 without delay. 



The Langland Lumber Company, Antigo, is placing the machinery in 

 its new planing mill in the northern part of the city, and shipments of 

 unplaned lumber already are being made. Five dwellings for employes 

 are in process of construction on the grounds ot the company. 



Work of dismantling the Peshtigo sawmill has begun tor the purpose of 

 shipping the machinery to Phelps, to be installed in the new sawmill ot

 winter to replace that of the old mill, destroyed by tire. 



The Robbins Lumber Company, Uhlnelander, will install a new 12.5- 

 horsepower boiler and erect a one-hundred-foot stack at its plant. The 

 order was placed with the Hunt Boiler works, JTarinette. 



The big mill of the Rice Lake Lumber Company. Rice Lake, has com- 

 pleted the winter run on hardwood and is now sawing hemlock. The de- 

 mand for hardwood millwood for fuel purposes now exceeds the supply, 

 and a number of orders remained unfilled at the close of the hardwood 

 sawing. 



G. E. Bergland, Milwaukee, who owns a sawmill at the upper end of 

 Lake Gogebic, Ontonagon county. Michigan, is in litigatory struggle 

 with the Victoria Mining Company in an attempt to enjoin the latter 

 from raising the level of Lake Gogebic. Several contracts exist between 

 the contending parties in respect of elevating water along which they 

 both have interests. 



Albert G. Johnson, Iron River, has sold his lumber stock to the Scott- 

 Graff Lumber Company, Duluth. 



The Halsted-Hughes Lumber Company, Milwaukee, has filed articles of 

 incorporation with a capital stock of $10,000 to engage in the whole- 

 saling of lumber, with headquarters in the First National building. The 

 incorporators are : T. J. Hughes, H. M. Halsted, and E. J. Patterson. 



According to news dispatches from Washington, D. C, the A. Streich 

 & Brother Company, Oshkosh, is among the concerns to which contracts 

 have been awarded for the construction ot 44,8.50 transport wagons tor 

 use of the new array to be raised. The contracts were let by Major

 conveyences will cost from $160 to $186.61 each.

 man Lumber Company, Goodman. 



The Foster-Latimer Lumber Company, Mellen. recently received a war 

 order for four carloads of hemlock lumber for the Rockford cantonment. 

 The order was received recently in the hours of early morning, accompanied 

 by directions for filling in twenty-four hours. The planing mill was 

 placed on an all-night run and all conditions were complied with. 



The state railroad commission recently decided in favor of the plain- 

 tiffs in the case of the Blackwell-Kaiser Lumber Company et al vs. the 

 Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, the Cliicago, Milwaukee, 

 St. Paul & Omaha Railway Company and the Minneapolis, St. Paul & 

 Saulte Ste. Marie Railway Company, and ordered a reduction of three 

 cents per hundred pounds on carloads of lumber shipments of lumber 

 products and commodities taking the lumber rates, and shipped from 

 Kaiser, Price county, Wisconsin, to points on the Milwaukee and Soo 

 lines. The reduction will amount to an average of about twelve dollars 

 on each car. 



According to reports from New London, the Wisconsin Cabinet and Panel 

 Company of that city is feeling seriously the lack of sufficient structures 

 of domicile for its employes and under pressure of the dearth is hesitant 

 to locate its contemplated new addition in New London. The company is 

 an Edison interest and as such is in strong demand by all neighboring 

 cities. A committee of New London prominent citizens is conferring with 

 ofHcials of the company in an attempt to bring about a solution of the 

 residence problem. 



Dust combustion in the boiler room of the Bekkedal Lumber Company's 

 hardwood sawmill at Eddy Creek recently caused a fire that destroyed 

 practically the whole structure. The value, $7,000, was partly covered 

 by insurance. The cut of the season is about half through and the firm 

 has 23,000,000 feet of standing timber. A favoring wind saved about 

 5,000,000 feet ot timber and 5,000 cords of wood stored in the adjoining 

 yards. 



=■< CHICAGO >.=t 



Changes in the Chicago hardwood trade do not materialize with any 

 rapidity these days except in specialized lines. In spite ot more or less 

 falling off in ordinary purchases from most common sources, the tone 

 of the whole trade is strong and optimistic. The approach of the sum- 

 mer furniture shows which are being held this month, was in part re- 

 sponsible for lessened call from this trade, which slackness will continue 

 through the month or until tbe probable trend ot the furniture markets 

 is established. There is every ri'ason to expect though that with the con- 

 clusion of the shows there will be marked acceleration in purchases. 



Building operations continue listless, mainly owing to the excessive cost
