 lumbermen. A few months ago the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company 

 -larted a branch yard on that side of the river. .\ short time ago the 

 Siemmelen Lumber Company decided to operate a yard and leased a site 

 in New ,\lbany, removing Its oflice from the Keller building In this city 

 to the new location. The Churehill-.Mllton Lumber Company, recently 

 ..rganlzed, has followed suit by getting a yard In New Albany. It is still 

 nralning its Louisville office in the Lincoln building, but probably will 

 li.indle its office work at the yard In the near future.

I). E. Kline, head of the Louisville Veneer Mills, is being talked of in 

 ' iinection with the presidency of the Louisville Commercial Club, one of 

 ' [;e leading organizations of business men in the country. Mr. Kline is 

 now vice-president and chairman of the transportation committee of the 

 *'!ub, and in that capacity has done splendid work. Owing to the fact 

 tliat the commercial organization has lawyers, physicians. Insurance men 

 iiid others of that type for executives, few manufacturers having been 

 liosen, Mr. Kline appears to be particularly well fitted for the office. 



.V good deal of the present condition of business is attributed to the fact 

 that the railroads are not buying. By the same token, much of the com- 

 plaint regarding poor collections is attributed to the fact that the rail- 

 roads are not paying for what they have already bought. Many hard- 

 wood concerns have accounts eight and tin months old against the carriers.
