An Attempt to Combine Coal, Lumber
and Other Dealers.

The Indiana Investment and Adjustment
Company is negotiating a combination of
coal. lumber and building material dealers.
and it is expected the combination will be
formed by the first of next week. All of
the prominent coal and building material
dealers will be included in the combination
and such lumber dealers as handle coal and
building material. In fact. every dealer in
brick, lime, cement, iron, plaster, etc, will
be invited to join the combination. 1t is
claimed that part of the dealers have al
ready sgnified their willingness to enter
such a combination. and the success of the
undertaking is assured.
One of the officers of the investment COM
pany stated last evening that the pur-
pose of the combination is to place the coal
and building material business on a sound
basis and to maintain uniform prices. He
said the consumer and dealer would both
be benefited under the arrangement pro-
posed. Many bad conditions that have ex-
listed in both lines of business would be
corrected. Robert c. Finch is general man.
ager of the Investment Company, which
includes as its officers Addison II. Nor
dyke. August NJ. Kuhn. Charles E. Nor
dyke, George c. Pratt and John l.. Moore.

While the Big Four lines are showing
some decrease in earnings, as compared
with last year, the present month they
have kept up a pace of $4,000 day. A
few years ago President Ingalls, was very
boastful when the lines earned $4,000 a
day, and that they are as large as they
now with little grain moving is
much of a surprise. The earnings for the
second week of May were $685. 457.11, a de-
crease of $5,541, as compared with the cor
responding week of 1901. For the two weeks
the earnings were $654. 006.S4, a decrease
of $23 1892
The Peoria & Eastern earned in the
second week of May S45,051.17. a decrease
of $5.025.66. The earnings of the two weeks
were SS9 201.33, a decrease this year of
S1O.952. q.

Arbor Day.

Spring.time, the lovliest season Of
the year is at hand! u.-a
I'm that soft season when descending
showers
Call forth the green's, and wake the
rising flowers; ~
When opening buds salute the
welcome day, .r1.
And earth relenting feels the genial
ray"

custom of our country, I, Charles N.
Herried, governor Of the state of South
Dakota, do hereby designate Friday,
April 25. 1902, as Arbor Day, and earn
estly urge the observance thereof
throughout the state. Let this day be
observed by planting trees and shrubs,
in the promotion of timber culture and
forestry. and the adornment of public
and private grounds. I further earn
estly recommend that in every school
within the state Arbor Day be celebrat-
ed with appropriate exercises-sougs,
recitations, addresses and some tree
planting. Officials in charge of state
institutions are especially requested to
observe the day in manner that will
inculcate into the minds of the people
the necessity of timber culture and the
importance of forestry.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the great

affixed
