WHOLESALERS TO INVESTIGATE1 Funeral of Priest

Lumbermen are to Seek Reason for
High Retail Prices.
LEVEL OF 1907 IS MAINTAINED

Retail lumber prices throughout the west
are to be the subject of investigation by
the national organisers of the manufact
urers and whllpsalers.
The producers of the lumber industry
are seeking to restore building operations
and the consequent consumption of lumber
to a point where the condition from over
stocking will be relieved. It is their con
tention that present retail prices, incon
sistently high In relation to cost, are re
sponsible for restriction of consumption.
Steps to be taken when the findings of
this Investigation are completed have not
been determined upon. Wholesalers In the
larger western distributing centers are be
ing Instructed to report observations on
conditions in their territories to the asso
ciation to which they belong.
The situation has by peculiar trade con
ditions placed the wholesaler at odds with
his customer, the retailor.
The policy of retrenchment and conserva
tism adopted by the railroads aa a re
sult of the 1907 "panic" left the lumber
manufacturers with their capacity devel
oped to a volume of production perhaps
40 per cent greater than consumption.
Wholesnle prices fell and have been a fig
ure far below those of the prosperous period
preceding the stringency since. Meanwhile,
the wholesalers say, the retailers have
maintained their prices at a constant level,
disregarding reductions In cost.
Fall to Produce Figures.
An Omaha retailer who protests that the
statements of the wholesalers are Inac
curate, declines to quote figures showing
that reductions have been made in proport
Hon to the falling of wholesale pri-es.
The figures given by wholesalers com
paring prices on certain common grades
of lumbor show reductions by which the
retailer has benefited.

Small Boys to Steal
Had Moved the Entire Contents of a
Pigeon House and Taken Other
Things.
In the arrest of two small colored boys
and a white lad and the recovery of fifty
pigeons they had stolen Thursday, Detec

a series of burglaries. It was found that
the lads, acting under the Instigation of
Sam Baxter, a grown-up negro, had robbed
Forest lUn cemetery of flower frames,
including those from the grave of William
Krug, and had attempted all manner of
other thefts. Baxter, who was arrested
previously, Is charged with having robbed
the grocery store of W. H. White at 3113
Hurdette street.
The boys are John Norton, 10 years old,
a white boy living at 3002 I.lndsey street;
Cecil Smith, 10 years old, colored, of
Thirtieth and Grant streets, and Hugh
McLandon, 10 years old, colored, of Thirty

The small prisoners declared Baxter had
