 you can in the meantime.

.Tohn Curry of Connellsville. Fa., has secured 40U acres of timber back 

 of Dunbar, Pa., in the coke regions and is building a sawmill to cut off 

 the oak and hardwood. 



The J. C. Donges Lumber Company reports shipments good but orders 

 scattering and hard to get. Hardwood trade in the yards is very much 

 of a puzzle. 



The Foster Lumber Company is making good headway in the sales 

 of oak and hardwood, especially for railroad work. It is also doing a 

 nice business in oak timbers, etc.. furnished to contractors. 



The window glass factories throughout tlie Pittsburgh district are be- 

 ginning to take considerable more lumber than a few weeks ago. They 

 are not stocking up for next year but are finding it necessary to buy 

 larger quantities for current needs. 



H. E. Ast, manager of the Mutual Lumber Company, recently took 

 over next to the biggest order in his business history. He reports auto- 

 mobile trade quiet as this is between seasons, but says that manufacturing 

 buying is showing some improvement. 



A. M. Kinney Lumber Company of South Heights. Pa., is cutting a 

 fine lot of oak at its mill near that place. This is being manufactured

H. L, Bowman, general sales manager of the R. E. Wood Lumber Com- 

 pany, Continental building, is back at his desk after an absence of months 

 on account of illness. Mr. Bowman spent some time at his former home 

 in Lynchburg. Va., his progress toward recovery being very slow, but he 

 finally reached the point where his convalescence could be regarded as 

 assured, and is now fast getting back bis old vigor. He declares it feels 

 good to get into harness once more and says that he finds the hardwood 

 trade in much better shape than he had expected. 



There is every indication that the old controversy between members of 

 the lumber trade and the city authorities relative to the storing of lumber 

 in the streets and on portions of sidewalks in the lumber district will 

 break out afresh. The city engineer has recently submitted a report to 

 the Board of Estimates stating that 67,.300 square feet of highway and 

 footway are taken up with lumber. The city engineer further stated that 

 if a charge of 50 cents per square foot were made, the city would receive 

 a revenue of not less than $38,654 a year, or more than one cent on the 

 tax rate. .\s large expenditures have been made for modern pavements 

 and other municipal improvements, and the mayor and his assistants are 

 hard put to it to keep down the tax rate, new sources of revenue are being 

 looked for, and the lumbermen may be made to pay for piling lumber on 

 thoroughfares. According to the city engineer some of the lumber firms 

 years ago promised to pay .$500 a year for the privilege, but not a dollar 

 has ever been received. The lumbermen for their part maintain that they
