Lumberman's Daughter in Serious Accident 

 Katherlnc Richards, aged ten, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Richards 

 of Memphis, was struck and seriously Injured by an automobile about 

 two weeks ago. The girl was waiting for a street car with her sister and 

 a number of friends to take them to an outing In Overton Park, Memphis. 

 She suddenly ran Into the street, was struck by a machine and burled 

 against the curb, the rc-Jult being a ten-Inch fracture of the ^kull. She 

 wos hurried to the Baptist hospital and operated upon, the outcome being 

 In doubt for several days, but In spite of the serious Injury the last 

 word was that she Is getting along very satisfactorily and that her com- 

 plete recovery Is only a question of time. 



Mr. Ulcbards Is sales manager for J. H. Bonner 4 Sons, Inc. He has 

 many friends In the hardwood tnidc who will be dellghte<l to learn of the 

 fortunate outcome of what promised to be a tragic accident. 



Instructions that Should Be Observed in Shipping Green Stock 

 with tbe advent of tbe warm season It Is necessary to follow careful 

 practice In the shipment of green lumber In order that serious losses may 

 be avoided. One prominent shipper, the BusklrkRutledge Lumber Com- 

 pany, Cincinnati. O., has Issued to mill managers suggestions touching on 

 this point. The suggestion follows : 



During the worm months It will be necessary to place green lumber and 

 wagon material on drj- sticks In the cars or on piles to prevent It from 

 beating, staining, and being damaged In transit. Car doors should be 

 nailed open to permit a free circulation of air.

Utley-HoUoway Mill Starts Cutting 



The accompanying Illustrations show the fine new plant of the Utley- 

 Ilolloway Sawmill Company owned by the principals of the tTtley-HoUo- 

 way Company, Conway building, Chicago. The mill is located at Clayton. 

 La., adjoining a large tract of timber which the company acquired re- 

 cently. The mill has been under construction for a number of months, 

 completion having been delayed by tbe usual difficulties attending such 

 work. 



The company cut a considerable number of logs during the winter and 

 now has about 2,500.000 feet mainly gum and oak, the remainder being 

 ash, elm and other species. Gum predominates, it being said that the 

 timber of this species coming from the company's land Is equal to any 

 from the famous tracts of gum that have gained reputation during re- 

 cent years. .About a million feet of these gum logs have already been 

 cut on adjacent mills and the product runs about thirty-five per cent red. 



The new^ mill is a strictly modern eight-foot band with band resaw and 

 all other up-to-date arrangements. It is estimated that It will turn out 

 close to 75.000 feet a day. 



The mill Is located on the high banks of the Tensas river, and can 

 draw logs both by rail and water, or as a third source of supply can take 

 them across the river from timber areas on the opposite side. For this 

 purpose a giant cableway with two towers, as shown on the Illustration, 

 was constructed and Is now working with remarkable effectiveness. It 

 has recently carried over ino.OOn feet of logs a day. These logs can lie 

 dropped directly on the log deck, thus eliminating added labor. 



The yard Is well laid out and lumber Is now being piled up rapidly. 



W. M. Hopkins, who Is handling the duties of G. H. Holloway, while 

 Mr. Holloway Is with the colors In France, is now in the South where 

 he Is supervising Installation of rail lines to doubly Insure a supply of logs 

 in case low water makes river work Impossible. The company has its own 

 barges and tow boats on the river and with the 1.200 feet cableway and 

 Its rail, log supply will be absolutely insured. 



It may be recalled that the Utley-nolloway Company had a rather ex- 

 tensive assembling yard at Helena. Ark. This was sold a short time ago 

 to the Galloway-Pease Company of Chicago and Saginaw. Mich. 

 Organizes Natchez Lumber Company
