Leader-Dispatch:
AT Pine Bluff we are a day behind
scheduled time. Pine Bluff is the be-
ginning Of the great lumber region,
the greatest industry in Arkansas.
The first large mill in the yellow pine
district is located here and we saw the
interesting process of saving and
planning two hundred and fifty thous-
and feet of lumber in one day. We
stayed here all night and left for
Stamps, Arkansas. at a. m.
To-day we made more trips through
the great lumber mills at Stamps. We
stopped at Kendall's, where Frank
endall recently lost four million feet
of lumber in big fire, with no insur-
ance. The mill was saved, and the
sheds are being rebuilt rapidly. The
mill has capacity of sixty thousand
feet a day, and there is no evidence,
so far AS interruption of business is
concerned, that an awful fire visited
the plant in January.
THE stop at Fordyce, in the heart
OF the lumber district was an interest.
ing hour. Here are immense sheds,
and the mill has band saw output of
one hundred and fifty thousand feet a
day. The officers Of the Fordyce com.
pany treated us grand. The employees
OF the Fordyce company take a deep
interest in the property. and it is one
OF the best conducted plants in the
counry.
AT the Eagle Mills Lumber com.
pany we were welcomed by brass
band. and the party escorted to the
mills, We wtie expected to STAY al!
night, and big dinner. cake walk
and other entertainment had been pro-
Vlded for us by Manager Gates. but as
We were day behind we had to fore

was astonished at tho capacity of this
mill. and stood in wonderment over
the manner in which the lumber was
