Western Canada Pleased
With Action of Senate

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, July 22-West-
ern Canada took keen interest today in
the passage by the United States Senate
Of the Canadian reciprocity bill. The
fact that opposition in the Dominion par
Lament may prolong the discussion all
summer is a pleasing prospect to the
west. as that section will then have an
opportunity to express its sentiment
toward the measure A census will be
taken In western Canada In September.
and twenty members will be added to
its present thirty in the Canadian par
lament.
One of the best indications Of feeling
is the unanimous vote In favor of it by
the legislatures Of Alberta and Saskatch-
evan last winter.
Another barometer of public feeling
was the recent tour Of r. l. Borden.
the conservative leader. through the
western provinces. He addressed sew
enty meetings; two-thirds Of these pre-
scented resolutions favoring reciprocity
and none expressed itself as against
the agreement.
In Manitoba. Winnipeg Is the head
quarters OF opposition to the agree
ment. Boards of trade and grain ex-
changes have adopted resolutions hos
tile to reciprocity.
western Canada favors reciprocity
because 1t opens market OF ninety
million people to its products, will adj
vance the price OF land, increase i'm
migration and cement the friendship
of the two great peoples occupying
the North American continent.

BROKE ALL NAVAL RECORDS.
The Delaware Steamed to England
and Back Without Taking in Coal.

The splendid performance of the battle
ship Delaware on her cruise to and from
England, and s.nce her return to Ameri-
can waters. has been made the subject
of special report issued from the Navy
Department. The report strongly In
dicates q determination on the part of
the officials to equip future battleships
of like size and speed with reciprocating
engines instead Of turbines. The re-
markable feature of tho cruise was the
exhibition Of coal endurance far beyond
anything known In our own or any other
navy. The Delaware made the round trip
to England without taking on any stores
or coal. yet when she arrived in this
country she had sufficient fuel aboard to
steam 1900 miles farther.
This followed q similarly extraordinary
performance last spring. when. after re-
turning from q cruise Of 1850 miles to
Chile. the Delaware, with only q few
hours' notice. made Q full-powered trial
run Of twenty-four hours She had no op-
portunity for examination or adjustment
she averaged for the twenty-four hours
burning coal alone, q little more than her
contract speed OF twenty-one knots The
trial was In every way successful. there
being no arrangement Of the main en-
gines or auxiliaries during tho trial or
during tho Standardization runs which
followed.
THE record Of tho Delaware" says the
report. las briefly outlined hero u deemed
of importance as showing not only her
great efficiency and economy. but also the
superiority Of the modern reciprocating
engine as compared with the turbine for
vessels with q speed Of about twenty-ons
knots

John Morris Points Out Effect
of Paper Section in the Bill

John Norris, chairman OF the committee
on paper Of the American Newspaper
| Publishers Association, in statement
issued last night said:
! THE paper section Of the bill becomes
effective Immediately upon approval by
the President, and paper made from tim
Der cut on privately owned lands will
come in duty free without awaiting Ca
madam action. In that respect 1t differs
from the general reciprocity section,
which will not go into effect until the
President shall proclaim that Canada has
reduced its duties in accordance with the
agreement between the United States and
Canada
Setting forth what Mr.. Norris believes
will be the effect Of the paper section OF
| the bill, the statement says:
| AN important factor in the sttua-
| ton is the removal OF uncertainty re-
| specting the tariff on pulp and paper.
| which has, for at least four years. de-
| TERED investment in paper enterprises.
have been comparatively free from
| fear of competition. because tho timber
areas tributary to available water
power in the United States had been
acquired for speculative holdings.
1.-THE cheapening of timber value in
situation. The opening OF large pulp
wood areas in the Canadian provinces
should break the artihcially inflated
price of pulp wood stumpage In the
United States.
THE daily output Of news print pa
per averages 1000 tons Within two
approximately 1000 tons per day to the
supply. Such an addition ought to
restore competitive conditions"

in commenting tonight on the pas age OF
the Canadian reciprocity bill. He said he
believed ultimately the treaty would help
business. and continued.
1T does not follow that the movement
of grain from the western part of Cana
da will necessarily be diverted In great
quantities. There are numerous factors
that enter into that part of 1t. The at

If the liberals are returned with their

Cabinet Minister'S Statement.
One Of the cabinet ministers said to-
day: 1.-THE only thing that now stands
between the Canadian farmer and free
entry to the great American market is
the conservative minority in the house.
The harvest is approaching and Canadian
crops never promised a more bountiful
yield The farmers soon will have great
err quantities of produce than the home
market can absorb. l am confident that
there will be a demand from all parts
of the country for the passage Of the
reciprocity bill which the opposition
will find irresistible. If they persist in
obstruction by abusing the parlia-
mentary privileges of free speech, par
lament will be dissolved. and the people
will be asked to pass on reciprocity at
general election. The government is
confident that the country will demon
strate it's approval Of the measure by
returning the government with hand
some majority.

ATWOOD'S NEW MACHINE,
to Arrive in Washington
Not Later Than Wednesday.

Moth the Second" That is the name
vhich Harry n. Atwood. the aviator is
tanning to give his new aeroplane. The
nachine is being rushed to Washington
rom Boston and should arrive here not
alter than Wednesday. Atwood expects
o take his third aerial JOY ride over
he capital in the new craft probably not
alter than the middle of the week
The old Moth, which carried the aviator
on his triumphal visit to the White
House, and which was demolished in a
:torm which swept over the polo field
Friday night, was dssembled by At
woods mechanician, George f. Larson,
yesterday afternoon. Practically the only
,art Of the machine that resembled its
-ormer self was the engine. The wreck
Will be shipped to the Burgess Wright
factory, where parts of 1t will be used
n the construction of a new aeroplane.
Promises Real Thrills.
Atwood has promised residents of the
capital flight in the new biplane that
they will not forget. If he uses the
Washington Monument as pivot for his
next aerial maneuyers the populace Of
the city will hold it's breath while 1t
learns whether the Moth the Second can
futter about the big candle, always just
avoiding contact with the surface that
would mean its destruction, with the
same success that marked the flight Of
its predecessor.
The decision Of Atwood to telegraph
for the new machine was based on as
surances given him yesterday that a
purse of 5000 would be raised to be
presented to him upon the conclusion Of
his third flight. II the amount has not
been raised by the time the aeroplane
arrives the flight will be called off or
postponed. according to statements made
by the aviator yesterday.
At a meeting Of the executive COM
mittee Of the Chamber Of Commerce
held yesterday the subject of the
chamber presenting Atwood with a
purse was informally discussed. but no
a .tion was taken. Many Of the men,
bers put themselves on record as being
willing to subscribe to any private fund
that may be raised.
Chances for Fund Good.
The loss sustained by Atwood on ac-
count of Friday nights storm has cre-
ated no little amount of sentiment
generally In favor Of his being suitably
rewarded for the exhibitions he already
has given the city, and indications are
that the efforts being made to raise
fund of $4,000 will materialize.
While Atwood remains In the city ar
rangements for his proposed Chicago to
New York flight are being made, al
though the aviator refuses to discuss
Them He stated yesterday that he
probably will not attempt the long
cross country venture before October.

Senators Poindexter Of Washington and
Works Of California, recognized as insur-
