Tonn., and will also dovote attintloa to tlie general lumbir trade. 



The Greonevllle Chair Company, Greeneville, Tonn.. which has been In 

 the hands of a receiver for some time, has been sold by order of the court 

 to Mr. Lutz of Lenoir. N. C, for $.35,000. This will pay about twenty- 

 flve cents on the dollar to creditors. The company operated a large plant, 

 and Mr. Lutz. who has had experience in the business, announces his 

 intention of reorganizing the company and resuming business at an early 

 date. The plant emplo.ved about 400 men. 



Nashville commercial bodies have started a movement to consolidate. 

 Ofllcers and directors of more than a dozen associations met December 4 

 and endor.'.ed the plan. E. M. B'oster, president of the Board of Trade, 

 presided, and E. S. Shannon was secretary. Many prominent men spoke 

 in favor of the movement, including Chas. M. Morford, president, and 

 Hamilton Love, former president of the Commercial Club. It is probable 

 that the Nashville Association of Commerce will be formed, with a mem- 

 bership of 3,000 or 4.000. similar to the plan now In vogue In Chicago. 

 The Lumbennen's Club and other associations will be subordinate depart- 

 ments and will have their officers and organizations. The Board of Trade. 

 Commercial Club and Business Men's Association will probably be 

 absorbed. It has been recognized for several years that greater work 

 could be accomplished for the city by united effort. The presidents of the 

 various organizations were appointed a committee to perfect plans for 

 consolidation. 



The Cumberland River Improvement Association held its annua! meet- 

 ing and re-elected W. E. Myer. Carthage, Tenn., president, and E. S. 

 Shannon, Nashville, secretary. The association is composed of men pro- 

 moting the work of improving the Cumberland, and the outlook was 

 reported bright to secure the completion of the project so as to give 

 navigable water all the year round from Nashville to the Ohio river and 

 also for several hundred miles above Nashville. It is believed the com- 

 pletion of this work will be a greater advantage to the city in the matter 

 of securing transportation rates than a new trunk line railroad.

Recent forest tires in eastern Kentucky have caused so much damage, 

 in spite of the fact that they were vigorously fought by the county fire 

 wardens appointed by the state forestry department, that J. E. Barton, 

 state forester, has written to all of the railroads in the state calling their 

 attention to the law requiring them to use spark arresters and pointing 

 out their liability for damages in case they cause the destruction of timber 

 by fire. 



The Louisville Hardwood Club is preparing for an active season's work.

 system, adoption of a workmen's compensation law and the extension of

Rapid progress is being made in completing the new plants of the 

 Wood Mosaic Company, which is rebuilding a sawmill at Highland Park, 

 a Louisville suburb, and a veneer mill, sawmill and flooring plant in New 

 Albany. Ind. The local mill will have a capacity of 35.000 feet a day, 

 while that in New Albany will cut 20,000 feet a day. The veneer saws 

 will turn out 25.000 feet a day and the flooring factory 40,000 feet a day. 



The complaint of the North Vernon Lumber Company, which has a 

 sawmill in Louisville, was heard here last week by a representative of 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission. The complaint was that the rate 

 from Dyersburg. Tenn.. where the company has a mill, to North 

 Vernon, Ind., where the headquarters of the company are located, is 

 greater than from Dyersburg to Cincinnati, though the haul is much 

 shorter. The Illinois Central and the Baltimore & Ohio are the defend- 

 ants in the complaint. 



Hines & Norman, a Louisville legal firm which has handled a number 

 nt lumber traffic cases, appeared in the complaint of the Commercial 

 ilub of Metropolis. 111., against the Illinois Central and other roads before 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission recently. The chief question in- 

 volved is rates on lumber from the South to Metropolis. 



The Broadhead-Garrett Lumber Company of Winchester, Ky., has pur- 

 chased a tract of timberland in Perry county, and will erect a large mill 

 on the property, which is only a short distance from Hazard, on the 

 Lexington & Eastern.
