Buffalo Opposes Tariff 

 Tlie Buffalo Lumber Exchange lately adopted resolutions iu opposition 

 to a tariff on lumber and individual concerns have appealed to members 

 of Congress to vote against any bill placing a lumber duty. At the 

 closing session of the Legislature Senator Leonard W. H. Gibbs introduced 

 a resolution to petition Congress against placing a tariff on lumber im- 

 ported into this country. He declared that a duty on lumber would 

 result in boosting of prices of that commodity in this country. The tariff, 

 he said, would add to the burdens of thousands of farmers and home 

 builders. The introduction of the resolution was commented on by 

 Senator Downing, who said that as a Democrat he was heartily iu favor 

 of the measure, which might ultimately lead to Democratic free trade and 

 which means the abandonment of the Republican plan of protection. 



Wisconsin Loggers to "Carry On" 



The Central Wisconsin Loggers" Association held its regular quarterly 

 meeting on April 14 and 15 at Antigo, more than thirty-five representative 

 logging operators being present. In addition to Langlade county interests, 

 loggers in Rhinelander, Wausau, White Lake, Mattoon, New London, 

 Merrill and a number of other cities were on hand. There was a general 

 discussion of business conditions and prospects. Opinion seemed to be 

 that while some summer logging operations would be carried on, the 

 situation in regard to lumber demand and prices is such that input of 

 logs will generally be unprofitable until conditions change for the better, 

 which probably will be appreciably by early fall, at the time when winter 

 logging usually is undertaken for the season.
