NORWAY King" IN
CREDITORS HANDS
w. H. Gilbert, Wisconsin Lum.
herman, Is Embarrassed
Only Temporarily.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26. = The lumber
business of Willis III. Gilbert, the Nor
way king" of Ashland, Wis, was
placed in the hands of three trustees
at meeting of Mr.. Gilbert'S creditors
held here. 1t is said that while Mr.
Gilbert is temporarily unable to meet
his obligations, his assets are far in ex-
cess of his liabilities. The placing of
his business in the hands of trustees
is defined merely as an extension of
credit, and assurance is given that Mr..
Gilbert Will soon be again upon a sound
financial footing.
Lumbermen state that Mr.. Gilbert
sold his lumber to the Grays, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, who f1Oated a large amount
of paper. The Cleveland firm became
embarrassed financially and three
weeks ago a meeting was held for the
purpose of adjusting their difficulties.
The fact that Mr.. Gilbert recently in
vested heavily in standing timber is
believed to have made it impossible for
him to meet any sudden demands.
Among those who attended the con-
ference in Chicago were A. L. Ordean,
president of the First National Bank of
Duluth, Mimi; John J. Rupp, w. c.
Mcclure and John F. Boynton, Sagi-
nav, Mich, and c. F. Latimer, cashier
of the Northern National Bank Of Ash
land, Wis. Several men from other
cities were also present. Messrs. Or
dean, Rupp and Latimer were the trus-
tees appointed to conduct Mr.. Gilbert's
business in the interests of the credi-
tors. Mr.. Gilbert's assets are estimated
to amount to 100000, and it is said
that his indebtedness approximates
only 100000.
Mr.. Gilbert was long known as q sue
cessful timber land dealer at Saginaw,
Mich. In the '90s he removed to Ash
land and made large profits from deals
in Norway pine. 1t was from his sue
cess in this venture that he gained the
sobriquet of Norway king" He is
what is known among lumbermen as
cargo shipper" his logs being sawed
under contract by other parties. He is
said to have handled from $4,000, 900 to
75,000,000 feet of lumber annually He
recently completed some successful
deals In lumber on the Pacific coast.

WESTWARD TREND OF THEATRE
CAL STARS.

New Yorks proNineialism, the insu-
lar prejudices of the people of the little
old town, has received some jolts at the
hands of the West of late, and in no
particular have these jolts been so eff
fective as in the theatrical world.
Time was when a play required the
! cachet of Manhattans approval before
1T could be seriously considered. AS
for the possibility of making great
theatrical production, outside of New
York, why, that was out Of the ques-
ton. Of late years change has come
over the spirit of the people. The ap-
prevail of New York weighs but little
with the theater-goer in passing upon
the merits Of an attraction. 1t has
been gradually borne in upon the pa
| tronsAof the theater that New York's
decision is not always in conformity
with that larger view that we are apt
to take of things theatrical. New York
Is hypercritical as to the few and not
stupid as to the many Her dietum has
no weight and the Western manager is
coming to understand that he can af-
ford to make productions at lavish ex-
pense in his own country and without
regard to Gotham.
Last year Chicago turned out "Sulu'
and the Wizard of o." New York
scoffed and prophesied failure for both
productions. But. they succeeded in
the West and went into Broadway. To
the utter amazements of those gentle
men who direct the taste of New
York in matters theatrical, they made
tremendous hits-whieh is much more
than can be said for some of the pro-
auctions that have come into the West
with the stamp ofgEastern approval.
The experience Of the managers who
put on the 'eWizard'' and ASulu" may
have inspired other enterprising and
ambitious managers, and the activity
of the managers is still moving to the
West. as was demonstrated in the
Twin Cities within a few days, when
Messrs. Scott and Ferris produced
= 10 AoASSPJ IAAuS. ( W lOSGlueI III
Minneapolis, the production has been
|.nlade on quite as lavish a scale as
though it had been framed for the de-
lectatien Of a Broadway audience.
There was no stint to the expenditure,
and the costuming and staging Of the
piece is on magnificent scale. The
ready response of the people of these
two towns to the appeal of the man
ayers goes to show that there is plenty
of spirit to support such pretentious
essays.
1t has been demonstrated that it is
quite possible to produce big the
atrieal offering at this distance from
New York, and another spike has been
driven into the coffin of Gotham's pre-
tensions to supremacy in matters the
atrical.

"DIXIE."

1t Is not necessary for one to have
been born south of the Mason and
Dixon line to appreciate the feelings
OF the veterans of the old Confederacy
when one Mr.. Stone, of Kansas city,
proposed the changing of the words Of
Dixie" Perhaps it is to Southern
courtesy that Mr.. Stone owes his es-
cape with no bruises. But if he left
the auditorium of the Missouri univer-
sity in which was held the ex-Confed-
crate reunion an uninjured man, he
left 1t also sadder and a wiser one
''The words Of Dixie are foolish" said
Mr.. Stone, and the veterans willingly
| acknowledge the truth of his remark
The music is glorious and deserves
great words" continued Mr.. Stone. and
to this, also. the veterans, amiably
agreed. But when the man from KAN
sas City proposed that those same
words be discarded and that stronger
| ones take their place. the temper of the
assembly instantly changed.
Where Mr.. Stone made his mistake
was In suggesting the change to that
particular assemblage. Perhaps some
OF the young men Of the new South"
might have received it with liberation.
Perhaps, had it been made to college
students or the members of the fac
ulty, they might have appreciated the

had fought to the stirring air of Dixie"

their ears. And such men cannot be
expected to go over the words of the
famous song critically, with view to
weighing their literary fitness, for, fool
ish or not foolish. the lines are written
in their hearts.
indeed. so long as veteran of the
Southern Confederacy lives the words
of Dixie" will represent something
,
besides a mere silly Jingle. AS he
softly huns them he thinks not of their
frivolous import but of half forgotten
| camp fires, of some lonely bivouac or
of the comrades who were left on battle
fields. For the words do not spell what
| they really mean to the soldier. In
deed, they are merely signs that the

|. 1t were better for Mr.. Stone and
other purists to tackle the new songs
and leave the old alone. Few of the
latter, so far as the words are con-
eerned. represent masterpieces. Indeed.
If their value lay in their words alone
| many Of them would be forgotten long
ago. But association has twined them
tight around the heart and whether a
prinla donna or a hand organ. yoiees
them, the response to their appeal Is

Florida Central and Peninsula
Integral Part of the
System.

New York, July 21.-President Williams,
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, ar
nounced today that the consolidation Of
the Florida Central and Peninsular Rail
road system, embracing SOC miles of road
in Georgia and Florida, lying south OF
Savannah, with the Seaboard Air Line
Railway. has become effective. Hereto
fore the Florida system has been controll-
ed by the Seaboard through stock owner
ship and operated separately. As result
of the consolidation the Florida lines be-
come an integral part of the seaboard.
The outstanding 4 per cent first mortgage
bonds of the Seaboard will become a di-
rect lien upon the additional mileage.
The Seaboard has purchased virtually
all the outstanding minority stock of the
Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, and ar
rangements~ have been made for its lmne-
date merger, thus rounding out the con
soldation of the entire system, embracing
at present about 2,611 miles.
The Atlanta and Birmingham division
of the Seaboard is approaching completion.
