George f. Stone Talks about Lumber.

George f. Stone, the representative
OF the "Pennsylvania Syndicate" who
looks after their extensive timber hold
ings in Mason County now being log
ged by the Simpson companies, gave
the Ledger the following talk on log
ging topics:
Although there is undoubtedly
more logging being done in this state
than there was a few years ago, the
price OF timber land remains unchang-
ed. People have not begun to realize
that the timber can ever be exhausted.
They push back into the woods after
timber and waste what their compet-
itors in the East would be glad to get.
| When the numbering districts OF the
Northern Central States are exhaust
ed timber will 60 up, but don't look
for much change for few years yet.
The case stands like this The local
market is not large enough to cut
much of figure. We ship a great
deal East, but this has to be done at
an exceedingly low figure in order to
compete with Eastern mills, who do
not bave to pay freight.
"The foreign trade depends more on
its volume than on a high scale of
prices, owing to the power of the recip-
lent to complain of quality when his
consignment reaches him. AS in most
cases full payment is not made until
the shipment arrives at it's destina-
ton, the mill is powerless against a
demand for rebate on account of alleg-
ed imperfection.
"These disadvantages do not pre-
vent Washington mills from doing a
large and profitable business, but they
regulate the price paid for logs. The
mills conduct their business on the
painciple of large sales and small prot
its, therefore they cannot pay fancy
price for logs. This condition makes
large holders of timber lands who have
capital, inclined to hold on few years
but there are others who are willing
to supply the demand. The ruling
prices are from so cents to $3.50 per
thousand, according to distance from
water or railroad.
"There is little encouragement for
the holder of small bodies of timber
because he is absolutely dependent on
the company that logs the land around
him. He must sell TO them or be left
behind.
II spend large portion of my time
in the logging camps and come in
contact with the lumber men. They
are honest, happy, good-natured lot of
men and do not deserve the stigma
usually attached to them. They are
universally patriotic and are as eager
over the war news as any of the curb
stone soldiers who watch the bulletins
in the city windows"
"WHo is the home merchant" "He
is the man who helps pay for the
streets you walk upon, for the schools
where your children, or perhaps you,
were educated; he helps to keep up
the church you worship in. He is the
man who builds a home which en-
hances the value of your property.
Every subscription paper that is pass
| ed has his name on it. He is the man
who cannot afford to swindle you.
Self interest, if nothing else, would
prevent this; he bears his share Of the
good government and stays with you
in sunshine and darkness, in days of
prosperity and adversely. These are
but few of the reasons why our pat
ronage should be given to the home
merchant. ."-EX.

BELT LINE CARS no BE SOLD.
Judge Cox Grants the Receivers
Petition

Judge Cox yesterday granted the petit
ton of Receiver w. Kelsey Schoepf. OF
the Belt Line Railroad Company, through
his attorney, John Ridout, for the sale
of certain useless property of the compa-
ny, consisting of about twenty-five box
cars and number of open cars and other
equipments. Mr. Schoepf states in his
petition that the property is of no value
to the company. but would doubtless sell
for about $780, which could at this time be
used to advantage in paying the operating
expenses of the road. The order signed
by Judge Cox stipulates that the sale
may be either public or private, with con-
sent of counsel for all parties interested
in the road, and made to the best possible
advantage. Report of sale is ordered to
be made to the court.

REJECT THE PROPOSITION.
Cotton Weavers Decline n Compro-
mise Grading system.

New Bedford, Mass. March 10.-The
cotton weavers today completely upset
the plans of the State Board of Arbltra-
ton for a settlement of the strike and
by a vote of S44 to 81 rejected the prop
osition of its president for compromise
grading system and insisted upon a total
abolition of filming in the mills. The mill
managers had already agreed TO accept
President Cunnane'S suggestion with
notifications and had prepared a pro-
posal to be submitted TO the weaverS.
Several of the manufacturers have
manifested a willingness TO grant trial
of the abolition of fines. but the majority
insist that some such system must be in
force. If the weavers' organization sees
fit to retraet and indorse the proposition
of its president it is apparent that there
can be a speedy settlement of this phase
of the trouble.

Would Benefit the Property.
Baltimore, March 10-Chairman Alex
ander Shaw of the Baltimore reorganiza-
ton committee of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, announced today that
his committee as a body would not OPP
pose the bill that has been introduced in
the Maryland Legislature providing for a
new charter for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
Major Shaw said he saw nothing in the
bill Objectionable and that if the object
is what is claimed, he believed that the
passage of the bill would be good thing
for the property. 1t is possible however,
that opposition may come from an unex-
pected source, though there is no rea-
son to believe that the stock and bond
holders of the company will oppose 1t.
The committee on corporations of the
house will hear arguments tomorrow for
and against the measure and if there is
no objection it will probably be reported
faVorably at once
