 ican Building, which conducts among other activities a hardwood depart- 

 ment, has been in poor health lately, and his condition has become so

 will be employed on it.

 and spectator at a meeting of the Order of Hoo Hoo, held at Marion, 

 October 27. The Concatenation followed a meeting of District No. 11 of 

 the Ohio .\ssooiatlon of Retail Lumber Dealers-, which was held at Marion 

 during the afternoon. Senator Harding is a member of the order, being 

 connected with the lumber business in his home city, lie made a short 

 talk on fellowship, claiming that the order to which he has belonged for 

 the past ten years was promoting principles which were of Ijeneflt not only 

 to the members, but to the lumber industry and the public. Laurent M. 

 Tally of St. Louis, "Snark of the Universe," was present, as well as other 

 national officers. In all 44 candidates were initiated into the mysteries of 

 the order. Among the candidates were R. S. Parsons, general manager of 

 the Erie Rrailroad ; G. H. Flint, manager of the Harding Publishing Com- 

 pany ; Robert McNeil Ginter, a Washington newspaperman, and others. 

 Of the candidates 25 were retailers, two of whom were from Columbus. 

 They were W. C. Teachout and E. R. Clarridge. J. D. Pendergast was 

 toastmaster at the banquet. 



A number of changes have been made in the organization of the lumber 

 department of the Central West Coal & Lumber Company of Columbus.

 ber 1 and his successor has not yet been named. J. M. .\ndrews, manager 

 of the lumber department, will look after the sales department for the 

 time being, H. J. Baumeister, formerly a salesman, resigned and has 

 accepted a position with the Franklin Lumber Company. E. H. Hammond, 

 formerly Columbus representative of the J. J. Newman Lumlier Company,

 ber Company, has returned from a business trip to Louisville. 



E. M. Stark, secretary of the American Column & Lumber Company, was 

 called to Chicago on business early iu November, 



R. W. Horton of the W. M. Ritter Lumber- Company reports a quiet 

 trade in hardwoods. Buying on the part of retailers is still the best 

 feature of the trade. Dealers, however, are following the policy of buy- 

 ing for the immediate future only and are not disposed to tak^ a chance 

 on accumulating stocks. Factories are also buying in limited quantities. 

 Prices show a decline from previous levels. Shipping facilities are better 

 and shipments are going out promptly. 



E. M. Stark, secretary of the American Column & Lumber Company, 

 reports a better feeling in hardwood circles, which is shown by a larger 

 number of inquiries and orders. Prices have stiffened up to a certain 

 e.Ntent. Some high grade stocks are moving fairly well under the cir- 

 cumstances. 



The Colun\bus Lumbermen's Club held open house at the club rooms at 

 Chestnut and High streets election night to receive returns.^ A large
