 elected officers will also be installed. 



Poplar lumber that was valued at ?1,000 in the yards of F. M. Cut- 

 singer here was destroyed by fire a few days ago, the loss being fully 

 covered by insurance. The Are started from a lighted match thrown in 

 the dry grass near the lumber yards. 



The Moeller Cooperage Company at Mt. Vernon, Ind., is running its 

 plant night and day in order to fill the orders from three large flour 

 mills and the hominy mill at Mt. Vernon. The company has tried to get 

 coopers from other cities to come and assist in the work but without 

 success. Most of the cooperage plants in Evansville are also enjoying 

 a good run now, owing to the demand for flour barrels. 



The stave mills and handle factories along Green, Barren and Pond 

 rivers in western Kentucky have been running on pretty good time 

 during the past month. The sawmills along those rivers have also been 

 busy and things look better in that section now than they have for some 

 time past. 



A report from Earlington, Ky., several miles below this city on the 

 Louisville and Nashville railroad, a few days ago stated that the forest 

 fire that had been raging in the vicinity of Manning, Ky., for over a 

 week, has at last been extinguished. The flame-swept area extended 

 almost to Nortonville, Ky., and it is estimated that the loss will reach 

 several thousand dollars. The fire originated from a pile of ties that 

 section men set on fire.

The Idaville Land Company, Tipton, Tenn., has sold 5.018 acres of 

 hardwood timberlands in East Carroll parish. La., to O. T. Woodward. 

 Memphis, and following close on the heels of this transaction has come 

 the filing of application for a charter under the laws of Tennessee by 

 the Tensas Land & Lumber Company, with capital stock of $25,000. 

 O. T. Woodward, the purchaser of the timberlands in question, is one 

 of the incorporators and associated with him are the following : T. T. 

 Rebori, C. L. Smith, A. R. Woodward and J. V. Bruegge. Headquarters 

 will be maintained at Memphis. 



The Chickasaw Cooperage Company, Memphis, has already begun the 

 rebuilding of its big barrel factory which was destroyed by fire some 

 days ago, with a loss of more than $300,000. The new structure will be 

 of brick, and it is estimated that fully three months will be required for 

 the building thereof. Orders for the machinery have been placed and 

 the company hopes to have its new plant in operation within three or 

 four months. 



The Churchill-Milton Lumber Company. Louisville. Ky.. which spent 

 some time inspecting various locations in the South for a hardwood 

 mill, has selected Greenwood, Miss. The building of the plant, it is 

 announced, will be begun shortly and it will be rushed to completion 

 with all possible dispatch. Greenwood was chosen because of the large 

 supply of the kind of timber desired close to that point. 



The Lamb-Fish Lumber Company is preparing another large shipment 

 of ties to the French government, the second for this month and the 

 third in the series. The order on which the company is working is under- 

 stood to be a very large one and shipments will be made from time to 

 time until it has been wholly filled. 



The Mossman Lumber Company has recently purchased two sections 

 of hardwood timberlands in Mississippi county, Arkansas, but it has 

 not yet been decided whether the logs will be cut and shipped to the 

 mill of the company in this city or whether they will be disposed of In 

 some other manner. This company recently held its annual meeting in 

 Memphis and the following oflicers were elected : W. E. Mossman, Fort 

 Wayne, Ind.. president ; W. C. Douglass, Memphis, vice-president ; F. C. 

 Storton, Memphis, secretary ; F. G. Smith. Memphis, treasurer and man- 

 ager, and A. C. Wilkinson, Huntington, Ind., and J. J. Rankin, Hender- 

 son, Ky., directors. 



The Bellgrade Lumber Company, Memphis, has definitely decided upon 

 Louise, Miss., as the location for its new mill for the development of the 

 timber on a tract of 7,500 acres recently acquired in Mississippi. After 

 this timber was purchased it was announced that the new mill would be 

 located at either Louise or Midnight, but orders have already been given 

 for switch connections with the main line of the Tazoo & Mississippi 

 Valley road at Louise. The company some time ago purchased a mill 

 at Zwolle, La., and this will be removed to the location decided upon. It 

 will have a daily capacity of 40,000 to 50,000 feet per day. The build- 

 ing of this new plant will not affect the operations of the company at 

 Isola, Miss.
