those in attendance at a reunion of Confed- 

 erate veterans. 



Samuel Hopper of Samuel Hopper & Sons, 

 Baton Bouge. La., was selected as chairman 

 of the meeting, and James Boyd of the Lumber 

 Trade Journal secretary. Mr. Hopper said he 

 thought that it was a matter of great import- 

 ance to the hardwood manufacturers of Louisi- 

 ana to get together and get acquainted, as 

 there are many questions affecting their inter- 

 ests which could be discussed with profit. 



F. H. Ruger of the Duluth Lumber Company 

 of Dunn. La., thought the organization was of 

 the greatest importance, and favored the call- 

 ing of another meeting In May, the call to be 

 signed by all represented at the meeting either 

 in person or by letter. 



Lewis Doster, secretary of the Hardwood 

 Manufacturers' Association of the United States, 

 addressed the meeting on the subject of the 

 aims and achievements of his association. He 

 stated that it was more economical for the 

 manufacturers of the various sections to hold 

 district meetings from time to time, and for- 

 ward their requests for legislation to the Manu- 

 facturers' Association than to attend the 

 annual meetings of the parent organization. 

 They would thus have the full value of the 

 big association's inspection corps, bureau of 

 information, stock list system, trade conditions

 as hosts. 



Ne-w Orleans Meeting. 

 A preliminary meeting of the hardw'ood manu- 

 facturers of Louisiana was called at the offices 

 of the Southern Cypress Manufacturers' Asso- 

 ciation at New Orleans on Friday, April 27, 

 but owing to the small attendance was ad- 

 journed to May 17. The reason of the paucity 

 of attendance was apparent to all owing very 

 largely to insufficient notice, the extreme and 

 unseasonable heat, and the fact that New Or- 

 leans was packed to its utmost capacity by 



reports, and of all the machinery of the various 

 departments of the association. 



Henry H. Gibson, editor of the Hardwood 

 Record, addressed the meeting on the commer- 

 cial value of association work. 



On motion it was decided that the most fa- 

 vorable time to hold an adjourned meeting 

 would be Thursday, May 17, as the annual meet- 

 ing of the Cypress Association would be held 

 on May 16, and a good many individuals would 

 be interested in both meetings. Chairman Hop- 

 per was authorized to issue such call and to 

 subscribe thereto the names of all hardwood 

 manufacturers present, and others who had ex- 

 pressed approval of the movement. 



There were present : 



Samuel Hopper, Samuel Hopper & Sons, Baton 

 Rouge, La.

 and a form for a constitution and by-laws
