Ell PASO, May 10.-Increasing con-
fidence in the ability of Generals Scott
and Obregon to effect an agreement
as to the status of the American pun
tive expedition in Mexico was evil
dent on both sides of the Rio Grande
today, Notwithstanding the situation
was not materially altered by the
'conferees in their three-hour talk last
night. The optimism appeared based
largely upon the admission that anoth-
er conference would be held, and that
General Obregon and his military ad-
visors maintained attitudes of hope
fulness.
The net result of the conference
already held is that the Mexican rep
resentatives yet insist upon placing
the question of withdrawal of Gen
eral Pershing's forces ahead of the
question of cooperation. General
Scott was expected to receive from
the war department communication
upon which reply could be delivered
to General Obregon's counter-proposal
for joint patrol of the border by the
troops of each cuntry oon its side
of the line. Wit this agreed to, Gen
eral Obregon believed that co-opera-
ton in the running down of bandits
that raided across the line might be
more effective.

troops and the disposition of the little
force will depend upon circumstances

NUMBERING RULES
ARE NOW REVISED
EFFECT WILL BE TO PREVENT
INFERIOR TIMBER FROM
LOCAL COMPETITION.

Rules revising the system of timber
grading effective since February, 1905
and tending to prevent inferior grades
of lumber from coming into competi.
ton with long lasting timber grown
in this section were adopted Tuesday
by the Georgia Florida Sawmill asso-
citation in session in Jacksonville. The
action taken by the members is one
of the most advanced steps made in
recent years to produce a demand for
Georgia and Florida lumber and will
be source of qualification to mill
men throughout the two states.
Besides revising the regulations rel
ative to grading, the association elect
ed officers for the ensuing year and
voted to hold the next meeting at Live
Oak on June 20, when H. w. Taylor,
president of the Standard Lumber
company, is to entertain the visitors
at big picnic.
According to members of the asso-
citation, the rules of 1905 have become
lax and reached the stage where they
permit inferior grades of wood to en-
ter into competition with the higher
grades produced in Georgia and Flor
ida. BY reason of this condition the
price that manufacturers have been
getting for the better class OF lumber
has been reduced. Hence the decision
of the members to change the rules
in order to enable the lumbermen to
get fair prices for their better class
of goods.
OF vital effect on the condition of
the business in this part of the coun-
try the amendment provides:
All lumber must be sound long leaf
yellow pine Sizes two inches and over
in thickness and over six inches in
width, there must show on the cross
and fourth inch, measured radially
from the heart center or pith, not less
than six annual rings of growth, a
greater number of which shall show
at least one-third summer wood. which
is the darK portion of the rings of
growth. Wide ringed material exclud-
ed by this rule will be acceptable, pro-
yided that in the greater number of
the annual rings the dark ring is hard
and in width equal to or greater than
the adjacent light colored ring. in all
cases there must be sharp contrast
in color between the spring and sum
mer wood. For sizes where the cen
ter cannot be determined the follow.
ing will apply there must show on
the cross section an average of not
less than one-third summer wood. and
otherwise as provided where the heart
center or pith can be determined.
Well manufacturing full to size and
saw butted, and shall be free from the
following defects: unsound, loose and
hollow knots, worm holes and knot
holes, through shakes or round shakes
that show on the surface, and shall be
