Washington, June 1.-THE Cana
dian reciprocity bill was returned to
the senate, with several reports set
ting forth the diverse views of mem
bers of the finance committee.
The majority report was noncom-
mittal-neither for nor against. Sena-
tors Williams, Stone and Kern, Demo
Gratis, submitted a statement indorsing
the measure as half a loaf" and
therefore better than no tariff revision
at all, and urging it's acceptance with
out amendment, declaring proposed
additions to the bill intended to bring
about it's defeat
Two Oppose the Measure.
Senators La Toilette and McCumber
presented reports in opposition to the
measure.

both, but If | can't get both, then |
want the one | can get" Mr.. Williams
said. mot only is it true that l would,
as original propositions, favor most of
the amendments offered, but | could
easily write down several hundred
others that | would like to put upon
the statute books, reducing the bur-
den of tariff taxation upon the peo-
pie.
But l see no sense in refusing to

favor of it as an amendment to this

Farmer Called Scapeeoat.
Mr.. La Toilette says the bill makes
the farmer the scapegoat in the inter
est of the railroad, the miller, the
packer, the newspaper publisher. He
continues:
believe in reciprocity with Canada.
But protest against this proposed re-
vision of our tariff by executive man
date. protest against this diplo-
matte bargain that is masquerading in
the guise of reciprocity. 1t is not
reciprocity.
1t is not a fair exchange of taSiff
advantages between our citizens and
the citizens of Canada. 1t is a tariff
trade, conceived in special interest
selfishness, negotiated in secret and
brought into the open with the at
tractive label of reciprocity as a bid
for the favor Of the American public
"a people who believe sincerely in
reciprocity that is genuine.
Mr.. La Toilette declares his purpose
to offer resolutions embodHing ex-
tensive tariff revisions.

Douglas Gets ArteSian Bug and Subscriptions Are
 Being Raised
Douglas Internationally

After a consultation with Secre- tary GrlndeIl of the Chamber of
 Commerce c. F. Joyce, owning a
 homestead north of Douglas, has prepared subscription paper which
 he proposes to present to the bus mess men of Douglas, and the land owners of the Sulphur Springs val ley, asking that 3 sum of five thou sand dollars be subscribed for put
 ting down a test artesian well some
 where in the vicinity of Douglas.
 The money subscribed will not be payable unless as much as five thou
 sand dollars is secured. In that case
 the subscribers are to choose from themselves @ finance committee to collect the money, choose the loc2- tion for the well and attend to the business of having it bored to the required depth.
 The question of making a test of Artesian water possibilities has been discussed many times by the people of Douglas. and several efforts to raise the necessary fund for that purpose have been made in the past without success. Now Mir. Joyce proposes to make one more effort in this direction, and will not over look any of the citizens of Doug las in soliciting their aid in matter which is regarded as paramount in in Douglas.
 The recent success in obtaining an flow in the San simon val ley leaves hardly doubt, in the opinion of many. that an artesian flow can be obtained in the Sulphur Springs valley. and such an event would start a hurry up boom in this valley that would add very greatly 70

 Hauling ETarglade Soil in BaTges for Fertilizer

Wm. Taylor. of lowell, who Is
 connected with the junction mine
 returned from a trip to the Ever.
 glades of Florida the first part ot the week. Mir. Taylor speaks very highly of the soil, the climate and the geenral conditions down there. He purchased twenty acres Of Ever glade land few miles south of Lake Okechobee. and there is selling ae $50 an acre and he says some com panies are selling at s75 au acre. In speaking Of the country and the trip, Mir. Teylor had 8 very inter esting story to tell. and in answer to numerous questions said:
 T bought twenty acres five or six miles south of the Lake Okecho- bee. paying $50 an acre. which the company is selling on payments, g an acre down and s2.o0 a month. The soil is rich black muck. carry ing 2.2i ger cent nitrogen and the same everywhere. The country is level as a floor as far as the eye can
 
 feet deep near the lake. There was a good breeze blowing while I was down there, the ordinary clothing that I wear here being comfortable there. went down the South canal, also the Lauderdale canal, as 'ar down as fourteen miles on one. The big dredges. which cost s50,000 apiece, are working on all the canals south and from the points l reached on both canals one can see the dredges away to the south which are working north. The canals ought to be completed around ten orI twelve months. I never saw soil like It anywhere. A man can buy safely in the Evesglades without seeing 1t: in fact. all he can see Is water. the canals cutting through the country give one an idea of what the who'e country is and what can te expected. I saw many ba mana, orange, grape fruit groves and truck gardens. Northern and western people are going in there in large hunters and e~eryone I met there Is delighted with the soil. climate, and the tremendous possibilities.
 T cannot sec how the land can. eep from rising in value. Sugar cane, rice, oranges and grape fruit will prot ably be the big staple crops. Almost everything grows there. eycert that which requires a colder climate.
 There is practically no cost to the land; no stumps to grub, no gulches, and level as a ! western prairie. All that is neces- iary is 70 burn off the grass.
