Orson E. Yeager has been elected one of the directors of the Liberty 

 Banli of Buffalo, -which has taken over the Union Stock Yards Bank, mak- 

 ing it one of the leading financial institutions here. 



Capt. F. Fleming Sullivan has returned from military service in France, 

 arriving here a few days ago on a brief leave. He was accompanied to this 

 city by his father, Fred M. Sullivan. After a week at Camp Dix Capt. 

 Sullivan expects to return here to take up the lumber business. 



The Charles G. Feist Lumber Company has moved from the Mutual Life 

 building here to occupy a yard and office at North Tonawanda, where It 

 is expected to have good canal shipping facilities. 



The furniture and other woodworking plants at Jamestown and Sala- 

 manca are to be operated on the basis of forty-eight hours in future. The 

 proprietors desire the men to work flfty-four hours weekly tor the present, 

 with the understanding that payment will be made at an extra rate for 

 the overtime. Just now the furniture factories have many orders on hand 

 and are anxious to keep working as many hours as possible each week. 



The season of lumber receipts at the Tonawandas began on May 1 with 

 the arrival of the steamer P. J. Ralph with a cargo of nearly 1.000,000 

 feet of white pine for White, Gratwick & Mitchell. Five other vessels were 

 expected to arrive before the end of the week. The season opens slowly 

 and Buffalo has little lumber in prospect for arrival in May. The hard- 

 wood receipts will be small this season, since wholesalers report that the 

 prices asked in the producing Bection are too high to admit of handling the 

 lumber here at a profit. White pine and hemlock will also be slow in com- 

 ing during the early part of the season. 



Asa K. and Frederick W. Silverthorne, James W. McConkey and .\nthony 

 Brick were arraigned in Federal court in this city on .Vpril 29 and 

 pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging conspiracy to defraud in 

 connection with alleged overbilling of lumber shipments to the Lehigh 

 Valley Railroad Company. The indictment superseded one formerly 

 returned, some changes having been made. All were admitted to bail In 

 amounts ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 each. The cases will be moved 

 for trial at the Rochester term. 



BALTIMORE 



Harvey M. Dickson, secretary of the National Lumber Exporters' Asso- 

 ciation, had as his guest about ten days ago P. C. Patterson, of the Pat- 

 terson Shipping Company, of New York, which has been recently formed 

 to operate a storing and handling yard for export lumber, as a means of 

 supplying facilities for shippers from the interior who have no such depots 

 of their own. Mr. Patterson came here to look up shipments, and outlined 

 the plan on which his company is to operate. He was formerly with the 

 British admiralty and later with the Lucas E. Moore Stave Company, which 

 handled the shipment of dunnage for the British government from the 

 United States. 



Another visitor was H. Ben Johnson, of the Mansfield Hardwood Lumber 

 Company, Shreveport, La. Mr. Johnson's company operate-s two sawmills 

 in the Shreveport district, the plants having a combined capacity of about 

 75,000 feet per day. He stated that stocks in that section are relatively 

 small, and that a marked deficiency may be said to exist, when the stores 

 are measured by the normal requirements. 



The action of the carpenters here in making a demand for SO cents an 

 hour, as against 70 cents, the rate they have been receiving, Ls expected 

 to have a retarding effect upon construction work and tend to lessen the 

 requirements in the way of lumber of all kinds. The builders are prompted 

 by such tactics to hold back with operations which had been practically 

 arranged for, and permits already issued are not being taken advantage of. 



W. Dowding, who represents the well-known Liverpool firm of Churchill 

 & Slra, stopped in Baltimore about two weeks ago and called on some of the 

 exporters here. He came to get a view of hardwood conditions at first hand 

 and also to study the practical effect of the tonnage situation. 



COLUMBUS 



The Economy Lumber Company, Marion, has increased its authorized 

 capital from $10,000 to $35,000 to make way for development. The com- 

 pany was started in 1913. J. W. Jacoby is president ; W. J. Myers, man- 

 ager, and F. D. Jacoby, secretary and treasurer. 



The Columbus Lumbermen's Club gave a dinner recently to its member- 

 ship, at which time steps were taken to cooperate in the "build now" move- 

 ment which has the backing of the various business and civic organizations 

 of the Buckeye capital. The club has named a committee to attend all 

 meetings and report back to the membership. 



Ralph B. Martin has been named assistant manager of the New Elver 

 Lumber Company, Cincinnati, succeeding the late Doris E. Becker. Mr. 

 Martin was formerly with the Clayton Lumber Company of Parkers- 

 burg, W. Va. 



The Pioneer Timber Company, Cincinnati, has been chartered with a 

 capital of $25,000 by Sanford A. Headley, Matilda Ungetheum, Marian 

 Becker, H. Kenneth Rogers and Lillian Bayer. 



The Bacon Lumber Company, Cleveland, has been incorporated with a 

 capital of $10,000 to deal in lumber. The incorporators are Joy S. Hurd, 

 C. I. and J. C. Bacon, R. A. Graham and H. R. Hoener.
