CANADA READY ID
 ADOPT PACT
SETTLEMENT OF RECIPROCITY ISSUE ANTICIPATED IN
 NEAR FUTURE.

OTTAWA. April 16.-A favorable win he United States is looked for by members of the Dominion gov trnmcnt not long after parliament reassembles on Wednesday. The rap id progress being made at Wash ingtOn, and the prediction that the agreement will be before the senate by next Thursday have been noted here with satisfaction by the gov ernmont supporters.
 Settlement of the reciprocity is sue in Canada they believe now de pends primarily upon action at Wash ingtOn. Any assurance that con Sress will ratify the agreement may be coupled, they say. with the as surance that the Canadian parlia- ment will do it's part as soon as the passage of the agreement on the other side of the line is certain.
 The Canadian government, backed by d majority of more than forty in the house, is pledged and anxious to put the agreement through as soon as the Conservative opposition per mits vote. Ratification then by the senate would be merely matter of | form, since the governments sup porters in that body outnumber the Conservatives three to one.
 Until, however. the agreement is ratified by both American branches the fight against it in the Canadian house will be continued by Mr. Bor- den's adherents along the lines fol lowed the past six weeks. But their stubborn resistance admittedly is be- ing kept up only in the hope that the situation may be saved from the Conservative point of view by sec ond failure of the senate at Wash ington to pass the American part of the agreement.
 There has been a decided modera- tion during the last few weeks of the free opposition at first waged against the agreement The resent ment aroused by ill-advised annexa- tion talk has practically disappeared. and members of the government as sert that some of the Conservative representatives of rural constituent cies have been under strong pres sure because of their allaged alarm ist attitude on the subject.
 In large centers like Montreal and Toronto where the prOtectonist el- ement is strongest, the fight against the agreement is beinng continued by Conservative press and speakers But it is admittedly by some mem- bers that their fight against the prop osition in the prairie provinces and in the nonurban parts of Eastern Canada will not prove to have won them votes.
 Addressing his constituents in Mor den. Manitoba, on Thursday, for in stance, w. H. Sharpe, a prominent Conservative member of the house, admitted that he knew all he had to do to make himself safe in his seat was to vote for reciprocity.
 Other Western Conservatives are

in practically the same position. but have stated that they will continue to abide by the decision of their party caucus and fight the agree ment To the end. There may be two or three members of the opposition representing rural constituents who will deem discretion the better part of valor, and if forced to vote. break from their party and go with the Liberal ranks for reciprocity. These will be cOunterbalanced hy the action of three Liberals who al ready have declared against the agree ment. Aside from these defcCtiOns the issue is still a straight party one so far as the house is concerned.
 There is no method by which the government can force closure of de bate under Conservative leaders af- ter conferences of the Easter recess have decided to continue obstructive tactics by prolonged discussions The prevailing opinion. however. appears to be that if Washington passes ia vorably upon the matter he opposi- ton will not persist in whatever intention il may have had to talk the measure to death or to delay its ratification until the middle of May. when Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the prime minister. plans to sail for London to attend the colonial conference and the coronation.
 The debate will be resumed when day There will be a Liberal caucus on Thursday. and so certain are the members of the government that the reciprocity proposal now has the endorsement of the great majority of Canadians that the Liberal members will be urged to expend little time in defending their position in the house
 The burden of continuing the de bate and thus preventing a vote will be left to the opposition members.
 The prime minister i, hopeful that if ratification has not actually been completed by both countries by May 12 there will be such certainty of its accomplishment within a few days as to warrant his departure on that date for London. Otherwise he will probably nrt leave Ottawa. but will depute Sir Frederick Borden. Min BrOdeur. Minister of Marine and of Naval Affairs. to represent Canada at the conference.

With the new dog ordinance work ing as well as it apparently is at present there appears to be no good reason why il should not be con tinued in force throughout the year. instead of for only six months. II is really a fact that there have been more persons attacked during the winter months than in summer, and the ordinance would help rather than if would clear the streets of the idle dogs that cause trouble for his team. l. would also insure more humane treatment for the dogs.

A striking commentary on the oft repeated statement of Republicans that the administration of the past fifteen years has induced prosperity and been economically conducted is furnished in the news item to the effect that Secretary of the Treasury MaCNeagh has been forced to SO licit bond issue of fifty million dollars to provide funds to conducs his department. But fortunately it is entirely probable that when some of the investigations being launched by the Democrats will have been made there will be a stoppage of many of the leaks that have made such bond issues necessary.

The fact that prices of stocks went soaring on the day the an nouncement of the adverse decision on the Standard Oil by the supreme court was made would indicate that advance tips had. as usual, been re- ceived and Big Business was en- abled to prepare itself in time. The use of very ordinary common sense would enable anyone to figure out for himself that drop in the prices of the many stocks controlled by the
 big trust must inievitably come as a result of the disruption of the cor

THE GAME LAW.

or the many inefficient laws appli- cable il Alaska there are few more unjust 10 the people of the Interior than the game law and none which could be more easily adapted to conditions here without in any way adversely interfering with the in terests of the government or any of the residents of the country.
 It k d well known fact that the people of the Interior are deniel ;he enjoyment of fresh meat 10 a very considerable extent by reason of its high price With beef. pork and nut ton averaging about 55 cents pound there are many families that have to fall back on the less healthful can ned food and the restaurants have been compelled to maintain scale of prices much higher than they would otherwise have done had there been any real competition existing between the puryeyors of their sup plies
 And this condition exists i'll the face of the fact that there is an abundant supply of the finest kind of meat practically going to waste in the neighbOrhood. Every year. if the law permitted it. there would be brought in for sale a sufficient supply of moose. caribou and Ii odn- tain sheep to permit of it being sold at 20 cents q pound, and to force the meat combine, by competition, to cut its prices in half.
 Some will say that if the hunter is allowed 10 kill all he wants to it would lead to the annihilaton of the game in a few years. because the animals would be wantonly slaughter ed Fortunately there is no danger If this, even within a reasonable radius of Fairbanks for the game is so abundant as to warrant the be lief that the supply could not be re, duced materially for many years even if the number of hunters was very considerably increased.
 No one however. would suggest that the lid should be lifted entirely and the hunter permitted to indulge in WantOn slaughter, and there is nc necessity that this should be done 10 afford relief in the circumstances It would be only necessary to stipu late that no person would be al lowed to kill more than he could use himself or market; or to permit the killing Of a fixed number of caribou mountain sheep or moose, and the sale of the meat throughout the win, ter II the present limit were trebled there would be employment furnished for scores of men in the hills, and the meat supply of the camp would be adequate to its needs and obtana | ble at a fair price. No harm would be done to anyone except the cor poratiOns which have been enabled to retail the Outside meat at eXorbi tant prices for many years, and the mining operations of the district could be carried on at considerably reduced cost.

NEGLECTED ANIMALS
Aroused Ire of Residents of
East End Neighborhood.

Upon leaving for California last Oc-
tober Alfred Underhill stabbed several
Shetland ponies in his barn on North
Twentieth street and it is said ar
ranged for an ear of corn and some
water being given them occasionally.
Other than this no care was given the
animals it is alleged and recently the
health department ordered about two
feet of manure removed. On Saturday
morning, DR.. T. Henry Davis, the city
health officer, received letter from
Underhill, postmarked California, in
which he informed the health officer
that hereafter If he had any notices
to serve on him (UnderhilD they must
be through the California courts, as
Underhill claimed not to have any
agent in Richmond.
The filthiness of the stable was
such that the stencil permeated the
entire neighborhood and aroused the
residents to SO high pitch that they
started an investigation. When they
found the ponies literally wading
about in their stalls. the atten-
ton of the police and health depart
ment was directed to the case. The
stable was cleaned up and those who
had been caring for the animals were
cautioned to keep the stable clean.

WORKS FOUR YEARS
WITHOUT ANY PAY

Peru, Ind, Feb. 1S.-H. p. Pike. an
architect of this city, has found him.
self in predicament which may cost
him $4,1lO In 1906 he was employed
by the board of county commission
ers to superintend the construction of
the new courthouse, which has just
been completed. Two years later the
commissioner rescinded the order.
and had it's action placed on record.
1t was then understood that Fike was
to be employed by the architects, Leh-
man & Schmitt, of Cleveland.as the
contract specified that the architects
should have local representative to
superintend the work. Now. with the
courthouse finished, Fike has put in
his bill for S22 days at So day only
to find that he has not been in the EN-.
ploy of the county.
When the order employing him was
rescinded by the commissioners the
auditor was instructed to notify Fike
through the sheriff. Fike says that
he was never notified. His claim has
been refused and litigation will likely
follow.

AN EXTRA SESSION

Washington. Feb. 1S-The senate
finance committee postponed consid-
Grafton of the Mccall Canadian recip.
rocity bill today. The delay is credit.
ed to the enemies of the bill.
After first deciding to give no hear
ings on the Mccall bill until Wednes-
day. the committee rescinded its ac-
ton and decided to grant hearings on
Monday and Tuesday next. On
Wednesday the committee will NEE;
for final action. This decision came
as a result of many pleas from those
opposed to the measure. II is feared

chiefly from oranges and other farm
organizations and lumber interests
There is now no possibility of getting
the measure into the senate before
Wednesday and report then. If made.
would go over until Thursday. That
will leave only seven legislative days
during which it must be considered
along with many other important
things. In view of the action of the
committee today the senators are
more tudu ever lHClIHSu 10 OSIcNS
| that an extra session is necessary if
the president insists on action upon
the agreement before next December.
| The only chance of getting the bill
through at this session is an agree
ment on the part of obstructionists
not to talk and filibuster against it.
There is unquestionably majority of
the senate in favor of the proposition
if it can be brought to vote. but 1t
lies within the power of two or three
radicals to defeat 1t by talk If they
see fit to do so. Pressure is being
brought to bear to make them see that
reciprocity is certain to pass in an
extra session and that, accompanying
it, will be Democratic revision of the
tariff. This is the only thing that will
force them to yield but even that Is
extremely doubtful but most senators
look for an extra session.

BALD HEADS POPULAR
WITH KAW WOMEN

Eli. Neb., Feb. 1S.-There now is
hope for the bald-headed man, and the
balder he is the greater his hope. The
Associated Women's clubs of Eli have
resolved in his favor
1t all came about at regular club
meeting a few days ago, when Mrs.
J. n. ROssou, matron who has been
married less than six weeks. limited
that. no matter what she might do.
she would never marry a bald-headed
man. This was treading on the toes
of the president, Mrs. E. E. Richmond,
and, as it developed later, it was
treading on the toes of eighteen men,
bers of the club
Hardly had Mrs. Rossou made her
remark when Mrs. p. c. McElroy Of
fercd resolution which set forth
when man becomes bald. in the
opinion of the sensible members OF
the fair sex. he stands higher than he
did when a luxurious growth of hair
covered his crown: that sensible wo
men, especially those of the Eli Wo
mems club, look upon bald-headed
men as being thoughtful and kind
trustworthy and confident. past the
follies and frivolties of youth; usually
successful men of property, not given
to running around nights, and, more
over. the bald head looks SO clean
white and pretty. that one could kiss
it without feeling of disgust"
The resolution was adopted unani
mouslv and Mrs ROSSou has resigned
her membership.

co. headed by Francisco l. MADEIRA

Gen. Navarro has returned to Juarez
after accompanying his troops but a
short distance. The commandant oi

of their immediate capture.
So hastily did Madeda and his pro
vincial secretary of state free from
Guadalupe that they left behind docu
mentary evidences of great value tC
the Diaz government. Among the
papers are letters from men who are
financing the revolution. Some ol
them are said to have been mailed in
the United States. Navarro's force
has been strengthened to nearly 1000
men and it is now believed that the
revolutionary board of strategy has re

General Orozco and Blanco leading the
Federals from one point to another
until the soldiers are worn out.
