expects that considerable progress will
made between this date and next Fri
day, when recess will be taken until
September 20.
Thursday, the American commission
ers will give hearing to the representa-
tive of the Boston cham Der of commerce.
General trade questions will be con-
sIdered.
Probably the same day hearing will
be given to the interests of the Ameri-
can lumbermen. Last week, Don NJ.
Dickinson was heard in the interest of
American lumbermen who own govern
ment timber in Canada, but the hear
ing this week will be for those who are
interested in other branches of the
business. The commissioners decline to
state in detail anything concerning
either of the hearings set down for this
week.
Sir W1lfrid Laurier will probably re-
turn this week.
1t is learned that the copyright ques-
ton will be before the commission as
the work goes on. The Canadian
publishers desire in a measure to be
freed from the rigorous copyright laws
of the mother country, and they also
desire readiustment of the copyright
laws existing between the United States
and Canada. This question, however,
will probably not be discussed until
other matters have been disposed of.

An Ingenious Invention.

county man has invented little contri-
vance which, while it may not revolu-
tionize the world. is likely TO prove
great convenience. S. Y. Penrad has
applied for a patent on an invention to
drive shingle nails. 1t is somewhat on
the principle of a seeding machine or a
combination hoe and bean dropper The
nails are poured into a hopper, from
which they are automatically fed in
front of a hammer or plunger. II is
believed that the machine will prove a
great help TO those who are anxious to
