A banquet will be given by thp Lumbermen's Club of St. Louis on 

 Wednesday evening, October liO. at the Mercantile Club. It will be 

 known as home-coming meeting of the Lumi)ermen's Club. 



.411 the signatures have been secured to the revised rules and by-laws 

 of the I^urabermen's Exchange and the attorne.v who has the matter in 

 charge has filed w.ith th'e St. Louis circuit court, an application for a 

 decree of amended articles of incorporation. The lumbermen's greater 

 exchange will then be ready to t)e launched. 



A meeting of the Lumbermen's E.^change was held the latter part of 

 September for the purpose of considering the reclassification of lumber 

 as the Interstate Commerce Commission proposes. The meeting was pre- 

 sided over by Geo. E. W. Luehrmann and there were about a dozen con- 

 cerns represented at the meeting. The seventeen questions asked by the 

 commission were read but they were thought too complicated to be 

 answered off-hand, so Secretary Dodd of the exchange was asked to make 

 copies and mail them to the members. 



During the meeting V. W. Kratft of the National Slack Cooperage 

 Manufacturers' Association explained the results of the meeting of the 

 National Lu'mber Manufacturers' Association held in Chicago, Septem- 

 ber 15.

W. S. Edler of Brownsville, Tenn., has Just completed a new hickory 

 mill about fifteen miles south of Sheridan, Grant county. Ark. The new 

 mill, which has a dally capacity of 15,000 feet, gives employment to 

 twenty-five men, and manufactures automobile spokes and carriage parts. 

 Mr. Edler and his family are now living in Pine Bluff, Ark. 



J. T. Knowles and his associates, representing the Pioneer Pole and 

 Shaft Company, were in Arkadelphia, Ark., last week with teams and 

 men to rebuild the company's hardwood mill on Decelper lake. They 

 will also build a new mill on the Ouachita river. They expect to have 

 both plants running on full schedule in a short time. 



W. B. Ghent of I'angborn, .\rk., has shipped a large number of staves 

 from Pangburn during the past thirty days. 



=-< MILWAUKEE >■- 



The Wisconsin Paper linx Company of Milwaukee, which was adjudi- 

 cated bankrupt recently, has filed its schedule, listing its liabilities at 

 $36,004.47 and its assets at $GL'.002.42. Machinery and insurance make, 

 up a big portion of the assets. 



The A. F. Rusch Company has been Incorporated at Wabeno, Wis., 

 with a capital stock of $100,000 for the purpose of engaging in logging 

 and lumbering. The incorporators are Ferdinand O., Adolph E. and 

 Meta Rusch. 



The J. S. Stearns Lumber Company has taken off the night shift from 

 its sawmill at Odanah. Wis., due to a shortage of logs. Practically all 

 the river logs are cut and the hauling of hemlock logs is proceeding 

 slowly. It is understood that the company will soon resume operations 

 at its mill at Washburn, Wis. 



The firm of Druley & Thornington. a hoop manufacturing concern of 

 Shawano, Wis., has been dissolved, Mr. Druley selling his interests to 

 Mr. Chase. It is understood that the company is buying a large stock 

 of timber. 



The O. & N. Lumber Company has been incorporated at Eau Claire. 

 Wis., with a capital stock of $100,000 by J. T. Barber, S. G. Moon and 

 J. S. Owen. 



The manufacture of wall paper out of the waste hark of spruce trees has 

 been successfully worked out by the Forest Products Laboratory at Madi- 

 son, Wis. Heretofore, this bark, which has been of no u.se for fuel, 

 has been thrown into the rivers, but later, when this was prohibited, it 

 has accumulated around the sawmills. It is said that an advantage of 

 the paper made from bark is that it requires but little dye. 



The Paulson Lumber Company of Evansville, Wis., sustained a loss of 

 between .f20.000 and $25,000 recently, when fire destroyed its stock and 

 yards. The lime house was saved, but the office was badly damaged. In- 

 surance of $13,000 was carried. The company will rebuild on a much 

 larger scale. 



The records of the Bradley Company and the various companies in 

 which the Bradley people were interested have been shipped from Toma- 

 hawk. Wis., to the main offices in New York. With the closing down 

 of th4 sawmill and planing mill, owned by the Tomahawk Lumber Com- 

 pany, in 1913, most of the Bradley activities in Tomahawk ceased, 

 although the company has maintained an office there up to this time. 

 William. Henry Bradley erected his first sawmill at Tomahawk in 18S7, 

 and was a man of wealth and power in Tomahawk until his death in 1903. 



It is said that the Fountain-Campbell Lumber Company has decided to 

 abandon Donald, Wis., the seat of its lumber activities for several years. 

 and is considering Chippewa Falls as a possible location. The company 

 has about 50,000,000 feet of standing timber which will be cut and 

 shipped to the new mill when located. 



Lumber shipments to the Milwaukee port have been increasing of late, 

 according to Mark L. Simpson, lumber broker of this city, who says that 

 the demand for lumber is much stronger than it has been all the season. 

 The railroads have not been buying lumber very extensively during the 

 present season, according to Mr. Simpson, but he is of the opinion that 

 when they resume activities, the lumber industry on the lakes will advance 

 rapidl.v.
