The Oslikosh (Wis.) Excelsior Miiuufncturlng Company has decreased ajJUU 



Its capital Slock from $100,000 to J.'O.OOO. M 



Tlie StowoU Lumber Company, Milwaukee, has been organized with an ^ 



authorized capital slock of $5,000 by Werner J. Trimborn, Raymond J. g 



Grode and K. L. Xohl. g 



The Standard Itealty Company. Manitowoc. Wis., has been organized by g 



a number of large employers of labor in that city for the purpose of g 



building 100 homes tor worklngmen in Manitowoc during 1918. Twenty- g 



one duplex houses win be erected. The total investment will exceed g 



$120,000. ,Tullus Undstedt is president of the company. H 



The Oconto Company. Chicago and Oconto, Wis., won its case against ^ 



the Wisconsin & Xortherii Railway Company in the Hane county circuit S 



court, and under the decision the Chicago & Northwestern is granted the g 



right to build a connecting line through the timber holdings of the = 



Oconto Company to Klngstoiy Wis. The Wisconsin & Northern sought J 



to prevent the construction of the line on the ground that it would ^ 



violate the competitive clause of the Wisconsin Hallway Commission act. ^ 



The Oconto Company would practically have been obliged to suspend ^ 



operations of its big mills at Oconto unless it was enabled to get logs from s 



Its tlmberlands to the mills by means of an extension of the Northwestern ^ 



road in Langlade county. It owns about 6.000 acres of timber, upon ^ 



which ti.OOO.OOO feet already have been cut but have not yet had an ^ 



outlet. Ten miles of the new Northwestern extension are ready for rails. = 



The nice Lake (Wis.) Lumber Company may be forced to suspend win- g 



ter operations in its big sawmill so far a.s hardwoods are concerned g 



because of the various unfavorable conditions with which it is confronted ^ 



at this time. The hardwood log supply must be brought to ISice Liike ^ 



entirely by rail. The car shortage and lacli of labor for its camps are ^ 



responsible for the iincertaint.v. ^ 



The J. W. Wells Lumber Company. Marinette. Wis., is reported to have ^ 



purchased 8,000 acres of choice hardwood timber near Sagola. Mich., on g 



the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul line, thus providing millions of feet g 



of timber for Its mills when the present supplies in Marinette and Forest g 



counties and Iron county. Mich., are exhausted. The tract just acquired g 



probably will not be logged for three or four years more. It lies within ^ 



Dickinson county, Mich., and is considered one of the iinest hardwood g 



tracts in the upper peninsula. The Wells company has a two years' cut g 



of hardwood on eleven forties east of Iron river, along the Crystal Falls ^ 



branch of the Milwaukee road, and will log part of the tract during the ^ 



coming winter. The timber will be shipped to Menominee, Mich. The g 



tract is estimated to contain 20,000.000 feet. H 



Thi' big sawmill established at Glidden, Wis., twenty years ago by the ^ 



Rogers & Kmmons Lumber Company, is lieing dismantled b.v the Paine ^ 



Lumber Company, Oshkosh. Wis., and the equipment still remaining is g 



now being transferred to the Oshkosh mills. The Rogers & Emmons ^ 



company sold the mill to the Glidden Veneer Compan.v, which six years H 



ago disposed of the plant and a large acreage of timber to the Paine com- g 



pany. Operations gradually were suspended, as the equipment was with- g 



drawn and devoted to the purposes of the Paine plant in Oshliosh. g 



Work has been started by the Kiel Woodenware Company. Kiel. Wis.. J 



on a new one-story factory addition. 80x320 feet in size, and enlargement ^ 



of its steam pitwer plant, the whole to cost about ?7.~<.0i)0. g 



.-Vntone I>odero, Florence. Wis., a well known logging jobl)er. lias started g 



extensive logging operations about nine miles south of' Saunders, Wis., g 



on Siding SI! of the Long Lake branch of the Chicago & Northwestern J 



railroad. Mr. Dodero has purchased the timber on seventeen forties and ^ 



will operate one camp of forty men. The rest of the cut will be sublet. ^ 



Charles II. Lake, who recently moved from Chicago to Marinette. Wis.. ^ 



and became actively engaged in the management of the Grimmer Land = 



Company of that city, was found dead in his home on November i:i. Mr. g 



Lake had been shot through the head and a revolver was found clutched ^ 



in his right hand. He was a son-in-law of Perley Lowe, a well known J 



lumberman of Chicago ami Peshtigo, Wis. ^ 



.lohn Jensen, proprietor of the Kaukauna Lumber & Manufaitiiring g 



Company, Kaukauna. Wis., died recently after a long illness from liiabetes. ^ 



He was eighty-three years old and a native of Holland. He came to = 



Wisconsin in 1S4S and was a pioneer in the northern lumber industry. g 



The Kaukauna business was established in ISOT. g 



The American Standardized House Company. Milwaukee, has been ^ 



Incorporated with a capital stock of S2."i.000 by Edward C. Knoernschlid. g 



Gustav M. Ilafenlirack and T. W. Brazeau. The company will engage g 



in the promotion of home building along a uniform design and iil.iii whiib g 



its members recently have perfected. = 



The Hardwood Market 



--< CHICAGO >. 



The ear shortage Is materially holding down stocks arriving in Chicago 

 and is of great assistance in holding up prices. The trade locally in 

 hardwoods contlnui's Ann in quotations in spite of a growing serio\isness 

 In yards and similar trade. Low grades finding their way to Chicago 

 move without diffliulty into box and crating factories, but the higher 

 crndf-^ I- heretofore, especially for Imilcllni.' purposes, are not so active.
