Davis noted that although the
area was not experiencing a timber
shortage, lumber sales are brisk.
As recent as this week Davis
sold a tract of timber to a local
lumber company. The sale marked
the third highest price ever paid
him by a lumber company during
his six years in the industry.
"There is so much construction
in the area, there has got to be
somebody out there buying lum-
ber," Davis theorized.
In spite of L-P*s recently an-
nounced closing, Davis said local
timber sales reflect a favorable
market that could parallel last
year's record harvest.
"Somebody is buying timber,
somebody is buying it from me,"
Davis stated.

"I couldn't have done it without

stated.
With the lop award under his

Locally, Williams bulls draw companies are working hard to fill
" ; orders for milled lumber, not only
in the United States, but in Mexico
as well.
Of L-P"s recent shutdown, Davis
indicated the action just did not add

"There is definitely a market for
lumber in this area. In fact, we just
had a new company move into
Tenaha. They and other lumber
companies in the area are paying a
lot of money for wood right now,

sanctioned racism was still in place
in South Africa.
Those in favor of Prop 9 say that
since apartheid has ended in South
Africa and democratic rule is in
place, there is no need to continue
the sanctions.
Opponents say that the govern-
mental 4foiatiQp in the country is
unstable, and putting Texas Growth

► Proposition 10 would abolish
the state treasurer's office. Holding
true to her campaign promise,
Martha Whitehead has led the fight
to do away with the slate treasurer.
Those fighting for the measure
say it will save the state money by

Those against the measure say
that giving control of state revenues
to the comptroller’s office would
eliminate checks and balances.
► Proposition 11 authorizes
landowners who claim agricultural
exemptions to property taxes to re-
tain the exemption if a wildlife
management operation is begun on
the land.
Those against the proposal say
that it would give unfair lax breaks
and would eliminate land that was
previously serving a productive
purpose.
Proponents say that the amend-
ment will protect landowners'
rights and will help preserve natu-
ral habitats.
► Proposition 12 would autho-
rize the legislature to award ex-
emptions to owners of income-pro-
ducing personal property and min-
eral interests, if the property value
is insufficient to recover the costs
of collecting taxes.
Those in favor of the amend-
ment say it will aid more efficient
tax collections. Those against it say
it will create tax loopholes for a
, chosen few.

Growing litigation, coupled with
sluggish sales, resulted in

for L-P, according to the company’s
most recent quarterly report. Net
income for the company’s second

million as compared to last year’s
$82 million. Year-to-date earnings
through the second quarter are
$80.6 million as compared to $167
million in the same period last year.
The company's economic
downturn associated with litigation
