CHICAGO 



TIk' .\merlcan Wholesale Lumber Association expects to facilitate the 

 service to its members by dividing the membership into five general divi- 

 sions, according to the species of woods dealt in. These divisions are : 

 .No. 1. Southern Yellow Pine; No. 2, West Coast Woods; No. 3 California 

 and Inland Empire Woods; No. 4, Cypress and Southern Hardwoods; 

 Xo. 5, Northern Woods. The members are now being assigned to these 

 various divisions in accordance with the t.vpe of business handled by them. 

 When the annual convention of the association is held here May 18-19, 

 division chairmen will be appointed to supervise and direct the activities 

 of the various divisions. 



Because of the limited number of divisions, it has been necessary to 

 make arbitrary groupings of various woods in the classifications. The 

 estaltlished groups are as follows : 



Southeru Yellow Pine — Longleaf pine, shortleaf pine. North Carolina 

 pine. 



California and Inland Empire Woods — Larch, redwood, white pine, ail 

 Western varieties. 



Cypress and Southern Hardwoods — Cypress, all varieties ; hardwood, all 

 Southern varieties. 



Northern Woods — Hardwoods, except Southern ; hemlock, except West- 

 crn ; Norway pine, spruce, except Western ; white pine, except Western 

 varieties. 



West Coast Woods — Fir, all kinds ; cedar, all kinds ; Western hemlock, 

 Western spruce. 



Principally, the membership ot the associates falls into divisions 1 and 2, 

 though the remaining divisions have a very active quota of members. 



BUFFALO 



.\rthur J. Yeager has returned from a two weeks' business trip to New 

 York and elsewhere in the East, representing the Yeager Lumber Company. 

 He reports a little improvement in the hardwood demand, with a growing 

 scarcity of the upper grades of certain species. 



A test of an expeditionary airplane made by C. Elias & Bro. of Buffalo 

 was recently made at Curtiss field, with satisfactory results. The type ot 

 plane is new, and it is fitted to alight either on the land or the water. 

 It attained a spee<l of more than 100 miles an hour in this trial and 

 climbed 1,000 feet in two minutes. 



Word comes from New Y'ork that the effort ot the Erie Railroad to make 

 a charge tor lightering lumber from its docks at .Jersey City to New York 

 Is not likely to succeed. Such vigorous opposition to it was put up that 

 the carrier appears to think the matter hopeless. This lighterage has 

 always been free, and it is stated that only the Erie railroad was sup- 

 posed to make a charge, but the lumbermen saw all the other roads going 

 Into it if this one succeeded. 



The C. W". Bodge Lumber Company has succeeded to the Sanford-Bodge 

 Lumber Company here, with main office in the Prudential building. C. W. 

 Bodge is at the head of the company. N. W. Marshall, who was formerly 

 connoctoil with the office, is now representing the Pickering Lumber Com- 

 pany in Cleveland.
