LUMBER MARKET
CONTINUES GOOD
PRICES ARE JUMPING AND MILLS
NOT ABLE TO HANDLE
ORDERS.

| The condition OF the lumber market
continues to improve from day to day.
| Prices are jumping and the mills are
not able TO handle the orders that
come this way. Records of 1906, which
| were considered the best ever. have
been broken and a new record made in
lumber prices. Standard decking,
which sold then for SIS, is now bring
ing $40 per thousand. This stock,
right off the saw without going
through the dry kiln, brings SIS, the
1906 high record. Other classes of
lumber are bringing better prices than
prevailed nine years ago
Heretofore wnen prices of lumber
go up, numbers of little mills spring
up over the country and reap the ben
efits of good prices This condition
does not obtain at this time for the
reason that most locations near a rail
road line have been cut cut and the
long haul necessary to get the lum-
Der to the railroad makes operations
too expensive. So there is little dan
ger of the market being overstocked
from this source.
A number of new operations have
recently been started in this territory,
including the Smith Lumber Co., Pa
chuta; the McCreary Lumber Co,
Quitman; Howard Lumber Co, Ha-
ney; Elliott Cobb and Barnett-Bridge
Lumber Co, at Heidelberg, and Alex
ander Lumber Co., at Vossburg.
The Culpepper Lumber Co, at Hell
delberg, has sold its holdings to the
Mossville Lumber Co., at MOssville,
and will no longer operate its plant.
The J. S. Haney Lumber Co. has
renewed operations at Star, Miss, aft
er being shutdown for a year Henry
KrOhn, a Harrison county mill opera
tor, has purchased the timber rights
to several hundred acres of land at
Back Bay, near Biloxi from the Gay
Ellabee Co., and will begin operations

RAILROAD GIVES RATES.

Jackson, Miss. Nov 26.-The Ala
bama & Vicksburg Railroad has put
into effect under protest a three cent
rate on grain and grain products. in
Guiding flour, from Vicksburg to Jack
son, in compliance with a recent Or
der of the railroad commission.
The rate was ordered by the com
mission after the Jackson Board of
Trade took up the matter, through its
attorney, Gen. George Butler, with
the railroad commission. 1t was ar
gued that an eight cent rate which
has prevailed between Vicksburg and
Jackson, was unfair, in view of the
fact that the rate from Vicksburg to
Meridian was only three and half
cents.
In meeting the arguments of attor-
neys Judge r. II. Thompson, counsel
for the railroad, cOntended that the
rate from Vicksburg to Meridian
should be increased, and the Jackson
Vicksburg rate remain undisturbed.
The railroad commission considered
the matter at its last session, and is
sued an order requiring the carrier to
put the three cent rate into effect on
November 23. Now this order has
been complied with under protest
which is taken as an indication that
some step, not yet made clear, will be
taken by the railroad to have what
they claim will be a more equitable
rate named later.
The Meridian Board of Trade was
considerably aroused when the rate
question on grain. grain products and
flour, arose, and many kilograms were
sent to the commission asking that
Meridian people be given an Oppor
tunity to be heard if anything relating
to the Meridian-Vicksburg rate came
up. However. that part of the matter
has not been formally taken up.

WANT EXPOSITION.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. ga deter
mined effort to secure an exposition
in celebration of Mississippi's one-hun-
dredth anniversary of entry into the
union of states is to be made a move
ment with the object in view of secur-
ing a legislative appropriation to as
sist the cause having been started
here.
A meeting of Jackson and Kinds
county people has been held here to
inaugurate the movement, and the ex-
position will not be local but a state
wide institution, with the object in
view Of attracting the attention of peo-
pie in all parts of the world to adj
vantages offered by Mississippi to
farmers and cattle raisers. The move
ment already has gained considerable
headway, and prominent men are push
ing it forward with great energy.
1t is estimated that fully half mil
lion dollars will be required to pull
off an exposition of the magnitude con-
templated, and people here contend
that the capital of the state is the log
ical place in which to hold it.
The plan is to have the exposition
open in October, 1917, and remain open
for six months. Thousands of visitors,
ii is argued, will come during that
period, and visit many sections of the
state, get a better idea of the oppor.
tunities in this Part of the county, and
decide to locate
The project is meeting with hearty
favor from many of the Legislators,
and some of them already have pledg-
ed themselves to support a state APP

TO INVESTIGATE OIL
RESOURCES Of STATE
MISSISSIPPI GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
is TAKING AN INTEREST
IN THE MATTER.

A project is on foot which may lead
TO thorough and as far as practical
BILE, detailed investigation with a view
to ascertaining the extent of the oil
and gas resources of the state. There
is an impression prevalent that strata
bearing oil and gas underlie the soil
surface in different sections of Mis-
sissippi, and considerable inquiry is
directed to the State Geological Sur
Ney for information with regard to
these possibilities.
III fact, the interest in oil occur
acute since the issuance of a press
bulletin report OF the United States
Geological Survey covering the Vicks-
/ burg area The Mississippi Geological
| Survey has been for some time past
, engaged in cooperative soil survey
work along with the United States

Ieanwhile, and without waiting for

of the field, stock companies are being
formed or projected in different sec
tons. with a view to exploiting in
certain localities in which surface in
dications lead to the conclusion that
OF. and gas may exist below the sur
