It. .\. McCowen, wlwi is inti'rcsted in the Penrod-Jurden-McCowen Lumber 

 iimipany of Kansas City, which is just completing the construction of a big 

 mill at Brasfleld, Ark., to take the place of the plant which was burned 

 several months ago. said last week that the mill is ready to begin saw- 

 ing. X record Job of reconstruction was carried out in building the mill. 



The C. C. Mengel & Bro. Company Is one of the few concerns which 

 is going ahead with its export business without letting the war inter- 

 fere seriously. It shipped a cargo of mahogany logs from its Belize. 

 British Honduras, plant last week consigned to Liverpool. The ship 

 which is handling the logs is flying the Union .Tack, and Secretary Wick- 

 nCFe and other officers of the company still think there will be no diffl- 

 .eulty about getting the cargo safely to port. 



H. A. McCowen & Co. have sold that part of their property lying north 

 ot Davies avenue, which is being used as a lumber yard by the Ohio 

 River Sawmill Company, to the Standard Sanitary Manufacttiring Com- 

 pany of Pittsburgh, wliich has a plant in Louisville. The Ohio River 

 Sawmill Company will continue to make use of this property and its 

 office will continue where it is for at least another year, after which the

C. C. .Tackson, commissary manager for the Grayson-McLeod Lumber 

 Company ot Craysnn, .\rk., was in Louisville last week attending the 

 annual cnnv.nlinii i.i ilir Nutional Commissary Managers' Association, of 

 which III is [Ml si. ii 111 Ml liiikson was Interviewed by the local news- 

 papers ii-,ii,iiir^ ih. Ill I I wliieh the war will likely have on business. 

 and gavr s.nn. iniinsiiiu nl. as about the proposition. He said that 

 while the demand fur liimlier is doubtless reduced temporarily by the war. 

 its conclusion will be followed by a great expansion in the demand. 



Edward G. Stemiuelen of the Stemmelen Lumber Company, reports the 

 removal of the company's office to the Keller building, where it was for- 

 merly located, and the discontinuance of the operation of a yard on the 

 Point. 



"Point" lumbermen and veneer manufacturers have been advised that 

 the government does not look favorably on the proposition to build a 

 flood wall about that section, and that the city will have to finance the 

 improvement, which would involve an expense ,ot .several million dollars. 



Lumbermen who have examined the statistics regarding lumber exports, 

 have called attention to the fact that the purchases of Germany and 

 Austria, which are the only European countries which will be entirely 

 cut off on account of the war. are insignificant compared with the rest 

 of the world. England leads in the export trade, and will be able to 

 get lumber. South America has been increasing its purchases, and is 

 expected to enlarge them still further. The Louisville Board of Trade will 

 have an open meeting of business men in the near future for the purpose 

 of considering the possibility of increasing the export trade. C. C. 

 Mengel. president of the Mengel Box Company and vice-president of the 

 C. C. Mengel & Bro. Company, is chairman of the committee in charge of 

 the meeting. A good many local lumbermen are preparing to curtail 

 operations, but owing to the fact that a good supply of logs has been 

 cut and delivered at the mills, it will probably be difficult to close down 

 immediately. 



Panel factories in this territory are taking advantage of the temporary 

 lull in the hardwood business to buy wormy chestnut in large lots. This 

 staple commodity is selling at somewhat lower prices than heretofore, and 

 the panel men believe that it is an excellent buy at the price, especially as 

 it is getting' scarcer all the time. It Is the ideal corestock, and those 

 who ■.in- liii.\ in- ii up feel that it is mighty good material to have around. 

 The .1, |i. lln^lhs Lumber Company of High Bridge, Ky., whose saw- 

 mill was nil 111 l\ I'lirned, has begun the work of reconstruction. The 

 new mill. whiLl. will be the same size as the old plant, will cost about 

 120,000. 



State Forester J. E. Barton has completed a trip to the Eastern Ken- 

 tucky mountains in regard to the establishment of the Federal forest 

 reserve there. Mine operators have promised to give a lot of land tor 

 this purpose, retaining the mineral rights, of course.

 after much argument the reciprocal demurrage rule, and will in the future

 after the expiration ot reasonable time for making shipments.
