The railroad administration has proposed a general readjustment of 

 freight rates from the Beaumont district to Ohio river crossings and the 

 nuttter is now before the Dallas district freight committee. It is proposed 

 to advance the rates applicable via the Gulf Coast lines and Southern Pa- 

 cific (except to Henderson, Ky., via Southern Pacific). It is proposed to 

 aclvajii-e the rati's to Evansville. lud.. via hotl> the Gulf Coast and Southern 

 Pacific from 28 to 29%, which is the present rate, via Santa Fe and 

 K. C. S. To Henderson, Ky.. it is proposed to advance the rate via Gulf 

 Coast from 27 to 29. and via the Southern Pacific a reduction from 31 to 

 29, and via Santa Fe and K. C. S. from 30 to 29. To Louisville and 

 Owensrtlle, Ky., it Is proposed to advance the rate via Gulf Coast and 

 Southern Pacific from 27 to 29, or 2c per 100 lbs., although the proposal 

 carries with it a reduction via the Santa Fe and K. C. S. from 33 Mi to 29, 

 thus making the rate uniform via all lines. To Jefferson and New Albany, 

 lud., it is iiroposed to advance the rate via Gulf Coast from 28 to 30, and 

 via Southern Pacific from 29 to 30. However, this proposal carries with it 

 a reduction via Santa Fe and K. C. S. from 33 Va to 30. To Cincinnati, 

 Ohio, it is proposed to advance the rate via Gulf Coast from 29 V4 to 311,4 

 and via Southern Pacific from 30 '^ to 31_y2, and a reduction via Santa Fe 

 and K. C. S. from 33% to 31 1/2. thus making the rate to Cincinnati uni- 

 formly 3iy2C via all lines. The proposal carries with it similar advances 

 and reductions from all paints in southwestern Louisiana and southeastern 

 Texas. No doubt this information wiirbe of value to the lumber companies 

 operating in the territory referred to, especially those operating along the 

 lines of the Santa Fe and K. C. S. 



LITTLE ROCK 



A 10.000-iicre tract ot timberlands, estimated to contain G. 000, 000 feet 

 of good hardwood timber, located near the town of Blevins, Ark., was last 

 week sold by Matthew Wilson of Canada to the Hoosier Veneer Company 

 (■f Indianapolis, Ind., for |;250.000. In consummating the deal the pur- 

 chasing company was represented by four of its officers and stockholders, 

 including its general manager, II. E. Daugherty ; its attorney, M. M. 

 Bachelor, and Edgar Ashland and Josef Gross. 



While at Blevins these representatives ot the company considered the 

 proposition of erecting a large milling and veneering plant, which will 

 probably be located in the town ot Blevins. It is also figuring on install- 

 ing three or four small .sawmills on the land to be used principally in 

 working up the lower grade material. It is estimated' that ten years will 

 lie required for cutting and removing the timber from the tract. The com- 

 pany ultimately plans to clear thi' land and sell it for agricultural purposes.
