The Louisville & Nanhvlllp, wlilcb hng b.i'n a buEbPur for thP lumbpr 

 trodp locally for many ypnrB on account of Its tendency to mak.' arbitrary 

 ruUnns without conHUltlnii the eonvenlonco or desires of Hhlppers In any 

 dpRrec, has Just announced that roconslfimnient In transit will no lonp'r 

 be permitted. The nnnouncpraent was not loudly made, bowevir. and 

 some of the sblppers found it out only when they dlscoviTed that recon 

 sidnment orders were not being observed, and that the local rate to the 

 new destination would have to be paid where reconslgnmint was de- 

 sired. Cincinnati lumbermen have objected to this, as well as those In 

 Louisville, and the clubs of the two cities will In all probability take 

 action along this line In the near future. 



The Louisville Hardwood Club Is again holding Its weekly dinners ai 

 the Seelbach hotel. Tuesday evening Is the time, and visiting lumbermen 

 are always welcome. The meetln(;s arc held In the leather room of the 

 hotel. 



The sawqiill of the Edw. L. Davis Lumber Company Is now operating 

 steadily. The company Is cutting oak, walnut, ash and other timber, and 

 Is accumulating a line stock. C. M. Sears, who has charge of the sales 

 end of the business, has found trade conditions Improved In a largo num- 

 ber of consuming districts. 



Figured gum is getting the call from consumers who are finding It 

 dllTicult to replace their present stocks of Circassiau walnut. A typical 

 e.\ample Is the Inman Furniture Company of lyoulsvllle. which has been 

 featuring the latter wood for a number of years, and Is now In the market 

 for 100.000 feet of veneers. C. W. Inman. president of the company. 

 realizing that long as the war lasts It would be out of the question to 

 continue making large quantities of Circassian furniture, has had a num- 

 ber of new suites designed, and these will be brought out In llcured gum. 

 which has a splendid Hgure which Is much like Circassian. Mr. Inman 

 believes that figured gum will prove popular with many buyers wlio have 

 been using Circassian heretofore. 



The American Walnut .\ssociation, which has its headquarters In 

 Louisville, and is composed of leading walnut lumber manufacturers, has 

 issued an attractive booklet on the subject of walnut, in which Its use 

 in furniture manufacturing. Interior finish, etc.. is described. The booklet 

 Is interestingly illustrated, and lists of prominent buildings in which the 

 wood has Ijeen used are given, as well as the names of furniture manu- 

 facturers who are using It. The walnut trade has had many calls for 

 special Information about Its product, and the booklet Is intended to 

 answer the questions which are likely to be asked on that subject. 



Charles Parish bought 33,000 logs for delivery to the Yellow Poplar 

 Lumber Company at Coal Grove, O., from timber men In Pike county.

 elected vice-president of the Louisville Boat Club, of which ho has been 

 a hading member for a long white, Mr. Milton is an enthusiastic sailor, 

 a splendid swimmer, and an indefatigable oarsman. 



The decline of the ancient industry of floating sawmills Is reported 

 by the license bureau of Louisville, which has not Issued a license for the 

 operation of such a plant In Louisville for eight years. Formerly there 

 was enough buslnes.s to keep numerous sawmills on the Ohio river busy, 

 but now one sees an occasional mill tied up along the Kentucky or some 

 other inland stream, while such plants have practically disappeared from 

 the Ohio. 



The C. C. Mengel & Bro. Company will get two additional cargoes of 

 mahogany logs shortl.v. one frtmi Mexico and the other from Africa, and 

 this will give It a splendid stock of logs with which to moot any emer- 

 gencies. It is practically certain that there is going to be a marked 

 shortage of mahogany In the near future.
