The M. 11. Siinigue Lumber Company. Waslibiuu, roceutly closed down 

 after a successful run of about seven million feet of timber. The deep 

 snow last winter hindered the company from getting enough logs out of the 

 woods and for a time surame|* logging was carried on. However, not 

 enough logs were brought to keep the mill running longer than up to 

 this time. 



The J. S. Stearns Lumber Company. Odanah, is making improvements 

 along the bank of the Bad river by building a dyke for the protection 

 nf the Indians whose property lies along that part of the river. The 

 high water in spring usually does considerable damage by washing away 

 land from the banks. 



Senator Isaac Stephenson, the prominent Marinette lumberman and 

 at present United States Senator, who went into the Wisconsin and 

 Michigan woods peuDiless. like many of the old lumber barons, and came 

 out rich beyond the wildest dreams, is writing his memories. Starting as 

 a cook in a lumber camp at SIS a month sixty-two years ago, Senator 

 St'^phenson, widely known as Uncle Ike. at over fourscore years, doesn't 

 know how nuich money he has now and brags about his ignorance. He 

 is always on the job in thf Senate. In Marinette ho owns a yacht, some 

 automobiles, a couple of lumber factories, several paper mills and other 

 plants and property in other sections of Wisconsin and northern Michigan. 



Despite the protest of lumber dealers and building contractors, the 

 common council committee on buildings and grounds killed the amend- 

 ment to the bunding code which would hold off the ban on wooden shingle 

 roofs outside of Mllwaukei's fire district for two years. Alderman Greene 

 championed the cause for the Milwaukee lumber dealers, who pointed out 

 that they had a large stock of shingles on hand and wnuld sulYer a great 

 loss if the ordinance would stand. The anu^ndnient would further make 

 the clause not applicable until a suitable substitute has been found for 

 wooden shingles, if the lumbermen would have been alert at the time 

 thi' building code ordinanie was up before the common council, the latter 

 argument would probably have had a good effect. Now that the ordinance 

 is in effect insurance men and -Chief Clancy of the fire department are 

 working hard to keep the law in its original form. One strong argument 

 against the use of wooden shingles is the fact that the fire underwriters 

 are already preparing a schedule of reduced rates on the strength of the 

 ordinance. The thousands of shiugle roofs in the city will undoubtedly 

 require a lafge quantity of shingles for patch work, which is allowable 

 by the ordinance.

The Hardwood Market 



< CHICAGO >■ 



The trade in Chicago is Imt a reflection of the trade generally through-' 

 out the country at present, although the Chicago marltet is probably in as 

 unsatisfactory a condition as is trade In any otlier big center. There has 

 bion considerable price cutting for some time in the local trade, which 

 condition seems to have continued. Concessions are noted on most of the 

 standard items of hardwood consumption, although there Is by no means 

 a panicky condition apparent. 



The most fuvorable line ol' consumption at present at Chicago seems 

 to be the box factories which are demanding a very good nnnntitv of 

 lumber. The furniture people continue to he in pretty good shape. Imt 

 while they are buying they are not placing the large orders that the 

 local trade would enjoy taking. 



The building situation has probably improved slightly, and with it there 

 is noted a fair condition in the Interior tinish business and a good trade 

 in flooring. 



Gum on the local market is not strong and does not seem to be picking 

 up notably. Oak is still in the load and is in about the same condition 

 as prevailed two weeks ago. The veneer and fancy wood markets are 

 satisfactory in Chicago. 



On the whole, the local marltct Is not over-cheerful aa to present condl-
