The I'arkland Sawmill Cimipnuy was recently elected u member of thi' 

 Louisville llerdwood Club. Charles Talbot Is runuint; the mill and Uuscoe 

 Wlllett Is In charge of the sales end. 



T!ie Kdward L. Davis Lumber Cumpany's sawmill is about ready to 

 -■tart up UKuln. Jlr. Uavls has logged the mill fur a good run, and will 

 ii.ive sonic especially line (luartered oak, walnut, and ash to offer bl^

Tile Cliurclilll -Milton Lumber Company suffered some loss by Hre at Its 

 New .Mljany, Ind., yard recently, a few ^tttcks of lumber and Bomc wood- 

 workiiij,' machinery belu^' burned. The loss has been adjusted by the 

 iusuranco companies, and the equipment will be replaced. 



Owing to the fact that a number of sawmills which have been down 

 are starting up again In this territory, more log buyers have been In the 

 held than for some time. This is having the effect of advancing the log 

 market, and in some cases It has beeu reported that such high prices are 

 lielnt; paid for oak that on the basis of present market quotations It will 

 lie Impossible for the manufacturers to make any money out of the propo- 

 sition. 



.\ better demand for car oak has been reported lately, and this Is 

 something which the sawmill men have been glad to sec, as It is the 

 .ibsence of a trade on this class of stock that has made business seem 

 l>,irticularly dull. With the railroads and the car builders In the market 

 lor bill oak, however, it is believed that the mills will be able to operate 

 • 111 a more profitable basis than for some time. 



Fred C. McCracken of the Kentucky Veneer Works has been "going 

 liood" on the golf liuks this summer, and has been making the cracks at 

 the Audubon Country Club look twice. Uoscoe Wlllett of the Wlllett 

 Lumber Company is another goiter who has come to the fore. He Is 

 now ill the finals for the president's cup at the Louisville Country Club. 

 V. K. Kline, head of the Louisville Veneer Mills, has been spending a 

 vacation at French Lick Springs, lud. Business with the concern has 

 beeu quiet, but It has shown a considerable Improvement during the past 

 few days. 



J. B. Burbank, who for tlie past year has been vice-president and gen- 

 eral manager of K. L. Hughes & Co., local iiilllwork Jobbers, has resigned, 

 and is now taking a vacation. The company, was reorganized when the 

 I'aine Lumber Company, which held the controlling Interest, went Into 

 a receivership, and Mr. Burbank. the Paine representative, gave way to 

 Ernest L. Hughes, the representative of the Hughes estate, which has 

 taken over the business. Mr. Hugbes has the title of vice-president. 



Emmett Ford, who is manager of the dimension department of the C. C. 

 Mcugcl & Bro. Company, Is managing to keep his mill busy on orders. 

 The sawmill Is not running at present. J. C. Wlckllffe, secretary of the 

 company, who has been abroad for several months, Is expected to return 

 by Sepiemoer 1. He has not only been In England, but has made the 

 dangerous Clianuel trip several times iu the Interests of the company. 



One feature of the situation which makes for a stronger lumber market 

 is that stocks In the hands of producers are undoubtedly smaller than 

 they have been for a long while. The surplus which was developed 

 when the war broke out has been disposed of, for the most part, and 

 many mills which were closed then are still down. Consequently, even 

 couceding that consumption Is below normal, there Is no reason why 

 lumber values should not expand to the figures which arc In line with 

 stumpage and manufacturing costs. With the exception of four-quarter 

 and a few other staple thicknesses, there is a decided scarcity of many 

 hardwood items at present. 



The Chess & Wymond Company of Louisiana, a subsidiary of the 

 Chess i: W.vmond Company of Louisville, is now operating a veneer mill 

 at Holly lildge. La. Eugene Graham, who Is general manager of the
