Prior To The Fire

The first seventeen days of April witnessed the general tra<le propensities.of.the -year. Orders were large and plentiful; prices wetl marntatned $ tth an upward tendency. The local orders were 'enormous with just as 11.uch called for south. Building was active and competition was stilled by the desire to secure tr.imber where possible. In' many instances, price cuts no figtrre. The lumber

Hardwoods were a trifle dull, but ruinous competi- tion on the coist was responsible for the unhaplry state of 'his market. FerQ houses liandle the hardwood lumber, yet an entirc absence of co-operation, was the keynote of the failure of the dealers to take the best advantage of the then current prices.

THE S'TIP SUBSIDY MEASURE

The fire at San Francisco was bad enough, but there is another catastrophe that must be averted. The ship subsidy bill must be killed if the bonus is to be allowed American craft carrying lumber from British Columbia to coastu'ise Dorts,

Under the direction of Snark Frank Trowcr, Hoo Hoo helcl orre of its most successful initiations on the 7th of April last. The tear-n of officers, with the able assistance of Ex-Vicegerant Henry Templeman, carried ofi their labors with splendid eclat. The work of Junior Hoo Hoo Davis was replete with brilliancy and surpriscs, so that the candidates and members went home fully satisfied with the cercmonies of the night. With one exception, every member's efforts were most appreciated, but there seems, in that individual instance, to be a stight tendency toward "Too Much Johnson."

Among those pres€nt were: F. \Ar. and A. E. Trower, J. C' Ellis, R. J. Knight, G. T. Hofiman, E. F. Niehaus, J' W. Palmer, W. A. Hammond, W. J. Woodside, R. A. Hiscox, P. H. Thompson, W. H. Newell. C. R. McCormick, J. S. Gill, A. B. McNair, J. H. Povvell, W. W. Everett, A. J. Russell, i. H Pricleaux an<i J. H. Cunningham, all of San Francisco.

There will be an initiation before lot.rg ir-r the Valley of the San Joaquin. Let all line up for tl-re good of the Order, more especialll' for the good of the purblin<l kittens waiting for the light of day down where the Joaquin flou's. Perhaps there is \Vurtxberger there as well.

The great fire rvill call a halt on Hoo Hoo jollity and givc the Order a chance to shorn' u'hat it is good for.

What They Think Of It

S. E. Sladc: "Why, this thing is too hard to believe see the city's remains. We are going to come out O. K. though, and be better situated than before."

"Matt" Hlrris: "Our whole fine yard and offices went, but we came out with whole skins and plenty of vigor to show others that San Francisco is very much alive."

A. B. Hammond: "I am uot a very well man. I wish I were thirty again, for it is my belief that San Francisco shows more possibilities ahead for young men than any other similarly stunned city."

J. R. Hanify: "A little too soon to deal squarely with the future prospects, but I ttould say ofihand that I believe we are sailing in the right directiorr toward conservative advancement of San Francisco. It is a hard blow, but we will drcp a little laziness and all get busy."

E. I(. Wood: "Our yards are sraved, and we are ready for orders arry and all times. In my mind, I believe we shall see San Francisco the best city in the country, if not in the world. We lumbermen should now all pull together and mdke things spin."

Lumber Losses By Fire

The following are the lumber companies tvho lost their San Francisco yards by the fire: Bellinghanr Bay Lumber Company, Simpson Lumber Companl', Doe & Company, Hickman & Masterson, Jones & Co., E. A. Howard & Co., N{cClc,rd River Lumber Company, D. H. Bibb Lumber Co. Blythe & Trott, E,. F. Niehaus & Co., Allen & Higgins. The only yard saved along North Beach was that of Swett & Davenport, while all the channel yards were saved, although considerabl-v looted afterw:trds.

Owing to the heavy lvind after the fire, some of the iumbermen had their offices blown dou'n the str€ets. They should have had strings on their hats.
