One Large User Writes: 



Gentlemen: We are certain- 

 ly pleased to recommend your 

 Uosser. First, a great saving 

 to saw; second, saving in 

 filing room: third, better 

 grade of lumber. From the 

 spot the gravel is struclt. we 

 only got bad lumber and used 

 excessive power. Since our 

 logs mostly come to us by 

 rail we get the beneflt of the 

 grit and gravel from these 

 cars. We could not do with- 

 out this improvement, and 

 wish to say it's a great sav- 

 ing of time and labor, and 

 can heartily recommend same 

 to any saw mill owner.

Binns Goes with Felger 

 The Felger Timber and Lumber Company of Grand Rapids has increased 

 its sales force by the addition of Don K. Binns. a hardwood specialty 

 man. Mr. Binns spent several years as a manufacturer of hardwood in 

 the south and comes to the Felger company with many years of special 

 training in the line which he will now follow. He will handle that line 

 of the business in Michigan and northern Indiana. He is now living in 

 this city and is well known as a capable salesman. 



Only Two More Log Drives 



Old style logging methods are passing away on the Menominee river, 

 according to figures and announcements published at a recent meeting of 

 the Menominee River Boom Company at Menominee, Mich. 



Including the season just closed and from 1.S6.S there were 10,794,- 

 749,178 feet of timber sent down the Mei'ominee river. The largest single 

 year for the boom company was 1889, when 642.137,318 feet floated to 

 mills in Menominee and Marinette. The smallest year was 1014, when 

 but 22,734.190 feet of logs were shipped down the river. Last year there 

 was a small spurt over 1914 and 23,.574,222 feet of logs came down the 

 river. 



With the falling off of river logging there has, of course, been a great 

 increase in rail shipments of logs. There will be only two more log 

 drives on the river from present indications, one this year and the last 

 one in 1917. 



I'"ormer Sinator Isaac Stephenson was re-elected president of the boom 

 company. Other olBcers, all of them re-elected, are : Vice-president, 

 Robert F. Goodman, Marinette; treasurer, H. J. Brown, Marinette; secre- 

 tary, F. C. Burke. 



D. A. Spies, Menominee, was elected a director of the boom company 

 (0 succeed Augustus Spies, his father, who died recently. Other directors 

 are : Isaac Stephenson, R. F, Goodman, H. A. J. Upham, Milwaukee ; 

 Grant Stephenson, Milwaukee, and .7. A. Van Cleve. 



Big West Virginia Timber Deal 



A large timber and land d'nl was cunsuiiimated in central West Vir- 

 ginia recently when C. E, Mollohan of Heaters, Braxton county. West 

 Virginia, representing the owners, sold to the Birch Valley Lumber Com- 

 pany the plant and timber holdings of the Tioga Lumber Company and 

 the timber on 1,500 acres adjoining. Much of the land lies on Anthony 

 and Poplar creeks, in Nicholas county. The Birch Valley Lumber Com- 

 pany was chartered recently with a capital stock of $600,000, the in- 

 corporators being C. W. Ansler, Clarion. Pa. ; .1. C. Campbell, Marion, 

 Va. ; W. S. Burger, Cumberland, Md. ; E. L. Robins, Dobbin, W. Va., 

 and Stanley Manners, Scranton, Pa. 



Timber Resources to Be Tapped 

 The building of a twelve-mile railroad as a feeder for the Chesapeake 

 & Ohio in southern West Virginia will tap a region rich in timber and 

 coal. The line will follow Pond fork of Coal river. There has been some 

 logging carried on in this district in the past, but the development of the 

 timber resources will begin with the completion of the branch road. The 

 contract for its building has been let to Board & Duffield of Charleston, 

 W. Va.

 mill No. 9. This plant has a daily capacity of 50,000 feet of flooring. 

 It is equipped with the latest improved hardwood flooring machinery, and 

 is manufacturing the "HHEI" quality brand oak flooring in -ft" square 

 edge, and %", %" and U" tongued and grooved flooring, to the entire 

 satisfaction of a large list of customers. 



This plant has been running full time all through the depression 

 brought about by the European war, and is now thirt.v days behind on 

 orders, which is a remarkable record, considering the fact that it has 

 been running only about two years. This not only shows the efficiency
