CABLE COMP AN|ES
In Controversy Over New Foundlano
Service-Governmen Repudiates
Postal Co.'s Contract.

3 An interesting controversy is in
progress between the Commercial
Cable Co which recently established
telegraplhc communication between
this country and New Foudland, in
which is involved the right of the
present administration of New Found
land 10 annul a contract made by the
company named with the previous ad-
ministration, 'and under which con
tract the company has expanded eyer
a million dollars for cable and other
construction work. The Commercial
Gable Co (which is the Postal Tele.
graph and Cable Coz has iss.AA d
circular explaining then situation !
part as follows:
The issue is whether the New
foundland government has the right tC
repudiate a reasonable and legal
agreement on the faith of which over
one million dollars has been eXpend-
ed by an Americas corporation. The
Anglo-American Telegraph Company
is evidently trying to inject another
issue into the controversy, namely
whether it shall hereafter have a
monopoly of the Newfoundland bust
ness, as it had for fifty years.
The Commercial Cable Company
states that its position is that it made
a legal aud reasonable contract with
a responsible British Government.
and invested over a million dollars
on the faith of than contract, and that
consequently it expects the New
foundland government to respect the
contract and not to repudiate it simply
because one party TO it is an Ameri-
can corporation, and because a Brit
ish corporation complains that it will
be hurt by the contract"

Speech--Can't Be

Ameeting was held last evening by
the Taft. Day executive committee at
the offices of. Chas. r. Stuart & Son,
for the purpose of naming some of the
committee schairmen for. the occasion,
There We're present Mayor Parsons,
chairman OF the committee: e. A,
Smith, president of the Commercial
Club; Chas. r. Stuart, secretary OF the
Commercial club and II. S. Antrim
vice president of the Bosrd of Trage
Some important preliminaries were
gone over in an informal discus
sion, and two chairmen We're named :
j. b. Magee OF the Transportation
Committee, and f. A. Smith of the
steamboat committee. These gentle
men will name their assistants on
these committees.
Chairmen of the Finance. Reception
Publicity and Music committees VIII
be named later.
The gentlemen present made a visit
of inspection to the wharf boat To
ascertain the situation there with re
spect to having the president address
the people from the roof of that struc
ture They decided against this and
in favor of building platform on
shore, at the edge of the water, which
the president can mount from his boat
and from which he can be seen and
heard to much better advantage, be
cause it will bring him nearer to thu
people. More than likely the platform
will be erected at the waters edge
just below the wharf boat and high
enough to bring the speaker about on
level with the people half way up
the leyee slope.

When a tree reaches its prime it Is
best 10 cut it out and give the young
trees a chance to develop. In doing
this, care should be taken not to in
jure the young growth. A Gudicious
thinning out of the young trees will
often be desirable. Enough firewood
can be generally obtained to pay for
the labor. and the trees that are left
will be benefited. In the case of trees
that will be used for timber purposes
the removal Of the lower branches
will improve their quality for lumber.
