But even as the young men turned

dashed towards the shore. In their

apart.

LUMBER PRICES HAVE
TUMBLED, CLAIM OF
WHOLESALE DEALERS
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago, March 30.--National
wholesale lumber dealers in session
here in their twenty-nlnth annual
convention asserted today that ii
labor ana other industries could
readjust themselves as rapidly as
the lumber industry seems to have
done, the reported nation wide
housing shortage would take care
of itself.
The lumber industry has been
accused unjustly of hindering
building by prohibitive prices, ac-
cording to John W. Mcclure, pres
ident of the wholesalers. Lumber
prices have tumbled, he declared.
John E. Lloyd of Philadelphia,
president Of the National Retail
Lumber Dealers association. told
the wholesalers that in his opinion
the peak" of the housing shortage
had passed. 1t was the influx from
the rural districts when wages
were high in the cities and work
plentiful. said Mr.. Lloyd, that was
the chief cause OF the acute short
age of houses.
People are now flocking back to
farms and smaller cities and hous-
es in cities are becoming more
plentiful, he reported,

HAND AS OF APRIL |
(Ry The Associated Press.l

Washington, March SOTO de-
termne whether coal consumers
are unwisely burning their reserve
supplies, the geological survey sent
out today a QUESTIONABLE inquiring
about stocks of coal April /. The
purpose, it was explained by Direc-
tor Smith, is to find out how much
coal is being carried over from
the past coal year, in order that
consumers and producers may plan
for next year. Bituminous produc-
tion the third week in March was
down to 6,46S,000 tons, the lowest
except during the 1919 coal strike.
since the business depression of
1914, Director Smith said. The
weekly average for 1920 was 10,-
100000 tons.
The decrease was to be expected
in part, Mr.. Smith said. because of
decline in consumption and exports,
but said there were many in the
coal trade who contended consum-
ers were burning UP their reserve
supplies. -

Yesterday number of Troop

with the result that they were
pitched into bitches. None of the
horses are vicious but some are
difficult to manage because they

Governor and Mrs, Merritt C.
Mechem were the guests Of honor
last night at the Masonic temple
at the ball which closed the social
features Of the cattlemen'a con-
vention. Some of the leading cat
tie and sheep men of the city and
of the state were present at this
affair, the eliminating event of the
three-day gathering here of stock
men from all over New Mexico.
The ball room of the Masonic
temple was decorated with red
streamers, and red shaded lights,
the floor was in excellent condition
and the Duke City orchestra fur
nished sufficient invitation to try
it out. There were many new
gowns in evidence and the function
was very pretty one. Punch was
served in the lonS el. france hall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mechem Entertained.
Arrangements for the ball were
In charge of the Chamber OF Com
merce and Harry Benjamin was
chairman of the reception commit
tee. During the latter part of the
evening u large number OF stock
men who had gone earlier to the
prizefight at Barelas came in 70
enjoy the last hour OF the ball.
The smoker the night before, with
prizefight combined, afforded not
d little entertainment to both the
visitors to the convention, but to
local stockmen as well. Albuquer-
queans and their wives attended in
cordially large numbers to well
come the representatives Of the
states chief industry.
An Informal dinner was given
previous to the dance to Governor
and Mrs. Mechem and Adjutant
General and Mrs. Henry Rolf
Brown; the table was laid for six,
the other guests being MIR. and
Mrs. a. B, McMlllen.
Resolutions 10 Be Considered.
Resolutions covering many points
of interest to the cattle industry
of the state will be presented for
action by the delegates this after
noon. The resolutions committee
has spent several evenings in draft
ing tho resolu>Aans which will prob
ably cover many of the subjects
considered AT the national conNen-
ton at FL Paao last winter and
several regarding state affairs.
Indications yesterday were that
resolutions would be presented COW
ering freight rates, tariff, interstate
commerce laws, cooperative mar
keting, packer regulation and the
organization of associations for
each national forest to assist the
forest service and cooperate with
the federal institution.
Better Stock.
Organization of a New Mexico
Hereford Breeders association will
also probably be completed. Many
New Mexico stockmen are interest
ed in the introduction of more well
bred stock in the state and feel
that the establishment of an associa-
tion will be conducive to that end.
