=-< BRISTOL y- 



The Whaley-Pced Lumber Company was organized in Bristol last week 

 by Irving Whaley, J. S. Ashworth and P. D. Peed. The latter is president. 

 .1. S. Ashworth is vice-president and Irving Whaley secretary-treasurer. 

 The company will operate in eastern Kentucky and Mr. Whaley will go 

 there to spend several months starting off the mills. 



The Paxton Lumber Company reports a good volume of business. The 

 company's mills are all running and the outlook for business is good. 

 It has mills in Bristol, North Caroliua and West Virginia. 



The railroads in this section report that traffic is very good at this 

 season of the year. The car service is largely satisfactory, despite the 

 big demand for transportation equipment. 



The R. E. Wood Lumber Company will soon start its new mill at 

 Earhart's, five miles south of Bristol, where it has purchased a good sized 

 boundary of hardwood timber. 



The H. P. Wyman Lumber Company Is operating in Lee county, Vir- 

 ginia, where a new mill has been installed to cut a tract of hardwood 

 timber recently acquired. 



The Pittsburgh Lumber Company is now operating on a large scale at 

 Hampton, Tenn., near where the company has a twelve year cut of hard- 

 wood timber. The mill at Hampton is cutting about 75,000 feet of stock 

 daily and is well supplied with logs. The stock is all sold from the 

 Pittsburgh offices. 



Irving Whaley left this week in his automobile, accompanied by his 

 family, for Chattanooga and other southern cities to spend a few days. 



H. M. Hoskins of the H. M. Hoskins Lumber Company has returned 

 from a trip in Virginia and reports the business outlook bright. Mr. 

 Hoskins is now cutting timber in Kentucky. 



J. A. Wilkinson returned this week from a long trip into Virginia and 

 West Virginia. As agent for several large concerns, Mr. Wilkinson is 

 buying a large amount of stock. He has offices in Bristol and a force of 

 inspectors on the road. 



=■< LOUISVILLE >= 



The Louisville & Nashville Railroad having filed a formal answer to the 

 recent complaint of local hardwood concerns against advances in rates 

 from points north of Decatur, Ala., to Louisville and other Ohio river 

 cities, the Interstate Commerce Commission is expected to announce a 

 date for hearing the case shortly. 



The mahogany situation is much quieter than it has been at any 

 previous time this year, and the manufacturers, though expecting a 

 resumption of the active demand earlier in the fall, are not being pushed 

 for stock now as they were a short time ago. An interesting feature of 

 the situation is that although quartered oak is in improved demand, and 

 prices are stiffening, mahogany manufacturers profess not to credit the 

 suggestion that the quiet condition of that wood is due to consumers hav- 

 ing turned from it, on account of its advanced prices, to oak. 



Edward S. Shippen, president of the Louisville Point Lumber Company, 

 recently returned from the Southwest, where he looked over timber and 

 sawmill conditions generally. The company is understood to be consider- 

 ing locating a mill in that section, but has made no definite arrange- 

 ments. 



The complaint filed by Maley & Wertz of Evansville, Ind., with the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission, in which the commission is asked to 

 require the road to institute more practicable methods of regulating 

 milling in transit, is of interest locally because the same rules apply 

 here as at Evansvillg. While some of the manufacturers are making 

 reports to the Southern Weighing & Inspection Bureau regularly and 

 getting their refunds without difficulty, others say that they are having 

 all kinds of trouble and that they would like to see the situation radi- 

 cally changed. 



Friends of W. P. Brown, the veteran hardwood man, who has now 

 retired from the rapidly growing business of the W. P. Brown & Sons 

 Lumber Company, noted with pleasure that his health is very much im- 

 proved compared with a few montlis ago. He was in Louisville recently 

 and looked hale and hearty, and visited several of his old friends in the 

 business. 



The state board of forestry has approved plans which have been made 

 by State Forester J. E. Barton for the establishment of a patrol system 

 in Eastern Kentucky for the protection of the woods from fire during the 

 dry season, and the appointment of wardens will now proceed. Mr. Barton 

 also has a plan in mind tor seciriug the co-operation of the boy scouts, 

 of whom there are several thousand in the state. He believes that if 

 they could be interested in protecting the forests much good would result. 



The Cloverport (Ky.) Boat & Machine Company will purchase machin- 

 ery for its woodworking department, an entirely new plant being planned 

 by General Manager William Pate. 



F- L. Clore & Son, of Henderson, Ky., who became financially embar- 

 rassed as the result of an effort to develop a timber proposition at 

 Fayette, -Via., have assigned for the benefit of their creditors to the Ohio
