Canadians Want Duty.

Vancouver, h. c., Feb. 1O.-The CO.
operation of the British Columbia Lum-
Der and Shingle Manufacturers, Limi-
ted, representing Coast millmen, and
the Vancouver Board of Trade is sought
IN support OF a resolution adopted at the
recent convention OF the Mountain Lum.
her Manufacturers association, calling
Tor the imposition of a -per-thousand
import duty on rough fir, cedar, spruce,
larch and pine lumber, and 80 cents a
thousand on shingles. Immediate ac-
ton by the dominion parliament is
urged.
The matter will be dealt with by both
the local bodies at an early date. The
resolution makes the assertion that the
most vital industry to the welfare of
British Columbia is the only great in
dustry on the American continent
which is not afforded reasonable protect
ion, and recites that British Columbia
milmen are still suffering from the al
legged unfair competition of rough lum-
Der coming into Canada free of duty.
Stress is also laid on the fact that the
mills are idle and that the lumber was
produced with protected machinery and
supplies.
The resolution further SAYS w. S.
Fielding, minister of finance, assured
kootenai lumbermen some years ago
that the dumping clause would Civ,
them ample protection from American
lumber, a promise that has not been
verified by results
The mills OF the Kootenais, so the
resolution AYERS, were unable to operate
one-fourth OF their l0-hour capacity dur
ing 1908, throwing out OF work thous
ands Of men and causing millions Of dol
lars Of invested capital to remain unpro
ductivs. rhe resolution asserts that a.
the product of mountain mills is from
10 to s. per cent common lumber, tn,
unfairness should be mauiiest OF allow
ing American mills to dump into Cana
da their surplus low-grade material
constituting, as it does. the largest por
tion of the Kootenai output.

TO ADVERTISE AT SEATTLE
League Of Commercial Clubs Will
do thorough ard effective work
at Seattle Exposition.

Secretary Reilly Atkinson OF the
League Of Southern Idaho Commercial
clubs has sent out the following sir-
cularg--
"The Executive board and the Adj
vertising Committee OF the League Of
Southern Idaho Commercial Clubs have
settled upon plan to be followed du-
ring the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposit
ion for the purpose Of advertising South
ern Idaho at that time.
The idea in brief is to have steriop-
ticon views made shaving in color the
various agricultural, horticultural, and
industrial scenes OF Southern Idaho, set
ting forth as well as possible the re-
sources of tie Southern part Of the
state. Eeach town in the League will
have right to have certain number
OF views in the set this number may be
two or six or ten, do not know which,
in any event each town will have the
same number In addition there will be
the general views,
These views will be shown In a large
tent TO be located down town in Seattle
during the Exposition and will bs ac
companied by strong lecture on the
resources and advantages OF Southern
Idaho. These can be shown and the
'ecture gwen abont three times day
Admission will be free, but every per
son going into the tent will be required
TO deposit card giving his name and
address. A list of these names and
addresses will be sent to each club In the
League every night.
1t ia verv probable that over 900 900
eastern people will visit the Seattle Fair
probably 90 per cent Of these, or 600, 900
will be out here not only to see the Fair
but 20 hunt up now iome. We must
get those people by all means,
II your club Is not now member oi

cal Clubs this letter ia cent to YOU in
order that you may know what we are
doing and we extend to you an invita-
tion to become one Of the League and tc

A Good Bill

State Senator Ruah Won Harten, and
representative VIM. IL Taylor, both OF
this county, have simultaneously intro
duced in their respective houses q bill
authorizing the location of lode and
placer claims and mill sites upon lands
belonging to tho state OF Idaho.
The State Land Board has reeklessly
located mineral land, and also valid
mining claims, in violation OF law and
oi the Idaho Admission Act, locating
such land with poor or scattering timber
in preference to non-mineral land con-
tanning valuable timber. Tkis aeems to
have been done for the single purpose ol
running the mining industry.
II Senator Won Harten and Represen-
tative Taylor do no nore than to get this
bill through, they will have done more
than could be accomplished by any
other member of the present session o
the legislature.
A similar bill introduced by Senator
L. h. Walter, of this county passed
both houses with little or no opposition
but was vetoed by Gov. Gooding afte
the Legislature adjourned. This wa
not at all surprising, being conslsten
with his record OF relentless ennlity to
