Memphis for a number of years. The firm, however, decided after the 

 fire here that It would be more expedient to re ostubllsh the mill at Bates- 

 ville than to bring the timber from that point to Memphis. The railroad 

 in question will likely be taken over by the Illinois Central system, with 

 which It makes connection at Batesvlllc. It was built by R. J. Darnell, 

 Inc., but the books are now being audited with a view to determining the

Proposed Mutual Casualty Company in New York 



Lumber interests In New York prominent in the National Wholesale 

 Lumber Dealers' Assoclatiou and also in the Lumber Underwriters, a Are 

 insurance organization specializing In lumber risks, are taking steps 

 toward the formation of a mutual casualty Insurance company. The new 

 compensation law becomes effective July 1 and as its provisions make It 

 compulsory for employers within the state to Insure themselves against 

 accidents to employes, a company formed and operated upon mutual lines 

 should prove of benefit. The law provides various forms of Insurance, 

 such as the state fund, mutual associations, mutual companies and cas- 

 ualty companies. The idea of those interested in the New York proposal 

 is to give lumbermen of the state the best and most equitable liability 

 insurance. A specializing mutual company will doubtless prove popular 

 in the lumber trade. All the men behind the proposition are lumbermen 

 with large experience in the insurance field. To many the question of 

 this kind of Insurance is entirely new, and for the purpose of discussing 

 it in all its phases a meeting will undoubtedly be called.

■Veneer Plant at Hancock, Mich. 



The Widner-Johnson Company of Alpena, Mich., has been seeking in- 

 formation concerning the location and prospects of a veneer plant in or 

 about Hancock. The main question raised by this company is regarding 

 the supply of bird's-eye maple logs. If the company's demands in this 

 particular could be met it would probably favor locating somewhere near

 the prospects are that Hancock will secure a new industry.
