terrific crash and roar, as it tore

The first house struck was on the
George Duke farm, one mile west OF

From there until it struck the Farria

distance of perhaps two miles, it IL

After several weeks Of daily confer
ences, the lumber men interested in the
domestic trade have arrived at the con-
clusion that their various interests can
be best subserved by remaining in the
pool which they have maintained dur
ing the past year under the name of the
Central Lumber Company, of Cali
fornia. 1t required an enormous
amount of comforting to settle the null

has at length been accomplished and
nearly all of the mills on the books last
year have renewed their pledge to stand
