He believes the body had been hidden there

A dozen theories are possible, but the de-
tectives do not think there was foul play
done. There were no marks on the body, that
could be found, that would indicate that the
dead man had met tragic death. The de-
tectives and Coroner Dennis searched the
neighborhood for evidence. questioned the
people living near by and looked over the
straw for evidence but nothing developed
which would show who the man was or by
what means he met his death.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. S-That plans
for the Incorporation for a gigantic Or
ganizatiOn of manufacturers Of white
pine lumber have been in prog
ress is fully admitted by Iun-
her dealers in this city, but
whether it will ever materialize ia
yet matter of conjecture 1t is stated
by some Of the larger dealers that the
scheme is only the idea of some of the
smaller manufacturers and will not
be realized.
If the plan as given out by its pro-
motors is ever realized, it will result in
making Minneapolis the center of the
greatest combination Of lumber COM
pani5S in the country, or, for that mat
ter, in the world. Briefly stated, it is
as follows:
It is proposed TO unite leading manu-
facturers Of white pine lumber into one
Incorporation, the combination to take
effect Jan. l. The effect of this COM
bipatiOn is far reaching, and, while it
might and probably would not cause
the price Of lumber to go up appre-
ciably, it would save the manufacturers
immense expenses to which they are
now sEf a cted.
The - IN brief is simply this: The
entire white pine district has already
been Divided up into what are called
selling districts. An entire floor of the
lumber exchange, Minneapolis, is to be
fitted Up for general headquarters, and
all the work will be directed from thesa
Offices. There will be a main office in
each selling district, from which the
sales in that particular district will be
handled. The different lumber COM
panies are to take stock in the Dropos-
ed corporation, and the only interest
they will have in the sale of lumber is
furnishing the stock that the central
organization may require
