Two-Cent Lumber Rate Ca,e.


 The friends of L. A. Shaver will read with pleasure the following item from The Lumber Trade Journal, published in New Orleans: The Journal has hoped in this issue to be able to- report the conclusion of the celebrated lumber rate case, in the Supreme Court of the United States. It was fully argued and submitted, along with the Georgia case, before the Su- preme Court, on April 22 and 23; but. as the record and briefs are exceed ingly voluminous, 1t is feared the opin- ion of the court may not be rendered before rhe summer vacation. General Miller has shown The Journal a copy of the brief filed by Mir. Shaver, so- iicitor of the Interstate Commerce Com. mission, in reply to one filed by Judge Baxter for the railroads, after the case had been submitted and he thinks 1t would be impossible to imagine a finer argument, from the point of view of the shippers of lumber"
