Lou Kellison Honored
For 20 Years Service
Lou Kcllison, manage!' of the
Copeland Lumber Yard in Klam-
ulh Falls, was honored and pre
sented with a 20-year service pin
at the company's annual banquet
In Portland's Multnomah Hotel
Saturday, Jan. 21.. The banquet
climaxed a four-day sales meet
ing of Copcland's 57 yard matt'
acers. ;
' The presentation was made by
Joseph W. toiieland, president
and general manager. "Lou Kcl
lison is a real fine businessman
and. cnually important. 'he is a
real fine gentleman," Mr. Cope
land said. "Heis one of the most
valued members of our organiza
tion. We are equally proud of
Mrs. Kcllison who works in our
office in Klamath Falls.
- "It is people liko the Kcllisonsi
ho have helped our organization
to become a line of 57 yards in
Oregon, Washington, Nevada and
California."
In response, Kcllison said he
valued his 20 years of service
with Hip Copeland organization,
since they hud been not only prof
itable but enjoyable.
Optimism was the keynote at
tho Portland meeting. Increased
lumber sales nrd more home
building are expected by Copclainl
Lumber Yards in 1961, the prosl
dent forecast. He said he based
his optimism partly on "increased
business en far this year, partlv
plans of our customers and
partly on the general feeling."
Cplieland Lumber Yards, which
arc In their 49lh year, tins year
expects to equal or exceed its
average sale of 50 million board
feet of lumber yearly. Copeland
believes hi? big rlrguinzalinn will
see more plywood sold at cur
rent lower prices. He added,
"We're sorry to see the prices
come down too low hr-cmise it
hurts the economy of the re
gion." Prices of most building
materials have held pretty stable,
lie pointed out, execirt for some
softening, too, of lumber prices."

MARKET NOTE
Taking note of the market's
hesitancy on Tuesday' and
Wednesday, Martin Gilbert of Van
Alstyne, Noel & Co. savs there
"Our primary aim in seeking
control of WP has always been to
take advantage of the opportuni
ties for these important improve
ments that the parallel and in
terweaving nature of SP and WP
lines affords." he said, "and this
would not be changed."
Under the proposed arrange
ment, which would also require
approval of the ICC, Southern Pa
cific would be agreeable to West
ern Pacific granting Santa Fe full
trackage rights to serve indus
tries now or hereafter located
along the WesteSi Pacific line
mentioned. Santa Fe would also
be able to interchange cars di
rectly with the Great Northern at
Bieber.
Russell said that SP contem
plates that reasonable rental
charges would be assessed against
Ihe Santa Fe for use of Western
Pacific trackage and that operat
ing and maintenance charges
would be divided as they now are
on the 67-mile line between the
Moiave and Bakersfield, where
Santa Fe has been using South
ern Pacific tracks over the Teha-
chapi mountains for the past 75
years.
Details of the proposal will be
given at public hearings which
the ICC is expected to hold this
spring on control of the Western
Pacific.
"We plan to put on a full and
specific case showing how the
public will benefit Irom bP con
trol of Western Pacific," Russell
said, "through more efficient, bet
ter and less costly rail service
lhan can be offered by any other
plan for the Western Pacific.

dend, in the amount of $2,512,500
and representing 201.000 addition
al shares of stock, will be paid
on or about Feb. 15, to share
holders of record Jan. 24, ac
cording to Ralph J. Voss, president.
All directors and advisory di
rectors were reelected by the
shareholders. At the organization
meeting of the board which fol-i
lowed the shareholders meeting,
the regular quarterly cash divi
dend of 55 cents per share was
declared on the increased number
of shares lo be outstanding, pay
able April 1 to shareholders of
record March 18.
Elected vice presidents were
Wallace M. Burkhart and George
W. Goforth, managers of the Cor-
vallis and Industrial branches, re
spectively; Riley DeLap, Law
rence W. Palo and Edmund J.
Schneider. Roger A. Emrich was
named to the newly created post
of comptroller.
Record high net operating earn
mgs of 17,147,903, or $4.45 per
share, were reported to the stock
holders. This figure was up 3..11
before, the president said, and
recorded new year-end highs ot
$503,484,790 in loans and $880, 339,-
689 in deposits.
Average outstanding commer
cial loans were up $33 million
over 1959 and a substantial in
crease in the number of loans
made was reported, which indicat
ed the strong demand for indus
trial and business loans. Voss
said.
"The expanded use of credit
and other banking services in
1(160 reflected Ihe increased tem
po of business in Oregon," Voss
told the shareholders. "While the
major industry forest products-
employed lower workers and pro
duced less lumber than a year
earlier, many segments of the
economy rose to record levels.
Construction exceeded all prior
periods. Total employment and
payrolls reached new peaks, and
consumer spending was high. .To
ward the end of the year, how
ever, there was a mild drag on
the economy, which has continued
into 1961," Voss added.
