Opening Session Thirteenth Annual National 

 Association 



As Hardwood Record goes to press the 

 thirteenth annual of the National Hardwood 

 Lumber Association is in session at Louis- 

 ville, Ky. The convention was opened with 

 about 300 members and guests present in 

 the Seelbaeh Hotel on the morning of June 

 9. President A-gler presided and Secretary 

 Fish was at his post. 



An interesting speech of welcome was 

 given by Mayor W. O. Head of Louisville, 



and the Hon. John M. Woods of Boston re- 

 sponded in his usual entertaining manner. 

 The attendants were welcomed on behalf of 

 the Louisville Lumbermen 's Club, which 

 acts as host on this occasion, by Capt. A. 

 E. Norman, president of the organization. 

 Eesponse to Capt. Norman 's address was 

 made by Maj. W. E. Barksdale of Memphis. 



President Agler then gave his annual ad- 

 dress, which was devoted largely to a his- 

 tory of the association's work and efforts 

 up to the present time. President Agler 

 endorsed the present aims and methods of 

 the organization and recommended no 

 changes in the policy of the association. 



A nominating committee of five to name 

 officers for the ensuing year was appointed, 

 and also a resolutions committee of five. 



On motion of W. H. Kusse the remaining 

 sessions of the convention were made 

 executive in character. 



Secretary Fish then delivered his annual 

 report, which went into all the details of 

 the business of the association during the 

 past year. His report showed that 114,000,- 

 000 feet of hardwood lumber had been in- 

 spected under official certificate plans, and 

 gave the financial resources of the associa- 

 tion to be about $11,000 net. During the 

 past year Secretary Fish stated there had 

 been an increase in membership of 116, 

 making the total enrollment 584. The esti- 

 mated worth of the members of the asso- 

 ciation was given as between $75,000,000 

 and $100,000,000, and the annual business 

 they transact was placed at between $250,- 

 000,000 and $300,000,000. 



The June 25 is.sue of the Eeoord will con- 

 tain full proceedings of the meeting. 



Meeting Memphis Lumbermen's Club 

 At a meotiug of the Lumbermen's Club of 

 Memphis held at the Hotel Gaj-oso, May 28, it 

 was decided ...at Memphis should make a fight 

 for the 1911 annual of the National Hardwood 

 Lumber As.soclation, and a committee of twelve 

 was appointed to do everything it could to secure 

 the gathering. W. R. Barksdale is chairman of 

 the committee and J. W. Thompson is vice- 

 chairman. Memphis is to send a large delega- 

 tion to the annua! at Louisville this year, and it 

 is the understanding that every delegate is to be 

 an ex-officio member of the steering committee. 

 It was practically decided at a previous meeting 

 that ilemphis would not be in the running for 

 the 1911 annual, but the subject was reconsid- 

 ered on the suggestion of Mr. Barksdale and Mr. 

 Thompson, with the result shown. It is the 

 opinion of the club that Memphis is the logical 

 place for the 1911 annual, and It was further 

 shown at this meeting that a number of cities 

 having large membership in the association were 

 in favor of holding the next meeting there. 



One of the features of the forthcoming conven 

 tion at Louisville will prol>a.,iy be a baseball 

 game between the team of the Luml)ermen"s Club 

 of Memphis and a team from some other club, 

 John W. McClure, manager of the Memphis team, 

 has sent a challenge to F. F. Fish, secretary of 

 the National Hardwood Lumber Association, of- 

 fering to play any similarly organized club dur- 

 ing the Louisville meeting, the winner to take 

 sixty per cent of the gate receipts and the loser 

 forty per cent and each team to pay its own 

 expenses. As yet no replies have been received 

 to this challenge and nothing definite has been 

 arranged in connection with the game. 



The baseball team of the Lumbermen's Club 

 will play a game with the team of the Lamb- 

 Fish Lumber Company at Charleston, Miss., June 

 ] 8. The contest will be at Charleston. A large 

 delegation will go down from Memphis to Charles- 

 ton on that occasion and a gala time is expected. 



It was announced at the meeting that games 

 would be piayed some time during the season 

 with Nashville and Cincinnati, the time for the 

 contests to be arranged later. 



Another boat ride on the Mississippi and a 

 moonlight picnic at Riverside Park Is planned 

 for some time this summer, the entertainment 

 committee to decide on the date. 



Four new members were admitted into the club 

 on the active list, as follows : L. E. Brown of 

 George C. Brown & Co., and Messrs. Bowman, 

 Moftett and Rush of MoEfett, Bowman & Rush. 



This was the last meeting of the season unless 

 there is some special reason for a called meet- 

 ing. It was for this reason that it was held in 

 the evening and that it was on a rather more 

 elalxjrate scale than usual. The attendance was 

 large and the banquet hall of the Gayoso was 

 handsomely decorated. President S. C. Major 

 was in the chair. 



The Statistics Committee of the Lumbermen's 

 Club of Memphis has formally submitted its 

 report to John W. McCIure, first vice-president, 

 in the absence of President S. C. Major, who Is 

 in Louisville looking after the interests of the 

 Memphis delegation in its efforts to secure the 

 next annual convention of the National Hard- 

 wood Lumber Association. This report has been 

 compiled after much strenuous effort on the 

 part of the members of the committee and pre- 

 sents the first statistics that have been compiled 

 since 1906. It will be noted that the showing 

 is a most excellent one and that, by comparison 

 with four years ago, substantial Increases are 

 shown all along the line. The total amount of 

 lumber manufactured or handled by Memphis 

 firms reached 640.000,000 feet, with a value of 

 more than $16,500,000, while the amount con- 

 sumed by woodworking Industries of the city 

 exceeded 106,000,000 feet, or almost as much as 

 the entire cut of Memphis sawmills in 1906. In 

 fact, the most suggestive feature of the report 

 io the rapid increase in woodworking enterprises.
