HARDWOOD RECORD 



by fire. The fire was confined to the drying de- 

 partment where a lot of fine timber and hard- 

 wood lumber was in storage. 



The H. C. Houston Lumber Company has 

 booked orders for 300,000 feet of special sized 

 oak in the last two weeks. Most of this was 

 taken for railroad car stuff. 



The Yough-Manor Lumber Company will 

 start a new mill at Friendsrille. Md., about 

 Af.Trch first. The mill will have a capacity of 

 40.000 feet daily and will cut white oak mostly. 

 The company has lately bought 1,500 acres of 

 fine timber at this point. It started its big 

 mill at Kendall. Md., on February 20 after 

 three weeks' shut down due to cold weather. 

 This mill is now- cutting 80.000 feet a day. 



BuffalJ. 



Secretary Mixer of the ButEalb Lumber Ex- 

 change has just issued his annual report of stock 

 handled during the past year and also of stock 

 in yard at the beginning of the year and is able 

 to make a very good showing, for the slight fail- 

 ing olf in hardwood lumber sold is easily ac- 

 counted for by the unusual amount of snow last 

 winter, which tied up the roads much as it has 

 now. 



The amount of hardwood reported received by 

 rail is 73.280,000 feet, a falling oB of 1.456 cars. 

 The receipts by lake were 202.950,000 feet, the 

 sorts not being separated. This is an increase 

 of 24,820,000 feet, which is apparently largely, 

 if not all, hardwood. Rail shipments of hard- 

 wood were 70.296,000 feet, a decrease of 2,553 

 cars. The amount in yard on Jan. 1 was 

 67.964,000 feet, an increase of 12.927,000 feet. 



North Tonawanda is al.so increasing its hard- 

 wood business, though not yet in the same class 

 with Buffalo. It is expected that all hardwood 

 yai'ds will show an increase there this year. 



The sale of the lumber, mostly oak. in the 

 yard of the bankrupt Queen City Lumber Com- 

 pany took place on Feb. 17 under the di- 

 rections of the bankruptcy court. It was bid off 

 by the Hugh McLean Lumber Company for 

 $9,000. The office fixtures were also sold. 



The latest reports from T. Sullivan, who was 

 taken seriously ill while on a visit to his son, 

 F. T. Sullivan, representative of the firm of T. 

 Sullivan &. Co., at Tacoma, Wash., are that he 

 is still improving and will be able to come home 

 after awhile. It appears to have been his won- 

 derfully strong constitution and iron will that 

 brought him through. 



Ueports from the Memphis sawmills of. Scatch- 

 erd & Son have been decidedly "snowy" of late. 

 One day Manager Wright advised that there was 

 eight inches of snow and not a darky showed up. 



"There will be a great skurrying about for 

 dry hardwood stock, especially oak." is the re- 

 port from I. N. Stewart & Bro., who already 

 find plain oak advancing and quartered stronger. 



Tlie best January since he went into the busi- 

 ness and a prospect of the best February is the 

 report of O. E. Yeager, spite of the snow block- 

 ades. 



The Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company finds 

 plain oak so easy to sell that it is hard to keep 

 much of it on hand. Good sales of gum and 

 Cottonwood are reported. In fact everything 

 goes. 



While F; W. Vetter of the Empire Lumber 

 Company is taking care of the company's mills 

 south the oflice finds the demand for practically 

 all hardwoods and especially oak good. 



The Emporium Lumber Company, with presi- 

 dent, , salesman and office manager all located 

 here, is a distinctly Buffalo institution, and it 

 has a fine stock of Pennsylvania hardwoods be- 

 hind It. 



The hardwood stock of A. Miller is moving 

 out at a very .satisfactory rate, oak. poplar and 

 ash taking a leading part, with more coming in. 



The big hardwood stock of Taylor & Crate 

 mea out in most satisfactory fashion, entire lots 

 '•metlmes selling, even when they are held In 

 large quantity. 



A. W. Krelnheder of Iho Standard Hardwood 



Lumber Company is very busy at the Tennessee 

 mills of the company, shipping out stock, of 

 which oak, poplar and chestnut lead. The oflBce 

 reports good sales and blockaded railroads. 



Bristol, Va.-Tenn. 



C. Wuesthoff of Xeuss-on-the-Khine. Germany,

 local lumbermen for export oak. Mr. Wuest- 

 hoff was enabled to make several advantageous 

 contracts in Bristol. He has just established 

 American headquarters at Galveston, Tex. 



T, K. Garland, a prominent young lumberman 

 of Shady Valley, Johnson county, Tenn., was

 Fleck Lumber Company of this city, is very ill

 Price Hardwood Company of Baltimore. Md..

 is an experienced lumberman and was formerly 

 with the Bryan Lumber Company of this city. 



George H. Orudoff. who represents the Stirling- 

 West Lumber Company of Baltimore, has been 

 making Bristol his headquarters for some time. 

 It is thought that the company will soon estab- 

 lish permanent headquarters for this section In 

 Bristol, as it is thought that Its business in 

 this section will warrant establishing a branch 

 office In Bristol. 



It. M. Bonhara of Cholhowie, '^'a.. a promi- 

 nent and wealthy lumberman of this section, 

 is very ill at the Richmond Memorial hospital. 

 where he went last week to undergo an opera- 

 tion for appendicitis. Owing to his extreme 

 physical weakness and the acutencss of the at- 

 tack of appendicitis the surgeons have not as 

 yet deemed It expedient to perform the opera- 

 tion. His friends who are at his bedside fear 

 that he will not survive the ordeal of the 

 operation.
