THE RECEIVERS

Argument before William G. Ma
haffy, special master in the Diamond
State Steel Company case, was con-
cluded at noon today. The argument
began on Thursday, and was on the
report Of the receivers accounts and
the amount of compensation to be al
lowed them.
Anthony Higgins and W. A. Mason
representing the company bOndhold-
ers and creditors, claimed that the
receivers were extravagant in hand
ling the affairs Of the defunct COM

ed was entirely too high.

yesterday afternoon, and H. n. ward

the attack upon the receivers was un-
warranted, and that they had been
faithful TO their trust.

The trade movement is disappoint-
ingly slow notwithstanding the funda-

Of the year for increased activity has
not been confirmed and reports from
the largest trades are OF recession

are the daily needs Of this immense
nation that the volume OF transac-
uons is larger than the tone of the
market reports would indicate. Out
side OF New York this volume of trade
as measured by bank clearings is only
l.5 per cent less than last year, while
It is Sc per cent. larger than in 1903.
But in spite Of the immediate slow

economic conditions are steadily i'm
proving. Best of all is the excellent

CLEAR CLEARING iIl LOGGED OFF LANDS
Char Pit Method Recommended Highly
by Washington Professor.

p( Wat0lUHtoV FFoftanoFs
That logged of lands can be cleared
of stumps. removing roots to a depth
below the reach OF plow. and at a
cost Of less than 90 cents stump
has been demonstrated by the expert
ments OF Professor II. w. Sparks Of
the state college at Pullman. Wash.
Professor Sparks successful expert
ments have been with the char pit
method. Once understood this method
Is the most simple and inexpensive
that can be imagined. A little fire, a
little elayey earth and a little watch
fulness are the essentials In the proc
ess by the combination OF which the
most hopeless looking stumpy acreage
can be prepared for the plow in the
course OF two weeks
The char pit method is simply an
adaptation of the old and well known
method OF making charcoal by burn
ing I'm closed pits. 1t depends for It's
efficiency on concentration OF heat. A
ring of loose wood. bark. etc, is first
laid all the way round the stump and
as close TO Il as possible. and this is
then covered TO a depth Of about six
inches with earth. leaving a small
opening in the direction from which
the wind is blowing The wood is
then lighted at this point and left for
about half an hour. until the hre Is
well started. when this hole is then
covered up like the rest. AS the fire
burns back into the stump the blanket
OF earth must be kept right up to the
stump so that the fire never has an
opportunity 20 break out. The top OF
the stump doesn't burn. but Is simply
cut on cleanly at a point about level
with the top OF the earthen blanket.
When the top has been cut on by the
fre and rolls on the whole crown Of
the stump should be covered with
earth and can then be left without
much further attention until the roots
have been burned out. This is some.
times done TO a depth Of fifteen feet OF
more.
The length Of time required to de-
stroy the stump depends on what kind
Of wood II is and whether green, dry
or rotten. The most stubborn stumps
will disappear in two weeks at the
most. while many are done away with
in three or four days. The record OF
Professor Sparks experiment shows
an average cost Of between 40 and 5C
cents n stump. In some OF these he
has used fuel oil and coal tar
The experiments which have 40 far
been successful have been with clay
soil This. baked and hardened by th,
FIRE, conserves the highest "a rec OF
heat. Sandy or stony soil Sits In and
puts out the FIRE or permits Il "a
presd. Professor Sparks Is now work
ing out certain theories by which hl
expects 10 perfect a similar method
adapted 70 other soils than clay.
