"Lumber Industry — Fart IV" 



The forogoiug title is given to n publication of 933 pages Issued by the 

 Bureau of Coriioratlons at ^Vashlnglon, and for sale by the Government 

 Printing Offlco at ?1.50 per copy. Persons with fairly good memories may 

 recall the fact that work was commenced on an Investigation of the lumber 

 Industry some years ago. The present output Is the fourth volume, and at 

 I'ast one more Is promised. The present book Is somewhat disappointing 

 t'l those who expected It to contain Interesting reading or pertinent facta. 

 H is padded with voluminous tables, charts, and lists which have very little 

 ! iaetlcal meaning for anybody. It Is to be regretted that so much work 

 ' "iikl not have produced somelhlns usefui. 



Iiumbermen Win Long Suit 



Michigan lumbermen have apparently won n legal battle of live years'

The railroad Immediately took the case Into the courts and successfully 

 dragged It out for five years. What move It will make now to evade giving 

 the lumbermen a fair deal Is unknown. The road has a petition In the 

 United States supreme court asking an Injunction to prevent the State 

 Railroad Commission from putting lower rates on logs Into effect, but the
