degree lower than the record OF

they are thinking of the size of the

The volume of inquiries for June
with US were greater than for like
period any time last fall. Quotations
have been more productive Of bust
ness than for some lime past. While
the advance in price mas only been
confined to portion o. material we
manufacture, still our surplus stocks
have been materially reduced, and
as this appears to be the case with
the majority of mills in the south, we
have no doubt whatever that general
advance in prices VIII take place in
the near future
In the past week or 10 DAYS we
have been offered some rather large
blocks of business at current prices,
which would appear to indicate that

pointmeTit of conservation commissions
on the part Of the nation and a ma
jority of the states,
Z "A second conference has been held
in this city. 1t washcalled to consider
an inventory of our natural resources
prepared by the national conservation
commission. It's most important re-
suits will appear in cooperation on the
part of the nation the states and the
great association of citizens for acton
upon this great question upon Which
the progress of the people of the United
States depends.
1T is evident natural resources are
not limited by the boundary lines
which separate nations and that the
need for conserving them upon this
continent is as wide as the area upon
which they exist.
In view. therefore. of these consid-
eratfons and of the close bonds of
friendship and mutual aims which
exist between Canada and the United
States; I take special pleasure in in
viting you to designate representatives
of the government of Canada to meet
and consult with eSentatiVeS of the
state and other departments Of this
government, and the national conser-
walton commission in the city of Wash
ington on February IS, 1909. The pur-
pose of the conference I have the honor
to propose is to consider mutual inter-
ests involved in the conservation OF
natural resources, and in this great
ity of preparing a general plan adapted
to promote the welfare of the nations
concerned
81 have this day addressed a similar
invitation to the republic Of Mexico, ex-
pressing my hope that representatives
of that government will also be pres
ent and participate in the proposed
conference on the conservation of the
natural resources of North America.
1.-THE conclusions of such a confer
ence while wholly advisory in charac-
ter, could hardly fail to yield impor-
tant beneficial results both in better
knowledge of the natural resources OF
each nation on the part of the others,
and in suggestions for concurrent ac-
ton for the protection of mutual in
terests related to conservation.
LAS my representative to convey to
YOU this letter and invitation and at
your desire to consult with you con-
corning the proposed conference 1 have
selected an officer of this government,
chief of the United States forest ser
vice and chairman of the national con-
servation commission, whom I COM
mend to your kind offices.
sincerely yours,

on Conservation of Resources.

Washington Dec. est is announced
at the White House that a conference
looking toward the conservation of the
natural resources of North America
will be held at the White House Feb
ruary Is next.
Letters suggesting the plan have
been addressed by President Roosevelt
mier of Canada and to President Diaz
of Mexico They will be delivered to
the officials in person by Clifford Pin
chot chairman of the national con-
ServatiOn commission and chief forest
er of the United States.
Mr.. Pinchot will first visit Canada.
He will then carry the invitation to
President Diaz at Mexico City.
The proposed conference is the out
growth of the two conservation confer
ences in which the governors of the
states and territories were the princi-
pal conferees. At the second confer
ence representatives of the Canadian
government expressed their interest in
the movement. Out of this grew the
idea of a North American conference
''to consider mutual interests involved
sources and to deliberate upon the
practicability of preparing general
plan adapted to promote the welfare or
the nations concerned"
The presidents letter to the governor
general of Canada is as follows:
I'm May in the present year the gov
ernors of the several states and terri
tories of this union met in the White
House to confer with the president and
each other concerning the amount and
condition of the natural resources of
this country and to consider the most
effective means for conserving them.

NOW IN CALIFORNIA.

Atchison. Kan, Dec. 2S.-Years ago
there lived in Atchison county a. Catho-
lie priest named John Begley. He was
a good fellow, but had no business in
the priesthood, as he wasn't fitted for
It, and was something of a sport. Short
ly after the Worlds fair, he married,
and was unfrocked by the bishop Then
he disappeared, and nothing has been
heard from him in several years. HIS
niece, who lives at bingham, receiV-
ed a Christmas present from him;
fine gold watch.
John Begley is now hardware mer-
chant at Los Angeles, and is prosper
GUS He has a prime farm near the
city, and rides in his own automobile
The woman he married years ago IS
with him, and they have three chill
dren, who attend a Catholic school.
When John Begley lived in this coun-
~. his leg was broken in runaway:
1t was thought he would be compelled
to retire from the priesthood, being a
cripple and he ran for county clerk
against Charley Krebs, special permls-
sion being granted. Krebs, very pop
u1ar man, beat him. Later, Begley had
his broken leg attended to, and now
gets around without trouble.

New York, Dec. 2S-Planning a

against Jail sentences imposed upon
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, the central federated
union has appointed a committee to
make arrangements and adopted reso-
lutions of which a copy was sent to
President Roosevelt. The executive
committee announced it had sent
telegram to the defendants assuring
them that every legal means would
be utilized to prevent their imprison-
ment. 1t was also decided that action
by any labor union looking to pardon
for the men sentenced should be dis
couraged, the federated union taking
the position that no crime had been
committed and it would not be proper

FOR As ROUNDS.
Kaufman and Barry Scheduled
to Fight in California.
Will Be Held Before the Jeffries
Athletic Club.
FRISCO LAD FAVORITE
Has Defeated Several Good Men
the Past Year.
Barry a Husky Fighter But
Hasn't Required Punch.

Los Angeles, Dec. 2S.-The 45 round
prize fight scheduled to be held before
the Jeffrfes Athletic club at Vernon this
week between Al Kaufman of San
Francisco and Jim Barry of Chicago, is
one of the most important heavyweight
fistic battles to be fought in recent
months because of the likelihood that
the winner will meet Jack johnson, the
colored conqueror of Tommy. Burns, for
the championship of the world. Barry
has already signified his willingness to-
meet Johnson if he is successful in
beating Kaufman but Billy Delaney,
manager for Kaufman. declares that
under no circumstances will he permit
his man to meet negro in the ring.
Delaney declares that if Kaufman fights
Johnson it will be under other manage.
nent than his. Kaufman has nothing
to say, leaving the decision in the mat
ter to his manager.
During the past year Kaufman has
been paving his way to a fight for the
title and has defeated good men. His
first fight of 1908 was in March when he
won from Joe Grim in six rounds. In
July he knocked out Battling Johnson
in seven rounds in Los Angeles. In
August he knocked out Jim Flynn, the
Pueblo fireman, in nine rounds in Los
Angeles. In October he knocked out
Fred Bradley in four rounds in New
York and November 10 he knocked out
Terry Mustain in Los Angeles in IA
rounds.
Many critics have claimed that Kauf-
man did not possess the punch it took
to make him champion. but his record
of knockouts shows that he must have
wallop that he can dish out when it
is necessary. One of the battles which
failed to show his punch according to
his enemies, was with Joe Grim. This
Italian is known as 1.-The human punch
ing bag" and few men have ever knock
ed him out. kaufman outpointed him
so far there was no comparison. but
could not make him take the count. He
trained with Jack Johnson and john
son could never put him away There
is no question but what Kaufman has
a punch and can deliver it.
Barry is one of the men who has al
ways been bidding for the champion
he had a right to claim a fight with a
champion. He is a husky Differ and
can make all of the best of them step
lively. but he is not good enough at the
present time to cop out the title. Barry
began fighting the same year as Kauf-
man did and was the same age. kauf-
man has not been defeated, while Barry
has lost several fights, having lost three
battles to Sam Langford, the negro who
defeated Flynn few nights ago, two of
which were knockouts before five rounds
had passed.
Barry has never fought Kaufman but
has fought Flynn and on every occasion
neither man was able to win. On the
other hand Kaufman defeated Flynn by
shade over Barry in the betting. How
ever, this is not criterion, as Barry
is liable to put the dreamland wallop
over on Kaufman as he has on many
other fighters of his class.
Kaufman is the betting favorite.
