THE COE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, PAINESVILLE, OHIO, U. S. A. 



(VontiitiK <1 Jf'jm i)a(jr SSi 



The colony has an area of about .57,000 square miles auil six- 

 sevenths of this is forest laud. Its total population, including whites, 

 colored people, blacks and Indians, can be estimated at 100,000, made 

 lip of lilinost every country in the world. There lire distinctive 

 features in the configuration of the land which suggests a classifica- 

 tion of separate divisions or belts. We first have a belt of coast 

 lands varying from ten to forty miles in depth, forming the present 

 ocean margin and extending inland to the ancient sea margin 

 marked by a series of rolling reefs of sand and shell. This coast 

 belt consists of alluvial clay deposits of remarkable fertility, and is 

 always, more or less, under the level of high tides, necessitating 

 the gi-eater portion being set off by surrounding dams as a protec- 

 tion from the river waters during spring tides and from the over- 

 flow of savannah waters at the back, 

 the concessions of 

 the Endracht Saw- 

 mi 1 1 i n g Company. 

 They comprise an 

 area of 10,000 hec- 

 tares of the best 

 mora forest to be 

 seen anywhere in the 

 Guianas and not far 

 from the city of 

 Paramaribo, the col- 

 ony 's capital, these 

 concessions can be 

 reached within five 

 hours from town, 

 passing through the 

 famous Saramacca 

 canal to Post Mit- 

 kijk on the Saramac- 

 ca river which short- 

 ens the distance from 

 Paramaribo to the 

 Saramacca by nearly 

 1.50 miles. 



The concessions 

 are a perfect net- 

 work of mora trees 

 of gigantic size and 

 ready for the woodcutter 's axe. 



To those who, perhaps, are not familiar with mora logs, it would 

 be interesting to state that this wood is rated first-class at Lloyds' 



and largely used for railway sleepers. The Endracht Sawmilling Com- 

 jiany is under contract with the Government of Dutch Guiana to deliver 

 annually 00,000 railway sleepers. Besides the manufacture of sleepers, 

 the wooil is useful for many purposes; the branches serve to make 

 excellent firewood and when used for burning into charcoal gives 

 exceptionally good results. lu fact, not a particle of the mora tree 

 goes to waste. 



The Endracht company has its milling plant on Saramacca street, 

 Paramaribo, the capital of the colony. This sawmill is equipped with 

 United States machinery of modern type and turns out excellent work. 

 On the concession which is operated by natives, a Lidgerwood road 

 engine is installed for the purpose of hauling the logs to the river 

 front where they are tied up into floats and sent down river to the 

 mill at Paramaribo to be worked into sleepers and other useful articles. 

 Mora has proved itself to be excellent for railway sleepers and other 



purposes too numer- 

 ous to mention; it 

 is equallv as tough 

 and will endure as 

 long as greenheart 

 when submerged or 

 exposed to atmos- 

 p h e r i c influences. 

 The present time, 

 therefore, would ap- 

 pear opportune to 

 make its value 

 known to the pub- 

 lic, and at same 

 time serve the pur- 

 pose of opening up 

 relations with firms 

 on the lookout for 

 suitable timber for 

 constructing p uj- 

 poses. Dutch Guiana 

 offers a splendid 

 field in its timber 

 resources. 



It is not neces- 

 sary to carry out 

 explorations to de- 

 termine and locate 

 what is here, for that has already been done in a satisfactory man- 

 ner, and the country 's timber resources are ready for market and 

 within reach of the best markets for that class of material.

Vincennes Furniture Company Plant Burned 



The plant of the Vincennes Furniture Company at Vincennes, 

 Ind., was destroyed by fire on April 1 3, the origin of the fire not 

 being determined. The loss of the company is estimated at $100,- 



000 and the loss is covered by insurance. When the firemen 

 arrived at the plant they found it was completely in flames and it 

 was impossible to save the factory. The firemen then turned their 

 attention to the plants of the Indiana Window Glass Company and 

 the Vincennes Bridge Company and these plants were saved.
