The Curtis & I'ope Lumber Company, Boston, will build a brick mill and 

 garage on Southampton street in this city, which Is close by Its lumber 

 yard. 



John Clary, for many years well-known in the lumber tiade of Boston, 

 died at his home in Cambridge, Mass., Oct. G, at the age of eighty-six years. 

 Mr. Clary has not been engaged in business for many years. For the past 

 three years he h:is been suffering from paralysis. 



.T. R. Booth, a well-known Vermont lumberman, recently met with a bad 

 accident at the mill in Ottawa. The mill was destroyed by fire a few 

 weeks ago. The other day Mr, Booth visited the old plant and while there 

 a heavy timber fell upon him and as a result his left leg was broken, 

 together with other minor injuries. Mr. Booth is eighty-six years of age 

 and is one of the veteran lumbermen of Vermont. 



The large mill of W. H. Champlain at Rochester, N. H., was recently 

 destroyed by fire. The power house and a smaller mill were saved, together 

 with considerable lumber on the yard and loaded on cars ready for 

 shipment. 



It is reported that Stetson Cutler & Co. have purchased a controlling

Frank II. Oodfi-ey. son of L. X. Godfrey, a Boslon lumb*'r dealer, was

Through the arrest of George Heintz the originator of a number of 

 fires in lumber yards and woodworking establishments that have occurred 

 during the past few months has been discovered. Heintz confessed setting 

 not less than eight fires and is suspected of several others. He said in 

 his confession that he bore no malice against the owners of the places 

 fired and that be merely had an uncontrollable desire to see a blaze when- 

 ever he drank. He was held for the action ol: court. 



Another one of the vessels to sail for South America with West Vir- 

 ginia spruce was the Italian ship Ascencione, which cleared here with 

 1,484,000 feet for Buenos Ayres, Argentina. G. Schiafflno & Co. were the 

 agents of the vessel. 



Richard P. Ba'T. senior partner of Richard P. Baor & Co.. with offices 

 in the tower of the Maryland Casualty building, returned week l)efore last 

 from a trip to Europe, very much rested and eager to get back to business. 

 Mr. Baer sailed on Aug. 18 for London and came back on the Victoria 

 Luise. He spent about four weeks in the United Kingdom and two weeks 

 in Germany and Holland. Most of the time was devoted to recreation and 

 sight-seeing, thougti he also gave some attention to lumber. Mr. Baer 

 reports that he found the lumber trade abroad in the main sound and 

 healthy, but that the high ocean freight rates constituted a serious check 

 upon business. The ideas of the foreign buyers as to prices had gone up. 

 but the advance was not etjual to the rise in the freight rates, with the 

 result that exporters stood to get less for their shipments than before, 

 which precluded the idea of doing business. With the freight rates down, 

 Mr. Baer thought that the export movement would attain fair proportions. 

 Mrs. Baer went along on the trip and enjoyed it exceedingly. 



Among the visiting lumbermen in Baltimore last week was R. W. Tewell, 

 of the Butters Lumber Company, Boardman, X. C. Mr. Yewell is in charge 

 of the shipping and office work at the mills, and states that the latter have 

 been forced to shut down because of high water, due to heavy rains, which 

 caused all of the rivers in that section to overflow. He reports that while 

 considerable lumber has been made, the orders have come in with sufficient 

 freedom to absorb the output, though some of the lower grades of cypress 

 are perhaps a shade easier than they have been. Tlie company makes 

 a specialty of while .gum. and Mr. Yewell says that it is having much 

 success with this wood, which is worked up into flooring and sidings, and 

 competes witli other hardwoods. 



H. T. Snyder, with Mann & Parker. Inc.. Continental building, has just 

 returned from a trip south as far as Florida. He was away eighteen days, 

 spending four days of this time traveling, and he took up in that time 

 , fifteen cars of lumlwr, largely ash. He reports that he found southern 

 mills with large stocks, one of them having about 1.5,000,000 feet and 

 another perhaps 10.000,000 feet, but that orders were being received In 

 sufficient number to take care of the production, though the quotations 

 appeared to be rather lower than they were sixty days ago. 



The West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company of Luke, W. Va., has 

 won its suit against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company and 

 obtained a verdict for .$45,314.17. The Pulp and Paper Company brought 

 action against the railroad for the destruction by fire attributed to sparks 

 from a locomotive of about 60,000 cords of pulp wood at Buchannon, 

 W. Va.. on April 10. 1910. and sued for .$150,000 damages, placing the 

 value of the wood at $8 per cord. The railroad company made a motion 

 that the plaintiff's testimony be excluded, but the court overruled this 

 motion with the result stated. 



Levenson & Zenitz, Inc., have let the contract for the erection of a five- 

 story brick and concrete furniture factory, to be erected at 10 to 16 North 

 Frederick street, in the rear of the company's offices and show rooms, with
