niuiiths and while most of the logs have been cut for Evansville concerns^ 

 a few of them have been sent to Owensboro, Ky., and other points. Dur- 

 ing the bad winter weather the loggers along Green river will lessen their 

 activities. For a half century most of the log supply for the Evansville 

 mills came from the Green river country and there is still considerable 

 timber to be found in that section. 



LOUISVILLE 



J. Van Norman, Louisville attorney representing the Southern Hardwood 

 Traffic Association, is in Washington in connection with appearing before 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission in connection with the formal hear- 

 ing of the Milling in Transit Case of the Louisville lumbermen. The 

 Louisville & Nashville granted some privileges several weeks ago, but 

 refused to grant the planing in transit privilege, which was one of the 

 requests in the formal complaint. Mr. Norman will also attend the meet- 

 ing of the National Rivers & Harbors Congress, having been one of several 

 men appointed to attend by Gov. E. P. Morrow of Kentucky. 



Daniel Wertz of Maley-Wertz Lumber Company. Evansville, in a recent 

 talk before the board of directors of the Indiana Hardwood Manufacturers* 

 Association at Indianapolis stated that he believed that all lumber plants 

 should continue in operationj and that through keeping industry going 

 it would be possible to dispose of more material, and this would result in 

 a more gradual decline in values along with wages. Several Louisville mill 

 concerns have been endeavoring to follow that policy, and have been 

 operating their mills steadily but on a smaller capacity basis. 



The Holly Kidge Lumber Company. Louisville, and Chess & Wymond 

 Company have been figuring on drill testing in Louisiana, where the 

 companies have big timber and cut over lands, with the hope of striking 

 some real oil. This came out on Dec. 4, when suits were filed against 

 E. J. Buckingham. San .\ntonio. Tex., and H. D. Critchfield, Chicago, and 

 the American Surety Company, which bonded the contract. The lumber, 

 companies sued for .$5,000 damages, the amount of the bond. The con- 

 tracts were for one well to have started on June 1, 1920, and the second 

 on Sept. 1. The contractors failed to start work. 



The I. H. Wilcox Lumber Company. Louisville, which recently lost its 

 mill at Burdette, Miss., by fire, has not definitely decided just what it will 

 do. The company will rebuild its plant, but just when is a question. 

 George Wilcox returned a few days ago after spending ten days at the mill. 



The Navco Hardwood Company. Louisville, turned its new mill near 

 Mobile, Ala., over for the first time on Dec. 2, and has half a raillion feet 

 of logs (eighty per cent gum) on its yards, and expects to start cutting 

 at once. 



A three-story warehouse building has been completed by the Southern 

 Veneer Manufacturing Coiupany, Louisville, this building having 15,000 

 square feet of floor space, and equipped with a sprinkler system. The 

 company operates a distributing warehouse at Grand Rapids. George F. 

 Kretschraer, Sr.. president of the company, is just back from a trip to 

 Grand Rapids, and reported very fair prospects. 



R. R. May of the R. R. May Hardwood Company. Louisville, reportetl 

 that while business wasn't rushing he was getting a very fair run and felt 

 well satisfied with results considering existing conditions, Mr. May is 

 quite optimistic concerning the outlook after the first of the year. 



J. L. Dawson of the J. L. Dawson Lumber Company has been very much 

 on the jump for the past several weeks, having spent some weeks in 

 California, and having been busy calling on Central district customers 

 since his return from the West. Dawson is full of pep, although he reports 

 that it is necessary just now to call on reserve pep to sell some of the 

 "hard-boiled" buyers. 



Edward L. DavLs of the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company has been 

 South for several days past, returning early this week, after dropping In at 

 the company's mills and other points. 



W. H. Day of the Wood-Mosaic Company reported that the Louisville 

 and Now Albany mills were running on a very fair schedule, and that 

 while local stocks were beginning to get heavy, the company had reason 

 to believe that business In the spring would require a good deal of material. 



J. S. Thompson, manager of the Louisville division of the Southern 

 Hardwood Traffic Association, announced on Monday that the Louisville 

 Terminal Committee, of which he is chairman, has been dissolved by 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission, it having completed its work. Mr. 

 Thompson also announced a reduction of three to seven cents a hundred in 

 rates on hardwood from CampbellsTille. Ky., to the Carolinas, in behalf of 

 J. V. Stimson & Company, Owensboro, with mills also at Campbellsville. 



At the last meeting of the Louisville Hardwood Club heads of some 

 of the local companies were taken to task for failure to appear at meetings 

 themselves, always sending representatives, who are not always well quali- 

 fied to present the real opinion of employers in discussions that are steadily 

 coming up. An effort will be made to get more active company heails to 

 attend the weekly meetings. 



WISCONSIN 



The Crookston Lumber Company of LaCrosse has amended its corporate 

 articles to provide for an increase in the authorized capitalization from 

 $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. The purpose of the new issue is to accommodate 

 the ex.pans.ion of the business in the past year or two.
