Remembering a grub cache on the Rig Kern near his claims, Connors stsrted out the follow ing morning. riads Supplies Ooss. At nightfall he reached the csbln, ohly to find tbe supplies gone.

As It waa a case of ford the Kern sgsln or stsrve, Connor finally mus tered up courage to make the ascond attempt. Washed hslf s mile down stresm, he landed on' the north side of the river more dead than alive. He found the embers of his former fire snd had Just strength enough to fsn them Into a blase. But the prospector did not hsve strength to put the fire out.

I submit that as lumber Is essential to all classes. anJ the price has gone far beyond what It ever was In the past, and as our sup ply Is bolng .exhausted, we ought to enlarge the sources from which our peo ple tnay secure It at reasonable prices. Tha report of tho chief of the bureau of corporations shows the control of lumber In the United States In com paratively, ftw hands and that Uicy arc o friendly to each other that the pos- f-imiuy oi a monopoly is neither ro moto nor Improbable, unless we bring to the United States the relatively in exhaustible supply to be found In Can ada." Tho president then proceeded to prove, by moans or the report of th tariff board on pulp wood and print l-apor, that the average cost of pro duction of print paper !n the United States in five dollars more a ton than the cost of production n Canada. H di'ilarrd this flvo dollars difference wsw due to tha cost of pulp wood in the two countries and that If pulp wood was admitted tc the United States free of duly this difference would bo overcome- and both consumers and paper manufacturers bo vastly benefitted. Farmer Sentiment Mlsrepressnted. "The third class of opposition," the president continued, "are those who claim vooirerouely to represent tne .whole farming Industry of the United States. This, of course, is n much mocc formidable opposition than the special Interests to which I have re ferrrd and it Is but natural that these special interests snould be found co operating with those who claim to rep resent the farming Interests in arous- Inif the farmers to the horrors and dis asters that re to follow reciprocity. Reciprocity Would Hot Injure Farmer. The president then discussed the ef fect of reciprocity on the farmer, de claring that the only grains exported from Canada to the United States In any quantity will bo wheat.- barley, rye snd oats. The prices on these, he de clared, were fixed in the world market without regard to tariff. Discussing the charges of Inconsist ency, made because It had been said he urged the reciprocity agreement with the Idea of lowering the cost of living on the one hand and' then asserted that th farmers would not be Injured by reduction In their prices, tho president aid: "I think that reciprocity will enlarge the farmer will be injured nor will prices increase." In a lengthy, tecnnicai argument me President purported to prove from the operation of the various tariffs that reciprocity would be a benefit to both Canada and the United States. He then discussed the chances of the messure's passage. "It will doubtless be reported out or the Senate finance committee next week," he declared. 'Probably without recommendation. because the committee is so Constituted that it is nearly equally divided on ths question of the wisdom of the treaty." Scores Soot Amendment The president discussed te various amendments proposed to the measure and scored the Root amendment to the pulp wood section, declaring thst the amendment would Interfere with tho i operation of the section as contem plated by the commissioners who ar ranged the treaty. "Another class of amendments finds an illustration In the proposal to place upon the reciprocity bill the so-called farmers' free list as ah amendment Without respect to the merit' of the farmers' list, the objection to It as an amendment is that to unite reciprocity and the farmers' free list Is to de feat both bills. Those sincerely In favor of both, therefore, ought to be willing to allow the reciprocity agree ment to be voted upon ae a separate measure upon its merits The president concluded with a plea for an early action on the measure by the Senate.
