To Build Large Western Mill 

 Anotber llastern concern lias decided to Invade the raciflc Coast field, 

 this latest manufacturing corporation to seek now regions being the 

 Kendall Lumber Company, which has been operating for .years at Crelliu, 

 Garrett county, Md. The principal members of the company are Samuel .\. 

 Kendall of Washington. I>. C. and Meyersdale, l*a.. an<i .1. I,. Kendall of 

 Pittsburgh. They have acquired a large tract of tiinlur with Itosebmg 

 as the center, and their coming has so enthused the residents and property 

 owners that these, by a large majority, voted a bond issue of $300,000 to 

 aid the enterprise. A big sawmill is to be erected at Hoseburg, and it is 

 confidently expected that the population of the town will be doubled 

 after the plant is once running. The timber is .said to be of a fine quality 

 and to suffice for years. Samuel .\. Kendall, with his wife and two 

 sons, started for Oregon, .Tune 2.'>, to remain there several weeks and get 

 the work of erecting the plant well under way. He will also arrange 

 other details. J. 11. Henderson of the Henderson Bros. I..umber Compan.y 

 of Clarksburg, W. Va., has been engaged as sales manager and will make 

 his headquarters either at Salt Lake City or Denver. The Kendall com- 

 pany counts on sending much of its output east. It lias been extensively 

 identified with the hardwood lumber industry of Western Maryland and 

 adjacent states.

New President of Champion Lumber Company 



It is reported that H. I. Miller, who was succeeded last April as presi- 

 dent of the Great Southern I^umber Company at liogalusa. La., by Walter 

 Piatt Cooke, has been elected president of the Champion Lumber Com 

 pany, which operates large timber tracts In North Carolina, and which 

 at the time of its organization took over the property of the Pigeon 

 River Lumber Company. Mr. Miller will assume many of the details that 

 have been looked after by Robert K. Whltnier. of William Whitmer & 

 Sons, who suffered a nervous breakdown several weeks ago and has been 

 advised to take a good rest. Mr. Whitmer's condition is not represented 

 as serious, but it will none the less necessitate a drawing in of his 

 activities, which have overtaxed his strength. Charles I. .Limes, of Ital- 

 timore, is a large stockholder in the Great Southern Company and also 

 in the Champion Lumber Company, which latter controls large timber 

 tracts, much of the timber being hardwoods, with extensive quantities of 

 pine also among the resources. The pull) interests of the Champion Com- 

 pany are extensive, and it is carrying on a number of sawmill operations.
