New Philippine Service. ..-.-
A commercial steamer service for
the ports of the southland, is the
latest addition to the numerous i'm
provements that the central govern
ment is introducing in that portion OF
the Philippines, and within a few
weeks the coastguard cutter Minda-
mao will be plying between the ports
of Jolo, Cagayan de Sulu, Southern Pa
lawan, Balabak and Borneo. This was
the statement given out by Mr.. Batch
elder, delegate to the secretary of the
interior. .-,..s.. -. III. -. -.
The department of Mindanao and
Sulu will have immediately charge OF
the service and a regular schedule OF
arrival at and departure from the
ports above named will soon be draft
ed. The steamers, for it is hoped to
have more than one in the line, will
be used primarily for the transporta-
ton of nipa from port to port, as there
has lately grown a demand for this
plant in the southland as result OF
the increasing number of immigrants
and settlers. h.. IL. ~.
Canadians Call for American Boycott.
vancouver, b. c., lumbermemn have
raised the question of asking the Aus
tralian government to give prefer
entail tariff on Canadian manufactured
lumber This is due to the fact that
nine-tenths of the lumber imported
into Australia from the American con-
tinent comes from the United States.
The Vancouver Trades Council, bear
ing in mind the attitude of the Austria
liam government to the products of
Oriental labor. has written to the Aus
tralian authorities pointing out that
British Columbia prepared lumber is
almost entirely manufactured by ORR
entail labor, while in the United States
mills only white labor is employed.
With few layover passengers to
be landed at Honolulu. the Togo Kisen
Kaisha S. 8. Tenyo Maru is due at
the port early tomorrow morning. 4
