LUMBER JUMPS i - V.

INTO THE SuiES ft 4 f $ 4b A -h THE PRICE OP BUILDING MATERIAL IS EXCESSIVELY HIGH NOW. STIMULATE BUILDING Is the Prediction of Real Estate Men '.Who Say Builders Pear Another t Advance Bricks Remain Same. 1 :.ts TKe prices of building materials are floating now with the clouds and according to local dealers, the prospect is that everything will remain sky-high until next fall. There is considerable building planned in this city for the coming spring and the outlook for the builders is far from encouraging, but the real estate men predict that the high price of materials will only stimulate building as every one will wish to put up the houses they have planned for, because of the general fear that prices will soar again. The real estate men say that this rule wrorks the opnosite way when prices are low, the builders holding off in the hope that the market will drop still lower. At the present time yellow pine is selling at $10 per thousand....--Only recently yellow pine sold at $5. Lumber men from all 6ver the country are now. in session " at Memphis, Tenn., considering the advisability "of increasing the price of poplar timber. Lumber men of this city , are of the opinion that it Avill advance' from $2 to $5 a thousand. There has been an advance of $2 on all grades of yellow pine, with a prospect of the price again going up. G. II. Dilks, lumber buyer of the (laar, Scott & Co., stated yesterday that the reason of the prevailing high price in timber of all lands was due generally to the heavy rains in the south west and the dry weathdr in West Virginia, 'Virginia and other slates in the southeast. Last -spring the streams were so 0w in the latter section of the country, that scarcely any logs were floated and the same conditions are existing now. The lumber is there, but there is no way of transporting it to the markets. In Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and other states in the southwest, there has been an exceptionally heavy rain'fall and not more than onefourth of the mills are at work. This makes' a scarcity of timber in that part of ; the country. ) The price of bricks still remains the same in Richmond, $7.50 per thousand, but indications 'point' to a , . material, and the wise builder is . . , . . now laying in a supply of this article at the prevailing price, in anticipation of it "moving up another story." MILLER OFFERED REWARD TO CHARLES KING IF HE GAVE FALSE STATEMENTS IN PO- -LICE COURT. Young Fellow Held for Perjury Con fesses, But No ction Will Be Taken Against Miller. In police court yesterday morning, Prosecutor Jessup stated that the two boys, Charles King and Louis Kettler, who were locked up Tuesday xor aiiegea perjury, in the case against M. R. Miller, charged with selling nonor 10 minors, among whom were King and Kettler, that the boys had made a confession to him that their testimony had been false and Mr. Jessup asked the court clemency for them. Judge Converse stated that he would take no hand in the matter, -and if the pros ecutor did not care to prosecute the boys, the matter would be dropped, as far as the court was concerned. In an affidavit Charles Kinig, who it was claimed bought the whiskev from Miller, stated that on January 15 about G in the evening, Miller came to him while he was standing at the corner of Eighth and Main streets, waiting for a car, and said "Ain't you Charley King!" King responded "Yes," and then. Miller said:"" "When you are up in police court tomorrow tell them you don't

....... - in .-to".-.--, t-i--. ' -J!know a" thing about it, and I will make it all right with you. King said "they are liable to get me in trouble': and Miller said "No they won't." ; .vIfc is probable that no action will be taken against Miller for subornation of witnesses, as King perjured himself rather to shield Miller than for any reward. This statement King makes.

Ac cording to J. S. Williams, an oil ex pert of Summerland, Cal., there is an underground lake in Alberta which covers over 1,000 square miles in area.

What Forced Deposit of $10 on Mileage Books Means Governor Hanly's Fight. Indianapolis, Jan. 17. Governor Hanlys movement against the $10 rebate mileage book has attracted much attention in commercial circles and the business men of various communities are beginning to be interested in the effort to abolish the requirement for a $10 deposit, which, in addition to the purchase price, now goes with every 1,000-mile book. The efforts of Governor Hanly are in line with those that have been successful in Michigan and New York where there is a rate of 2 cents a mile for passenger travel. A bill is now pend ing in the Ohio legislature providing or the same rate. It has been poinited out by various Eastern papers recently that the rail roads are using annually $20,000,000 of the people's money for which they do not give any return, and at 4 per cent .a year, this means a clear gain o the roads of $S00,000. The Penn sylvania has a big plum in this $10 rebate mileage book. According to reliable statements of railroad officials in Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania in 1905 sold 100,000 mileage books to passengers, at the usual rate of $20,00 each, and de manded and obtained an additional deposit of $10 for each book thus sold. This makes $2,000,000 for mileage books and $1,000,000 of a de posit from the purchasers, which is retained without interest , by the rail road company. ; This; forced loan of $1,000,000 which the railroad exacts from the people that use its lines means a direct gain of $50,000 annually. No other corporation could negotiate such a loan without paying interest. Commercial men are now waking up to what they call the injustice of the system and are preparing to resist claims that may be mad& upon, them iin the future. Governor Hanly's recent action in calling Jogether members of the Central Passenger association for discussion of the mileage book evil haas attracted the attention of railroad and commercial men all over the country.

GAVE DANCE TO GET

l - - MONEY FOR CHURCH Tainted" Cry Was Then Raised by the Pastor Way Out of trouble Washington, N. J-, Jam 17. When the Pleasant Grove Presbyterian church, up ori Anthony mountain, needed money,, a month ago, Mrs. Susan Apgan, a widow, who is a leading worker in the church, hit upon a scheme to raise it. Her scheme was to hold a dance. She sent out invitations and opened her hospitable farmhouse for the event. It was a success, and after paying off the fiddler there was $40 net to be applied to the needs of the ehurch. t Pastor J. W. Lowden, however, would not accept the money when she turned it in, declaring it was "tainted," and he was supported by most of the trustees of the church. An unusual amount of discussion has followed ever since, and it was only within' the ".last few days j .that the
