at seems to me that when our
tariff was gotten out that mistake
was made that the trainers of our tariff
should have said: Fir lumber shall
bear a certain rate" and should have
said, "the lumbers of the Pacific
Coast shall bear a certain rate, pro.
vided only they can load to the same
minimum, and there is no greater
weight or loss in case of loss over the
the average of one car than the other,
then it would seem to me that it was
but fair and right they should receive
the same rate to the East, and if the
railroads Of the country would extend
to the spruce interests OF the West the
same freight rate to the Missouri river
points that they extend to fir, we would
find for our low grade products a mar
ket that would justify US in the man.
ufacture of our higher grades.
"And while speaking of spruce,
gentlemen, wish to mention another
material but little thought of and lit.
tie considered here in the West that
has almost the same qualifications as
the spruce for many purposes, and
that is our hemlock. Their are vast
areas of it on the Olympic peninsula
shown on that map. There are one
hundred and twenty townships which
are very largely timbered with hem
lock. Much of it is equal both in
quality and size to our fir, but it
yields less per cent. of clear and con.
sequently the markets have not yet
accepted the product. it has no place |;
therefore it is left standing in the
woods as our fir and our cedar and
our spruce are cut from among it, and
left there to decay and blow down and
become q menace to the rest of our
forests, for it produces fire traps where
conflagrations can start and receive
Roadway that is sufficient to carry
those flames through the surrounding
green timber. It is then necessary for
the wealth Of the country, for the
use of this great product
that nature has given us, not to abuse,
not to slaughter, but to use and use
economically and pass down to poster
ity.
1T is necessary l say. that we have
q freight rate that shall allow the dis.
position of spruce and hemlock boxes
in Missouri river and Mississippi river
points. It is~to be hoped that the
day will come when our railroads
shall possess such. trackage and such
facilities that they will
be seeking business instead OF We So
liciting them to haul our product. It
is 70 be hoped that the day will come
when they will do away With the old
adage, "per ton per mile haul" and
consider that they have fixed invest
ment, with fixed charges in their road
bed and their depots and their rolling
stock, and that any additional traffic
they may take on with low grade ma.
terials that cannot be marketed other
than by low freights, may be con-
sidered from the standard of the &C.
tual cost Of haul. the rolling stock
that they use and the margin of profit
that shall justify the freight. When.
ever that comes, gentlemen, if it does.
and come it must, the products of our
forests, the low grades OF our fir, of
our spruce and our hemlock will find
. market in the east, and the lumber.
men OF the Coast will not, as to-day.
be wondering what they are to do
with their low grade material.

CANAL TREATY Not DEAD.

style, little more information relative to
the status of the Canal treaty Minister
BeauprA, after making a mere mention OF
the Senate's adverse vote on the original

which was at first accepted as rejecting
the treaty, was nothing more than formal
vote on the question, -Shall the treaty as
transmitted by the President be ratified"
As the committee had reported, or was
about to report seven amendments, the
Senate quite naturally voted not to ratify
the treaty unamended. Then the proposed
amendments were taken up, and are now
being considered.
According to the information obtain

SECY HITCHCOCK DEFENDED.
All Money Derived From Sale OF Town
sites Said 10 BE Accounted For.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.--An authorita-
tive denial was secured to-day to a re-
port that President Roosevelt had assumed
personal direction of the investigation
Of the alleged land frauds in the Indian
Territory. AS a matter Of fact, President
Roosevelt, referred several months ago,
all papers in the case which had been sent
to him from time to time by persons in
the Territory and others interested to
the Interior Department for investigation
and action.
The charges alleged to have been made
to President Roosevelt that the large sum
Of money-aggregating over s7OO,0 600
which was derived from the sale of town
sites in Oklahama, instead Of being ex-
pended for public improvements In such
towns, had been deposited In the Union
Trust Company Of St. Louis In which Sec
rotary Of the Interior Hitchcock was said
to be Interested, are false. as the records
Of the Interior and Treasury departments
show that every dollar realized from such
sales was deposited In the United States
Sub-Treasury In st. Louis, where It has
remained ever since.
In regard to the statement that public
improvements ordered by Congress, and
for which the money was available, had
not been made because OF the attitude
Of Secretary Hitchcock, it was learned
that so much fraud and corruption had
been found to exist in the original award
of contracts made by the boards Of town
commissions of Lawton, Anadarko and
Hobart that Secretary Hitchcock long ago
found it necessary to cancel such con-
tracts and order rigid investigation. which
is still in progress.
OYSTER BAY, Aug. 20. - The report
that serious charges have been made
to the President against Secretary Hitch
cock on matters connected with the
handling Of funds from the sales of Indian
lands in Oklahoma is discredited here.
The President, it il said, has the greatest
confidence in Mr., Hitchcock, and noinvesti-
cation into affairs in his Department has
ever been considered

child from his home. although his wife was

BATTERED BY TIE HURRICANE.
Damaged Vessel Reaches Baltimore
Brought 400 ~ etiOrrs Along.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 2O.--The steamer Sal
vatore di Giorgio arrived in port this morn
ing with her bow twisted several plates
on her port side bent and a ifeboat
shattered. She encountered the hurricane
on Aug. IL while twenty-five miles from
shore on the west coast of Jamaica. When
the wind first began TO roar the Di Giorgio
was lying inshore getting ready to take
on a cargo Of bananas. About one hun
dred negro stevedores were on the ves-
sci to assist with the work.
Capt Biering, master of the vessel was
afraid Of the breakers and under reduced
pressure he ran his vessel far out into the
ocean. This was early in the morning.
The hi Giorgio rode the waves well until
one immense sea dashed over the steamer
The vessel seemed to be lifted out of the
water. The negro stevedores flung them
selves fiat on the deck. 1t was this wave
that damaged the steamer, and in addition
flooded every part of the vessel, Tho
fire in the engine room was extinguished.
In little while the hi Giorgio was again
under way. When the lighthouse near
this port was sighted the negroes joined
in chorus Of thanksgiving for their escape.
They had been greatly terrified.

MISS BROWN WORE EV.ANsS RING
The Canada Lake Tragedy May Have Been
n Double Suicide.

UTICA, ". Y, Aug. 20 Around the neck
of Florence Brown of New York, whose
body was found this morning in Canada
Lake, ten days after her disappearance,
was ribbon. TO which was attached dia-
mond ring, valued at $500, which is the
property of Mrs. Mary B. Evans, the mother
Of George II. Evans, the young Harvard
man who was drowned with the girl and
whose body was recovered on Monday.
The finding of the ring around Miss
Browns neck lends a new theory to ac-
count for the death Of the girl and Evans.
1t Is now suggest ed by many that the couple
committed suicide and that the girl, before
plunging into the lake, tied the ring, which
had apparently been presented TO her by
Evans, around her neck.
Evans was engaged to marry Miss Edith
Werthe of Pittsburg, who arrived at Canada
Lake a few hours after Evans and Miss
Brown started away in a rowboat. The
fact that Evans was engaged TO marry
Miss Wcrthe is looked upon as possible
reason why he ard Miss Brown desired to
die toGet her.
