OTTAWA. OnU July !. The 11th
Parliament of Canada passed out of
etUtence today and upon the political
complexion Of caw on to b elected

the reciprocity urtenwnt between tha
l cited States and Canada.
Premier Laurler decided to ask for an
immediate dissolution at a meeting of
hl Cabinet thla afternoon and at one
notified Earl Grey. Coremor-0nril.
A abort tlma later a special Issue of
tha Official Gasette was printed con
talnfae; tha formal announcement and

ttie Be waa received with cheera and
tha member hastened away to tele

cainpalco was on. Virtually every mem
ber wl.l have left the capital by tomor
row and tha campaign on tha reci
procity Issue will beam all over tha
ImmlnloB early nest week.
The announcement of dissolution to
day cams somewhat at a surprise, as
few persons expected It before next
week.
forma lit lea rlnened With.
Tha refusal of tha Conservative mi
nority of tha House to close the debate
a tha Government's reciprocity reso
lution and permit a vote on It. which
would mean 's adoption, and tha Im
probability of a chance In their atti
tude resulted In tha Government's de
cision that It waa useless to keep Par
liament another day.
This Is the first tlma a session of
tha Dominion Parliament has been
rloa4 without the appearance of tha
Oovemor-0nerl In military state at
tba state chamber to alve formal pro
rogation. As the Senate was not due
to reassemble until Auaust . and aa
prorogation could not take place unlesa
both bdsms were present, dissolution
waa resorted to.
Althouah tha appropriations for the
year have not been voted, tha govern
ment figures that It has funda enouah
to suffice until a new Parliament baa
bee a elected and assembled to vote the
remainder. The new Parliament will
be summoned to meet on October 11
ad supply bills will be voted at onre.
Bitter Campaign F-xpected.
It Is generally agreed that the two
months" campaign before the country
will be bitter. Reciprocity probably
will be the sole Issue, althoueh the
Conservatives In Quebec may seek to
Inject the naval Issue Into the contest.
The antl-annexatton cry already has
been raised by the Conservatives In all
parts of the country.
olr Wilfrid Laurler and his ministers
will take the stamp and conduct plat
form campaigns in all provinces. The
Prime Minister will confine Jm at
tention tr the central provinces and
Quebec, while Mr. FleldlnsT. Minister of
Finance, who helped to draft the reci
procity agreement, will devote his at
tention to the maritime provinces. For
the opposition. Robert U Borden, their
leader, will sMve most of his time to
Ontario and Nova Scotia.
The Parliament lust dissolved had
a membership of HI Liberal. IS Con
servatives and three Independents,
giving the government a working ma
jority of more than 44. The absence of
a cloture rute. however, made It Im
possible for the majority to force a
vote against a filibuster.
GOVERNMENT TO APPEAL
Real Hope of Winning ttarrlrnan
Merger Case Entraialned.
WASHINGTON. July -The Govern
ment baa decided to appeal the llarrlman
merger case to the L'nited States Su
preme Court. Although It has a year
within which to perfect Ita appeal, tha
Department of Justice mill hasten ac

the appeal would not be perfunctory, as
baa been supposed, but that strong hope
was entertained that the suit would be
won. C. A. Severance, the Government s
special counsel, has reported that he be
lieves the Government ha a good ease.

It has been somewhat difficult for

The crying need of the Mexicans Is a

TO TARIFF TANGLE
Democrats Hostile to Compro

- in Wool Schedules.
SPEAKER IS OPTIMISTIC
Other Leader Inclined to Believe
Trt Will Veto Any Measure Re
sulting Front Democratic
Insurgent Combine.
WASHINGTON. July 19. Democratic
leaders of the House adopted anything
but a conciliatory tone on the wool tar
iff situation today.
Chairman Underwood and Represen
tatlva Harrison, of tha ways and means
committee, and other prominent Demo
crats, expressed themselves tonight in
unfriendly terms toward a compromise
with the Senate that would mean an in
crease in the rates of the original
Underwood bill.
Meantime President Taft Is ac
credited by those who talked with him
today as being determined to veto the
bill wfcen It resches him.
Solution Reels With House.
The situation in th House Is the
key to th entire tariff tangle In Con
gress. Upon th action of the-House
esrly next week rests the possibility
of further tsrlff legislation at this ses
sion Speaker Clark expressed confi
dence today that a wool bill would be
agreed on In conference and that It
would be signed by the President.
Other House lesders. however, adopted
a more pessimistic view of th Presi
dent's attitude and expect the President
to veto any wool bill framed by the
present Democratic-Insurgent Republl
csn coalition In the Senate.
Another faction, of which Represen
tative Harrison, of New Tork. Is tha
leader, demands that the raw wool
duty (hall not be above SO per cent.
The general expectation Is that the La
Follett compromise ss It passed the
Senate will emerge from conference as
a measure based on a JO per cent ad
valorem on wool.
There was no change In the situa
tion In the Senate, the coalition main
taining Its strength and the parties to
that combination expressing confidence
in their ability to put through revision
legislation.
Two-Third Vote Lacking.
In the event the President should
veto the final conference wool bill, the
Democratic leaders will begin calcula
tlona as to whether the bill can be
passed by the House over the Presi
dent's veto. The Underwood bill passed
the House on June SO by a vote of i28
to 100. But to pass over a veto two
thirds of tha House membership of 191
must vote for the hill. This would be
Il. or 41 mora thn went on record for
th original bill In th House. There
la nothing so far to warrant counting
on th muster of any self - added
strength.
House Democrats expressed th view
tods 7 that If the President Is to veto
the wool bill, they would prefer to
hsv him veto a Democratic bill, rather
than an Insurgent Republican-Democratic
compromise measure.
It Is clear today that the House will
not be In a hurry to ask for a confer
ence. The Senate wool bill, when It Is
taken up In the House next week, will
be promptly rejected and sent back to
the Senate. It will remain for that
body to ask for a conference committee.

BOISE. Idaho. July 29. (Special.)
Southern Idaho Is beginning to feel the
effects of the gigantic telephone mer
ger recently effected in the West
through the consolidation of all inde
pendent lines with that of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Company. The
new company is known as the Mountain
States Telephone &. Telegraph Company,
and has a capital stock of $50,000,600.
All of the Independent lines outside of
the Rocky Mountain Bell Company will
be "cut over" by the end of August.
The exchanges at Weiser and Nampa
were "cut over" today. When all ex
changes In the southwestern part of
this state are actually Joined with that
of the Rocky Mountain Bell, fully 13.000
stations, or separate telephones, oper
ated In Ada. Canyon. Washington and
Owyhee counties. Idaho, and Malheur
Countv. Oregon, will be handled by the
Mountain States Company, while thou
sands of others in other parts of the
southern district will be merged In the
same manner.
Divisions Are 'amed.
.In the west the new telephone corpo
ration is divided as follows:
Eastern dlvtslon Headquarters at
Denver: W. F. Brown, general manager,
and embracing all of Colorado. South
ern and Southeastern Wyoming and the
northern part of New Mexico.
Western division Headquarters at
Salt Lake City: C. H. Seelye. general
manager, embracing all of I'tah. all of

ico. By recent transfer the extreme north
ern part of Idaho, Including exchanges
at Coeur d'Alene, Wallace. Sand Point
and other cities, were taken over by the
Pacific Statea Telephone A Telegraph
Company.
Extensions Constantly Made.
The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company waa organized In 1HSJ with
headquarters at Ogden. Utah. Through
various administrations and with the
extension of service to the surrounding
points the company was enlarged and
the general office transferred in 1887 to
Salt Lake City, from which up to the
present time all Important business had
been transacted. "
The Boise exchange was established
here In 1891. although previously an ex.
change service had been Installed at
Hailey when that town was In the
height of a mining boom. The ex
change was opened here with a toll sta
tion and one operator and connections
through to the esst by way of Hailey
and extra stations at Idaho City and
Silver City. The exchange haa grown
until It Is now connected with every
village, town and city in the States of
Oregon. Utah. Washington. Montana.
Wyoming, Nevada and California. At
the present time 40 operators are em
ployed at the Boise exchange, and 3400
ststlons are maintained.
That there will be a raise In the tele
phone rates Is not denied. The new
company has hinted thst the rstes
probably will be raised for residence
telephones only.

SHIPPER COMBINE, PLAN
WESTERX INTERIOR ORGANIZA
TION SEEKS ABSOLUTE RATE.
Long-and-Short-Haul Scheme to
Apply to All Eastern Points Ad
vocated by Spokane Man.
SPOKANE. Wash.. July 29. (Special.)
Organization of all Western Interior
shippers to secure from the next ses
sion of Congress sn absolute long-and-short-haul
clause, to apply to all East
ern interior points, is advocated by At
torney H. M. Stephens.
Such a clause would give Spokane
terminal rates, not only from St. Paul
and Missouri River points, but from
Chicago, the Mississippi River and
points as far East as Cincinnati and
Detroit. From the last named two cities
Spokane shippers must pay terminal
rates, plus 15 per cent, even under the
latest decision.
It is possible, Mr. Stephens believes,
to organize the Interior West from
the Canadian to the Mexican line and
send a powerful delegation to Wash
ington. D. C. to see that Congress
enacts a long-and-short-haul clause
without exceptions.
"While a great victory has been won.'
stated Mr. Stephens, "additional ad
vantages may. In my Judgment, be se
cured by organizing the intermountain
country from Canada to Mexico with
other interior points for the purpose of
having a lobby at the next session of
Congress to secure an amendment to
the fourth section the long-and-short-haul
clause so as to make that section
absolute and without proviso or quali
fication from Eastern interior points,
such as Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati
and Detroit.
Commissioner Lane's holding in the
Nevsda and -Arizona cases Is to the ef
fect that there Is no water competition
In the Chlcago-St. Louis territory, not
withstanding Commissioner Prouty
states that they are unable to state
that water competition does not have
any effect upon rates from Chicago and
St. Louis.
"I have always insisted that there is
no evidence of water competition far
ther West than the Buffalo-Pittsburg
line, and the Commission has practical
ly found that there Is no such competi
tion from Chicago and St. Louis, hence
I am of the opinion that an absolute
long-and-short-haul clause provision
from territory where there is no water
competition or no water shipments of
material consequence would be legal un
less the carrier can show that the re
duction would result In confiscation of
the railroad property. This, I am con
fident, they cannot show."
