BUY BRIDGE SPAN

Arrange Quarters for
New Appeals Court.

AT the afternoon session Of the coun-
ty commissioners Tuesday. they de-
cided to appropriate 500 for the pur-
chase OF a new steel span for the Can
util1o bridge. j. W. Eubank. who
had visited! the bridge IN the forenoon
and had been instructed by the COM
n1issioners in the morning session to
Investigate the possibilities Of pur-
chasing a new span. reported that the
span on hand with the FL Paso Bridge
& Iron company, could be had at cost
and that it would not require over
500 to put the span IN complete
The commissioners also decided 20
expend $1,000 for the establishing OF
new quarters in the county courthouse
for the eighth court Of civil appeals.
Judge Eyiar recommended this action,
stating that It would require $1,000
yearly to rent quarters without any
thing being gained. whereas $1,000
would remodel the quarters and pur-
chase the necessary furniture, and
stated that under the law the county
could issue $4,000 worth Of bonds with
out holding an election.
Commissioner Clifford moved that
the county judge be PLACED in full
charge Of arranging the work, which
was seconded and carried. and the
work will be commenced as soon as
arrangements can be made with the
architects.

New Tariff Pact Win Canada.

The administrations reciprocity
agreement with Canada was submit.
ted to congress, with a special mes.
sage from President Taft urging Its
prompt enactment into law.
The agreement was presented con
currently TO the Dominion parliament
in Ottawa and within a few days bills
will be introduced In the legislative
body of each government designed To
make the terms of the agreement. The
concurrent legislation obviates the ne.
cessity OF any negotiations on the
subject between the two governments.
Generally speaking. the agreement
opens the markets OF the United
States to Canada's leading agricul.
tural products. notably wheat and 9th.
er grain and also to her dairy pro.
ducts, fish. eggs and poultry. sheep.
cattle and other live animals Her
rough lumber also is admitted duty
free to the United States, as Is her
print paper and wood pulp and sew.
eral other raw materials.
In return for these concessions Can.
ada takes down the bars altogether
on cottonseed oil and American fruits
and some other products and grants
reduced duties on agricultural imple-
ments and other manufactured ar
ticles.
On the basis OF results expressed
In dollars and cents. Canada seems to
have little better OF the argument
In the agreement. although President
Taft points out In his message that
the benefits 20 be derived by the Unit.
ed States cannot be computed In this
way at the present. The total value
of articles now dutlable which the
United States proposes to make free
under the agreement is $39.S11 900. or
76.4 per cent OF the total dutiable i'm.
portations OF Canada into the United
States In the fiscal year 1911. The
total value OF articles now dutiable
which Canada proposes to make free
Is. on the other hand. only $685.
900. which Is 1876 per cent of all the
dutiable imports into Canada from the
United States In the same year. The
total amount Of duties to be RENTED
by the United States under the agree.
ment is $4.S50.000. as compared with
$2.560.000 with Canada
