Young Urfes Free Lumber

Washington, June 22.-Representa-
tive Young, North Dakota, republican
member of the ways and means COM
mittee, declared in statement that
people who wanted free lumber will
be sadly disappointed if the tariff bill
soon to be reported, is enacted in its
present FORM"
In demanding that lumber be re
tanned on the free list, Mr.. Young
said: ~,
'sThose of us Who think that
tariff laws should be written along
cautions lines believe that all indus
tries suffering from foreign compe-
tition should be protected, but the
claims for protection Of those which
have done tremendous business
during recent years, such as the
lumber industry, which are quite
now simply on account Of the gen.
eral slump in domestic business
and not on account Of foreign COM
petition, may well be scrutinized. We
ought to be making protective law
for ten-year period rather than to
meet the expectations Of those suffer-
ing temporarily from buyers
strike"

JOHN HOLMES
PASSES AWAY

It is with keen regret that the
Times Record received telegram this
morning FROM w. F.. Dunlap from
Portland, Oregon, announcing the
death last night at $40 Of our former
John Holmes. Mr.. Holmes
was one Of the very early pioneer set
tiers of Barnes county. coming to Val
ley City in the early spring Of 1880.
He built store on the ground now ocz
cupied by the Bank Of Valley City and
operated the same until three years
ago when he sold the building and site
to the bank. Since that time up to
about two weeks ago he left for Port
land, being at that time very frail in
health and very feeble. Friends here
did not. think he would even survive
the trip when he left. He has been
sick for long time and was going
down very fast up to the time he de-
cided to join his sister at Portland.
In the passing way-of John Holmes
has gone a man who all through his
residence here, has had won many
warm personal friends. He was
friendly, conscientious business man
and one we would call ION the square"
at all times. He was familiar figure
here and his going has left vacancy
among a large circle of friends
that will take a long time, if ever, to
fill. John Holmes was member Of
all the Masonic bodies of this city. He
was a Mason in deed as we'll as in
words always striving to do the best
things in life and holding up the best.
The Times-Record joins with many
personal friends in EXPRESSING svn1.
pathy to those relatives in Portland
former residents here, in this hour of
their deep grief. He has been d.
rector of the First National Bank Of
this city ever since that institution
started, was county treasurer -Four
years, county administrator several
years, and was grand high priest Of
the Masonic Chapter.
