A. U. McLouRhlln, buyer for tirlmwood & Illnton, hardwood lumber 

 munufncturers, haa been cleeted a member of the EvanavlUc Lumber- 

 men's Club. 



IC. S. U'lliirn of the Kvaoavllle Snsh Jt Door Compiiny reports the local 

 trade with the snsh and door dealers much better than It was this time 

 last year. Tbe out of town trade has been picking up a great deal, 

 too. 



During the past two weeks tbe river mills have been getting a go<Ml 

 mouy logii from along Green and Iliirren rivers In western Kentucky. 



.< MEMPHIS >- 



Amontj Ihc larger inlllH In this Beetlon which have resumed operations 

 since tbe overllow of the MIsslsHlppl and Its tributaries Is tbe Lamb-Fish 

 Lumber Company nt Charleston, .\1Ik.s. This firm startiHl Its machinery the 

 middle of the jiust week and Is now turning ou' approximately I'.'S.OOO feet 

 of lumber per day. It Is bringing out timber as fast as conditions will per- 

 mit and. ns soon as It has Recurc<l a Mufllclent supply to Justify It. It pro- 

 poses to run both night and day. Some of the other mills outside of Mem- 

 phis have started up their machlmr.v aealn and Indications are that pro- 

 duction will steadily Increase If the weather does not become so unfavorable 

 as to greatly restrict the amount of timber obtainable. 



The foreman of the box factory of the AnderBon-Tully ComiMiny at 

 Vlcksburg has left Memphis. When the plant of the Arm at that point 

 was forced to close down on account of high water he came to MemphU 

 and operated tbe local box plant at night to take care of orders properly 

 belonging to the Vlcksburg olllce. lie has, however, started the plant at 

 the latter point and this Is running both night and day. The sawmill 

 (if the Andcrson-Tully Company at Vlcksburg has also resumeil, as has tbe 

 sawmill of the same firm at Memphis. The sawmill and box factory of 

 Moore & McFerren In North Memphis have also resumed and are now work- 

 ing as fast as the supply of raw material will permit. Some of the other 

 box manufacturing companies In this part of the country have niso been able 

 to start up their machinery again. Box business has been extremely active 

 throughout this section since early last summer, and there are enough 

 orders In sight now to enable the box manufacturers to keep their machin- 

 ery going at full capacity for quite a while. 



M. B. Cooper, sales manager of the Three .States Lumber Company, with 

 headquarters nt Memphis, Is authority for tbe statement that the saw- 

 mill of this firm, which was recently destroyed by fire at Burdette, Ark., 

 will be rebuilt as quickly as possible. The burned mill was a double band 

 one and ot very large capacity. It Is stated that the new mill will be of 

 even larger capacity and also more modem as to equipment. It will re- 

 quire some time for tbe replacing of this structure. The cause of tbe Are 

 has not been given nor has an estimate of the loss been made. 



James R. Blair, who has recently been aBsoclate<l with R. J. Darnell, 

 Inc., at Iceland, Ml.ss., has accepted a position with Geo. C. Brown & Co. 

 This firm has Its offices In Memphis and its mill at Proctor, Ark. Mr. Blair 

 Is one of the best known of tbe younger lumbermen In this section, and 

 Geo. C. Brown & Co. consider themselves fortunate In having been able 

 t» secure his services. Mr. Blair came from Providence, R. I., to take 

 charge of the Crittenden Lumber Company at Earle, Ark. He held that 

 position for about five years when he went with R. J. Darnell, Inc. 



Unusual developments arc taking place Just across the river from Mem- 

 phis. A townsltc has been laid out for "West Memphis." Wm. L. John- 

 son, Memphis, and G. T. Kendal, Grand Rapids, Mich., have laid off 

 1.250 acres of land Into town sites, and the Earle Cooperage Company haa 

 completed a $60,000 plant, a double knife stave mill, and a modern saw- 

 mill. This firm recently secured about 10,000 acres ot tlmbcrlands Id 

 Crittenden county and It will give employment by April 1 to approximately 

 170 men. It is estimated that $150,000 has been spent In building up 

 this new town, and R. E. Montgomery of the Lee Lumber Company has tbe 

 contract for a twenty-room hotel and a number of stores and residences. 

 West Memphis has been coming Into increased prominence ever since the 

 decision of the Rock Island to build a new bridge across the river here. 

 The town Is located within a short distance from tbe big freight yards and 

 shops of the Rock Island at Burlburt, Ark., and there are other large In- 

 dustries seeking location in that vicinity. 



The Standard Lumber Company has been organized at Pine Bluff, Ark., 

 with a capital stock of $100,000 and with tbe following officers and stock- 

 holders : President, R. Camahan ; vice-president, W. C. Hudson ; and
