greatly to his advantage. as he makes
a fine impression and gains strength

appeals to the people because of the
high plane upon which he bases It.

BEST SHOWING IN YEARS
The Outlook for Prices and

Naval stores men are happy They
haven't been quite so optimistic in
years. The reason Is that both turpen.
tine and rosin are bringing good prices
and the dem,ld is good. in fact, better
than II has been for a long time. The
lower grades of rosin are bringing al
most record Trices, though the better
grades are now getting prices compar.

The fact that the demand for naval

The Improvement in prices in naval
stores is attributed 20 several things.
The recent organization Of great cor
porationA. backed well financially to
conduct operations on a monster scale,
has already caused ,:e buying up Of
many thousands CT dollars worth OF
product The fact that production has
not been extremely heavy in the past
two years or since lhG outbreak of the
war. makes it possible for the pro-
ducers to demand good prices of the
factors.
Comparative figures showing the
condition of the marEet yesterday
compared with the saIne day year
ago are interesting.
The greatest advance has been in
rosin prices and demand. The highest
grade rosn, WV grade. yesterday was
quoted at $G.75 against the quotation
of $3.50 year ago, or an advance of

ENGLEHART. Ont, July 31.-For-
est fires raging in Northern Ontario
are believed to have resulted in the
loss of from $50 to 200 lives. Scores
of persons have been injured and it
is feared many of them will die.
Several small towns have been wip-
ed out by the flames that have been
raging for As hours. Reports thus far

Falls Is dead and many injured and
Hamore Is dead. The number killed
at Porcupine junction is not known
but the entire town was destroyed
except the railroad station.
The death rate will materially in
crease, it is feared, by the victims in
outlying districts. There are appar-
entity well authenticated reports that
many prospectors, have been trapped
at Tashota and Kowash One farmer
and his ten children are known to
have been burned.
Nushka. a hamlet, consisting of
score of frame buildings and stores,

two streets in the tow wee saved.
Thirtyfour bodies are lying on

MANY DEMOCRATS FIGHTING
1t Is Pretty Safe, However, to
Predict That the Executive
influence Will Garry the Meas
ure Through to a Successful
Termination.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The sen
ate will take up the child labor bill
this week and under spur of de-
mand by President Wilson pass it
before adjournment despite opposi,
tion by Southern Democrats. Defeat
for the measure will be sought in eff
forts to attach as ri0er the immgra-
ton bill, which, with its literacy test,
it is believed might draw a presiden-
tial vote.
The main fight on the bill has
come from cotton manufacturers in
the South and from the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers. AS it
passed the house the measure pro
vides that there shall be no ship
ments to interstate or foreign com
merce of the output of mines or
quarries in which are employed chill
dren under 16 anC no products of
factories in which are employed chill
dren under IA. Opponents contend
the bill is unconstitutional.
Senator Robinson, who reported
the bill from the commerce commit
tee, said today he hoped to get it
before the senate by Tuesday, when
the pending appropriation bill will
have been passed.
After a conference between Chair
man Overman and President Wilson
the senate judiciary committee to-
day considered an amendment to the
Clayton antitrust law to postpone
for two years the effectiveness of a
section which after October 1g would
restrict dealings between railroads
and other corporations having com
mon officials or directors.
The plan is to delay putting the
section into effect pending investi-
cation of the entire railroad situa-
tion by the recently created joint CON
gressional committee. The proposed
amendment, which is earnestly de-
sired by the railroads, has the sup
port of the president, and efforts will
be made to pass it uring the present
session of congress.
