A Big Lumber Deal.

W. H. Endner, vice president ol
the Montezuma Lumber company
returned "Wednesday from Denver
happy over the outcome Of a big
lumber deal by which his firm Sc
cures timber on $500 acres of school
land in southwestern Colorado. The
price paid was $50 $50 in cash but
the timber is worth it, being the
best and most accessible tract of
yellow pine in the state Other
companies also secured timber, the
total amount sold being l., $50 acres
for S79,S5O
OF the moneys received, $64,775
will 60 to the school income fund to
be distributed among the various
school districts of the state The
State Agricultural College viii get
S15.O75.
The purchasers will be given sew
en- years in which to remove the
timber After this is done the board
believes the land will be in great
demand for grazing purposes. 1t is
plentifully watered and is in one Of
the best grazing sections in the
state. The altitude is less than Z.
500 feet, and the protection of this
timber could not, the board thinks,
have in any manner preserved the
snowfall for irrigation purposes.
For many years this land has been
considered Of comparatively little
value. Previous land boards have
appraised it at 10000. For the
sale lust concluded minimum APP
praisement was fixed al $4,000,
and the competitive bidding at the
sale caused it to reach the high fig
ure secured. The state has realized
from this one sale of timber more
money than has been received here
tofore bv all the timber sales ever
held by the state.
The Montezuma Lumber company
now owns or controls timber on l3,.
900 acres in this vicinity and Mr.
Endner states it is enough to last
his business lifetime.

DULUTH AS A LUMBER MARKET
Shipments Are Fair and Prospects
| Are Better.

DULUTH, MINN.-Cloquet manu-
facturers have shipped this way. so
far this season, from 15,000,0o0 to
18,000,000 feet. This is a trif1e under
the shipments a year ago, and little
less than they have been expecting.
Duluth lum mbermen who have been
in the east lately inspecting markets
write home that trade is good and
that stocks are growing small and
quite broken into, but it is believed
they are all playing for lower prices.
These lumbermen claim to recognize
in the actions that have been taken
during the summer an agreement
among eastern dealers to wait for
lower prices.
