W. A. Whitman, manager of the South 

 Arm Lumber Company's plant at Mar- 

 quette, Mich., accompanied by wife and 

 son, spent a day in Chicago last week, on 

 their way to the World's Fair at St. Louis. 

 Mr. Whitman says the mill was closed 

 down for the season on the Sth Inst., after 

 running without a halt since May 2, which, 

 by the way, is something of a record- 

 breaker and is an excellent compliment 

 to the management. This is not so sur- 

 prising to those who know Whitman, how- 

 ever. He has done similar things in the 

 past and is reputed to be one of the best 

 in that end of the business. The cut was 

 approximately 14,000,000 feet.

 have occupied the corner at North Branch 

 and Blackhawk streets for more than ten 

 years, are preparing to move their place 

 of business to their own ground at South- 

 port avenue and C street. Their yard will 

 cover a block in length, and a brick struc- 

 ture the entire length will be built, to 

 hold kiln-dried stock, which hereafter will 

 be a specialty of the Empire Lumber Com- 

 pany. A fine and comodious office will 

 also be erected, and Thamer says they 

 will have a housewarming when every- 

 thing is in readiness.

BUFFALO BITS. 



(Special Correspondence.) 

 Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 22, 1904. 

 Mr. Chestnut, the well-known Hoo-Hoo, 

 and one of the more recent additions to 

 the ranks of the Buffalo lumber dealers, 

 is mentioned as the probable next vice- 

 gerent snark of the Noble Order of Hoo- 

 Hoos. Mr. Chestnut has been a hard and 

 faithful worker in the order and is in 

 every way worthy of the honor proposed 

 to be bestowed on him. and it is hoped 

 by his many friends here and else^vhere 

 that he will accept.

The Standard Lumber Company of Buf- 

 falo are taking the necessary steps to 

 change the style of the firm to an incor- 

 porated company, consequent upon the 

 death of Mr. Herman .1. Kreinheder, the 



late president of the company. The 

 change goes into effect December 1 of the 



present year.

The Buffalo lumbermen held a meeting 

 in the office of Mr. C. H. Stanton, 102 

 Law Exchange building, a few days ago. 

 Among other questions discussed was 

 that of the uniform bill of lading, which, 

 it is understood, goes into effect January 

 1, 1905. There seems to be a great deal 

 of misapprehension on the part of ship- 

 pers and consignees as to where they 

 really stand in this matter, and also what 

 position the railroads will he in as re- 

 gards liability for routing, time of deliv- 

 ery, safe delivery. According to some of 

 the speakers the bill of lading does not 

 mean one-half of what it says. I think 

 the Buffalo lumbermen individually and as 

 a body would like all the light they can 

 get on this subject.
