Clnronc WVMIchnol, local builder, has recently completed a homo In Westmoreland. Tho trim Is of natural California redwood, shellacked, band rubbed and oilod, which, brings out tho grain ot tho wood and niakos a most pleasing fin ish, Thoro is a growing ubo for red wood in Portland. Tho Coon Lum ber Co., which Is making n specialty of rodwood, lias handled 800,000 feet Hlnco tho first of tho year. In dlscussiiig tho subject with ' Sum Connoll, who handlua redwood, bo snld: "From 1887 until 1000 David Forrls, of Han Francisco, operated tho Oregon-California Hodwood Co.'s yard, located on Socond Street. Af ter tho yard was closed Mr. ForrlB returned to San Francisco and died there. Tho demand for rodwood hiingulow aiding is growing in Port land. It sella for loss than spruce siding. In somo canon tho Biding is merely oiled and left In tho natural. Tho tiso of enamel finish In homos is pmiliir, mid redwood takes enam el vory satisfactorily.
