of an IDEAL Boiler is one of the
strong features for producing its great superiority in fuel saving.
A deep fire is easily proven best as compared with the shallow fire-pots of old
fashioned heating methods just as a big, full cake of ice to fill the refrigerator
box will give far longer, steadier results than would the frequent throwing in of
a handful of cracked ice.
IDEAL Boiler fuel-pots have air grooves or channels in which
the air and coal-gases thoroughly mix, as in a modern gas or oil
burner, thus extracting every bit of the heat from the fuel. . None
of the heat is wasted up the chimney.
IDEAL. Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators require less attention than a stove;
a child can run them. They reduce house-cleaning one -half, and save wear
and tear on carpets, draperies, and furnishings. The pure, warm air protects
the family health.
Better at first to omit tbe useless inner doors, extra chimneys, mantels, fancy lamps that are

TREATIES DO NOT PREVENT
Other Governments Kxpectert to

Is Regarded as Necessary to
Protect Americans.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 11. That there are any
treaty obligations which wouM pre
vent this Government from makfnsr inn
Panama Cane.1 free to American ships
Is denied by authorities on interna
tional law In the Senate and House.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts
takes Issue with the statement of those
who declare that the treaty under
which the canal Is being built applies
o coastwise trade. The Senator from
Massachusetts ought to be the highest
utnorlty on this subject, as he pre
sented the treaty to the Senate when
It was adopted.
I really do not see why this ques
tion has been raised." said Senator
Lodge, in discussing the argument ad
vanced that American ships must pay
the same tolls as ships flying the
American flag. "I do not want to go
Into It at length at this time, except to
say that in my opinion the treaty does
ot apply to tbe coastwise trade.
lodsre Make Iaane Clear.
Fearing that some uncertainty
might grow out of the suggestion that
it does. I have introduced a bill pro
viding for the payment by the Govern
ment of the tolls of American vesnels
using the canal. Of course, thia is only
matter of bookkeeping, but if the
Government pays the tolla of American
hips, no pther government can go be
hind this. Other nations will pay the
tolls of their vessels and we will not
be able to prevent It and: neither will
they have the right to Interfere or
protest if our Government makes such
an arrangement."
Representative Kahn, ol California.
ens of th leaders of the movement for
free American shipping through the
Panama Canal, insists that the public
is being confused by an erroneous
statement of the issues involved. He
argues that it is not a Question of
discrimination against the ships of
other nations, but of protection for
our ships against advantages that will
be given to foreign ships.
Nation Urged to Pay.
"You may rest assured," said Mr.
Kahn, "that all of the large maritime
nations of the world will either directly
or indirectly pay the tolls of their
ships using the Panama Canal. If
this Nation does not. its ships will
eventually be driven out of trade
through the Fanama Canal, which was
built with American dollars and in the
expectation that it would greatly In
crease American commerce. I am at a
loss to understand why any one should
seriously think that our treaty, or any
other obligations which we have with
foreign nations, should force us to give
up the advantages which naturally
come to us through the construction
of the canal.
"It appears to me that those who are
protesting against free American ships
through the canal are inconsistent in
their argument. They tell us that the
small sum involved in tolls could not
reduce the price of goods passing
through the canal when they reach the
consumer on either coast, and yet they
declare that the demand for free tolls
Is an effort of the Coast merchants to
extend their trade. The Coast mer
chants could not extend their markets
unless they could reach those markets
at lower prices and lower freight rates
than now prevail. It is my Judgment
that this fact will be appreciated and
that we shall get some sort of provi
sion which will not force American
ships to stand the tolls, while foreign
ships are having the tolls refunded
by their respective governments."

to Mr. Bowerman that he assisted to

an officer of the Oregon & Washington

pany. During his association officially
with the concern, he said the proceeds

with an implement house for machinery
representing an actual valuation of
$120,000 with which to equip the pump
