LUMBER OUTLOOK IS
REPORTED BRIGHTER
40 TO 30 PER CENT INCREASE IN
EASTBOUND TONNAGE ON
NORTH COAST LINES.

North coast railroad lines are pre-
pairing to haul a steadily increasing
Of lumber from Washington
stations to the East, exclu-
sive OF what might be classed as
and the market IL grad
ually stiffening in all Douglas FIR cuts
for the expected revival of the in
dustiy, says Charles E. Hunt, writer
in tn Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
S6fngle men, cognizant of the
changed conditions in business which
are about to ensue in the Northwest,
will, on November J., increase the
price of shingles Is cents per 1000,
confident that rising market will
produce the usual effect of stimulat-
ing the buying in sections Of the
Middle West where stocks on hand
have gradually been allowed to run
down.
Tonnage Gains Rapidly.
The slide in the Panama canal has
had a part in the increasing move
ment by rail. although only in a
small degree, since the growth Of the
tonnage hauled by the transcontinen-
tai lines began before the slide
choked of the movement by water.
Compared with October of last year,
some of the transcontinental lines
show an increase in lumber tonnage
alone of from 40 to so per cent. In
ouiries among wholesalers indicate
that this proportion is likely to be
maintained for an indefinite time
and will go forward to such an extent
that prices must necessarily be ad-
vanced.
Buyers say they are already find
ing some difficulty in having large
orders filed. Wholesalers are keep
ing in constant touch with the mar
kets of the Middle West and East
convinced that with the movement OF
the bumper grain crop will come In
creasing purchases of fir lumber.
Lower Rate on Shingles.
The general freight department OF
the Milwaukee this week announced
that, effective December is, the rates
on shingles from the North coas'
shipping centers to Iowa, Wisconsin
Missouri and Illinois points would bt
reduced from 81 and 6S cents pei
100 pounds to 65 cents. Directed II
part at the grain producing sections
of the Middle West, this new rate
although slightly reduced. will give
Washington mills better opportu
nifty to compete with other shingles
produced nearer the center OF con
sumption.
It is stated that there is less lum
ber in transit than for several months
past, the movement now being NOR
nearly adjusted to actual purchase
outside of the 'lumber In transit
plan of consignment, later to be SOL
when buyers can be found.

DATE FOR WILSON'S
WEDDING NOT SET
OF PRE- 8 i.
DENTS ENGAGEMENT CREATES
WIDESPREAD INTEREST.

Definite announcement as to the
date for the wedding of President
Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait, after
the announcement of their engage
ment the latter part of last week, is
eagerly awaited by the American
people as well as Washington society,
for people from all parts of the
United States have showered con-
gratulations upon the president, in
dicating widespread interest in the
event.
First reports stated that the we'd
ding would take place at the home Of
Mrs. Gait in Washington, D. c., the
early part Of December, probably
Just before or just after congress
convenes, but later reports from the
national capital indicated it might
be held sooner. The keenest inter-
est is generally manifested in the
affair and when the president and
Mrs. Gait have appeared in public
during the past week they have been
greeted by large crowds. Congratu-
lations have also been received from
various foreign rulers.
The brief announcement from the
White House, made by Secretary
Tumulty, came as q surprise to Off.
cial Washington. but to number Of
intimate friends it has long been ex.
pected. From this circle came the
story of a friendship whose culmina'
ton was viewed as happy turn In
the troubled and lonely life OF the
nations chief executive.
Friend of Daughter.
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson ant
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew
Mrs. Gait into the White House
They met her first in the early
autumn of last year and were sc
much attracted by her that they
sought her out more and more fre
quently, and the friendship betweer
them rapidly ripened into an affec
tionate intimacy.
Mrs. Gait spent month this sum
mer at Cornish as the house guest o
the presidents eldest daughter. l
was through the intimacy of hi
daughter and cousin that the presi
dent had an opportunity to meet ant
know Mrs. Gait. One of the mos
Interesting facts about the engage
ment, indeed, as told by friends, i
that the presidents daughters shoul'
have chosen Mrs. Gait for their ad
miration and friendship before thei
father did.

The burden of the objections
raised can be summarized az follows:
whats the use OF our growing
any more when we can't sell what we
raise now?"
ivan Houten hasn't been any ben
eft to me-"
We're not getting our moneys
worth"
Whats the use of paying a man
$500 a year to tell US what we
already know?"
"The Farm Bureau isn't represent
ative of the farmers"
The discussion Of this side Of the
case. lasting nearly two hours, was a
reiteration largely Of these points,
coupled with accusations of incom-
potency against the present agent. O..
c. Van Houten, and assertions that
they did not need farm experts adj
vice and that market for what they
could grow is the only necessary in
centive. Taking up these points, Mr..
Cardiff, after being introduced by l..
L. Snow. said:
40 Years q Farmer.
Most Of you gentlemen have
predicated you remarks with the
statement that you have been farm
ing here 10, Is, 25 and so years;
myself have been farmer for 40
years and have a sincere sympathy
with most of the statements that
have been made here; appreciate
the problems of the farm. because
I've been up against them myself.
"Take the problem of markets. II
is quite evident that there's some
thing wrong here, from what you
say. Do you mean to say no improve
ment is possible?"
He recalled several instances cited
by previous speakers, cited other!
that he knew, ending with the asser
ton: 'There's something wrong
I'm here to help you solve these prob
lens. Probably we cannot solv'
them entirely; certainly we can IL
part, If we get in and work together
but you can't do 1t by calling you
neighbors Names"
He went on then to explain his po
sition and his viewpoint of the work
as quoted above, being interrupte'
by numerous questions which he ha
invited.
This marketing problem Is one o
the very things we are working on,
he said. 1--WE haven't done much i
this county-we haven't had time
for you can't work it out in so shol
time, but in those counties whic
have had agents two or three year.

College Farm Sales

The Delaware College farm has
shipped to Merrill Smith, at Man
hasset, Long Island, N. Y, high
class guernsey cow and has also
shipped to H. E. Millard, at Ann
vile, Pa, one of the best Berk-
shire pigs, one year old that the
college farm has bred, Four
Guernsey heifers have also been
sold to the we'll known Aver and
McKenney farm, Marydale, Della
ware county, N. Y. These heif-
ers were purchased by P. A. Dut-
ton, who was the first foreman on
the college farm and who is now
superintendent of the Marydale
farm. He has charge of $500 acres
of land and between 400 and 500
head of registered Jersey cattle.
This is possibly the largest herd
of Jersey cattle in the country and
reflects some credit upon the quail
ity of the college herd to have
some of it's animals selected as an
addition to the famous Marydale
herd of Jerseys.

Newark To Wake Up

Fire Chief Wilson, Chairman of
Carnival Committee, has deter
mined to upset the conservatism
OF this community. He is going
to make Newark unbend and two
smiles grow where only a crouch
grew before. The force he has
considered necessary is the Dare
Devil King Rex, Champion Roller
Skater of the World. He is from
the land OF thrills and delights in
the neutrality-suspicious.
"A few years ago, Newark high
society went in for wheels but
this fellow makes our skating
look like an Irishman's wheelbar-
row just before the whistle blows.
He has one feat, the "slide for
life" from a height of 60 feet
with a IL foot leap in mid-air,
that even excels Ellison's best
player. This is done while on a
skate but free from jag. These
performances are free. Aside
from this he does some fancy skat.

sink and all those stunts known
to the best people in town.
Wilson says he is the rea
thing. He is like the Aetna boys

TEN YEARS
OF SUCCESS
Trust Co. Claims Recognition

To found a banking institution,
to so win the confidence of the
community that it's citizens will
entrust you with the care of hard
earned cash, is a stiff proposition.
Following that, to assume and
maintain a leadership in new
Ideas of bank policy-that re-
lQuires foresight, nerve, and work.
Yet that is what the Newark
Trust and Safe Deposit Com
|pany has done. Adhering as nat
lral with Banking Institution to
ISafety First" they have made
innovations that have affected the
Banking business throughout the
Icounty. In these new ideas; the
public has been the one receiving
Ihe greatest benefit. Ten years
Iold with a policy of service, figures
Iare the facts upon which they are
Ield accountable. In these, they
an present an interesting story.
ION check accounts they have paid
ut in interest $16,280.95; on saw
Ings accounts, S24,850.01 or a total
f Sal, 1906. Under previous
conditions, these amounts would
have furnished budgets for Dlrec-
or Room congratulations. This
amount has gone to the depositors
making them in effect, stockhold-
rS. But this is not all,-other
anks have followed their leader
fhlp and are paying similar atten-
ion to their depositors. All over
he county today, banks are paying
interest as a result of the Trust
company innovation.
In Real Estate, it is safe to say
nat the Trust Company has han
led more sales than all other
peal agencies combined. This
otals a business Of over a hall
flllion-to be exact $517, 7,623.OO.
Like all young institutions they
ave caught the spirit and needs
