President TAFT In CHICAGO
SPEECH TELLS OPPOSERS
OF Reciprocity.
Lumber Trust and Print Paper Makers
Real Opponents of His Proposed
Trade Plans Between Canada and
This Country-Thinks 1t Will Pass
in Congress-Says Public Is for It.

Chicago.-President Taft, in a speech
before the Western Economic society
here, declared tina the principal oppo-~
sition to the Canadian reciprocity
agreement came not from the farmer,
but from the ''lumber trust'' and from
American manufacturers of print paper.
In one of the most vigorous addresses
he has ever made ON the subject the
president outlined some of the methods
employed by the opponents of reci-
procity, practically told the farmers
that they were being "buncoed' by
special interests and said the fate of
the agreement rested, not so much with
the United States senate as with the
people of the country.
eff the farmer and the country at
large" he said, "could be brought to
understand that this treaty was in the
interest of the majority of the people
1 would no longer fear the coming vote
IN the senate"
The president was not sparing in his
words. He told the reasons for the
opposition to the treaty by the "lum-
Der trust" and by the paper manufac-
turers and, without using names,
scored a New York firm, some of
whose members recently appeared at
the hearings before the senate finance
committee in Washington ostensibly in
behalf of the national grange and OBJ
jected to the enactment of the agree
ment.
In spite of the forces that are arrayed
against it, the president expressed the
belief that the agreement would become
a law.
"The bill, F" he said, twill pass if it
passes at all because of the force of
public opinion in its favor"

High Schools Partake.

The high school relay promises to be
a big hit with a four-man team from
each high school in the state of Ore
gon. Athletics in the various high
schools has grown wonderfully in the
past five years and there is not a school
of any pretension in the northwest that
does not boast of a school track team.
Each year the big colleges, the State
University at Eugene, and the Oregon
Agricultural College at Corvallis,
sponsor meets at which the state cham
pionships are held for high school boys,
paying the expense of a six-man team.
This has fostered an athletic spirit
such as no other thing is capable of
doing, and when the crowds gather in
the old baseball grounds in Astoria,
which have been made over into an up
to-date athletic field, they will witness
the best efforts of the best type of
Oregon boy.
While the date has not been definitely
arranged, it is very likely that August
&c, which falls on Saturday, will be
finally selected.
