Canada Is ReadyAre We?

Th e j Ourna II 8 Ottawa correspond
ent reports that John Charlton's reci-
procity speech in the Canadian house OF
commons this week was made at the ex-
press request Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as
an offset to Israel Tarte's high protec-
tion speech. This fact demonstrates be-
yond question that the present liberal gov
ernment Of Canada Notwithstanding the
tendencies operating to drive it to an
other position, still stands firm for freer
trade relations with the United States.
It is supremely important that our
government should take up the reciprocity
negotiations with a. determination to ac-
complish something while the government
at Ottawa is friendly. Indifference on the
part Of the United States now may drive
even Sir Wilfrid Laurier s. government into
a retaliatory tariff policy, and if the con-
|servatives should come into power reci-
procity would be hopeless because the
Canadian government would be indif-
ferent. = =, @ - - =: = =
At4the present, liberal reciprocity pro-
posals from the United States would have
the cordial support Of the bulk of the
farmers Of eastern Canada, of most of
the Inhabitants of western Canada and
the backing Of the political organization
of the liberal party
AS will be seen from our correspond
ent's dispatch the American vote In west
ern Canada is already something the poll
ticians are beginning to count upon. A
conservative member declared that the
west would one day rule Canada. OF
course it will, and the west will be domi-
mated by men of American origin without
the slightest taint Of that bitterness fol
the United States which distinguishes
certain Canadians. This is a good time
for both the United States and Canada tc
will. Now is the time to begin to pull

| tinent which is ininical to the true in
terests Of every person on either side Of
| the line. z. j.
The republican party is even more
strongly intrenehed in power in the
! United States than the liberal party i:
in Canada. For years and years it ha:
promised reciprocity and has given Us
not one line to- express it in the tariff
schedules. Here is a golden opportunity
to apply that principle of reciprocity which

The Evening Paper.

There is no denying that so per
cent of the important happenings of
the world are first chronicled in the
evening paper and the rapid rise of the
evening paper is owing to the In
creased facilities for gathering and
putting news into print, one Of the
most important of which is. the print
ing press. A few years ago the fast
est press in Minneapolis could only
print few thousand papers an hour,
while now r h o u r n a l has in it's

COLORADO SHELTER
WILL NOT CLOSE
SHUTDOWN OF THE GAGNON MINE
DOES NOT AFFECT THE
BIG PLANT.

During the temporary shut down OF the
Gagnon mine, which will continue for 10
days, the Colorado smelter, which receives
ore from this shaft, will run as usual
There is plenty OF ore on hand. The
company prepared for the close-down by
filling the ore bins at the smeter.
The object Of the shutdown is to give
the timbermen an opportunity to replace
the timbers in I2o feet OF the shaft
The Gagnon employs 388 men. OF
these about so will be cmplo -ed during
the suspension of ore raising. The TIM
Der crew numbers about 90, and rs top
men will have work, making necessary re
pairs.
With the closing of the Gagnon, there
are about 3Ioo miners out of employment
in Butte. The mines that furnish ore for
the Washoe smcltcr at Anaconda employed
in the neighborhood of 28oo. These will
be idle for six weeks.
The loss in wages to the men during the
closing down OF the mines will be $43I,-
600.
The mines which have suspended oper-
ations for a time are 10 of the heaviest
ore producers in the city. Much repair
and development work will be done in the
next few weeks.
The Parrot shaft, now 1900 feet deep,
will be sunk to the a,ooo-foot level Re-
timbering will be done at the Diamond.
Anaconda is considerable more fortunate
than Butte. While the Washoe smelter is
closed 300 men will find employment on
the big fue and at the plant. A total of
I,soo men will be idle at Anaconda.

TO CONSOLIDATE
LIGHTING PLANTS
SAN FRANCISCO COMPANIES TO
FORM BIG SYNDlCATE-LAST
OBSTACLE is REMOVED.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

San Francisco, July 2.--The deal for
consolidating the principal local lighting
plants, which has been in the air for the
past two months, has at last been ac-
complished, although there are still minor
details to be adjusted.
The purchase for 10000 900 from Claus
Spreckles Of the properties Of the indie
pendent Gas, Electric and Power com
pany by the syndicate forming the com
bine, has removed the last obstacle to the
consolidation Of old companies in this
field
A prominent broker said today that Mr..
Spreckles by selling out had cleared over
$4,000 900 over his original investment,
besides having made it pay during the
short time his plant has been in existence.
!. w. Hellman, the wel-known banker,
having chiefly been instrumental in bring
ing the gigantic deal to successful is
sue.
In IL. early stages Of the movement
Mr.. Spreckles demanded $7,ooo,oo in
gold coin for his works. But after having
been lowered to 10000, 900, Mr.. Spreckles
mas ceaXed his laying pipes in the best resi-
dence districts of the city.
In addition to the purchase price named,
it IS understood that Mr.. Spreckles will
be reimbursed for the cost OF the better
ments he has made since the negotiations
were begun.

BETTER FEELING
IN IRON TRADE
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK IN THE WEST
INSPIRES GENERAL CON-
FlDENCE.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 2.-The iron
Trade Review, discussing market con-
ditions in its current issue, says:
There is better feeling in the iron
trade, though without any change in the
week in the volume Of business placed.
The rail contracts of last week. the adj
ditional business done by western roads
in the past week and the pending inquiries
for rails, amount to about 100000 tons of
standard rails and standard sections hav-
ing inspired confidence in the continued
demand for that source on a liberal scale
for another year
Some Improvement in the prospects for
crops, as contained in reports of import
ant granger roads has also helped to make
sentiment in the iron trade.
Consumption continues heavy. The im-
portant change that has come over the
market is that buyers are relieved of the
necessity of looking SO far ahead in ar
ranging for supplies.
So far as foundry pig iron is concerned,
the situation is not changed, except for
some further settling in prices.
Buyers and sellers alike are hunting for
level on which business can be done
freely, but have not found it and may not
for some weeks.
