CONSIDERABLE discussion resulted from 

 the statement appearing in one of our 

 recent advertisements that 



Timber is Cheaper Today 



Than it was 



Three Decades Ago. 



Timber is cheaper today because more prod- 

 ucts — and more profits — can be secured from its 

 manufacture. 



Your purchase of timber, sanctioned and ap- 

 proved by men possessed of the "Knowledge 

 Essential to Comparison," must inevitably yield 

 greater returns than have investments made in 

 other years. 



A tract of timber now aiTords employment for 

 more capital and more labor now than ever be- 

 fore and from such employment your profits arc 

 derived. 



Looking at timber investments in this light 

 you will find it incumbent on you to write 



Your copy of "Washington Red Cedar, America's 

 Overcoat Wood," Lumber User's Guide No. 12, awaits 

 your request. Send for it.

On ;iiipllcalion ul' aKcMueys inv llic S.iliiie Uivcr Railway Company, 

 the Pulaski Chancery Court, on .\prll 2, made permanent the injunction 

 against the members of the Itailroad Commission of -\rkansas, restrain- 

 ing them from enforcing the commission's order requiring the railway 

 company to continue train service iictween Draughon and Now Edin- 

 burgh, Ark. .V temporary restraining order was granted by tlie chancery 

 court some months ago, on application of the railway's attornoy.s, and the 

 same was made permanent on .\pril 2. This road was originally built 

 as a lumber or logging road, and since practically all of the valuable 

 timber along the line has been cut out, the owners do not care to longer 

 operate the road, as they claim it can only be operated at a loss. When 

 tbey undertook to remove the tracks some months ago, the citizens along 

 the road made protest and secured an injunction from the .Jefferson 

 chancery court. The Kailroad Commission also issued an order requiring 

 the railway company to operate regular trains over the road, as it bad 

 been doing, and to prote<.'t themselves against this order the injunction 

 was sought in the Tulaski chancery court. The members of the Itailroad 

 Commission of .\rkansas state that they propose to light this case to the 

 bitter end.
