finally, enjoy" the crowning climax of Hoo-Hoo "on the roof,"
Vice gerent Williams assisted by Supreme Junior Hob-Hoo, John S.
Bonner, is also arranging to hold a notable concatenation In Houston at the
: close of ihe No-Tsu-Óh Carnfyal. Of this coming event the Houston
| Chronicle speaks as follows: ^ ....
The Ancient and Most Honorableu'Order of Hoo-Hoo, Division, of Texan,
j Isjiow preparing for its grand annual frolic and concatenation. The frolic
assumes thá form yearly of a street parade, and is the last important event
| during the week of the No-Tsu-Oh carnival. After Nottoc and all others are '
through parading; after fhe anta and horse rraces, the roping contests, the
' Confetti battles,' the chicken and _uet show the balloon ascension and "
, the performances of the mifl\vay are at an end—in fact, after the ball Is
over—the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo step In, touches off a ton or so
of colored brimstone and makes a gr^tnd and sweeping finale for the week of
^festivities. The flnale assumes the importance of a Climax—a climax' that
wiUx be most effectivcrand lasting. 4-
John IT Bonner, Supreme Junior %ífoo-H« . has all the details in hand
for the Hoo-Hoo activity. The success or last season is to be ignored in com-
parison witii what is now planned.
f B. F Williams, Viceg<^ent Snark for South fexás, with headquarters I
Victoria, will'of course be on hand and will lead the hoatfe of shadow.
It may not be giving any secret away to say that 1.000 shooting stlck-viiave
^ Seen ordered for the frolic. These shooting sticks do not bear any relation
to those on^tSa, editorial page of the Chronicle. They are useful to walk
with', and a i so Ho make the hair assume the attiude of the quills of the fret-
ful porcupine. A' regiment of militia on the isthmus making a charge couíd
. made no mare racket. They have all the ingredients of a well loaded car-
bine with the exception of bullets. "
Application* from unborn kittens are pouring in. Their journey will
| begin with the street frolic. They will be escorted, on a tour of the principal
j streets, mounted on camels, elephants, zebras and other animals. The en-'
Itlre menagerie Collection of the Gaskill-Mundy company will be at the dis-
posal of the Hoo-Hoo. The kittens will, receive the-benefit of this friendly
offer The street parade and frolic and bombardment will begin.on. S^tur-
| day night, about 8:30 o'clock,-and will" be kept up until every spectator has
^ b-i(?n run into hiding. Then the caravan will proceed, to headquarters and
the concatenation will fill in the remaining hours of darkness.

MANUFACTURERS OF
Long leaf Yellow Pine Lumber
LAURELIA (Polk county) TEXAS.
The plant is located 90 rallas North of Houston,"
Texas, on the Houston, Bast and West Texas R. R.,
- in the long leaf Yellow Pine forests of Polk County.
The equipment is a first-class Logging railroad, a
modern Saw Mill, Planing Mill and superior Dry
Kilns. The facilities for supplying rough and dreaaed
i and timber are among the beat.
| Tht; moat satisfactory feature about the lumber trade this week, as re-
ported by the manufacturers^ inter vie wed by the Leader representative yes-
terday . is the very marked improvement in the car service. This improve-
! ment is especially noticeable as regards Santa Fe cars. This road has at
last been enabled to make good its promises and the mills at Orange have
had an abundance of cars to go over this line all of this week. The South-
| ern Pacific, too, has kept reasonably good supply of cars available for the
lumber shippers and lumber has been moving out from the big plants here
in more than average volume for several days past. The weather has been
'cool and pleasant and car loaders have had sufficient ginger in their blood
| to keep things hustling, while never was. lumber in better conditnion to be
i run through planing mills.
All of the mills report an abundance of orders for yard stock, the
j majority of which are coming from the northwest, as has feeen the esse
¡ for some time past. Lumber, dealers located in the Texas rice belt are also
| buying very heavily, an immense amount of lumber going into consumption
throughout that section in improvements, of all kinds. Outside of North
Texas, this is the only part of the state that is consuming much lumber at
the present time. The demand for common lumber haB kept up so ooo-
1 stanily all this year that there has not yet been any accun*ilati(^n of stock*
j at mills that haver-had- any reasonable car service that would enable t.hem
! to make* shipments with any degree of rejgularity. Items on the left hand
¡ side of the list, though, have'not been in such urgent demand fdr some time
past and there has been some accumulation of high grade stock. How-
j ever, manufacturers, do not seem to be at all worried about this accumula-
tion, as they prefer to hold thiB stock in their sheds to sacrificing it by un-
loading the material upon an unwilling markot.
Another significant feature of the lumber situation this week and oo«
that bears promise of good things in the near future is the increased num-
ber of large inquiries "for railroad and other heavy- structural material tf "
are being sent to the manufacturers. While we have not learned of
large orders being placed this week, the very fact that these inquiries
beginning to circulate .would Indicate that it will only be a short time no'
ur.tll hoáy purchases begin to be the order of the day. This would seem
bear outthe statement previously made in these columns that railroad pui
chasing agents were only waiting for the beginning of a new year to
to lay in supplies for the unm,erous improvements and extensions
torn plated for the coming twelve months,. Railroads have done no new wo
of any importance for several -months past and have only dono
repair work as was absolutely necessary, heneé, as soon as the fall ruah
over thoy will have to begin making extensive repairs, as well as much
work, all of which will require a large amout of yellow pino lumber,
the mills of Southeast Texas stand ready to supply. - 1
Local exporters report that there is absolutely nothing doing in the i
of new export business. 'Some shipments are going forward on old
and contracts, hut the leader has been unable to'leam of any new
whatever having been placed here this Week. Advices from the oth
are still showing a bad state of affairs there In the timber
not likely that there will be any marked Improvement In the
Some shipments of sawn timber and some small lots of prime
ward from mitts at Orange this week but, as said before, it id
orden. '
The mills at Orange are all running on full,time aad the
