Jlr. Uiisse was made first vice-president. 

 a position he still holds. 



He has lieeu a faithful member of the 

 National association and one of its hardest 

 workers, and if he consents to stand for 

 the presidency at Indianapolis he will have 

 a \('ry strong following. 



.Mr. Kusse is so well known in the trade 

 as a strong and able man that it is not 

 necessary to enter into details. If elected 

 he will fill the high office with dignity and 

 ability. 



He has been strongly endorsed by the 

 Memphis Lumbermen's Club for the presi- 

 denc.v of the National association, and we 

 understand tliat the Memphis contingent 

 will make a strung tight for him. 



E. E. GOODLANDER MABRIED. 



The many friiMids of Elmer E. Good- 

 lander, of the Goodlander-Ilobertson Lum- 

 ber Company. Memphis. Tenn., and presi- 

 dent of the Jlemphis Lumberman's Club. 

 will be pleased to learn that he is married. 

 We don't I'emember the exact date, but it 

 doesn't matter now. 



The fortunate lady who won this capital 

 prize was Mrs. E. B. Knapp of Jlemphis. 

 and we congratulate her because Mr. Good- 

 lander is a whole-souled, big-hearted man. 

 and if properly managed will make a good 

 husband. We would advise Mrs. G. to be 

 very strict with hiju. 



Mr. Goodlander is well known and well 

 liked throughout the entire hardwood ter- 

 ritory as a thorough lumberman, an able 

 business man and a gentleman. He has 

 an especially large number of friends in 

 the Chicago market, which in former years 

 he visited several times a year. 



The Hardwood Record wishes Mr. and 

 Mrs. Goodlander all possible happiness and 

 jjrosperity. 



MATTER OF CONGRATULATION. 



In the midst of our enlarged national 

 domain and increased national expendi- 

 tures, it is a matter for honest self-con- 

 gratulation that the United States has at 

 the present time the smallest national 

 debt of any of the larger countries of the 

 globe. The debt of this country at the 

 present time is only twelve dollars for 

 each inhabitant, while the per capita debt 

 of England on the same ratio is sevent.v- 

 four dollars, of France one hundred and 

 fifty dollars, and Germany, Russia, Italy 

 and Spain have debts varying from sixt.v 

 <lollars to line liunilrcd and eighty dol- 

 lars for each num. woman and child 

 within their several domains. The inter- 

 est on.tlu! debt of our country at the pres- 

 ent time is thirt.v-tive cents a year for 

 each inli.ibitaiit, the greater part of the 

 debt bearing only two per cent interest — 

 the smallest amount paid by any country. 

 It will, therefore, be noted that our 

 finances and exiienditures are being eco- 

 nomically managed, even though the pr<'S- 

 ent ye;irs ar(> .vcars of emergence from 

 tiational beriuitage to a position anioug 

 the industrial and commercial controlling 

 nations of this century. — Cadillac News

NEW DIXIE. 



By a Memphis Ins[iector. 

 The Old South's wealth was in cotton. 



This staple 



Was the king; 

 But with the New South, the present, 



AVhy. lumber 



Is the thing. 



■\\'here wild turkeys used to gobble 



On bayous. 



Or ridges 

 .ALUs now day and night are sawing 



Big timbers 



For bridges. 



Where whippoorwills sang, and deer 

 roamed 



In thickets 



And thistles. 

 Big double cutting band saw mills. 



Wake the woods 



With whistles. 



This new progress is what it seems, 



Permanent, 



It is real; 

 And sniierseding old negroes. 



Steam "niggers" 



Turn the wheel. 



The South is apprised of her worth, 



New Dixie 



Is in smiles; 

 The fairest countr.v in the world, 



Witli forests 



Miles and miles. 



With the best timber of the States 



In oak. ash. 



Cypress, pine: 

 In hickory, elm, Cottonwood. 



Still others. 



And all tine. 



The mill men have discovered them, 



The sections 



They know well; 

 And the lumber they are cutting, 



Quality 



Makes it sell. 



So here's tipping hat to New Dixie, 



Not cotton, 



But lumber; 

 The Old South was a proud, grand one, 



But the new's 



A "hummer." 



'ri'en the new song for New Dixie 



Is: Away— 



Look away — 

 Look 'way down south in lumberland! 



For lumber 



Has the day. 



FORESTRY PROFITABLE IN THE 

 SOUTH. 



I904 



ST. LOUIS V^.iW >^yj 



THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH AT 

 SEWANEE HAS FOUND IT SO. 



What Can Be Done When Forestry Is Prac- 

 ticed with Lumbering— High Profits and 

 a Better Forest the Results. 



The direct and immediate advantages of 

 careful lumbering when combined with 

 the practice of forestry have seldom been 

 so forcibly shown as in the case of the 

 University of the South at Sewauee, Tenn., 

 whose timberlands have been managed 

 since 1900 under the direction of the 

 Bureau of Forestry. 



Although .^.S.tXlO for all of its timber 

 was considered a fair offer by the uni- 

 versity in 1809. the bureau, by its plan of 

 management, has already secured a net 

 profit for the university of .'J.'J.^tX). Four 

 more years of lumbering remain to be 

 done, and for three years at least there is 

 an assured annual profit of ¥1,500. In a 

 word, timber formerly valued at .$3,000 

 will have been made to yield a profit of 

 over $7,000. 



Sewanee is on the toi> of a spur of the 

 Cumberland Plateau, and is a noted sum- 

 mer resort. Every summer when the uni- 

 versit.v opens, hundreds of persons from 

 all over the South take cottages in the 

 town to enjoy for the season the fine 

 climate and the Iteanties of the woodland 

 scenery. The ■\\ork of the Bureau of For- 

 estry is thus brought to the attention of a 

 large number of people, many of them 

 owners of southern timberlands. who see 

 for themselves the great practical advan- 

 fciges of forestry and careful lumbering in 

 the surprisingly large profits and improved 

 appearance of the forest. 



A detailed account of how the results in 

 the Sewanee forest have been achievtHl 

 has just been published by the Bureau of 

 Forestry in Bulletin 39. entitled, "Con- 

 servative Lumbering at Sewanee," by 

 John Foley. The bulletin does not furnish 

 such specific instructions for the manage- 

 ment of timberlands like those at Sewanee 

 that they can be applied to them without 

 expert assistance. It illustrates, however, 

 what may be done with such timberlands; 

 and especially does it emphasize that lum- 

 bering and forestry may be practiced in 

 the South, as elsewhere, with profit. 



Ira B. Bennett, formerly oC Detroit, 

 Mich., writes from Albuquerque, N. M., 

 with information to the effect that he has 

 closed ont his business at Detroit and had 

 located at .Vlbuqucrque, and as the letter- 

 head shows, is general manager of the 

 American Lumber Company, a big insti- 

 tution that was fully described in the 

 columns of the Record a few months ago. 

 Mr. Bennett states that they are at work 

 on the erection of a large double band mill 

 and are also building 20 miles of railroad 

 from the main line of the Santa Fe to their 

 mill site and back into their timberlands.
