owing to the abandonment by the

tractors. among whom was p. F. Rein

coupled in the minds OF some shrewd
observers with a project to build
railroad from Dillon. on the Denver &

division and the Colorado & Southern S

Moffat road. 126 miles west OF Den

that strong effort has been made
to finance such road. and that. If
success has not already been attained
1t is likely to be at any time. Physi'
cal conditions are ideal for such a
road, as the route follows the Blue
river at easy water grade for the en-
tire distance, which is As miles. 1t is
said that the road. If built, will be

the House providing for the division
of the state into seven coal mining
inspection districts. The bill provides
for the appointment Of four additional
deputy coal mine inspectors, one fer
each proposed district Of the state.
As proposed in a second bill the
mine inspection department Of the
state would consist of a chief inspec.
tor. seven deputies instead of four. a

PROBLEMS LAID BEFORE AMERl.
CAN CONGRESS AND CANA
DIAN PARLIAMENT.
TAFT SENDS MESSAGE
URGES PROMPT PASSAGE OF
TREATY BETWEEN THE
TWO COUNTRIES.

MISUNDERSTANDING less than ten
months after the initiation by Presl-
dent Taft of negotiations with the
Canadian government, there was laid
simultaneously before the American
Congress at Washington and the Cana
dian Parliament at Ottawa. a reciproc-
fly arrangement which. il approved.
will do much. in the opinion OF the
negotiators. to enlarge trade between
the United States and Canada.
The arrangements do not take the
form of treaty. and considerable
time will be saved in the closing of
the agreement, which can be made
effective by simple majority vote
In each of the two legislatures.
The animating purpose Of Secre-
tary Knox appeared to have been TO
procure reduction OF the high cost
oil living" by greatly enlarging the
free list so far as 1t relates to food
stuffs coming from Canada.
On the other hand, he procured a
notable abatement OF duties on a
number OF American products con-
sumed in Canada. Prominent among
these Is bituminous coal. which Is
now exported to Canada to the value
OF several million dollars annually.
There Is also q much better opening
for American farm machinery and
implements.
No less than 81 per cent OF the
Canadian goods imported into the
United States will benefit by consider
able reductions OF duties.
The intention OF the commissioners
to remove all duties on printing paper
and wood pulp was effected so far as
the Dominion government could do II
outside the limitations existing In the
laws OF the Canadian provincial gov
ornments imposing export duty on
wood cut on crown lands In Canada.
hut the American duty will lie only on
the comparatively small proportion OF
Canadian pulp or wood cut on such
crown lands.
The agreement. to become effective,
must be shaped as a law amendatory
Of the existing tariff acts in the United
States and in Canada. and it will re-
Guire sharp work to accomplish this
In the brief period remaining in the
present session Of Congress.
Urging the prompt passage OF re-
c.procity treaty between the United
States and Canada. President Tafts
special message said:
Identity OF interest OF the two peo-
pies, linked together by race, Ian
guage. political institutions and geo.
graphical proximity. are the chief
reasons for such reciprocity" The
President says he feels 1t is ''the wish
q. the American people that this coun-
try enter into a more intimate and
cordial relationship with Canada"
I'VE have reached a stage in our
own development that calls for a
statesmanlike and broad view of our
future trade status and its require
ments," he said. while equivalency
should be sought in an arrangement OF
this character. an exact balance of
financial gain is neither imperative
ror attainable," he said.
