Ever Formed on the Pa
CifiC Coast.
It Represents Over Twenty
Millions of Dollars.
Membership Includes Every Western
Lumber Mill and Dealer.
More Than $50 Ocean Sailing Vessels
Come Under Its Control.

PoRT TOWNSEND. WASH, Feb. 3-The big
gest trust ever formed on the Pacific Coast,
and representing a capital Of over so. 900, 900,
has been contaminated. and went into effect
last night. 1t Is the Central Lumber Com
pany OF California, and its membership In.
cludes every lumber mill. all ship owners,
wholesale and retail dealers of the Western
coast of the United States and British
Columbia. ALI charters Of vessels and salos
OF lumber must be effected through the Cen
trail Lumber Company. which regulates
freights. and put the buying and selling
prices on all lumber. regulating also tho pro-
duct Of each mill, and the proportionate
amount OF lumber each vessel shall carry dur
ing the year. Not only are tho markets Of
the Pacific Coast controlled, but the lumber
shipments to foreign countries are placed
under the same restrictions. Every mill ON
the coast has its product reduced.
In Puget Sound. the daily output IL !, 400, 900
feet. IN tho same proportion. every other
lumber mill on tho coast 10 regulated. but the
regulations do not apply to shipments by
rail to eastern points. The first order issued
by the company was to advance the price Of
lumber 50 per thousand. Last year the esti.
mated product of the coast was 900, 900. 600 feet,
and this advance will enhance the profits Of
mill owners the coming year over 1000. 900.
Members Of the trust claim thoy have been
manufacturing lumber for several years at no.
tual cost. ahc that the dealers in foreign and
coastwise markets were rvaping all the
profits. Under the new prices. they say. the
employees will be paid better wages. and the
timber men receive better profits for their
logs. Although capitalized at $4,000. no
other corporation On the Pacific Coast controls
such vast interests. More than $50 ocean sail
ing vessels come under their control.

Boston, Feb. 3.-The first letter from
one of the disturbed districts in Turkey,
under n January date, was received here
this morning. 1t was written from
Aintab, Central Turkey, Jan. 2, and says
that although no more mobs are let loose,
a dark fell purpose to- utterly crush and
destroy the people is unmistakably indi-
Gated. Twenty-Five of the principal
Christians nave been called to the govern
ment headquarters, where they were
questioned and are o in prison. What
this means. only those familiar with
Turkish methods can suTmise. The writer
refers to the relief work which has al

ON THE NEXT TIDE.
Hope to Float the Stranded
Steamer St. Paul.
Official Report Of the Happenings Filed
With the Inspector.

LONG BRANCH, n. j., Feb. 3.-Thc
w~recking companies are making a deter
mined effort to float the 1T. Paul today.
The sea Is heavy now aud the surf is
cashing against the bulkheads with cop-
siderable force. The wind which is from
the east Is blowing at the rate OF rs miles
an hour, and the Indications are that 1t
will increase in velocity. The wrecking
companies have all the tugs working on
the 1T. Paul and the Hedge anchors are
being used. The st. Paul Is rocking and
moving and Captain Merritt is hopeful Of
pulling her off at high tide.
The officers of the company believe that
a severe storm from the east is due and
the vessel, il she Is not pulled of at
high tide today, will probably have 10
remain on the sane bar for some time to
come.
Notwithstanding the fact that the wind
was blowing sharply, there was a big
crowd OF spectators on shore watching
the wreckers attempting TO pull the st.
Paul into deep water.
Captain Mulligan Of the Monmouth
Beach life saving station reports that
the efforts to float the st. Paul this morn
ing resulted in moving her % feet.
The tide having one down, the tugs
have stopped working. Ca plain Mulligan
says that in his opinion the prospects are
good for better results OF the next nigh
tide.

soundings were taken frequently, and II
fathoms of water reported four and half
miles east of the beach. The last cast
was taken only 10 minutes before we came

MILK LICENSE.
Different Set of Questions
Will Be Asked.
Inspector Will Know Where
Milk Comes From.
The Name CT the Wagon Driver
Must Be Given.

An applicant for a license to sell milk
has a different set Of questions to answer
this year than heretofore, 1t icing the
inspectors plan to know where the milk
comes from and how it is handled, II pos
sible. Saturday was the day for registering
and on that day num Der Of dealers regis
tered. Among the additional information
required Ia the name of the driver OF q
milk wagon, as well as the owner.
Whether milk is drummed Cor mixed) or
not is another thing asked The i'm
p%ortance Of this is apparent when it is
remembered that typhoid fever germs
may travel from n mans farm in the
milk, which may be mixed with the prod
net OF three or four other dairymen.
Following are the questions necessary
to be answered:
Name, place of business, residence,
license number of carriage, names OF
drivers, or other persons employed in
carrying or selling mix, quantity per
day, quantity produced, quantity bought,
names of dairymen, retail price, whole
sale price, whether cream Is sold, whether
skim milk Is sold, whether milk is drum
med.
Some queer answers are recorded and
frequently dealers report that they know
nothing about the dairymen. Some of
them buy ''picked up'' milk, elso, end
know nothing of it. One man says he
receives 100 quarts per cay end pays 40
cents per can for IL. Part of IL he sells
at as cents per can and part of 1t for
more, but figured as generously as pos
sible he only takes in $3.50 a day end
keeps two horses and two families on IL.
Such men, the inspector thinks, might
safely be watched. A collector has been
asked to help watch such and q part iai
hearing been held at the State House; Ii
has been continued till next Tuesday. The
inspector hopes, In the interest of the
public, TO get that collector.

Dead WOman'S Husband JanitOr of

EosToS, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Ida Quinlan. against
whom the police claim to have much damag-
ing evidence, was arraigned in the Charles.
town district court today, charged with the
murder OF her sister, Sophia S. Grant. whose
body was found In her home. Saturday night.
Mrs. Quinlan pleaded not guilty, and a hear.
ing was appointed for February II.
Developments in the case since yesterday
have practically exploded the theory that the
murder was the result Of an attempt at
burglary. although 10 seems apparent that the
person who killed Mira. Grant must have
entered the house secretly. as the woman was
killed by a powerful blow from behind before
she had a obanco To rise from the chair in
which she was sitting at the time.
There was no one suspected by tho police
until they began TO find cut that Mrs. Quin-
Ian had told several inconsistent stories, chief
Of which was that Sl7 found in her pocket was
given her by her husband The husband,
when examined privately. denied having
given the woman any money. Mrs. Quinlan
is known to have quarreled with her sister
on several occesisBs. and TO have INDUCED in
liquor ON Saturday night. Moreover. the
police found stains on the dress worn by Mrs.
Quinlap ON Saturday night. resembling blood
staius. The dress has been sent to Professor
Wood OF Harvard, for analysis. The woman
has been rsmanded without bail to await the
hearing Tuesday.
