CONFERENCE AT MEMPHIS MAKES

LUMBER HISTORY

(Continued from page 17) particular has had a rocky road. I advised discontinuance of statistical activity on its part in January because it was apparent that the Department of Justice, as then constituted, had sot its face against statistics, especially in the hardwood industry. Members are too alarmed to send in full enough reports to make the data complete or accurate. Many things have happened since, most important of which is the change in attorney generals.

"Conferences of various trade associ. ations were held in Washington in April. It was the unanimous opinion of counsel of these bodies that collection and distribution of statistics were entirely within the law. A committee was appointed to confer with the President, with a view to having him issue instructions to the attorney general. Before this plan could be carried out, Mr. Daugherty resigned and Mr. Stone, the incumbent, was appointed. The committee called on him. He took the position that he was not the maker of the law, but that business men had a right to know what the law was and what they could do under the law,

"My own view is that the case now pending against the Southern Pine Association will settle the question. If not, the attorney general will doubtless clarify the law. Other associations are proceeding with the gathering and distribution of statistics with immunity. What they are doing we can do.

"I feel that I can say to you with assurance that, if you decide to resume your statistical activities, you will not be treated differently from other trade associations. If a test case is made, it will be in a friendly spirit, whatever organization may be selected for testcase purposes. If the test case is directed against the Institute, the others will help defend it, and vice versa. Under the circumstances, I feel perfectly safe in advising members of the Institute to resume statistical work without fear of punishment other than that which may be visited on other associations, and which will not take the form of criminal procedure."

Service Available to All Mr. Satterfield declared there had never been a suggestion from any source that the men indicted and found guilty under the prosecution directed against the American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association, showed any criminal intent. The worst that can be said, he added, is that they were misguided in their efforts to better their industry. He did not think it possible for members of the Institute to "put anything over" since the informa. tion compiled and distributed by this organization is to be available to any one desiring it and ing to pay for it. He paid a tribute to the Southern Pine Association for the courage of its members in continuing their statistical activities in the face of the proceedings at Washington, and concluded by say. ing:

"In view of the attitude of Secretary. Hoover and in realization of the fact that there is no malice at Washington,

I advise going ahead. My company will report."

Unanimous vote in favor of resumption of the statistical work of the Institute followed.

John M. Pritchard, secretary-manager, read the report of the committee appointed to get up the forms for gathering the necessary data and also those for publishing the reports on productions, stocks and past sales. The committee had sent out requests to members for suggestions that would tend to improve those forms, but the report disclosed that changes resulting from such suggestions as

received would really be very few. Reading of of the report, however, precipitated not a little discussion which was brought to a close, when, on motion of B. F. Dul. Webber, Greenwood, Minn., the commit. tee was authorized to complete its plans for the gathering and dissemination of statistical data as quickly as possible, with the understanding that any member objecting to the forms used might appear before the committee and register his ideas thereon.

The committee stated that "application for a budget for operating the de partment of statistics had been made to the chairman of the finance and assessment committee.”

The cost of the service will be as follows, in addition to the regular dues now paid annually: "98.03 per annum, plus a levy of 612c per thousand feet, log scale. It is provided, however, that members making reports on their own industry will receive a refund of 2 cents per thousand feet, thus making the net cost to them $98.03, plus a levy of 442c."

The question of changing headruarters of the Institute was referred back to the board of directors, with request that they make a recommendation to be submitted to the next meeting.

Kirby Co. to Call for Bids

for Erection of New Mill Beaumont, Texas, July 1.-Bids for the erection of a hardwood mill at Call will be received by the Kirby Lumber Company during the present week, it has been announced. Plans for the plant were drawn by Fred Burdett of Beaumont, and will be an exact duplication of the model mill recently completed for the company by Mr. Burdette at Call, with the exception that it will be a double band with resaw. The Voth mill is a single band with resaw.

The Voth plant will replace the pine mill burned down a few months ago. It will have a capacity of 100,000 feet a day, with planer, dry kilns, sheds, comissary, etc. The company has adequate housing facilities at the plant as well as trackage and many other pieces of equipment that were not affected by the fire. Of the more than a billion feet of hardwood owned by the Kirby Lumber Company, approximately 400 million will be accessible to the mills. In addition to its own system of tramways, the mill will have connections with the Orange & Northwestern and Santa Fe railroads. The pine remaining in that territory will be divided up among other mills of the company.

Many companies engaged in the lumber and pulp and paper industries have largely increased their fixed assets during the last few years without adding to their original working capital. Such a policy often proves embarrassing in periods of “tight" money as it places a heavy strain on banking connections. At the present time we are in a position to arrange long term financing on terms favorable to borrower. We shall be glad to discuss sound fiscal policies with interested executives.

The weekly statistical reports for member mills of the principal lumber producers' associations have shown, in the last few weeks marking the passing of the fag end of the half-year period, nothing indicative of immediately impending changes in the trade outlook. They have impressed only in the sense of making the fact clearer,-by weekly repetition of statistical detail, that the tendency of production for some time now has been toward nicer and more quickly responsive adjustment to variations in the demand for lumber.

The working of the result, of still indeterminate significance, has seemed slow: It has been so, in obedience to that law of physics which decrees that large bodies shall move slowly. As Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, has said with direct reference to the present situation: “Under similar circumstances heretofore it has always taken the lumber industry a period of several months to adjust total production to the broad movements in demand. The result is a relative scarcity of stocks during the early months of a broad lumber buying movement, and ordinarily a compensating increase in unsold stocks during the period of decline in general buying. It takes the lumber manufacturing industry between four and six months to adjust itself, both going and coming."

And yet a good deal of ground has been covered in the down-hill price movement to cost-line resistance of large scale production. Much active mill capacity, especially among small plants, has been overcome and stilled for the time being. The loss to the lumber supply from such enforced mill idleness is not felt now, when more economical manufacture is battling for enough business at liveable prices to keep going. But that it will be felt, soon or late, does not admit of dispute. Nor is it possible to avoid the conclusion in the same connection that, in so far, at least, as southern, northern and northeastern woods are concerned, their reduced market supply is likely to be more keenly felt than ordinarily, in similar circumstances, when free buying is again resumed.

For consumption can hardly so decline in the meanwhile, in any way and degree denoting permanent

loss, as to negative trade prospects for a good fall business. Building activity, it is true, inclines to decrease as the year lengthens, but there is so much construction under way and certain to be contracted for in time for this season's work that continuing heavy requirements for lumber and other materials are virtually, if not absolutely, assured. City building, in other words, bears the reasonable promise of carrying on, in gradually declining volume, until there is a chance for more farm trade in lumber and a better export movement. The farmers have bought comparatively little lumber, especially in the grain belts, in the last three years.

The industrial and railroad demand is bound to rally, though the extent to which it will do so will be largely determined by general business conditions hereafter. The carriers have done well, in an earnings sense, for the last year and a half, and since the short session of Congress will not convene until after the election, can hardly indulge any real fear of legislation inimical to their interests. The supposed danger from this source has been hitherto urged as a principal reason for much of their improvement retrenchment.

It is also to be considered, in any appraisement of lumber industry prospects, that there is nothing fundamentally the matter with this country-outside of religion in politics. Virtually every essential for expansive prosperity is so conspicuously present that it is difficult, if not impossible, to explain slackened business activities upon any other ground than the absurd 'presidential year” superstition.

There is a surfeit of gold-half of all in the world —with which to sustain currency circulation and make purchases and investments abroad. The federal reserve banking system provides flexibility of funds and credit, and is safely workable to the point of preventing panics. The crops yield well, and when they do not-as in the case of cotton-higher prices work in offset to lessened production. Money is cheap for business use, and extraordinarily so for large loans. Private capital, moreover, is abundant for financing an unusually large construction program now under way or in the planning for highway systems, hydro-electric power projects, municipal improvements of diversified character, etc. Some of the

Lumber Trade Phases in Foreign Markets

EAVY arrivals of Douglas' fir in the United Kingdom, due largely

to the decreased demand from the Far East, is reported by Trade Commission Mitchell, London. Interested brokers maintain that if not in its infancy, the use of Douglas fir is at least in its very youthful days in the United Kingdom and that attention to the raquirements of British importers particularly as to shipping strictly accord. ing to specifications and on contract time by American shippers should lead to vast increases in business within the next few years.

Southern yellow pine sawn timber has been selling rapidly recently, and while there have been very large arrivals consumption has kept stocks down to last month's figure or slightly below. Prices are firm and inquiry for forward shipment is good. Much the same applies to lumber and dealers in this species are optimistic.

The demand for American oak, both plain and quartered, has slackened off recently, although a fair volume of business has been done, but at some sacrifice in price by shippers.

The import of plywoods through the port of London alone, during the week ending June 3, amounted to nearly 23,000 pounds in value, which is greater by far than for any previous week in the history of London or any other United Kingdom port. The quantity coming from America was considerably larger than usual, being made up of several parcels, one to the value of $4,000, and another amounting to nearly $30,000, the latter composed largely of Douglas fir.

for Lithuanian lumber. The floating of logs and rafts on the Niemen to Memel Harbor is well under way, dealers are optimistic as to marketing conditions.

There are ten sawmills in or near Kovno, of which two are government owned and operated, and the remaining eight owned by private persons or industrial organizations. These are now running almost to capacity, and employ in the neighborhood of 400 laborers.

The total annual capacity of all the sawmills in Lithuania amount to about 106,000,000 board feet. Much of the wood exported as unmanufactured logs, is used for fuel. The Lithuanian sawmills are making efforts to obtain the business of manufacturing saw logs into lumber, before export, but competition with other European manufacturers is keen.

NEW LUMBER BUSINESS 10 PER CENT OVER

YEAR AGO Washington, July 7.-With lumber production for week ending June 29 far below that of the corresponding week of last year, says the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, new business was 10 per cent larger. At the same time shipments were about as much off as production. As compared with the preceding week, however, there was a seasonal restriction of all factors of the lumber movement. These statements refer to compilations of telegraphic reports from 359 of the larger lumber mills of the country making comparable reports.

The unfilled orders of 250 Southern pine and West Coast mills at the end of last week amounting to 434,801,677 feet, as against 437,952,827 feet for 246 mills for the week ending June 7. The 130 Southern mills in this combination showed unfilled orders of 195,420,606. For 120 West Coast mills the unfilled orders were 239,381,071 feet. Omission for the week ending June 14 of Southern pine unfilled orders and a transmission error in West Coast unfilled orders for the week ending June 21, vitiate comparison with the preceding week and the week before that.

Altogether the 359 comparably reporting mills had shipments of 93 per cent and orders of 90 per cent of actual production. For the Southern pine mills these percentages were 101 and 100; and for the West Coast mills 102 and 102. Of the comparably reporting mills, 338 (having a normal production for the week of 215,947,237 feet) reported production 94 per cent of normal, shipments 89 per cent, and orders 88 per cent thereof.

The following table compares the national lumber movement as reflected by the reporting mills of seven regional associations for the three weeks in. dicated:

EMAND for American wood in the

Naples lumber market during the

past two months has been very small, due to the high prices prevailing, according to a cablegram from Consul Finley, Naples. Although a small reduction has been made in red gum it is insufficient to stimulate buying. Should prices be reduced still further, however, a good demand is expected in the late summer and fall.

Dealers expect the demand for Southern yellow pine to materially increase as soon as the construction work in the port of Naples begins. The Government has approved the program and appropriated the money, but no indication is yet available as to when work will actually commence.

Official import statistics for January, 1924, have just become available. During that month, 77,041 metric tons of lumber were imported into Italy. The following countries were the leading suppliers: Jugoslavia, 42,242 metric tons; Austria, 26,064 metric tons; United States, 2,761 metric tons, and Germany, 2,050 metric tons.

ANY French furniture factories and cabinet makers complain

that American oak is often difficult to use because the board cannot be matched for the making of a piece of furniture reports Axel H. Oxholm, Paris, to the Department of Commerce. If there are any mills in the United States who could undertake to cut oak logs in the European fashion, namely ship the boards unedged and in log forin, it is said that the market may be greatly increased. This, however, is largely a matter of transportation costs as it is realized that freight must be paid on some waste material. On the other hand, the French importer would take all there is in the log which to some extent would decrease the grading and marketing problem. Austrian oak logs of prime quality are selling at present at about $82.50 per thousand feet c. i, f. French port.

HE opening of the Niemen River for shipping after the severe win

ter season has had an immediate and favorable effect on the Lithuanian lumber market. This country is in the position of being able to export various quantities of wood. A year ago approximately 2,066,400 acres of land, or 16.9 per cent of the entire area of Lithuania was forest covered. Lumber is one of the main resources of income of the Lithuanian government.

The favorable condition of the market is attributed, according to ViceConsul Dayton, at Lithuania, in part to the reopening of navigation, and in part to the increased exchange value of the German and British currencies, since these are the principal foreign markets

77 Lumber Producers Fight Proposed Increase in Rates

A

Manufacturers in Four Southern States Petition Commerce Commission With Charge That Railroads Are Parcelling

Territory Among Selves on Shipments East

POCKET pamphlet on "How to Lay and Finish Maple-Beech and

Birch Floors' has been issued by the Maple Flooring Manufacturers’ Association, Stock Exchange Building, Chicago, copyright. It provides valuable information for the workman engaged in this type of work.

from the several Carolina groups, it seems clear that there can be no justification for such a rate jump as 572 cents between lower eastern and lower western Alabama, wh the difference between Georgia and lower eastern Ala. bama is only 242 cents and the difference between lower western Alabama and lower Mississippi is 2 cents; nor should there be a constricting of groups to gradually absorb rate 'spreads.'

“Protestants respectfully assert that the situation thus called to the commission's attention plainly speaks for itself. It shows as completely as can be done the fact that as between the territories immediateły west and east of the Louisville & Nashville there is proposed a spread in charges which is totally indefensible in relation to increasing distances and in comparison with spreads as between other origin groups in the same general territory."

Arbitrary Dictation The petition alleges that such a parcelling out of southern territory among the carriers as is attempted by the railroads in its proposed tariff, "presents an altogether unjustifiable situation which, in purpose and effect, causes a complete disregard of the relative geographical location of the various south. ern lumber producing groups herein referred to. Protestants respectfully submit that carriers may not lawfully be permitted thus to dictate arbitrarily the commercial destinies of those protestants in any such manner."

It is asserted in the petition that southern carriers place the blame for the alleged unwarranted discrimination against the shippers in the territory involved through the eastern gateways, upon the northern railroads, "which, they claim, insist upon arbitraries to this destination territory on traffic moving on Ohio River crossings rates. The statement appears fetched and would indicate a condition of supine helplessness on the part of the originating lines operating via the Ohio River, not at all in keeping with their influence on the adjustment as a whole."

The petition appeals for a suspension of the proposed new rates and for an order correcting the alleged violations of law to which attention is called.

ETHODS used by a number of large manufacturers to control

their investments in raw materials are set forth in a pamphlet just issued by the Department of Manufacture of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.

In commenting on the importance of this subject and the contents of the pamphlet, E. W. McCullough, manager of the department, said:

“This pamphlet is based on the ex: periences of a considerable number of manufacturing companies that have de veloped satisfactory methods of control, hence it is not a textbook on the subject, but rather it reports the tested procedure of these manufacturers in connection with the various phases of the general subject.

"Doubt has been expressed by some manufacturers, for example, as to whether it is safe to do away entirely with the year-end physical inventory. This point is covered, and the actual procedure followed whereby the annual physical inventory is eliminated is presented."

A copy of the pamphlet will be furnished by the department upon request.

Atlanta, Ga., July 7.-A petition for the suspension of increases in freight rates, ranging from 1 cent to 71/2 cents per hundred pounds, on lumber from four southern states to eastern seaboard destinations, which increases have been proposed by the Louisville & Nashville and other southern railroads to become effective July 20, was filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington, July 5, by Attorney Charles E. Cotterill, of Atlanta, on behalf of 77 large lumber manufacturers in Eastern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and northwest Florida. Announcement of the proceeding was made by Attorney Cotterill here, who stated that the lumber companies filing the petition represent an aggregate annual production of 2,800,000,000 feet of lumber.

Chief among the allegations in the lumber manufacturers' petition are that the proposed increases embraced in Agent Spieden's tariff 26-D, I. C. C. 825, effective July 20, are unwarranted and unjustifiable; that the carriers have endeavored through the proposed tariff to equalize the Ohio River and eastern gateway adjustment on the basis of the highest possible rates, and that the several railroads have “parcelled out" the territory among themselves in such manner as to benefit the carriers and work an indefensible hardship on the shippers.

Disregard Economic Law “The carriers in subdividing the state of Alabama east and west,” the petitioners charge, "have for a motive purely and simply, taking in the 'slack' between the eastern gateway adjustment and the inflated Ohio River crossings adjustment, as reflected in the Lower Georgia versus the Lower Mississippi rates to the entire eastern territory, a situation which it is hoped the commission will correct.”

Concerning the charge that the railroads have “parcelled out" the territory among themselves the petition says: “It is an axiomatic rule that as total lengths of haul increase, differences in charges as between different origins or destinations should diminish, and in the case of natural resources, originating points should be grouped in large blankets. In the proposed revision here involved, such elemental rule is completely disregarded and it is found that the carriers have evidently parcelled out Southern territory among themselves and have, caused a totally unwarranted rate jump to occur as between the territories on either side of the line referred to. Apart from the fact of the difference or differences in charge proposed from Georgia as compared with the proposed charges

HE new directory of retail lumber merchants in the states of Minne

sota, Iowa, North and South Dakota has just been sent to the printer by the Northwestern Lumbermen's Association. It will be ready for distribution within 30 days.

It will be a pocket size, 50-page pamphlet, strictly up-to-date, and the most correct directory obtainable for this territory, according to William H. Badeaux, secretary of the association. It will show independent and line yard companies with location of purchasing department of each. A new feature of this directory will be a railroad index showing the railroads for each town and city.

The directory may be obtained from the offices of the association at Minneapolis, Minn., 1026 McKnight building.

EMPLOYES ENTERTAINED AT

DINNER Reading, Pa., July 8.-The Merritt Lumber Yards, Inc., of this city recently were hosts to the employes and a few friends at the annual chicken and waf. fie dinner held in the Black Horse Inn. Plans are now being made for the annual outing of the employes and their families which will take place some time in July or August.

HANDY booklet, entitled "Perma. nent Garages" has been issued by

Shattock & McKay Co., printers of advertising, 426 South Clinton street, Chicago, for use by lumber retailers as an aid to sales of sash, doors, lum. ber and other building materials. Pro vision is made for printing the dealer's name on the front cover and to supply with him as many as he desires for distribution in his sales territory. The booklet is illustrated by 16 attractive permanent garage types, with practical working plans and suggestions.

Basically the pamphlet is designed to meet the growing competition of portable garages, which, it is pointed out by the publishers, is severely cutting into the lumberman's sales.

A Transaction in Real Estate

Warranty Deeds: Joe Speelman et al. to Jno. A. Sucker. W. 142 of Sec. 24, Twp. 32, R. 23, and W. 142 S. E. 14 same, consideration not given. ROBABLY the editor of the

Chronicle thought that he had told all the story in the above paragraph, when in reality he had done no more than prepare the foundation for telling it backwards.

The real story started at 8:00 o'clock one fine morning in May, on a country road a few miles south of Springfield. "Mister, ye lookin' for land?”

The question came from an Ozark countryman as he stepped from a thicket of scrub oak and vines at a sharp turn in a mountain road, and his sudden appearance almost caused Old Barney, my dependable motive power to shy over the cliff with my light wagon and camping equipment-and myself. My questione crossed the road, hooked his elbow up on Barney's hip, and leaned in a loose-jointed way against the wagon shaft.

I was not looking for land. I was tooking for water-lake water, river water, creek water—any kind of water with fish in it. For years I had denied, starved, suppressed, smothered a desire to take a whole month vacation fishing, and I was not in the humor to waste any part of that time with any consideration of minor importance. I explained the situation to the hill-billy, trusting that he might direct me to the nearest promising fishing place.

“I got the very place for ye, mister. I ain't no land agent. I'm dealin' my own land. I got a lot of it, and I'm just plum tired of farmin', and want to sell it off, and I got the best fishin' holes in Missoury.”

“What kind of land have you for sale?" I asked the question idly, waiting for him to move out of the way, or to release his lien on Barney.

“Well, ye might say it's good, poor and worse. It is all good dirt, stranger, everywhere you find dirt. Some of it is gallopin' land, and some is trottin' land and some is just walkin' land. Some of it down here is called airyplane land, but I hain't none of that.”

“You have me mystified,” I said. I don't follow your land classification.”

“Ye mean ye don't savvy?”

"Exactly. I don't know what you mean by galloping land and trotting land.”

“Just this stranger, gallopin' land is the kind that's near enough level that a man can gallop over it hoss-back; and trottin' land is the kind he can trot a hoss over. Most of the walkin' land is the mount'ns that ye go a foot over, iffen ye go a-tall.”

In excusing my ignorance I told him
that I come from Louisiana, and from
a locality where the land was level.

"I know the kind mister—just as
level as water. The carpenders, ever-
when they build a house, don't need no
level for the foundation. They just
sight 'cross country. Thays none of
that kinda country 'round here. Why
the boys over to the seminary wanted
a place they could play bast ball, and
thay was no place level that was big
enough. We holp 'em fill in a big
ditch 'tween Spring Branch and the
mount'n, to get a place a little bigger'n
the ring. They couldn't make
home runs, 'cause the flies hit the
mount'n and bounced back. One day
a feller from Springfield was a playin'
and he hit a ball into the crotch of a
black jack, and it stuck. The feller
tore round the ring like a blue racer.
My Jeff was in the field, and he clim
the tree after the ball. He was a good
climber, but he was in such a hurry
he fell and bruk his arm. He jarred
the ball loose and it fell too, and he
got up and Aung it and they ketched
it and rubbed it onto the Springfield
feller just as he got round. The em-
• pire said he was saved, but our fellers was mad 'bout Jeff breakin' his arm,

anyway, and they said he was out, and

“I got two quarters in one track,
mister, that is all either gallopin' land or trottin' land, and Stansberry crick runs kitty-cornered clean acrost it. It's good for berries and apples and

peaches. Thays some mighty good

He was watching me all the time as he catalogued the desirable points of the land to see the effect of his

presentation of its advantages—to see if he got a “rise” on any of the points enumerated. "Four of the springs is good ones. They all run into Stansberry. All of the trottin' land was goated last year, and the grass is mighty good this year. Right below where the Big Blue Spring runs into the crick I ketched the biggest bass last week I ever seen."

A center shot, and he knew it, and followed up.

“Thays speckled trout and rainbows in the crick, too. And the bass is the sassiest you ever seen. I reckon iffen they had hands they'd stand on their tails and throw kisses at ye. They keep ye so busy it putnigh takes two men to the pole. They haint no tame kind, either; ye gotta fight everwhen

bites, but THEY BITES.”

“How much of this land lies along the creek?"

"All of it. Stansberry runs through it from cornder to cornder. They's a lot of good post and tie timber on it.” Then realizing that he was losing sight of the main appeal—“The crick never freezes, 'cause it runs too swift, and I've shared 4-pounders right in the dead of winter. But of course the most fun is ketchin' 'em on a line, and 'bout this time o' year.

The rainbows got in everwhen the dam bruk at the hatchery, and they's a lot of 'em in there now.'

There was no need to say more. I was sold, and he knew it. He did not need to know that my reason for coming to the country at all was FISH. He did not need to know that the baggage I brought along was more fishing tackle 'than clothing. He was good enough judge of men and of fish-particularly the genus sucker, to know that I was securely hooked.

A visit to the land cinched the sale, but before closing I offered to give him the price for the two quarters provided that he would get me ten acres surrounding Big Blue Spring that flowed out of the mountain high above the place I wanted to locate some cottages.

"I own 'nother eighty up there in that walkin' land, and I'll throw it in. And say, mister, 'fi. was you I'd goat that 80 this year. You'll have good grass on it next year."

Southern Kraft Manufacturers

Organize; Goodyear Honored New Orleans, La., July 7.-The Southern Kraft Manufacturers' Association was organized at a recent meeting in New Orleans of 30 representatives of enterprises manufacturing Kraft paper from Southern pine timber waste. Col. A. C. Goodyear, president of the Great Southern Lumber Co., was honored with a vice-presidency and a

former lumber association man of long
experience, C. E. Dobson, was made
secretary and is to have active charge
of the destiny of the new organization.
Mr. Dobson was the able managing di-
rector of the old Southern Lumber
Exporters' Association, with headquar- ters in New Orleans until that body

become defunct some two years ago.

SHIPMENT FROM MANILA Washington, July 9.-Report from the American Trade Commissioner at Manila states that a shipment of 1,285 board feet of Philippine Island lumber will start from Manila during the coming week. About 50 per cent of this shipment was destined for Shanghai and the remainder is going to the United States.

Lumber Exports During May PEAVY:WAL SON FIRM Slightly Under Year Ago

Washington, July 9.-Statistics of exports showed a slight slump in the volume of lumber shipments during May. The total exports were valued at $12,140,319 during May, 1924, as compared with $12,487,039 in May of 1923. Despite the attempts of the jingo ele. ment to boycott American products, Japan was the principal market for "untreated" lumber for May, while Australian purchases amounted to 6,271,000 feet.

The principal market for yellow pine during May was Cuba, which received 10,933,000 feet, with Mexico second, with orders amounting to 9,160,000 feet.

Douglas fir was next in quantity with with 53,219,000 feet; the principal markets being Japan, 28,643,000 feet; China, 5,147,000 feet; Australia, 4,463,000 feet; Peru, 4,389,000 feet; Chili, 3,225,000 feet; Mexico, 3,150,000 feet; Cuba, 2,421,000 feet; United Kingdom, 2,207,000 feet; British South Africa, 1,004,000 feet; and the River Plate, 591,000 feet.

Other May exports of softwood lumber included 3,598,000 feet of western hemlock (which went to Japan, 2,217,000 feet and Canada 1,381,000 feet); 3,066,000 feet spruce; 2,877,000 feet western yellow pine; 1,915,000 feet

white pine; 1,305,000 feet redwood, and 854,000 feet of cypress.

of the hardwood lumber exported during May, oak retains its position in first place with 17,481,000 feet, going principally to the United Kingdom, 10,484,000 feet; Canada, 3,326,000 feet; Belgium, 528,000 feet; River Plate, 475,000 feet; the Netherlands, 467,000 feet; British South Africa, 216,000 feet, and Spain, 202,000 feet. Other exports of hardwood lumber included 4,734,000 feet of gum, 2,967,000 feet of poplar, 2,543,000 feet of ash, 1,430,000 feet of mahogany, 672,000 feet of walnut, 598,000 feet of hickory, and 539,000 feet of chestnut.

Cooperage exports included 1,809,723 tight and 2,095,521 slack staves; 567,391 sets of heading; also 70,001 sets of tight and 71,223 sets of slack cooperage shooks. Empty barrels, casks and hogsheads to the number of 37,023 were also exported during this month.

During May 7,145,206 square feet of plywood and veneers, 2,700,000 laths and 2,655,000 shingles were also exported. Other items included 639,000 feet of hardwood flooring, 40,633 doors, 2,989 sash and blinds, 324,565 linear feet of moldings and trim, 1,689,350 pounds of handles for tools and 660,633 pounds for agricultural implements.

TO EMPLOYES Shreveport, La., July 7.-Employes of the Peavy-Wilson Lumber Co.'s mill at Peason, Sabine Parish, La., members of their families and other residents of Peason and vicinity were guests of the Peavy-Wilson Co., at a Fourth of July picnic, which was attended by oflicials of the company, including Pres. ident A. J. Peavy, Vice-President R. J. Wilson, Secretary-Treasurer J. S. Welsh, Salesmanager O. N. Cloud, Assistant Salesmanager E. W. Thompson, Freight Traffic Manager T. J. Shelton and others, who made the trip from Shreveport, general headquarters, in a special Pullman car engaged for the purpose.

A special guest of the occasion was Judge Harry F. Atwood, of Chicago, author and lecturer, who addressed a crowd estimated at between 1,000 and 1,500. He declared that the United States is drifiting away from its form of government as outlined in the constitution and as carried out during the earlier years of the republic. He said the drift is from representative to the direct form of government, toward socialism and government ownership, and toward class consciousness.

President Peavy of the lumber com. pany also made an address. Among other things, he criticised the federal constitution regulating child-labor as being too far-reaching in its effects and of too wide scope, especially attacking the child labor amendment. Mr. Peavy told his hearers how happy he was to attend the celebration, saying it was the first real celebration on the Fourth he had been privileged to enjoy in many years.

Vice-President Wilson, Salesmanager O. N. Cloud and Vice-President and Mill Manager D. L. Handley, also spoke. The music was thoroughly enjoyed, all of which was a treat from the lumber company.

The Peavy-Wilson company has been in operation six years at Peason and has a number of years yet to run there. The town is up-to-date, with modern conveniences for the employes and their families, the country being gen. erous in its contribution to religion, ed. ucation, amusement and so forth. There is a strong bond of friendship between employers and employes, as demonstrated in the Fourth of July celebration.

Proposed Rates from S. W.

Points to Iowa Justified

Washington, July 7.-Under decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission today, the proposed rates on lumber from points in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, to Burlington and West Burlington, Iowa, were found justified in part. The suspended schedules were ordered cancelled without prejudice and the publication of new schedules in conformity with the Commission's findings.

Protest was made by the Burlington Shippers' Association, the Keokuk (Ia.) Shippers' Association, and the Hawkeye Lumber Co., of Oskaloosa, Iowa, to schedules which were filed to become effective March 20, 1924, allowing the railroads to increase the rates on lumber in carloads from points mentioned to destinations mentioned.

In its report the Commission said: "Burlington interests objected to paying a rate which is equal to the full sum of the locals over St. Louis and which would allow the St. Louis wholesalers to reship lumber from originating territory to Burlington at the same charge as the Burlington dealer would be called upon to pay on a through shipment requiring less service. Hannibal at the present time has a rate from Gideon, a typical originating point, 2 cents lower than the combination of locals over St. Louis, but, as previously stated, respondents assert that this was published in error and

will be corrected. Keokuk and Fort Madison both pay rates equivalent to the full combination, as Burlington will have to if the schedules are allowed to' become effective. A 29.5-cent rate, which is 3 cents under the local combination, applies from Gideon to Chicago and Rockford. Peoria takes a rate 2 cents lower than the combination. The application to the traffic here considered of joint rates which equal the combinations of locals is not of itself a sufficient reason for their condemnation, and the situation thereby created is not under the circumstances unlawful or unduly prejudicial.

"We find that the measure of the proposed rates has been justified, but that respondents have not justified the maintenance of rates to Burlington and West Burlington which are in excess of the rates from the same points of origin to more distant points, such as Galesburg and Chicago, on the same line or route."

Standard Lumber Company

May Establish Paper Mill Live Oak, Fla., July 4.-Thomas Hamilton, president, and W. M. Sears, secretary of the Standard Lumber Co., have returned after spending the past four weeks touring Massachusetts and Maine, where they visited paper mills of that section for the purpose of studying conditions with a view to locating a paper mill here to utilize the waste in connection with their big milling interests in this section. Both Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Sears look with favor on the project but as yet no definite plans have been made, and no public announcement as to the company's intentions will be made at this time.

OPERATION ON FRANK R. GADD

Memphis, Tenn., July 7.-Frank R. Gadd, Frank R, Gadd Lumber Company, was removed to his home today from the Baptist Memorial Hospital, where he underwent an operation last Tuesday for appendicitis. He is reported getting along nicely.

Three Days of Gala Events to Mark Dedication and Opening of Plants of Long-Bell Company at Longview

NAVAL STORES GROUP SAIL TO STUDY

METHODS ABROAD Washington, July 7.-Scarcity of long leaf pine in the South upon which producers of rosin depend for their product is causing considerable concern to the government and lumbermen in the South. A group known as the Naval Stores Commission sailed today for France to study European methods of forestry.

Conferences were held with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace this week when the situation was thoroughly discussed. J. G. Pace of Pensacola, Fla., is chairman of the commission, which includes Alex K. Sessoms, pr ent, Sessoms Land & Security Co., Cogdell, Ga.; Dr. Elbert P. Rose, turpentine operator, Valdosta, Ga.; Otto H. L. Wernick, Pensacola Tar & Turpentine Co., Cull Point, Fla.; A. S. Carr, turpentine operator, Bainbridge, Ga.; W. L. E. Barnett, president, Florida Forestry Association, Pensacola, Fla.; W. L. Fender, turpentine operator, Valdosta, Ga.; S. A. Alford, turpentine operator, Chipley, Fla.; and Dr. Austin Cary, logging engi er, Forest Service.

It is the intention of the commission to report directly to the Department of Agriculture upon its return from Europe. Study will be made of the methods used by the French and Spanish turpentine operators in growing and managing the maritime pine which constitutes their source of rosin and turpentine, and the processes of distillation, manufacture and distribution of the product of these orchards, which embraces a system of forest management and methods of harvesting the gum that is believed by many authorities to possess many advantages over the system followed in this country. Their system allows a virtually continuous production of gum without in any way depleting or damaging the growth of the timber from which it is derived.

Kansas City, Mo., July 8.-A threeday celebration to be held July 31, August 1 and 2 will mark the opening of the Douglas Fir lumber manufacturing plants of The Long-Bell Lumber Co., at Longview, Wash., July 31. The first day of the celebration will be a Long-Bell day, while the remaining days will be given over to a civic celebration in commemoration of the dedication of Longview, which took place one year ago.

Plans for the celebration are being made by citizens of Longview and officers of The Long-Bell Lumber Co. Several civic and fraternal organizations of Longview and nearby cities will take part in the program.

Included in the events will be a dedicatory and flag raising ceremony, a water regatta, industrial parade, rodeo, an aerial circus, athletic events, a log rolling contest for the championship of the Pacific Northwest, fireworks, dancing, band concerts, street carnival attractions, coronation of a Longview Queen and music by glee clubs and chanters.

The lumber manufacturing plants will begin operations at noon on the first day of the celebration and will be open for inspection by the visitors during the remaining days.

The immense lumber manufacturing plants are being rushed to completion. Main buildings of the man

ufacturing plants required 34 acres of roofing to cover. There is a huge electric power plant with two stacks each 300 feet high and 21 feet in diameter inside at the top, and lumber export docks with a berthing length of 1,400 feet. Some idea of the immensity of the enterprise can be had from the fact that the planing mill alone covers five acres; a storage yard of approximately 44 acres is crossed by a network of approximately 30 miles of railroad; two log ponds cover 150 acres. The plants will represent the final word in the application of electricity to lumber manufacturing operations. More than 500 motors are included in the millions of pounds of machinery.

Logging operations are under way in the forests near Ryderwood, the new city 30 miles north of Longview, which will be the center of logging operations, and already more than 12 million feet of logs have been stored in the storage pond awaiting the opening of the mill.

Lumbermen from all parts of the United States will attend the mill opening. Among them will be the directors of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, who will convene in the city at that time. Representatives of other industries have been invited and an invitation extended the general public through newspapers and magazines.

Louisiana Association Urges Forester-Farmer Co-operation

Railroad Will Build Line

from Indiana to Kentucky Evansville, Ind., July 7.-Lumber manufacturers in southern Indiana are interested in the announcement of a few days ago to the effect that the St. Paul, Milwaukee & Chicago Railroad Co., will build a railroad from Elnora, Ind., to Owensboro, Ky. The company is anxious to tap the rich coal fields in southern Indiana and western Ken. tucky. The construction of the proposed road is expected to start within a short time. It is planned to build a new road from Elnora to Huntingburg and to use the tracks of the Southern railroad from Huntingburg to Rockport. A new line will be built from Rockport to Owensboro, Ky., and a new bridge will be built across the Ohio River between Rockport and Owensboro that will cost in the neighborhood of $3,000,000.

.36 42 Buffalo, N. Y., July 8.-The lumber market shows some further declines during the past week, and this dropping tendency causes many of the retailers to hold off. They are also slowing up their buying because of the nearness to the vacation period, when trade in most cases begins to register a decline. There is a good amount of building in most cities and large towns in this territory, but it is questioned whether it will be as heavy in the latter part of the year as it was last year, which was a very busy period.

The Pacific Coast woods continue to show an unsettled tone, but few, if any, changes having taken place in fir.

The closing down of many mills has kept the market from breaking, and quotations are about as they have been. Some declines have taken place in redwood siding in the past week or two, these amounting to $3.00 or so in a number of items. Shingles are unchanged, not being quite up to the high points recently touched.

The yellow pine market shows declines in some cases, particularly in 1 by 3 flooring. Dimensions is slightly lower, but no change has taken place in roofers. The number of transit cars is said to be 'smaller than a short time ago. A drop has taken place in North Carolina ceiling and partition.

In the hardwood trade there is little
doing. Industrial plants are not in much
need of stock and some leading concerns
are closed down temporarily. Wholesalers
see no immediate prospects of improve-
ment, as during the hot weather period
sales generally drop off. Many buyers
are about ready to start on vacations,
and so they are keeping their purchases
at a minimum. Prices are unsettled, and
are considerably lower than several weeks
ago. It is believed, however, that they
are not far from bottom, as a good deal
of curtailment is going on at the mills
because of unsatisfactory conditions. There
is plenty of lumber to be had, and no
desire to buy much ahead.

PUGET SOUND LOG MARKET Seattle, July 7.-Mills have been buying fir logs at a heavy rate, but loggers insist that there is still a large volume of unsold stock, Prices with a number of the largest loggers on standard stock are firm at $14, $20 and $26, while others have been selling freely at $13. $19 and $25. Not a little standard stock has passed to the mills at $13 and $16, and the ethics of the trade were waived when No. 1 clear logs were thrown in on rafts at $16.

Truck loggers, forcing the market to meet Fourth of July payrolls, sold logs at buyer's bids. In this way there was fair cleanup, and reductions by recognized buckers and fallers of standard fir sold lower for the same reason.

Fire danger at this time is extreme. The woods are filled with berry pickers, who are a constant menace in dry foliage and timber floors, and wardens are being added daily to prevent carelessness, which has destroyed so much timber annually. Logging camps probably will not resume operations until September 1.

ST. LOUIS TIE MARKET
St. Louis, Mo., July 10. While a re-
vival of orders is not yet markedly under
way, there is a universal feeling among
the trade that the tone generally is better.
Inquiries have been more numerous and
a few minor advances over last week's
quotations will be noted in the price list.
Railroads are bargaining closely and are
indisposed to hurry with orders, although
the season for the start of new year stock-

CHICAGO TIE MARKET Chicago, Ill., July 8.-Several good-sized orders were placed in the Chicago tie market during the last week. One calling for 50,000 ties came from a railroad at Detroit. There was no big buying in Chicago,

however. Most of the consumers here continue to hold back on contracts. Stocks in the hands of most consumers were reported high. Generally, there was a better feeling in the tie market with sellers predicting a decided change for the better by the middle of this month or August 1.

TORONTO MARKET Toronto, Can., July 7.-Conditions in the lumber trade show some improvement. The strike of post office employes, which considerably interfered with business during the latter part of June, having been settled, orders are coming in more freely, though they are generally small. Stocks of retailers are, as a rule, light and dealers disposed to defer purchases until prices at present fluctuating become more stabilized. Some price-cutting to force sales nationally tends to induce expectations of a general lowering of quotations. Manufacturers generally are anticipating a fair market in the fall and are not in clined to meet the views of buyers by sacrificing profits, and transactions for the new cut

are decidedly limited. AIthough the demand for building purposes is light, as compared with the exceptionally large requirements of last year, it is not substantially below that of the preceding years since the war, and the present dullness is a usual feature of the midsummer trade in ordinary seasons. Signs of a general revival of business and industry encourage a hopeful view of the outlook for the fall trade.

Transferring Trouble A merchant, unable to sleep, tossed fitfully on his couch and muttered unintelligible words. The wife of

his bosom sought the cause of his restlessness. In answer to her inquiries, he said:

"You should expect me to sleep when my note to Cohan in the bank comes due tomorrow for $5,000 and there's only $2,000 in the bank to meet it?"

"It is?" said the faithful wife. "Then I tell you what I should do, Ike. You should get up and go

over to Cohan's house and tell him, and then come back and go to sleep. Let Cohan stay awake." -Sawdust.

As Far as He Likes Clarence was making a visit to a girl who lived in the country, and they were walking through the field when they noticed a cow and a calf rubbing their noses in bovine love.

He spoke up: “The sight of that makes me want to do the same thing."

“Go ahead," she replied, “it is father's cow."-Sawdust.

JAPANESE SQUARES ON RISING MARKET ARE

EAGERLY TAKEN Seattle, July 7.-Japanese squares have advanced 50 cents per 1,000 feet, and on September 1 the big Douglas Fir Exploitation & Export Co. will raise its list a dollar. Sales to Japan for the past week have run almost exclusively to hemlock baby squares at $31 c. i. f. for delivery at Osaka. This new discharging port indicates that some sort of new construction program, in addition to that of Tokyo and Yokohama, is under way.

Cables of inquiry are increasing, and when shippers, unable to buy at the mills at the old price, make firm offers at 50 cents higher they are eagerly snapped up. Low transpacific freights have much to do with this, as the $9.00 rate is still offering by tramp bottoms, and there appears to be plenty of it.

Wholesalers since the change of pol. icy with the Douglas Fir Exploitation & Export Co., have been able to buy as easily from the group at the customary margins as before, it was announced at the time the c. i. f. plan was added by the big group that exporters would be quoted the same prices as foreign buy. ers, less freights and insurance, but it is understood that the group was not a unit on the project.

This plan has apparently drawn wholesale exporters and Douglas fir mills into closer relationship and is said to have harmonized conditions that were practically insurmountable a few months ago.

Cargo mills are supporting the stronger market by holding well to the advance. The market is still slightly vibratory, but the obstacle to heavy Japanese buying, that of finance, seems to have been overcome by rising values of the yen. Japanese ports that ship lumber close in October, and it is felt that Nippon investors intend to get good stocks on hand ahead of that time in order that their construction program shall not be interrupted.

One Job at a Time It was the dear old lady's first ride in a taxi and she watched with growing alarm as the driver continually put his hand outside the car as a signal to the traffic following. At last she became exasperated.

"Young man," she said, "you look after that car of yours and watch where you're driving. I'll tell you when it starts raining!"--Everybody's Magazine.

Impertinent Pupil "A fool," said the professor to the student who asked a catch question, "can ask things a wise man can't answer.

"Is that the reason," asked a student in the back row, "why I flunked last term in this subject?"-Exchange.

What France Did for Me She brushed past my table and gave me a long, level look. It must have been because of the cutie across from me that I was too busy to notice her.

In a minuto or two she left her escort at the table opposite us, and came over to

me. "Don't you remember me?" she asked.

I had to confess I didn't. She was good looking, well dressed, and must have been about thirty. She had wonderful eyes!

"What! You can't recall me at all?" She was searching my face eagerly for some faint Ticker of recognition.

I lowered my gaze in embarrassment and shook my head in negation. The efforts of the Titian-haired cutie I was dining with to appear at ease were heightened by

а nervous brilliance. She kept spinning her empty glass and working her lips into all sorts of knowing smiles.

The situation was becoming strained; but I hated to ask her bluntly, "Well, who are you?" She spared me that.

Forest Laboratory Offers

Short Courses for September Madison, Wis., July 8.—The U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, located here, announces that it will give another group of industrial short courses in September. The schedule follows:

Kiln Drying, September 8-19; Wood Properties and Uses, September 8-13; Boxing and Crating, September 15-20; Gluing of Wood, September 22-27.

This arrangement makes it possible to take two or three courses in 'succession. Several combinations are possible, such as the Kiln Drying and Glue courses, the Box and Glue courses, or the Wood Properties course, the Box course, and the Glue course.

A definite policy of limiting the attendance in each class to approximately 15 has been adopted, since experience has proven that greater numbers cannot be enrolled without sacrificing personal instruction which is a feature of all courses.

The fees remain the same: $150 for the course in Kiln Drying, and $100 for each of the others.

WB ARB PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT

ASSOCIATION URGES FORESTER

FARMER CO-OPERATION

(Concluded from Page 17.) nearly perfect as any in the United States. We approve the legislation passed by the present session of the Louisiana Legislature, providing for the encouragement of industries that will utilize such waste products as stumps. We heartily endorse the Clark-McNary national forestry act as a great forward step toward the perpetuation of the nation's timber supply. Since agriculture and forestry should go hand in hand, we urge the closest cooperation between farmer and forester in Louisiana.

"Recognizing the great importance of inculcating in the boys and girls a proper appreciation of forestry and its needs, we urge the teaching of this subject in all the schools of the state in a systematic way. This association recommends that the observance of Arbor Day be strongly emphasized through the schools and various organizations in every community. The association feels it advisable to urge the landowners in this state to study the value of their idle lands for reforestation, and to call on the commissioner of conservation and the division of forestry for advice and assistance.

"We believe that Louisiana now has sufficient laws and adequate organization for making great progress in growing timber, and that the principal need to make the forestry movement successful is education. We recognize and here express our appreciation of the great assistance rendered in this work by the press of the state, and bespeak its continued hearty support and cooperation for the future.

"Further, in this educational work, we urge the active co-operation and assistance of all the women's clubs, the Boy Scouts, the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Civitan and other similar organizations. The association gives cordial endorsement to the Louisiana State University, its faculty and the summer forestry school, and we commend the Louisiana State University for establishing its school of forestry.”

Gum Advertising Committee

Laying Plans for Campaign Chicago, July 8.-Arrangements are now complete for a meeting of the managing committee of the Gum-Wood Service Bureau to be held at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, on July 10. Advice is had that all members of the committee expect to be present: Messrs. H. C. Dewey, chairman, Chapman & Dewey Lumber Company, Memphis, Tenn.; C. A. Bruce, E. L. Bruce Company, Memphis, Tenn.; H. D. Love, Turner, Farber, Love Company, Mem. phis, Tenn.; M. B. Cooper, Carrier Lumber & Mfg. Co., Sardis, Miss.; J. B. Edwards, Hillyer, Deutsch, Edwards, Inc., Oakdale, La.; J. M. Pritchard, secretary, 400 South State St., Chicago.

In discussing the purpose of the meeting, J. M. Pritchard, secretary of the managing committee, said an outline of "Rules of Operation” for the Gum-Wood Service Bureau would be formally adopted and released for publication, these rules to form the basis upon which the work will be undertaken and so acquaint subscribers, prospective subscribers and others interested with the exact nature of the bureau.

Another important subject which will come before the committee will be a preliminary, if not final, consideration of advertising agencies with a view to selecting the best qualified concern to handle this campaign. A number of advertising companies have solicited this account and it is thought that from the present number of applications an intelligent selection can be made.

3,000,000 Feet of Hardwood

Booked This Month for Export Memphis, Tenn., July 7.-The American Overseas Forwarding Company reports that it has booked approximately 3,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber and forest products, for immediate shipment, since the first of July, and it states that its bookings through Southern ports for the month of June totaled approximately 12,000,000. Most of its current business, as well as that handled during June, went to the United Kingdom. There was a slight lull in demand during the closing days of June, but the bookings of this company Monday, July 7, amounted to more than 100 cars, or in excess of 1,500,000 feet.

The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, with headquarters here and allied with the American Overseas Forwarding Company, says that car loadings are nning as much ahead of the corresponding time in 1922 as they are behind the same period in 1923.

Kansas City, Mo., July 7.—The new building code, which the code commit. tee of the local chamber of commerce is to submit to the city council, will restrict, but not banish, the wood shingle. A committee from the real estate board voiced the widely held opinion that the wood shingle should not be excluded from the residential districts.

The code committee, after a confer. ence with the realtors last week, indicated it would sanction the use of wood shingles outside the fire limits, provided substantial shingles were used, after being dipped in a preservative half the length of the shingle.

Suspension of Revised Rates

from South to East Asked Memphis, Tenn., July 7.-The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association and other shipping interests have filed a number of applications with the Interstate Commerce Commission seeking suspension of new tariffs carrying revised rates on lumber and lumber articles from points in the South to Eastern and Buffalo-Pittsburgh territories, on the ground that “they contain a great many unsatisfactory adjustments, involving rates, minimum weights, restrictive stake allowances, etc.”

It was announced some time ago that the association was carefully analyzing the new tariffs with a view to taking such action as it deemed proper in the interest of its members in the New Orleans, Helena, Memphis, Mobile and other offices in the southern hardwood producing area, and these suspension applications are the logical result of this study of the new tariffs.

Memphis Building Figures

Establish New High Record Memphis, Tenn., July 7.—This city established a new high record for all time in building operations during the first six months of 1924, with a total of $11,290,000, according to the official report of the building commissioner just made public here. This represents a gain of $1,660,000 over the first half of 1923, the previous banner year.

Permits issued during June, 1924, involved expenditures of $1,305,000, a loss of $211,009 compared with the same month a year ago.

It may also be noted, in connection with the building record being made here, that Memphis is ahead of any city in the South of Southwest with the single exception of Dallas, which shows a total of $14,850,000 for the sixmonth period,

Forest Fire Season Losses

Least in Pennsylvania History Harrisburg, Pa., July 8.—The state forest commission, which lately held a monthly meeting here, announced that the spring fire season showed unusually small losses. The number of fires was the smallest in the history of the department and the average acreage burned over was also the smallest. Receipts from the forests during May were $9,559.16 and a total of $4,044.21 was realized from timber operations in the Mon Alto State Forest. This in.

was largely from the sale of dead chestnut wood killed by the chest. nut blight.

STRUCK GETS CONTRACT Louisville, Ky., July 8.-The Struck Construction Co., Louisville, was the successful bidder for the Tuberculosis Hospital to be erected. Their bid was $427,000 for the building alone, and does not include power plant and other equipment. It is thought this will enable the building committee to complete the work within the limits of the million dollars realized from a bond issue. Work is expected to be started within 30 days.

Ontario Forest Report Shows

$3,708.410 Revenue to Province Toronto, Can., July 7.-The annual report of Hon. James Lyons, Ontario, Minister of Lands and Forests for the year ending October 31, 1923, shows that the amount accruing due to the Province for the year's timber and pulpwood operations was $3,708,410, though the revenue actually received was $2,693,421, partly due to the inability of some firms to liquidate their assets covering the season's cut in time to, remit before the close of the fiscal year. The amount received was about $1,750,000 less than the preceding year. The expenditures of the Department incly ed fires ranging $1,067,202; forest ranging and measurement of timber, $487,046, and reforestation, $214,547. The large increase in the cost of fire ranging is due to the extension of the system during the year; the timbered areas were visited by unprecedented fires and the entire organization had to be largely augmented and special provision made to meet unexpected demands. Reforestation cost over $60,000 beyond the previous year, due to the adding of two new forest stations and enlarging by several millions the nursery stock of the forest station at Norfolk.

Of 1343 fires occurring during the season, 670 did not get beyond 10 acres in size and 932 did not get beyond 100 acres. The total acreage burned over was slightly over 2,000,000 acres, of which 593,000 was timber land. means of more efficient fire protection 6 permanent steel lookout towers and 23 wooden towers were erected, making in all 117 towers in Northern Ontario, and 300 miles of telephone wires were constructed, bringing the total telephone mileage installed for forest fire protection up to 636 miles.

The total area covered by timber licenses was 17.76834 square miles, the cut from which was as follows: Pine saw logs, 345,678,635 feet b. m. Other saw logs, 55,114,408 feet b. m.; boom and dimension pine, 10,538,870 feet b. m.; other, 2,458,765 feet b. m.; pulpwood, 573,361 cords; railway ties, 1,659,392 pieces.

Pine Body's Inspection Charge

$15 a Day for Non-Subscribers New Orleans, July 9.-Announcement has been made by the Southern Pine Association that pursuant to the action of the Board of Directors at Memphis on June 26, effective July 1, on all claim inspections for non-subscribers, a charge of $15 per day will be made for the inspector's time, in addition to his expenses.

It was stated that the former per diem charge of $10 was established when the association began operations in 1915, when salaries were about 50 per cent lower than at present and when other expenses connected with the service were considerably less. The increase in the per diem charge for claim inspections for non-subscribers is intended to cover in part the additional costs of the service rendered.

Philadelphia, Pa., July 7.-Direct ar. tion was taken yesterday by the State Banking Commissioner, Peter G. Cameron, to stop irregular and unlawful practices engaged in by certain building and loan associations of the state when he notified all associations that henceforth the loaning of money must be limited to dwelling projects.

According to the ruling association funds may not, hereafter, be used in financing hotel, office building or business property.

Coupled with this decision, Mr. Cameron issued a warning against the unlawful charging of bonus for placing mortgages by officials of the associations. The letter was sent broadcast to the officials of building and loan associations in this city.

This action follows closely on the naming of a committee by the State Building and Loan Association League to investigate the charges previously made by Mr. Cameron. The committee is scheduled to make a report on June 28. That the banking commissioner did not wait for this committee report is strong indication that he purposes to take direct and summary action. The

inference is strengthened by the clause: "If necessary the department will invoke the powers conferred upon it by the law to correct the evils coniplained of."

In addition to the warnings indicated, Governor Pinchot instructed the Secre tary of the Commonwealth to submit all applications for building and loan charters to the State Banking Department for investigation. Last week 20 such applications were rejected on the ground that in the majority of the instances the officials proposed to charge bonuses for loans.

Each building and loan association was asked to acknowledge the receipt of the Banking Commisioner's letter so that officials may not later plead ignorance of the ruling.

The committee's report was submitted June 28, in the presence of 500 rep resentatives of more than 2,000 building and loan associations, who condemned the practices criticized by Mr. Cameron, A two-hour discussion, however, failed to confirm that committee's condemnation of the practice of syndicating loans so that the matter was resubmitted to a committee for further study. The condemnation of the practice of accepting or charging commissions en. gaged in by officers of certain associations was confirmed in a resolution.

County of New York Undertakes

to Reforest 1000 Acre Tract Toronto, Can., July 8.-The County of York has undertaken to reforest an area of 1,000 acres in Whitchurch township under the supervision of the Provincial government. The original proj. ect covering 600 acres on which a satisfactory beginning has been made has been enlarged and 400 acres additional will be taken over. A total of 176,500 trees, principally pine, has been planted this spring under highly favorable conditions and are growing well. The cost of planting was $1,479.

Great Southern Co. Tract

Under Retorestation Contract New Orleans, La., July 5.--Commissioner Berwick of the Louisiana depart. ment of conservation announces the acceptance of 14,810 acres of denuded lands of the Great Southern Lumber Co., to be placed under reforestation contract in accordance with Sec. 11 of Act 90 of 1922. This cut-over area of the Great Southern was inspected by State Forester V. H. Sonderegger, who appeared before the police jury at Franklinton June 6. The police jury approved of the contract, passing resolution to that effect. The Great Southern now has approximately 70,000 acres of denuded lands under reforestation with the state and enjoys the distinction of having the largest single reforestation area in the United States.

The Great Southern, represented by Col. W. H. Sullivan, vice-president and general manager and a leading practical apostle of the cause of reforestation, agrees by the contract to reforest these lands artificially or naturally as the case may be. All of the lands under the contract have been completely denuded of timber with the exception of small seed trees averaging two to four to the acre. Many sections of this large area are completely denuded of seed trees and must be developed through planting of seedlings. To meet this condition the Great Southern has this year established one of the largest nurseries that has ever been attempted by an individual land-owner.

LOUISVILLE'S BUILDING RECORD

Louisville, Ky., July 8.-Louisville started out the year 1924 with a prospective goal of 20 million dollars worth of building operations, and at the end of the first six months show a total of permits issued of a little more than half that amount. The total value as estimated in permits is $12,344,162. This is a gain of a little over a million over the first half of the last year. The permits for June were $1,130,346, which was really the smallest number of permits during the first half of June. April was the big month, with 700 permits and a total value of $4,659,690. Building Inspector J. L. Obier says operations are continuing and there are no signs of a slump in the construction of homes, so it looks like home building is to continue at a boom gait all through 1924.

Field Station Established

to Check Ravages of Beetle Washington, July 9.-By the estab. lishment of the forest insect field station at Albuquerque, N. Mex., the Department of Agriculture hopes to exterminate the pine cone beetle. The insect is causing severe and widespread de struction to the seed crop on the vast pine areas in northern New Mexico and Arizona. It is estimated that 90 per cent of the crop is a total loss and on burns and cutover lands the entire .crop of western yellow pine seed has been destroyed.
