Minneapolis this week accompanied
by C.. f. Winslow, who has recently
been appointed sales manager for that
company. Mr. Winton frequently comes
down to Minneapolis to familiarize
himself with market conditions and to
visit old friends. During the last year
they have had a very good trade, a
large majority of their product being
marketed in the west. Last year their
mill cut 10000, 900. feet and next year
it is the expectation to increase this
amount 100000 feet. The company
has on hand nov II, 000, 900 feet. Speak
ing of the character of trade. Mr.
Winton says that now they find a mar
ket through Dakota and northern Min
nesota for the bulk of their low grade
boards, even the No. boards. A few
years ago the trade ia that section de-
maaded the best quality. They still
find some difficulty in disposing of No.
dimension. For time the railroad
favored them with a reasonable freight
rate aud they were able to move quite
an mount of stock to the south. With
the restoration of the nineteen cent
rate, however, it has practically pro-
bibited a Continuation of this trade.
At present TIL company have quite an
