CITY NEWS
.CEDARMEN ARE HERE
Northwestern Association Is Hold
ing It's Annual Meeting at
the West Hotel.
Secretary's Report Gives Resume Of
Course of Business in the
Past Year.

The Northwestern Cedarmen's assoc
citation is holding its annual meeting this
afternoon at the West hotel. The session
was scheduled to open at 2 p. M, but ow-
ing to the lateness Of incoming trains the
members did not get together so soon.S
The business was principally routine. Inc
reports of the officers were heard, and
new officers chosen for the ensuing year.
Various matters connected with the trade
came up for discussion. ~ u. & r +. IS
The Northwestern Cedarnlen's associa-.
ton is composed Of seventy-three whole
sale firms of Minnesota, Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois, Idaho and Ohio This Is
the first time it's convention has been
held in Minneapolis The officers are G.
H. Worcester of Marinette, Wis, presi-
dent; r.. H. Downing, Minneapolis, vice.
president; H. w. Reade, Escanaba, Mich,
treasurer, and Fred II. Gilman. Mlnneap-
oils, secretary. Secretary Gilman In his
annual report said in part:
For some unexplainable reason, poles
were not in as good demand last year
as the prosperous condition of general
business would warrant. The large con-
sumers of poles, among the telephone,
telegraph and other electrical companies.
seemed to curtail operations in a way tc
cut off the demand for poles, perhaps with
the object in view Of showing up larger
dividends to their stockholders.
1.-THE producers and handlers OF posts
and shingles, however, particularly posts,
had no cause to complain Of the trade
they have enjoyed the past year. Not
long after our last annual meeting IN Me-
nominee in January when work III the
woods was being rushed and it looked as
if a large stock Of cedar posts would be
gotten OUT there came a break In the
weather earlier than usual and the supply
of posts for the year was somewhat cur
tailed. You know how firm the post sit
uation is to-day. Stocks up to 20-foo
| lengths are very light, and the demand
promises to be equally as good the, com
! ing year as it has been the past. GU
members who manufacture shingles hav'
to contend with competition Of the ret
cedar shingles from the Pacific coast
With perhaps one exception it has con
trolled the price of white cedar shingles
During the summer Of 1901, however, Whel
| west coast shingles took a big slump, tn
| white cedar market was not appreciate
affected and white cedar shingles stead
lily advanced until the beginning of 1870
| and continued quite firm until last sprin
when the red cedar shingle market agai
went off and our shingles followed suit
With the increased cost Of producing
cedar, both post and poles and shingl
| bolts, it is necessary that cedarmen &C
cordingly guard the margin between pro
ducing and selling that it may not dis
appear altogether
This evening the dealers in attendant
upon the convention will be entertained a
