fleet under Rear Admiral Arnold.
The weather conditions at the time
departure were glorious. The sky

as without a cloud and there was
J§Mi enough breeze to curl the crests
the sun flooded waves. Nothing
could have surpassed the beauty ot
the marine picture as the American
Armada weighed anchor from the
lliadows of the towering rock of Gib-,
mltar and moved out into the straits.1
The difficult operation of getting the
•lxteen huge battleships out of the
harrow war basin of the port and un

OWN CANADIAN TIMBER
Document Declares That Cafteln Min
nesota Men Who Appeared in Ad
vocacy of Removing the Duty Are
Interested in a British Columbia
Lumber Company ai C1, Would Be Di
rectly Benefited by Action Asked.
The statement contains flit an
nouncement of the organization of the
American Timber Holding company,
with a capitalization of $6,000,000,
holding title to about 1,600,000,000
feet of timber, located p?inclpally in
Western British Columbia, accessible
to tidewater. The purpose of the
company is to float, it i# stated, a
considerable part of the stock on the
American market, particularly in the
event of the removal of material re
duction of the duty on lumber.
"One of the chief witnesses on Nov.
20 was M. J. Scanlon of Minneapolis,
who is president of the new com
pany,' Bays Mr. Defebaugh. "The
leading witness of Nov. 20 was Theo
dore M. Knappen of Minneapolis, who
ie now announced as secretary of the
Fritish Columbia Timber company.
Another important witness was F. B.
Lynch of St. Paul, who is one t)f the
directors. Further, an exhaustive
written brief, printed Dec. 1.0, was by
W. S. Dwinnell, who is treasurer of
this timber company.
"Since the hearing of Nov. 20 the
country has been flooded with litera
ture sent out by the 'Forest Couserva
t'on league," of which Mr. Knappen
admitted himself to be the chief con
stituent. It seems evident that if
iheise gentlemen can break the tariff
lumber cocoanut they hope to be able
to claim the milk as Canadian."
SENTT0 FINANCE COMMITTEE
Increasing Canal Bond Issue to
$500,000,000.
Washington, Feb. 8.—The senate
committee on Interoceanlc canals
voted to send to the committee on
finance the Hopkins bill increasing
the authorization for the Issue of ca
nal bonds from $135,000,000 to $500,
000,000. This action was taken on the
theory that an appropriation in excess
of the amount named in the original
act in itself acted to Increase the
limit of cost of the Panama canal and
therefore It was a question with
which the finance committee was best
qualified to deal.
The bill Introduced by Representa
tive Mann (111.) to provide for the
government of the canal zone and
which entirely reorganizes the canal
commission was discussed informally
by the senate committee on Inter
oceanic canals. It was decided that it
Involved too great a change for con
sideration in the time that remains of
the present session and ao action will
be taken on the bill.

Rr
portance of concealing from the pub
lic the information it contains.
The reason given by President
Roosevelt for the request that the in
formation should be kept as execu
tive matter was that the war fund
had been used to send military agents
Into foreign countries to gather mate
rial for the secret use of this govern
ment. While it Is said that this is
true In regard to some expenditures
certain senators have declared that
the report so hides the details con
nected with such expenditures that
the publication of the report could
not result in any diplomatic estrange
ments with other governments. It Is
declared by several senators who have
examined the treasury statement that
the information sent in shows that
the fund had been used as "a flnan
cial junk heap." It is asserted that
the statement shows that several
''junkets" were paid for from this
fund and that in certain instances the
fund was used to pay for the enter
tainment of military visitors from
other countries.
