HOO-HOO CONCATENATION AT WINNIPEG. A concatenation of the Hoo-Hoo order was held at Winnipeg on August 4th, with a goodly attendance of members, as many persons were in the city on account of the Dominion Exhibition. The proceedings took place amid great enthus- iasm, the introduction to the light of Hoo-Hoo- ism of some eight new kittens gave rise to the usual degree of joviality and good will, and the usual initiatory formalitieswere carried through with a strictness and precision worthy of a re- ligious duty and to the entire satisfaction of the members and officers present. After the completion of the concatenation ceremonies, a banquet worthy of the occasion was given to the "new kittens". Those initiated were : R. Lockhart, Fort William ; W. Martin, Wapella ; H. S. Galbraith, Win- nipeg ; M. M. Boyd, Winnipeg ; C. Mader, Seattle ; W. P. Dutton, secretary Red Deer Lumber Co. ; A. Tennant, Rat Portage Lum- ber Co. ; W. Springate, Brunette Sawmill Co. The officers in attendance were : G. B. Housser, Viceregent ; A. McKinney, Senior Hoo-Hoo ; J. G. Foss, Junior Hoo-Hoo ; J. C. Graham, Bojum ; J. L. Spencer, Scrivenoter ; W. B. Tomlinson, Jabberwock ; D. B. Sprague, Custocation ; D. L. Lincoln, Arcan- oper ; D. J. Macdonald, Gurdon. The order is one which gives itself strictly to the promotion of social fellowship and good feeling amongst its members, the member- ship being limited to those who are directly in- terested in the lumber trade.

Peter White, ot Pembroke, Ont., gave a picnic to his employees and their friends at THE "HOE" SAW EXHIBIT. Among the many handsome and interesting exhibits in the Liberal Arts Building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion, that of chisel-tooth saws shown by the firm of R. Hoe & Company is among the most interesting. This firm are also manufacturers of printing presses, which acccounts for their exhibit being located in the Liberal Arts Building. The saws are by no means the most uninteresting part of the exhibit, and seem to attract the attention and admiration of visitors quite as much as the more intricate printing press- es. R. Hoe & Company's specialty is the inserted-tooth circular saw, of which they were the originators and invent- ors. These saws have been in use for many years, and their superiority over solid saws for almost every kind of work has been thoroughly demonstrated. It is claimed that there is n~ finer inserted-tooth saw made than that manufac- tured by R. Hoe & Company. The accompanying picture shows a small section of the exhibit. The stand at the left side shows the name "R. Ho« & Co." artistically worked out in bits and shanks. The saw in the middle is six feet in diameter. On the left of the large saw is a small solid saw, with the date 1824 above it also made with bits and shanks, and on the opposite side is a small chisel-tooth saw with the date 1904 above it. This shows that R. Hoe & Company not only consider the chisel-

Exhibit of R. Hoe & Company at the St. Louis World's Fair. Golden Lake on August 4th, at which nearly seven thousand persons were present. Every- thing was provided free by Mr. White, and in addition all the employees were allowed full pay. For the purpose of satisfying the appe- tites of the large crowd, there were provided 1,350 pounds of cooked meats, 300 pounds of pork, 1,300 pounds of beef, 1,000 loaves of bread, 300 pounds of beans, 150 dozen buns, 800 pounds of cheese, 100 pounds of biscuits, 150 pounds of jam, 50 pounds of tea, 75 pounds of sugar, and cigars, soft drinks, fruit, cake and candy galore. Among the industries represented were the saw mills of the Pem- broke Lumber Company and A. & P. White, the National Manufacturing Company's es- tablishment, Pink's machine shops, the Pern- thoth saw the circular saw of the twentieth century, but also qat they have been manufacturing saws for eighty years— loaite an enviable record. A handsome mahogany glass case contains samples of the different styles and sizes of bits and shanks, also a complete assortment of saw tools. The saws, of which there are a dozen or fifteen, varying in size from 12 inches to five feet, are held in a simple but artistic stand in such a way that they can be easily removed and shown in detail to those interested. Several of R. Hoe & Company's friends have been so pleased with the work accomplished by their saws "that they have sent, not only testimonials, but samples of the work done by them, showing that the saws will cut iron as well as wood. Several of these relics have been exhibited ; among others a horse shoe is shown sliced off by a saw. In some way the shoe had become imbedded in the tree. No damage was done to the saw, other than the dulling of a few teeth. Another relic has been sent by Messrs. Chas. Smith, Jr., & Sons, of Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Their letter reads as follows : " We cut into a bolt of iron twice the other day with your chisel-tooth saw and did not injure the saw." R. Hoe & Company have spared no pains to make this a handsome exhibit, and they certainly deserve the greatest r edit for their patriotism and liberality.
