Some Log? Yes — and we 

 are bringing in this class of 

 Logs right along. A short 

 time ago we turned out 

 some clear Mahogany 

 boards 36 in. wide, and we 

 frequently cut Mexican Ma- 

 hogany Veneer 20 in. wide 

 on the quarter. 



Are you from Missouri? 

 Come to our yard and we

Also authority and power to open offices and headquarters and 

 employ such office help and incur such expenses for this asso- 

 ciation as in their judgment they may see fit. The legitimate 

 expenses of this committee to be borne by this association. 



The plan was submitted to the association in the even- 

 ing at the dinner served at the Auditorium hotel, and it 

 was the topic of several postprandial speeches. At the 

 general session next morning the plan of reorganization 

 was again taken up to the extent that members were 

 given an opportunity to sign the agreement, and ten signa- 

 tures vifere affixed. Others desired time to consult with 

 their boards of directors; but it appeared highly probable 

 that the requisite number of signatures would be secured 

 to put the plan in effect very soon. 



REPORTS AND ADDRESSES 



D. E. Kline, Louisville Veneer Mills, Louisville, Ky., 

 reported for the special traffic committee which had 

 charge of presenting the association's case before the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission, under Docket 8131, 

 in the matter of rates on and classification of lumber and 

 lumber products. The Interstate Commerce Commis- 

 sion complimented the veneer manufacturers upon the 

 clearness and conciseness with which their case was pre- 

 sented. Tlie committee was a little short of funds, and 

 the association was asked to make up a deficit of $800, 

 spent in preparing the case. 



A paper by Francis N. Woodman on "Uniform Costs 

 and the Reasons Why" was read by Secretary Young, 

 in the absence of Mr. Woodman.

 ing and Loading" received much favorable comment, 

 and may be found in full on another page of this issue
