avoid paying high demurrage charges. Several manufacturers and job- 

 bers of Louisville managed to picls up some excellent lumber at under 

 the market as a result. 



MeCainmon & Keller of Lebanon, Ky., have received a good government 

 contract for spokes, and have leased the old plant of the Columbia Column 

 Company at Lebanon, and installed machinery to manufacture spokes. 

 This concern has been operating a savfmill near Lebanon, and has ar- 

 ranged to obtain most of its timber requirements. The spoke plant will 

 employ about fifty men when rnnnins full. 



=■< ARKANSAS >- 



The next annual convention of the Arkansas Association of Lumber 

 Dealers will be held in Hot Springs on Friday and Saturday, June 7 and 

 8. 1918, according to the decision reached at the district meeting of the 

 association, which was held in the Marlon hotel at Little Rock on February 

 5. J. ii. Webster, secretary of the association, also the vice gercnt snark 

 for Arkansas in the concatenated order of IToo-Hoo, has announced that 

 a concatenation will be held in connection with the annual in Hot Springs 

 on the night of June 8. He has conferred with E. D. Tennant of St. Louis, 

 secretary-treasurer of the order, and plans are being laid for a big state 

 gatlierlng. Mr. Tennant and Snark Priddie of Beaumont, Tex., are expected 

 to be present. 



The district meeting was well attended, interest was keen, and all 

 appeared to enjoy and profit from the one-day session. J. C. Dionne of 

 Houston, Tex., secretary of the Texas Lumber Dealers' Association, was 

 the principal speaker and conducted a class in lumber retailing. He 

 advanced some excellent and progressive Ideas, and predicted a revolution 

 in selling lumber at retail, saying that the time was soon coming when 

 houses complete would be sold by a merchant selling the completed job, 

 just as an automobile dealer sells a completed car, and not the various 

 materials or parts that go to make up an automobile. 



The Saint Francis Valley Lumber Company is the name of the new 

 corporation recently organized at Piggott, Ark., with a capital stock of 

 .?40,000. The new corporation will deal in real estate and manufacture, 

 buy and sell timber and timber products, especially lumber and staves. 

 This concern is to all intents and purposes the successor of the old T. A. 

 Foley Lumber Company, which has been operating at Piggott for the past 

 few years. The officers of the new company are B. R. Bertrand, presi- 

 dent ; 0. R. Bowman, vice-president, and H. W. Powell, secretary and 

 treasurer. T. A. Foley and the officers named constitute the board of 

 directors, while the other stockholders are H. L. Hodge, F. G. Foley and 

 R. G. Southerland. 



E. A. Fisher, A. F. Hayes and G. E. Wilson of Michigan have pur- 

 chased the old Schussier stave and heading plant at Clarendon, .\rk., and 

 announce that they will remodel and overhaul the entire plant. They say 

 the work of rebuilding will be rushed and that the plant will soon be ready 

 to operate, turning out the same kind of stock as heretofore, namely, 

 slack barrel staves and headings. 



--i WISCONSIN >.= 



The Roddis Lumber & Veneer Company. Marshfleld. Wis., has established 

 a department of women's welfare to accommodate the increasing number 

 of female employes in the plant, due to the shortage of male help. Miss 

 Marian R. Knox, Ralston. N. J., has been employed as supervisor of 

 women's work. 



John Tracy. Appleton, Wis., manufacturer of hubs and spokes, has pur- 

 chased the oak. basswood and pine timber on a forty-acre tract of land 

 at Kaukauna, Wis., from the Green Bay & Mississippi Canal Company. 

 It is expected that the tract will yield 100,000 feet of logs and 3.000 cords 

 of cordwood. A contract for cutting the timber has been let. Mr. Tracy 

 also has purchased 250,000 feet of birch logs near Monico, Wis., which 

 already are beginning to arrive in .\ppleton b.v rail and insure an adequate 

 suppl.v of material to keep the Tracv plant busy for the rest of the year. 



The Northern Casket Company, Fond du Lac. Wis., has increased its 

 capital stock from ,¥200,000 to $600,000 to accommodate the rapid growth 

 of its business and output during the last few years. The company 

 originally was organized as the Nehrbass Casket Company with a capital 

 stock of $100,000. In July, 1909, the name was changed to the present 

 style, and in July, 1913, the capital was doubled. In addition to the 

 Fond du Lac plant, the compan.v owns and controls large plants in Denver, 

 Colo., and Sioux City, la, William Mauthe is president and general 

 manager. 



The .\ppleton Chair Company, Appleton. Wis., which recently purchased 

 a tract of hardwood timber near Eagle River, Wis., is now receiving on an 

 average of three carloads of logs by rail each day. A camp with thirty 

 men has been at work on the tract for more than a month and taking 

 out all maple and birch timber and expects to supply the Appleton plant 

 with from 100 to 125 cars of logs during the next sixty days. 



To gain the advantage of keeping its entire facilities occupied twenty- 

 four hours a day, the .\hnapee Veneer & Seating Company, .\lgoma. Wis., 

 recently split up its working force into two shifts and has thereby prac- 

 tically doubled its output without being obliged to seek additional help 

 under present conditions of an acute shortage of labor. 



.\ndrew Kaul, Jr.. & Co., Merrill, Wis., have reopened their hub and 

 spoke plant and are employing a crew of forty men. Logs are being 

 received almost ever.v day, and it is hoped to keep the plant in continuous 

 operation until next winter.
