We wonder if the editor of the Seattle
Daily Times entertains any higher OPINION
of W. J. Burns, the world s most renowned

True enough Burns did not quite get the

close that even the Colonel should not hest
tate to give him credit for doing things.

Split Peas in Germany.

The export of split peas from 6lis consular district to the United States has been insignificant for the past four or five years. The industry is not large. there being only one important manufactory. The peas used are largely grown in the vicinity of Mag deburg and are said to be of excellent quality. For the export trade they are usually sold in sacks containing 100 kilos (220 pounds).
 The market price varies from 20 to 32 marks ($4.76 to s7.62) per 100 kilos according to quality The farmer is paid 16 to 26 marks (s3.81 to $6.19) per 100 kiios. The peas in greatest de- mand for eating purposes are the small table pea, costing q marks (s5) per 100 ki1os; Victoria peas at 25.20 marks ($6) per 100 kilos; and green peas at 31.50 marks ($7.50) per 100 kilos. The small pea used almost exclusively for cattle feed costs 17.30 marks (s4.12) per 100 kilos.
 The machinery used for splitting peas is erected in almost every case by the mill owners. Great secrecy is maintained, and it is impossible for an outsider to get glimpse Of it. know of a case where the manufacturer o1 the machines was not permitted by the mill owner to see them in action two weeks after their erection. There fore I am unable to give an exact de- scription of the machinery. As far as I have been able to find out, it Is ex- clusively of German manufa cture, one firm supplying the chief demand.-- From Consul Alfred W. Donegan Magdeburg.

FEAR LOSS OF TRADE.

Ths fear of loss of otrade by the Canadians is said to extend from Hal flax to Vancouver, and the claim is that 1t means that tife losses under the reciprocity treaty of 1854 are to be repeated.
 Colonel Matheson, treasurer of the province of Ontario, brings forth the following statistics in opposition:
 '1n 1854 the exports from Quebec were s1o.o47.sss; a year later they dropped to Ss.234.sos. For 1854 the imports were s7.c1z,s1s but in 1855 they were only s2.e3o.2ss. In 1854 tke outgoing shipping at Quebec was 1.55s Eessels. carrying 69s.ooo tons; the next fear only SIT vessels. carrying AIS, ,000 tons. The Montreal statistics showed Similar decreases, due to the-f fact that the reciprocity treaty diverted trade to New York and other United States ports. In 1866, the last year of the reciprocity treaty, the exports from Montreal were se.s31, 900, while in 1867, the first year after it's abrogation, they were sSt104,000. The imports for the same years at Montreal showed an increase from 324.2I1,000 in 1866 to predicted that StAJohn, Halifax. Que bec, Montreal and Toronto would once more "zll lose trade under . reci- procity arrangement"

 'The fathers of confederation can never be anything less than the fa- thcrs of success. They at all events made good The Canada they launch- ed reached the open sea and had all the world before it.

VILE sLANDERERs.

There are men travelling the country who aver from intimate knowledge that Roosevelt's intemperance in speech and his inconsistencies are due to excessive indulgence inf intoxicat- ing beverages. It is time that this false statement was nailed and Jacob Riis steps to the front and does it as follows:
 Roosevelt drinks just about as much as Lyman Abbott, and the Lord has spared him the grief the vile slanderers hunt in his family circle. would advise you to meet any one of them that %you come across with the flat declaration that he is damna- ble liar-I was going to say a damned liar, but will leave him to his Maker who will know how to deal with him more effectua1ly than any earthly judge. It is the existence of such slimy. crawling things on earth that brings one back to the belief in the traditional birthstone pit as the only fit place for them"

CANADIAN PRooREss AND TRADE

SHN-Ssf%N V Fn<<>11 t$t4k T ttf&Ok1 It Is learned from Chicago that 2oO,- 900 people emigratedk to the Canadia northwest from the United States dur ing 1910. which makes half million of more from the states ip the past decade.
 J. B. Dennis. manager Of the land, irrigation and timber interests of the Canadian Pacifcf railway of western Canada from reports made to him when in Chicago from agents of the company. states this years emigration will exceed the record of any previous year. Even when compared with the movements of the last two or three years from the United States to west 'ern Cahada," he said, "the indications are that there will be very marked movenlent of people The prospects for crops in the west are very bright, owing to the fact that the late fall enabled farmers to get large amount of land ready for spring crops. In southern Alberta the fall3 conditions and the unusual showfal1 during the winter practically assure good crop of winter wheat"
 MT. Dennis had just returned from Great Britain and Europe, where he spent two months arranging for the extension of the organization dealing with Immigration from England and the continent to western Canada. He said that the increased movement of home seekers from both Great Britain and northern Europe this year will be very large. over 1000 applications were received in Great Britain for the 100 farms which were prepared last year to be settled this spring under the Canadian Pacific railways policy of providing ready farrns." As result of this demand in Breat Brit ain, the company is preparing 300 ready made farms for settlement next year. On each the company will erect a house. a barn and fences, provide a well and put 50 acres in crop. This policy was adopted to attract the ten- ant farmer class of Great Britain, and those farms are available only for farmers from Great Britain.
 Regarding reciprocity between Can- ada and the United States, MT. Den his declined to express any opinion, saying that of course this was more or less of a. political question. but he vol unteered the statement that the sign- ing of. the treaty by Canada and the United States could not fail to have a marked effect upon land values in western Canada, in view of the fact, which is now generally recognized, that the only large area of land avail able for home seekersvwas located in ihe western provinces of the Domin- ion.
 With such Q big American popu1a- ton north of us, it is to be expected that trade will be greatly increased. These people want the old goods in their new hprees.. A3

COULDN'T BEAT THE COURT.

Every court will not allow itself to be hoodwinked or played with, and Judge sapp's court in Cherokee coun- ty. Kansas, is one that requires the witnesses to rerneRber things. The wituesses in a liquor case could snot remember what they drank on a cer- tain occasion in a certain place. Rec ogntxing the old game, Judge Sapp excused the jury for a few moments and then said to the witness:
 '2Vow. MT. Witness. no perjury nor foo1ishness goes in this court. Living on tho witness stand must stop. When you eat an apple you know what it is: when you eat a potato you know what tt zs; when yo-z drink coffee you know what ft Is; When you drink whiskey you know what 1t is; when you drink beer you know whtt it is- Now am going to cau this kiry back and when you are asked what you drank in that place you can either tell the truth or 60 to 5afl"

The convention which hac been sign ed by Secretary Knox and General Pe- redes minister of finance for Hondu- ras, will amount, when the senate rat flies it, to a practical guarantee on the part of the United States that Hon. drras will fulfil it's part of the con tract. The guarantee does not go so far, however, as the one given a few years ago in the Santo Domingo case. That provided for the collection of cus- toms by American officials.

WHAT TIE DEAL MEANS.

The capture of the Rutland railroad hy President Mellen as means ol Oorfsctins the great Consolidated sys- lom of New England Is explained by q. W. Clement. who long had contro of this Vermont road. He says:
 The new deal means that the New Haven and Boston & Maine systems now control two routes to Canada ono on either side of the Central Yer mont; the route lying .fo the east of the Central runs to Sherbrooke and beyond by way of the Connecticut and Passumpsic river and Canadian Pa ci1c while that to the west will run to Montreal, ogdensburg and beyond (i1cIuding a lake line of boats) by way of the Rutland line.
 ~The tactical advantage gained will be to give the Boston & Maine or the New Haven, all approaches by rail to Bellows Falls as against the Central Vermont
 The situation regarding traffic vill bS altered to the extent of diverting such New England westbound business n has heretofore been routed by the Grand Trunk originating at Boston c Maine points to the Rutland route, but the change will not affect in any mater4al degree the Grand Trunk s access to it's proposed New England seaboard terminals
 "The traffic from the great north- west over the Canadian transcontinen- ta1 lines has been growing constantly sfnce that region was opened up and has naturally sought an outlet at the eastern seabosrd. both on the Cana dian and New England coasts. A large part of this traffic through this new arrangement will be led through west ern Vermont by the New Haven over it's own lines to Boston
 As a counter-move to the Grand Trunk acauirement of through line across New England to the Atlantic seaboard At Providence. this must be considered as a. masterly business stroka It changes the equilibrium of traffic.

There had been some sort of an understanding be- tween her and Charles before Sam butted into the game and won her af- fections, and I hoped to see them en- gagged almost immediately, but, I am pained to say, there have been strange doings since then.
