Where there has been active opera
lions in the north the past winter, the
logging business has been large. The
heavy SHOWS made the work of the
lumberjacks easy and it is probable
that these craft will have busy sea-
son, but this branch of river traffic
is in the final stages of its decadence.
1t was but few years ago when
spectator on the bluffs about Keo-
kuk could at any time of the day
count not less than three steamboats,
during the season. The rafters, the
packets and ferries made the stream
place of unending activity. The raft
boat is now curiosity.

during the season of 1910 Year after
year the number of rafters has de-
creased. River roads with their quick
er transportation Of lumber have had
something to do with the suitation, but
over and above all else the lack of
lumber is responsible for the decimat-
ed array of river craft. The northern
supply of timber is steadily playing
out and while there are a number OF
mills in the Mississippi valley that
still have holdings of timber land at
the headwaters of the big stream and
in Wisconsin the supply is steadily on
the wane and the greater portion OF
the supply now comes by rail from
the Pacific coast.

Commissioners Debate for
Hours, But Complete No
Report.

An extended conference was held
yesterday afternoon OF the commits
lstoners appointed by the Hastings
Court to assess the value OF sMayo's
Bridge and the right ofsway the city
seeks to secure for a new bridge over
James River. The commissioners are
now much in the position OF jury
which has been unable to agree. All
the evidence has been heard, and all
the argument has, been concluded. sEd
the matter Is with the commission. a s
soon as a figure is agreed upon as a
basis Of a report, 1t will be filed Fitn
the Hastings Court. For two hours
the matter behind closed doors. and the
only announcement at the conclusion
was that no agreement had been
reached, and that further session
would be held early next week.
Under the instructions OF the court
the commissioners are limited to the
present value OF the bridge, and evil
dence therefore tendingtto show that
in the past 1t has been offered for va
rIous sums to the predecessors OF the
Virginia Railway and Power Company
and TO the city has benin large meas

franchise OF the present bridge, the
city seeks to secure a right OF way

Jewel Box Not in Trunk
Brought Here From Boyce
by Wedding Guest.
POLICE CAN FIND NO CLUES
kilograms Sent Home Indicate
That Box Wasn't Left
There BY Mistake.

T.
Miss Dorothy Gilpin, OF Boyce, who
came here to attend wedding and Is
guest at 4o4 West Franklin Street,
has lost diamonds and other jewelry
valued in the aggregate at more than
$500. which is one OF the biggest dia-
1nond robberies lately reported in po-
lice annals. But whether Miss Gilpin
was robbed at home, in transit, or in
the city. is question. and the burden
of most of the evidence which can be
gathered. makes 1t appear that she
was robbed before arriving in Rich
mond.
According to her statements to the
police, Miss Gilpin packed her trunk
at home Tuesday, and left 1t unlocked
in her hallway that night. On We'd
nesday, just before her departure, she
locked the trunk, and then proceeded
on her way to Richmond, arriving here
yesterday morning.
In her home several colored servants
are EMPLOYED but as they have been
with the family ten or twelve years
no suspicion yet attaches to them. The
trunk arrived here safely, and the loss
was not learned Of until 1t was opened.
Most OF the jewelry consists OF pres
ents from members OF Miss Gilpin.s

graphed to her mother to find out
whether she had left her jewelry box

at the wedding to-day. s.s
Detective Sergeant Kellam received
a report of the theft, or loss, yester-
day afternoon, and looked into the case
with the utmost care. He is inclined
to the opinion that the robbery, If
therei was robbery, occurred before
the trunk got to hlchmond. It may
be, however that the jewelry was not
placed in the trunk, or that it was mis-
placed at home. But the case will be
worked on here by the detective de-
partment until all doubt is settled and
suspicion, If there is cause for sus-
!picion. is definitely placed.
