 with the lumber induatry plami through co-operation with the Harvard

 versity next fall a two-year course In tbc business of lumbering. This 

 radical departure In a classic Institution Is reported to be at the request 

 of prominent lumber Interests of tbc country, and will doubtless be an 

 iilil to the Induatry by aupplying a large quota of young men with sound 

 principles of economy, efficiency and conservation in all departments of

 I'v Cieorge V. Sloan & Bro., wholesale lumber and planing mill Arm, 

 w.Tc sold at auction .-Iprll 10 to a committee of creditors for 185,000. 

 The committee is beaded by Douglas H. Thomas, the president ot the 

 Mechants-Mechauics National Bank ; tbc other members being B. R. 

 Turnbuii of Norfolk, representing tbc Uowland Lumber Company, of 

 tliat city, and E. F. Uawtiiorne. of New York, acting for tbc Atlantic 

 I 'oast Lumber Company. The Urm of (Jeo. F. Sloan & Bro. went into 

 I lie bonds of receivers several years ago, and the property has since 

 tli.n been idle. The Sloan Lumber Company, of wblcb I'isher Sloan 

 is president, succeeded in the wholesale business, hut did not undertake 

 till- operation of the planing mill. Baltimore banks were among the 

 largest creditors. 



The questiou of switching charges which has engaged tbc attention 

 of shippers tor years and has been made the subject of energetic fights, 

 is once more In a state of agitation, tbc Interstate Commerce Commission 

 liavlng handed down an order on April !'> compelling the Pennsylvania 

 llailroad Company to postpone the fixing of ¥5 per car as the switching 

 rate until .VuRust l."!. The increase was to have become effective April 15. 

 Meanwhile, further evidence as to the Justice ot the charge is to be 

 lakcu. I'erwilng the outcome of this case, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad 

 Coinpauy. which was to have advanced Its rate in May, will probably 

 lake no action. Tbc proceeding against tlie Pennsylvania was undertaken 

 by the traffic liureau ot the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association 

 of Baltimore in the interest of tlie shippers. The matter baa been 

 liifore the Interstiite <:'ominiice Commission and before the .Maryland 

 I'lihlic Service Commission in one shape or another for several years. 

 the last order in the controversy baring lieen in favor ot the railroads. 

 The sbipiiers maintain that the charge of $!) per cor is too high, and 

 will endeavor to have it enjoined. 



fi. F. Lorssen. representing the well-known firm of F. W. Barth, 

 of Ducsseidorf. Germany, importers ot American hardwood lumber and 

 logs, stopped in Baltimore ten days ago on the way to the Pacific 

 loast. While here be stated that the stocks ot logs on the other side 

 were very large, and he urged, as has every other foreign visitor for 

 some time past, that shipments be curtailed. Mr. Larssen is visiting 

 the Pacific coast, it is supposed, to see about the chances for Inmber 

 shipments after the opening of the Panama canal.
