All Three of Us Will Be Benefited if 



stock of lumber is prepared for shipment. The machinery and equipment , 

 of the sawmill is now being removed and will be re-ereoted elsewhere. 

 I'harles I. Wells, for many years manager of woods operations and super- 

 intendent of the Dunbar & Wausaukee railroad, has aci-i'pted the posi- 

 tion of general manager of the Forster-Mueller Lunilier Company at Hiles, 

 Wis. 



The Fountain-Campbell Lumber Company, Ladysmith, Wis., ia running 

 its mills at that point night and day in order to till urgent government 

 recjuirenients and other business. Most of the output consists of box and 

 crating lumber, the demand for box material being particularly heavy. 

 The production is being kept at the highest point iJossible under present 

 lOnditions of acute labor shortage. 



The N. Ludiugton Company, Marinette, Wis., recently snld a tract of 

 2,500 acres of hardwood timber, estimated to contain 17,000,000 feet, to 

 the Von Platen lAimber Company, Iron Mountain, Mich. The timber is 

 located near Pentago, Mich. 



The Northern Wood Products Company. Glidden, Wis., has broken 

 i^mund for a new handle and hardwood specialty manufacturing plant to 

 lepliK^'*-' the factory which was destroyed by tire about three months ago. 



The J. S. Stearns Luml>er Company, Odanah, Wis., sustained an esti- 

 mated loss of .flOO.OOO to $75,000 by fire, which destroyed tlie company 

 hotel, boarding house, some dwellings and other buildings. The mills were 

 saved. The village will be rebuilt immediately. 



The (iresham Milling Company. Gresham, Shawano county, Wis., has 

 been incorporated with a capital stock of .$25,000 to log and saw timber, 

 manufacture woodenware and building material, and operate a tlour and 

 feed milling plant. The incorporators are business men of (Jresham and 

 include Henry Hoffmann, Andrew Mader and Reinhold Kopelke. 



The Flambeau River Lumber Company, Ladysmith, Wis., is planning to 

 keep its sawmill in continuous operation through the winter months this 

 year to make up for a rather curtailed cut during the summer because low 

 water in the Flambeau greatly delayed its drive. Most of the input of 

 logs of the winter of 1917-1918 is included in the drive, which is expected 

 to reach tlie mill within a week's time. Ordinarily the drives arrive at the 

 mill before mid-summer. 



George H. P.auer, Janesvllle, Wis., with a crew of five men, is combing 

 Uock county for the purpose of taking out black walnut tinilier for urgent 

 government needs. Mr. Bauer is under contract with John A. Laska, 

 Chicago. He expects to collect from 700 to 800 logs from 8 to is feet long 

 and averaging 14 inches in diameter. 



Walter H. Schroeder, who resigned as sales manager of the Kieckhefer 

 l^ox Company. Milwaukee, to enlist in the military service last December, 

 has been commissioned a first lieutenant in the medical corps. Lieut. 

 Schroeder joined Base Hospital No. 22, a Milwaukee unit, as a private, and 

 when the command started for France in April he had reached the rank 

 of first sergeant. 



The Blackmarr Machine Company, Washburn, Wis., is preparing to 

 engage extensively in the manufacture of a steam power ma<bine designed 

 for house-moving, stump-pulling, land-clearing, logging, lumber piling, 

 etc. It is now building several large machines for contractors who are 

 relocating the village of Hlbbing. Minn., on a site three miles from the 

 original location. 



The David Tozer Company, Stillwater, Minn., has filed articles and a 

 statement to do business in Wisconsin, having contracted to recover sub- 

 merged and sunken logs from the St. Croix river in this state. It also 

 will do a general logging business. The capital stock is $50,000, of which 

 $25,000 is stated to be invested in Wisconsin. 



A. W. Ilighfield, president of the Webster Manufacturing Company, 

 Superior, Wis., was a member of a committee of three representatives of 

 the woodworking industry of northern Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota 

 wdio went to Washin^'ton to confer with federal authorities relative to 

 obtaining war work for such plants. Assurances have been received that 

 contracts will l)e assigned to the factories as rapidly as arrangements can 

 be made. Furniture and chair manufacturers are particularly interested 

 in the movement. 



Walter W. Schmidt, vice-president and general manager of the Combina- 

 tion Door Company. Fond du Lac, Wis., was among the many victims of 

 the epidemic of Spanish influenza raging throughout the country. Mr. 

 Schmidt passed away October 17, the malady having developed into pleuro- 

 pneumonia. He was thirty-two years of age. 



E. S. Barker, fuel administrator of Chippewa county. Wisconsin, has 

 placed an eml)argo on all shipments of cordwood, the idea being to con- 

 serve the available supply in this territory because of an acute shortage 

 of coal. Railroads have orders to refuse shipments and shippers have 

 been told that cordwood must be sold only to consumers within the county. 

 Dry maple is selling for $12 per cord at present. 



The Larson Luml)er Company. Jeffris, Wis., also known as Buudy, lost 

 between 3.000,000 and 4,000,000 feet of lumber when fire attacked its mill 

 yards and storage piles on October 12. The Wolf River and the Union 

 Wholesale Lumber companies also sustained a loss. 



The Rice Lake Lumber Company, Rice Lake, Wis., has been able to 

 continue operations in its big sawmill only with great difficulty during 

 the last few weeks, due to the fact that many of its men are being at- 

 tracted to other cities by high wages paid in munition plants. The log- 

 ging camps are still in operation, however.
