Most of the timber was acquired for a Mine. More men have gotten rich In the northwest through acquiring timber than in any other way. Why thouM we maintain a tariff on lum ber and shingles In order to further enrich them. Why penalise every home builder, every lumber dealer, every carpenter, every contractor.! every person who sleeps under a roof, !n order to make stiTT greater un earned profits for the Weyerhausers and their ilk? The way to restore prosperity to the shingle Industry In Washington la not to restore the tariff but to Insist that British Columbia shingles always be admitted free, of duty. Free trade In shingles and In lumber will in a short time lower the price of our standing Umber bo that our sawmills can then resume operations without any fear of Canadian competition. Alaskan advices report Lord Wil liam Percy has shot a "spectacled" eider duck after Spectacled Ducks, crawling on his belly half a mile to get within gun range of It. This species of duck, we are told, "has been supposed to be extinct." That supposition has not been shared by anybody resident in the big towns. Thanks to bad lighting, bad ventilation, gas and dust-laden air,- and the banishment of sound, healthful sleep by hideous, unneces sary noises, a majority of the dwellers in modern American cities are ap parently undergoing a transmutation Into spectacled ducks. The real news interest in the Al askan story is not the killing of the duck, but the fact that a Lord named Percy crawled half a mile on his belly to get within gun range of it. Still, perhaps he is not a real hunter, but only a fanual naturalist St. Louis Post-Dispatch. IIOXKU AM) His UltlDK STHAN !! IX JAPAN In view of Senatorial Candidate Booth' recent speech at Albany in which he tried to defend Mr. Ilooth's his timber land record Acquittal. a news story which this paper reprints today from the Weekly Oregonlan of April 11. 10S. is of much Interest. That tory relates to the indictment of R. A. Booth and his brother and gives a line on the operations that led lo those Indictments, It is a story every voter should take time to read. At Albany Mr. Booth boasted of the fact he was not convicted. The Ora fronian story of his indictment said. "The story has It that the sen ator (H. A. Booth) used his . brother as a tool in the forward ing of his plans for the acquire ment of valuable timber land and that on this account it has been a hard matter to land him in the embrace of the law." .N'ow the question is was Mr. Booth's acquittal due to innocence on his part r to the fact he had used his brother as u tool thus making it a "hard mat ter to land him in the embrace' of the law." Should Mr. Booth be a candidate for the I'nited States Fenatorship in view t the circumstances surrounding hi Indictment even if he did escape con viction? .

It nay be true. Hut why ran British Columbia sell athinglcs cheaper than can Washing ton? Labor is no cheaper in British Columbia than In this country. Their machinery does not run any faster.

It was explained that England and France would object to our purchas ing German ships. Nevertheless the program was ad opted by the cabinet and urged on congress with every' probability , the bill will soon become a law. Now comes from no less a person than Oscar Strauss of New York, who is in tngland, the statement the Eng- MRS. K lish have no objections to the move. He has talked with Sir Edward Grey and seems to know whereof he speaks. Instead of opposing the move the English favor it because it would help them secure some much needed American wheat Evidently the opposition to our ship ping program comes from American sources, not from abroad. Nor would it be hard to find the source of objection. Russian Captive Grieves. LONDON. Sept. 8. The Times St Petersburg correspondent telegraphs: " 'I am unworthy of wearing the uniform of a German naval officer and have sinned against the father land,' are the words uttered by" the unfortunate commander of the Ger man cruiser Magdeburg, which was destroyed by Russian warships In the Baltic on his arrival at St. Peters burg with two other officers and 80 German sailors. "The commander was among the first to step from the train, and seemed to De overcome with grief. When asked his name, he said, 'I have none.' These words and the opening sentences of the dispatch were all the eager questioners could get from him. "The sailors presented a sorry spec tacle, not so much for lack of spirits. for they were comparatively loqua cious, but owing to the originality of their attire. Besides being unkempt and unshaved, their varied garb made them look little like sailors. With the exception of one wearing a parade uniform, they were dressed like Hoo ligans, some wearing civil jackets and naval trousers and others vice versa. Some wore boots and others had none. One had a chauffeur's cap." i VOl'LD Tit FIGHT IXK ESTATE SAN FRANCISCO.

Sept. 8- People to hom certain colors represent sounds or emotions have long been laughed at, but scientific work on the sun's rays is proving them to have Justifi cation for their theories. Red, It appears. Is the most excit ing and stimulating of all colors and has a special effect on the activity of the brain. Blue, which so many people In an age of great nervous strain and tension find soothing, is so In reality. Unless one is In a Je presiwd state of mind sea blue cur tains at your bedroom windows have a beneficial effect, 'especially if the house faces the south and gets the morning sun. twing Imported through Puget sound j there can be but one reason. That reason hum to do not with the manu facture of shingles but with the status (f the timber business. In this coun try the standing timber has become monopolized. Through this monopo lisation the available timber Is held t prices all beyond reason. These 1-rlees are further augmented by the fact our privately owned timber does liot have to pay a sufficient tax. If our timber were taxed as it should be the timber monopolists would not liavc such snap. They would relax their grip and we would have less timber going to wasU and there would le more sawmills running. Reond doubt Canadian shingles are CHimlnx to this country, not because Hi HUh Columbia can manufacture biiiftlea any cheaper than can Wash ington but because British Columbia tnilii ran secure timber at sane prices. The way to stop the Importation of Canadian shingles is for our timber inannNles to -lower their sights. Lt them rrll their standing timber to bliiKle factories at Just prices and all will be well. They run afford to do that Wcaum mod of our great It was Bald that during 1913' about $300,000,000 was received for elec tric lighting In the United States.
