His contract for paper at that time, he
said, was sl.34 per hundred pounds at

from September. 1897, to September,
1898.
Unable to Renew Contract.
When the contract expired he was
unable TO renew it at that price. The
best figure he could get in making
new contract was $1.S5 at the mill On
that and preceding contracts he had
heen allowed 3 per cent discount for
cash. but during the last five years the
prices have been net. Mr.. MacLennan

rectness. According to them, the sell
ing price of news paper in 1897 was
1874. Mr.. MacLennan said that in that
year he was paying S1.34 at the mill.
The figures referred to showed that in
1907 the selling price was s2.15. In that
year, said the witness, there was a
great tiuctuation i'm the price of paper
In the early portion he bought paper

was Republican i'm politics. and he
thought the passage of the Stevens
