The McLean-Arkansas Lumber Company's new ?100,000 plant, located 

 Just east of Argenta, will be in operation by December 1. The office 

 force for the new plant is now on the job and is booking new business. 

 The plant will employ about seventy people when in full operation, and 

 will have a pay roll of about $1,000 per week. The new plant has a 

 capacity of 40,000 feet per day and is equipped with the latest and 

 most up-to-date machinery. Only native hardwoods will be used at the 

 plant and the company has purchased a supply of this that will last for 

 several years. 



R. G. Bruce of the E. L. Bruce Company, D. S. Watrous of the Little 

 Rock Lumber and Manufacturing Company, O. M. Krebs of the McLean- 

 Arkansas Lumber Company, and Ross Hackney of Brown & Hackney, 

 Inc., all local hardwood lumber manufacturers, recently conferred with 

 the membership committee of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association 

 in Memphis, with regard to the active affiliation of the Arkansas hard- 

 wood manufacturers with the association's traffic bureau. Considerable 

 complications and complexities have arisen in connection with the 

 Arkansas rates of late and there Is no organization in this state through 

 which these adjustments can properly be made. It is reported that 

 several of the hardwood manufacturers in eastern Arkansas have already 

 affiliated with the above named organization, and it is probable that the 

 Little Rock and Pine Bluff men engaged in this line will also affiliate. In 

 that event it is thought that a branch office will likely be established in 

 Little Rock. 



S. M. Samstag of Hot Springs recently purchased a 760-acre tract of 

 hardwood timberland near Moscow, The consideration is given out as 

 $26,000. Mr. Samstag, who was formerly in business at Pine Bluff, in 

 turn sold the tract of timber to W. S. Edler of Sheridan, who will erect 

 a mill and cut the timber for the market. 



Preparations are being made (or the erection of the large hardwood 

 lumber mill at Dierks, Ark. The company recently secured permission 

 from the town council of Dierks for the use of electric lights, sewerage 

 system and water connection. The surveyors are now busy with the pre- 

 liminary work and It is expected that the other work will follow quickly. 

 About one year Is the estimated time needed to get the large plant ready 

 for operation. When completed it will employ about 500 men, and will 

 be one of the biggest plants of the kind In the South. 



The Warren Stave Company is now constructing a new hardwood lum- 

 ber mill in connection with its plant at Warren. 



=■< WISCONSIN >- 



The John Schroeder Lumber Company has closed its sawmill at Ashland, 

 Wis., because of Ice In the mill pond. About 100 men are out of employ- 

 ment. The planing mill will be continued. The company will operate

A crew of ten expert hewers from British Columbia are at work at

 feet. 



The Brooks & Ross Lumber Company cut about 28,000,000 feet of 

 lumber during the past season at Schofleld, Wis., where the sawmill has 

 Just been closed down. Repairs are now under way and the mill will

 largest in the history of the mill, totaling more than 10,000,000 feet. 

 Most of this was hardwood. The mill operated for eleven months, and 

 will probably resume operating again the first of the new year.
