 ness of the .larrell Lumber Company ut llninboldt and will operate (his 

 In the future. In addUion, these new ownnrs will also engage In gen-

 rniployes and the monthly payroll Is opproxlmately ifSn.OOO, about double

^-< NASHVILLE >= 



The Interstate Commerce Commission has modified an original order 

 ns to rates on lumber from southern points to Ohio river crossings. 

 Through this modified order the Louisville & Nashville is allowed to In- 

 crease not more than one cent per 100 pounds its rates to St. Louis 

 from stations on its lines. This action is taken in order to permit the 

 Louisville & Nashville to equalize Its rates with other lines serving the 

 same territory. 



Lumber buyers along the Tennessee river have undertaken an educa- 

 tional campaign among the millmcn in that territory. The millmen have 

 been culling boards 10 and 12 feet long, while It Is claimed that Uoor 

 managers require forty per cent of the same 14 to 16 feet In length. 

 Through this campaign buyers hope to enable millmen to get better prices 

 tor their product.

John B. Ransom & Co. have received a large contract for walnut for 

 export to England and other countries. Members of the company de- 

 clined to discuss the contract, out it was said to amount to close to 

 .$1,000,000. War supplies is the purpose of the contract. On account of 

 this big business the company has increased its operating force, and now 

 has more men at work than at any time in its history. .\s a result of 

 the foreign demand walnut Is being moved from all parts of middle Ten- 

 nessee. There were reports that the supply was short, but the recent 

 demand has brought out offerings thot contradict this opinion. 



=•< LOUISVILLE >= 



p. G. Booker, former president of the Booker-Cecll Lumber Company, 

 and now the owner of a fine farm on the Brownsboro road, near Louis- 

 ville, entertained the members of the club royally August 31. Several 

 years ago Mr. Booker, while a member of the club, had the hardwood 

 men at the family home at Nitta Yuma, at Harrod's Creek; and the 

 memory of that gathering was largely responsible for the enthusiastic 

 response to the present Invitation. The dinner was one of the most 

 lavish and enjoyable that the club has ever had, and Mr. Booker was 

 a most acceptable host. There was no business session in connection 

 with the affair, the members looking over the big farm before the repast, 

 and sitting in front of a wood Are after it and talking about things In 

 general. The dinner was undoubtedly a red letter event in the calendar 

 of the Hardwood Club. 



Collections are reported by lumbermen to be considerably Improved. 

 This is one of the best indications of better business that could be found, 

 as money has been hard to get until recently. Buyers are now dis- 

 counting their bills more regularly, and the general feeling is one of 

 confidence. 



Edtienne Stemmclen, who has been a member of the local hardwood 

 trade for some time, is doing business at present uBfler the name of 

 the Stemmelen Lumber Company. Mr. Stemmelen reports that he has
