LUMBERMEN JOURNEY HOME
Nebrasl<ans Return from Inspection of
yellow Pine ReGiOns OF
the south.


KANSAS CITY. Feb. 21.--(special Tele-
gram )--Neariy 200 retail lumber dealers Of
Nebraska have been in town today and
have been entertained by the Wholesale
lumbermen Of Kansas City. There was a
dinner at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon after
a ride about the city and the day ended
with a theater party at the Grand this
afternoon to see The Telephone Girl"
The guests Of Kansas City lumbermen are
the delegates Of the state meeting at LIN
coin February ~, who went on a pleasure
trip to Galveston and through the southern
lumber regions and are now on their way
home. They have a special train Of seven
cars on the Missouri Pacific under the di-
rection OF T. F. Godfrey OF Omaha. The
committee Of the association in charge of
the excursion is composed Of H. H. Judd OF
Rising City, Frank Colpetzer OF Omaha and
J. @. Cleland of Fremont. the last OF whom
is secretary OF the state association.
The party left Lincoln on February 1S
and visited many lumber camps IN Arkan-
sas and Texas, where the yellow pine.
which is now most extensively used In the
west, comes from.
You see," said william Krotter, who
operates a chain OF yards in Nebraska and
who is one OF the party, I'VE can't get
white pine any more. because the northern
output has been SO curtailed and the demand
for lumber in the west has grown so in the
last three or four years. The white pine
forests can no longer supply the demand
at any price, so we have, to take the south S
yellow pine and we have been looking over
the new source of supply"
The lumbermen left on their own train
late tonight for Omaha.

former wife in Hayes Center, Neb, sew
ersl years ago, and produced the document
in court a few days later.
Mrs. Evans testified that she had never
been served with a notice Of the suit and
that II her husband had a divorce he se-
cured II by fraudulent means. The case
was continued until today.

Hayes Center, December 1, 1900. He mar
ried Naomi Evans in 1866.

duced the naval estimate for 1923 In the
House Of Commons today. The estimates
show a total of R31, ,255, ,OOO as compared
with e30, 900 last year. In the course Of
an accompanying statement, Mr.. Arnold
Forster remarked that no thinking man
could have anticipated any reduction from
the estimates of last year, in view OF the
fact that the army was engaged in a dim
cult conflict 1000 miles away.
In regard to the naval reserve, the sec
retRry of the admiralty said the govern
ment had discovered that there we're legal
objections to the engagement OF men in
Newfoundland The movement would there
fore be temporarily arrested, but legislation
would be enacted legalizing the engagement
Of men In every part Of the empire. The
secretary further announced that promotion
in the engineering department would be
accelerated by the creation Of ten new
posts.
He also said that the progress of naval
construction during the last year had been
unparalleled. The present estimates, said
the secretary, gave the government e15,-

would De under construction sixty ship, in
addition to twenty seven others that would
be laid down. Besides this, large program
OF reconstruction would be undertaken, ad-
ding greatly to the fighting power Of the
fleet Guns OF more formidable callber
would be mounted on many vessels, and
six-inch rifles Of the latest and most i'm
proved type would replace the Al guns
Referring to the smaller craft, he said
that unexpected rapidity had been exhib-
tied in adding to this feet and more would
be added.
After giving further details of the ad-
mlralty's program, the secretary concluded
by saying that what the admiralty was de-
termined on was to prepare the feet for
incorporation for that day of trial
which 1t was hoped would never come, but
against which the admiralty was in duty
bound to provide.
