CALL, FROM REPUBLICANS.

Elsewhere in the EAGLE this morning
will he found call from prominent Re-
nublicans for meeting to be held in
Garfield opera house on Monday even
ing for the purpose, as stated IN the call,
of forming a Republican resubmission
club.
To the people of Wichita it is unneces-
sarv to say who these men are OF to de-
clare them to be Republicans. They
are the men who have largely built our
colleges and schools, our churches ana
Y.M. C. A. building and contributed
their hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the upbuilding of this city, and It's many
great enterprises. But few OF these ever
touch liquor and they are men who be-
lieye in the enforcement of the prohlbl-
ton law and of all other laws. They are
the judges of.:our courts, the members OF
our churches, our lawyers, our doctors,
our bankers, manufacturers and
leading business men. They were
not solicited to sign the paper, but
the call was simply handed to some,
while the great majority hunted 1t up
and signed it of their own volition.
Many leading Democrats and other
solid citizens not in accord with the te-
nets of the Republican party were re-
fused permission to sign, and hundreds
of other Republicans would have signed
had thew been afforded an opportunity.
None but pronounced Republicans OF
standing and whose records are consist
ent as such are asked to take part in the
meeting. 1t is further desired by the
forInulators of the call, who are only
business men, that politicians and office
holders will permit, and the request
seems proper, the club to be organized
and differed by business men such as
will have no desire beyond that OF at
tanning the end sought and the conserva-
ton of the Republican party.

The Silent Land! What underlined desire

FlickeIing afar in weird, uncanny flight
The Silent Land, which poets love to
name
Mysterious region, where the presen

Doth yield itself to superSensual change.
The Silent Land, where dread as olden
fates,
Vague, sombre shadows guard the en-

And where glide through the vapor sud

AS 'twere, a spectral days -sunsetting
beams.
The Silent Land, wherein the wan sun
Spreads as a red moon ray DER plains of

Upon which birch trees lean across the

Where wolves are wont to race in famish-

That its deep quiet gives the heart trill,
As when night fowl sail by on noiseless
wing,
A trill such as no sound hath power to

The Silent Land, which stretches on and
on,
Dim outlined as the mist-vailed hills of
dawn;
Vistas where human vision feebly grOpes
Midst the long cypress boughs that gloom
the slopes.

Chilling the whte-lippcd wanderers who

YELLOW PINE.
Advance In Price Of 81 per Thousand
Decided Upon.

AT a meeting OF the Southern
Yellow Pine Lumber Association,
held at Birmingham, the other day,
the dealers agreed to advance the
price 81. The following is from the
Age- Hcralds report of the meet
ing
Reports from the various mills
within The territory covered by the
association were very satisfactory.
1t was shown hat all Of them were
running on full time and were
crowded with orders. In fact, The
demand is greater than ever before
and cover an area extending all over
the Union. The condition OF the bus
mess was m0st gratifying and the
outlook all that could be wished.
The business was rapidly increa-
sing and the amount of capital IN
vested now was greater than ever
before.
After some discussion, it was
agreed that as the mills in the ter
tory were of the Mississippi river
had recently advanced prices 81
per 1000 feet, This association do the
same. No formal resolution 10 this
effect was passed, but all of the
gentlemen present agreed 10 stand
by the increase, and to gel the CO.
operation of those not represented.
at is fact" said one of the gem
tlemen last night, '1hat although
the price of lumber in the territory
OF the association has been ex-
tremely low, at sacrifice prices you
might we'll say, still our condition
is not nearly so bad as that of the
mills in the territory west of the
Mississippi river, which is strong
competitor OF ours in many of the
leading markets of The country.
The low price has done one thing
from which Southern yellow pine
lumber mills will reap large and
material benefits. 1t has advertised
the pine and sold it in all the mar
kets of The country, and brought
trade to this section that never
came in the past. The advertise
ment given us and our mills by the
cut-thrOat or strangulatiOn prices
which have prevailed for sometime
has been of incalculable pecunidry
benefit to the Southern trade, and
now that the markets open to us
and orders are pouring in, we have
decided 10 advance the price.
There is at present a great scarcity
of dry lumber in all markets, and
we will experience no difficulty in
getting the price fixed in our scale,
and then the mills in the South
will make money and not have at
the end of the year a long line Of
old stumps as the only reminder
that they have been iii the busi-
ness.
"Ours is the first step taken in
movement for a general advance
prices in yellow pine lumber all
over the South. Our competitors
west OF the Mississippi some four or
five weeks ago put up the prlce
from 81 to 81. so per 1000 feet, and
if our business is in better cOndi-
ton than theirs and they could af-
ford 10 make the advance, certainly
we can profit by 1T too.
The outlook for the lumber bust
ness in the South was never better.
Foreign capital is coming this way
and new mills are sprlnging up all
over the land. Onr markets have
been enlarged and our territory
widened. Yellow pine is found
here in practically inexhausiible
quantity and it is bound in The ma
lure OF things 10 be The lumber of
America"
