Minneapolis, MINI. - COincident
with the last secret meeting of the
members Of the Minneapolis Retail
Lumber, Dealers association behind
locked doors at the Hotel Radisson
about three weeks ago, three men be-
lieved to represent the commissioner
of corporation. at Washington appear
ed at the hotel.
What these men found out, or what
occurred at the meeting of the lumber
men, who hold meetings in private
about once month, cannot be learned
but the coincidence, with the report
OF the commissioner of corporations
following close after, has given rise to
lively rumors.
Minneapolis retailers deny they are
In any way amenable to prosecution
under the antitrust laws, deny they fix
prices illegally or are pledged to any
pact in restraint of trade.
Minneapolis lumbermen counted the
stumpage of Minnesota and the noses
of timber barons keenly on receipt of
the report Of Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, and it
is the consensus that the following in
terests are referred to In the re-
port where it says that: IN Mime.

airy companies.
Thomas Shevlin and associates.

All the lumbermen placed T. b
Walker at the head of the list of Min
neapolis timber owners, although the
Weyerhauser interests were declared
to be close second The other names
appear in the estimated order of the
extent of their holdings.
One lumberman suggested that if
timber land entries made under the
stone or timber act. a timber baron's
law, were investigated, there would be
some very unpleasant disclosures of
sharp practices. After the passage Of
the law big timber operators are said
to have hired lumberjacks to make a
pretense of entering lands for home
making purposes and living on them
long enough to obtain titles to the tim
Der.
It is declared, however, that most
of the holdings of the six men above
named represent purchases from other
timber men, many of whom, with the
recession of the forests, have entered
other lines Of business. Much timber
land was obtained through the pur-
chase of soldier scrip.

pfcion Of violating the law. They re-
iterated their innocence of any sort

again rendered their assistance to the

OLIVER EXPLAINS
 NEW BANK SYSTEM
Tells How Accounts May Be Opened in Uncle Sam's
 Bank

On account of the very great interest here over the opening of the postal sav- ings system by the United States govern ment, which is to be ready for business October 1, Postmaster George c. Oliver has issued the following statement of facts in connection with the department:
 The postal savings system is establish ed for the purpose of providing facili- ties for depositing savings at interest with the security of the United States government for repayment.
 "No person connected with the postof- flee department is permitted to disclose the name of any depostor or give any information concerning any depositor' s account unless directed to do so by the postmaster general
 Anyone over 10 years of age may open an account, except deposits will not be received from corporations. associations, societies, firms or partnerships. Depos- It's will be received ip even amounts of s1, s. $5, s10, s20, $50, and $100, each, and up to $500 When total deposit of $500 is reached. bonds must be applied for and no deposit will be received until after the money is withdrawn when deposit may begin again.
 Accounts will be opened as follows: A

certificate will be issued for every de-
 posit This certificate is non-transfer- able and non-negotiable, so should it be
 lost the depositor does not lose. Dupli- cate certificate will be issued in case of loss). A ledger envelope is given when the account is opened, so that the deposi- tor may keep informed as to the balance. Persons desiring to save up to sl are permitted to secure a savings card, price 10 cents. Savings stamps may then be purchased at various times at cost of 10 cents each. When nine of these stamps have been affixed to the card 1t can then be deposited as a certificate for s1 and placed to the depositor's credit. Savings stamps will not be exchanged for pos tage stamps, nor are they good for pos tage. After an account has been opened de- posits may be sent either by mail or some representative.
 Interest at the rate of two per cent separately and payable annually, will be allowed
 "A depositor may at any time with draw the whole or any part of his de- posits with any interest that has accrued | by surrendering the certificates. If for any good reason the depositor cannot ap- pear in person to make a withdrawal a blank order will be furnished their rep resentative, and the order, when properly 1 filled in and witnessed and returned to
 the postmaster, together with savings far tl,a L. withdrawn, will be honored. Tn case of death the amount to the credit of any depositor will be paid to | the executor administrator. "In case no administrator is desired by
 their relatives, if deemed proper, the postmaster may pay the amount on de- posit to person entitled to receive same. "A depositor will be permitted to ex- change the whole or any part of their deposits in sums of $20, $40, s6O, $50, sl0O, | or multiples of s100 up to and including
 $500, into United States registered or
 coupon bonds, bearing interest at the
 rate of two and one-half per cent per annum, payable sem-annually, and re- deemabe at the pleasure of the United States after one year from date of issue,
 both principal and interest payable 20
 years from such date in United States gold coin, such exchange made January lst and July lst.
 These bonds are exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States, and no state. county or city can tax them.
 These bonds can only be secured by converting postal savings deposits and will not be issued to persons who are not depositors; but whether in register or coupon form the depositor may sell or assign at any time they may desire to anyone.
 Applications for bonds must be made at least b days before January 1st or July 1st.
 Deposits will be received or withdrawn from a. m. to s D. m. every day, ex- cept Sundays and holidays"

to bringing into controversy any criticism for fear of doing someone an injustice.
 After much talking the following con-
 clusions were agreed upon:
 That Lee and Jackson on our side were the greatest, while on the federal side Grant and Mcclellan, and the civil of
 ficers Lincoln and Stephens. They said of MT. Lincoln that his life was beauti- ful mystery, and while he did not possess
 cheerful nature, nor cheerful opinions
 about things that sweetened and beauti- fled the life of person, yet he was one
 of the greatest men that our country had produced. By reason of the civil war the southern people were forced to main
 tain hostility with his politics, but who could help from loving his humanities in spite of his politics?
 The writer had reached Greensboro. PN. C., when he heard of MT. Lincoln s tragic death. and remembering his kind-
 ness to our wounded on the battlefield of Sharpsburg, he shed tears.
 It was decided that the greatest of all evils was war, and that in politics there
 was plenty of humbugry and hypocrisy,
 both changing virtue into vice, and in-
 stead of wisdom, folly and wickedness
 rule, and the milk of human kindness souring into what should be manly
 bosoms. The entire little company rose to their feet and proclaimed that Alex
 ander IT. Stephens was the greatest of all in wisdom and prophecy. Get this history and read it. Of all books I think it is next to the Bible.
