Congressman :»am U. Pi'lls c.f tin- SilN I.umlior & Manufacturing Com- 

 pany, Johnson City, Tcnn.. waa lier< tlila week and announced that 

 Attorney Cicneral McReynolds had Juat banded down a decision which 

 win permit the Immediate acqulaltlon of an area of 12.'i,0(lO acrea of 

 forest land In east Tennessee, to he Included In the Appalachian Kurett 

 reserve. The Department of Agriculture baa been unable to take over 

 this land, although Its purchase was recommended some time ago by 

 the National Forest Reservation Commission, for the reason that tbcro 

 was a questlou In regard to the title, involving eld Indian granta of the 

 land, which had to be submitted to the Attorney General. Several other 

 large areas will be taken over at once. 



The I)nu(;las & Wnlkley Company of Cleveland, O., and Elk Valley, 

 Tonn.. Is now operating In Wise county, Virginia, where It purchased 

 a larjjc area of tlml>crland and Installed a band mill. 



Timber land prices In this section are very high and continually going 

 up, but despite this fact stunipnt-e Is belnc sold. Several large conccroa 

 tbnt will soon nceil new lliiil..r :ir.' l.n.kliiK .ilmut for additional acreage. 



=■< LOUISVILLE >= 



The Louisville Hardwood Club will bnvc Its annual meeting November 

 10, which win mark the close of six years of work. The club has had a 

 successful year, and is larger and stronger than at any other time In Its 

 history. The situation as to new offlccrs has not been canvassed, but as 

 I'resident Stuart K. Cecil has indicated that be will not serve again. It Is 

 believed that Harry E. Kline of tbe Louisville Veneer Mills, who Is now 

 vln-prcsldcnl, will be elected. C. M. Sears of the Edw. L. Davis Lumber 

 Company Is treasurer, and has the unique record of having held the poat- 

 tlon ever since the club was organized. His re-election is assured. 



Tile llnrdwood Cbib Is interested In getting the Louisville & NaabTllIe 

 Hallroad to grant bettor terms regarding the milllng-in-transit of logs. 

 Tbe railway requires logs to be manufactured and the lumber shipped out 

 within one year from tbe receipt of tbe logs In order to get tbe refund. 

 ThiE works a severe hardship on tbe manufacturers, especially during 

 limes of quiet business, such as the present. Tbe Evnnsvliic, Ind., Lum- 

 bermen's Club took np the question of co-operation to relieve conditions 

 with the local organization, and a committee was appointed by tbe Hard- 

 wood Club to take action. 



A. E. Norman of the Norman Lumber Company was ready to take heroic 

 measures to meet tbe situation caused by the advances In rates, especially 

 on gum, when the Interstate Commerce Commission suspended the advance 

 tintil January 28. He bad orranged for the shipping out of several 

 hundred thousand feet of gum from the Louisiana plant, which would have 

 saved a large sum, as tbe rate on gum was advanced In some Instances 

 MS much as Ave and one-half cents. The suspension was received with 

 considerable rejoicing In Louisville. 



ranel men arc taking a prominent part In the work of the Falls City 

 Woodworkers' Club, which has been In existence for several months. It U 

 Inrgely a social body, meeting monthly at one of the hotels for a smoker 

 and a round of trade gossip. Some Interesting addresses have been dellv- 

 rrrd at tbe club recently, those on automatic sprinklers and workmen's 

 compensation standing out strong. The Louisville Veneer Mills, the 

 J'lTerson Woodworking Company, which makes talile rl,ms and slides, and 

 llie New Albany Veneering Company are among the members of the club. 



T. .M. Brown of the W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company did not take 

 In the world's series this time, this being tbe first event of tbe sort be has 

 missed In years. Mr. Brown is one of the real baseball fans among the 

 lumbermen. The local lumberman was recently appointed a member of the 

 ' xecutive committee of the National Hardwood Lumber Association by 

 ITPsident Babcock, who recognized the fine work which Mr. Brown bos 

 done for the organization during the past four years that be has been 

 connected with it in an official capacit.v.
