 ing. It has turned forty acres of cut-over land over to its sixty em- 

 ployes and business of sowing and hoeing is now in order. 



The Wausau Manufacturing Company, recently organized, will not only 

 have the distinction 'of manufacturing the smallest product made in 

 Wausau — toothpicks — but will also exist as the only toothpick plant in 

 Wisconsin. Both birch and maple logs will be used in the manufacture 

 of the picks, all of which are to be of one grade. The demand for tooth- 

 picks is good, and as soon as business warrants the plant will be devoted 

 to other lines as well.

 about 180 people and means an added payroll of $800.

 erection of a one-story power house in that city. 



Dispatches from all parts of northern Wisconsin near the zone of the 

 forest fires reported that "fires raged," and to judge from the damage in 

 various sections and the strenuous efforts made to squelch the flames they 

 were easily as terrible as the descriptions portrayed them. The big saw- 

 mill of the Rust-Owen Lumber Company at Drummond, Bayfield county, 

 was closed to permit {he 400 employes to go out in combat against the 

 flames. 



The Albrecht Manufacturing Company, operating a lumber yard and 

 planing mill in Kewaunee will soon make extensive improvements in and

 destroyed by a fire of unknown origin, which consumed the entire mill, 

 with a loss about $75,000. Insurance carried was $40,000. 



The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >• 



Chicago is too busy getting ready for the big affair next week — the 

 Natioal meeting — to bother unduly over boresome business details, but 

 In spite of this handicap the local men are keeping the carriers pretty 

 busy trying to move the lumber they sell. Box stuff is still way in the 

 front and going stronger every day. There is still no room to look for 

 more strength in the stuff going to the finish factories, though the furni- 

 ture people are showing more desire for stock than it had been expected 

 they would continue to show. It is hard to name the market today, as 

 it reflects the influences of many orders taken under protest, but the 

 advances are rapid and in some cases sensational. What business falls 

 off will have to show a much more rapid decline than at present to keep 

 ahead of the gains in other, and in many cases new, directions.
