After July Inspections of Lumber Will Be
Governed Differently.

Oglesby, A. G.. GUNNER, w. B. Still
we'll and b. F. Camp. They held two
meetings before the association con-
vened, and the result was that the
points of difference between the fac
ton that stood for the adoption of the
rules of 1885, and the advocates OF
the new rules were reconciled. The
rules adopted were apparently salts
factory to all concerned, for there was
not dissenting vote on their adop-
ton.
A committee, consisting of A. G.
GUNNER, F. r. Wymer, M. f.
Armorous, F. w. Garbutt and George
Drew, was appointed to formulate a
price list for the 1904 rules to submit
TO the next meeting of the association,

the rOad-bed will begin in the early spring.
