The ignorance of American sentiment displayed by our cous ins across our northern boundary is amazing and inexcusable. A Mr. Drummond who was a dele gate from Montreal to a "Con gress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire," recently held in London, has been criticised some what for offering a resolution in favor of "Imperial preferential trade" in which he referred to the growth of trade between the United States and Canada as a danger which means our political absorption of Canada. The Standard, published at Montreal, rushes to the defense of Mr. Drummond, and says he "had in mind the great number of Americans coming into Wes tern Canada, with American ideas, without knowledge of, and certainly without regard for Canadian institutions." The Standard then declares the policy of annexation "is as dead as Julius Caesar," but asserts that "the Monroe doctrine of late years has proved exceedingly ex pansive," especially in South America, and that "it might be lound equally elastic along the northern boundary line." It might be that ' the Standard mistakes the vaporings of a few disgruntled Canadians living in our border cities as expressive of real American sentiment toward Canada. The average American is not giving much thought to the destiny of Canada, and has ho thought of acquiring it by any means whatever. It is true that in the event of war between England and the United States we might determine "to carry the war into Africa," and this certainly would have a powerful influence on Canada's destiny. But such a war is too improbable to contemplate except by the military student. The Ameri canizing of Canada may, some day, induce her to apply for ad mission to the American Union, but Uncle Sam is not offering his sons any inducements to colonize in Canada, so it is plain she is in no danger, unless self-invited, from this source, The truth is that Canada is en vious of our material growth and too jealous to enter into better trade relations with us. If she would have the free trade rela tions possessed by the states of the Union she sees the way to get them. If she prefers to grope for commercial prosperity through Colonial, or "Imperial Preferential Trade," we are sat isfied she shall. Many years ago we repudiated that scheme as ap plied to us. Possibly Canadians will find similar reasons for re pudiating it. When they do, Canada's ultimate destiny will be seen from a different viewpoint - It may be, as the Standard says, "the policy for Canadians to keep a strict watch on the United States and upon United Stales' overtures to Canada,'' but we would assure it that no American is losing sleep over the ultimate destiny of Canada. INSURANCE. When a person insures his property against fire he is en titled to expect that the insur ance money will hi promptly paid on the occurrence of a fire which causes him a loss. If people were not justified in the hope of at least a partial return of the losses they ."-n '" a; the result of a oi.li ..ij.i they would not insure, 'in-i policy of insurance from any point of view is purely one of cold-blooded business. San Francisco sufferers are to lose millions of dollars on account of what they term repudiation on the part of various insurance companies doing business there before the great catastrophe of May 18- The companies refus ing to pay justify their course by pointing to what is termed the ' 'earthquake clause. " All the details are not made pub lic and it is impossible to tell how far the insurance companies may be justified in their acts of repudiation. One thing is certain, the pub lic will watch the adjustment of insurance matters in San Fran cisco with interest and should profit by the outcome- All com panies settling on an honorable basis will receive public com mendation in a large degree, but those companies repudiating just claims should be forever de barred from business in the en tire United States. There seems small choice be tween the repudiating companies they are English, German and American concerns. The aver age American will feel no pride in home companies that repudi ate just obligations. Real Estate Transfers. Chester Henkle to the J. W.

Mrs. Harlan Taylor and Miss ;Emma Greer left yesterday ' for Clatskanie, to join Mr. Taylor, who has leased a res taurant at that place. Riding wheels on the sidewalk at pres ent is a violation of law, as everyone know?, yet nearly every day there are youths and men who ride on the walk for a block or t'o as suits their conven ience.

Tuis is a gentle hint, and may save someone a fine, if heede 1 in lime.

Representatives have examined the mines and ara satis fied with the prospects. They will in the fall begin active operations running the twenty stamp mill and adding $30, 000 or $10,003 wortti of machinery. Al bany Democrat. A fireman's hat, badly battered ind worn, bearing an inscription that it had done service in the S.n Francisco fire and quake, passe i threugh the city yesterday as a wanderer over the lines of the Wells I Fargo Express Co. At every point the express managers and agents had tagged the wanderer, and one of the cards show ed that the Giv-r-iv of California had received it and that it was o.i its way tor a visit to tha Governor of Oregon. The hat will make the trip over the lines of the company and finally will be taken back to San Francisco where the fire de partment will doubtless retain it as a souvenir. Albany Herald. , ' ' SHE GOT B00ZE. At Independence, 'and Could Not Find Way Home. It happened Wednesday even ing, after the freight train arrived from Independence. Someone phoned Chief Lane that a drunk- -en person was at the depot, and that worthy officer hurried to the scene to find, seated flat upon the platform and supported by a tele phone pole not a masculine tip pler, but a female, so drunk that she could not find her way to her stopping place in this city. She j is a transient, and when asked . where she belonged replied with I an oath that it was none of the chief's business. Finally she! mentioned her residence, and was 1 assisted to her feet and started : homeward, but within a block , had lost her bearings and Chief Lane and Nightwatchman Os burn were forced to support her on either side and promenade several blocks to her destination. The scene is said to have been ludicrous in the extreme, but one in which the officers at the time saw no joke. A valise, saturated with booze and with j one end knocked out, was carried by the wobbly damse', and odds and ends of feminine belongings were scattered here and there along the street and were gath ered up by the exasperated es corts. A small hand satchel con taining papers of various kinds was also clutched in the hands of the tipsy traveler, and as she frequent! v "stubbed" her toe and lunged forward the papers ; were wafted on the breeze and Chief Lane exhausted hi? supply of patience several times in giv ing chase. When Officer Os burn remarked, disgustedly, that jail was the proper place for such persons, the female showed fight and David wisely subsided into silence for the remainder of the stroll. The booze, according to. the woman's statement, was obtained in Independence, and she claim ed she had a gallon. She gave Chief Lane a quart, but one bottle had been broken. It is said that the female created all sorts of disturbance on the train coming from Independence Wed nesday evening. George Langel, recently from Kan sas, died at 8 a. m. yesterday at the Le-( der home in this' city, aged about 35.: Deceased was a single man. Relatives in the East have been wired and the re, mains are held at the morgue awaiting instructions. . - Board of Equalization.

Signature of iu&ZcZ FENCE IN CAME WITH WIRE Several State Preserves to Be Estab lished in. the Forests of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa. The board of state game commissioners of Pennsylvania has decided to preserve game in this state. The plan is to establish sev eral state game preserves on land owned by the state forestry depart ment. These preserves are to be inclosed by a fence with a single wire strung about three feet from the ground high enough for small game to pass "under and low enough for deer to jump over. Within these inclosures hunting will be prohibited, not only in the regular "close" seasons, but at all times, and the state game wardens will be em powered to enforce this regulation. The last legislature appropriated $6,000, which can be used for establish ing the proposed single wire fences. A commission composed of ex-State Treasurer Frank G. Harris, of Clear field; W. Heyward Myers, of Wil liamsport, and Secretary Joseph Kalb fus, of the state game commission, will select the sites. PEARL FROM THE WABASH. Thousand-Dollar Gem Found in Mus sel Shell Taken from ; That River. Montezuma, Ind. Emory Moore, while opening mussels to obtain bait for his trotline, the other day, found a pearl valued by experts at about $1,000. This is the second pearl found in the Wabash here within the last two months, of near the same value, the latter, how ever, being a much finer specimen than the former. Pearl hunters are becom ing numerous at this place. A Wabash river pearl that is sold here for from $100 to $200, will sell for $1,000 to $1,500 by the time it reaches Paris, which is the best market. The majority of the pearl hunters here, not knowing the real value of such gems, sell them for what they are offered. The Wabash pearls are considered the finest of the fresh water pearls. Sexton Mistook Day. . The inhabitants of Middlesex, Mass., were alarmed the other morning by the ringing of the church bell. Leav ing their work, they seized pails and started, thinking that an alarm of fire was being rung. Investigation proved that the sexton had mistaken the day, and supposed that he was ringing the bell for the Sunday morning service. Rev P. A.
