An Astonished BOY.

In February of this year Wiscon-
sin farmer took his twelve-year-old boy
to village for the first time, and
there the lad saw train of cars. He
was SO astonished at the sight that he
lost the power of speech for three
weeks.
If that youngster is ever taken to a
circus or a geological garden he'll
surely be struck dumb for the rest OF
his life. His fathers farm must be
hidden away in a hole in the ground.

Before Adjournment.

paper Bill.
Abandonment of Doctrine of
Protection He Asserts.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Although no
agreement as to the time for a vote
could be reached by unanimous con-
sent today, there is still chance that
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
will be passed by the house before ad-
Journment tonight. A motion to cut
on general debate will be made about
o O'CLOCK and the advocates of the
measure claim to have votes enough to
put 1t through. The bill will then be
read Tor amendment and debate will be
limited under the five minute rule

ments may delay a final vote, but it
Is believed the majority in favor Of
the Dill is SO strong it eventually can
cut these off before adjournment.
Members were tardy in reaching the
mouse today so a point of no quorum
was made by Representative Dwight,
the Republican whip, and a call of the
house was ordered.
When quorum had been secured
Representative Underwood of Alabama
began speaking in favor of the meas
ure. The reciprocity bill, Mr.. Under
wood declared, was made necessary by
tie future of the maximum and mini
mum provisions of the Payne-Aldricn
law. Those provisions, he said, were
wrong in principle. They made the
minimum rate the general scale and
RAON4NCo 4Oi IICiOdSSQ rate DIS a re-
taliation for high rates against this
country. The principle thus establish
ed was one of coercion and not calcu-
lated to bring about good feeling.
Mr.. Underwood contended that in an
ideal bill the maximum should be the
general rates and that the president
could grant substantial concessions to
those countries willing to do the same
toward this country.
Representative Dalzell (Pa.), fol-
lowed Mr.. Underwood with the prin-
cipal speech in opposition. He be-
gan by assailing the newspapers of the
country and denouncing the reciprc-
city agreement. Mr.. Dalzell complain
ed bitterly of the haste with which
| the bill had been rushed through the
committee on ways and means and
brought before the house. 4
This is newspaper bill, NE de-
c1ared. Newspaper greed for free
print paper is behind this free trade
proposition Opposition to the meas
ure has been minimized and a false
sentiment created in favor of it by
the newspape interests. This bill is
uncalled for by the majority of our
| people. 1t is unrepublican and in
consistent with the policy of protec-
tion."
Mr. DalzelI was interrupted by ap-
plause from the Democrat side.
''It is an abandonment" he resum-
ed, "of the doctrine of protection and
an espousal of free trade. 1t is class
legislation of the most obnoxious
character; it strikes at the American

these are the findings reported to the
president by Herbert Knox Smith
commissioner of corporations, in the
first installment of his long waited re-
port on the lumber industry in the
United States. The report was made
public today by the president sending
it to congress. The report is effective
ly summarized in the commissioner )
letter of submittal. His conclusion, IN
a forecast of the future, partakes OF
the sensational.
There are many great combinations
in other industries says the commits
sioner whose formation is complete.
In the lumber industry. on the other
hand, the bureau finds now in the max
ing a combination caused, fundamen-
tally, by long standing public policy.
The concentration already existing is
sufficiently impressive.
In the last 40 years concentration
has so proceeded that 195 holders, many
inter-related, have practically one-half
of the privately owned timber in the
Investigated area (Which contains so
per cent Of the whole). This formida-
BILE process certainly involves grave fu-
ture possibilities of irnpregna.ble mon
opolistic conditions, whose far-reach-
ing consequences it is difficult to an
ticipate fully, or to over estimate.
The commissioner reserves for later
report the subject of combinations in
the manufacture or sale of lumber, Gas
distinguished from ownership of stand
ing timber). Following is substantially
the full text of the letter, summarizing
the report:
Facts in the Case.
"The foremost facts shown are:
"Q)-The concentration of a dominat-
ing control of our standing timber In
a comparatively few, enormous holdings
steadily tending toward a central con-
troll of the lumber Industry.
"(2)-Vast speculative purchase ano
holdino of timber land far in advance
of any use thereof.

value of this diminishing natural re-
source, with great profits to it's own
ers. This value, by the very nature OF
standing timber, the holder neither Gre
ated nor substantially enhanced.

Adopts Mercer Resolution tt
Submit 1t to Election.
1T WAS ONE SIDED.
Carried by Vote of Sixty-Nine
to FOrty-Nine.
Puts an End to State Fair Leg
islatiOn.

BY its action this morning the house
decided to check the proposition of
Whether or not Kansas should have a
state fair up to the people and also
the location of the state fair city.
Three state fair bills were before the
mouse, set for special orders tonight.
Hutchinson lobby fifty strong was
mere to work to get the house to en-
dorse the senate action making Hutch
lnson the state fair city. Just before
the noon hour today the Mercer reso-
luton checking the whole matter up
TO the people of the state at the next
general election was introduced and
immediate action regarding it was
urged by the opponents of Hutchin-
son.
The Hutchinson people cried fraud.
But the resolution was passed by a
vote of SO to 49. The Shawnee and
Sedgwick representatives, six strong,
voted for the resolution. Brown of
k1ngman, whose county borders on
Reno from the south, was, first geo
graphically and then teetotally and
constitutionally for Hutchinson and he
denounced the Mercer resolution as an
administration crime. But as to why
Stubbs had part in the state fair
fight, or what that part was, the old
timer from Kingman did not say. He
was sore, though. The vote, in the
main, was a geographical vote, which
week when Hutchinson was chosen.
The seventh district mem bers voted
against the resolution. They had the
senate action for prestige and hoped to
win, even in the house, if state fair
was decided upon at all. A number
of eastern representatives voted with
the Hutchinson crowd.
The following is the text of the
Mercer resolution:
Whereas, There are now pending be-
fore this legislature three separate
bills providing for the establishment OF
a state fair and making appropriations
therefor: and
Whereas, At previous sessions oi
| this legislature similar bills have fol

Head of National Grange Denounces
Reciprocity With Canada.

Concord, N H, Feb. 1.-THE pro-
posed Canadian reciprocity agreement
is attacked in a letter sent to Secre
tary of Agriculture James Wilson by
former Governor Nahum ]. Bachelor
of this city, master of the National
grange. The letter is a reply to the
communication favoring the agreement
sent by Secretary Wilson to Mr.. Bach
elder on February 8.
Mr.. Bachelor says the agreement is
unfair to the farmers of the United
States, "who ask for nothing but a
square deal-equal protection for all
classes and interests
The letter addressed to Secretary
Wilson says in part:
You attempted to defend the con-
tinuance of a high tariff for manufac-
turers along with the free trade for
the farmers, by claiming 1t is the pro-
tected workers who furnish the farm
ers with their chief market. You are
simply repeating the pet argument of
the manufacturer and claiming what
is exactly the reverse of actual con-
ditions.
t'It is on the prosperity of the farm
ers that the welfare of all other classes
manufacturers, merchants, transpor-
tation interests and factory workers
depend.
seThe sole question before the Amer
lean people is whether we shall have
free trade in all farm products and
high protection for manufactured ar
ticles.
"You know the price of farm land is
much lower in Canada than in the
United States. You know that the Ca
madam farmer buys his manufactured
articles cheaper because his tariff du-
ties on foreign goods are lower. And
vet, knowing all this, you would strike
down the very moderate tariff. aver
aging about rs per cent, which they
now receive, without giving them the
benefit of any real reduction in duties
on manufactures.
srYou refer to the advantages to
our great milling interests of the free
admission of Canadian wheat. How
will this help the farmers. Wheat is
on the free list, but flour is to be taxed
| so cents per barrel. Cattle, hogs and
sheep are to be free. but meat, both
