s,rIcs Trees Nursed by Pines.

A singular fact with regard to the re-
latIons Of different species OF trees mas
been brought out by the reforestatlon
Of the peninsula Of Jutland, Denmark.
It was observed that when planted
alone spruce trees did not prosper.
but that If Il spruce was planted near
q mountain pine it grew up vigorously.
Further experiment has shown that II
the pines are placed near the spruces
at the beginning and after being al
lowed to grow together with them for
a few years are cut down the beneht
to the spruce continues. The pnenom-
enon is not understood, says Prores-
sor J. W. Harshberger, but 1t Is sup
posed that the roots Of the mountain
pine are inhabited by some mycorhlza
which produces the nitrogen needed by
the trees and that this organism IL
transferred to the roots Of the sur
rounding spruce. Once the infection
has taken place the presence or the
pine is no longer necessary.

FROM WASHINGTON.

/ Congress will be confronted now with
the problem of the high cost OF living
when it meets next December. This is
the universal opinion in Washington
today, based on Canada's rejection OF
the reciprocity agreement. In his reci-
procity speech in Chicago several
months ago President Taft expressly
stated that the passage Of the agree
ment by Congress and by the Canadian
parliament would have no immediate
effect on the cost OF living. Members
Of the House and Senate, however, who
favored the measure took an opposite
view OF the matter, and so declared
themselves in the debates. Many peo-
pie we're led to entertain the idea that
reciprocity would lower prices, especial
| ly in the big cities. So the high cost
OF living is already looming up to
plague the politicians.
1t has been aggravated by the sensa-
tional rise in the price OF sugar. 1t
seems more than probable that the
sugar schedule will be one OF the first
to receive consideration, while large
number OF free meat bills, introduced
in the last Congress are certain to be
busted off and reintroduced. Demo
Gratis point TO the fact that only the
democratic House can initiate tariff
legislation and that no time will be lost
in selecting schedules which effect the
present high prices of the necessaries
OF life. A republican, who is thor
oughly familiar with the plans Of the
stand.pat republicans made the predic-
ton today that on the first day OF
the next session Of Congress bill
would be introduced repeating the reci-
procity agreement from the enacting
clause to the end. Inasmuch as all OF
the agreement could not become effect.
i've until it had been accepted by Car!
ada such bill would not be necessary
were it not for the fact that some of the
stand-pat republicans are determined
to deprive the newspapers OF the coun.
try OF the free wood pulp and print
paper section OF the agreement. As
the agreement passed the House and
Senate that part OF it relating TO wood
pulp and print paper was an independ-
ent section, and became law when
President Taft signed the reciprocity
bill.

Lawrence 0. Murray, comptroller OF

examiners has greatly improved during
the last year, there is still room for i'm
provement in the force and it is his
wish to work the men personally in or

More than two hundred republican
progrcssives will assemble in Chicago
on October Is Tor the purpose OF map
ping out definite campaign to make
Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of Wis
consin. the republican candidate for
the presidency,in 1912. Announcement
to this effect was made today by Walter
l.. Hauser, manager OF the progressive
headquarters in this city. Mr.. Hauser
declared that the progressive movement
had grown to such proportions that it
is no longer possible to handle it by
correspondence or by personal inter-
views throughout the country with
representatives from his Office.
One Of the most important subjects to
be brought before the conference will
be relating to the fiances Of the cam.
paign. The managers OF the La Fol
lette boom declare that their work has
ow'reached, point where the control OF
the next republican national CONVEX.
ton is no longer regarded as an inn
possibility. The scope Of the work in
behalf OF Ia Toilette has broadened to
such degree in the past few weeks
that it has been deemed desirable to
bring the progressive leaders together.
As result OF this decisiou Mr.. Hauser
has invited about two hundred pro-
gresSive leaders in the various states to
meet him in Chicago. Although
organization work is now going
on in nearly every state in the union it
is believed that fixed policy OF cam
pagniug and financing will be agreed
upon at the Chicago conference. H.
formation was received at the progress
sive headquarters today that the repub-
lican insurgents in Massachusetts, will
make an effort to amend the primary
law at the next session OF the legisla-
ture in thai state with view to giving
the voters the right to express their
preference for presidential nominees.
The plan is to put it through in time to
have it effective before the next ma
tional convention in order that the La
Folettee sentiment 10 Massachusetts
may find expression in the election OF
instructed delegates to the republican
convention.
