LINES OUT OF JOINT.
Gross Errors in Survey of College Hill
Discovered.

followed strictly to the inch they

This rather startling statement was
made today by Deputy County Sur
veyor Branner, who has, in company
with the county surveyor, been run
ming some property lines this week in
that addition. He declared that in lay
ing out the grounds of Washburn col
lege an awful mess was made of lines
and streets in that vicinity. Mr.. Bran
ner was forced to set new lines re-
ducing the width of College avenue
and Mulvane streets from IS to 60
feet from Huntoon to Thirteenth
streets in order to give the property
owners on these streets the full quota
of land that their deeds called for
Fortunately there is no paving or side
walks along these streets, so the
change can be readily made. The
change in property and street lines was
necessary in order to keep from max
ing worse and more radical changes
In laying out the college grounds en-
croachments were made into Fifteenth
street The lines in the entire addi-
ton are awry, but this change made
yesterday will relieve the worst of the
trouble in that part of the addition
lying between Thirteenth and Huntoon
streets and along College avenue and
MulVane street.

OUTLOOK IS POOR.
Little Chance of Action on the Pulp
and Paper Matter.

Washington, May 21.-The investi-
cation of the wood pulp and print
paper industry is not yet concluded by
the special house committee which has
inquired into this matter and the
chances for a report being made to
congress in time for action at this ses-
sion are not so bright as they were a
few days ago. A number of paper
manufacturers were examined and the
committee was informed that several
others are due from the west.
The testimony embraced both the
increase of the cost of the material
that goes into the paper and increase
in the prices of wages. Argument
against the removal of the tariff on
wood pulp and paper also were made.
William B. Littleton of the Antietam
Paper company, Hagerstown, Md,
1obbers of news print paper, denied
that his firm was the SELLING aoent or
the Interna tional Paper company as
had been charged. He said his COM
pany was not the selling agent of any
manufa ctuTer. The lowest price he
ever bought paper for was $3.50 de-
1ivered in Hagerstown. This was some
time in the nineties.
The witness said that in September,
1907, he had been informed by the
International Paper company that
when its contracts with jobbers ex-
PRED the company was going to
eliminate the jobbers and sell its prod
uct direct to newspapers. MIR. Little
ton told of one instance where he had
been selling paper to a publisher at
$1.60 per hundred. When his contra ct
expired he quoted a price slightly in
excess of this amount, but the manu-
facturer company made a quotation
at $1.57 and secured the contract.
$50 you are finding it difficult to
maintain that advance in price?" in
terposed Chairman Mann.
Mr.. Littleton said that since this
action of the International Paper COM
pany he had been buying paper of
jobbers and also from mills. He read
a number of quotations that had been
furnished him for the purpose of sup
plying orders, these quotations coming
from mills and jobbers and showing a
variation in prices.
you can not see any collision there
can you?" the witness was asked
ooh, / don't know" responded
Chairman Mann; that does not
