 literature concerning an important commercial wood. 



The Loui.sville baseball club is right up at the top of the heap in 

 the American association, and friends of T. M. Bromi, who has a season 

 lease on Box 2.3 at L^clipse I'ark, are assiduously cultivating the favor 

 of that lumberman, who is in a position to provide choice vantage points 

 from which to view the victories of the conquering Colonels. 



EdwaVd S. Shippen of the Louisville Point Lumber Company has 

 been buying logs up the Big Sandy river, and has a supply on hand 

 suflieient to keep the Louisville mill operating for several months. 

 The company has some of the finest poplar logs ever brought out of the 

 Sandy valley, it is believed.

II. Biggar of the lumber department of the Western Electric Company 

 was in Louisville recently. 



State Forester .1. E. Barton is now putting in a nursery at Louis- 

 ville. It is to be located on the state fair grounds, and will contain 

 400.000 plants. Ten thousand seedlings will be ready for transplanting 

 in a S-ear, it is believed. Sturdy native varieties will be given first place 

 in the nursery.

A new hardwood lumber sawmill hjis recently been installed ou the Gus 

 Messiek place, just north of Mountain Home. Ark. This mill was trans- 

 ferred to Mountain Home from timbered district of southern Missouri, 

 just north of that place. 



The Arkansas-Indiana Lumbir Company of Clarksvilb'. Ark., is now 

 installing a basket factory in connection with its planing mill at that 

 place. Thr' company will be prepared within a few days to make any 

 kind of jjackagf for the shipment of peaches, berries, etc. The services of 

 a thoroughly competent man from Indiana have been secured to take 

 charge of the plant, 



Wcntwnrlh H. Hays, president of the Ozark Unrrel & Ilex Company of 

 Fayetteville. Ark., tiled a voluntary petition in ))ankruiptcy. giving his 

 assets at $7,000 and his liabilities at $7,809. 



On Apr. 30 a deal was consummated by Dean Adams of Memphis for the 

 sale of 20.000 acres of timbrrland in Crittenden and Cross counties. 

 Arkansas, to a Cleveland lumber company. The consideration named by 

 Mr. Adams was $2ri0.000. The property was owned by Little Hock and 

 Memphis capitalists, whose names were not made public by Mr. Adams. 

 The property is well located, lying on two ridges of ground which will 

 become rich farm land when the timber has been removed.' The Cleveland 

 concern will spend more than $100,000 this year in btiilding tram roads 

 from the main line of the Il'on Mountain, Rock Island and Cotton Belt 

 railroads to the timber district. Six big sawmills will l)e located on the 

 property, and a large lumber camp will be established in the central 

 portion of the limher tract. It is the company's intention to divide the 

 property into small truck farms for the purpose of colonization as fast as 

 the timber is removed. 



Mr. Fletcher of the Hardwood Lumber Company, Alton. 111., has been 

 in Arkansas for the past ten days buying stock for his concern.

Ground has been broken for a five-story brick-veneer addition to thi' 

 plant of the I*hoenix Chair Company at Sheboygan. The new addition 

 wifl be located east of llie present buildings. The dimensions will be 

 50 by 150 feet. The present buildings of the company consist of the main 

 building, .5" by 330 feet, having three I.'s 30 by 100 feet, and a ware- 

 house measuring 30 by IflS feet. All of these structures are live stories 

 high and of brick construction. About a year ago the company erected a 

 new drying house and a modern power house with new boilers and 

 engines. The I'hocnix Chair Company, which was organized In 1S75 with 

 a capital stock of ,'$50,000, has grown to be one of the largest in the 

 world. In ISSS the capital was increased to .^.lOO.OOO. Several hundred 

 men an' employed at the plant and the new addition will require an addi- 

 tional hundred hands. 



A bill which was introduced by Senator Tompkins of Ashland and has 

 been passed by the legislature has changed the system of tax assessment 

 on logs and other timl)er to be manufactured. The new law now provides 

 for the assessment of all logs not delivered by the first of May of each 

 year in the towns where they were cut. Heretofore the assessment was 

 made at the town where the mill was located which was to saw the logs, 

 no matter where the logs and timber were piled. Since the bill has 

 been passed officials and attorneys for cities which will be affected are 

 trying to kill the measnre, as it means thousands of dollars to them. 

 Marinette, Peshtigo. Oconto, VVansau and Tomahawk liad representatives 

 at Madison trying to obviate in some way the effect of the new law. 

 It has not yet been published, but that is all that Is required to give 

 it a place on the statute books. A new measure to repeal the law will 

 be introduced. If allowed to stand the law will mean a loss on the 

 tax rolls of the above mentioned cities amounting up to .$10,000. 



A scarcity of men in the northern luml)er camps is felt this spring by 

 lumber companies. The Foster-Latimer Company and the Mellon Lumber 

 Company, at Mellen, are in need of about filteen hundred men for the 

 operations. The big plant at rhlllips that has been shut down for a 

 number of years is to operate again, and the extensive operations of 

 the Edward Hines Lumber Company at Tark Falls will also require a 

 large number of men. The Hines company will also run to capacity on 

 the recently acquired Atwood interests. The Oconto and the Holt lumber 

 companies are running their mills day and night on full crews. The 

 additional activities and increased output by the various lumber com- 

 panies this year is responsible for the great labor demand. 



The Heineman Lumber Compan.v, at Merrill, is erecting its new plan- 

 ing mill to the new plant in that city. The framework is completed 

 and adds much to the appearance of the property. The planing mill Is 

 located north of the railway right-of-way and will be driven by electric 

 power geni'rnted at the main engine room.
