[By Our Travelling Representative.] At one time the Saginaw valley held undisputed sway "to the bulk of the lumber trade. Now the lum- ber industry (which is a different thing from the timber industry) is "all over the state," as a retail dealer told me. After a journey to Chicago to interview the Hines concern and several other companies, I came back to Durand, Mich. Durand owes its existence in the center of the state to the fact that it is an important railroad center and the junction of three or four roads. To me it looked like a lumber center, yet I found but one firm of dealers there, McBride & Son, who are certainly doing a flourishing -business. After telling Mr. McBride what I knew of Canadian lumber and what I didn't know of "Hoo-Hoo," we both came to the same opinion, i. e., that there was nothing to equal Canadian white pine. From Durand I struck north to Saginaw, where I met such well-known lumbermen as Messrs. John J. Rupp, Lewis C. Slade, L. P. Mason, J. D. Draper and others, all of whom are interested in Canadian lumber. I visited every lumber firm in the city, among which were the Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company, who have extensive mills at Sandwich, Ont., the Morse Cedar Company, Booth & Boyd Lumber Company, Saginaw Mfg. Company, Briggs & Cooper Company, Limited, and N. N. Wright & Company, 'all of whom are doing a thriving business. Among the manufacturers of mill mach-* inery and mill supplies, the Morley Bros., the Wickes Bros., and the Allington &* Curtis Mfg. Company are pre-eminent in their various lines, in fact, their goods are known in every lumber mill or camp on (his continent. From Saginaw to West Saginaw is only " over the river," but I was not able to catch many of the lumbermen at home. A
