appointed secretary and treasurer.
This company-- is largely interested
in 1 umbering operations and is one
of the large manufacturers of lum-
ber, building material, etc., in Wash-
ington elate. Mr. Aetzel has been in
-
the employ of the company since
going- west a couple of years ago,
.and his rapid advancement to the re-
nponsible- position of secretary and
treasurer is a sure indication of his
ability and progressivertees. We

ure of announcing his having been
tufide proyidont of the company.
