pose of cutting and manufacturing the timber into lumber. When the 

 timber has all been removed the land will be prepared for agriculture. 



The Southern Hardwood Company, Plymouth, Ind., has filed a certifi- 

 cate with the secretary of state of Arkansas showing the surrender of its 

 charter. 



=-< MILWAUKEE >= 



The H. G. Mueller Lumber &. Manufacturing Company, Sheboygan, has 

 filed an instrument with the registrar of deeds changing its name to the 

 H. C. Mueller Manufacturing Company. The petition also provides for 

 an increase of capital from ?32,000 to $60,000. 



About 700,000 feet of logs and bark belonging to the B. Heineman 

 Lumber Company, Wausau, which were piled on the Guenther branch of 

 the Milwaukee road east of Knowlton, were totally destroyed by fire a 

 short time ago. The Underwood Veneer Company also lost a large amount 

 of logs and cut wood in a blaze. 



A part of the Webster sawmill in Clam River was recently destroyed 

 by a fire. 



Fire believed to have been of incendiary origin recently destroyed the 

 sawmill of the Stevens Lumber Company, Rhinelander, with a loss of 

 $40,000. It was the third fire at the mill within three weeks. The city 

 council is considering plans to restore the establishment to operating 

 conditions. Two hundred men were thrown out of employment. 



The Diamond Match Company, Oshkosh, is building a new plant, 

 100x240 feet, four stories high and of brick construction. The new 

 structure means the employment of an additional force of 400 men and 

 a fifty per cent increase in output. The factory will be the largest of 

 the many plants operated in various parts of the country by this company. 



Between 1,500 and 2,000 men working in the mills of Marinette. Wis., 

 and Menominee, Mich., are to benefit by a wage increase. The J. W. Wells 

 Lumber Company has posted notice of a raise of fifteen cents a day, the 

 order having gone into eCEect June 1. The Sawyer-Goodman Lumber 

 Company, the largest on the Menominee river, and the Marinette and 

 Menominee Box Company made similar announcements. 



Some of the heaviest losers of timber through the forest fires which 

 ravaged the northern part of the state last month have worked on plants 

 to salvage damaged tracts. All timber killed by fire at this time of the 

 year soon deteriorates, and jack pine, of which large quantities were 

 damaged, is especially prone to do so. This being true, the necessity for 

 Immediate and extensive operation Is imperative if the hundreds of 

 thousands of dollars' worth of firc-kllled timber is to be usefully applied. 



The sawmill of the Stearns Lumber Company, Washburn, has been 

 started on its run for the season. 



The mill of the Lake Shore Lumber Company, Washburn, also has 

 begun operations and Is now running full blast. It is expected that a 

 good supply of logs will be maintained all the time. 



The sawmill of the Bauer & Khoop Lumber Company, Butternut, has 

 finished its season cut, totalling 000,000 foot. 



The warehouse of the Ludington Company, lumber and shingle manu- 

 facturer, Marinette, was recently destroyed in a fire which caused a loss 

 between $2,500 and $3,000. The insurance carried amounted to $2,000. 



That income on an investment made prior to the enactment of the 

 present Income tax law but which pays returns at the present time is 

 assessable under the income statutes was demonstrated in a recent de- 

 cision of the Wisconsin state supreme court in the case of the Sallle Moon 

 ConHMny, which claimed returns from an Investment In the Northwestern 

 Lumber Company insulated against taxation because the returns were 

 earned before the law became effective. The decision of the court de- 

 clares that the Incomes are taxed when they actually accrue to the 

 beneficiary. 



A wind "hitting It up" at a velocity of about forty miles an hour 

 recently snapped a twenty-flve foot section off the big smoke stack at 

 the sawmill plant of the New Dells Lumber Company, Eau Claire. The 

 only damage lay in slight impairment of machinery. Both the sawmill 

 and the planing mill arc shut down to permit completion of repairs. 



The Stearns Lumber Company, Ashland, recently started out a tug in 

 search of a raft of logs which got away from the tug Bayfield during a 

 recent storm. 



Elevation of a smokestack over 100 feet high has been completed at 

 the new sawmill of the Fish Lumber Company in course of construction 

 in Antlgo. An American flag floats freely above the new vent. 



The Stolper Cooperage Company, Milwaukee, has awarded contracts 

 for the erection of a cooper shop, 50x130 feet, at 3200 Fond du Lac 

 avenue, Milwaukee. 



The Milwaukee Washing Machine Company has filed an amendment to 

 its articles of incorporation changing its name to the Markesan Laundry
