on account of the enfeebled condition of
his aged mother. Bishop Ootter, of Wi

will have. He has it in mind TO make q
trip to Asia and cannot now say how

swept from the state, says the Hudson
True Republican. AT present there is
duty of about So per thousand feet on
the raw lumber. This is des,gned 10
keep Canadian lumber ont, But how
does it protect our lumber industries to
destroy the timber Of the state in a sin
gle generation? What will the offspring
Of fumbermsn do Tor employment when
every sawnill in the state is closed, and
the standing timber of the state cut down
and destroyed? The Wilson bill removes
the duty on the raw material. 1t will in
the end protect the labor of the state by
helping to preserve our forests, and it
cannot injure it in the least now, for the
labor is employed on manufactured lum-
ber.
