from tbe city of Cluciouatl will be a severe blow to the Cioclnnati lumber 

 trade, as that company's Interests have been one of the most important 

 factors In the upbuJldlng of the Cincinnati trade. The members of the 

 Kentucky Lumber Company have talien an active and prominent part in 

 all the doings and the building up of tbe Ciocinnatl Lumbermen's Club, 

 and their removal will be severely felt.

 move with that concern to its new quarters. In addition, ,1. C. Shuck of 

 Pittsburg, Miss., will take the position of assistant sales manager. Mr. 

 Shuck Is already breaking in at the Cincinnati office and will go with the

Pertinent Information 



Annual Lumber Statistics 



The Bureau of the Census has quit collrrting and publishing annual sta- 

 ti.=tics of lumber cut in the United States. For many years past information 

 along that line has been compiled at regular intervals and has been fur- 

 nished to the public. It showed how much lumber was cut in every state, 

 the different kinds and the quantity of each kind. Persons interested in 

 the lumber business have looked forward every year to the receipt of that 

 information and have appreciated it. 



Some months ago word went out that the Census Bureau contemplated 

 discontinuing this service. Protests went to Washington from hundreds 

 of lumbermen, and the bureau was urged to reconsider the matter. It was 

 hoped that favorable action would result, but that hope has not been 

 realized. The final decision was that the annual compilation of lumber 

 statistics should end with the year 1912. The report from that year has 

 been appearing in installments for some months. 



Alter the Bureau of the Census withdrew from the work, the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture was urged by lumbermen to take It up. The latest 

 announcement is that it will do so, but that the statistics thus compiled 

 must be in a somewhat abbreviated form. H.\rdwood Record has received 

 one of the information cards which will soon be sent to lumbermen in all 

 parts of the United States. The questions asked are short and simple. 

 The chief information sought includes the kinds of wood sawed and how 

 much of each. 



Mill owners will doubtless appreciate the efforts being made to collect 

 data, and will assist by promptly filling the blanks and returning them. 



The work is being done by the cooperation of the Forest Service and 

 the Bureau of Statistics, both belonging to the Department of Agriculture. 



Submerged Forests of Oak 

 It appears that arrangements are being made to recover extensive forests 

 of submerged oak in Russia. A company has been formed in England for 

 that purpose. About a year ago Hardwood Record described a piece of 

 the wood which it received from Russia. Further details of the extent 

 and location of the submerged oak have been received. The timber lies 

 at the bottom of tbe Moksha river, a tributary of the Oka, which runs 

 Into the Volga at Nijni Novgorod. The discovery was made by Colonel 

 I'cter Ivanoff, of the Russian Naval Diving Corps, and owner of property 

 along the river bank. It is stated that the bed of the river Is paved with 

 immense logs of oak for a distance of nearly 500 miles. The existence 

 of logs has long been known to the neighboring peasants, and for genera- 

 tions they have fished up logs whenever they wanted to build a cottage, 

 a cow-house, or to make new furniture. But the first to turn the forest
