GIGANTIC TREE STUMPs.

The fine frs Of the Pacific northwest

To make a stump house the material
from the interior Is removed, leaving
only enough to form walls of suitable
thickness. A roof of boards or shin
giles Is put over the top of the stump.
holes are cut for windows and doors,
and family of-fve can ard often

Another custom is to turn the big

CRITICISES HITCHCOCK,
Representative Sims Discusses Rural
Free Delivery Deficit.

Postmaster General Hitchcock was Sc
verely criticised yesterday by Representa-
tive Sims of Tennessee in a speech in the
House, because of Mr.. Hitchcock's state
ment that the net loss on rural free de-
livery for the last fiscal year was $oS,-
100000.
MFR. Sims charged that the Postmaster
General had been unfair in making this
statement because of his failure to state
material facts. He charged that Mr.
Hitchcock failed to credit the rural serv-
ice with saving to the government of
about $4OO0.0O0 annually by discon-
tinuance of star mail routes displaced by
rural routes, also with a saving of ST.
100000 by discontinuance of post offices
on these star routes.
Mr. Sims also said Mr.. Hitchcock crea-
tied the rural service only with the col
lection of mail made on the routes, and
failed to credit it with any part OF the
mail delivered on the routes.

PENNsY OWNS N. & w.
Absolute Control Acquired-No An
nouncement Made.

PHILADELPHIA, February 26.-It was
reported in financial circles today that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
acquired sufficient of the stocks of the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company
to give 1t absolute control of the road
The Pennsylvania has made no official
announcement to that effect.
The report, it is said, is not a sur
prise.
1t was thought whep the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company took over the hold
ings of the Norfolk and Western stock
which had been held by Kuhn, Loeb G.
Co. Of New York that some such plan
was contemplated.
The Pennsylvania bought into the Nor
folk and Western originally in 1900 and
1901. In September, 1906, about half OF
the $33. $4,000 of the $S0.OOO,OO0 common
stock of the Norfolk and Western which
the Pennsylvania held was sold. This is
the stock which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. held.
In securing the Norfolk and Western
Boston will be the only seaport in the
east not tapped by the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
