OF Secretary and Treasurer

of Trade has been accepted and the
offices of secretary and treasurer of
that institution have been combined
into one office known as that of sec
retary-treasurer. H. V. D. King.
holding the office of secretary before
the change, has been chosen secre-
tary-treasurer and complying with
one of the bylaws he has been bonded.
The board deemed the change advis-
able owing to the fact that all the
records and books OF the board are
kept in the Office of Mr.. King and
compliance with the bylaw providing
for the bonding of the secretary
treasurer was thought best owing to
the fact that the board as result
of the recent large increase in mem

officials of the National Window
Glass Manufacturers Association have
called meeting of window glass
manufacturers for Wednesday, Feb.
ruary I, at 10 o'clock in the Fort Pitt
hotel at Plttsburg. The Glassworkei
says tina. the principal question that
will be up for discussion will likely
be the tariff problem, but there are
several other weighty questions that
will be taken up during the session
On this account it is thought that a
thoroughly representative meeting
will result, quite a number of manu-
facturers having already signified
their intention of being present. This
will probably be the most important
gathering held for many months and
a full attendance is desired.

Can Not Be Touched BY the
State of New York for
Power Purposes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The recon-
mendation of New York States Con-
s'rvaticn Committee that laws be
passed permitting the state to develop
its own water power has nothing to
do with Niagara Falls. The Niagara
river being boundary stream, the
falls have been taken under the pro-
lection of the national government
and the beauty of the spectacle has
been preserved for all time by means
of treaty with Canada.
1t Is to interior lakes and streams
that the recommendation OF the con-
servation committee relates. Aside
from Niagara there is vast unused
water power in New York state, es-
pecially in the Adlrondacks. The
conservationists want the state 10
render this power available at such
reasonable charges as will yield a
public revenue and stimulate the de-
velopment of industries"
Permanent protection to Niagara
Falls as scenic spectacle is assured
by the treaty between the United
States and Canada. The waterways
treaty, as it is called, was concluded
after exhaustive tests by engineers
and places definite limit upon the
quantity of water that can be diverted
