To the Editor Of The Evening Star;
Will you kindly permit me to make a
correction? A statement appeared in your
paper Of today purporting to be a COM
munication from the Medical Society Of the
District to the board Of education In regard
to the medical inspection of schools. From
the statements made and signatures ap-
pended it would seem clear that the COM
munication was from the Washington
Homeopathic Medical Society, and this fact
should be understood, because the Medical
Society Of the District Of Columbia, so
named in the charters Of Incorporation Of
1919 and 1888, did make a communication to
the board Of education relative to this sub
ject, but of a materially different tenor.

been identified with the development
of the mining territory there, being
interested in the Jerry johnson Min

absorbing attraction.

Tenth and Eleventh streets. They
cover frontage of PSI feet, extend
ing 120 feet deep. There is 700 run.
ming feet of sheds, making 22.40O
square feet of shed surface. And II
might be said that these sheds cover
the largest stock of lumber in Colo

certainly carries n stock that would
be a credit to much larger city.
The Offices. too. are as ample and
well arranged as the yards and sheds
Mr.. Campbell believes in having things
just exactly right. The Offices. sheds
and even the fences are painted clear
pure white and shine out in the sun
light more like a handsome residence
than n lumber yard.
The Campbell Lumber Company car

in the building line. including sash,
doors, paints, oils. lime, nails, cement
and about everything else used in n
building.
The head of the Campbell Lumber
