LANSING, Mich. June 3.-An i'm

commission was announced by Chair
man E. H. Doyle yesterday.
II Is held that bonds OF electric rail-

light or power companies must provide
for the payment and retirement OF at
least 20 per cent of the total bond is

period specified for the payment and
retirement OF all bonds, and an equal
percentage OF the balance OF such
bonds must be retired each year OF
such period thereafter. Also that such
companies must furnish certified
copies of their franchises and all pro-
ceedings I'm connection Herewith. The
ruling also says:
"In view OF the present depression
and the changes that have taken place
In the last three years in the bulk

and In the increase of vessel tonnage
and the improved facilities for loading
and unloading, resulting In greatly In

presumption Is that the motorist VIII

drivers. who have stretched their
Imagination TO knock" the ordinance,
seem 70 think.
Some OF the arguments used by the
motorists against the ordinance are
absolutely silly and puerile, IL they
have been correctly quoted In the
newspapers that are trying their best
TO discreJit the new law and doing
everything In their power TO encour'
age disobedience on the part OF the
motor interests.
The fact that Commissioner Croul,
privately, is opposed to the ordinance,
seems to have had its effect on some
OF the members OF the force, who are
going about the task OF enforcing the
ordinance In the spirit that II Is soma

are openly knocking" the measure.

actually cross each other. No more
complaints, based on an erroneous IN
depreciation OF this clause, will be
received, and no action will be taken
on those already made.
AS was expected, one OF the first
results OF the ordinance has been to
drive the motorists OF Jefferson and
Woodward-aves., to the side streets.
In consequence, there is much less
congestion during the rush hours
than formerly and the streets are cor
respondingly safer for pedestrians
and those who ride in street cars,
This detection of the traffic Is most
marked out woedward-ave., the auto
lists taking to Cass-aye. and John H.
St, both OF which are paved with as
phalt and are free from street car
tracks. In this way the motorists
avoid the inconvenience OF stopping
for street cars and the alternative Is
quite acceptable TO reasonable motor
lists. However, the motor car driver
who sees At to remain on Woodward
or Jefferson can do 80 without ex'
periencing any great hardship, as ex'
perience has shown that 1t Is rot
necessary 70 stop nearly as often as
the alarmists had supposed 1t would
be.
In other words, the hardships pic
tured by the motor car men before
the ordinance was adopted, with the
possible exception of the clause re-
curing them to stop at intersectius
car lines, were all In their eye.
Aid. David Rosenthal, OF the Firth
ward, is the first to come forward
with an amendment to the ordinance.
He would compel the Detroit United
Railway to install on the rear OF all
its cars a lighting device which would
show. by intermittent flashes, when
car Is about to stop, thus warning
approaching autoists. The alderman
will Introduce this amendment In the
council next Tuesday night. Com

Michigan Presbyterian Comments on
Topics Of Detroit Ministers.

The following paragraph appears In
the current weekly issue OF the Mich
igan Presbyterian, in the editorial
columns:
I'VE are none OF us willing to admit
that there is any actual degeneration
in the average American pulpit. But
Il must be confessed that a study OF
the topics advertised in the daily
papers for consideration by Detroit
ministers does give some grounds for
using such a strong term as degen-
eracy. Some OF the topics are not
only sensational. they are positive
ly inane. Sensationalism has its good
side. There Is a healthy sensational
ism that keeps us from going to sleep.
But some OF the topics advertised
only keep one awake by inducing such
a sense Of disgust that sleep becomes
an impossibility. II would be too
personal a matter to name some OF
these topics: besides men who use
such bait to draw silly people would
be only too grateful for the advertise
ment."

This relates TO price secured by pro
ducers at their mills. For example. The
United states forest service reports the
average price Of No. Q yellow pine flooring
In Texas at S9lS a thousand feet. In Ar
kansas. sac; In Louisiana, $50; In Mis-
sissippi. SSO. in Alabama $50. These
prices we're for July. August and Septem-
Der. 1910 which months the last report
covers. The average price at southern
mills for No. s common boards Is today
about sos, as shown by reports to the
yellow Pine association. No. hemlock
dimension is selling at the Wisconsin mills
at about $40 a thousand feet and No. 1 at
various prices from $40 to Sl6.
The Pacific coast is selling ordinary
building lumber very low, owing to its
distance from the markets. Low grade
boards. scantling. etc have sold within
the last few weeks as low as $3.50 a thou
sand feet, which is far below the cost of
production. The Forest Service reported
the mill price Of common dimension in
Washington during last summer as low
as S9.s7, and prices are now lower than
then.
so in every variety Of woods the ordl-
nary qualities and kinds which enter into
building to the greatest extent. are sold
at such low prices. at the mills that the
producer can not get back cost of manu-
facture and the value OF their standing

Some kinds OF good lumber are high In

white pine lumber cannot be secured in
sufficient quantities to supply the demand.
and so II a buyer requests clear, wide,

be considered fancy prices for Il; but fin
jshing lumber I'm western white pine Is
selling at a moderate price. while common
boards are quoted by the Forest Service
at 1854
ITO these prices secured by the manu-
fscturers at the mills must be added the
cost OF transportation, which may range
according to distance, anywhere from S25C
to SIS a thousand feet also the cost OF
handling the lumber at destination out OF
cars and into lumber piles, delivery to
buyers and profit to the dealer. These
facts are seldom taken into account by the
ordinary lumber consumer, who does not
realize that where the lumber used thirty
five or forty years ago was probably trans
ported an average OF 300 miles, now it must
be transported an average Of not less than
COO miles.

LUMBERMEN HERE IN FORCE
Six Hundred Are Already on Hand for
the Convention.
HALL IS THE NEW SECRETARY
Morning r. Taken Up with ReEistrR-
tiOn OF visitors and the Annual
Address Of william Krot-
ter. President.

SIX hundred members Of the Lumber
mems association we're in the city repre-
sentinR every part Of the central west
region at the opening Of the convention at
the Hotel Rome Thursday morning.
The first business Of the morning was
an address by William Krotter. the presi-
dent. and the announcement OF Bird Critch-
fields resignation as secretary. Mr. Critch-
field announced that various business al
fairs made necessary his withdrawal from
the official work Of the association. He
is to be succeeded by Elmer e. Hall Of
Syracuse. Neb., for at least the remaining
part Of the present term.
Most OF the activity Of the convention
Thursday morning was the assembling of
visitors from out Of town, and the regis
tration. Many exhibits have been estab-
lished in the Hotel Rome lobby. and SOU
venirs of every description are being dis
tributed among the members and guests
The lumbermen made a pilgrimage to all
the banks Of the city shortly after noon,
arriving on the return to the Hotel Rome
just barely in time to open the afternoon
session according TO schedule. President
Krotter opened the session and made an
address covering the outline of work for
the coming year and the business OF the
meeting in Omaha.
1t was explained that Secretary e. E.
Hall, just appointed to succeed Bird Critch-
field. who Is reslgning, was virtually
elected permanent chairman, as the board
Of directors had sanctioned the appoint
ment
Mr.. Critchfield explained that his resig-
nation was due not only to business affairs
which required the greater part of his
time. but to an ailment which the physl-
clans have told him was serious IL he sub
jected himself to overwork.
