She Is Strictly Secluded.


Osborne is a secluded. comfortable. ram
bling place. from which the public is
barred. The queen never did like to be
stared at, but she comes to London occa-
sIonally for that purpose because she con-
slders II her duty. She IS often seen al
Windsor, and Balmoral, too, but when
she gets to Osborne she breathes a sigh of
relief. Even the townsfolk around the
palace refrain from assembling along the
route when she takes her daily drive. and
the tourist could get through the eye of
needle easier than he could get past the
Osborne gatekeepcrs.
He wouldn't find much to see, anyway.

= foreseen should prevent.
When her aged majesty goes to
Osborne she probably feels much as Presi-
dent Mckinley does when he goes to his
home in Canton. for the palace on the Isle
of Wight is her own personal property,
and doubtless would be the place she
would go to live If England were to con-
clude suddenly that It could worry along
without a royal family and were to cut on
her majesty's million-dollars-a-year sal
airy.
Parts of the present palace were stand
ing when the queen and prince consort
bought the property from private fam
lily. The place at once became the par
ticular hobby Of the prince consort, who
personally supervised the enlargement of
the buildings and the Improvement of the
grounds. He bought more land, until tho
estate now covers 10000 acres, and when
ever he could run away from the cares OF
the position which he himself described as
that OF permanent private secretary to
the queen" he used to putter about at
Osborne. where he spent his happiest

A. r. Workman, general immigration

of the farmers Mr.. Workman left yes

Among the number of lumbermen is A.
II. Moon, of Rhineiander. Wis. friend
of J. r. Day. Of the Day Lumber Com
pany. at Big Lake.
There are six Wisconsin lumhermen
in our party" he said at the Diller last
night. 'all OF whom are looking for tim
Der sites in Washington on which to en-
gage in the lumber business. The time Is
not far distant when lumbermen of our
state will have 20 drift westward. We are
now engaged in logging our timber lands
for the third time. Sixteen years ago
millmen went through our woods and
cut timber that two logs would run 10
thousand feet of lumber. Eight years
ago they again went over the ground
and took all that they thought was good.
Now we are taking everything in sight
that Will make lumber. even TO logs that
have been on the ground for ten years
Some OF these are rotten. but we can get
some single bolts out of them.
We still have some standing timber in
Wisconsin, but 1t has passed into specu-
lative hands. and Is being held beyond
reach. The invasion of large speculative
lumber syndicates into Washington and
the passing of great areas into their
hands viii eventually work a hardship
on the lumber trade here. The mills OF
Washington are remote from the Eastern
market. freight rates are so high as TO
be prohfbitive and therefore stumpage
must be reasonable to offer an induce
ment TO Eastern miIimen. With these
large tracts being taken practically out
OF the market 1t will have a tendency to
increase stimpage prices.
Personally I am looking for a new
home In Washington timber. II I can
secure site l will erect n mill OF about
10000 feet per day capacity, and settle

me he had Travelled through all the

could find nothing, and in his opinion
Washington offered the best field We
had thought of looking over the Coiville
timber lands but since my arrival learn
that they are remote from Transportation
and such being the case they will be hard
