkee I
year's ago he had a atorc building
at Mission and 22nd streets, in
the "Little San Francisco" shop-
ping center,
Comparing the merits of open
and inside selling, he favored the
inside work He said that the San
Francisco wind will dry trees too
fast so they won't last properly.
Besides, it is cold and foggy nmst
of the time and can become miser-
able work outdoors.
ANOTHER innovation in Christ-
mas tree production which Nel-
don says has gained him a steady
trade in the Bay city is the use
of price tags on every tree.
"Customers can get you mighty
confused if .Wu don't have tags on,
your trees," he said. "They will i
ask the prices on a dozen trees,
then finally return to one you had
first priced for .them. If you don't',
tell then] the same price the sec-
ond time, the customers get rather
irritated. [
"WITHOUT the tags," he con- I
tinucd, "It is hard to remember I
whether you told him that tree'
would sell for $1.25 or $1.50. With
every tree marked, the customers
can shop around and pick the tree
they want by themselves, and
know what they will have to pay
for it."
Speaking of shrewd customers,
Neldon said that the Chinese
bought many of his trees in San
Francisco,
"One old fellow would usually
come around and ask the prices
on most° of the trees on the' lot,
and refuse to read the tags him-
self saying that he couldn't read
English." Neldon said,
"IF HE liked your prices,, the
canny .old fellow apparently tbld
all the Chinese in the district
about ,it and they would come
shopping by the hundreds."
Neldon will leave for San Fran-
cisco again this year in two or
three weeks to set up.his business
for another short Christmas sea-
son. He is planning to cut only
about 3,000 trees from his own
land this year because of the re,-
stable market for Christmas trees•
He will buy more from whole-
sale dalers if his supply runs low,
and if sales aren't too bigh, he
won't waste valuable young trees.
NELDON looks upon his farn,-
ing project as a business, and he
docm't believe in taking huge loss-
ca. He would rather play safe and
]cave so,no trees for next year.
Incidentally, he was amused and
somewhat chagrined at the con tro- i
versy brought forth each year over
tl,c "slaughter of our young for- 1
eats•"
I
He said that he ,raises hia trees
on his own land, and hc practices
conservation methods whicll will I
give ifim thq,maximum production
from the mlfimum land.
He feels that "consewatloniSts"
who ra,se an ammal wail aren't[
fpllowing truly democratic pr!n-
ciples. . '
They wouldn t 'object to a
farmer clearing land of trees with'
a bull-dozer so be could i'aise his
crops---why slmuld they o bjcll to
my Using mY land aa I see fit?"
he queried. [
