The Frank Whipple Mill and Large
Amount of Lumber Burned
Locals.

|
Last Thursday night the lumber
mill, owned by Frank WhippIe about
one and a half miles from the village
was burned and about $4,000 or $500
worth of sawed lumber near the
mill. They had been saving single
through the day and had fire in the
stove in the single room and when
the mill was left for the night every
thing was supposed to be safe as no
fire was left in the stove. 1t is sup
posed that the SCOT in the chimney
must have been burning and in that
way the chimney being old set the
fire to the mill. The loss on the
mill and lumber is estimated to be
about $4,000 with no insurance. 1t
is not yet known whether the mill
will ever be rebuilt or not. Mr.
Whipple is in poor health and not
able to do work himself. 1t is loss
to the town or community as there
is no mill near this part of the town.
1t is reported that if the people
would render some assistance by
work or lumber the mill might be re-
built.

PRESIDENT GIVES
THE DEMOCRATS
DUE CREDIT
For the Passage Of the ReCiprO.
city Agreement
BILL PASSED VOTE So TO 27
Senator Page Voted Against it While
Senator Dillingham; Was Present
and Didn't Vote

Beverly, Mass, July 23-ln the first
statement he has made since the pas
sage of the reciprocity bill by the Sen
ate, President Taft tonight freely ac-
knowledged that his campaign in be
half of that measure would have pro-
we'd unayailing if the democrats had
. not helped him. Without such aid,
the president declared reciprocity
would have been impossible
THE democrats did not play poll
tics in the colloquial sense in which
those words are used" said the pres
ident but they followed the dictate
of higher policy
Washington July 23.-After voting
down with consistently overwhelming
majorities sixteen separate amend
ments the Senate early yesterday at.
ternoon passed the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill by vote of SO to q. This
puts through the House bill without
change and sends the measure up for
the presidents signature as soon as
the House meets again so that Speak
er Clark and the clerk of the House
can afiiX their attestations to the true
copy This will be next Wednesday.
and by that time the president, who
left yesterday afternoon in great Ella
ton for weekend at Beverly, will
have returned.
One section of the bill-that relat-
ing to the importation of wood pulp
and print paper into this country
will go into effect as soon as the pre-
sident signs the measure That sec
ton Is not subject to the conditions
imposed in the others requiring action
first OH the part OF Canada, and its
terms are such that wood pulp and
print paper not restricted by export
charges or other limitations from ex-
portation from Canada shall be admit
ted free of duty into the United
States. This means the free ingress
OF the products named from practic-
ally all private timber lands in the
Dominion.
The other sections are technically
reciprocal and await affirmative act
ion In Ottawa before becoming effec-
tive. Indications here are that the
passage of the bill in the United
States will greatly strengthen the
hands of Sir Wilfred Laurier's govern
ment in Ottawa in insisting on the
passage of the measure by Parliament
but 1t will be a matter of some weeks,
Indeed there are very definite indica.
tons that the Canadian government
may decide in the end to go to the
country before the vote is taken and
this will mean n general election in
the fall throughout the Dominion on
this issue No doubt is felt, however,
but that the terms of the agreement

MAY BE DRY IN TEXAS
Close Vote Expected on State Wide
Prohibition.

Dallas, Texas, July 23-Citizens
of Texas do not know tonight whet-
her they are to be able to get liquor
freely or whether the traffic is to be
forbidden throughout the State. Re-
turns from yesterdays election on the
question Of Statewide prohibition
show that sentiment is almost equal
ly divided. Whichever side wins,
the majority is not expected to exceed
5000 out OF total vote of about
100000 The closeness of the result
has caused general surprise, and the
campaign committees on both sides
are preparing to watch the canvass
closely and to raise cry of fraud If
the other side wins.
Returns complied up to late hour
tonight give the anti-prohibitionist a
lead of about 1000. These figures are
based on about 80 per cent OF the
vote. Many of the outlying counties
are TO be heard from still, and there
is a possibility that they will cut
down and prehaps wipe out the slight
lead of the vets. 1t is asserted on
the other hand that part OF the dis
trlct not reported is heavily anti-pro-
hibition, and that the majority will be
increased.
