farmers, many people are led to sug-

do more harm than good. AS an illus

taken from the Dallas News. "If
Southern women are really eager to
utilize more cotton, let them abandon
elastics and return to the good old

there is little, If any more cotton in

TEXAS COTTON MILLS.

Comparatively few people know
that there are sixteen cotton mills
now in successful operation in Texas.
One of these mills, located at Post
City, and established by the late c. w.
Post, is unique among the mills Of the
world in the number of processes to
which IL submits the cotton, Most
mills are devoted to single process,
or not more than two or three. The
Post City cotton mill takes the seed
cotton from the farmers wagon and
carries 1t through every process of
manufacture until II is converted into
sheets and pillow cases of highest
quality. The cotton is ginned, spun
and woven, bleached and hemmed, the
finished product being ready for the
ultimate consumer. II is stated thai

A FOSSIL STUMP
Discovered About so Feet Below Sur
face in Oklahoma Mine.

One of the strangest finds in geolo-
gical way ever made in that section
has just been unearthed by workmen
in sinking a new shaft for the Rock
Island Coal Co. near Anderson, Okla
1t is that of a fossil stump, about six
feet in diameter at the base and
standing about eight feet in height.
The remarkable feature about the
find is that the stump was discovered
at a depth of about so feet and was
encased in a stratum of sandstone. 1t
lay, or rather stood, 35 feet below the
upper crust of the stone. In matel tai
it partook of the surrounding rock, be-
ing hard gray sandstone. The
mould is perfect, showing the trac-
ings of bark, and the gnarled expan-
sions at the base might easily be TAX
en- for the roots of a living tree.
Biologists have been especially at
tracted by the find, owing to the pc
culiar conditions. Fortified trees are,
of course. quite fequent, but are rare
ly found beneath the surface except in
direct connection with the coal de-
posits. The present find was 800 feet
above the coal stratum and is fossil
of some giant tree that fourished in the
latter part OF tne cdfponlIerouS age
how many millions Of years ago is
purely a matter of conjecture.
From appearances the body Of the
primeSal forest giant must have been
snapped by storm and carried away,
leaving the stump to petrify at a time
when Oklahoma was part of the great
tropical belt that extended perhaps as
high as the great lake region.
The stump, after being assembled.
was given by the coal company to the
Federal Bureau of Mines. This de-
partment then turned it over to the
curators Of the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington. The fossil weighs
about Is tons. 1t will cost several
hundred dollars to remove and mount
1t for exhibition purposes

ing head of a company which knew so
little about and resigned. He did not
know whether the company was still
in existance.
When Mr.. Thorne took the stand he
said he took up the matter of the So
called Westehester deal with Presi-
dent Mellen in June or July, 1906. The
two roads were at that time rivals for
a franchise and he said he told Mr..
Mellen that If the two were eombin-
ed the obtaining of a franchise prob
ably could be arranged. A letter from
Theme to Mellen Oct. Is, 1906, advis-
ing secrecy as to the details prior to
the contamination of the deal, was
read into the record. 1t referred to
the possibility of the transaction be-
ing blocked by people in Fourteenth
street"
This, the witness said, was because
some leaders in Tammany Hall favored
granting a franchise to the Westchester
road while Others favored the Portches-
ter road.
First wish to state to you" wrote
Thorne, that l am debating this letter
and the enclosed memorandum to my per-
sonal stenographer, in whom 1 have ev-
cry confidence, and that there is abso-
lutely no risk of anyone learning the con-
tents of either.
~ have had several interviews with the
city authorities, and although some
things may have to be done there, can
assure you that / will get what I want,
provided I own both franchises. AS 1t is
ait the present time, there are people In
Fourteenth street who are very strongly
in favor of Westchester and others in
favor of the roads to get through any
thing because they naturally have the
opposition of the road and the fact is
that when anything goes through both
sides will have to be taken care of. but
eliminating this can greatly facilitate
the matter and reduce costs.

roads and also turned over to the Mill

Perry and Thorne as a sort of holding

expenses in connection with the trans
action.
The New Haven, in addition to the two
roads, took over all the stock of the

Commissioner S ay S
Organizations Are
Responsible for
High Prices
Immunity to Operations Of The
Antitrust Law Sought

Washington, April 29.-Lumber
manufacturers associations through
combination and agreement have in
creased the price of lumber and en-
deavored through lobbying to infiu-
ence legislation according to a partial
report on the lumber industry made
public today by the commissioner OF
corporations. The report opposes any
effort to exempt lumber associations
from the operations of the Sherman
antitrust law.
After reciting that price combina-
tons among lumber manufacturers
have usually been affected through as
sociations and declaring that in viz
tually every region of lumber produc-
ton, associations exist, it sums up the
findings as follows:
while some of the avowed purposes
Of the associations are to bring about
and foster practices that are beneficial
both to producer and consumer, the
chief purpose apparently has been to
increase profits by advancing prices,
1.-THE wholesale prices of lumber
have been higher because of the as
ISOLATED activities of lumbermen.
THE National Lumber NIanufactur-
ers' Association has been active in its
effort to shape legislation. In 1909 it
maintained an aggressive lobby in
Washington to defeat reduction of
the tariff on lumber"
Lumber prices, according to the re-
port, had advanced from so to 100 per
cent. between 1897 and 1907
During this period and since,' said
the investigators, the lumber men
through their associations and other
wise worked industriously, striving in
concert to maintain or raise prices"
Manufacturers in many industries,
wholesale and retail dealers, the in
vestigators found, have organizations
similar to the lumber associations. AS
to the activities of the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association, the
report said:
1.-The association has generally di-
rected its efforts towards those things
that affect lumber producers in COM
mon. Some of its activities, such as
efforts to secure just and fair treat
ment from thffe railroads with respect
to freight rates, are undoubtedly prop
er. It's actions in laying its views be-
fore legislative bodies In an open and
straightforward way may not be OBJ
jectionable, but 1t has not stopped
there. When, in 1909, Congress was re-
vising the tariff law, this association
was not content to present its case
in the form of proper arguments 1t
resorted to political intrigues in it's
attempts to influence both political
parties in Congress; it tried to pack
committees; it attempted to secure the
influence of cabinet officers; and Of
fieers of the association claimed large
credit for the election of two United
States senators, one of whom was sub
sequently unseated by the Senate of
the United States"
