 point. 



Ricliard P. Baer of Richard P. Baer & Co., 

 Baltimore, was also a visitor wanting a supply 

 of Cottonwood and cypress. 



E. J. Marsh, secretary of the Sea Coast Lum- 

 ber Company. New York city, while in the city 

 last week bought a large block of cypress lum- 

 ber. This stock will be shipped by water to 

 New York. 



The firm of Adam & Steinbriigge are com- 

 paratiTely newcomers in the hardwood trade 

 here, having started in business in January, 

 1904. They are exporters of both lumber and 

 logs, which go to all the principal ports of 

 Europe. They are this week sending a small 

 cargo of bridge timbers to Central America. 



The local representatives of Hubert Durse- 

 len. Antwerp, Belgium, are Ferdinand EVurselen 

 and Charles S. Elens. These gentlemen are 

 busy these days securing a sufficient stock to 

 All the orders received from the different 

 branches of the firm in Europe. 



Eusse & Burgess, the hardwood exporters of 

 Memphis, are shipping some nice lots of plain 

 white oak through this port. Their local rep- 

 resentative J. M. Saunders does not complain 

 of dull business. 



All the ' exporters with offices at this point 

 have their lumber billed locally to New Or- 

 leans and not on a through bill of lading. This 

 enables them to get a check on the shipment 

 here and does away almost entirely with claims 

 of shortage in piece count from the other side 

 which very frequently occurs in cars shipped on 

 through bill of lading. 



Memphis. 



The streams over West Tennessee like the 

 Wolf river that runs about Memphis, the Big 

 Hatchie, the Forked Deer and Obion, are all up 

 now, and numerous craft, many of them per- 

 taining to lumber and woodworking interests, 

 are coining down. Mills situated along water 

 courses have their entire crews in many instances 

 looking after this navigation department at a 

 particular season like this. A few more buyers 

 are coming into the market and there are a 

 few more inquiries for lumber as the weather 

 improves. 



W. H. Stark of James E. Stark & Co. is in 

 the north, representing the lumber sales de- 

 partment of his firm. 



The Anderson & Tally Company of this city, 

 and which is one of the largest woodworking 

 establishments in the South, operating lumber, 

 veneer, box and crate, barrel hoop factories at 

 Memphis and other points, has acquired the

 formerly operated by the Troeudle & Sharp 

 CompLn,y. 



Robert Cooper, president of the Cochran Lum- 

 ber Company, is considering the establishment 

 of a hardwood mill at some point in Arkansas 

 during the present year. 



J. N. Penrod, Kansas City ; J. W. Thompson, 

 Memphis, and Frank Abbott are on a trip to 

 Alabama looking after a hardwood mill there 

 in which they are mutually interested.

 spending some time at the Memphis office of 

 his firm.

The Charles Pease Lumber Company of Cotta,

 Little River county. Ark., has been incorporated 

 with a capital stock o£ $30,000, of which $16,- 

 500 has been subscribed. J. W. Willis is presi- 

 dent ; J. M. Logsdon, secretary. 



S. C. Burgess of Moberly, Mo., president of 



the Moberly Portrait Company, was in Mem- 



phis recently, lookiug for a location for a fac- 

 tory here f..r the manufacture of picture frames. 

 He says all the wood used in these frames 

 comes from the South and passes through Mem- 

 phis. He thinks, as a consequence, that this 

 city is a better location for the picture frame 

 plant, because offering a considerable saving 

 in the matter of freight. 



A. B. Xickey, of A. B. Nickey & Sons of 

 Princeton. Ind., has purchased a tract of 4,000 

 acres of timber land in North Mississippi which 

 will be cut and brought to Memphis. The firm 

 has also bought a site in North Memphis, on 

 which a plant will be erected for the manu- 

 facture of this timber into lumber. The mill 

 will be in readiness for operation in the spring. 

 The Chickasaw Cooperage Company is in- 

 stalling a large sawmill and heading "plant at 

 McGhee, Ark., where the company some time 

 ago purchased a large tract of timber land. 

 The company manufactures tight cooperage 

 stock, with headquarters in Memphis. 



E. Sondheimer Company of Chicago has an- 

 nounced its intention of building a sawmill 

 on the tract of timber land purchased last 

 fall between Humphrey and Lonoke, Ark. It 

 is stated here that the plant to be installed 

 there will be removed from some point in Mi.s- 

 souri where the timber supply has been largely 

 exhausted. 



The S. C. Alajor Lumber Company, which was 

 recently organized here to engage in the whole- 

 sale lumber business, is opening a yard in 

 North Memphis. The offices are in the Ran- 

 dolph building. The company will handle the 

 output of two mills, one located at Yazoo City, 

 Miss., and the other at Atherton, La.

 tion in Philadelphia March 1 and 2, as repre- 

 sentatives of the lumberman of this city. 



The committee appointed by the Lumbermen's 

 Club, E. E. Taenzer and George D. Burgess, 

 have been called to attend another meeting be- 

 tween the representatives of the business bodies 

 of this city and the senators and representa- 

 tives from Shelby county, held for taking some 

 action on the two freight bills which were in- 

 troduced into the legislature by the Memphis 

 Freight Bureau. They have for their purpose 

 the alleviation of certain conditions now bear- 

 ing rather heavily upon shippers, especially 

 those dealing with delayage, demurrage, prompt 

 settlement of claims, etc. The bills were re- 

 ported for rejection by the senate committee, 

 but the lumbermen and other interests here 

 have not lost faith in the passage of the two 

 measures. 



Clarence Hurt and Tom Warrent, two em- 

 ployes of the Interstate Cooperage Company, 

 were badly hurt last evening by the bursting 

 of a flywheel, which, in addition to inflicting 

 injuries upon these two men, partially wrecked 

 the building. 



Five hundred thousand feet of lumber be- 

 longing to the Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Com- 

 pany has been loaded from a sunken barge onto 

 two barges towed by the steamer L. E. Patton. 

 The cargo, which was taken on at Burks Land- 

 ing, about 130 miles below Memphis, will be 

 carried to Cairo. 



The Mississippi river, owing to the warmer 

 weather, is now in navigable shape, thus fur- 

 nishing much relief to Shippers of and receivers 

 of lumber and other freight.
