CANADA FRIENDLY
 SAYS R. 1. BORDEN

New York, December S.-Robert L. Bor-
 den, the new premier minister of Can ada; James Bryce, the British ambassa- dor to the United States; Governor J. A. Dix of New York, and Robert c. Smith, kings counsel of Montreal, were principal speakers at the fifteenth annual dinner of the Canadian society of New York to- night.
 Mir Borden said Canadians were not insensible to the danger that great na-
 tional resources might pass into the hands of an oligarchy of wealth and be | used for the oppression of the people lTIn this and other respects,'' he said we hope to profit by your experienced" , The speaker ventured the guess that his hearers had heard something of the
 recent reciprocity campaign. Permit me to assure you that the result was not due in any sense to a spirit of unfriendli- ness to this great country he said.
 He pointed to Canada's long standing offer to the United States of reciprocity in natural products and how in 1886 d reciprocity proposal was denounced when Canada felt almost completely dependent on our markets.
 That feeling has long since passed away he said, "and will never return. r For 30 years we have pursued certain na- tional ideals and policies which we firmly intend to pursue. We reached the con- clusion that the recent proposals were in consistent with those proposals and poi- cies. Moreover we entirely dsbelieved in the framing of tariffs by diplomatic methods"

OKLAHOMA STILL
 HAS PLENTY 0F GAS
Population of Oil Fields Is Inclined to Resent
 HaWOrth's Statement

Tulsa, Okla, December S-(Special)-
 Practically the entire population of the
 oil and gas. fields of Oklahoma is dis
 Haworth, state geologst of Kansas, who
 attempts to show that the natural gas supply of Oklahoma and Kansas is fast
 dwindling away, that less than 43,OoO,e0o daily feet now exists in Okla homa, and that within three years this cheap nat
 ural fuel which is TOW enjoyed by the
 residents of this field will be an unknown
 quantity. Oil and gas men, business men and
 others who have studied the subject claim that Haworth's statement is not true;
 and that the extent of the gas field is only just now being realized. Against Haworth's report they cite the recent re- port of Professor Gould, state geologist of Olsls homa, who after six years care full study and personal investigation, states-that the Oklahoma gas field is widening every month and that new pools will be found 25Syears hence. He points out that from Ponca City to Forum, and from the Kansas line south to the Cana QldH llNti, pIdtliCdlN lo,uuU oqudlt iUliOSf is proven gas territory; and that not one fiftieth of the gas production of the state has yet been developed.
 The annual report for 1910 made by H. C. James of Independence, Kans., shows that 201 gas wells drilled during the year, and on December 31 the daily gas pro- duction of Oklahoma was l, ,225, GOO coo feet. This is more than 30 times the estimate of Professor Haworth. One single Okla homa gas company has shut in and held
 as reserve between 500,000,O00 and 600, 900 900 feet Of gas within 25 miles of this city. As showing how lame is Haworth's re- port, well informed men call attention to the fact that almost during the time he was busy preparing his report the
 daily producing capacity of new wells has added not less than 60,000000 feet a day to the available gas supply of the state.
 i3, ,00O00O feet of gas day. These five immense ga.ssers are ated as follows: Gladys-Belle well on section 16-lS-13; Old Hickory Oil company. Myrtle Doyle allot-
 ment, section 21-13-14. 15,000.000 feet at a
 depth of 1530 feet; 101 Ranch Oil com
 pany in township D, range ?, near Ponca City, 6.O0O000 feet of gas at $50 feet depth John DwYer Of Tulsa, 100000 gasser near Lenapah and Broach & Co.,, on the Carl Harris land in Delaware field, 5000
 GOO feet of gas. There are several other smaller wells.
 Experienced gas men call attention to
 the fact that. while eastern fields usually
 have but one producing sand here in
 Oklahoma usually two and frequently
 four producing sands are found in a we'll They are absolutely confident that
 the natural gas supply of Oklahoma is
 good for 40 or 50 years, and some men
 say for a much longer period of time.

BOURNE FLAWS PRESIDENT
IN SENATE SPEECH

Washington, Feb. 28.-President
Taft, by inference, was charged to-
night with using his appointive powers
to intimidate members of congress.
The inferred charge was made in a
speech in the senate by Senator Jona-
than Bourne of Oregon, president of
the New Progressive Republican
League, and until recent trouble over
an Oregon appointment, the intimate
friend and golfing companion of the
chief executive.
The surprising thing was that al
though all of the senators construed
his remarks as an attack on the presi-
dent, not a word was uttered in reply.
The Beverly letter, in which Secre-
tary Norton said the president had
withheld federal patronage from GER
tain senators and congressman, but
would discontinue that practice. was
brought into the limelight. On pre-
vious occasions, insurgent senators
threatened to read this letter, but until
tonight no public reference had been
made to it.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information Of Importance to Everyone

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some know.
ledge of physiology and the care Of the
body, particularly those parts that do
the most work and should always b
kept strong and healthy.
In an interview with a. prominent
physician he states that people should
pay more attention to their kidneys ~
they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system BY
hltering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich,
heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such ~
lame back, inability to hold urine,
smarting or burning, brick-dust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
may be weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing NO
minerals or opiates has the most healing
influence. An ideal herbal compound
that has had remarkable success - =
kidney remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
