•< EVANSVILLE >■ 



Lieutenant Clyde Martin, who recently was mustered out of the national 

 army, after receiving his commission at Camp Hancock, Oa., has taken the 

 old position with the J. C. Greer Lumber Company of this city, Lieutenant

 Mr. Greer visited Clarksville recently and reports the stavj! business Is 

 quite active at the present time. 



At the next monthly meeting of the Evansville Lumbermen's Club, which 

 will be held on Tuesday night, February 11, at the New Hotel McCurdy, 

 the question of reviving the order of Hoo-Hoo in this city will be taken 

 up and discussed. Charles A. Wolflin, manager of the Wolflin West Side 

 Lumber Company, received a letter a few days ago from E. D. Tennent, 

 secretary of Hoo-Hoo, in which he expressed the wish that the popular 

 order might be revived here. At one time there were many Hoo-Hoo here, 

 but many of the members dropped out of the order. Another thing that 

 will be brought up at the next meeting of the club will be the question 

 of holding some kind of an entertainment for the club members and their 

 friends in the near future. J. C. Greer is chairman of the entertainment 

 committee.

The R. Buttles Handle Company's factory at Greencastle, Ind., was 

 destroyed by fire a few days ago, the loss being about $5,000, with part 

 insurance. It is expected the plant will be rebuilt. 



Owing to the fact that local manufacturers are anxious to keep the 

 wages of their workmen up to the war standard it is not expected the 

 furniture manufacturers here will make any reduction in the prices of 

 furniture during the coming year. The manufacturers have raised the 

 wages of their workmen several times during the past year and they 

 desire to keep the wage up. There are a few unemployed men in the city 

 at the present time, according to W. B. Tieman, who is in charge of the 

 local United States employment bureau. But the number of unemployed 

 men is not as large as three or four weeks ago. 



The Brown Bros.' Lumber Company at Dale, Ind., is making several 

 Improvements around its plant and yards, and when the improvements 

 have been completed it will have a larger yard space.

 niture Company of this city, and Daniel Wertz of Maley & Wertz has been

 ing the past year was most satisfactory, according to Mr. Wemyss and he 

 is looking for a larger volume of trade during the present year. 



D. B. MacLaren of the D. B. MaoLaren Lumber Company, who returned 

 a few days ago from a business trip on the road, says the lumber busi- 

 ness is looking up right along and he is looking for a nice volume of trade 

 during the present year. 



A sawmill at Pekin, Ind.. belonging to Charles I. Hoyt and J. W. 

 Heistand was destroyed by fire a few days ago, the loss being in the neigh- 

 borhood of $25,000, with part insurance. In addition to the plant three 

 carloads of quarter-sawed white oak were consumed in the flames and five 

 other carloads of timber were damaged.

The action of Senator Morris Shopard in securing a survey of the upper 

 Neches river above Beaumont to the Angelina river will open up millions 

 of feet of first class hardwood stumpage, not available at the present time, 

 but will be the moment the river is cleaned out. The condition of the 

 bottoms is not suitable to tramways or logging teams, and the many snags 

 and dead heads which interfere with navigation has allowed this timber 

 to stand untouched. On account of its present inaccessihility for com- 

 mercial purposes no estimate is available on the amount, but it will run 

 into the millions of feet. Another great advantage is that the timber 

 along the upper Neches and Angelina rivers is of much better quality than 

 that found along the coast and will compare favorably with Tennessee 

 and Arkansas. The timber that can be reached when the river is cleared
