The Caddo River Lumber Company, Rosbora, Ark.', will establish a 

 hardwood plant nt that point, which will have a capacity of about 12ri.- 

 000 feet per day. It will be a double bnnd mill and will be equlppe<l with 

 the latest Improvements. It Is estimated that It will be In readiness for 

 operation about Octobi-r 1. Contract for the equipment hos already been 

 awarded to the Allls-ChalmerB Company. 



The Decatur Hox and Basket Company has been organized at Decatur. 

 Ala., with a capital stock of $7,000. It will engage In the manufacture 

 of boxes, baskets and other products made of wood. A. D. Jervls Is 

 president, W. F. Boswell Is general manager and W. A. Bibb Is secretary 

 and treasurer. 



The Trumann Cooperage Company, Trumann, Ark., has awarded n con- 

 tract for building three new dry kilns at Its plant. These Improvements 

 are to bo made as quickly as possible. This company has recently been 

 operating on a larger scale and Is getting ready for an active buslni'.sK 

 this fall. 



The National Handle Factory, which has been located at Almyra. .\rk.. 

 is now being removed to Stuttgart. This plant Is owned by Earl Rhodes. 

 Operations will begin at the now location shortly. The plant will manu- 

 lactuie all kinds of handles and will also make a specialty of Ixisebnll 

 bats. 



It is announced that the Arkansas Bending Works at Stuttgart, which 

 have been closed for a number of months, will resume operations about 

 the first of September. H. Elegner will he In control. This company 

 manufactures wagon material and for some time after operations are re- 

 sumed it will simply saw the lumber, which will be sent to the eastern 

 factory of the company, which is located at Toledo, Ohio, where It will be 

 finished. 



A oOO-acre tract of walnut timber has been purchased near Tipton, 

 Tenn., and the timber thereon Is now being cut and rafted to Paducab, 

 Ky., where It Is being converted Into material to be used in the manu- 

 facture of gunstocks to be used in the European war. 



John \V. McClure of the Bellgrade Lumber Company and president 

 of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association has recently returned from 

 on extended trip to the Pacific coast and the Northwest. He visited the 

 ranama-Paciflc Exposition at San I'"ranclsco and also touched a number 

 of points in the Pacific Northwest. He was accompanied by Mrs. Mc- 

 Clure and both report the trip, which covered about 8,000 miles, exceed- 

 ingly pleasant. 



I'. S. Lambert of NIckey Brothers has recovered from an attack of 

 tonsllitis wiiich kept him at home for some days. Be Is now able to 

 attend to his duties and gives a rather encouraging view of the outlook 

 for fall business. 



It is regarded as probable that the granting of higher rates on gum 

 lumber to Ohio river crossings, and thence into Central Freight .\ssocla- 

 lion territory by the Interstate Commerce Commission, will result In the 

 stoppage of Gome of the mills manufacturing gum exclusively. .Mready 

 there has been a decided slowing down in the cutting of gum and it is 

 ' xpected that there will be further developments In the same direction. 

 It is pointed out by gum interests that only the best timber can bo cut 

 and marketed profitably under present conditions. Small trees which 

 furnish only a small percentage of high-grade stock cannot be cut except 

 at a loss under present conditions, even without the increase in freight 

 rates, and the latter only tends to make the situation a great deal worse 

 with respect to trees of this character. As one prominent manufacturer 

 put it, It Is impossible to expect to accomplish anything except with the 

 cream of the forests so long as this advance hangs over the trade.
