To the Owner of 

 Timber Lands 



Far sighted owners of timber 

 lands will take advantage of the 

 times, incident to the European 

 wars, and prepare themselves for 

 the day when the demand for tim- 

 ber is suddenly thrust upon them. 

 It is certain to come at no distant 

 time. Therefore the wise man will 

 cultivate a closer acquaintance with 

 his holdincs and the hest method 

 of marketing them. Guessing on 

 the quality and price will only lead 

 to complications and possible fail- 

 ure. Let us prepare the way for you. 



Remember, we not only report 

 with absolute accuracy, but assist 

 in selling your property, if desired.

The L. H. Shepard Company of Huston made an a«signnient Inst week. 

 I'lreeted by one of the best-known luinliermen of thia section of the country, 

 •Lindsay" Shepard, this concern has iiiaintnioed n good standing sinoo the 

 dissolution of Hie old ShepnrdFarnier Company, but It is reimrted that 

 the strain of carrying affairs tlirough this period of almost complete 

 cessation ot deliveries was greater than could be met: hence the necessary

.lolin L. .Mioek of John L. Alcock & Co., has gone to the Pacific coast to 

 -II' what the chances are for getting quantities of spruce for the foreign 

 market. It is expected that he will make arrangements for such ghipmcuta 

 i-ither by way of the Panama canal or overland and across the Atlantic. 

 .Spruce has been In considerable demand for some time iinst, this wood, 

 it is said, being used In the construction of aeroplanes. 



The seriousness of the car shortage in this section of the country wag 

 Ml tested In the visit liere on .January cf a delegation from the Lumber- 

 men's .Vssociation of central West Virginia. The delegation called to ace 

 Vice-President Thompson of the Hallliiiore & Ohio, with reference to the 

 mutter, and besought his good offices to afford relief. The delegation 

 included H. It. Curtiii of the Pardee & Curtin Lumlier Company, Clarks- 

 burg ; S. L. liiehards, vice-president of the Fenwick Lumber Company, 

 I'enwick, and J. W. Itrewster of the Sun Lumlier Company. Weston. All 

 ihrec ot these mill men stated that they were being much enibnrrnssed 

 in the conduct of tlielr business by Inaliliity to get cars for making shlp- 

 inii'.ts. and they also emphasized the difficulties of forwarding consignments 

 111 northeastern territory by reason of the domestic embargo around New 

 'I iirk and other centers. Mr. Thompson promised to do what he could to 

 Mid Ihe trade. 



Tbos. H. Mason, n millman of Abingdon, Va., was In Baltimore about 

 tlic same time to look after some of his foreign shipments, concerning 

 which he has had troubie like other exporters. Mr. Mason, while here, 

 called nt the plant of Ihe Wiliiamson Veneer Company in Ilighlnndtown, 

 and took over some thirty-six Inrge walnut logs for a foreign order. 



The value of the buildings erected nud Hie extensions and alterations 

 made in Baltimore during the past year proved to be smaller than had 

 been anticipated, the delleiency being due to a let-down in the latter part 

 of Hie year. The total Is set down in the report of the building inspector 

 at ^ll,774,."'i:2. which fails below 1914 by perhaps $4,000.1)00. But 

 account must be taken of the large omount of construction work carried 

 on in the Immediate vicinity of Baltimore, which really belongs to the 

 city and .should be credited to it. In the Curtis Bay section alone 

 structures Valued at something like ?5.000,ooO went up. and other areas 

 are expected to increase this to jierhaps .«10.000,000. With a fair allow- 

 ance made for this building, Baltimore has come out quite well notwlth- 

 stauding the quiet that prevailed during a part of the year.
