BEMIDJI NAVAL UNIT ENJOYS LAKE CRUISE According to word recwived from the, Bemidji Naval unit on board the U. S. S. Essex, the boys are having a 'big time, and are enjoying the Pageant ‘of Progress being held at Chicago, although the cit itself is “nothing much.” The Essex is the guard ship of the fleet. The ‘‘gobs” are showing up well in comparison with the other ships, espe- cially in signaling. The signal divi- sion of the Essex has them all beaten, and the boys on the Essex even ad- mit' it. They say that the division is made up mostly of Bemidji boys, and of course that is why the Bemiidji boys admit it is good. They are en- joyifig boat races and say that they are becoming quite “salty’ although they have been on fresh water ever since leaving Duluth. Shore leave in Chicago apparently arpeals to the boys and they are tak- ing /it as often as allowed. As far as can be ascertained they are all in the best of health and are enjoying every minute of their cruise.

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN IN (GENERAL LUMBER MARKET The weekly lumber market review from the American Lumberman, Chi- cago, shows that on the whole the market trend has shown improve- ment. Not only has the volume of inquiry increaved considerably but the volume of sales has increased and the character of the business is more varies. Orders have been placed for considerable car material and rail- road timbers and at the same time the volume of purchases of yard stock by retail lumbermen has shown an increase. In the southern pine and Douglas fir regions a considerable shortage of staple yard stock is de- veloping, as a number of the mills are dversold. Purchasers, particularly retailers, are not plading orders until the stock is badly needed. This situation is emphasized by the nuprber of wires received by sellers from customers asking after orders recently placed and how soon shipments may be made. In the south, particularly, many of the producers are short of flooring, ceiling, siding’ and finish Some manufacturers are also oversold: on certain items of dimencion. Praluction continues slack for this season of the year, and is just about equal to the volume of shipments. Prices are somewhat firmer and it is not easy to obtain concessions as it was a week or ten days ago, UP THE OTHER FELLOWS (Copyrtiht) BEMIDJI, MINN., MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1921 IDJI DAILY PIONEER l I | T I MINNESOTA M\I,:nes nigh# and night and Tuesdgy, , 55¢c PER MONTH Dyl u""!”’l - PR \ [ Z !
