An Enquiry on the Subject In the
Canadian Parliament.

OTTAWA. Ont, Feb. 22.-In reply to a
question, put by Mr.. Clancy, Conserva-
tive, in the House today, as to whether
or not a proposition had been received
from the Washington Government TO
raise the waters of Lake Erie, by dams
or otherwise, the Minister of Marine and
Fisheries stated that no proposal of the
kind had been made by the United States
to raise the Erie waters to compensate
for the lowering of the upper lake waters
caused by the Chicago drainage canal.
The Minister of Public Works. Mr.
Rate. added that there was some CORE
spondence on this subject on file in his
department, but offered nothing in the
form of definite proposition. II is I'M
derstood that the Canadian Government
is prepared TO give immediate cOnsidera-
tion to any reasonable proposal that may
come from the United States authorities
in the matter.

AN INDUSTRIAL CONFLICT.
Canadian Interests in Fight With
American Ffnanciers.

VANCOUVER. B. c., Feb. 22.-The fight
between the Canadian Pacific Railway and
Kootenay smelters, on the one hand. and
J. j. Hill, OF the Great Northern Railway.
the Crows Nest Coal Company. and
American smelters on the other. has as
sumed an active stage
The Canadian Pacific Railway has now
refused 10 n,,,, - coal cars from Crows
Nest mines to the United statv- .-antier
until the coal company carries out its
agreement to supply the Kootenay smelt-
ers with coal and coke. II is charged
that Mr.. Hill dominates the Crows Nest
Coal Company and requires it to refuse
fuel to the Kootenay smelters, thus kill
ing the smelling industry for the benefit
of American smelters.
The Kootenay smelters will be obliged
to shut down for lack of fuel.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unles the Inflammation
can be taken orr 80 the tube restored
to its ~rrn.aI condition, hearing will

Nobody But Preachers and Women


Epinora Monroe Babcock of the Ma
t.onal American Woman Suffrage AS
socilJyion, writes:
The Georgia Legislature has recently
voted down three bills that had been
largely asked for by the women of the
State of Georgia, one raising the age of
projection of girls from ten years, one
prohibiting the labor of children un-
der twelve in factories, and one ad-
mitting young women TO study in the
State textile school. The defeat of
these measures has made suffragists of
hundreds of Georgia women who
never before desired the ballot.
Referring to the defeat of these bills
Mrs. P. F. Ottly writes in the Atlanta
Journal:
''That three such bills as these
should have failed to pass THE House
of Representatives of the State of
Georgia, when the members of the
House knew them to represent THE
wishes of the women of this State, is a
fact which should challenge the atten-
tIion of every thoughtful man and
woman.
"The women of Georgia are entitled
to some slight measure of representa-
tion. They are not getting it, AS
proof, every woman in the State of
Georgia wanted the age of consent bill
passed, and nearly every woman in The
State wanted the textile and the child
labor bills.
Their wishes We're shown to be alb
solutely outside of the case. One
member even said of certain meas
ure: Why who wants this in Georgia?
Nobody but the preachers and the
women!
Women in Georgia are growing a
little tired of hearing about their in
fluence' as being all powerful and find
ing it, upon the test, to be absolutely
nothing. And talk of 'chivalry' be-
comes a shade nauseous in a State
whose Legislature can refuse pro-
tection to baby girls. Many Southern
women don't want to vote because they
fear thereby to lose that beautiful
chivalrous protection of the Southern
men.
"It is little jarring to this view
to find THAT seventy Georgia men, rep
resentatives of the other Georgia men,
could actually deposit votes refusing
to raise the age at which little girls
may consent to their ruin from 10 to
12 years. 1t makes us feel that the
brand of chivalry we are sacrificing
everything to retain, isn't what it's
cracked up to be-
