THE FOREST RESERVE BILL.

On the 18th of December the Engi- neering Society of the Carolinas called a special meeting for the consideration of the Appalachian White Mountain re- serve bill. A committee was appointed to draw up petition and obtain there for signatures of men representative of the commercial and industrial life of that section of the Southland so vii tally affected by the issues.
 Resolutions were also adopted by the Bociety as a body. At a meeting held February Il the matter was again brought up for discussion. To those who have given thorough study to the problem, who have at heart the well fare of this section and the breadth to realize fully the economic necessity for the passage of this bill, it will be ap- parent that opinions as to the conduct of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon must have been expressed with considerable warmth.
 This bill has passed the United States Senate without dissent. It has been unanimously reported to the House of Representatives from the Committee on Agriculture, and its passage has re- peatedly been urged by the President in messages to Congress. Should it come before the House there is little doubt but that it will be made law, and yet there is the obstacle of the presentation. It should be demanded by the people through their Represent atives in Congress that Speaker Cam non permit the presentation of the bill.

One Good Papers Views About Another.

Elba Clipper.
 This newspaper can not help being amused at the idea of The Enterprise Ledger's correspondent that The Clip per could influence The Montgomery Advertisers utterances. We would feel fattered if the idea were not so as- shine. Once upon a time the lamented Bill benson said in a speech at Elba that well known Pike Countian had rather see his name printed In ntg type in The Montgomery Advertiser than to see il written in golden letters in the Lambs Book of Lire Eternal. We don't go quite that far in our good opinion of The Advertiser. but we frankly ad- init that we'd feel pretty shifty if We thought we were able to influence The Advertisers editorial utterances, or hoOdwink the brilliant young men who ho her reportorial work Into looking through our glasses. But how small we'd feel were the attempt made! The Ledger ought. it seems to us, to have told it's correspondent how absurd it was to imagine that big daily paper can be made q tool by any one, even by the editor of this paner.

Why Exempt Them.

 The bill that has passed the Senate eXempting the cotton mills from taxa tien for a certain length of time will hardly appeal to the masses of the peo- pie uf the State as being necessary or wise. The development Of the State Is proceeding too rapidly and the advan- tages offered within it's borders for cot ton mills and manufacturing enter prises of all kind are becoming too we'll known to require such liberality upon the part of the State. IT the present Legislature will look into the reasons for many of it's actions il will find that they are based upon the idea that the railroads have taken undue advantage of the opportunities offered them when

The most monumental joke in con nection with the Shoot affair was the burst of indignation from the people of Pittsburg, Pa, because Senator Knox made a speech in favor of the Utah Senator retaining his seat. To see that city trying to don the robe of saintly purity is just about the limit And another funny thing about it was that when the Pittsburgers found that Roosevelt endorsed Knox they at once came down off the perch.

The police department is looking
for a man giving the name of c. W.

Riverside barn Tuesday and took it
to the Idaho feed yard, where loan
of $40 on the animal was secured.
The man was a stranger to the

COAL PRICES
Due TO DROP
PUBLIC FUEL MARKET ASSOCIA-
TON HAS PRICKED THE
TRUST BUBBLE AND PRICES
MUST GO DOWN

SEATTLE, Dec. 2s.-M. J..
Wightman of the Public Fuel Mar
ket association has for the past four
days, says the Times. been conduct
ing quiet investigation of the coal
situation and from information
gathered by him has come to the
conclusion that Seattle fuel middle
men are overstocked with coal and
that prices are as high as they are.
simply because of the get-rich quick
habits OF the middlemen acquired
during the past year.
Wrightman said:
81 believe that from now on the
lprice of coal will gradually go down.
The coal men have come to a reali-
cation that they can no longer fool
all of the public as to the real status
! of affairs and that their little day
of forcing the people to believe that
there is fuel shortage is over.
! Prices in Seattle today could &C
down 81 ton and still leave big
margin of profit to the fuel men
There is plenty of coal in the city
The production of coal right now
from all I can gather, is in excess Of
the demand at the present prohibit
tive prices. The prices must 81
down.

covering them. The alarm was
sounded at once, and the entire force
placed on the work of removing the

RATE WAR FOR
EASTERN ROAD
ERIE HAS CANCELLED ALL EAST
BOUND TARIFFS AND WILL
OPEN INDEPENDENT RATE
OVER ITS LINES

CHICAGO, Dec. 26. - Eastern
roads are on the verge of what prom
ises to be a disastrous passenger
rate war. Yesterday the Erie gave
notice of cancellation of all of its
eastbound passenger tariffs shown
in the Chicago rate sheet. Notice
was also given by that road that
February 1, 1908, it will no longer
abide by the differential arbitration
award of President Lucius Tuttle Of
the Boston and Maine, whereby the
Michigan Central road was accorded
rate of $40 between Chicago and
New York.
It is expected that when the in
dependent Erie tariff to be known
as Erie tariff No. 1 is made public
the first class rate to New York and
all points east of Chicago will have
suffered a material reduction. Dis
satisfaction over the Michigan Cen
! trail award and over the failure of
the lines to keep the agreement not
to pay steamship commissions, are
said to be the causes of the Erie's
action.
Since November 20, when the
Fries $40 second class rate to New
York went into effect, $4,000 steam
ship passengers have been carried
east and of these, the Erie has car
ried about 1900.
