With the approach of the dry season the large land companies in this 

 section are taking steps to prevent forest fires. The government is 

 assisting and has just put to work several patrolmen for the government 

 forests east of Bristol.

 yards ready to be cut. 



The Kingsport Lumber Company is preparing to operate on a lar;;er

 new rates become effective December 4. The advance indicated is one 

 cent. It is believed that the commission will suspend the supplement until 

 shippers affected have a chance to state their side of the case. 



The matter of reeonsignment in transit, which has been agitating 

 lumbermen in Louisville since the Louisville & Nashville abolished the 

 privilege, has not yet been finally disposed of, but it has been indicated 

 That the L. t& N. will permit this to be done hereafter on payment of a 

 charge of $5 per car. This policy has recently been adopted by the 

 Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, a Louisville & Nashville subsidiary. 

 Lumbermen in Cincinnati and elsewhere have been working with those in 

 Louisville to put the change over. 



The sawmill of the C. C. Mengel & Bro. Company, which has not been 

 operating for several months, was started up again last week. The 

 company got in another cargo of mahogany logs recently, and also has a 

 big stock of walnut on hand. The dimension mill will have to be operated 

 at night hereafter on account of the big development of business for this 

 department. The general improvement in the lumber trade has included 

 maho.s^any, and the demand for both lumber and veneers has been much 

 better than heretofore. 



State Forester J. K. Barton has indicated in his annual report, which 

 has been sent to the printer and will be submitted to the legislature when 

 it meets in January, the sort of legislation which he believes should be 

 enacted in connection with forestry work. He suggests that lands which 

 are being reforested be taxed lightly, to encourage their use for this 

 purpose, and also that a larger sum be provided for co-operative work 

 with the federal government. In his report Mr. Barton sets forth the 

 work which has been done at the nurseries in Louisville and Frankfort. 

 Two acres in the form of seed beds will be added this fall to the Louisville 

 nursery, which at present has a stock of 53.000 seedlings and transplants 



My books are open to 

 prove that every one of the 

 below logs with similar 

 pile immediately behind is 



Real Indiana White Oak 



The two piles contain 100,000 feet and not a log is 

 under 24 inches. No other oak ever went through 

 my mill. 



Of course it is to my interest to get the highest 

 quality of lumber and veneer (hence greatest re- 

 turn) out of such raw material. 



Experienced buyers will need no further 

 reason why they should at least get in touch 

 with ine.
