TAFT SENDS SPECIAL
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Continued From Page one.

"The agreement in it's intent and in
the terms was purely economic and
commercial. While the general sub
ject was under discussion by the COM
missioners felt assured that the sent
iment OF the people of the United
States was such that they would well
come a measure which would result in
the increase of trade on both sides of
the boundary line, and would open UP
the reserve productive resources of
Canada to the great mass of our own
consumers on advantageous conditions.
and at the same time offer broader
outlet for the excess products of our
farms and many of our industries.
"Details regarding a negotiation of
this kind necessarily could not be
made while the conferences were pend
ing. When. however; the full text of
the agreement, accompanying CORES
pondence and data explaining both
it's purpose and it's scope became
known to the people through the mes
sage transmitted to congress, 1t was
Immediately apparent that the ripened
fruits of the careful labors of the COM
missioners met with widespread ap-
prevail. This approval has been
strengthened by further consideration
OF the terms of the agreement in all
their particulars. The volume Of sup
port which has developed shows that
appreciated and is responsible to the
popular will.
The house Of representatives of the
sixty first congress after the full text
Of the arrangement with all the de-
tails in regard to the different pro-
visions had been before 1t, as they
were before the American people,
passed a bill confirming the agreement
as negotiated and as submitted to
congress. This measure failed OF ac-
ton in the senate. In my transmitting
message of Jan. 26, / fully set forth
the character of the agreement. and
emphasized it's appropriateness and
necessity as a response to the mutual
needs of the people of the two coun-
tries, as well as its common advan-
tages. now lay that message, and
the reciprocity trade agreement. as
part Of the present message before
the sixty second congress, and again
invite earnest attention to the con-
siderations therein expressed.
Il am constrained, in Difference to
popular sentiment and with a realiz-
ing sense Of my duty to the great
mass Of our people whose welfare
is involved, to urge upon your con-
sideration early action on this agree
ment. In concluding the negotiations
the representatives Of the two coun-
tries bound themselves to use their
utmost efforts to bring about the tar
iff changes provided for In the agree
ment by concurrent legislation at
Washington and Ottawa. have felt
1t my duty, therefore, not to acquiesce
in relegation of action until the open
ing Of the congress in December, but
to use my constitutional prerogative
and convoke the sixty-second congress
in extra session in order that there
shall be no break of continuity in con-
sidering and acting upon this most
important subject.

weather map shows continued snow
In the northwest with cloudy weather
land some rain in the southwest and
central west There was some I'm
provement in the cash demand late
Monday with larger sales. Prices have
had a sharp decline and liquidation
has been very severe and 1t would not
surprise us to see some rally, al
though there is nothing at the moment
to bull wheat on.
Corn.-Broken weather continues
throughout the belt, which is doubt
less interfering with deliveries, and
we are inclined TO look for a steadier
market until the weather clears.
Oats.-We believe there is still con-
siderable liquidation to take place and
we can see no basis for any advance
in prices, although the markets doubt
less would steady IL other grains keep

Walter Johnson of the washington

pitchers in the country today. Wall

who was manager of the senator's att

err, was sent to the western wilds]
to get the boy to sign contract
At the time Johnson was only 10
years old. He is still young fellow
and has a constitution that should /,
keep him among the topnotchers for
years to come Johnson did not cost
the washington club one cent.
Speaker Cost $4,7oo.
Iris Speaker, outfielder Of the Boss
ton red sox, cost Taylor In the neigh
borhood of $A.70O. There are few
better men on the bases, in the field
or at the bat. From past indications
he will be in his prime the coming
season, and viii be a valuable asset
to the red sox team.
Artie Holman of the cubs is one
of the most consistent hitters and the
surest outfielder in the Natioual
league circuit. He cost Chicago In
the neighborhood OF $1,000. Hisl
steady work from the time he put on
a cub uniform has been the marvel
of the old circuit.
Ty Cobb, worlds champion batter,
cost the Detroit club 5000. The Geo
gia cracker, outside Of Walter john
son, was the greatest bargain In mod
ern baseball. Further, he was brought
out largely by accident There is
probably no inducement that could get
him from the tiger management.
Frank Schultz of the cubs Russell
Ford of the highlanders, Clyde Milan
of Washington and Eddie Collins OF
the athletics are examples of the
finds" in baseball which have cost
little or no money.

While debating the tourist business of the past two months. II. D. Kirmse who is probably in better position to judge than any of the business men of sKagway, expressed hts views of the matter In the presence Of a representative of the Daily Alaskan as follows:--
 'It is largely up to the merchant whether he will have a good season or not The past season with me has been one of the best I ever had, and I attribute it 10 the fact that have had the goods for all tourists must be from Missouri and they must be shown. so I have been able to show them.
 "I have made a study of the tourist trade. and in my selection Of goods for this summers business I used the utmost care and thought Not alone in the nugget jewelry line. but in the other lines of ourios which I have had on display have lost sight of the fact that what the visitors wanted was something typical Of Al- aska and tbe Northiand and some thing different" That ! was right when | made my stock Of nugget jew elry and souvenir goods Is evidenced each time a party Of 'cheechacos' en- ter my store. All are loud in their praise and express their surprise at such a store and stock being in Sksg way
