CHECKED DISQUALIFICATION
Hill Says Reciprocity is Valuable for
What II Prevented

ST, Paul. Mimi, July 26.-James j.
Hill, chairman OF the board OF direc-
tors Of the Great Northern Railway
company following the passage OF the
reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada, said in eff
feet that this country had profited
more by what it had prevented than
by what II had gained In the pass
age OF the measure the railway build
er say the last yestige of what he is
pleased TO term an imperial trade
federation disappeared before the
march OF an open and untrammeled
market. 1T is not what we have
gained by the reciprocity treaty that
is most important, but what we have
prevented Mr. Hill said In the
comment on the treaty, when il was
pending, nearly every argument, for
it spoke OF the good it would bring,
and il will bring good My views in
favor OF the reciprocity are so well
known that need not repeat them,
now that the Senate has acted favor
ably.
But the good that it will bring is
only the smaller consideration OF the
question What would have happen
ed il we had not passed the treaty?
That is the big question. There
would have been a revival of a move
for imperial federation and if we had
refused to trade with our good neigh.
Dor, our second best customer, and,
for our manufacturers, the best Gus
toner we have, We should have been
sorry for it in years 10 come, for the
opportunity was before us TO make a
favorable agreement with Canada and
it would not have been before us
again for many years If we had re-
fused il this time. That is why say
that, while the treaty will mean
much good for both the United
States and Canada-and believe
/ that it will stimulate trade on both
sides, and that it will not be long be
fore every one will see its benefits
and see that the wise thing to do was
to act favorably upon it-yet, afte;
ALL that is the secondary part There
is not the slightest doubt that ,he sit
uatiOn was such that had the vote In
the Senate been against II. the re
port would have gone over the world
and would have stimulated activitie:

are in the best geographical position
to handle, and in England it would
have meant the beginning Of actor

many carpenters do not even go to the
bother of building scaffolds, but depend
upon their ability to hold themselves
on the slope. If one had folding brack
cts, which would make roof shingling
simple and safe, fewer accidents of
this nature would be recorded. A
carpenter with pair Of folding brack
cts as part Of his equipment would
never be in danger of slipping or slid
ing from the roof while shingllng.
His equipment would consist simply of
a pair of brackets and board
The brackets. as Illustrated, are
made to fold up and are self sustain
ing That is, the board which fits fiat
against the slant OF the roof is spiked
to cling to the surface and it would
take a good deal to break ii loose
from its mornings. The spikes are
made Of ordinary screws with the
ends protruding one-quarter Of an inch
beyond the fiat board and filed to a
sharp point. Three Of these at the
lower end Of the bracket and two at
the upper end serve TO hold the brack-
cts firmly in position. A slight tap Of
a hammer will drive the brads In suf-
ficiently and when the scahiolding
board is placed across the brackets
the thrust, being downward. tends TO
push the points Of the spikes deeper
into the wood surface. 4 pair OF
brackets of this nature will sustain
the weight Of several men working on
the same board. The Illustration
shows clearly the construction Of each
