The Great Lumber Industry.

During the year 1897 the Iron Noun
tain road hauled into the city of st.
Louis 30, 113 carloads of lumber. 1t is
safe to say three-fourths of this lumber
was the output of Arkansas mills, while
the rest came from territory contiguous
thereto. This is the greatest amount
of lumber ever hauled by any road dur
ing any one year. In the manufacture
of the vast amount of lumber shipped
from this state thousands of men are
given employment. The lumber traffic
over the st. Louis Southwestern and
other roads in the state shows a heavy
increase during the past - months
Not only has there been an increase in
the number of men employed by mill
operators, but by the railroads as well,
in order to handle their increased bust
ness.
