Mahogany Hunters.

Mahogany trees do not grow IN
clusters, but are scattered through
out the forest and hidden In dense
growth of underbrush. vines and
creepers and require skillful and
experienced woodsman to find them.
He seeks the highest ground In \
forest, climbs to the top Of the tall
est tree and surveys the surrounding
country. The mahogany has Pc
cuiiar foliage and his practised eye
soon detects the trees within sight.
The axmen follow the hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany taking two men a
full day to fell 1t, The tree has
large spurs, which project from the
trunk al its base. and scaffolds must
be erected SO that the tree can be
cut off above the spurs, which Is
sheer waste. rs The stump really CON
tairs the best lumber.
The hunter has nothing to do with
the work Of cutting Oh removing the
groei his duty being simply to locate
it. II ne Is clever and energetic his
remuneration may amount to $500
or $1,000 d month. but he may travel
weeks at time without detecting
tree. and as he is generally paid by
results his earnings are rather pre-
carons.

15m25c lower than the high time of
last week The better grades of strong
weight feeders show but little change.
A good kind going at $4.50@4.75, and
a few fancy lots quotable up TO So. 1t
takes better cattle to bring the prices
this week. Offerings of this class of
cattle are expected to increase here and
at the out side markets from now on.
Corn will doubtless sell high another
year. but the killers don't care if cat
tie are fed soc corn or no corn at all
if they are fat and have good killing
quality as was the case last year with
the Wyoming steers that sold at $3.50
and 1913 that had never tasted corn.
The cattle feeders who are buying
heavy feeding cattle and returning
them to market after short, mex
pensive feed are taking good profits.
Owners of good grass are making good
use of it by buying this week 700 to 750-
pound stockers here at $350@3.S5. OF
course lighter and poorer cattle are
selling around $2.5O@3.25. and each
man must figure out for himself which
is the cheaper.

Observation-Disclosures Fear Effects Of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of se Ordered for
the Quarter.
the Quarter

New York. Aug 23-H. H. Rogers
and William Rockefeller are reported
to have had a serious disagreement
about the policy to be adopted by the
Standard Oil Company in defending it
self against the attacks of the govern
ment
1t was learned today that good deal
of dissension developed at the meeting
of the directors last week when the
usual dividend of Sc ware 70" the
period was declared. The attituGH OF
the administration toward corporations
was discussed, aand particularly the
fine Of S29,240,OOO levied against the
Standard Oil Company for rebatlng by
Judge Lands. 1t is understood that the
lines were drawn sharply at the meet
ing and some of the directors strohgiy
urged that in view of this heavy tine
the quarterly DIVIDEND should De
passed. These took the position that
the company for various reasons ought
not to 60 on paying dividends WINE
it was under such heavy fire from poln
national and state governments.
1t is said that the arguments pre-
scented were of somewhat heated ma
ture. and the discussion took a decid-
eddy acrimonious turn The exact
Iline-up of the directors on the dlVl-
dend question could not be learned, put
it is understood that a certain portlon
of them conducted vigorous tight
against the declaration. Other mem
bers of the board. however, commended
that notwithstanding the penalty Levied
against the Indiana subsidiary com
pany no change in the dividend policy
of the Standard Oil Company OF Ne"
Jersey should be made.
These argued that to pass the dlv1-
dend might be construed as a confess
i sion of guilt on the part of the Indl-
ana concern. They expressed coiih-
dence that the decision of the higher
court on the appeal from Judge Lam
dis fine would be more favorable to
the company. The passage of the div
idend as protest against the Judg-
ment, it was contended, might defeat
one of the objects in view. 1t was be-
lieved that such action would very
likely only tend to increase the pes
simism prevailing and the unsettle-
lnent of the financial world
After an extended discussion of both
sides of the question the directors OPP
posing the dividend declaration relent-
ed, and it was finally decided to pay
Sc for the quarter, the same amount
as paid In the corresponding quarters
of tho two preViOlS wears.
