The largest train load of lumber ever
hauled over the lines of the st. Paul
company passed through Edgerton on
Tuesday afternoon. The train was char
tered by the American Hardwood Lum-
Der company of Madison to carry 10000
feet of hardwood lumber from Crawford
and Vernon counties. There we're AS
box cars of large size drawn by two Of
the heaviest engines in use on this divis
ion. OF the three quarters of million
feet in the trainload, nearly all was oak,
the remainder being first and second
Eastwood. 1t is not generally known
that Wisconsin oak is the best that the
world produces and is in great demand
for high class work. Indeed the whole
train load is already sold to piano, desk
and furniture manufacturers in Chicago,
the American Hardwood Co. selling d.
rectly to the factories. Near the forward
end of the train were banners on each
side of the cars bearing the legend, "This
Train of Lumber is Shipped by the
American Hardwood Lumber Co. of
Madison, Wis.," in letters of liberal di-
mensions Mr.. w. S. Heddles, vice pres
ident and treasurer Of the company, &C.
companied the train as far as this sta
ton and stop was made long enough
for Bardeen to photograph it. A SINH
lar shipment was made to Chicago last
season, about this time of the year, but
the train was much lighter, only requir-
ing IS cars for the output.
