LUMBER PRICES HoIsTED.
Dealers Decide to Advance the Tariff
or Some Grades.

OF Some Grades.
At the rooms Of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermens association yesterday after
noon a secret meeting of whtS esale lum-
bermen was held. Secretary Rhodes of
the association, had the following to say
of the meeting:
THE meeting was not strictly what
might be called a meeting of the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermens association it
being composed of representatives of con-
Germs of both the Mississippi end the
Wisconsin valleys. About 125 delegates
were present. Several lengthy papers
with bearing upon the present condition
IN trade were read, and during the great
er portion of the session aageneral discus
sion was INDUCED in blythe lumbermen
present.
The discussion developed that the out
look for The future was bright and no
one anticipates a drop in the present
Prices of lumber. There was some dis
cuss1on as to whether or not the whole
sale dealers would themselves stand the
advance OF 1 per cent per hundred in
freight rates recently made by the rail-
roads. 1t was decided that they would
not advance the general price of lum-
Der at this time to meet the increase in
the transportation rates, although adj
vances upon some grades Of lumber, lath
and shingles, were made
The logging situation for the present
season was talked over at length, the
general discussion developing the fact
that the larger operators in the woods
so far this season had been doing We'll
enough, but that the smaller loggers who
had not been able to construct and keep
in repair ice roads were in bad way.
Ii was figured that up to date the sea-
sons cut had been curtailed about 10 per
cent owing to the lateness of the season.
If the weather holds as it is at the pres
cnt time, and has been all the past fall.
there will be a great shortage in this sea-
sons cut"

stamps.
Until the first of this year the law has
required only that the stamps be can
celed by the initials of the persons filing
the deed These initials were either
stamped on the revenue stamp or whittier
in ink, and in either case were easily re-
moved by the application of a wet cloth
or by chemical processes. In Eastern
cities persons have been making regu-
lar practice of getting hold of Cancelled
stamps and removing the marks of cam
collation. regumming the stamps and sell
ing them for new. There is no reason to
think that the Western crooks have not
been up to the same game, and the loss
of the documents from the registers

no way to prevent them from doing so.
Mr.. Metcalf said that he did not believe
there had been very many papers lost,
and that if there had been deeds lost
they were lest after they had lett his Of

people are always coming into the Of

never received their deeds, after they
have been recorded, and we find, upon
investigation, that they have been deliy-
cred either to the person making the
complaint or to some one connected with
and representing them
Mr. Metcalf said that he had never sus.
pected any Of the employees of his Office
of stealing any of the deeds and did not
know of a single paper having been
stolen from his office. with the exception
of the record of the Zeglin deed, which

Eight divorces were granted yesterday,
seven by Judge Brooks and one by Judge

which she had some prints made. The

she had dreamed, for the print showed
her husband, Fred c. Baker, and a

females. Mrs. Barker was scandalized.
The picture is 'fashlight'' and Mr..
