BUFFALO BITS. 



(Special Correspondence.) 



Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 22, 1904. 

 Mr. F. W. Vetter has been named for 

 ■vicegerent snark of the Order of Hoo-Hoo 

 for western New York, but owing to his 

 time being so fully taken up with his lum- 

 ber business he is afraid he could not 

 give the office the time and attention it 

 would demand. Unless he is induced to 

 change his mind he will not accept the 

 honor. Mr. Vetter has left on a trip to 

 the company's mills in Arkansas, but ex- 

 pects to get back in time to put in a vote 



for Mr. Parker.

Mr. A. W. Kreinheder has returned 

 from the South, where he has been busily 

 engaged in shipping lumber from the com- 

 pany's mill in Tennessee.

The lawsuit between the Murphy Lum- 

 ber Company of Green Bay, Wis., and

 mised. Mr. Colie continues business as 



heretofore.

Buffalo has another new lumber con- 

 cern, the William Quast Lumber Com- 

 pany, which has opened a yard on Seneca 

 street, where the Hugh McLean Lumber 

 Company first started in business. Mr. 

 Quast is a practical lumberman and is 

 starting in at a good time to make some 



money.

NE'W ORLEANS. 



(Special Correspondence.) 

 New Orleans, La., Oct. 22, 1904. 

 The extensive dry kilns and the large 

 stock of lumber of Lott & Perkins, at 

 Inda, Miss., a small town on the Gulf & 

 Ship Island road, were destroyed by fire 

 on the night of October 4. The mill proper 

 was only slightly damaged. The loss was 

 113,000, which was covered by $6,000 in- 

 surance.

Advices received here from Port Cort, 

 Honduras, state that the recent storm in 

 Honduras was responsible for the loss of 

 hundreds of dollars' worth of fine mahog- 

 any. The storm lifted the tide to 30 

 inches above normal and backed the water 



up in the rivers. Many mahogany booms 

 parted their moorings and the logs were 

 washed out to sea and lost. The camps of 

 C. C. Mengel & Bro. Company of Louisville 

 and George D. Emery Sons of Boston, on 

 the Chemelicon and Ulua rivers in Hon- 

 duras and in Guatemala, lost a great 

 amount of the timber they had collected.

 The Hagerman Lumber Company of 

 Pensacola, which has been buying hard- 

 wood timber in this section, has begun 

 work on a new mill at Lake Srmonia. In 

 connection with this the company will run 

 a factory, using its lumber to manufac- 

 ture sash, doors, blinds, etc. 



MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, Oct. 22, 1904. 

 W. C. Bailey, the pioneer hardwood lum- 

 ber dealer of the Twin Cities, has left his 

 business for a few days and has gone to 

 St. Louis to take a look at the exposition.

Thomas E. Powe of St. Louis, vice-presi- 

 dent of the Plummer Lumber Company, 

 Ihe hardwood wholesalers, paid a visit a 

 few days ago to some of his customers in 

 this city. He found some demand for 

 southern hardwoods among the local con- 

 sumers.

L. C. Nolan of the Bacon-Nolan Hard- 

 wood Company, Lambert, Miss., who has 

 been ill at a St. Paul hospital with mala- 

 rial fever, left last week with his family 

 and will locate at Memphis, Tenn. They 

 had formerly lived in St. Paul and re- 

 mained there while Mr. Nolan was getting 

 things started in the South.

Howard Watson, northwestern sales 

 manager for the American Woodworking 

 Machinery Company of New York, was in 

 Minneapolis a few days ago on business. 



The sash and door factory of Simonson 

 Bros., in South Minneapolis, was entirely 

 destroyed by fire October 7, with a loss of 

 some $40,000, about half of which was cov- 

 ered by insurance. The plant is being re- 

 built, and will soon resume operations.

P. R. Hamilton of the Minneapolis Lum- 

 ber Company paid a visit to St. Louis re- 

 cently, combining business with fair. 



PHILADELPHIA POST. 



(Special Correspondence.) 

 Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 22, 1904. 

 A movement has been inaugurated in 

 the Lumbermen's Exchange to move from 

 its present quarters on the second floor of 

 the Bourse to a more central location, pref- 

 erably near Broad and Chestnut streets. 

 The chief objection to this move just now, 

 some of the members assert, is that the 

 lease of the present offices has until Sep- 

 tember of next year to run. They also say 

 that this movement, unlike the one started 

 three years ago, for the same purpose, and 

 which failed, will be agitated until definite
