dred weight. This paper Immediately
sought to secure prices on car load
of print, only to be informed that this
agreement would never amount to
anything; that of seven paper manu-
facturers making this concession, only
one Of them manufactures print paper
at all and before that concern would
manufacture print paper at this stip-
ulated price, the government would
have to designate the prices the man
ufacturers should pay for wood pulp,
sulphite, coal, etc. One wholesale pa
per dealer refused to quote US at all on
print paper, advising US that we had
better place our order, the mill to
make shipment at it's own convenience
and the price to be set by the mill at
the time Of shipment. Another house
quoted US $3.50 per hundred, but in
formed the salesman that as it could
dispose of all the print it could secure
in smaller quantities at $500 per hun
dred, it was not particular about sell
ing an entire car load. So there you
have the sum and substance of the So
called agreement. The government is
now talking of engaging in the manu-
facture of print paper, guaranteeing
a fair price to users of print. This
might simplify matters and bring the
robbing manufacturers to time.

Kenmare Journal: Percy Trub.
shaw, of the Valley City Courier, is
giving the Senate credit for killing
legislation unfair to the newspapers
when the truth of the matter is, the
credit for the whole job belongs to the
body across the corridor. In fact, one
of the bills that would have put The
Courier out of business, in an official
capacity, was introduced in and pass
ed in the senate, and it was the much
despised house that saved the news
papers, and not the senate, as Trub
would have us believe. And this, by
the way, was one of Senator Eng
lund's pet measures. Other legisla-
ton effecting newspapers, was intro
duced in the house and killed by the
house committee, and the lordly SEN
ate, whom Trub. is trying so hard to
salve, never had a chance at them.
While admitting that the upper body
is sorely in need of few kind words,
we can't let them get by with this.

Tho Daily News in it's Wednesday
evening edition, takes the Independent
to task for our bulletin Of the day be-
fore announcing the rumored assassi-
nation of the Kaiser-in fact they
slapped our wrist twice, once in the
"news" columns and once in their
heavy editorial page. At least that is
the only conclusion we could come to
after reading the two witticisms re-
ferred to--although it is barely posi-
BILE that we did not clearly "get" their
hidden meaning. However, if we have
correctly interpreted the aforesaid
spasms and the Daily News really in
tended to chastise us, we will be COM
PEELED to plead guilty-we did have a
bulletin rumoring the assassination of
Kaiser Wilhelm, but in extenuation of
the serious offense we would plead
that the rumor was also current in
Winnipeg, the Twin Cities, Chicago,
New York and London, so "Why Not

to give the public the news while it is
in an unmildewed stage, occasionally
is apt to stub it's toe and in perfectly
good faith give the public "bum

some consolation to our worthy con-
temporary in realizing that they will
never be caught in like predicament.
When Give" news is gathered by the
scissor and fimsy route, no such dire
calamity will ever befall news pur-
veyor.
And to return to those quotations
again instead Of referring to our

u BOAT BEATEN OFF IN
BATTLE WITH STEAMER
Survivors of Coronado Reach
Halifax, N. S., and Relate
Thrilling Story of Fight.

Halifax, y. S.-Twenty- one survivors
Of the British steamer Coronado, which
was torpedoed $50 miles off the Irish
coast, arrived on a British steamer,
which picked them up nine hours after
the Coronado went down. Nine men
were lost by the capsizing of their life
boat.
The survivors reported they had
scarcely reached the deck of the rescu-
ing steamer than they witnessed a
thrilling battle between another tramp
steamer aud submarine, in which the
submarine probably received its death
blow. One of the COronadas men said:
II was looking aft when | saw what
looked to be a steamer coming up
astern. She was making pretty good
time considering the class that comes
around as cargo boats. ! took the
glasses and saw that the steamer was

a gush of water, and when the sea had

Britisher or whether she managed to
escape l cannot say. but this know
that the battle ended in a manner
which left little doubt as to who had
the best of it."
