in betterment of the existing conditions.
1t Is estimated that from ten to fifteen

Accident Hastens Action.
The work done by the motor boat Old
Glory last fall and winter, in enforcing
the navigation laws and bringing about
in the oyster fleet on the Chesapeake led
the Department of Commerce and Labor
in March to consider the question Of buy
ing motor launch for permanent use on
the Chesapeake bay, the Potomac, Kappa
hammock and James rivers and other
waters. and the recent accident on the
Potomac, in which two lives were lost,
prompted the decision OF the authorities
to secure a boat at once.

be used for no other purpose. A forest investment Is long time affair. With proper perfection it Is safe and requires little attention upon the part of the in- vestor during the time that it runs. Four per cent is satisfactory in wide va riety of investments which are attended by small risk and extended over a long time. For these reasons 4 per cent has been chosen as conservative In forest cal eulations.
 In respect to white pine, the conclusion is drawn that the growing of this timber should yield from f to per cent com pound interest for 40 to 70 year invest ment with land and stocking costing not IT. ore than $10 per acre Lobolly pine offers return of per cent for invest nents from 80 to 50 years, Red oak, yell low poplar and Douglas fir bring remun- erative prices. It is probable that cotton wood, red gum, southern white ask and redwood have rate of growth which vii, soon cover the cost of growing.
 The conclusion is drawn, however. that at present timber growing is a highly un- satisfactory business for the farmer or aericulturist as the prices maintained by lumber barons and the manner of manipu- l+ting competitive conditions absolutely closes all markets. Until government su- pervision or regulation of timber grow ins selling and timber growing is adopted, the business for small capital 1t is stated, would not be remunerative.

Canada in the West Indies

From the Washington Post.
 The audacous Canadians report prog ress in the movement having in view the commercial annexation of the British West Indies. with which this country has been carrying on profitable trade reIa- tions. The lure is preferential agree ment which gives the islands in question better bargains than are obtainable under prevailing arrangements with this coun- try, but the failure to induce Jamaica to throw the United States over and join the combination leaves the victory only half won. Our products are better adapt ed to Jamaica's needs than Canada can offer. and the matter of cheaper trans portation rates to Canadian ports is not sufficient inducement to the Jamaicans to make the change.
 The prosperity of Porto Rico and Cuba. growing out of their advantageous posi- ton under our tariff laws. aroused the Lesser Antilles to action in the matter of preference, and they were not ready to listen to Canada's proposition. The principal item of loss to our interests under the new arrangement will be the flour trade. This is now in our hands, but. of course, if the Canadian article is ob- tainaDle at lower figure. the orders will go there.
 The damage so far done is as we say, not great but if these outposts of the Panama canal share in the boom that awaits the opening of the canal in as large a measure as they are figuring on, another face will be put on the matter. The United States might step in now with the "big stick" of the tariff law and smash the combination. as everybody ac- in other quarters have been overlooked. it knowledges. but as similar provocations 1t does. not seem probable that pressure will be brought to bear until something worth while moves our amiabie diplomatic authorities to bring the maximum clause to bear on the situation.

For the man who has put his millions into
advertising to lower the quality fhis goods,
to deceive the public, would be like setting fire
to his millions without any insurance.

which he has promised.
