Fine Varieties, Valuable for Veneer Purposes, Are
Always Desired by Mills.
The search for black walnut logs, crotches and
stumps of fine markings continues to bring big
prices in the veneer trade. The demand for walnut
in furniture, pianos and phonograph and radio cabi-
nets is a normally lively one which interests those
concerned in the buying of walnut timber.
Selling black walnut logs is a sideline in the farm-
ing business of E. S. Schloeman, owner of the River-
view stock farm near Judson, Minn. He brought in
two recently to a Mankato lumber dealer, nine and
eight feet in length, for which he was paid $113 cash.
The logs were cut from a tree said to have been two
hundred and forty years old.
But the most alluring phase of the black walnut
lumber business is the search for crotches and oddly
shaped stumps, which when strikingly marked are
sold at very large sums for veneer purposes. The
great run on walnut for gun stocks during the World
War did not exhaust the country's supply although it
added to the scarcity of the timber.
Hidden in heavily timbered bayous and swamps of
the Mississippi in southern Illinois, giant trees are
standing that compare favorably with those of other
timber sections, according to R. B. Miller, state for-
ester. Only the buyers who survey swamps in search
of lumber and those in the immediate neighborhood
are aware such trees exist within the state, he said.
One tree recently cut in Union county was two
hundred and fifty years old and made 5,000 board
feet of lumber. It was one hundred and twenty-one
feet high and made a log fifty-five feet in length and
fifteen feet in circumference.
OBJECT—SAXOPHONE FREE.
A saxophone fan whose desire for a new instru--
ment was overpowering last week hurled a padded
brick through a window of the Lyon & Healy store
at Wabash and Jackson, Chicago. The object seem-
ingly, was one of the Lyon & Healy Couturier gold-
plated de luxe saxophones.
The marauder showed
good judgment, but the aperture made by the brick
did not permit the brick thrower to reach the
instrument.
DEALER IS CONCERT PROMOTER.
Edward J. Meyer, the Madison, Ind., talking ma-
chine dealer, arranged the concert held in the Grand
Opera House Sunday, November 2, when -Arthur
Collins and Byron C. Harlan, Edison artists, ap-
peared. They were assisted in their voice numbers
by William J. Reed, flutist and saxophonist.
