A Town Without Church Bells.

Valdosta is probably the largest
town in the country that has no church
bells. There are nine white churche
in the city, but the tone of the bel is
never heard, because there are no
bells on any of the churches. There
are a dozen or more negro churches
there AND several of them have church
bells, but the white congregations as
semble for worship by the clock rather
than by the ringing of bell.

HAD A NOVEL FEAST.
international Commission Hold
Banquet on Alaska Boun.
dairy Line.

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 81 The
steamer Danube, from the North,
brings news of happy event in con-
nection with the fling of the initial
monument which is to mark the boun-
dairy between Canada and Alaska.
The Danube took the commissioners
representing Canada and the United
States up the Portland canal. They
were Prof. w. f. King, of Ottawa,
head of the Dominion astronomical
survey, and o. II. Tittmann, superin-
tendent of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. The former was ac-
companied by his daughter and the
latter by his wife.
Last Friday the initial mark was
placed in position. The spot was de-
termined by triangulation. 1t is To-
Gated at place known as Eagle point,
near the mouth of the Salmon river,
and the boundary extends due north to
mountain indicated by the boundary
tribunal short distance above the
56th parallel. From there it follows
the tops of very high mountains.
At Eagle point monument was
erected the laying of which was mark
ed with an interesting ceremony. The
monument is four sided magnetic
bronze pyramid, which stands six feet
high and tapers from six inches at the
top to eleven inches at the base. On
the side facing the east is the name
Canada" and on the opposite side the
name Omitted States" The structure
was erected on concrete foundation,
and is expected to last for many CEN
turtles.
After it's erection what will be a
historical event took place. Near the
site of the monument was found an old
wooden building, which had been used
for a dwelling at some time, but which
had long since been abandoned, Here
it was that a jovial party, including
the two boundary commissioners, the
ladies in the company and the officers
of the Danube, gathered after the work
of placing the monument had been
completed. A dinner was spread with
in the old ramshackle place, the table
being set on mark that left it half
within American and half within Ca
madam territory. Some of the menu
bers of the party occupied seats on the
C anadian side and others on the Alas
ka section. Toasts were drunk to King
Edward. President Roosevelt and the
governor general of Canada. The new
line. it is said, gives to Canada, at the
base of the mountain chain in ques-
ton, what promises to be a valuable
mineral property, formerly held to he
in the United States.

DUTY ON STEEL RAILS.
Canada Will Tax Foreign Product
ST Per Ton After Nov. 80.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. ga proc
lamation has been issued by the gov
ernor general in council bringing into
force the act passed in 1908, imposing
duty of 81 per ton on steel rails. The
act was to take effect when satisfac-
tory evidence was furnished to the
government that rails of the best quail
ity were being made in Canada in suffi-
cient quantities to supply the ordinary
demand.
A steel rolling mill is now in sue
cessful operation at Sault Ste. Male,
and in this part the tariff is now in op
Grafton. The duty is subject to deduc-
ton under the British preferential tar
iff. Duty will not bee objected on any
rails actually contracted for abroad
prior to this date, but such rails must
be imported into Canada not later than
November 80, 1904, and must be LAID
in tracks not later than February 49,
1905.

representatives of the state of Washing.
ton and the province of British Column
bla, to the end that uniform legisla-
ton and regulations may be obtained
to provide for the protection of the
nsherles. Such conference, the state
department officials say, would proba-
Oily have for its chief aim the adoption
OF identical rules relating to the tax
ing OF fish and not the establishing of
common hatcheries. The subject of
hatcheries, however, might reasonably
be made matter of conference be-
tween the state and provincial author
tiles, but the sentiment of the Cana
dams seems to he against the project
OF maintaining these hatcheries as a
joint enterprise. 1t is suggested by the
state department officials that any uni.
form rules and regulations which
might be agreed upon for the mainten-
ance of hatcheries by the Americans
and other hatcheries by the Canadians
would prove beneficial.

Portland, Or, Sept. If the nego-

Irish Reform Association Asks for
Small FavOrs.
London, Sept. 1.-The Irish Reform
Association has adopted platform for
the association which, while firmly
maintaining that the parliamentary
union of Great Britain and Ireland is
essential to the political stability of
the empire and the prosperity of the
two islands, expresses the belief that
such union is compatible with the
granting to Ireland OF a larger measure
of self government.
1t considers that such devolution,
while avoiding matters of imperial
concern and subjects of common con-
Germ to the United Kingdom, would be
beneficial to Ireland and would relieve
the imperial parliament of mass Of
business occupying its time to the det-
riment of more important concerns.
The association also considers that
the present financial administration OF
Ireland is wasteful; that it ought to
be revised and that the time has come
to extend to Ireland the system of pri-
vate bill legislation, which has been
so successful in Scotland. II adve-
Gates earnestly higher education and
expresses the desire to do all in its
power to further the policy of land
purchases in the spirit of and on the
general lines laid down by the land
conference report.

either side.
Notwithstanding, however, the Ia

all probability the butchers strike
would be settled amicably before next

the grounds for their belief, but were
positive in their statements that the
