the excess cars. The free . time for unloadiug 

 is forty-eight hours from 7 a. m. of the morn- 

 ing following tho day on which written notice 

 is given the consignee that the car is on the 

 track. The bill also provides that the railroad 

 companies shall furnish cars within four days 

 after application for same is made, also that 

 freight must move at the rate of fifty miles per 

 day. The penalty for failing to comply with 

 any of the above provisions of the bill is $1 a 

 car a day. A bill of similar nature has been 

 introduced in the Arkansas legislature, but the 

 writer is not informed whether or not it has 

 been passed. 



The above mentioned legislation in Missouri. 

 Kansas and Oklahoma was the direct result of 

 the effort of the Southwestern Lumbermen's As- 

 sociation. The bill was drafted by capable at- 

 torneys at the expense of the association. It 

 was unanimously indorsed at the January scon- 

 vention at Kansas City, and three conunittees 

 of two each were appointed by the president, 

 from the directory of the association, to make 

 it their special business to look after these bills. 

 Then all members were requested to write their 

 representatives in the legislatures to support 

 the demurrage bill. They did so. and although 

 the railroad companies made a strong fight to 

 defeat the bill, it was passed by safe majorities 

 in all three legislatures. 



It is reported from Chicago that the head- 

 quarters of the American Walnut Company will 

 be removed from that place to Kansas City 

 April 1. J. N. Penrod. president of this com- 

 pany, is a resident of Kansas City and has ex- 

 tensive interests here. 



The Dierks Lumber and Coal Company report 

 a satisfactory improvement in the demand for 

 bridge stock since the first of the month. They 

 are also exporting considerable lumber to Eng- 

 land. Germany and Holland. 



J. H. Tschudy left here with a party of friends 

 on March 21 for a ten-day trip of business and 

 pleasure combined to Arizona. 



C. D. Logan of the Gulf Land and Lumber 

 Company has returned from a week's trip to 

 the mills of the company at Leesville. La. Mr. 

 Logan states that they are installing a new 

 band in place of the circular in their hardwood 

 mill and will be running within two or three 

 weeks. The improvement will increase the ca- 

 pacity of the mill to some extent. 



A. H. Connelly is still in Arkansas and Ten- 

 nessee among the hardwood mills and will prob- 

 ably be away through the balance of the month.

New Orleans. 



The Illinois Central Railroad rebuilt 600 feet 

 of dock front within a week after its big fire. 

 This gives it some 1.600 feet of wharf front at 

 present, and it is taking care of all its export 

 business now without trouble. The rebuilding 

 of the Stuyvesant docks will call for immense 

 quantities of yellow pine. 



The .lefferson Sawmill Company, Ltd.. is 

 loading a schooner with cypress in front of its 

 mill, and Sutherland-Innes Company, Ltd., is 

 also loading one on the city front. These car- 

 goes go to Xew York city. 



J. B. 'Wall of the Buffalo Hardwood Lumber 

 Company, Buffalo, N. Y., accompanied by Mrs. 

 Wall, spent several days in the city during the 

 carnival season. 



L. Meth'jdy of St. Louis was another car- 

 nival visitor. His extensive export business 

 goes very largely through this port. 



The local dealers are all busy with their ex- 

 port shipments and look forward to a large and 

 profitable business. 



A trip through the Yazoo delta shows small 

 stocks at the mills, especially in oak. 



The John O'Brien Land and Lumber Com- 

 pany at Phillips. Miss . has a good sawmill plant 

 and manufactures fine stock. Like a majority 

 .if the mills in the delta, its dry stock is very 

 small, but it has a >ig supply of fine oak timber 

 to draw on. 



The report that sanitary equipments and 

 roughing materials for use in the Panama canal 

 were all required to be delivered in New York 

 sent up a howl of dissatisfaction here. It was 

 a mistake. The purchasing bureau has placed 

 New Orleans on an equal footing with New 

 York, so Purchasing Agent Lupton in charge of 

 the canal commission's local bureau here is now 

 feeling in better spirits. Bids will soon be asked 

 for on large quantities of materials and sup- 

 plies for the engineering department. The 

 steamship Ellis sailed a few days ago with a 

 large quantity of creosoted piling and other sup- 

 plies for use on the canal. 



The American Hardwood Lumber Company of 

 this city is unloading two bai-ges of mixed hard- 

 woods. 



Greenwood, Miss., is to have another sawmill. 

 J. F. Menees of Tennessee is building one and 

 hopes to be sawing by April 1. He is going to 

 make a specialty of quarter sawed oak.

The high tide in the Kentucky. Big Sandy, 

 Licking and Eed rivers is subsiding. Practically 

 all of the loose logs have run out and the 

 booms along the rivers are filled. The various 

 small creeks which have been holding up timber 

 for the past two years are filling up and let- 

 ting out immense quantities of logs. The High 

 Bridge Lumber Company has boomed 40,000 

 logs. The Kentucky River Lumber Company 

 30,000. Burt & Brabb Lumber Company 80,000, 

 and the Salt Lick and Licking River companies 

 about 25,000 logs each. More than 100.000 

 staves have run out and rafts aggregating 350,- 

 000 logs. All of this is hardwood timber. The 

 tide has been the biggest in ten years and has 

 given the sturdy timberman of that section, a 

 good supply of money. Mills along these rivers 

 are working overtime. 



Charles Garrison and four companions had a 

 harrowing experience while delivering a raft of 

 logs at the market in Warren county. Ken- 

 tucky, last week. The tide was rising at a 

 rapid rate and when near Eagans' Ford, the 

 raft began breaking. Garrison and his com- 

 panions succeeded in landing on a small island, 

 just large enough for them to stand on. This 

 was about noon. The water rose rapidly and 

 when they were finally rescued at 6 o'clock in 

 the evening the water had risen to their waists. 



On Elkhorn creek, in Morgan county, there is 

 a jam of logs six miles long and about fifteen 

 iogs deep. All efforts to dislodge them have 

 failed. 



A deal involving 10,000 acres of ccal and 

 hardwood timber land valued at $100,000 which 

 had been in progress in Breathitt county for 

 the past six months, has been declared off by the 

 eastern capitalists who were the prospective pur- 

 chasers, on account of the belligerent propensi- 

 ties of the inhabitants of Breathitt county. 

 The Hargis trouble was mentioned as a specific 

 reason for declining to purchase any property 

 in Breathitt county. 



J. W. Uambrick, who, with his father J. P. 

 Hambrick, has extensive lumber interests in 

 eastern Kentucky, is preparing to enter the busi- 

 ness of manufacturing automobiles. He is nego- 

 tiating for a site for the factory in Lexington. 



C. H. Callahan, a Louisville lumber dealer and 

 secretary of the Lumbermen's Club, has tiled a 

 deed in bankruptcy in the United States dis- 

 trict court in this city. His liabilities aggregate 

 about $7,000 and his assets about $6,000. His 

 father and brother are his chief creditors. 



The Sherrill Lumber Company of Paducah has 

 a souvenir in the shape of a forged check for 

 $427 given them by a man named James Butler 

 who bought a bill of goods aggregating $273 and 

 received in return $152 in cash. The name of 

 W. L. Crumbaugh was signed to the check and 

 payment was refused. Judge Crumbaugh is a 

 prominent citizen of Evansville. Butler was 

 later arrested
