Preparing a welcome.

An eruption of red, white and blue has
broken out all over the cities of Pitts burg
and Allegheny. 1t has become epidemic
and every hour sees fresh bursts of color,
while the stars on "OId Glory rival in
number those of the heavens. Every busi-
ness house is robed in bunting and decorated
with banners, and there will be few vel
lings that will not be decked in the national
colors.
Magnificent arches are being erected or
the main thoroughfares; search-lights of in
tense power are being placed on the sur
rounding heights and experts are trying to
outdo each other in the size and beauty OF
electric light designs. Bus siness, politics
and social functions are merely side issues
just now.
The one prevailing and all absorbing idea
is a fitting reception for the veterans who
are coming here to attend the twenty-eighth
national encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic.

Salt From Engrand Free From DUTY.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Septem ber. 8.-The
treasury department, IN a letter in answer
to an inquiry from the Leroy Salt com pany
of Leroy y. Y, states salt imported from
England is free from duty under the new
law, inasmuch as England does not impose
duty on salt imported into that country
from the United States. This decision;
however, does not apply to Canada and
some other English dependencies. A pecu-
liar feature of the new law permits salt
from those countries upon which duty is
levied to come into this country free if it
comes by the way of Liverpool.
