April 6, and it is expected the city of Evansvllle and Vanderburg county 

 will subscribe for about 53,000,000 worth of bonds. Many prominent 

 lumbermen are on the committees named recently by John J. Nolan, presi- 

 dent of the Chamber of Commerce, viz. : Daniel Wertz. Maley and 

 Wertz ; George 0. Worland of the Eyansvllle Veneer Company and presi- 

 dent of the Evansvllle Lumbermen's Club ; Theodore E. Eechtin, Rechtin 

 Lumber Company ; Elmer D. Luhring, Luhrlng Lumber Company ; Louis 

 Holtman of the Schuutc-Holtman Company ; Michael D. Helfrich, Hel- 

 f rich Lumber and Manufacturing Company ; Fred W. Reitz of Clem Eeitz 

 and Sons Company ; Charles A. Wolflin, Wolflin West Side Lumber Com- 

 pany ; J. C. Greer, J. C. Greer Lumber Company and others. 



Lumber manufacturers are interested in the proposition to build good 

 roads and in many counties in southern Indiana the work of improving 

 the public highways goes merrily on. It is expected that the Dixie Bee 

 Line Highway that will extend from Danville, 111., to Adams, Tenn., will 

 te completed some time this year. Mayor Benjamin Bosse. president of 

 the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company, this city, is the president of 

 the Dixie Bee Line Association. 



John C. Keller, traffic commissioner of the Chamber of Commerce, and 

 traffic manager of the Evansvllle Lumbermen's Club, has received consid- 

 erable literature on the opportunities to sell Evansvllle furniture and 

 woodwork in Colombia and other countries in South America. Mr. Keller 

 is pointing out that with the completion of locks and dams on the Ohio 

 river and the building of terminal facilities in Evansvllle and In other 

 cities along the river that manufacturers will greatly improve their 

 chance of getting trade In both the South American and the Central 

 American countries. Some of the Evansvllle furniture manufacturers are 

 already in the southern markets and it is expected that after the trans- 

 Atlantic war this trade will greatly increase. 



D. B. MacLaren, D. B. MacLaren Lumber Company, returned recently 

 from a business trip through the southern states and reported trade con- 

 ditions improving some. 



George O. Worland, secretary and treasurer of the Evansvllle Veneer 

 Company, returned a few days ago from a business trip to Memphis, 

 Tenn. Mr. Worland says the veneer plants in this section are now being 

 operated on full time and he Is looking for a nice business this summer 

 and fall. 



O. B. Matthews announced a few days ago that he had purchased the 

 old vinegar factory building at Rockport, Ind., a few miles east of here 

 and he will equip it as a woodworking plant, manufacturing wood novel- 

 ties, his specialty being locust telephone pins. Mr. Matthews is now in- 

 stalling machinery in the building and he expects to be in operation in a 



short time. The business will be ran under the name of the Rockport 

 Novelty Works. 



Henry James, formerly a resident of Wabash county, III., who for some 

 time past has operated a sawmill at Schrodts. La., will move his mill to 

 Delhi that state, according to word received here by his friends. He has 

 several hundred acres of fine timbered lands near Delhi that will be 

 sawed up. He has sent to Grayville, 111., for labor among the men that 

 he formerly knew. 



The Maley Lumber and Land Company, of this city, has sold a tract of 

 S.OOO acres of fine timberland in Grenada county. Miss., to May Brothers 

 of Memphis, Tenn. The tract consists chiefly of oak with some gum. It 

 is paid to be one of the finest tracts in Mississippi. 



-< LOUISVILLE >= 



The Louisville branch of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association 

 has been taking on new members so rapidly that it has been forced to en- 

 large its office space and force. The branch has been moved from 1305 

 Starks building to rooms 320 and 321. Manager May has secured Roy 

 Browing from the general freight department of the Louisville & Nashville 

 as an assistant tariff expert and added another stenographer. 



The W. E. WUlett Lumber Company, which has been growing rapidly in 

 the past two years, has taken an additional room in the Starks building, 

 and has more than doubled the space used by the clerical force, which 

 has been crowded into cramped quarters for some time past. 



Edward L. Davis of the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company in discuss- 

 ing the present situation said : "Thick lumber is in abnormal demand, 

 and I believe prices will continue high, and the demand good for some 

 time to come." Mr. Davis stated that markets were so uncertain and 

 prices changing so rapidly that it was a serious problem to fill orders 

 where he didn't have the entire stock on the yard. For instance a ten-car 

 order, where two cars are on the yard and eight cars have to be pur- 

 chased, in many cases represents a loss by the time the order is filled, 

 as a loss on the eight cars eats up the profit on the two that could be sold 

 at a profit, as it is almost impossible to find short requirements. 



J. H. Townshend of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, while 

 in Louisville, in discussing the market and probability of the war dragging 

 out for some length of time, remarked that he hoped that it didn't go 

 two years longer, as a Gypsy fortune teller had told him he was due to 

 go to Europe in 1920, and that he wouldn't come back alive. "That's a 

 sweet little thing to have hanging over you," remarked Mr. Townshend. 



According to an announcement made at Winchester, Ky., on April 3, 

 the plant of the Winchester Lumber & Manufacturing Company, which was 

 recently burned with a heavy loss, will be rebuilt this summer or in the
