President Discusses Matters of Leg
islation for Regular Session
with Senators.
The SUBJECT OF CUBAN
RECIPROCITY is BROUGHT UP
No Legislation Regarding New Re-
public of Panama Necessary, Al
though President May he Author
lied to Conduct Canal Negotiations
with Country. ESs

Washington, Nov. "A conference
to review the work to. be done at the
extra session of congress and discuss
matters of legislation during the reg
ular session was held at the white house
Saturday between President Roosevelt
and Senators Allison, of Iowa; Aldrich,
of Rhode Island; Cullom, of Illinois;
Plat, of Connecticut; Hale, of Maine,
and Spooner, of Wisconsin. The confer
ence lasted over an hour, but it was
stated by the senators on leaving the
white house that the exact form of leg
islation to put Cuban reciprocity into
effect had not been decided upon.
In view of the prompt action of the
administration in recognizing the new
republic of Panama, it was stated that
no legislation on that subject would be
absolutely necessary, although it might
be desirable to give the president au-
'thorization to conduct canal negotia-
tions with the new republic. An in
dorsement by congress of the pres
idents action in recognizing the re-
public of Panama may take the form of
providing diplomatic agents for the new
republic.
The question of financial legislation
was discussed, but no conclusion look
ing to a change of the general under
standing that no general financial legis-
lation will be undertaken at the called
session was reached.

A New Industry.

A new industry, which opens new
market for tamarack, a variety OF
wood that is common in Northern Min
nesota, and heretofore little in demand,
is being established in that section.
The timber is being sought for ship
knees for use in the construction OF
wooden vessels at the Atlantic coast
shipyards 1t is said that the only
supply of timber, oak and tamarack,
has heretofore been procured entirely
in Maine, but that the supply there
has nearly become exhausted and the
prices are very high. Northern Min
nesota has vast amount of tamarack
and it is cheap.
Three camps for the getting out OF
tamarack ship knees have been estab-
lished in the vicinity of Columbia sta
ton on the Duluth, Missabe s. North
ern road, sixty miles north of Duluth,
and the product will be shipped to
Bath, Me-, all rail. Select ship knees
at the Bath shipyards are worth 81 to
50 each. A tamarack tree twelve or
more inches in diameter is selected. 1t
is cut off from four to five feet above
the ground, and the main root, always
running at right angles to the stump,
is cut off at about the same distance,
forming an 81" shaped timber. The
pieces must measure at least twelve
inches in diameter.
About 1000 of these knees are re-
CURED in large wooden vessel. The
elasticity, as well as strength and true
angle, count in the value of the ship
knees. About $50 of the knees make a
car load.

A Dual Life.

A strange case of dual life was re-
vealed in the Minneapolis police court.
Timothy hammers, or Mr.. Simpson; as
he is known outside of business hours,
was sent to the workhouse for thirty
days as result of the revelation.
A detective had been watching the
man for some time In the role of Lam
mers, crippled beggar, he was well
known. Once in his room, however,
he dropped the role, and would emerge
an hour later respondent in fine linen,
diamonds and patent leather shoes.
He was also well known in the down.
town cafes as Mr.. Simpson, where he
spent the money he collected by beg
ging.
On the street he was dirty, his face
was wrinkled and, his body bent. He
used a crutch, around which one leg
was twined to Indicate a serious de-

Personal Opinions.

A. z. Mitchell. Trrde in Canon Citv
is not half rs bad as many people un-
familiar with business conditions would
infer in view Of the strike in the Ar
kansas valley coal fields. In fact, it is
better here than in most Of the towns
of Colorado. I do not think the peo-
p e Of Canon City have much reason to
com plain on the score Of dull trade.
L r. Boyle. Diamonds have been
rapidly advancing in price OF late,
there having been a ten per cent in
crease in the value of first-class stones
within the last six months and they are
still going up owing to the control Of
the South African output by the Lon
don dealers. Since April. 1903, there
hrs been an advance Of over twenty
liars carat on diamonds and the
end is not yet in sight The De Beers
Diamond Mining company at Kimber-
ley, South Africa, is the absolute
master Of the diamond market OF the
world.
