Three of the in i I Ik at Orange have been dimed down this week by the
high water, the overflow from the Sabine having worked up under the
mill plants to such a depth as to put the drive belts under water, making
It Impossible for the plants to operate. With these three mills out of com-
mission. of course It has not required so many ears to fill the needs of
the shippers and the complaint of car shortage has not been so vociferously
heard as was the ease last week when the mills were all running with one
exception. The Southern Pacific railroad has sent a little better supply
of cars in here this week, while the Santa Fe broke her record and sent
ten or twelve cars In that helped out matters considerably. The Sabine
river Is higher than it has been for n long time and until the waters
recede somewhat the mills that are now down, the Orange 1,umber Company,
the lower mill of the Lutcher & Moore Lumber Company, and the Orange
Sawmill Company, will have to remain Idle
The heavy rains have played havoc with logging operations also, making
the woods so boggy It has been almost Impossible for teams to work and
sktdders have worked under tremendous difficulties. At the plant of the
Harrell-Votaw Lumber Company it was necessary to shut down the logging
end of the business for a few days and the same conditions haveSprevalled
at other logging camps. However, the mills at Orange are well supplied
