USE AMERICAN GOODS.
American Agent Finds Canadians Buy
Largely From Us

Special Agent Charles NJ. Pepper, of
the department of commerce and la
bor is Just back from a tour through
the Canadian northwest.
Just now" he says, "the Canadians
are attempting to prevent the natural
flow of traffic from the Canadian
northwest southwark across the bor-
der into and through the states.
"A movement is under way" he
says, ito secure a duty on American
rough lumber imported into Canada
equal to that laid by the United States
on Canadian lumber imported into
this country; that is, 50 per thousand.
If this fails, the aim is to obtain a
tariff impost of some kind so that the
lumber shipments from Washington
and Oregon may be brought within
the provisions of the anti-dumplng
clause"
With all the opposition to Ameri-
can goods, Mr.. Pepper says every fac
tory is a speaking catalogue of Amer
ican goods. A sawmill in Vancouver,
for Instance draws its supplies as fol-
lows: Steel plates, Washington, Pa.

COUNTERFEIT COINS.
Tacoma Is Flooded With New $500
Gold Pieces

Tacoma is Flooded with counterfeit
IS gold pieces, says Captain B. w.
Bell, of the United States treasury
department in Seattle, says the Seat
tie Star.
Captain Bell stated that he expects
to land the guilty parties within the
next few days. The majority of the
coins were distributed among the sa-
looms, although many were also pass
ed in the mercantile houses.
The principal defect in the coins is
deficiency in weight. The workman
ship is also poor on the "reeding.' .
Captain Bell stated today that the
coins were evidently made from Bah
bit metal, electro plated. With the
exception of the ''reeding" around the
edges, and the tell-tale weight the
coins are a very good counterfeit.
Several like coins have been passed
in this city, but so far reports seem
to indicate that Tacoma has been
the objective point in which the coun-
terfeiters have operated

Walla Walla, Dec. S.-Herbert Nc
Arthur, W. s. Offner and a number
of heavy tax payers interested In good
roads, went before the county COM
missioners this afternoon and made
proposition that they would raise a
fund Of $4,000 toward building another
mile of macadamized road west of the
mile built by the government IL the
county would appropriate $500 to-
ward the enterprise.
The mile Of road built by the gov

cinity favor adding another mile to
the road, providing the county will
stand a share Of the expense. II is
figured that the road can be built at
the. present season of the year for less
than 81 front foot.

Freewater, Ore. Dec. THE city
election passed off quietly in Free
water.
Over so warrants have been sworn
out against citizens of Milton and
Treewater, for having frequented the
First Chance" cigar store. Ed White,
proprietor and for having played
cards there. A fine of SIS and costs
was imposed upon each of the parties.
A number OF those against whom
warrants were issued have circulated
q petition among themselves to raise
money with which to fight the case.
The Grangers of Freewater register
ed a protest against football in the
form of a set of resolutions. At the
last meeting of the Tum-a-lum Grange
Patrons of Husbandry, resolutions
were passed as follows:
whereas, since the beginning of
the school year, the public press has
been reporting the usual grist of IA
talities and injuries from football and
the barbarous practices In hazing OF
underclass men of the various colleges
and universities in the land; and
Whereas. many of these murders
and barbarities are perpetrated in
schools supported by the states and
nation; and
Whereas, to the unsophisticated
mind it does not appear necessary for
q higher or finished education to
raise the morals of our citizenship
that these crimes be permitted any
where:s and
Whereas, many of these institu-
tons of higher education are support
cd by taxing the people, of which we
are part, and 1t is not only our
right, but duty to protest against
this most flagrant outrage to clvili-
.ation and the golden rule with all
eur power.
Therefore be It resolved by Tum-
alum Grange No. 343. Patrons OF
Husbandry. that we most emphatically
condemn the barbarisms and murders
resulting from football and hazing In
too many Of our high schools of learn
ing. and call upon the authorities OF
state and nation to punish this class
Of crimes as promptly and severely
a. is the most degraded tramp for
the commission of like crime upon
person or property.
I'VE further resolve to use all the
Influence we can to prevent our sons
and the sons Of our friendes from
matriculating in those schools whose
management encourage or permits
such harbarous games or practices"

The company is alleged to have ap-
propriated 703 sacks of wheat which
had been stored at it's warehouse at

the streets about $50 o'clock, but
when the prison officials started out
to look for him they could not locate
him. 1t is believed that he has left
