committee having the matter in charge.
In the meantime, however. steps are to be
taken to induce the Capital Traction Com

are concerned.
Think Government Should Pay.
The movement to secure pension fund
for the police and firemen received the in
dorsement of the association. but it was
thought that the fund should be entirely
appropriated by Congress
The association has been working for
several months In an endeavor to induce
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company to extend It's line along Nichols
avenue and the District line, and thence
to the Washington Ordnance Company's
plant at Gies5oro point An interview
was held with II. w. Fuller. general
manager of the line, and from the con-
versation ii would appear that the COM
pany does not deem it advantageous to
extend its lines at this time. The mem
beers say they are determined in their
fight. however, and expressions that such
a road would be in operation in q short
time were made at last nights meeting
The commissioners will be requested to

I Items from the Budget of this week in 1901


The C. R. & M. mill will not run this
season as the company have sold their
hardwood logs to the Beldenyille peo-
pie, who will have the logs shipped to
their plant to be manufactured.
Rain is needed.
Smoke from forest fires can be seen
in all directions.
The c. R. &. M. sent the "Dinky"
to Glen Flora Monday to take up the
steel on the Glen Flora & Northern for
the 500 and will also bring back the
logging cars that were in use there.
Mrs. ]. Webb spent a few days here
the past week with her husband, who
has the job of building the new spur
for the G. r. & M. into Bass Lake.
The proposition to divide the county
of Chippewa and create the county of
Gates met with some opposition in the
Assembly Thursday. 1t was on the
calendar for advancement. It appears
from the debate that Mr.. Gates offered
$40, 900 for court house if the PROPOSE
ton goes through.

When you hear a Standpatter shout
ing that Lenroot and the other Insur-
gents are inconsistent in opposing Can
adam reciprocity, just ask him to
specify the provisions of the reciprocity
agreement which will benefit the peo-
pie generally and note the celebrity
with which he closes his face or chan
ges the subject. 1t is easy to rant
about our sister country, neighborli-
ness and the benefits of increased
trade, but the average man is no long
er satisfied with glittering generalities.
When change in law is proposed he
wants to know just what change is
wanted and reasons why the change is
desirable. In all of the newspaper
spouting on the subject of reciprocity
we fail to find any detailed information
as to how the people of the United

Even the Standpatters have begun
undertaking. Representative Foster,
of Anticipated Vermont, charges that
the interests" are responsible for the
agitation in some quarters over the
Japanese war scare. He says that the
shipbuilding trust uses this scare to in
duce Congress to purchase additional
battle ships. Perhaps he is right 1t
would be in line with the customary
tactics of the big grating corpora
tons. The only strange thing in this
connection is the fact that a Stand
patter should speak out in "meetin"
against the interests.
