Olijectiuii was rniced to the continuance of the association as a

 ]>orpli columns in carloads from Ittal>ena, Miss., to points in Ohio 

 anil [toints east are found to lie unreasonable to the extent that they 

 exceed the rates concurrently applicable on lumber by more than three 

 cents jier hundred pounds. Evidences in the case showed that the

 rate on these columns should not exceed the rate on the lumber from 

 which thev are made bv more than three cents.

Hardwood is not only becoming ivn important factor in house 

 trim, but hardwood consumed by the building trade is becoming an 

 item of considerable importance to the hardwood industry. There 

 is a chance to make it still more important by persistent and in- 

 telligent exploitation. 



After unsatisfactory results from informal complaints, the Hollis- 

 ter-French Lumber Company of South Bend, Ind., has filed a formal 

 complaint against the Michigan Central with the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission. The company attacks the rate charged between 

 Michigan City, Ind., and Naperville, 111. At the time the shipment 

 movied, there was in effect a sixth-class rate of 6% cents on hardwood 

 lumber from Michigan City to Chicago. The rate from Chicago to 

 Naperville was ."! cents. The rate from Chicago to Michigan City

 trafiic over identical rails but in an opposite direction. 



There has been pretty good evidence of benefits in the way of 

 large consumption coming from the exploitation of black walnut. 

 This is an excellent native wood that should never have been 

 neglected, and now that it is in favor again those interested in it

We are reminded by the Forest Service that William Penn in bis 

 charter of rights provided that for every five acres of forest 

 cleared one acre should be preserved in woods. The pioneer Quaker 

 had some good forestry sense, for a better forestry system could not 

 be devised than that of having one-fifth of every farm in a woodlot.
