In (be case concerning the alleged defrauding of the Advance-Itumely 

 Company, of Laportc, manufacturers of threshlns and other machinery, of 

 approximately IjiS.'iO.OOO. I). Douglas Sinclair, a wealthy lumber dealer of 

 i;rand Uapiils, Mieb.. was found not guilty of embezzlement and larceny 

 by a jury in the Porter. Ind.. circuit court, at Valparaiso. April :!2. In 

 the cause of the trial, invok<'s for tliirty-fivc shipments of lumber made 

 by Sinclair to the Rumely Company were introduced by the state, in which 

 it was allegetl the invoices had been changed. The stati' also contended 

 that Kdward Mack, now dead, and who was formerly purchasing agent 

 for the Uuiiiely Company, bought lumber from Sinclair, raised invoices. 

 and divided profits with Sinclair. The trial had been brought to Valparaiso 

 on a <liange of venue from I.aporte county, and the jury decided the testi-

Practical training in forestry was obtaiiie<l at tin- state forest reserve 

 near Ilenryville last week by twelve students of the Purdue School of 

 Porestry. headed by Prof. Burr N. Prentice, of the university faculty. The- 

 students were instructed in held forestry by Charles C. Ueara, forester 

 under llie state departmenl of conservation. During the week the students 

 planted several miUi(m seeds in beds, in soil which they had previously 

 treated with formaldehyde to prevent "damping off" of seedlings from 

 bacterial disease ; 50,000 white pine seedlings were also planted, and 

 enough mature trees were calipered to fill and order for 5.O00 railroad 

 ties. In addition several tracts were also caliiJered to determine the annual 

 growth on several experimental plots. It is said that Forester Deam is 

 conducting the largest exiieriment in growing hardwoods ever attempted 

 ill Ibe T'nited States. There are about 2,000 acres of land in the reserve. 



EVANSVILLE 



The carpenters and brickla.i'ers of Kvansville after being out for about 

 two weeks have returned to work and have agreed to submit their wage- 

 dispute with the contractors to a board of arbitration and this board is 

 expected to be appointed in a short time and will get down to business. 

 On the first of April the Evansville contractors announced that they would 

 cut the wages of all building trades L'O percent and most of the building 

 trades went out on a strike as a result of this announcement. The painters 

 refused to accept the cut and as a result the contractors went on the open 

 shop basis. The sheet melal workers also refused the cut in wages and tin 

 contractors say they probably will go on the open shop basis in a short 

 time. As matters now stand the contractors have made all the settlement 

 with the building trades that they intend to make this year and it looks like 

 most of the contractors will declare for the "American" or "open shop" 

 Iilau. With the wage adjustment made it is expected that the month of 

 May will see a revival in building oi>erations in Evansville and many other 

 towns in southern Indiana. Little large construction Wfirk in this city is 

 now under wa.v. but a great deal has been planned for the summer and 

 fall months. Many towns in this .section have a large building program. 



1>. 1!. MaeLaren, formerly engaged in the retail lumber business in this 

 city, now located at Indianapolis, was in Kvansville a few days ago calling 

 on the local trade. Mr. -MaeLaren formerly was president of the Evansville 

 Liimln'rmen's Club. 



'I"lie Reel-Ulue Lumber Company at Petersburg. Ind.. a few miles north of 

 i:vansvllle, has started work on its new lumber plant that will be 50 by 100 

 feet. The company also will build a new switch from its plant to the Pig 

 Pour railroad, a short distance away. 



Owners of planing mills and lumber vanls at .\uder.son, Ind., announced 

 a few days ago that they had decided upon a 10 percent reduction in the 

 wag(^ of their men. Foremen in the plants were reduced from 75 to 65 

 cents an hour and other employes were reduced from 05 to 55 cents. 



It is expected that the logging camiis along Green and P.arren rivers in 

 western Kentucky will show increased activities before long. Few logs 

 have been .gotten out along these rivers during the past two or three- 

 months for the rca.son that the saw mills in Evansville have not been run- 

 ning on steady time and have not been in the market for any logs to speak 

 of. The Oreen river country still has a valuable timlx^r supply and most 

 of the logs cut in that section are rafted here and use<l by the local mills. 



The plant of the Grayville Mill and Lumber Company at Grayville, III.. 

 a few miles west of here, after being closed down tor several weeks, has 

 resumed operations again. Tlie company has been getting a good many 

 loRS of late from a timber tract recently purchased near Cowling, 111., the
