MIDLAND THE SOURCE OF A GREAT CONCATENATION The concatenation which was held under the auspices of the Hoo-Hoo members of Mid- land, Ont., on June 30th, will be chronicled in the annals of the Order as a most successful and enjoyable affair. The arrangements were complete, and all who anticipated a pleasant time had the satisfaction of its realization. The visiting members and candidates from Toronto, London, Gait, Woodstock, Orillia, Chatham, Gravenhurst and other points reached Midland shortly after the noon hour, when they were met by a local deputation and shown around the town. The great centre of attrac- tion, of course, was the magnificent saw mills, of which Midland is justly so proud. Where can four more complete mills be found? Two double-cutting bands and a circular comprise the sawing equipment of the Playfair & White mill, two double-cutting bands are to be found in Norman L. Playfair's mill and similar equip- ment in G^o. Chew & Son's mill, while Chew Bros, operate a circular and gang and double cutting band. These mills turn out lumber at the rate of upwards of 500,000 feet per day, which, estimating at fifteen logs to the thous- and, means a daily comsumption of 7,500 logs. At 5 o'clock the party embarked upon steam- ers en route to Honey Harbor. In addition to the steamer "Maud", bearing the banner of the Hoo-Hoo Navigation Company, the private yachts of Dwight J. Turner and D. S. Pratt conveyed some of the members to the con- catenation headquarters. The weather was warm and the sail on the Georgian Bay was delightful and much appreciated. If the craft had any sorrows they were all forgotten for the time. Arriving at Honey Harbor, the first duty of the party was to assemble for the group photograph which is here reproduced. And now for the concatenation. The large dining room of the Hotel "Royal Honey Harbor" met the requirements splendidly. The "Supreme Nine" was represented by Supreme Arcanoper W. C. Laidlaw, of To- ronto, while the Vicegerent Snark for Eastern Canada, Dan. Ferguson, of London, was present in his official capacity. The officers were : Snark, D. Ferguson. Senior Hoo-Hoo, D. L. White. Junior Hoo-Hoo, J. G. Cane. Bojum, W. Hadley. Scrivenoter, O. H. Vogt. Jabberwock, Ward Sutherland. Custocatian, W. J. MacBeth. Arcanoper, W. J. Hetherington. Gurdon, H. J. Bartlett. The blind kittens who had evinced a desire to walk in the light of Hoo-Hoo numbered sixteen, all good material. It was after 10 o'clock when they were permitted to enter the onion bed, which was fresh and green as the result of the abundant growth of the spring season, and when once commenced the work was lively enough for all, some of the kittens even showing fatigue while under tests of physical strength, such as "lung testing" and "fencing". The extras which were introduced as the result of the additional duties imposed upon the Scrivenoter were well carried out and the "Cornmeal" diet provided for the occasion has, according to report, had a stimulating effect upon the kittens. Despite the diffi- culty of a number of the feats, all the candi- dates were successful in reaching the goal, and finally did honor in an audible way to the Sacred Cat with its benign tail. Below is the list:— W. J. Martin (W. J. Martin & Company), Hillsdale. H. G. Cooke (W. Cooke & Sons), Hillsdale. A. E. Clarkson (Playfair & White), Midland. W. R. Spooner (Turner Lumber Company), Midland. C. R. Shaw (H. H. Hettler Lumber Company),Midland. L. J. Regan (Playfair & White), Midland. Frank Bartholeme\V (Tanner Bros.), Tannerville. A. M.

Patterson (Patterson-Tilley Company), Hamilton. G. H. Long (Long Lumber Company), Hamilton. an expression of those sentiments which bring the fraternity of lumber interests closer together. Then followed a musical programme, contribut- ed by W. W. Scane, Ward Sutherland, Jas. McLaughlin, A. G. Breed, the Chatham Quar- tette, and others. Some contributed poems were read by W. C. Laidlaw, and the singing of "God Save the King" closed one of the most enjoyable meetings which has been held by the Hoo-Hoo of Canada, for which much credit is due the local members. We must especially compliment Frank Moores for his efficient work. The party returned to Midland by steamer early Saturday morning and left for their respective homes. Among those present to witness the concatenation were the following: J. C. Anderson (Mickle-Dyment Co.), Gravenhurst. A. G. Breed (Firstbrook Box Co.), Penetanguishene. H. J.

At each plate were two souvenirs, one being a paper weight in the form of a miniature iron car wheel for tram service, and bearing the compliments of the Midland Engine Works Company; the other a steel watch chain of neat design on which are shown a file, band saw, shingle saw, circular saw and cross-cut saw, • this being the gift of Henry Disston & Sons, of Philadelphia, through their Canadian manager, W.
