for the government, and Jehn G. Milburn,

well u. Evarts of the railroads, and
members of the Hartman syndicate.
The testimony Of Mr.. Hartman began
with the issuance of one hundred million
of convertible bonds by the Union Pa
cific for the purpose primarily Of pay
ing for the Southern Pacific in 1901 and
then led through the purchase in con-
nection with the Oregon Short Line Of
the Northern Pacific stock.

the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line

that this was possibly true, and when
further questioned asked permission to
explain.
In the first place" said Mr. Hartman,
'wc had as the result of the Northern
Pacific purchase ss2O00,o0O of Northern

us, forced upon us-it had a market value

went up, but at that value the returns
from the Northern Pacific and Great

WAR is over.
Levi Pond and Lumber
Companies Make Up.
Differences Are Settled and
Hosllliies Are Stopped.
Disputes Of Long Standing Are
al Last Settled.

st. John. y. B., Feb 25.-The lumber
war Oh the upper st. John river, at
the International boundary line, is at
an end, according TO Levi w. Pond, the
log driving contractor, who in June,
1909, attracted wide attention to Van
Buren,, Me, and vicinity, by dynamit-
ing hoOmS owned by the Van Buren,
Lumber 90. and bringing on a situa-
ton which resulted in a display Of shot
guns.
Pond states that he and the Van
Duren Lumber Go. have settled their
differences and that by way OF observ-
ing the CESSATION OF hostilties he and
Manager Hammond of the corporation
raised the Stars and Stripes over the
mills. Pond spent 10 days in the Van
Buren, district adjusting the long
standing difficulties which have existed
between him and the Van Buren Co.,
and the St. John Lumber Co, the lat
ter also an American corporation doing
business at Van Buren,.
Pond states that several matters are
still pending but he anticipates no
trouble in adjusting them. AS a result
of tho better feeling between the rival
interests it is said that the mill owners
will do all they can to keep the river
free of Instructions.
During the dispute q bill was intro
duced in the Maine Legislature to re-
peal the charter OF the log driving
company under the name of which
Pond carries on his log driving bus
mess. Pond will go to Augusta in Il
day or two and asi, the lawmakers not
to repeal the charter in view of the
peaceful developments.
The log driving company has one
suit pending at Van Buren,. The suit
is for $1,000 damages and was
brought against Joseph r. Long, who
constructed bridge from Claire on the
New Brunswick side 10 Van Buren,. 1t
is claimed that this bridge interferes
with lumber operations. "A settlement
is expected within a short time.

OIL KINGS WILL
Iohn D. Rockefeller Said to Be
Arranging 10 Dispose OF His
Swollen" Fortune.
WILL AsroNlsH THE WORLD

Donations Of No Less Than $25o,ooo,-
600 to Be Applied to the Public
Good Are Said to Be Contemplated
In This instrument.
New York, March 1S.-According to
4 member of John d. Rockefeller jr.'s
Bible class, and who is also a personal
friend of John d. Rockefeller and in
a position to know of his affairs, the
latter proposes soon to make prince
ly gift to New York city. II will
amount to at least 10000, 900. 1t will
be partly charitable and partly edu-
cational.
This man is reported to have said
that when Mr.. Rockefeller was con-
ferring with his son at Lakewood, N.
j., a fortnight ago, the meeting was
not for the purpose of discussing any
immediate gift, but was on the subject
OF Mr.. Rockefeller's will, which doou-
ment the OIL king was then completing
with the aid of his son and his law
yers. II was said that thie document
will astonish the world when It IL
made public. IL will, II is declared,
donate no less than $3.50, 900 900 for
charitable apd educational purposes,
and Il will be so bestowed that the
benefit therefrom will almost be per-
petual. The manner in which these
requests will be bestowed is said to
be mainly educational and charitable.
While there are contributions for re-
ligious purposes. it is stated that Mr..
Rockefeller does not think it neces-
sary to extend any great financial aid
to churches. To his manner Of think
ing the churches are growing stronger
and stronger and there is no danger
that they will ever need any great
financial assistance from one man.
Mr.. Rockefeller, however, is said to
be much in favor of the growth OF
education. and to the furtherance of
this end he has done much in his will.
He believes that education will make
this country the greatest in the world,
and that every cent contributed
toward that object will help to make
better citizens and better Christians.
As to the charitable requests. 1t was
said some time ago that Mr.. Rockefel-
! Ter had in mind building model tene-
ments for the poor, such as have been
erected in some European cities.
In his Will, this informant states
Mr.. Rockefeller has provided these
three things: Requests for religious
purposes, though not Of large sums;
liberal requests for education; and
what are described as princely be-
quests for charitable purposes. 1t is
said that there is scarcely a man,
woman or child that will not benefit
in some way by these prospective do
nations.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
IN STORE FOR YOUR SON
tBy Adele Ritchey Mikesell.) J

(By Adele Ritchey Mikesell.)
How shocking to see so many small
boys smoking cigarettes
Smoking and putting away with
no thought other than how to get
another smoke when the one in their
mouth is gone.
There seems to be no limit to their
age. The minute they don their
little trousers they begin to smoke.
I've seen children that were all the
way from six to ten, putting away like
their little lives depended on it.
Look around and you will see
them, too. You can tell boy who
smokes cigarettes the minute you see
him. Sallow complexion. hallowed
eyed, narrow chested, yellow fingered
little things.
Stunted, physically and mentally
before they can add up simple little
column of figures.
Yet, the parents of these very chill
dren will beautifully tell of what they
intend to make of their son when he
is glown up.
The time to cultivate your sons
acquaintance is right now; look
around Aand see what he is doing and
why he is doing 1t.
The fault lies directly with the
parents. You make your son what
he is
1t is the early training of the child
that makes them the noble men and
women. There is ever place for
the healthy boys with plenty of brains
and courteous manners.
