HOWBLL c HUMPHREY, BX-PRESIDENT. 

 The motion made by C. P. Kllingsou that 

 the Board of Directors act as nomi 

 committee for officers for the ensuing 



carried. 



PRICE LIST COMMITTEE. 



Mr. Chapman— In looking over the by- 

 laws. I do not find any article pertaining 



to a price list committee. 1 submit an extra 

 article, as follows, to be known as Article 



VII: 



\i each annual meetini list com- 



mittee of Ave members shall be elected to 

 serve until tin- next annual meeting, or until 

 their successors have been 'Phis corn- 



is to he elected in the same manner 

 and at the same time as other officers. The 

 duties oi this committee to be such as 



illy Kiv.n to committees of this kind. 

 Tic y shall hold such meetings during the 

 as in their judgment seems best, such meet- 

 called by tie- chairman. They 

 shall, from time to time, change the assocla- 

 tlon list as tic ir best judgment may dictate. 



In tlie past it lias been the policy to have 



three, but this is too small a number, es 

 pecially if they are to do any work - 

 the entire association is uol in session. 1 

 belies e ti'. e \\ ould be more likely I 

 get her. Thei efoi e, I move t hat the ai I 

 lopted. 

 Seconded and carried. 



REPORT OK N. I.. M. A. ANNUAL. 



President Humphrey called for a n 



EARL PALMER, PRESIDENT NATIONAL 

 HARDWOOD LUMBER ASSOCIATION. 



from the committee appointed t.. attend the 

 National Lumber Manufacturers' Associa- 

 t i„]i i • i Ihicago last May. of which 



Win. J. Wagstaff was chairman. 



Mi i have not pn 



ten report of that n I intended to 



have done so tmmediati I; 



impressed me at the convention was the un- 

 usually large attendance, a great pan. of 

 h was from the South. Thai shows that 

 South is of great importance at this 

 time. Al! 

 there, and they t.".k great interest li 



lit up at that meeting. The 



K. Smith 



i la- has certainly reflected great credit 



lie has |.cih. 1 1 

 ed things no other has 



accomplished. All his work has been of 

 high character. Possibly this strong Inl 

 from the South was due to the work b 

 done by southern mi rs in preserving 



their timber. The eastern contingent was 

 als-n strong. Our own sections were no 

 well represented. Our delegates were I 

 but the big fellows in the business were not. 

 I think it is a great mistake that people who 



III the ll. 



who are euumg off their timber do not at- 

 tend these meetings wbi I 



come up for discus help- 



ful to all engaged in the lunUx i business. 

 The principal thing I want to report 

 on Is the most Important papi r 



at that meeting Mr. Millaio- If.- Is
