Music 

 The toastmaster, acting on behalf of the 

 lumbermen of Louisville and New Albany, 

 was E. L. Davis of the well-known hard- 

 wood and wagon dimension house, Edward 

 L. Davis & Co. An interesting innovation 

 at the dinner were the three to five minute 

 speeches made by the orators of the occa- 

 sion between courses. Mr. Davis gave the 

 opening address, in which he most heartily 

 voiced the hospitality of Louisville and in- 

 vited the lumbermen assembled to come 

 often. The response on behalf of the Hard- 

 wood Manufacturers was made . by E. H. 

 Vansant, retiring president of the associa- 

 tion. During all the speech making busi- 

 ness was eliminated, and the occasion re- 

 solved itself into a jolly good time, in 

 which 



The music, and the banquet, and the wine — 

 The garlands, the rose odors and the flowers 



all contributed to an evening of perfect en- 

 joyment. The unstinted hospitality of the 

 lumbermen of Louisville and New Albany 

 will long be remembered with extreme 

 pleasure by those who were fortunate 

 enough to be present.

New Orleans Lumber Exporters' Association 



I'ursuant to a recent r.qll. issued by several 

 prominent exporters of New Orleans, tbe follow- 

 ing lumbermen met Jan. ."i in tbe Hibernla 

 Itank building, to organize an exporters' associa- 

 tion. A temporary chairman and secretary were 

 chosen, after which an election of permanent 

 officers was held, resulting in the choice of S. 

 J. Sutherland as president ; W. A. Powell, vice 

 president, and Ludwig Haymann, secretary- 

 treasurer. 



Discussion followed, which determined that 

 (he objects of the club shoiild be to further con- 

 certed action In all matters in which members 

 have common interest, particularly In reference 

 to freight and terminal questions; to undertake 

 to increase the membership and growth of the 

 association by admitting all exporters of lumber, 

 logs and staves, witli the provision that the 

 membership might be extended to other lumber 

 interests later. The secretary was Instructed to 

 solicit applications for membership from other 

 cities, notably Memphis and Lake Charles. 



It was decided that members pay an entrance 

 fee of .$25 ; the question of further dues was left 

 open for the present. W. A. I'owell, Oscar 

 Gartner and Ludwig Haymann were appointed 

 committee on organization, with Instructions to 

 prepare and submit a form of constitution and 

 by-laws, to be presented to the members at their 

 next meeting, ,lan. 19. 



I>iscusslon developed many instances in which 

 association Inlluence would have been of great 

 advantage to individual exporters, notably In dlf- 

 flcultles arising from extortionate freight and 

 terminal charges, and It was decided that by 

 unity of purpose and concerted action much 

 might be accomplished for this particular 

 branch of tbe trade.
