The followins prominent lumUcrmen are attending tile meeting of tlie 

 Chamber of Commerce of the United States, this city, April 10, 11 and 12 : 

 J. W. McCIure, Memphis, for the American Ilardwood Manufacturers' 

 Association ; S. B. Anderson, Memphis, director of the Chamber of Com- 

 merce ; F. R. Babcock, Pittsburgh, Pa., representing the National Whole- 

 sale Lumber Dealers' Assoeiatioji, and C. R. Mcngel, Louisville, Ky., for 

 the Board of Trade of that city. 



Habdwood Record has received a pamphlet entitled "The Industrial 

 Resources and Opportunities of the South," compiled by Arthur D. Little, 

 Inc., Boston, Mass. The pamphlet is well worth the attention of any- 

 body interesteil in this question. 



The Hoo-Hoo officers have announced that the Morrison Hotel, Chicago, 

 will be the headquarters of the big Hoo-Hoo annual to be held on the 

 ninth of next September. Local Hoo-Hoo will have ample time to arrange 

 for entertainment that will make the coming annual a record-breaker; and 

 they are already at work to this end. 



The Lumbermen's Association of Cliicago is one of the most active of 

 local trade bodies In behalf of the Third Liberty Loan. The association's 

 War Board Is organized for the big drive and is already doing valiant 

 and effective work. It is confidently expected that when the campaign 

 is over the Chicago lumber trade will have made a showing satisfactory 

 to everybody concerned. 



One of the big events of last week In Chicago lumber circles was the 

 talk given at the association luncheon last Thursday by S. J. Duncan- 

 Clark, war correspondent for the Chicago Evening Post. Mr. Clark told 

 vividly of conditions confronting the allied cause and announcement of 

 his prospective appearance brought out a big and interested crowd. 



The Chicago association has just issued the Lumbermen's Log tor 1918, 

 containing full information regarding the personnel ot the association and 

 its divisions, giving membership of various committees and reproducing 

 reports of officers and committee chairmen for the year 1917. 



Members of the American Walnut Manufacturers' Association met in 

 Chicago last week for discussion of conditions within the industry. A 

 number of the walnut men present when interviewed relative to the 

 rumored scarcity of walnut, were emphatic in their assertions that such 

 rumors are not only vicious but baseless and that the walnut manufac- 

 turers are amply able to supply all needs for gun stocks, propellers and 

 other war needs. And that the actual stand of walnut would not be 

 seriously affected by their doing so. The most serious obstacle in the 

 way of getting out walnut logs is the attitude of many people owning 

 desirable stands or trees who for speculative reasons or because of direct 

 desire to obstruct the government or because sentimental attachment for 

 the trees exceeds their patriotism are holding on to highly desirable sup- 

 plies. Such people might do well to emulate the example of the many 

 who have, in the national cause, laid aside the sentiment which has from 

 generation to generation bound them to trees which literally have grown 

 up with their respective families. Prominent walnut men who were 

 present were : J. N. Penrod, Frank Purcell and J. C. Rodahaffer, Kansas 

 City ; R. E. Pickrel, St. Louis ; \. L. Clark, Des Moines ; Geo. W. Hartzell, 

 PIqua, O., H. B. Sale, Ft. Wayne ; Louis Moschel, Pekln, III. ; W. A. 

 MacLean, New Albany, Ind. 



Excitement was rife in the offices of the National Hardwood Lumber 

 Association a week ago Monday when on opening up it was discovered 

 that someone had pilfered Liberty Bonds and stamps valued at $800 from 

 the office vault. The bonds were owned by members of the office force. 



Among prominent northern visitors in Chicago last week were : R. B. 

 Goodman of Marinette and G. W. Jones and H. C. Humphrey of the G. W. 

 Jones Lumber Company, Appleton, Wis. Subsequently to Mr. Goodman's 

 Tlslt It was announced that the annual convention of the National Lum- 

 ber Manufacturers' Association of which he is acting president, had been 

 postponed to May 7 and 8. 



Jones, Coates and Bailey, prominent In box circles In Chicago have sold 

 out their box and shook department to the Republic Box Company. 



=< BUFFALO >= 



The eli'ctlon of Horace F. Taylor to the presidency of the National 

 Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association Is very satisfactory to the Buffalo 

 trade, as he has always been popular as president of the Lumber Exchange, 

 and his re-election last month was a special compliment, because the rule 

 of giving two terms has not always been followed. Though the choice 

 was a regular promotion from the first vice-presidency, Mr. Taylor did 

 not agree to accept it until strongly urged by the Buffalo lumbermen who 

 were in attendance at the mi«tltig. That he followed another Buffalonian, 

 M. E. Prelsch, into the offlco Is not as unusual as It may seem, because 

 Mr. Prelsch is a member of the Tonawanda trade. 



Representative Waldow has been trying In Congress to get for Buffalo 

 part of the $50,000,000 housing appropriation. He offered an amendment, 

 the effect ot which would have been to Insure part of the money being spent 



here, but this was voted down because of the unwillingness to mention 

 any city by name, leaving the distribution to the administration. Mr. 

 Waldow said that Buffalo contractors have less work than they usually 

 have at this time, although the city has need of houses for munition plant 

 workers.
