HARDWOOD RECORD 



The Campbell Lumber Company, wbicb has offices in the new Bank 

 of Commerce building, St. Louis, and which sustained a loss of $D0,000 

 by fire at its sawmill in Kennett, Mo., a" few days ago, is said to be one 

 of the largest hardwood sawmills in the state. It had a capacity of 

 65,000 feet daily. Only $18,000 insurance was carried. The power plant, 

 planing mill and lumber sheds were saved. The plant will be rebuilt

The E. Connor Lumber Company has closed a most successful logging 

 season and expects one of the busiest sawing seasons in its history. 

 Despite the brief season the logging of the Ave camps totaled a cut of 

 15,738,480 feet of timber, the largest part of which was shipped to the 

 company's mill at Stratford over the Marathon County railway. In 

 addition to this cut the company has purchased about two million feet 

 of lumber from farmers. 



Logging operations on Madeline Island have closed for the season with 

 an output of 2,400,000 feet of hemlock, birch, basswood, maple, oak, 

 cedar and black ash logs. Olof G. Anderson operated the camp on the 

 Island, which has been logged for half a century. Although it was 

 expected that this would be the last season on the island, Mr. Anderson 

 has 800,000 feet of hardwood timber which will be logged next winter. 

 The last pine disappeared nearly twenty years ago. 



With the beginning of operations at the sawmills in 'Washburn, a busy 

 sawing season as well as bright business prospects are anticipated. The 

 Stearns Lumber Company is receiving the largest part of its logs for 

 the local mill from Michigan points, which are being manufactured under 

 the supervision of Supt. Moore. Log rafts are also arriving at the mill 

 of the Sprague Lumber Company from Raspberry Bay and a good supply 

 will keep the mill running for a long time. 



The log hauler of the Holt Lumber Company which got beyond control 

 of the operator last winter and was severely damaged in rolling downhill, 

 is being repaired at the plant of the Phoenix Manufacturing Company at 

 Eau Claire and will be ready for use shortly. 



An electric trolley system on the tram ways through the yards is the 

 latest addition of modern improvements instituted by the Park Falls 

 Lumber Company at the lumber yards in Park Falls. Standard gauge 

 tracks with forty pound steel rails will be laid through the yards. The 

 equipment will include two large electric trolley locomotives and cars 

 with a capacity of two of the present small tram cars. 



The officers and directors of the Kenfield-Lamoreaux Lumber Company 

 of Washburn have decided to erect a modern and up-to-date box factory in 

 that city. For some time the matter has been under consideration and 

 it has now been definitely decided to build at Washburn. The plant will 

 be electrically operated and give employment to about fifty men. The 

 Kenfield-Lamoreaux company now operates a crating factory and sawmill 

 In this city, besides plants at Bemidji and Cass Lake, Minn. 



The Carbolineum Company, manufacturing wood preserving products 

 at Milwaukee, will erect a brick and concrete addition to its plant on 

 Prairie street, between Fifth and Sixth streets. The addition will be 

 three stories and basement and have ground dimensions of 50x150 feet. 



Harry E. Hansen, treasurer of the Wisconsin Wagon Company, Madison, 

 died April 22 at Milwaukee as the result of pneumonia. Mr. Hansen 

 was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christian Hansen of Madison. His father is 

 president and his brother secretary of the Wisconsin Wagon Company. 

 Mr. Hansen is survived by his wife. He was thirty-seven years old. 



Oshkosh-made goods may play an important part in the service of the 

 United States government If the Mexican war becomes a reality. The 

 Oshkosh Manufacturing Company has an order to furnish 3,500 lance 

 poles for field telegraph work, which are for temporary use in establishing 

 communication between the line of battle and the outer world in time 

 of war. 



Friends of WilUam H. Upham, lumberman and former governor of 

 Wisconsin, will be pleased to learn that Mr. Upham has regained his 

 health by his trip on many thousand miles on rivers, lakes and the 

 Atlantic. Mr. Upham left last fall from his home in Marshfleld on board 

 of his especially constructed yacht. Comrade, passing down the Mississippi, 

 into the Gulf of Mexico and returning by way of the ocean and the 

 Great Lakes. In a recent letter from Moorhead, N. C. Mr. Upham told of 

 his good health and that he was on his way to New York on the return 

 trip.

The Hardwood Market 



-■< CHICAGO >- 



Continued depression exists in the local market on account of the 

 absence of any settlement of the brick handlers strike, which has been 

 going on here for sometime. It seems a pity that the idleness of a 

 small branch of the total labor factor should so successfully tie up the 

 entire building industry, but this condition is a fact which is only too 

 evident. Various efforts have been made to get the contending parties 

 together, but so far they have been unsuccessful, and as a result the 

 condition is about in the same shape as it was two weeks ago.
