Canadian manufacturers and that they could not compete with their, brethren across the hoe unless protected by a tariff wall. Several talks fwere - made and each speaker found something in the bill to object it " r ''Just two interests are behind the propoted reciprocity : bill," said Mr. Brunson, manager of. tbe National Lum ber Manufacturers'! Association, 7 ho was clled to the. floor, "and they" are the "Jim Hill" line of railroads and tbe newspapers off the country.

' It was money in the pockets of the Canadian manufacturers, he declared, and meant the reduction of prices on lumber in the United Slates. .

They want a tariff wall and do not want to have to fight for business With the American manu facturers." . : ' ' y- The speaker said that President Taft himself, even after the bill was framed did not know what it contained and that on one occasion he showed his ignorance of its provisions, by declaring a certain clause was in the bill that upon investi gation was not there at all. ' 1 , Taking a view opposite to that of the lumber manufacturers' was Congress man John H. Small who made; an ad dress before the association last night He said that the reciprocioy bill, if pas sed, would not hurt American manu facturers at all; that free trade on lum ber now existed with other countries and that the passage of the agreement would not be felt by the association. , ZOOOTravellng Salesmen Are soiling Welkins' Remedies, Flavor ing Extracts, Spices, Toilet articles etc. 1 1 over two million farm homes in every section of the United States and Can- ado.

' Precedent makes the minority leader the minority candidate" for speaker. Progressives don't want to vote for ex Speaker Cannon and stand-patters won't vote for a progressive. Representative James R. Mann.' (Re publican) of Illinois, was urged as sat isfactory to both sides, in a quiet can vass today, j But Mann, himself, re fused to eotr unless Cannon withdrew. Plans are being laid to secure this with drawal, it was stated today. . ' "t Mann is an able parliamentarian and one of the few stand-patters to vote against the. Payne tariff law on its first consideration in the House. Another concession likely to be made to the progressives on the minority side is the impelling motive in a move ment started today to have the Demo cratic ways and means committee not only choose the majority members of the committee but also the Republican personnel. : ' It was made known that an attack upon the validity of appropriation laws csrrying $400,000,000 will be made on the ground that the senate was illegally in session on March 4th, when final ac tion was taken upon them. ! It is asserted by parliamentary ex- rts that Senator Hale made a mistake when he ordered, an adjournment in stead of a recess early in the morning of March 4th. By law the terms of re tiring Senators expire at midnight March 3, but it is usually the custom to allow the "legislative day" of March S to continue' until noon on March 4th.

The land sold lies about one and one- half miles from town, towards th'Bay boro road, another tract is known as Neuse River Heights, Which is si very desirable location. The first tract only partially cleared, but it sold well) small lota went from 130 to $75 each, quickly. The other property of course, sold higher. It is understood that, most of the land was bought for improve ment and not for speculation. Oriental is not on any special boom, but it is gradually making a substan tial growth that makes for permanency. Two large saw mills here, the, Roper Lumber Con.pany's and the Defiance Box Factory, the fish catching and packing business, trucking and other forms of sgriculture constitute the main I industries of the town and section, but there are a number of smaller ones such as Concrete Works where tiling and plastic ornaments are manufactured, an ice factory, carriage shops, livery and sale stables and so on, besides- the hotels snd boarding houses, of which there are a plenty, to accommodate ss many guests as may arrive, The town also has f everal art' sian weils f rotn ' which flow continual streams of health giving mineral water.

March 26r Sweeping assurance that - Japan - will withdraw 'at once ; from ''Mexico . was given to President Taft by Ambassador Uehida, it is learned at the peace con ference at the White House. . j-- : . Quick confirmation came from Mexico City in the announcement that as a re sult of the martial demonstration in' Texas,, the secret Japanese-Mexican treaty has been-abrogated.- Uehida told kTaft that 'he could rest assured that Sereaifter Japan will take ho part what ever in Mexican affairs. -,- -Diplomats and high officials who have ' been watching the situation keenly re alized that the announcement that Taft had extreaded felicitions of friendliness - . . IT .1 " l 'j . t L r I i ' . diplomacy. .2 "'!'.'? ?.v !i;'::i j;:i; v , It waa known that in this case, as is the invariable rule in diplomacy. Presi dent Taft and Baron Uehida agreed be fore they parted as to what statement shou'd be made public! ' and under the circumstances the statement made was the most obvious one possible, accord ing to the diplomats. It is pointed out that it was the natural announcement for this country to declare its f riendli- ness for Japan, and in turn for Japan to do the same, in view of the fact that recent developments were satisfactory to the United States. -: ; ' , .It was learned todiy that the secret - Japan-Mexican treaty, the existence of which was publicly denied by all officii" Is was formed in April of last year, when a special agent of the Mikado went to Mexico City and concluded the negotia tions. Since that time : the United States has been watching every devel opment with the utmost care and obser ved . with increasing displeasure the growing activity of Japan in Mexico, This continued until the Japanese prac tically controlled the Isthmus of Tehu- antepei a ml tne ports on tne west coast of Mexico below Gusymas. This was accentuated and corroborated when ten days ago the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, realizing the futility of com bating the Japanese " ton the west coatt of Mexicothrew up its hands and an nounced its withdrawal! from Salina Cruz,, the , Pacific terminus of the Tehuantepee National railroad. ; The secret treaty related chiefly to trade relations and opened the doors of Japan to Mexico. It was of such a na ture, however, according to report hero that it could have been used as the basis for a much stronger alliance. This development was what was chiefly fear ed by Uncle Sam, and is said to have led to the decision on tbe part of this government to act in forceful fashion. - The-movement of the troops to the border served a, two-fold purpose. It gave notice to the advisers of Diss, and to Diaz himself,' that this country would not Btand any trifling, It is positively believed here that the twenty thousand men now on. the border .could march, almost without ; opposition, ' through Mexico to the capital and occupy it.
