FORESTRY BILL
TO cheaper PAPER
Tawney Amendment Helps Indus
try by Permitting Alaskan
Pulp Exports.

Washington, Dec. l3.-As result of
an amendment incorporated in the for
estry bill, which was considered and
passed today, a provision was made
which it is believed will tend materially
to encourage the wood pulp industry of
the United States and thereby to pro-
mote a reduction in the price Of print
paper.
The amendment was offered by Con-
gresham Tawney and it proposes to an
null the present statute which forbids
the expectation from Alaska of wood
pulp or pulp wood. It is claimed that
thousands Of acres of the finest spruce
in the country exist in the Alexander
archipelago of southern Alaska. Under
an old law the expectation of such tim
Der or the products Of it from Alaska
was forbidden.
When the bill for the transfer of the
forestry affairs of the country from the
interior department to the agricultural
| department, as recommended by the
president, came UP today, Mr.. Tawney
secured the incorporation of an amend
ment which will open up the vast Alas
ka spruce field to the manufacture of
wood pulp for the markets Of the United
States.

CLEARING.
FOR IMMIGRATION
Sargent Has a Plan for Wider
Distribution of Alien
Influx.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Frank P. Sar-
gent, commissioner general Of immigra-
ton, today outlined his views regarding
the distribution Of immigrants thruout
the United States. He proposes, if con-
gress will give him the power, to estab-
lish at: the Ellis island bureau which
will give authentic information regard
ing possibilities of employment in all
parts of the country. :. 49,.
Information will be collected at the
bureau, not only concerning all sorts Of
employment which immigrants are like
ly to want, but also as to the cost Of
land in the various states, where it is
located and what are it's products.
Plan Affects States.
It is proposed to ask the various
states to make displays, and if possible
to have officers to supply the immi-
grants, under the direction of the
United States authorities, such detailed
information as is required.
The commissioner proposes to break UP
colonies that are forming in New York
and other large cities. He said the
colonies as being instituted at present
are un-American in principle and dan
gerous in practice, whereas if the immi-
grants could be distributed more evenly
thru the country and given reasonable
employment their residence in this coun-
try might be beneficial to the entire
| community.
TO Be Fair.
He said the plan should be under the
supervision of the national government
in order to insure impartiality and strict
fairness in dealing with the immigrants.
lie does not approve of advertising in
| Europe for immigrants to come to this
country.
The flood of immigration, he says, is
now heavy enough, the problem being
how properly to distribute the immi-
grants to all parts of the United States.

HIGH PRAISE FOR
CAPITOL PAINTING
New York Tribune Describes Art
Work for Minnesota s New
Building.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The New York
Tribune has an interesting, criticism Of
painting which Kenyon Cox has made
for the new capitol at st. Paul. This
painting has been exhibited in the Cox
studio and has attracted much atten-
ton. A kind Of exedra runs from end
to end of Mr.. Cox's lunette, and in the
center of this winged figure, seated,
embodies the contemplate genius Of the
east. She is raised somewhat above
the level of two other figures in the
scheme, one Of which symbolizes letters
and the other law. BY way Of criticism
the Tribune says:
The design is weighty and austere.
Here again we see the virtue of emitting
these odds and ends which may on occo-
sion be Of service, in so far as they arc
emblematical Of one thing or another, but
are far more likely to tease tho eye with
sense of meretricious expedients. The
figure under contemplation is heroic in
form and majestic in pose. It touches us
solely es a figure, it needs nothing to
make its effect beyond the loftiness of it's
regard and the solemntty which shows as
| it might show in the garb of some high
! priestess. In the folds of the heavy blue
| drapery, the cloak is arranged over the
head and shoulders. The wings of the
goddess, by the way, form the one unsat-
isfactory episode in the composition
Neither in color nor in modelling do they
strike quite the right note, they assert
themselves unduly, and have, oddly
enough, a heaviness evident nowhere
else The figure Of letters in wine-red
draperies, is seated holding an open book
Law. in draperies Of similar hue, bears 6
golden scepter and a bride typifying re.
straint. Tablets, uninscribed, lean neal
at hand.
The exedra is tawny in color; above Il
at each end, a little foliage is Indicated
the rest Of the background is filled will
the blue of the sky, accented by f1eec,
clouds. The result is a brilliant, powerful
chord, struck with an authority that i
perhaps the most salient factor in tni
artists success. Mr.. Cox knows what h
is about. He has devised a sound piec
of constructive design, he has expresse,
definite ideas in it, with admirable poin
and has filled his architectural space, il
short, with the precision and felicity O
an instructive decorative artist.

D0XOL0GY IS STILL
SUNG AT CHICAGO "U''

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The statement
that the doxology had been displaced
at the University of Chicago, and that
instead of 'Old Hundred,' "Almaa
Mater' would be sung at the close Of
the Junior college chapel service, was
a mistake. The Doxology never was
sung at the close of the service, but
at the beginning, where it continues to
be sung. The "Alma Mater,' which
has been substituted for a concluding
hymn, has itself the charact eristics Of
a hymn-dignity and elevation Of SEN
time9t but it does nc not disPdaee tine the
of the exercises.

F0G'S PAIL SHR0UDS
CHICAGO LIKE NIGHT

Chicago, Dec. ia heavy fog Of
inky blackness enshrouded Chicago to-
day, causing confusion among pedess-
TRANS, and seriously interfering with
street cars and teams. The fog moved
slowly from south to north. Numerous
accidents were reported.
Occupants of several elevated trains
stopped by the derailing of car were
forced to escape on foot along the
structure in the darkness to the near
est station.
Total absence Of wind coincident
with a combination of smoke and snow
in the fog, was the cause of the extra:
ordinary darkness. The duration Of
the phenomenon was nearly two hours.

Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 13.-The chief
interest of the week has been the get
ting out of wheat at lake terminals and
altho complete figures are not to hand,
something over two million bushels have
gone east this week, a considerable
Quantity in American Bottoms. One
or two boats will load as late as~Mon-
day, the 18th. The weather is mild and
as the government is keeping open the
lighthouses and has sent up an ice
breaker, navigation may yet be open for
some time.
Shipments of wheat are beginning to
shrink a little to lake terminals, but
are increasing in moderate way to the
south. It is claimed that about two
hundred cars have crossed the boundary
this week for Minneapolis.
At present writing over fortytwo mil
lion bushels of the crop Of 1904 have
been accounted for as follows:
Bushels.
Passeq inspection ors 9o0 0S0
Required for seed for i905 ......... 1925, 900
Total 42,475,OOO
The requirements for seed are based
on an increase Of 10 per cent in the
acreage in Manitoba and 20 per cent
in the territories. The requirements Tor
flour are based on five bushels per head
of the population of 100000. All these
figures are considered conservative.
The milling capacity of the Canadian
west is now 1880 barrels per day
there being sixty one mills in Manitoba
and thirty-one in the Northwest Terri
tories and the 5000 barrel mill at the
Lake of the Woods Milling company
which is situated $50 miles east OF
Winnipeg, in the province of Manitoba
but grinds only western wheat. The
milling companies have all been heavy
buyers of the higher grades of wheat
this season and there is little doubt thai
the entire milling system will run fully
300 days out of 365 as the local demand
is heavy and increasing and there il
good export trade westward to the Pa
cific for low grade -four.
i The market of the week has been
dull one, and has responded readily t,
!, the declines Of the American markets
but the general feeling is that thing
have worked pretty near the bottom an
altho no great increase Of activity j
expected this side Of the new year, fait
in very high prices for the spring is ur
, shaken. The estimate of leading bank
ing concerns, and others who are we
posted, of the value of the crop Of 100
| to the farmer, is an average Of 80 cent
, per bushel, this on total yield Of So
, 100000 bushels will mean a value to tn
T farmers of the west of $44 100000.
