SPLIT ON LUMBe r.
This Likely 20 Make Reciprocity Agree
ment With Canada Impossible.

Washington, January IL. -Representa-
Der interests are In conference here today.
Among the Americans present are J. H.
Parker and W. W. Brown Of Portland,
Me.
There were also present United States
High Joint Commissioner John A. Cas-
andITowney and Mr.. Cbarleton . mem Der
of the Canadian High Joint Commission.
Dir. Charleton, the first speaker WAS
followed by Representative Tawnsy and
he by MIR. Edwards.
Lumber. 1t Is said. has been the rock
on which the United States and Canadian
Joint commi ssioncrs have split in ever
effort at agreement OH reciprocity treaty.
The Canadians have been willing to make
any reasonable concessions for free white
pine and have hesitnted to agree to any
concessions without important reciprocal
advantages on lumber. Free admission
to Canada of American forest products
and free export OF saw logs and pulp
wood are the concessions the Canadians
from Canada hut an export duty has, been
threatened in retaliation for the % duty
on white pine.
The provincial parliament of Ontario
already has imposed retalistory export
duty oil saw logs. In exchange for the
proposed concessions the Canadians at his
mornings session put in strong plea for
free lumber. The Americans. however,
produced data tending to show that the
man ufacture OF lumber in Canada 10
much cheaper than in the United states
and that Its proximity to the New Eng
land market and the important conoes-
sions granted by the Canadian roads
place the northwestern and southern pro-
duct of the United States at q very great
disadvantage and consequently the Cana
dams demand was wholly untsnable. 1t
seems probable, however, that the Amsri-
cans rather than that the pending treaty
between the two countries should COM
pletely fail. will consent to = commission
of twenty per cent from the present two

COULDN'T RUN AWAY FROM THE
TURNKEY.

Jack Connors has been wanted for q
long time by the Portland police for
stealing a coat on India street some time
ago. Last night he WAS found and ar
rested by Officers Moore and White and
together with another prisoner sent into
the station. Connors was ugly and while
Turnkey Emery was trying to get the
two men into the cell room Connors broke
away and ran. The turnkey, who is built
rather heavily for a Splinter, lost no time
in getting after Connors. The man ran
up Myrtle street. over Congress and down
Pearl with the turnkey close behiud him.
Finally Emery caught up with Connors
and took him back to the station. II was
q mighty lively race while 1t lasted and
the turnkey Is entitled to much credit for
recapturing the man.

part Of the executive session of the Sem

Of senator Berry Of Arkansas TO have the
discussion Of the peace treaty take plaos
In open session. Senator Berry opened
the discussion in behalf Of the motion.
Senators Davis, Frye and Gray, all
members Of the peace commission united
In saying that their experience In formu.
latiug the treaty had convinced them that
much would come up In considering
it In the Senate which should not be CIV

had an appreciablo eff ct on other sepa-
tors and ID soon became evident that the
chances Of success Of the Berry amend
uen had been considerably impaired.
An interesting point bearing upon the
treaty was brought out In connection
with the confirmation of Gen. wherry.
senator Hawley asked for action upon
the nomination, saying that IT was
urgent because 1t was designed that
Gen Wherry should 20 to the Philip

that this policy, In connection with
speeches made In the Senste was calcu-

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became so poor that l
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
Won for advice. / followed the advice
YOU gave, and used Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
Won directed, and am now as well as
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured Of
irregularity."
