A jury in .Judge Ludwig's court in Milwaukee has decided that the 

 bunks in Camp 14 of Senator Isaac Stephenson's lumber company in Delta 

 county, Michigan, were rainproof, and held that It. W. Bird was not en- 

 titled to damages for rheumatism that he alleged he suffered as a result 

 of rain coming through the roof upon his bunk. It was held that what 

 Bird thought was rain was moisture collected on the ceiling of the cabin, 

 and found that he might have moved to another bunk. 



Due to the fact that lumbermen in northern Wisconsin are being de- 

 layed in their work of unloading cars, division officials of the Milwaukee 

 road at Green Bay fear a shortage of freight cars. While it was freely 

 predicted early in the season that logging operations would be greatly 

 hampered by the scarcity of snow, railroad reports show that more logs 

 have been handled up to the present time than during the entire season 

 of 1913. 



W. J. Kershaw of Milwaukee was given a hearing recently by the joint 

 cofigressional commission to investigate Indian affairs in Washington 

 on conditions in the Tioga Indian reservation in Wisconsin. Mr. 

 Kershaw told the commission that nearly half of the .$3,000,000 trust 

 fund on the Indians has been expended and that extravagance prevails 

 in the operation of the lumber mills of the reservation.

 and for many years conducted a lumber business at Rockland with his 

 brother Albert under the style of Behnke Bros., died at Sheboygan from 

 an attack of heart failure at the age of sixty-seven years. Mr. Behnke

The Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturer's Association was 

 represented by Secretary R. S. Kellogg at the recent hearing before Ex- 

 aminer Berry of the Interstate Commerce Commission at Minneapolis, 

 when evidence was taken in a case brought by lumber manufacturers 

 against railroads, charging discriminating and extortionate freight rates. 

 The case is based on a joint complaint made by the Northern Hemlock 

 and Hardwood Manufacturers' Association, the Northern Pine Manufac- 

 turers' Association and the Northwestern Cedarmen's Association. These 

 associations claim that the freight rates from the lake points to Missouri 

 Hiver points are discriminating and extortionate and urge that they be 

 ordered reduced. Under the rates in force, and which are protested 

 against, it is stated that practically no lumber has been shipped from the- 

 lake states to Omaha, Neb., and other Missouri River points for some' 

 time because the freight rates are prohibitive. 



The Kellogg Lumber Company of Antigo has formed an auxiliary organ- 

 ization, the Kellogg Supply Company, and has established offices at Wa-

 business in Wisconsin. The investment in this state is .?40,000. 



A hearing on the complaint of the Webber Manufacturing Company of 

 Superior against the Northwestern and Northern Pacific railroads, seeking 

 a reduction in the rate on logs from Van Buskirk and Carsons, Wis., to 

 Superior by way of .\shland, was held at Superior by Halfort Erickson 

 of the Wisconsin Hailroad Commission. The complainant seeks to have 

 a rate of ten cents cut to three or four cents per 100 pounds and other 

 rates reduced proportionately. It was brought out at the hearing that 

 logs from the stations involved in the complaint are being shipped south 

 a greater distance than to Superior, about 125 miles, at the rite sought 

 for this city, with the result that lumber and furniture are being made 

 elsewhere out of logs taken from natural territory of Superior, which 

 prohibitive rates make it impossible for local concerns to enter. Sheboy- 

 gan, Stevens Point and Grand Rapids were among the cities mentioned as 

 benefiting by the alleged discrimination. The two railroads have never 

 had a through rate, and, until the complaint was filed in this case, de- 

 clined to make one. An offer of a rate of about 5% cents, made to the-
