 lined up, .ind Louisville Klven an even break with Clnrlnnatl, but 

 udvantuKe was also taken uf the opportunity to revise rotes upward. 

 The Louisville Hardwood ihib nnd Its Individual members ba\-e pro- 

 tested to the Interstate Commerce Commission against allowing the new 

 tiirlfr to take effeel October 1, as scheduled. 



The Louisville Hardwood Club lias been asked by the Rvansvllle, Ind.. 

 LuiubcrmenK Club to coCperotc with It In an endeovor to have the lime 

 limit on mllliii;: In traoalt, which Is now fined at one year, removed 

 entirely, especially In vltw of present lumber trade conditions. It l« 

 pointed out by Daniel Wertz of Maley & Wcrti, president of the Bvans- 

 ville organisation, that the Illinois Central has no time limit, and It I* 

 lielieved that the Louisville & Nashville Ilallroad should aec Its way 

 clear to remove this limit. I'nder Its tariffs, lumber must lie sblpiHHl 

 out Within a year Irom the time of receiving the logs In order to get 

 the drawback. 



The Louisville k Nosbvlllc Unllrood has attracted much attention by 

 deciding to put a mllllng-ln-tranKit arrangement on lumlH'r In effect at 

 .Nashville, Tcnn., according to advices received from members of the 

 hardwood trade of the Tennessee capital. Heretofore the road ba» re. 

 strlctcd such privileges to inauufttctures from logs, and has not arranged 

 for the application of the through rate with stop-over privileges for grad- 

 ing, sorting or dressing lumber. This Is now to be done at .Nashville, It 

 is stated, and local lumbermen assume that the rood will later on give 

 the privilege to the Louisville market and other points similarly located. 



The exhibit of J. E. Barton, state forester, ot the Kentucky .Stole loir 

 in Louisville last week was the largest and most comprehensive yet put 

 on at the fair. In addition to a lot ot "home made" material, includ- 

 ing an exhibit of members of the Louisville Hardwood Club, who showed 

 a series ot boards representing woods native to Kentucky, Mr. Ilarton 

 had much other matter. Some of the exhibits of the Ilureau of Forestry 

 at the Forest Products Exposition, Including a graphic representation of 

 the effects of erosion caused iiy denuding the hillsides, and coses sbow- 

 iii;: ways In which to use RiiwinlU waste, were displayed, as well og a 

 large number ot tinted photographs and transparencies. A good mony 

 (if the latter were broken In transit, and Mr. narton bos alwut decided 

 not to ship any of them any more. The attendance at the forestry exhibit 

 was good, and school-teachers and school-children, especloliy, showed 

 Interest In the displays. 



The Norman Lumber Company and the Edward L. Davis Lumber 

 Company of Louisville, were nmone the plaintiffs In proceedings In In- 

 voluntary bankruptcy filed In the Federal court here lost week against 

 the Consumers Lumber Company of Louisville. T. J. Morgan Is presi- 

 dent of the company, which is <apltalized at *10,00l». nnd has quarters 

 in the Keller building. The Morgans were Interested In the Tennessee 

 Itiver Hardwood Company, which failed several years ogo. 



Til Alcorn, who has been operating a sawmill In Morgan and MagofBo 

 counties, Ky., has left tlie lumber trade for the more remunerative 

 business of running a restaurant at Heidelberg, a lumber town on the 

 Kentucky river. 



Floyd Day, the Winchester lumlierman, and others have purchased a 

 big tract ot timber on Wright's Fork, Letcher county, Ky., and will 

 sliip the logs to the mills ot the Day Lumber & Coal Co., at Clny City, 

 Ky. The Day Interests have also .>rcanl?ed the Mountain Central Kail- 

 way Company, which will bullil n twelve-mile line from Campton to 

 Camptou Junction in eastern Kentucky, for the purpose of oiiening up a 

 big poplar timber tract which has heretofore lacked transportation 

 facilities.
