NOTE IMPROVEMENT
IN LUMBER TRADE
ONE RAILROAD RUNNING EOUR
32-CAR SPECIAL TRAINS
TO EAST.

Indications of a steady improve
ment in the lumber business which
mas been noted in the last two months
are seen by railroad men as well as
mill operators in the fact that one
railroad alone is now running four
special lumber trains from Puget
Sound to Eastern points. One of
them came from Hoquiam and con-
sisted of 80 cars carrying approx
mately 100000 feet of lumber for
Baltimore concern, said to be the
largest train ever sent out by one
mill.
Thirty-two cars of mixed lumber
and shingles were carried by this road
out of the Willapa Harbor district,
while two more 32-car specials are
due from Hoquiam in the next few
days, to complete the 3,0OO,OOO-foot
rush order for the Baltimore concern.
There is more lumber business ap-
parently in sight than there has been
for many months, say railroad men.
The movement in the last two months
has shown steady improvement
over the same period last year. East
ern markets are running low and
many inquiries are being received.
Prices show indications of advanc-
ing. Although railroad men say the
present increased demand may be
only furry, they are inclined to be-
lieve it is the forerunner of strong
winter and fall business.
Indications also point to increased
shipments of lumber by water. The
government engineering commission
in Alaska is in the market for L.
100000 feet of lumber, while there
is a stronger demand for lumber
along the west coast of South Amer
lea and in Australia.
The railroads themselves are doing
more buying. The New York Cen
trail railroad has ordered 500 auto
mobile cars from the Haskell & Bar
ker Car company for the Michigan
Central railroad. One thousand box
cars, 500 36-foot and 500 40-foot,
are still pending. Original inquiries.
it is understood, called for 1900 box
cars and 500 automobile cars.
The Bangor & Aroostook railroad
is in the market for 100 Acton fiat
cars.
The French government is report
ed as ordering 1000 gondola cars
from the Eastern Car company.
The state railways of Chile will
shortly invite bids Cor 700 freight
cars.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
road wants $50 drop-end gondola,
100 automobile cars and 100 box
cars.
The Atlantic Coast Line railroad
has ordered $50 box cars from the
Mount Vernon Car Manufacturing
company.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway is in the market for 500
stock cars.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way recently ordered SO caboose cars
from the American Car & Foundry
company.
The Wells Fargo Express company
has ordered 35 express refrigerator
cars from the Pullman company.

ments. Secretary Payne read teIe
grams from Hon. Morris Sheppard
Hon. Louis J. wortham. former Gov
ernor T. NJ. Campbell and w. T.
Eldridge. A letter was read from
Judge John l.. Lyle OF Waco ON the
subject Of river Improvement. Judge
Lyle said at the present rate being
made by the government II would re-
quire twenty-four years to complete
the work. He urged immediate ac-
ton by the counties along the river,
each county issuing bonds In proper
ton to its assessed valuation and
with the proceeds go ahead with the
work. He believed In this way the
work could be done in three years.
Senator A. r. Mccollum Of Waco
was introduced and made one OF the
best speeches OF the meeting on the
subject. Waterways Transportation
in Aid OF Commerce" The Senator
said the people OF Waco were more
particularly interested In the navI-
cation end OF the project and gave
the reasons therefor. but said he
could readily understand why the
people Of this section and further
south were more interested in con-
servation. His people. he said. had
decided to recognize the two as OF
equal importance and Join hands with
the people favoring conservation and
do all in their power for the accom-
plishment OF both. He closed with
an eloquent appeal for thorough co
operation and persistent effort.

Der. the vast number Of projects com
Ing before them. and the persisten!
effort required to enlist government
aid. Indifference would not get any
thing. Things do not come that way
now. You have to 90 after II and
stay after Il II you wish to win. He
said he believed the river could be
made navigable from Waco to the
sea and the valley lands also pro
tected from overflow. He pledged
his loyal support to the project and
called on those present to get busy
and keep busy. for In that way only
could they win.
Hon. J. W. Munson OF Brazoria
County was introduced by Homer ID.
Wade. In Mr.. wade's Introductory
talk he took a shot at the Bryan peo-
pie for their lack Of interest as shown
by their failure to attend the sessions
Of the convention. All present had
TO acknowledge. though regretfully.
that II was deserved. as there were
scarcely dozen Bryan people In the
house.
Mr.. Munson spoke on BENEFITS OF
Energy and Action In the Future"
and strongly emphasized the fact
that energy and action were the only
elements that would win the fight.
They had won In every great accom-
plishment the world has ever known.
and they must win In this fight. II Il
Is won.
