giving way under the heat, but only one death occurred, as far as noted. 

 It was generally regarded as a good thing that business was slack, so that 

 it was not necessary to rush the men through their work under the broil- 

 ing sun. 



Additional equipment will be installed in the factory of the Old Mis- 

 sion Furniture Company, which has increased its capital stock to $20,000. 

 C. Shaw is superintendent. 



E. B. Norman, vice-president of the Norman Lumber Company, read 

 an interesting paper before the Louisville Hardwood Club recently deal- 

 ing with sawmill operation. Mr. Norman took the ground that in order 

 to succeed, the modern opera'tor must study the requirements of his 

 customers, and make specialties as to widths and lengths which suit 

 them, rather than the staple dimensions. 



J. C. Colgan, superintendent of the Holly Ridge, La., mill of the 

 Norman Lumber Company, has recently been in Louisville, recovering 

 from severe attacks of malaria, which prevented his enjoying his vaca- 

 tion in New York. " 



Lumbermen report that their customers in the furniture trade have 

 experienced an unusually good selling season at the exhibitions. 



D. E. Kline of- the Louisville Veneer Mills stated that recent figures 

 published regarding the meeting of the Quartered Oak Veneer Associa- 

 tion at Indianapolis were somewhat misleading. Mr. Ivline presided 

 over the meeting. The figures quoted showed that the manufacturers 

 had on hand last Jauuary 2,235,000 feet of 1-20" veneers, and in June 

 4.235,000 feet. The discrepancy is explained, Mr. Kline said, by the 

 fact that the original figures were net, after stock sold had been deducted, 

 whereas the later figures were for total amounts on hand, regardless of 

 orders for future delivery. 



The Roberts & Conner Veneering Company, New Albany, Ind., has 

 purchased 800 acres of hardwood timber near Newport, Ark., and will 

 install a veneer and sawmill. It has purchased an eight-foot bandmill, 

 and is now in the market for n used CO" or 66" rotary machine and an 

 S' veneer saw. The construction of the plant will begin shortly, and 

 operations will be under way by October. The. tract includes oak, gum 

 and hickory.

President Smith of the Lumbermen's Exchange has sent out a letter 

 to the members, containing the following valuable information: 



A very important consideration is that the Frisco. Iron Mountain and 

 other Missouri railroads have prepared or are preparing tariffs estab- 

 lishing rates on lumber and ties on intrastate business in iMissourl as 

 prescribed by the 1U07 maximum freight rate law just upheld by the 

 Supreme Court. Members should keep in close touch with the secretary's 

 oflice so that every advantage may be gained in present and future de- 

 liveries. In many instances this means a marked reduction in actual 

 rates but the railroads are endeavoring to recoup by denying reconslgn- 

 ment privileges, the absorption of switching and transfer "charges, etc 



Thos. E. Powe, president of the Thos. E. I'owe Lumber Company, 

 left last week with his wife and little daughter for Waynesvillo, N. C. 

 He will remain with them but a short time and later in the season he 

 will go down and join them for a prolonged stay. 



The C. F. Liebke Hardwood Mill and Lumber Company received a big 

 shipment cf ash logs last wi-ek. The shipment came in by barge and con- 

 tained about 750,000 feet. The mills of the company, which have been 

 closed down for several days until a couple of weeks ago on account of 

 a part of the machinery breaking down, are now working to make up for 

 lost time. The working lime has been extended from nine to eleven hours 

 and the force has been added to. 



E. W. Blumer, sales manager of the Lothman Cypress Company, says 

 (hat while business is a little quiet it is satisfactory, as nothing very 

 brisk could be expected during such extremely hot weather. Mr. Blumer 

 will be at home for a short time and then start out on one of his selling 

 trips. 



The Garetson-Greason Lumber Company has been doing its usual good 

 business. The mills are working all right and turning out plenty of stock 

 and there is no trouble, W. W. Dings says, in disposing of it at a satis- 

 factory price. 



Secretary George McBlair of the Lumbermen's Exchange says that the 

 inspection of lumber is now nearly 500,000 feet a month, and is increas- 

 iug right along.

 compafly identifled with the Thos. E. Powe Lumber Company of St. 

 Louis, which has been opened at Hugo, Okla. It will be used as a re- 

 manufacturing and drying yard for the St. Louis company. Oak will be
