order to erect an adequate structure, which will be three stories high, 65 

 by 100 feet in size, and equipped for thorough training in various trades. 



The Stange Lumber Company of Merrill, has applied to the Wisconsin 

 State Board of Land Commissioners for permission to construct a new rail- 

 road line between Merrill and Star Lake, in Vilas county, a distance of 

 more than 100 miles, reaching a new and undeveloped section. The road 

 will be used principally to haul logs from its timber holdings in the vicinity 

 of Star Lake to Merrill and other points. These holdings are estimated 

 to hold a supply for twenty years of logging operations. 



The Stougbton Wagon Company at Stoughton, which has been operating 

 on a minimum scale for many months due to the construction of demand, 

 largely owing to agricultural depression, has been able to resume produc- 

 tion at a moderate scale by a resumption of orders and is employing 150 

 men, equivalent to the pre-war force. Orders are on the books for more 

 than twenty-five carloads of wagons, fifteen carloads of motor truck bodies, 

 some sleighs, and also manure spreaders. The motor truck department, 

 which has been seriously handicapped for room since the fire last Sep- 

 tember, is making good headway pending the erection of new buildings to 

 bouse these activities. The outlook is regarded as more favorable than 

 at any time in a year or more. 



The planing mill and woodworking factory of Herman Heebink at Bald- 

 win, was totally destroyed by fire, together with machinery and equipment 

 late in February. The plant will be rebuilt in the coming spring, and 

 inquiry will be made soon for new machinery. 



The Pfiffner Lumber Company of Stevens Point, contemplates the erection 

 of a new planing mill and an office building. The mill will be two stories 

 high, 60 by 120 feet in size, of brick and frame construction.

 and moved with his parents to Elmhurst In 1881, becoming associated

 he operated a sawmill at Maykind for twelve years and in 1905 he moved 

 to Antigo. For the last fttur years he conducted a large sawmill near 

 Antigo. 



What Is regarded as some of the finest rock elm and basswood ever logged 

 In the North is included in the input of logs made this season by Schneck 

 Brothers of Antigo, who have been operating camps covering twenty-four 

 forties in the town of Elton, owned by Gorman & Son of Wausau, Wis. The 

 tract Is rich In hardwoods and hemlock. A large part of the rock elm has 

 been put in for uses as hewed ship timber. Some measured 48 feet in length 

 and 16 by 16 Inches square. Most of this has been shipped to Quebec for 

 reshlpment to English shipyards.

The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



The buyers still hold the whip hand in the Chicago hardwood market. 

 There is no tendency yet among them ; that is. conRiiming buyers, to buy 

 for more than the briefest possible periods ahead. They get Into the market 

 only for such stuflf as they must havi- at a pivon period and even when 

 they buy under this condltlnn they insist upon picking up a bargain. In 

 general the firsts and seconds grade Is holding pretty firm in price, because 

 of its scarcity In nearly all woods. This is especially true of birch Items
