Almost every one who broIls steak in
a gas oven has experienced no small
amount Of trouble in keeping the broier
spotless and shiny. An easy way out
of this is to place the steak on the

underneath dr.. place cold water In It

drops into the water and is purified
and may then be SKINNED or and used
BY this method the pan IS never al

NEGLECT OLD FLOWERS
FOR FORCED BLOSSOMS
AND DAINTY SHRUBBERY

We have grown so accustomed now
adays TO the use Of plants Of all kinds
in our houses and upon our tables
that the old-fashioned flowers are al
most neglected, and il is rare indeed
to find a house where flowers, except
on state occasions, are found in great
profusion. This. Of course, only ap-
plies to the modern city house or apart
ment. whose owners do not possess a
country place. with the accompanying
greenhouse. or a conservatory from
which the daily basket Of fresh flowers
can be picked.
Palms. rubber plants, and the ever
hardy Boston fern, which are all very
well in their way. and certainly lend
a touch of charm to the modern room,
are substitutes for the more delicate
and perishable varieties OF flowers and
blossoms. Ceremonial rooms with their
exquisite but scentless blossoms, Of
American Beauty roses and the gor-
geous chrysanthsmums OF the fall and

TO PRESERVE TIMBER SUPPLY
and MAINTAIN LIVING PRICES
Many Prominent Lumbermen Inter
ested in the Movement and the
Federal Government and Forestry
Service Will Cooperate.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 4.-The Globe
Democrat gives the following details
of the proposed lumber merger:
Lunlbef companies representing IN
their holdings about 100000 acres or
practically all OF the yellow pine tim
Der of the South, probably within six
weeks, will take definite steps to form
a holding cooperation, or merger, not
only to conserve the timber supply,
but also to maintain equitable prices
on yellow pine products, according
to men who have attended a confer
ence in ST. Louis during the last two
days.
That the companies may not run
counter to the antitrust laws, the gov
eminent has been advised and the
details of the proposed corporation
and its scope and general purposes
fully outlined. A committee was ap-
pointed at yesterdays meeting to
work out plans for the deal, and to
report to the lumbermen at meet
ing to be called in month or six
weeks in st. Louis.
The organization will be modelled
after the United States Steel Corpo
ration, and capitalized at about $4,000
GD0, 900 or more. On account OF IT,;
heavy corporate fees and other re
strictions in Missouri, the concern
will be incorporated probably in Del
aware or New Jersey.

Objects OF the Merger.
The purposes of the proposed mer
ger are two-fold-the consertatiol OF
the timber supply by applying the
government forest service methods,
and the maintenance of prices, vi ich
will allow the timbermen a fair profit.
The need for trade combination of
this kind, lumberman said yester-
day, has been felt for several months.
since the heavy break occurred in
prices of yellow pine lumber and pro-
ducts December 1, 1907. Prices which
had been on profitabl basis. he said,

Tut the fact Of the matter is that the
contracts and orders were drawn in
practically the same words and terms
as the contract for building both the
Forrest County court house and the
court house and Jail of Perry County.
As the exact yerbiage was used in all
these contracts and the money was
secured without question, it is diff.
cult to understand what legal tech.
nicality has been discovered at this
late date
As the bonds are supposed to draw
interest from February it is barely
possible that this enters into failure
OF the Chicago brokers to come
across" but since they have failed
to- comply with their part of the con-
trast, as agreed upon, 1t is barely
possible that the board will decide
that patience has ceased to be a
virtue, and that the $500 check shall
be forfeited.
The matter is difficult one to de-
eide, but the board will undertake
the matter tomorrow.

JAIL MONEY HAS NOT BEEN
RECEIVED; PROSPECTS slim

The matter of letting the contract
for the building of. the new county
Jail has hung fire; not through any
fault of the board, but by reason Of
the fact that the necessary where
with did not come to hand.
1t was stated in the Daily News
Sunday morning that the money had
not been received, but that Presl-
dent Pace still hoped that a repre-
sentative Of John Nuveen & Co, of
Chicago, would be in the city yester.
day with the bonds for signature, and
with the cash, or its equivalent 70
turn over to the board.
But this did not happen.
On the contrary, the Chicago firm
wrote that bonds issued on similar
terms and orders, in Northwestern
county Of the state had been declared
illegal in county court and were now
pending before the supreme court
The firm stated that it believed that
they would finally win out on this
case, but their attorney had advised
them to make no more loans until
tins matter was decided.
To show. however. that the firm
thought that change in the terms of
the contract would fix the matter al.
right they suggested the form OF
advertisement for selling the bonds
at the June term of court, and stated
that with this done they would be

nay for the bonds at once.

no one can imagine. They do not

YELLOW PINE INTERESTS To
FORM GIGANTIC CORPORATION

during the previous eleven months,
dropped 80 per cent, causing the re-
tail lumberman to lose all their prof
its of the year. Low prices beget
wastefulness, he said, and timber
which would be utilized when prices
which would be utilized when good
prices prevail, is thrown away when
the marketa drop, because it costs as
much to manufacture inferior lum-
Der as first class, and there is no de-
mand for the inferior.
These arguments were put up to
high government officials and the
chief of the forest service, Clifford
Pinchot. who detailed an assistant,
N. T. Cox, to lay before the lumber
men in their meeting in st. Louis
the methods employed by the govern
ment in--the conservation of its tim.
Der and the prevention of disastrous
fires in its reserves, 165, 900, 900 acres.
Lumbermen argue that if the Unit.
ed States Steel Corporation could
maintain a level price on steel pro-
ducts during such period of depres.
sion as has prevailed In the last sew
eral months that a holding concern
would work equally well in lumber
products.
Would curtaiI Output.
Tn new arrangement when put into
effect-and lumbermen say 1t will be
means a heavy curtailment in the
output of yellow pine products. This
will do much to maintain favorable
prices and to save the timber supply,
it is argued. The restrictions and
conditions imposed by the forest SER
vice in the cutting of timber in the
national reserves will apply. A sys-
tenn of patrol will prevent forest fires,
which annually destroy millions of
feet of timber on the ground, which
could be utilized, and kills the young
er and less hardy underground, which

in a quarter of a century, lumbermen
say.
If methods which obtain in the cut
ting of timber at present were kept
up, it is estimated that before twenty
five years elapse practically all the
timber not owned by the government
would be gone.
The lumber companies which will
go into the proposed merger are the
