ADOPT PATCHING SYSTEM.
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Take
important Action.

Seattle, Nov. 28.-The executive
com mittee of the Pacific Coast Lum-
Der Manufacturer Association, at a
meeting held in this city, adopted the
matching system in genreal use by the
Southern Pine Association. This is
one of the most important moves that
the association has made in many
months, and will, it is believed, result
in increasing the rail business to tho
Missouri valley and Eastern points.
The new matching system will ap
ply to all general finish and interior
lumber, such as flooring ceiling, etc,
and while not covering the cedar prod
ucts, drop siding or partition stock, in.
cludes all other lines.
The matching system is one that in
sures uniformity in size in the prod
uction of staple lumber products. A
dealer can purchase from different
mills at different times and be assured
that his latest stock will fit in with
any surplus remaining oser from for.
mer orders.
The annual meeting Of the associa.
ton will be held at Tacoma Decem-
Der 10.

GERMANY APPROVES.
Cordial Note Accepting Ro0seveit's
Peace Congress idea.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Secretary
Hay has received from the German
government a cordial note accepting
in principle President Roosevelt's sug-
gestion for another peace conference at
The + ague.
As the presidents suggestion made
no reference to the time for the Sec
ond meeting at The Hague the German
government does not commit itself on
this point and awaits the pleasure of
the other powers.
1t is probable that the replies from
all the powers will be received in a
short time. Enough have already
come to assure Secretary Hay of the
hearty reception which the president
invitation received generally. When
all the acceptances are received it will
then be determined what steps shall be
taken toward fixing date for the
court to meet.
