=■< BUFFALO >- 



The Curtiss Aeroplane & Jlotors Corporation expects to double its 

 working force before the first of the year, which will give it about 20,000 

 employes. It will be turning out 100 battle planes a day under contract 

 with the government, besides continuing to make flying boats for the 

 navy. With such a large working force the scarcity of houses here makes 

 it probable that much additional house building will have to be done. 



The wooden canal fleet is saving the day on the new Erie barge water- 

 way and Is vindicating the old canal style of handling freight by coming 

 in forty strong at a time and carrying off the block of wheat which the 

 management had taken. New boats are not numerous yet, but they are 

 large enough to carry about as much again as the old boats used to, and 

 next year with twelve feet of water. Instead cjf eight at present, a fleet 

 Is promised that is adequate to make the most of this additional depth. 

 They are trying to make politics of the canal this fall. Gen. W. W'. 

 Wotherspoon, superintendent of public works, says that it is finished, 

 which means eight feet deep, but Alfred E. Smith, democratic nominee 

 for governor, says that it is not finished, which means twelve feet, and 

 he will finish it. 



Two days before the end of the Liberty Loan campaign the Buffalo lum- 

 bermen, under the leadership of Horace F. Taylor, president of the Lum- 

 ber Exchange, announced that their allotment of $1.-100,000 had been 

 exceeded by about 51100,000. The subscriptions numbered about 155 and 

 Included many employes as well as the dealers themselves. The list is not 

 very perfect yet, but as it has been given out the following are among 

 the larger subscribers : Great Southern Lumber Company, $200,000 ; 

 Taylor & Crate, with officers and employes, $100,000 ; Ella Conger Good- 

 year, ?100,000 : Norwich Lumber Company (Goodyear), $80,000; Hugh 

 McLean Lumber Company, $75,000 ; Estate of F. H. Goodyear, Ganson 

 and Lucia Depew. G. Elias & Bro., Jackson & Tindle, each $50,000; Mont- 

 gomery Bros. & Co. and A. J. Chestnut Lumber Co., each $35,000 ; Haines 

 Lumber Company and Atlantic Lumber Company, each $25,000 ; Jeanette 

 B. Goodyear, $24,000 ; Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company, T. Sullivan & 

 Co., Blakeslee, Perrin & Darling, C. Boiler's Sons, A. J. Delaphlante and 

 Hendricks-Caskey Company, each $20,000 ; Yeager Lumber Company, 

 $17,000 ; Graves, Maubert & George, Hurd Bros., Buffalo, Lumber Dealers' 

 Association, each $15,000 ; Standard Hardwood Lumber Company, Hunt- 

 ington & Finke and Mrs. Charles Goodyear, each $10,000; Miller, Sturm & 

 Miller, George M. Zimmermann and Dohn, Fischer & Beyer, each $5,000. 

 The Buffalo Lumber Exchange enjoyed a chestnut-hunting excursion ou 

 October 10, this being the only outing held so far this year. A large party 

 made the trip, spending the afternoon in the open. Quoit-pitching and 

 baseball were the features of the day, next to the chestnuts, which were 

 plentiful, and the beefsteak dinner, which was thoroughly enjoyed ami 

 reflected great culinary skill and energy on the part of the cooks, who 

 were Fred M. Sullivan, Elmer J. Sturm, Charles N. Perrin, Eugene Nos- 

 trand and Eugene Carson. The chairman of the outing committee was 

 W. P. Betts. 



=-< PITTSBURGH >= 



The Ducjuesne Lumber Company reports a fair business, especially in 

 the East. Its industrial trade has been very good until recently, and in 

 general R. C. Hermann has no special kick to make. 



The Iron City Lumber Company is doing a nice business shipping a 

 large amount of lumber on government orders. A good portion of this 

 goes to the eastern market, especially to New Jersey points. 



The Bradley Lumber Company is opening up two new mills in Green- 

 brier county, W, Va., this week to cut off a fine lot of white oak timber. 

 Its hardwood operation in Fayette county is running about 50 per cent 

 capacity on account of labor shortage. 



The Acorn Lumber Company finds that industrial trade has slumped off 

 quite a lot this month. Prices are still holding pretty well, but would 

 naturally ease off considerably were it not for the bad labor conditions at 

 the mills. 



September building reports show that Pittsburgh fell off only two per 

 cent, this city making the best record in this respect of any city in the 

 country, except Houston, Tex., which had a like showing. The total for 

 Pittsburgh in September was $710,000. Last week made a very unusual 

 record, as not a single permit was issued in this city for new construction. 



J. N. Woollett, president of the Aberdeen Lumber Company reports 

 demand considerably upset. Stocks of gum and Cottonwood are in such 

 shape that he believes every wholesaler in these lines will do best to sit 

 tight and keep his lumber rather than to try to coax winter trade by quot- 

 ing lower prices. 



The Bruckman Lumber Company is now a 100 per cent government 

 concern, as practically all of its output at its big yards at Preble avenue, 

 north side, is for stock that is going directly or indirectly into government 

 projects. Charles II. Bruckman, president of the company, has put in a 

 very busy year and is now furnishing a big lot of stock for the West Penn
