GIANT TREE OF THE TROPICS
Product of Madeira Island Rivals
Americas Great Redwoods
in Age and Size.

Lisbon.-When Madeira island Is
mentioned, people usually associate
with it the name of the wine which
was made from it's luscious grapes, be-
fore the blight practically destroyed
the vines. They have given little, if
any, thought to the real meaning or
derivation of the word Madeira.
The Portuguese were the first of the
white race to colonize the picturesque
island northwest of Africa, and the pi-
oneers found the mountains and val
leys covered with forests of giant
trees. So pronounced was this fea-
ture that they gave the island the
name of Madeira, which means timber
in their language. Some imposing
remnants of the great forests still re-

TAFT'S MESSAGE ON TRUSTS
FEDERAL CONTROL THE REMEDY
SUGGESTED.
Will Discuss Tariff and Other Issues
in Separate Docu-
ments.

Washington, Nov. 29.-President
Taft's third annual message, which
goes to congress Tuesday will be de-
voted to the trust question" The
message contains from 5000 to 5000
words, and with the exception of
few references in a general way to
other related subjects, will deal with
the question of industrial combinations
alone. Although details of the mes
sage are not made public it is under
stood that federal incorporation as
outlined by Mr.. Taft two years ago
Will be suggested again as a method
Tor solution of the problem. The
president has indicated his aversion to
amendment OF the Sherman antitrust
act and from his talks with callers the
suggestion of such amendment in the
message.
In sending an annual message to
congress devoted to one subject alone
the president has done something that
has not been done since 1887 when
president Cleveland devoted his mes
sage entirely to the tariff. 1t is
usual for the chief executive to point
out the need Of all sorts of legislation
and to give in brief form the history
OF the past year so far as the govern
ment is concerned This will be done
away with the present message
and later on Mr.. Taft will send special
messages to congress dealing with i'm
portant subjects.
The president expects to discuss the
tariff in separate message to be writ
ten after Dec. II. The tariff board
will not be able to make it's report on
the wool and cotton schedules until
then.
Conservation, including the develop
ment of Alaska, will be dealt with
either in separate message or in one
that takes in many subjects exclusive
OF the trusts and the tariff. In addi-
ton to these suggestions to congress
Mr. Taft hopes to send in reports of
the postal commission, the railway Sc
curities commission, the economy and
efficiency commission and possibly
others, before the usual adjournment.
