CALL ON PRESIDENT.
Wholesale Lumber Dealers and Their
Wives Very Cordially Greeted.

Washington, March S-The delegates to
the convention of the National Whole
sale Lumber Dealers Association, in ses-
sion here, called today at the White
House and were received Ivy the Presi-
dent in the East roonl4i Many of the del
egates We're accompanied, by their wives.
After delivering to each of the visitors Il
personal greeting, the President made 4
brief address rs follows:
Il wish to state what a very real pleas
ure it is to have the chance of greeting
this body here on this occasion. / hope
! need not say the very deep interest |
take in not only your business itself but
in the way in which you are carrying it
on. l want to congratulate you with all
my heart, and l congratulate the coun-
try upon the way in which the exception
ally intelligent and energetic men who
have been engaged in lumb! ring have met
and are meeting the changed conditions
of their business; the way in which they
are now seeking to put it upon Il footing,
not Of exploiting Il given area of forest
and leaving nothing behind, but of 50
handling the forest that in using it it il;
yet left as an asset for their children and
chldren's children.
The great desire have in connection
with the government forest service is
that YOU lumbermen should make the
fullest use of that service; and I think
l need not say that it is absolutely at
your disposition, and that the more you
use it the more you work in conjunction
with those engaged in managing il, the
better it will be for the service, and. 7
think. for you. I am pleased to learn that
YOU are to help in establishing Il chair Oh
numbering ut Yale.
'Thcre is no business in the United
States which there is greater need Of hav-
ing carried on with a consideration of
scientific understanding and practical
horse sense. And. after all. that is the
way in which every successful business.
including the business of governing, has
got to be carried on"
Considerable attention was given during
today's session of the lumber dealers to
the controversy between the association
and the railroads growing out of the
latterS requirement that shippers furnish
stakes for flat cars when loaded to hold
the lumber in place. and also that freight
must be paid on these stakes.
Arrangements have been made for Il
conference here tomorrow between the
shippers and the railroad representatives
with 4 view to reaching an adjustment of
their differences. 1t is stated that the
National Lumber Manuractur5 rs Associa-
ton and the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers Association are united in the
movement to raise Il $4,000 endowment
fund for Il chair of forestry at Yale Uni
vcrsity. The manufacturers have raised
$4,000 and the dealers today announced
contributions amounting to about $1,000.
All the present officers were reelected.

THE OIL MAGNATES

the nature of their call. They arrived
in WASHINGTON early in the evening and
expect to leave here tomorrow
1t was Impossible to learn anything re
garding the conference which the Stand
ard Oil officials had with the President
Very few knew of their visit and the fact
of their engagement to call on the Presi-
dent was not known. While it is pos
sible that the call had some connection
with the subject of the message which
President Roosevelt sent to Congress yes
terday calling attention to the fact that
without an extra appropriation and the
power to compel the attendance Of wit
nesses, the Tillman- Gillespie resolution
which he signed. TO investigate alleged
railroad monopOlics of coal and oil will
amount to very little and might achieve
nothing, there was nothing which any
definite statement of the purpose of the
conference could be based. Boil, officials
repaired to their hotel after leaving the

ESTIMATES TOO HIGH,
Prof. Burr Says Canal Will Cost Less
Than Engineers Fiqures,

Washington. March S-The cxaminatio,
OF Prof. William If. Burr of New York.
formerly member Of the isthmian canal
commission, and a member of the board
of consulting engineers appointed bv
President Roosevelt to report lIpon tha
most feasible type for a canal across tbr
1sthmuS of Panama, occupied all of TODAY
before tho Senate committee and will be
resumed tomorrow. The examina ton for
the day closed with testimony favorin-
the contract plan for constructing the WA
terway.
1t was suggested by Senator Morgan n
that Congress doubtless would have to
pass upon the question Of having tho
canal built by contractors and he asked
tho witness to give his views on that
subject
81 think it will be best for the govern
ment as q whole if contractors do tho
work" said Prof. Burr. lie added that
he would be of this opinion whether tho
waterway were constructed on the go,
level or with locks.
He expressed the opinion, however that
the government should proceed with tho
work far enough to determine fairly what
the work.
eff you should lot the contract on tho
basis of the unit fixed by the consult,n;
board for either type Of canal" said Prof.
Burr you would get many bidders. In
fact, think 1 should like to get q niece
of it myself" He took the levy that the
unit fixed by the consulting bc,rd was ton
high and the canal would not cost as
much as estimated for either type.
The greater part of the day was spent
by the witness in ascribing his reasons
for supporting the sea level plan in pref
erence to the lock type. The testimony
was very technical and devoted largely
to criticisms of the minority report. II
said that the Gatun dam provided for in
that report could be built, hut its perma-
nency would be no more than a conjec-

propostion of the University of Maine
time during the spring term was dis
cussed. President Holmes of the Colby
Debating Society presided and stated
carefully that the University Of Maine

Gus letter to the effect that as debatn"
had been recently started at Colby and
as there is 4 we'll developed interest in
debating at Maine. the two colleges
through their representatives might ar
range for an interscholastic debate.
The proposition was looked upon with
favor by Colby and 4 unanimous vote
was passed to continue The regulations.
Prof. ]. William Black WAS called upon
and told the students present that IN in

of hard work. and that it should not be
undertaken unless Il sufficient number of

and prepare themselves thoroughly fer

probably 10000 men in Kansas, and they
probably have on IN average two coats
apiece. That makes 1,2O0,nOO coats and

buttons cost about 20 cents a dozen, and
