determination to advance this plan in preference to others, and the scope of the settlement will remain in doubt un- til the negotiations open.
 The Alien Labor Question.
 Premier Laurier and his associates will urge strongly that the border im- migration question be definitely settled. Under the premler's direction the Cana dian parliament passed an alien immi- grafton law last spring. by which Amer ican contractors and American labor were barred from competing in the work on the Crows Nest Pass railway, a gov ernment undertaking in western Cana. da. On the other hand. 1t Is claimed by the Canadians that about 5000 Amer jeans are in the Klondike territory be- longing to Canada and that fully 10, 900 American contract laborers are work ing in the mines of British Columbia The United States immigration laws, 1t Is asserted. are administered with harshness along the Canadian border and are daily source of irritation.
 Sir wilfrid, therefore. will suggest that the causes of irritation be removed on both sides, and 1t Is understood that he Is prepared to offer a repeal of Ca- nadian restrictions in the Klondike and other regions if the administration of the American law Is made more lenient.
 In this connection the cooperation of the United States Is desired In the plans of the Canadian authorities to make an easy route to the Klondike. The pro- posed route is by boat from Fort Wran- gle to the Stickene river. United States. and up the Stickene via Tasland lake to the Yukon river and thence to the goldfields. As the Stickene river Is on Ia fn na any possible controversy, although the treaty of Washington is said to make the navigation of the river free to the Canadians and Americans alike.
 Regarding the matter of reciprocity, the general purpose of the negotiations will be to give the United States the benefit of the minimum clause of the present Canadian law in exchange for the 20 per cent reduction allowed under the Dingley law. The desire of Sir wilfrid and his associates will be to confine the arrangement to a few im- portant articles. allowing time to de- velop it's usefulness and extend It's scope. On the part of Canada the arti- cles likely to be proposed for reciproci- ty are fish. coal, lumber and barley. On the part of the United States the arti- cles likely to figure In the negotiations are coal. coal oil, corn, railway and electrical supplies, machinery of all kinds. agricultural implements, native woods, watches. clocks. cotton and cer- tain forms of iron and steel. The Ca- nadian law permits a one-eighth reduc- ton of duties this year and one-fourth reduction next year to such countries as give advantage to Canada At pres ent British goods get this reduction, while American goods do not.

SIR WILFRID'S VISIT.
HE WOULD SETTLE AT ONCE ALL OUR DISPUTES WITH CANADA.
The Coming of the Dominion Prime Min ister to He Made the Occasion of . Discussion and Possible Adjustment of Many PerplexinE Controversies

Washington, Nov, 10. - The com ing of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. premier of Canada: Sir Louis Davies, minister of marine in the Laurier cabinet, and oth- CT officials of the Dominion. who have just arrived here, will have an im- portant bearing, not only on the Be- ring sea settlement. but on all the pending questions which have been sources of international complication between the United States and Canada namely, the passage of alien laborers to and from Canada, the north Atlantic fisheries question. the presence of many Americans in the Klondike ter ritory belonging to Canada and In the mining regions of British Columbia. the fisheries trouble along the great lakes. the bonded privilege granted Canadian railroads, the controversy over rights In the Frazier river. British Columbia, and in Puget sound, and the question of a reciprocity arrangement between the United States and Canada. The es- sential features of Sir wilfrid's mis- sion were communicated to the officials here by persons fully advised of the premier's plans. and 1t can be said that the suggestion that the decks be clear ed of existing disputes between Cana da and the United States met with the favor of the administration.
 While the Boring sea settlement oc- casioned the visit of the Canadian pre- mier. the Canadian authorities attach less importance to 1t than they do to the other questions mentioned. They say that the Canadian sealing interest Is confined almost entirely to the far west ern territory. where the sealers fit out. and that even there considerable per- centage of the SO called Canadian seal CTS hall from Seattle.

There are seven from Goldsboro, three
from Tarboro. FIVE from Durham, four
from Greensboro. two from Wake Tor

said Mr.. Dughi, land have been adj

Observer has broken the record and
these ffty-one letters received within
less than thirty-six hours after the pub
lication Of the notice are testimonials to
the value Of your pages that need no

This is an object lesson in advertising.

letters came from every direction, and
from every part of the State from which
a reply could have been received in so
short time. As Mr. Dughi remarked,

tain as many more letters from points

Mr.. Dughi's experience Is in keeping
with the experience of Mr.. J. T. Harris,
of Harris Lithia Springs, and hum

of the benefits derived from the use
of our columns. They all merely sub
