Details of Canadian Forestry Com
ventfon to be Held In Ottawa.
The announcement that Canadian
forestry convention. called by Sir Will
frid Laurier and having the support OF
the Dominion and provincial govern
ments, is to be held in Ottawa on Jan.
10, IL and H. is not only of Importance
to the Canadian people, but to the
United States as well, says special
dispatch from Ottawa to the Chicago
Record-Herald.
The forest wealth Of Canada is one
of the best natural assets of the Unit
ed States, and much American capital
is already interested in its develop
ment. Anything therefore that will
insure permanency to those VINO IN
vest their money N the Canadian lum-
bering industry and other industrial
enterprises which owe their stability
to the initial Influences of the forest
and increase their value must be or
more than passing interest.
Hitherto the products Of the forest
on this continent have been regarded
by most people in similar light as
the products Of the mine. The more
that was taken away the less, as 1T
was usually considered, would be left.
No serious consideration has In the
past been given to reproduction OF for
est wealth, and us result the forests
have been cut or burned with great
prodigality.
The principal divisions in which the
subject will be discussed will include
the national interest in the forest, the
relations of the forest and the lumber,
pulp and other industries Of the coun-
try. forestry in relation to agriculture,
the influence OF the forest on water
power and irrigation and forestry ed
ucation. In Europe the forestry ex-
perts are now looking to Canada as one
of the worlds great sources for the
lumber supply Of the future. The Unit
ed States is referred to as apparently
feeling the pinch of decreasing forest
supplies and is already drawing large
ly on Canada to make up the deficit.
1t is pointed out that at the forest
congress held in Washington in Jam
uary last i was made clear that the
United s Sfs considers the situation
grave one iu so far as that country
is concerned. President Roosevelt eplt-
omized the matter when he stated that
If the present rate Of forest destruction
was allowed to continue, with nothing
to offset it, timber famine was In
evitable.

In the reports OF the Fifth district

which does the Marshall county dele

PIPE OF MANY PEOPLES.
English Ladies' and Indian Lovers
Pinned to Play the Flageolet.

FROM the American inventor.
The fageolet is of peculiar interest to
Americans, as from time immemorial 1t has
been the medium through which the Indian
youths courted their sweethearts at dis
lance, when they were SO unfortunate as to
be unable to gain personal audience.
The love or counting flute OF the Apache
Is made of round stick of cedar about
twenty-four inches long, split lengthwise
and followed to form an air chamber "A
hole is made on each side of this daphra GIN
and a shallow air passage cut from one
hole to the other
Above 1t cap of wood Is placed for the
purpose of covering the upper hole and the
air channel. The lip Is made of a thin
sheet of lead, and the whole hound together
with slender thong. In the tube part
cor body of the instrument are pla ,ed six
finger holes, a condition that points unmis-
takably to- the influence of contact with the
white man. "a
The fiageolet, as ordinarily understood,
may be described as whistie-h headed flute.
In the seventeenth century English ladies'
often played on 1t. Sometimes two or three
fiageolet tubes were constructed with one
head for the purpose of introducing notes
In harmony. THESE wers called double or
triple fiageolets, and a patent was taken
out for this instrument by one cambridge.

mission houses and shorts. There was no
especial news to encourage the bulls but
they were anxious for the grain. July

and advanced to S2aS2h. Good demand for
shorts sent July corn up to AN. July oats
were steady and Gull around 33h July pro-
visions opened strong. pork at 5.75 to 1880,
lard at S.6T1s to $40 and ribs at 9.10a915
The demand was unusually active all day
and the wheat market was exceedingly
strong. The cause of the buying was re-
ports of serious damage in Illinois and
Missouri. The high point for July was
S3&. The close was strong. with July up
1asa11s at S32s. The close on May was PA

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The market showed no more effect OF the
threatened increase In the taxes on public
utility corporations at today's meeting Of
the stock exchange than was the case at
yesterdays meeting Then the offerings OF
the securities of such companies were
rather slight in character. and were in no
sense different from the average day when
a matter of that kind is not pending. The
prices went of somewhat and the same
thing happened today.
1t is quite evident that the motive as
signed by some In the current gossip OF the
street for this legislation that 1t was in
tended to shake out some of the stock Is
either not based on the facts or that 1t has
entirely failed in accomplishing such a pur-
pose.
The view that seems to be held in regard
to the outcome of this matter seems to
have been expressed by one of the brokers
at today's meeting of the exchange. when
he remarked in reference to 1t that per-
haps nothing would be done, and 1t would
not make great difference II something was
done.
At any rate. whatever the attitude In re-
gard to the proposed legislation may be, 1t
is quite evident that the prospect has not
thus far frightened holders In parting with
their securities. and therefore those who
are looking for cheap stock have thus far
been disappointed.
1t Is a curious circumstance In connec-
ton with the bill reported from the Senate
committee that all reference to the So
called cross-town street railway has been
omitted. 1t was in the bill as 1t passed the
House, but Ii has been dropped out and
yet to such an extent has attention been
absorbed in the tax provision. which was
an entire surprise, that this omission,
which otherwise would be looked upon as
very important has been passed over with
out arousing any comment.
1t may be looked upon as the last OF
the cross-town bill, measure which. when
first introduced, set all the street railway
managers by the ears and also aroused the
citizens. Since the withdrawal. of the Old
Dominion railroad from this field In con-
sideration of the traffic arrangements
secured~from the Capital Traction Com
pany, ii has been supposed that the APP
plication of the latter road for this privi-
lege would meet with no opposition.

Few Influences of Novelty.

There were few other Influences of nov
city to be cited in connection with the
course of the stock market. The London
market was generally firm, such disap-
pointment as was felt at the retention of
the Bank of England's discount rate at 4
per cent being offset by the strong show
ing made in the banks weekly statement.
The proportion of reserves to liability rose
to All per cent as against 1.46 per cent
last week, and the bank increased its bull
lion holdings by Hiss. 900. Foreign houses
were buyers here to the extent of about
$4,000 shares
Earnings statements and dividend an
nOuncenents again furnished the only defi-
mite news relating to particular stocks.
Semi-official confirmation of the placing of
the Pennsylvania loan in Paris was OBJ
tanned but the full details of the trans
action were still unavailable. 1t is believed.
however, that the company obtained Its ac-
commodation upon more favorable terms
than the case in their recent local Dor
rowings. Discussion of Pennsylvania rail-
road affairs in general furnished however,
one of the chief topics of the day.
The anthracite coal stocks were again the
most prominent features of today's deal
ings, Reading rising sharply on tremendous
transactions, while Lackawanna advanced
to still another high record. Nothing def
mite In the way of news or gossip accom-
panied the movements in this group of
