=-< NEW YORK y. 



Reports from the New York office of the West Virginia Pulp & Paper 

 Company state that newspaper reports of the breaking of the dam at the 

 company's plant at Luke, W. Va., were greatly exaggerated. The dam 

 broke at a point where the water was very shallow, consequently reducing 

 the pressure. And there was no mad rush of the waters of the reservoir, 

 as reported, but a comparatively easy flow resembling more an ordinary 

 spring freshet than a violent flood. There was no loss of life or serious 

 injury to anyone. 



.Tohn F. Dingee. formerly prominent in the mahogany and cedar trade 

 of New York and a member of the firm of P. M. Dingee & Sons, died

 and one daughter. 



Conrad N. Pitcher has again become associated with the Wright Lumber 

 Company, hardwood retailers, of which Peter A. Smith is a principal. Mr. 

 Pitcher has a number of warm friends in the local trade and all are glad 

 to have him back. He left the lumber business about two years ago to 

 engage in another line of activity. A new corporation known as Wright 

 Lumber Company, Inc., has been formed, with Mr. Smith president and 

 Mr. Pitcher secretary and treasurer. 



The Blue Rock Manufacturing Company has opened an office at 17 

 P.attery place, in charge of E. T. Carvin. The company has mills in 

 .Vlahama and makes a specialty of oak. hewn and sawn. Headquarters of

The decision of the National Hardwood Lumber .\ssociation to hold its 

 annual convention in this city on June IS and 19 is pleasing to the lumber- 

 men. This convention is expected to be a very well attended one and the 

 Buffalo hardwood men will do their best to afford excellent entertainment to 

 visitors. The local hardwood dealers are hopeful that O. E. Yeager may 

 be promoted from vice-president to president as a recognition of the able 

 services he has rendered the association, and he will have the support of 

 every local member of the trade for the higher office.

 The banquet will be open to the ladies and from 100 to 150 are expected 

 to attend.

 New Hampshire and found trade in that direction to be better than It Is 

 nearer home.

 vacation, which they are expecting to spend at Alden mineral springs, 

 not far from this city. They will go toward the end of the month for
