BUFFALO BITS. 



Buffalo, N. Y., April 20, 1!)02. 



The lakes are now open, the last of the 

 ice having taken its departure last week, 

 and from now on do not think the vessels 

 and barges will have any trouble on that 

 score. A few steamers have got through 

 loaded with lumber for Buffalo and Tona- 

 wanda, but it will be a couple of weeks or 

 so yet before they begin coming in with 

 any regularity. There is considerable 

 kicking on the part of the carriers on ac- 

 count of the new rule adopted l)y the in- 

 surance companies, not allowing boats to 

 pile up cargoes on deck higher than -10 

 per cent of the length of the beam. The 

 rule will undoubtedly be broken in many 

 instances by those who have been in the 

 habit of carrying big deck loads. 



Lumbermen seem to have foun<l a new 

 industry, to which some of tliem at least 

 are turning their attention. Taylor iV: 

 Crate and H. S. Janes, of the Jaues-Keeny 

 Lumber Company, are both taking up 

 farming, on an extensive scale in Missis- 

 sippi, where their lumbering interests are. 

 When their neighbors see what a success 

 tliey make of their new ventures they will 

 probaljly follow suit. There is no ques- 

 tion but that they will make their lands 

 valuable, e'^ en after all the timber is taken 

 off. 



Business keeps good in a general way 

 and prices are good on almost all lines of 

 hardwood. Poplar keeps going up in 

 price, and dry stock is scarce, so the prob- 

 abilities are that prices will stay about 

 W'here they are for some time, if they do 

 not go higher. 



Factories of all kinds arc running fidl 

 time and ;',re behind on their orders — all 



O. D. Bebout, of Co. K. 

 2d U. S. Infantry, now sta- 

 tioned in the Philippine 

 Islands, sends us this cut of 

 tlie way they make lumber in 

 tliat part of the world. 



The Rocoril is under obli- 

 gation to Mr. Bebout for 

 much information regardini;' 

 the timber resources of the 

 Philippine Islands. He is a 

 prjictical lumberman and is 

 enthusiastic over the possi- 

 liilitifs in the line of lumbtr 

 manufacture in that region. 



There is certainly consider- 

 al)le room for improvement in 

 the method of manufacturing 

 lumlier out there. The first 

 requisite is capital, and after 

 tliat a perusal of the advertis- 

 ing pages of the Record will 

 enable the prospector to equip 

 himself with all the balance of 

 the requirements.
