When lumber cut on Maine timber
land can be shipped by water To l'"S-
ton ana New York at low water rates,
il is all the greater outrage that IN"
interior towns, subject to the heavier
rail rate. must also b" punished for
buying their lumber in Canada.-LcW-
iStOn sun.
The interior towns" in Maine are
wen supplied with sawmills. and most
Of the farms there have excellent wood
lots. These towns are under no ne
Ccssity of bringing in Canadian lumber
from the seaboard. They are amply
able To supply their own needs, and a
large number Of them have lumber tn

be added that even as a revenue

failure. since it forced the Cleveland

standing Treasury notes in order to
meet the current expenses of the gov
eminent, and was responsible for an
increase of s262, 100000 in the bonded

SEARCH BEING MADE FOR
AUTHORS OF THE 'B0GY'
Students Will Meet and Take
Steps to Discover Writers
of the Scurrilous Sheet

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March -
Student sentiment is hot on the trail of
the authors of the 'bogy" which so up
set the equanimity of the campus by
it's mysterious appearance on Tuesday
morning, and a petition was circulated
today praying for a special meeting
of the student body on Friday to take
steps to discover the writer's of the
sheet.
Considerable sentiment has been
worked up over the 'bogy.' and those
who were hit hard have grown wrath
Ter each succeeding day. AS yet no
word has come from the faculty com
mittee as to its intentions, but it is un-
derstood that there are those in the
student body who are willing to go
into their own purses to provide for
hiring detectives or taking any other
summary steps whereby the anonymous
authors may be discovered.
1t has even been rumored that a
wealthy father of one of the girls
whose name was dwelt upon rather
coarsely in the "bogy'' is himself on
the trail of the publishers and that he
will prosecute the guilty persons for
libel If he can discover their identity.
