FROM WASHINGTON

Assistant Secretary Curtis, of the
Treasury Department, is preparing
important orders regulating the duties
to be assessed on wood pulp and print
paper imported from Canana. One OF
the orders will dea! with shipments OF
pulp or paper composed wholly or in
part OF material out on raw or restricted
lands. Importers have insisted that
shipments containing any material cut
from private lands should be admitted
free. American pulp and paper manu-
facturers, on the other hand, have
maintained, that the entire shipment
should pay duty. The order to be issued
by Mr.. Curtis Will instruct collectors to
assess OH percentage basis, the facts
to be ascertained from attested certlt-
Gates showing the proportion of free and
duitable material in the pulp or paper.
The basis of the decision is that the
intent OF the pulp and paper provision
in the reciprocity bill was to retain the
duty upon imported articles upon
which restrictions had been placed by
the Canadian provinces and that this
principle should apply in the case OF
mixed goods.
Another order to be issued by Mr..
Curtis will apply to wood pulp from
New Brunswick. The solicitor general
of that province has notified the de-
partment that the old restrictions will
not apply to licenses whose licenses
are renewed prior to October !, 1911.
New Brunswick has a system OF
% year leases and annual Licenses.
Most OF these licenses are renewed in
August and are operative, in the pres
ent case, until October l. 1912. The
customs division therefore will issue
instructions for the free importation OF
pulp and paper manufactured under
licenses which have been renewed prior
to October /, 1911. Such licenses,
therefore, will enjoy the privilege Of
free export uutil October /, 1912, when
the New Brunswick law will become
fully operative and free exports must
cease, unless the province changes its
Law ia the meantime
Another order to be issued by Mr..
Curtis will continue until October 9,
1911, the period during which mechan-
ically ground wood pulp from New
fourdland may enjoy FREQ admission
into the United States. Newfoundland
also has passed a restrictive law,
but it was found that contracts had
been made which would work hard
ships without corresponding benefit to
any interest should the period Of ex-
port be restricted to thirty days. The
new arrangement, which is under the
law, has been made TO relieve the sitlia-
ton.

Avoid lnstiIling Fear.

Fear is the guardian instinct of

that are too timid, so that even the

not get their food and cannot leave

by the process of natural selection,
There is a certain amount of trust
