1t is fact, strange as it may appear
to the read. that our manufacturing
enterprises, which afforded employment
TO some 1900 people, were built and are
operated with home capital, there being
less than $4,000 foreign capital invest
ed here. A cordial welcome is, however,
extended to strangers, particularly such
as come among us with the view OF To-
eating and engaging in legitimate enter
prises. We long since ceased to fight
the battles Of the late war over and the
bloody chasm has been bridged by
friendly hand and garlanded with
flowers.

that High Point and tributary sections

IN CONCLUSION.
All credit is due to the grand people

fearless energy placed their capital into

them on towards success. May the fu-

Joint Commission Ad5ourns to Meet
in Quebec Aug. ,.
Washington, Feb. 21.-The American
Canadian joint high commission, after
session yesterday, adjourned to meet
at Quebec Aug. 2, unless the chairmen
of the respective commissions agree upon
another date. There were several rea-
sons which prompted yesterdays action.
1t appears there were serious differences
Of opinion between them regarding the
important matter Of the dclimitation Of
the Alaskan boundary. Then the time
for the meeting Sf the Canadian parlia-
ment IL overdue, and the Canadians are
anxious to return as soon as possible. II
also became apparent that there was
little likelihood Of the possibility Of the
ratification by the United States senate
at its present session OF any treaty
which might be framed, which also prob
ably figured in the decision to adjourn.
A dozen important questions were re
ferred to the commission for its con-
alteration, and the commissioners assert
that substantial progress in the settle
ment and adjustment Of many of them
mas been made. Probably those which
have given the most serious trouble and
proved stumbling block to Hna!
agreement OH all have been the two
relating to lumber and the Alaskan
boundary question, in both OF which the
Canadians have demanded concessions
which the Americans felt it would be
ppejudicial to the best interests Of the
United States to grant.
Il was felt also that an adjournment
for few months might result in a
better prospect for harmony and n dis
position on the part Of the Canadians to
agree to propositions made to them from
