GOT A GOOD SCARE
Spekenhier's Machine Runs
Amuck Down the Court
House Hill.
POSTMASTER QUITE COOL

Postmaster ]. A. Spekenhier had
thrilling experience while driving his
large White steam car west on Main
street. In turning the corner Of Fort
Wayne avenue and Main, just as he
was starting down the court house hill
the car struck an unusually large
bump in the road. breaking the pro-
pelling shaft and causing the engine to
run wild. The brake was also put out
of commission and as the automobile
gained momentum with each revolu-
ton of the wheels. it looked like there
would be big doings in few minutes.
Inwardly congratulating himself over
the fact that he had his life insured,
the only thing Mr.. Spekenhier could
do was to keep the machine in the
broad and murmur a prayer that moth
! Ing would happen. And the way he
lodged bicycles. wagons and vehicles
of all descriptions on his exciting ride
down the hill would cause Barney
Oldfield to take cover and shout for
the seltzer bottle. Mr.. Spekenhfer
managed to turn the corner of Third
and Main street on two wheels without
| turning over and the car finally came
to stop. In the party were Mr.. and
Mrs. Spekenhier, Miss Effie Bennins
Mrs. Hattie Spekenhier and her daugh
, ter, Miss Marie Spekenhier.

At a recent called meeting of our
Associated Charities, to which num-
ber OF business men were invited. the
officers who have for several years so
faithfully acted as the almoners of the
contributors of the funds of the asso-
citation were SO discouraged by the
lack Of funds last winter that they
suggested the meeting should careful
ly consider whether the organization
should longer continue.
After free discussion, the decision
was unanimous that this noble philan
thropic work, which has intelligently
and economically relieved SO much
distress and suffering, must not be
given up. and a committee was ap
pointed chiefly from the business men
above mentioned to report to an ad
journed meeting method by which
this service may be successfully con
tinued.
This committee made several recon
mendations to the adjourned meeting
all of which were approved. One o.
these suggestions was that at 1eas1

The county commissioners were In

CANADIANS IN A
VERY SURLY MOOD
Quebec to Prohibit Export of
Pulp Paper From the
Crown Lands.
RESENT NEW TARIFF LAW
EFFORTS OF LEGISLATION WILL
BE DIRECTED TOWARD SET.
TLING DiFFicULTIES- NEW
LEASE PROVISIONS.

Montreal, Sept. Awhile it is true
that there is resentment In this coun-
try. over the new provisions of the
Payne tariff affecting the pulp and
paper industry. It is felt both at OF
tawa and Quebec that nothing can be
gained by the imposition Of export
duties.
The government. it is officially an
nounced, will not take any action of a
retaliatory nature in this direction,
and any legislation it may enact will
be directed rather to a final settle
ment rather than an aggravation OF
the difficulties at present in the way.
It can be authoritatively announced
that the future action of the Quebec
with the policy most acceptable to the
Dominion as a whole, rather than any
calculated to meet only the immediate
situation as it is found in the provinces
Of Quebec.
Timber Leases Expire.
The existing timber leases in that
province expire at the end of the cur
rent year. The government win have
to decide upon its policy soon In ord
er that 1t may be carried into effect

1t is certain that the provincial gov
ernment will elect to follow the ex
ample Of Ontario and make it a stipu
lated essential condition Of all new
leases that there shall be absolutel.
no expectation of unmanufactured
pulp wood to the United States in sc
far as crown lands are concerned.
1t would require an act Of the Do
minion government to prohibit expor

Considerably more than so per cent
OF the manufactured pulp wood sen
from Quebec province to the Unitet
States is exported by farmers from
their own lands.
The provincial government can taxi

Parliament together, as the assent o
the provincial assembly is not necee

of timber leases. though such chang
would In all probability be submitte'
to it. If the premier decided to call

when he expresses his dissatisfaction
with asphalt Mr.. Guthrie was inter-
viewed and he sumed up the situation
as follows:
Asphalt streets in the CITY Of Mum
Gle in the business section have prov
en- very unsatisfactory In the past.
In the first place our streets are mar

ness streets the electric street and

The city does not own . plant for the
repair of such streets and - . rule it
IL extremely difficult to get the a.
phalt companies to bring their ms
chinery here unless we have . large
amount of work to be done. At one
time, we were notified by the asphalt
Icompanies that they would not come
to Muncie unless We had 10000 square
yards of work to be done. We had
about 5000 square yards We wero
lcompelled to wait until the remainder

to bring the yardage up TO the 10000
