BUFFALO 



social side in lumber circles, was the meeting 

 and picnic of the Hoo-Hoos, the concatena- 

 tion being held on August -26. and the trip 

 down the river next day. The evening meet- 

 ing was especially well attended, and the 

 new members received were James M. Fen- 

 iiell, Charles E. Cole and Philip J. Ferkel ot 

 Buffalo; Charles Allen of Wllllamsport. Pa.; 

 .lohn F. Davis of Jamestown. N. Y.. and John 

 Monro5>. of Geneva. N. Y.. all lumbermen. 



The picnic brought out about 100 people, 

 the members as usual taking their wives 

 with them. The day was perfect, and when 

 111.- expedition was not afloat on the round 

 nf Grand Island, it was In the baseball field 

 at some well-known resort. Two games were 

 played, the nines being headed by J. B. Wall 

 and W. M. Wall. Somehow the make-up was 

 In each case very one-sided, .the beaten side 

 looking about as the tail-enders will in the 

 presidential election; but as each side won 

 a .game there was no heart breaking. The 

 star players at the bat were J. F. Knox and 

 A. E. Davenport, each of whom made three 

 runs in one game. 



The activities of Frank A. Beyer, as Hoo- 

 Hoo vicegerent, president of the Pascola 



Lumber Company, president of the Manufac- 

 turers' Club and a few other things, besides 

 selling his share of lumber, are rather large 

 just now. one would say. 



O. E. Yeager has been to Atlantic City late- 

 ly, and reports on his return that the yard 

 has made a pretty good record of sales late- 

 ly, though he does not yet see much to indi- 

 cate that there is a real fall trade in pros- 

 pect. 



Hugh McLean spent part of last month at 

 his Canadian pleasure resbrt. but is back 

 again and off on the road, selling oak. An- 

 gus McLean remains at the St. Lawrence 

 mills of the McLean companies, which is to 

 be his chief business hereafter. 



The Standard Hardwood Lumber Company is 

 bringing up quite au amount of stock, chiefly 

 oak, to be ready for stocking up the yard ex- 

 tension as soon as it Is fully ballasted and ready. 

 The yard has always been piled high with luin 

 ber. 



The business done In the yard of the Buffalo 

 Hardwood Lumber C?ompany this summer i.s 

 shown to Iju good from the fact that the biK 

 shipment of mostly oak from tlie South in the 

 spring found its way out right along, but kept 

 the assortment good. 



Tlio sawmills of Scalchprd & Sou at Memphis 

 have made a fine run during the summer, but 

 arc about at the end of the season again. They 

 piled up a good lot ot oak. but it is reported 

 about all sold, with demand for more. 



The yard of I. N. Stewart & Bro. has been 

 active through the summer, with cherry moving 

 quite as much as other woods, according to the 

 supply of It, sales of late being reported in good 

 (luantlty, with oak and chestnut in the list alsn. 



Anthony Miller Is always so much better sales 

 man than the market warrants this year tliat he 

 is sometimes Inelined to find trade very slow, but 

 his neighbors always say that he is doing quite 

 as well as they arc. 



The yard of G. Elias & ISro. has taken in a 

 good number of lake cargoes this season, tboujrii 

 they have been mostly white pine and hemlock, 

 the South being depended on for hardwoods anil 

 yellow pine, heavy timbers always l>elDg a spe- 

 cialty. 



The system established by V. W. Vetter when 

 he struck out for himself, to keep an all-around 

 assortment of hardwoods and not try to bunch 

 anything, seems to be working well, as the yard 

 is generally able to report good average sales. 



F. M. Sullivan is back to business again as 

 good as new and finds plenty to do In the hand- 

 ling of his lake cargoes of elm and black ash, 

 with prospect of a stir in Pacific coast lumber 

 later in the season.
