CHEAPER LUMBER.
Welcome News From a Big Canadian
Combine.
lIaeoReoaAIEO 1901

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Edward Hines,
newly elected president of the Vir-
GINA & Rainy Lake Lumber company,
the largest combine.1of it's kind in the
world, predicts cheaper lumber and a
new era in its production as a result of
the new organization g.
1T is our intention to cheaper the
cost of manufacturing and, of course,
to cheaper the cost to consumers pro-
portionateiy,'' says Mr.. Hines. 1--WE
will nos do this. however at the ex-
pense of the country by reckless or
wasteful numbering methods.
we wilFfwork In harmony with the
forestry departments of the United
States and Canada, and we hope to
make money out of the things that
they will ask us to do. For instance,
we will utilize all the timber on the
ground we cut over. We win not sim
ply pick out the choice trees, leaving
dead wood and brush to feed forest
fires: We will clear land so that in
stead of being a worthless wilderness
after 1t is cut over it will be valuable
for farming purposes.
I'VE are also hoping that a further
reduction may be made in the cost of
lumber to American consumers by the
taking off of the tariff. The greater
part of our land is in Canada and this
would enable us to bring the Canadian
lumber into the United States a thing
that the tariff practically prohibits

Surprise weddings have been so much
the feature of the season in Topeka
that about the only way a girl of mar
riagable age can attract attention lis
to stay single. Beginning with the mar
riage of Miss Helen Otis and Mr.. Eraser
Cole in October there have been no end
of marriages and gagements in the
same set and none were much more
than suspected six months ago. But
with all this marrying and giving in
marriage there have been no large
fashionable weddings and Will be none
and the order of the day seems to be
a perfectly imprOmptu ceremony with
out pOmp or circumstance. The mar
riage of Miss Mabel Glass and Mr. Ben
G. Johnson which took place Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of
the brides parents, Judge and Mrs. w.
s. Glass. 312 Thirteenth street, west,
was a complete surprise to most of
their friends and was so far unpre-
meditated, at this time, although the
enga cement had been formally an
nounced. that none of their friends
knew of it beforehand and only mem
bers of their immediate families were
present. The-Rev. DIR. S. S. Estey per-
formed the ceremony and Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson left last night for Marshall
county where Mr.. Johnson, who is a
state bank examiner, has business.
They will be at home in Topeka.

student at the University Of Kansas,
where she met Mr.. Zimmerman who
was graduated two years ago and is
