GERMAN TREATY BASIS.
Sternburg to Present Germany's Trade
Proposals to President.

Washington. Nov. 3.-Baron Speck Won
Sternburg the German ambassador to the
nitnd States, who sailed for New York.
October o.. from Bremen. on the North
German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm
IT, will on his arrival ut Washington this
week submit to President Roosevelt the
proposals of the German government for
new trade agreement between the
United States and Germany. The am
tassador takes with him full knowledge
of the German governments position, and
is prepared to negotiate.
Prince Won Ruelow in an interview said:
"An idea / suspect is abroad in Amcri-
ca that the changes in the German tariff
and the modifying agreement with other
European countries were in some way di-
rected against the United States. and that
Germany desired to damage the trade Of
the United States. This. | am glad to say
was never a motive with the German gov
eminent and the proposals that are about
to be made are designed to increase the
exchanges between the two countries, and
not to contract them. The facilities for
transportation between Germany and the
United States are destroying their local
ity, and by the operation of forces beyond
the control of each Of them are bringing
the two peoples into greater identity of
economic interests. Each country has
special aptitudes and products Of which
the other may avail Itself. and yet main
tain the revenue and protective systems
adjusted to its individual situation.
Germany is as little inclined to shape
it's commercial policy according to rigid
dogfal as the United States. We desire to
promote the interests of cur country and
act in consideration of its economic needs.
The old tariff of 1879 with the amend
men.s added to it ir the course OF time,
no longer corresponds. in view of the de-
velupment Of Germanys economic life,
with our interests. GermanyS agricul-
ture in particular suffered in consequence
of the treaties of the 90S whose chief
purpose was to win foreign markets. For
this reason special Alteration was gwen Ia
German agriculture il the new tariffs.
That this aim is not hostile to the com
mercial treaties and can b.- rrcOnciied
with the spirit of cOnsidt ration for the
interests of other countries We have al
ready proved by the negotiation of Il
series of new commercial conventions.
With the United States, too, We can live
upon a friendly footing in trade relations;
and extend our system OF exchanges to
the advantage of both countries Such is

South and abroad to Europe in order

as Holyoke. Massachusetts is remote
from us market as compared with
the paper producing towns of the
Mldole Atlantic and Western states
ana must depend upon low through
1ftight rates to allow it to compete
with these more fortunate rivals in
the lar distant markets. On the other
hand, Holyoke is a standard example
OF what the railroads, if not interfered
with. can do for town by the estab-
llshinent OF low rates on its chief prod
uct. iolyoke is the only large sized
city in the country which depends for
its existence upon the manufacture of
paper, and it provides by far the lars-
est annual tonnage of paper of any
one town in the world, its yearly
product being worth nearly ten mil
hon dollars. Were railroad rates in
the United States regulated on mile
age basis as they are in Europe. and
as the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion wishes to regulate them here this
vast interest would be wiped off the
map as completely as if it had never
existed. Yet it would merely be going
the way of the whole New England
paper industry under such circum-
stances. catastrophe meaning loss
of work by 10000 wage earners who
now receive SS.400,O00 year, and the
of wealth amounting to
fifty millions annually.
Just which of the industrial adyan-
tages enjoyed by the paper industry
Of New England is the most important
to its welfare. whether the abundance
Of excellent water power, or the miles
and miles of spruce forests, or the
specially low freight rates, it is very
difficult to say. but it is a safe con-
lecture that should any Of these three
be lost. the industry would be ruined
and with it would go very large bit
Of the prosperity of new England. The
water power and the spruce forests
depend for preservation largely upon
the paper companies themselves. and
they are taking every precaution
known to the science of forestry to pre-
serve these natural sources Of wealth.
At present the freight rates are safely
IN the hands of the railroads whose
interests are directly dependent upon
he welfare of New England |
and therefore impart, upon the
of paper. But the
hanger which looms up before this in

freight rates be given into the hands |

ignorance of local conditions, as well |

principle. would deprive this part of |

Big Season at Bangor Boom.

TIL" 18th and last steam mill drive
OF the season is now running into Ban
Sor boom, and il is expected that the
logs VIII all have been RATED to the
mills by Nov. 10. William Corners.
who mas been rafting contractor at the
boom for AZ years, says that with the
exception of 1904, when S2,0OO,0OO feet
We're RATED this seasons work will be
the greatest on record. the drive now
being handled making n total of about
S0O0C,OC0 feet to pass through the boom
in 1905.
In former years. the rafting ran all
the way from J0000.000 to 100000
feet. alil a crew of IS men were en-
ployad. but lattery a greater proper
ton Of The Penobscot logs has been
sawed at and below Bangor, i'm the
mills on tideWatcr, and less in the up
river mills. The mill of the Eastern
Mfg Co. at South Erewer, which has
been running day and night all the sea-
son. will have this year the great test
output Of any mill in the history of
the PenObscot river-abOut $4,000. 600
feet
The boom crew now numbers 100
men. 80 extra men having been en-
pioyed recently on account of the diff
ficUlty in getting the drives from Old
Town to Bangor resulting from ex-
treDlely low water in the river. Mr.
Corners says that the Penobscot has
not been 50 low before in % years. No
rain OF any account has fallen in many
weeks.
The stock of logs to be carried over
for spring saving on the Penobscot
will be the smallest in many years.
There is only about 100000 feet to be
wiEtercd above Old Town, whereas last
| season 100000 feet was wintered.
| and there will be a very few logs left
| at the mills here when the saving sea
| son shall have closed. About 100000
| feet of the East branch drive. nung up
this fall can be brought down in the
spring, and this will be the principal
supply available before the arrival of
the early drives of new logs. Seldom
in the history of the river has the log
supply been so nearly sawed up at the
close of the season, and there will be
| no manufactured lumber left over. the
mills having difficulty in filling orders.
