PAPER WILL BE CHEAPER
PREDICTION BASED OS COXTEM.
PliATED MEHGER OP SEV
EltAL BIG MILLS.
Appleton, Wis., Aug. 14. "If the
merger of the print paper mills of
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota
Is perfected, as now seems likely,
within two years from now print
paper will be sold cheaper than It
has in twenty years," said the owner
of one of the largest paper mills In
the Fox river valley.
"Don't understand from that pre
diction that I mean the price will be
cut down and remain down, tor It
won't, but it will be a case of cutting
and slashing of prices by the merger
interests, in an effort to either drive
out the companies which will not
enter the merger at the start, or to
compel them to dispose of their
plants at figures placed upon them by
the appraisers.
"The Independents will have a
hard row to hoe If the Government
does not come to their rescue as It
did when the General Paper Com
pany was dissolved by the order ot
the Federal court two yeara ago.
"I understand that the consolidat
ed company will start with 115,000,
000 capital, which would more than
pay for the plants which will enter
the combination, but there are sev
eral big companies, including the
Patten and the Kimberly-Clark,
which will remain Independent
plants, so that a fight which will cost
the promoters thousands of dollars
before it is over is sure to come.
"The cost of the raw material is
constantly increasing and under ordi
nary circumstances the price of paper
would be bound to Increase, but tho
one object of the merger is to control
the entire output of print paper in
the middle west, and when that Is
accomplished, If it ever is, the price
of paper will be sent skyward."

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 14. Strenu

the warships the allies have repulsed
charge after charge ot the fanatic'
and fearless tribesmen who re
spurred forward to deed ot phe
nomenal bravery by what they con
sider holy seal.
Time after time they have swarmed
down upon the city undaunted by tba
great gape torn in their ranks by the
bursting shells from the gunboat",
undismayed as rank after rank fell
under the withering fire ot the
French and Spanish riflemen. Their
courage is inspiring. It is only be
cause of sheer physical inability to
conquer that they fall.

mented, and almoBt with each addi
