and state forestry work, but also many of th< 

 most influential men in the railroad, lumber, 

 agricultural, grazing, mining and other leading 

 industries. Taken all together, it was the mosf 

 influential gathering that has met in Washing- 

 ton in years. 



The volume of proceedings contains in full the 

 sixty-one papers and addresses delivered at the 

 congress, and becomes the most comprehensive 

 work dealing with the American forest and 

 forestry problems extant. It is of decided value 

 to the profession of forestry, the business man. 

 and the student of forestry problems, and de- 

 serves a careful reading by every thoughtful per- 

 son, and a place in the library of every man 

 who is interested in the economic subjects of 

 this great nation. 



The book is published by the H. X 1 . Suter 

 Publishing Company, 510 Twelfth street, N. W., 

 Washington, D. C, and can be obtained from 

 that company, postpaid, at $1.25 per copy. 



Litigation Ended. 



Referring to the account of litigation between 

 P. E. Whiting and W. S. Whiting, of Eliza- 

 bethton, Tenn., and N. B. Bradley & Sons, of 

 Bay City, Mich., over the affairs of the Whiting 

 Lumber Company, of Elizabethton, as previous- 

 ly recounted in the Habdwood Record, it can 

 be authoritatively stated that all differences 

 between the parties named have been amicably 

 adjusted. The bill filed in chancery asking for 

 a receivership has been dismissed. By the 

 terms of the agreement N. B. Bradley & Sons 

 become the owners of the Whiting Lumber Com- 

 pany properties, and all the equity of F. R. 

 and W. S. Whiting has been satisfied. 



It is announced that N. B. Bradley & Sons 

 will put the plant into active operation at 

 once, will increase its output, and thus give 

 employment to many men about the sawmill 

 and planing mill plant at Elizabethton, as well 

 as in the woods. 



F. R. Whiting will continue his connection 

 with the Janney-Whiting Lumber Company, of 

 Philadelphia, the well-known hardwood jobbing 

 house, and also his interest with his brother, 

 W. S. Whiting, in the Whiting Manufacturing 

 Company, manufacturers of hardwood and 

 white pine lumber at Elizabethton. The parties 

 involved are to be congratulated on the speedy 

 settlement of the differences which have arisen 

 between them. 



New Filing Boom Machine. 



The Uanchett Swage Works, of Big Rapids, 

 Mich., the well known manufacturers of filing 

 room machinery, is placing upon the market an 

 automatic band saw sharpening machine which 

 the manufacturers allege is a very pronounced 

 improvement in this class of filing room ma- 

 chinery. They claim it is the product of twen- 

 ty years of practical experience in sawmills 

 and the construction of machinery for all 

 classes of saw sharpening. It is by no means 

 an experimental machine, as its ability to do su- 

 perior work has been amply demonstrated in 

 some of the best band mills in the country. 



The mechanism of the machine for the most 

 part is altogether different from that of any 

 other designed for the purpose, and its sim- 

 plicity will recommend it to the average saw- 

 mill man. It is compact, solid, strong and is 

 not shipped from the factory until it has been 

 thoroughly tested. Where specifications and 

 templet of teeth accompany the order the ma- 

 chine will be accurately adjusted to meet the 

 requirements. 



The Hanchett Swage Works will be grateful 

 for inquiries concerning this new machine, and 

 Will cheerfully, supply full information and prices 

 upon application.
