BIG DEAL
IN TIMBER
Hood Lumber Company Makes Gil
Jacksonburg.

One of the largest cash timber
deals ever made in West Virginia
was closed at Marietta recently,
when the Hood Lumber company
purchased from John Mills what is
known as the Hillard tract, contain
ing nearly 5000 acres of timber, To-
Gated In Wetzel county on the West
Virginia Short Line near Jackson
burg.
This tract contains some Of the
finest white oak and yellow poplar
timber now standing in West vlr.
ginia. 1t is estimated by some of
the best experts that the tract Will
cut from 10000, 600 to $4,000, 900
feet. The price is not given out
but It Is said to be very large sum
of money, approximately $6,oOo,-
600.
The Hood Lumber Company ex-
poets to commence operations at
once, as they have several million
feet Of orders now on their books.
They expect to commence shipping
lumber in the next thidty days.
Their plan of operation viii be diff
ferent from any other large concern
operating large tracts OF timber. In
stead of installing a big plant, cost
ing many thousands of dollars, they
viii install quite a number of small
mills which win be located in the
heart of the timber.
They expect to build two tram
roads about three miles long, and all
the timber can be brought to two
loading points on the railroad. The
mills viii be set along the tram
roads, and the lumber loaded d.
rectly from the mill onto the trucks,
and will be brought directly to the
cars In this maner.
