Passing of W. T. Carter _~~ T is the sad duty of the " Line" to record the

death of W. T . Carter, February 23rd, at Houston, Texas. The large organization at the head

-~-,- of which Mr. Carter stood for many ears attributes their strength, their effici- . V tV ency and their accomplishments to tf' I.. r.J his genius and untiring energy. I ;iv'''

Mr. Carter's span of life covered a tV]'\ range of actitvity and large accomplishments that few peopl~ dFe-~ ~ realizing. His intensely prac.tical vision enabled him many years ago to conceive the possibilities of East Texas timber resources, and through subsequent years of toil and effort he developed, constructed and carefully built up a business in this line that was crowned with such success that from it several large organizations have come that are a great credit to the State and Country. The original lumber enterprise is still being operated very profitably.

To those who knew him, will come a great consolation and a great satisfaction in the realization that before he went, he was permitted to <!ccomplish his great purpose. His personal ambition in life.

This section was the scene of real lumber activity at that time, mill towns since come and gone. Old timers will recollect the Corrigan Planer that took rough stock from the many surrounding mills, the Kurth & Com-

pany mill at Kurth, three miles east, then the Norris & Crawford mill at Barnum or Bowers, a small mill at Chester, Allen & Company at Momile, Watson & Dobbs at Bilium, and~E;-R Cfr'Na-n-L-umber Company at Colmesneil. the largest of all.

West of Corrigan was thick with small m ills at Gall and Asia owned by Allan & Company, inside two and one half miles, the Dick Hayward mill at Carmonia, Thompson & Tucker mill at Willard, McDuffy and Kurth at McDuffy, the Josserand Mill at Josserand and the Big Mill of the lot at Groveton, the Trinity County Lumber Company. Further west at Saron the Anderson & Cameron mill, etc.

Then C. Bender & Sons were operating a few mills south of Corrigan on the "Rabbitt" Berrings mill a little farther down, all mills ranging from 20 to 40 M capacity excepting the Trinity County mill of 100M feet. Mr. Carter was born in Cherokee

County, 65 years ago, his..father, Jno. J. Carter, and also mother taught "School in Ang.elina County early -days at "Old Homer," both being remembered in high esteem by the 'Older people of the county who went to them for schooling, they being well educated and of the highest integrity. Our Judge, E. J . Mantooth 'Of this City, and "Will Carter," as we can well call him, and many

W . T . CARTER

Most of the mills were, of course, operating on small tracts of timber, and i.: was here Mr. Carter's vision came into play-to secure vast timber resources for a more permanent development which led, after a severe fire loss at Barnum, to the present location at Camden and the building of the Moscow and San Augustine Railroad to develop . his

'Others went to this school together, both have been lifelong devoted friends.

Mr. Carter's saw mill experience began at "Trinity Station," about two miles east of the present town of Trinity, in 1881, moving later to Barnum on the S3bine & East Texas, (now Katy) about 8 miles east of Corrigan, buying out the AIf W. Morris mill and timber holdi~gs .

property. The loss of the Barnum mill by fire from a railway

l@comotive was a severe one from a financial standpoint. Mr. Carter secured judgment against the railroad for $100,000.00 considered by the railroad officials as just and right for the property had been rendered for taxes on that basis, but before final payment a lost contract

New Mill at Trinity, Texas r~ N January 8th the Rock Creek Lumber Com~ pany started their brand new Saw Mill in oper~ ation a fter five months shutdown, due to the

burning of their old mill the latter part of July. The old mill was furnished by the Lufkin Foundry

and contained two 8-ft. Bands and a small Pony Gang and was built in 1909 and had the reputation of being one of the best mills in the country.

The new mill also contains two Bands but a larger Gang has been installed, increasing the capacity of the mill about 25%. The Edger trimmer capacity, of course, has been increased accordingly, in fact, the building was made 8 feet wider than the old mill to allow ample deck and gang storage for logs and Cants.

SLOW BURNING CONSTRUCTION The new mm is of heavy timber, slow burning con

struction, the frame b eing covered with galvanized corrugated iron, all timbers below the floor being creosoted and above floor, Mill White, there being no light wood construction about the mill.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS Naturally, the new mill has many improvements over

the old one. Larger and heavier equipment being used throughout, as well as every device possible to facilitate production, save labor or make life easier for the worker, the keynote of manufacturing success today.

LOG HANDLING MACHINERY- ADJUSTABLE CUT OFF SAW

The logs are brought in on the usual endless chain which is made to stop and start so that long sticks as they are cut in the woods can be cut into suitable lengths. A new feature, however, being an improved adjustable cut off saw so that the log can be cut to exact length quickly and accurately, which is impractical to do when the log chain is jerked to bring the log to the mark on a stationary saw. This is an improvement that all mill men will appreciate who bring their logs in full lengths and cut them at the mill.

The slide is built in a most substantiaal manner, being lined with cast iron for the dogs to slide upon, also on sides as well, which will last the life of the mill.

The logs are handled by the usual steam kickers and loaders and HOO HOO Niggers which are now a part of the Lufkin Line, and are made with many improvements in design and more substantial construction over the old type machines.

BANDS, CARRIAGES AND FEED Both sides of the mill are equipped nearly alike, ex

cept one is long (32') and the other short (20'). Both Bands being equipped for 14" saws single cutting.

Both carriages have three blocks and are entirely of steel with all latest improvements; Trout Set Warks, 60-lb. R. R. steel Carriage track, etc., being operated by 12" steam Feeds of the revolving type w ith Trout Double Valves, Shelby Rods and Lufkin all steel Universal Carriage Brackets.

It was in this mill that the Lynch Dogger, also the Lynch Cleaners, were invented by Westly Lynch, a well known sawyer, and, of course, the new carriages are completely equipped with these devices. •

LIVE ROLLS AND TRANSFER MACHINERY All the Rolls in the mill are made of heavy 12" pipe,

30" long, set in frames completely surrounding the roll and forming tl:r:::e bearings at gears which :Ire com-

pletely housed and all oil tight so that the splash system of oiling can be used effectively. This is one of our best improvements, completely housing the gears which used to cause so many ac;cidents, at the same time providing economical and efficient oiling, an idea we notice is being copied by our competitors, but as " Imitation is the greatest flattery," can't we feel highly honored.

Steam Can lifters are provided on each side to Gang ; Automatic trip transfer skids to edgers, Slashers, etc., are all made of structural steel and built into rolls.

GANGS AND EDGERS The Gang is 40" wide, 16" s troke, of the Diamond

make, and is driven independent from the mill by a special H . S. & G. Twin Engine. It has every improvement and is the heaviest machine for its size ever built by that Company.

Both Edgers are of the heavy duty type, 72" wid e: with six 24" saws each and 20" drive belts, Lever Shifts Set Works and all latest improvements.

SLASHER AND TRIMMERS As will be noted from the illustrations, the slasher is

LEVEL on the floor, easily accessible and so designed that saw breakage is by far the exception.

The saw arbor is of the sectional continuous type with 12" collars and universal adjustable boxes, being made to cut 16", 32" or 48" lengths as may be required. The secret of a slasher that gives no trouble is having sufficient chains to carry " Shorts" through; one chain each side the saw and at least two between them, does the trick.

The trimmer is the latest design of the Lufkin Overhead machine with Air Lift cylinders for quick operation, very necessary when 130,000 feet is put over, mostly boards, in 10 hours. This machir:e o rries 24" saws and 8" endless belts and will cut through 6" if desired.

POWER AND TRANSMISSION MACHINERY The transmission end of the average Saw Mill seldom

receives the consideration it should have by the average designer of mill equipment. Badly proportioned pulleys and gearing are a great handicap in practical operationexcess belt expense, loss of tirr.e, etc. In this respect the new mill is " up to the minute."

It is driven by a Twin, 20 x 30 H. S. & G. heavy duty Engine, this being the same Engine as the old mill except the 144 x 45" wheel which is new and was built in our shops. The main drive belt is 44" wide driving the entire mill except the Gang, which is driven by a separate Twin Engine of special design for this service.

The main line and counter shafting is all amply large for the work with extra wide face pulleys to be "easy on belts," and are so designed and placed so that either Band Mill or any other important unit may be stopped or started with ease.

Special attention is called to the big Corner Belt, driving two Edgers being 20" wide, turning the corner with 48" pulley on twenty foot centers and the original belt will, judging by the experience of similar drives, last the life of the plant.

Special attention is called to the design of the main receiving pulley and main tightener. Our experience in handling break down line shaft jobs is that the only safe design for the main receiving pulley and shaft is as shown (see page 6) a forged shaft with a continuous solid hub (not douhle hub) pulley; none have ever broken, then the bore and key fit are absolutely assured.

4 The LUFKIN LINE

New Mill at Trinity, Texas (Co n.in l!ed ft e m rage 2)

The main tightener is in t wo sections, 48" x 23", turned all over and bolted together, insuring absolute running balance, the most perfect pulley. All other tighteners are of the web center pattern, turned all over and put in running balance.

TRASH CONVEYOR SYSTEM

The dust from every machine is conveyed to fuel room as is also the Hog Fuel in the most simple and direct manner which has proven very satisfactory. All of the slabs and trimmings drop directly into a sixty-inch Harvey Hog which eats it all without choking or suffering from indigestion, as some hogs do. If sufficient fuel is on hand there is a trap door arrangement which shoots the slabs, etc., into burner conveyor, cutting out the hog entirely at will.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR MAKING MOULDING

A special feature of the mill that is worthy of notice is the making of moulding which was done in the old mill on the sorter, the edging strips being taken off sorter and worked up in a kindergarten saw mill just outside of mill proper, with all the attendant refuse and costly handling expense.

Edgings suitable for moulding are now taken off trimmer transfer before being trimmed and transferred endwise back to the regular saw mill edger which is arranged to cut 1, 1%, etc., so that all the waste goes through

~_-'--_ __ ~s"'la=sher and regular chan!!.els and the moulding goes over the trimmer and is trimmed in usual way ready square edged for drying. No extra labor or equipment to speak of compared to the old method outside the mill.

Weare very proud of the new mill and are anxious for as many mill men as possible to see it. We feel sure they will be amply repaid for their trip to see a new, modern equipped mill that did business right froIp the first day it started.

Passing of W. T. Carter (Contin ued from P age 1)

w as found, releasing the railroad from fire liability, to which Mr. Carter said "yes, that's my signature," and the whole loss fell on him. No doubt · the loss turned out to be a gain-for it takes reverses of this character to bring out and show the worth, the metal that make and develop great men.

The writer's personal acquaintance with Mr. Carter began in 1905, finding in him a man who was master of every detail of his business. He knew every job on the plant from actual experience, he even knew how to file <: nd hammer the big circular saws, in fact he had a hobby for it as well as a habit to secure well manufactured lumber and he knew how to tell others and do it himself, if n ecessary.

The circular and band mill built at Camden in the "n ineties" was burned in 1910-when our Company sold them the new steel mill, the first in Texas. With great reluctance he put in band mills, remarking that the days of "cheap lumber are over," but he afterwards concluded that the saving in kerf and the " over run" made profit never dreamed of with a circular, but it was his nature to S::lve the timber, even at higher costs . He did not like waste.

Our experience in building the new mill was agreeably pleasant. Un~ortun ately we had, durin g the fillin g- o f this contract, tl:~ only " strike" we ever had, which caused

him considerable delay, and annoyance. Yet he patientiy stayed with us, where under our contract he couid easily have taken the advantage. He had the reputation for being a close trader, yet always ·fair and easy to deal with. He wanted what was right but nothing more.

My first impressions of Mr. Carter were that he was "an old fashioned business American" in his office and business habits. The plain office with the big safe-the letter copy press-simple fixtures , perhaps one or two office men. Yes, old fashioned, yet what a pleasing contrast of simplicity to the present highly organized Auditor ridden research statistical card index efficiency? methods we have today to protect ourselves from goodness knows what.

Simplicity, plain dealing, a clear, well trained mind, prompt, just decisions and absolute integrity, were the key notes of his character and wonderful success. Display or ostentation had no place in his makeup, yet once he slipped-when he first went to Houston they took advantage of the country boy that is in all of us and made him " King of the Carnival." I never will forget the Auditorium scene and the knightly costume. I know he was the most uncomfortable man in town. He afterwards remarked with a chuckle, "they had to have a goat, someway. '

True he made a fortune-honestly made, and well earned, he made money easy, yet there is a more beautiful side to his life and character that will live in the hearts of his friends longer than his monetary achievements. He was always a gentleman to high or low, white or black all received courteous consideration, a tramp could approach him anywhere. Loyal to hii;l friends sometimes to a fault-never known to turn down a worthy applicant for help .. and_ his many deeds of substantial help to the needy will probably never be known except to the recording angels above where he will have his greatest balance in the bank of the Kingdom. -

Mr. George Kelley remarks regarding Mr. Carter, his partner in the Carter Kelley Lumber Company, is typical-I never knew a man "of such unquestioned honesty and integrity, invaluable as a counse~or and advisor, a genial, kindly, lovable, friendly character."

Lastly, if the departed spirit of the dead could speak, Mr. Carter's happiest moments would have been to see the large course of devoted friends pay their respect. Men from all walks of life and no doubt happiest of all to see so many of his colored employees who came all the way from Camden, marty of whom have been with him for thirty years. One old man, nearly blind, who worked for his father, came to see " Master" laid away.

Texas has lost one of her greatest men-a loss that will be realized only as the ye<: rs go by.-W. C. T .

Take a piece of steel. Fashion it into a tool.

Temper

. Until it is tempered the tool is soft and worthless. But temper It too much an:! at the first rough usage the tool breaks and flies to pieces.

Temper in a man works the same way. The man without temper is like untempered steel. The pos

sibility is there, but without temper the man is soft and flabbya useless tool.

Too much temper, and at the first rough usage the man flies to pieces. H e stands the gaff n o better than the over-tempere:! tool.

Just as every other natural quality of man, temper has its use. But temper is for use, not abuse.

Give a m an temper with self-control and one has the winning combination. His temper gives him the keen edge necessary to accomplish his daily task. When temper is demanded he has it. But h is self-control protects him from its abuse. He gives and ben ds and d oes not fly to pieces. He has the resiliency which brinv,s him back after the shock, ready for the next job on hand.

Men, like tools, need temper, but temper of right kind, in the r '.ght quantity.

FRED L . BURDETTE

Construction E ngineer

Practically every mill operator, especially the mill mechanics know "Fred" all through the Southwest, for as the old saying goes, he has been born into the business, for he knows it from most every standpoint, especially the practical operation and the construction of a modern saw mill.

Mr. Burdette was born 42 years ago at Cartersville, Ga., his father being a millwright of experience and influence. Later moving to Alabama and Mississippi , where schooling was finished and where he worked and finished his trade.

Mr. Burdette started building mills early in life, the first one being a mill for the Connors Brothers Lumber Company, Sc'minaiy, M~ss . Later one for the Brookhaven Lumber Com pany, Hattisburg, Miss. Then for a number of years he was Superintendent of Construction for Thrall & Shea, and has a number of mills to his credit, t hat are giving the very best of results.

The last few yea rs M r. Burdette is doing construction work on his own account , building or rebuilding mills as opportunity offers. The last plant being the new mill of the Rock Creek Lumber Company , Trinity, Texas, which was thoroughly and quickly done to th ~ satisfaction o~ all concerned.

Mr. Fortner, or as he is better known am ong h is friends, Frank, is the purchasing agent and office manager for the Rock Creek Lumber Company, of Trinity, Texas, which place he has fill ed with credit to himself and profit to his company, for several years.

He was with them last summer when they suffered the misfortune of the loss of their saw mill by fire , and on his broad shoulders rested much of the worry and trouble incident to the securing material and delivery of same in the construction of the new mill w hich was completed the fir st of Jan uary.

Go Foward Forgetting the things that are behind us in war and peace and business and losses, let us press

forward that we may regain business, recoup losses, that we may recreate prosperity and employ

ment, that we may bring happiness where there is now poverty and sorrow, and profitable employ

ment for the millions now seeking work.

The task before us is big enough to stir the heroic in American manhood, but the prizes to be

won are great enough to stimulate all the latent ambitions of every man and woman.

Here are 105,000,000 people, taken as a whole the most virile, energet ic and resourceful in the

world, living under one flag, unvexed by the arbit rary dividing lines of European nationalities, oc

cupying as trustees the most richly endowed and superbly located country known to man.

Our resources are beyond the power of our m inds to grasp or of words to portray.

Here in almost endless abundance are the resources on which to build an industrial and agri

cultural wealth greater than that of all the world t oda .

With 6 per cent of the world's popUlation and 6 per cent of the world's land area, we already

produce from 40 to 60 per cent or over of nearly all the greatest products of the world; have

nearly half the world's railroad m ilage and a third of the world's accumulated wealth, and this.

wealth is more evenly distributed than in any other country on earth through all the ages of the

past or present.

And yet we have scarcely begun to develop our natural resources as measured by the vast extent .. •

Are you prepared to meet the conditions of normal times again-normal, yet 'Changed-and.

unless you change with them, meeting new, healthy and int ense competition that compels econom

ical production, never before known, you will be behind the procession of Success.

Let us, therefore, put our plants in the best possible condition for economical manufacture,

using every possible mechanical device to save labor and lighten human toil. Discar d and replace

old and unprofitable tools and equipment . Have the best working conditions, light, air and heat,

so that your men can do their best and be happy.

Let us build a mighty network of highways, so badly needed; let us modernize and extend our

rail and water transportation fac ilities, build the million or more dwellings so badly needed, build

the schools, hotels and churches required to keep up with our growing popUlation.

There is enough work which needs to be done, and the doing of which would enrich our country,

to keep fully employed every laborer in the country.

Down, then, with pessimism and inactivity, and up with optimism and progress! Forward!

We happen to have a Jetter from Mr. Booth, Manager of this Company, reading as follows: W. C. Trout, Lufkin, Texas. Dear Sir:

For your information would say that our saw mill last month run like a two-year old plant, we averaged 101,000 feet per day and were cutting in a very hard class of stock, also we cut a considerable amount of oak for which the mill was given no credit.

I thought you would be interested in the performance and take this opportunity of advising you of our past month s work.

Yours truly, ROCK CREEK LUMBER CO.

E. J. Booth, Mgr. Illustrations of the Rock Creek Plant in this issue is

a very good illustration of Mr. Burdette's millwright work, and we are sure that anyone who will take the trouble to visit this plant, will be highly pleased, for the construction work, we are sure, as well as the equipment throughout will pass muster by anyone in the business who is able to judge.

Mr. Burdette is at present time rebuilding the Dayton plant, owned by the West Interests, changing into a Hardwood Mill.

The " Line" claims a host of Millwrights as its friends for it is these men who we get most of our new ideas from, for they are on the " firing line" all the time, and as a class, they are the best fellows on earth, but we must hand it to Mr. Burdette, who always seems to work with a smile, regardless of difficulties that naturally go with construction work, and we think a millwright that can build a mill , especially under difficulties that were prevalent the last half of 1920, satisfying the millwrights, the owner of the plant and the machinery man an at the same time, handling as big a job as this 'is, without leaving a "sour taste" in anybody's mouth, is :some millwright."

~EW of customers know that when occasion re~~ quires we can make, from Billet stock, gang or r{~ engine shafts as large as 12", and fourteen feet

- long. We recently made one in an emergency in four day by having our new three thousand pound hammer, the largest in the Southwest.

In connection with the hammer we use a forging or heating furnace 24" x 24" x 6' inside, fired by oil that heats the largest Billets in a very short time, large size pictures of which will appear in the " Line' shortly.

Few people realize what a wonderful machine a good hammer is. Its "floating" lever and control device make it perform with surprising accuracy. Some hammer men are so accustomed to make it do their will, striking just the blow required, light, medium or heavy, that they can lay an egg on the anvil, touch it, and yet not break it. The same stunt has been done with a watch, touching, but not breaking the crystal. While we cannot make any such claim, still our big hammer crew are experts on forgings of every description that will be handled to your entire satisfaction.

We would like you to see us make 700-lb. Drill Forgings, some of which we recently shipped to Mexico. They were eighteen inches in diameter, thirty inches long and forged fourteen inches inside diameter, being made on our large mandrel.
