wood forest in McDowoU and Wyoming counties, W. Va. This mill has a 

 six-year out before it on this tract, according to R. L. Ellis, superintendent 

 of the C. L. Ritter Lumber Co. of Whitewood, Va., and the Ritter Hardwood 

 Immber Co. When the job has been completed the company will have con- 

 structed thirty miles of narrow gauge railroad, which Mr. Ellis believes 

 will be converted to standard gauge soon after the tract has been cut over. 

 Employers of the Ritter Hardwood Lumber Co. have been busy for the 

 past eighteen months putting this large plant in readiness, constructing 

 the mill, putting down live miles of narrow gauge railway. Two hundred 

 and fifty men are now at work getting out the timber for the mill. The 

 laeger plant is said to be larger than the one at Whiiewood. It has a ca- 

 pacity of 40,000 fet per day. 



New Hardwood Rates Go in March 13 to 15 

 The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association is in receipt of advices from 

 Washington that the new rates on hardwoo<l lumber will become effective 

 to destinations in Central Freight Association territory March 13-15 

 and to destinations in Eastern Trunk Line territory March 25. 



J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager, is authority for the statement 

 that the Interstate Commerce Commission had recently refused the car- 

 riers extension of the period for putting the new rates into effect and that 

 the delay that has occurred is due to the physical inability of the rail- 

 roads to issue the necessary tariffs. The new rates were to have become 

 effective March 6, according to the ruling of the commission. 



The association is preparing to issue a tariff sheet showing the new 

 rates from and to all important points and Mr. Townshend says that this 

 will be ready for distribtuion about March IS. 



May File Overcharge Claims Until September 



Shippers of hanhvuud luinhi-r have until Si'plt'inln'r 1, VJ2\1, to file 

 claims for over charges arising under Federal control of the railroads as 

 the result of the passage of the bill by Congress granting an extension 

 of the time limit therefor. 



They also have a year, from the date of the award of the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission, for the enforcement of the collection of such 

 awards in the case of claims for reparations originating prior to March 1, 

 1920, as a result of the passage of the same measure. 



The bill, however, did not extend the time for the collection of "loss 

 and damage" claims arising under Federal operation of the railroads and 

 these expire«l, by statute of limitations, Feb. 2S. 



The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, which urged passage of the 

 new law, is well pleased with the results obtained. It points out that the 

 bulk of the claims of members of this body is in overcharges and repara- 

 tions and that the amount Involved in "loss and damage" claims is com- 

 paratively small. 



Canadian Surcharge Three Per Cent 



The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association advises its members that 

 the surcharge on shipments of hardwood lumber and forest products to 

 Canada during the last half of February, 1922, amounted to 3 per cent. 



Baltimore Exports Moderate 

 Exports of lumber and logs from llaltiinore during January were of 

 proportions that must be considered fairly encouraging. To be sure, no 

 remarkable totals were attained, but the aggregate declared value of the 

 shipments compares quite well with those for most of the months last 

 year. In fact, it Is considerably in excess of the low months, and suggests 

 that the feeling on the other side is !)etter as to the future of the business. 



Charles A. Goodyear, Pioneer Lumberman, Dies 



Charh-s Adams (Joodyi'ar, a pioneer in the lunil>er industry, who for 

 years was identified with some of the largest interests in the Northern, 

 Southern, and the Pacific Coast producing sections, died February 12, at 

 his home in Pasadena, Cal. Funeral services were held in Chicago, 

 February IS, and burial was in Oakwoods. 



Charles Adams Coodyear was born in Brooklyn, N, Y., September 22, 

 1849. and when but a boy he moved with his parents to Portage, Wis. He 

 graduated from high school and for a time was engaged with his father, 

 I»arius Adams Goodyear, in rafting logs down the Wisconsin Kiver. In 

 1870 Mr. (Joodyear and his father entered into partnership under the 

 firm name of l>, A. & C. A. Goodyear with headquarters at Mather, Wis. 

 In 1SS3 the company erected one of the largest sawmills in the northwest 

 at Tomah, Wis., rebuilding it in 1909 and converting it into one of the 

 first electrically driven plants in the countiy. The plant later was moved 

 to Picayune, Miss. 



In thi' meantime, Mr. Goodyear had purchased the interests of his father, 

 and in January. 1906. the company was incorporated under the name of 

 llie C. A. (toodyear Lumber Co., of which C. A. Goodyear was president, 

 and Miles A. Goodyear, his son, secretary. Since that time, however, the 

 latter has succeeded his father as president of the company. In 191G the 

 Goodyear Lumber Co. of Wisconsin was transferred to the C. A. Good- 

 year Lumber Co.. of Delaware. Its activities are chiefly confined to large 

 timber holilings in the South and on the Pacific Coast. The company now 

 lias active operations in redwood timber in California, and fir and spruce 

 timber in the State of Washington. 



Mr. Goodyear is survived by his widow, Mrs. Henrietta Goodyear, two 

 daujihters and one son — Mrs. Belle (J. Hodges, of Pasadena, Cal., Mrs. 

 Lamont Kovvlands, of Boston, and Miles A. Goodyear, of Chicago, During 

 the past twelve years Mr. Goodyear had made his home on the Pnciflc 

 Coast.
