Mrs. Rhoda Garland.

Mrs. Rhoda Garland, widow of
the late Abram Garland, died at
the home of her son, Aaron NJ.
Garland, IN Belfast town ship,
Friday evening, April 8, 1909,
aged II years, s months and 16
days. Her funeral, conducted by
Ed. y. L. Fund, took place Mon
day at 10 o'clock, and lnterment
was made in the cemetery at the
Sldeling Hill Baptist church.
Mrs. Garland was daughter
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Lake, of Relfast township. Her
late husband preceded her to the
grave about thirty. three years
ago. She is survived by 10 great.
grand children, 33grand children
and nine children, namely, Job

lam Garland, Buffalo Mills, Bed.

Mrs. Garland was consistent
member of the Primitive Baptist
church for over so years. While
she had been in falling health for
a long time, the immediate cause
of her death was pleuro.pneumo-
MIA, from which she had been
sick but a short time.

Back From California.

Mr.. William Reed, of Ayr town.
ship, called at the News office
while in town last Saturday. Last
May, MIR. Reed, IN order to graft.
fly desire he had long maintain
ed-to see the Pacific Coast-set
out upon journey. His first
stop was III Chicago, where he
stayed a week or two, then went
on to Iowa and stayed a short
time with friends there, and then
went on to San Francisco. From
San Francisco, he made side trips,
visiting Los Angeles, The Big
Tree Country; Oregon, Washing.
ton, and even taking a little trip
across the border into Canada.
Mr.. Reed is glad he made the
trip, and feels that the lnforma.
ton he gained, and the pleasure
that the trip afforded him, more
than compensated for the ex-
pense attending the outing.
While Mr.. Reed found in Calforn
Ia many things that were pleas
ant to an Easterner, he says there
is too much difference between
the temperature in the daytime,
and that at night. The tempera.
ture through the day is warm
and pleasant, but about four o.
clock in the afternoon it begins
to grow cool, and through the
night there is damp chllliness
that is anything out comfortable.

many years." looks as though 1t
had felt the influence of some
seismic disturbance. Not to re.
fer to the inconvenience of the
Sheriff and his family having to
crawl in and out over that stone
pile, the most shocking thought
comes to mind, when we contem.
plate what might happen to prls.

Business and the Outlook.

The most striking, if not the
most important, commercial
event of the week was the official
crop report, indicating that the
condition of winter wheat was
much below that of year ago
aud substan TALLY lower than that
of an average of the past ten
years at this date. Of course,
there was wild speculation, and
prices went up higher than they
have been for more than twenty
years except during the Letter
corner. On Saturday IN Chicago
July wheat, which has been sell
ing IA cents under May, at ST.
liz, was rushed up to $1.15, and
the other options went up four
cents. Europe, 1t is said, will
need 50,0O0,000 bushels of our
wheat in the next four months.
But the total visible supply In
America and Europe is less than
100000 bushels below that of a
year ago, and the price of May
wheat is 31B cents higher. 1t Is
reported that 5000 bushels of No.
2 red has been sold to an Ohio
miller for $l.38, bat generally the
mlllers are taking calm view of
the situation and intimate that
there is no immediate occasion
for an advance In flour. Pittsburg
dealers, however, have advanced
prices 10 to 25 cents a barrel.
New wheat will be coming on the
market inside of three months,
and the estimates of wheat in
farmers hands March l indlcat-
ed good supply for home con-
sumption and 10000 900 bushels
or more tor export. The Modern
Miller's report on weather con-
dltlons is favorable. Corn prices
broke under general selling. Sell
ing on stop orders was general.
Receipts OF corn are light, and
the firm tone of the cash market
and the strength In wheat and
oats have tendency to- rally
prices.

Reducing Lumber Duties.

The House last Tuesday by an
overwhelming vote decided on
the reduction in the duty on lum-
ber and struck out the proposal
that countervailing export duty
abroad should be added to the
duty here. Free lum Der was de-
feated largely by Democratic
votes.
The imports of lumber ran to
S31, 576, SAG in 1907, the largest
on record. The average for five
years has been $25, 100000. One
half these imports come IN as saw
ed lumber and pay 81 per thous-
and feet under the present tariff.
In 1907, S59,339 thousand feet
came IN this way, valued at $l4,-
623, 656.
This IS the center of the tariff
on lum Der. The duty was 81 IN
the Mckinley tariff, free in the
Wilson tariff, and 81 in the Ding
ley tariff. The P,'yne tariff cuts
this to 81, as 1t was IN the McKln.
ley. For thirty years half our
lum Der and wood imports fall un-
der this item. Much else is
brought in, but this settles the
market.
The timber lands of Canada are
owned by the provinces. They
lease them and impose a stump
age charge. This varies In On.
tarlo the export of logs is prohib-
tied altogether. Lumbe must
be manufactured at home. Que
bee puts on a countervalllng duty.
British Colu N bia is satisfied with
a stumpage charge on all alike.
The Payne tariff, as reported,
would have added all or part of
these to the duty, making it sub.
stantially equal to the present
charge. The House wisely pro-
poses to make it easy to import
lum ber.
Under the present tariff about
5 per cent. of our lum ber supply
is imported and under a duty av-
eraglng about Is per cent. The
new duties will average about
half this, and as prices rise, less.
1t is possible that 10 per cent. of
the lumber consumed will come
from Canada under lower duties
not much more. Prices will
change little, but Canadian for
ests will be used lpstead of Ameri
can.

Among the many bright young

diminishing, George offered to
go to a nearby store and get some
more nails provided the carpen-
