Big Deal Again oir Foot With Opposing Bidders. Prices Sky High. Norfolk Virginian Pilot, 25th. , ; For many years there baa been a. deal . on foot looking towards the combination of the great lumber interests of Virginia and Carolina. The promoters are Aug ust Belmont and Charles R. Flint A Co., of New York, and Governor Bmlih, of Maryland. They hare almost an unlim ited amount of money behind them, and it is conceded by many people that Bel mont is the American representative of the great Rothschild banking firm Flint & Co. have many millions and Governor Emith is by no means spsu per. It Itt now learned that in addition to these, parties a wealthy syndicate of Michigan lumbermen have come into the deal and that overtures have been made to the owners of the lumber mills ' which are located In this section. The result is that the local lumbermen don't mind selling out to tho trusts, but tht y are determined that they will un load only at a big profit, tod they think ttat with Belmont Flint Smith bid ding against the Michigan folks there will be something doing... Not very long ago Messrs. Flint Bel mont and Smith went out on a very en joj able "bunting parly." Theyxhartcr edtbeOld Bay Line steamer "Ten nes te" uud ''hunted" over tho lumber district, getting a good idea of the lay of the land and the approximate amount of tandinglmber on it. It is rumored that they then bought some ducks . and geese and went back home elated over 'the success they had. Not long afterwards they secured op tions on many lumber plants But the deal fell through for the time, and the "hunting trip': leaked out. The move is on again, however, with reuewed activity, and local lumber peo ple are thinking about making the sky the limit when the big boys come down and ask for prices. From what can be learned, the "trust" is willing to expend about $20,000,000 In consolidating the numerous plants here abouts. ;v- 'V;',' "'' ' '' " Local lumber people ' say they are too many plants and the irale Is entirely too . good to allow this consolidation "at snch a figure.

A bold gang of burglars are at work here and In two nights this week there were 10 houses entered. In all cases only money was taken. The police say this is proof, to their mind, that the thieves are experts. Last night at one place they cut out a pane of a window of a room In which two men slept, en tered and took all the money in their pockets- They do not disturb silver ware or jewelry. In one case they took f 10 out of a pocket and left a diamond pin lying on a bureau. Attorney General R. D. Gilmer re turned today from his home at Waynes vllle, entirely restored to health.

It is the" purpose of Mr. Lodge, who Is in charge of the bill, to keep it before the Senate persistently un til it is disposed of. He does not count on final action for some time. Senator Nelson will take advantage of any chance to hare the bill creating a Department of Commerce considered, with the hope of securing action upon It during the week if possible.
