 the news of increased activity of the state lioard in prcijaration for 

 Its exhibit at the state fair, which occurs at Indianapolis, September ('• 

 to 11. The Idea of an exhibit at the fair is not a new one, but this 

 year the board plans to make It bigger, better, and more complete than 

 ever before.

Railroad Man Willing to Discuss Re-Classification with 

 Lumbermen 



A, Klel.lii.r .Mnrsb. < balrman ..i ili'- niillle eMintiiltl f the National 



llaidwood Lumber .\ssoelntlon. mlvlses that Kngene Morris, Hi-eretnry of 



the railroad classllicatlon commit has slgnllled his wililniiness to place 



before the Indlvlilual rnllroad oiniliils a plan for a Joint wnfennce with 

 lumbermen to discuss the question of clnssllleathin. Tlie LumlMTinen's 

 .\Ksoelatlon of Chleaco. in roDjuncllon with tin' .National Hardwood Lumber 

 .\ssoclatlon. accordingly addressini a letter to various lumber associations 

 throughiait the country asklDg tleni whether It wonli! be practical to havi' 

 such a conference an<l how such slmnld be arranged. While It is as .vet t<io 

 early to have complete anstrers to these letters, a numlK'r of imisjrtant 

 (piestions have Is'cn considered. 



Mr. Marsh says 11 Is already manifestly evident that lumbermen as a 

 class must give more careful attention to lumber classllicatlon. n» this 

 uuestlon Is one of growing flnnntial interest. It has been suggeHte<l by 

 memWrs of the association that Instead of the dressed lumber rates being 

 advanced live iier cent, as now proposed by the railroads, thus umpiestlon- 

 ably hurting the lumber induBtry. ;i far better plan would lie to allow the 

 dressed lumber rate to remain lie- same, but ln<rease the minimum weight 

 nnd decrease the rate on all roimli products, this |ilan allowing tlic> rail- 

 roads per ear mile earnings to be Imreased while at the same time aiding 

 the lumber Industry to ship rough lumber at a lower rate, and not increase 

 its rate on the dressed products.

Pertinent Information 



careful economy .and foresight, erected at tin- 

 building which is admirably suited to the pur- 

 pose intended. Tlie building is of the bungalow 

 type, twenty-four feet wide and thirty-six feet 

 long. It is being linished in a pretty br<iwn 

 with tapestry brick porches of a correspondiiiii 

 shade. The finish combines with the outlines 

 of the building so as to give the complet.Nl 

 structure a suggestion of rusticity much in 

 keeping with its purpose. 



The ground aojoining the building is to be 

 given up to transplant beds of yoving forest 

 trees, and a small forest plantation. The ob 

 iect of this outdoor detnonstratlon plot is to 

 show the inhabitants of Indiana how their 

 poorer classes of land may produce a forest 

 crop. 



The Interior is to be fully occupied by an 

 extensive exhibit of the forests of the stale 

 and their products. The results of the work 

 of the state board at the forest reservation 

 are to be graphically shown. .\ complei< 

 dendrological collection of the timber trees o; 

 Indiana is to occupy another section : statistics 

 nnd charts outlining the status of the wood- 

 working industries of the state are to be giv n 

 a third section : while a fourth large section is 

 to lie occupied by the lumbering utilization and 

 timlHT preservation interests of tlie state. It 

 is desired that no phase of the work be omitted, 

 to the end that this new home of the state 

 board during the fair may lie sueli a jilace of 

 interest to all lumbermen nnd those in any way 

 interested in forestry, that they may make it 



grounds a new forestry 



Industrial Roads Become Common Carriers 



On .Tuly 10 at Washington, Ii. i'.. the interstate Commerce Cominission 

 announced a decision alTecting 147 inilustrlai railways in olllcial classiflca- 

 tiou territory, which is north of the Oliio Klver and east of the Mississippi 

 River. 



The decision fixes the status of the Industrial railways generally as 

 that of common carriers and re(pilri's trunk lines, of which these indus- 

 trial lines are feeders, to restore through routes and Joint rates and In 

 other ways treat the industrial lines as common carriers, entitled to 

 share in the rates, proportionate to the service rendered. 



The longest industrial line affected by the order Is the Algoma Ontral 

 and Hudson Bay. which has a mileage of :!Si(l. The shortest is the To- 

 ledo. Angolia & Western, which has a trackage of little more than eleven 

 miles. 



The case wa.s submitted to the commission in February. It grew out 

 of the action of the trunk lines in tiling tarilTs which cancelled Joint rates 

 with and allowances to all Industrially owned lines.
