LUMBERING INDUSTRY Hiscussed in the Columns of an Ottawa Paper by a Vancouver Citizen. The following appears in the last issue to hand of the Ottawa Citizen: Editor Citizen In connection with the lumlK rmen's deleitiim which interviewed the (iovernmrnt tins morning, 1 have been asked by many in this city pertinent questiou.s as to the condition of the trade in llritish Columbia. Will you lie so kind as to favor me with space in your valuable columns while I answer the queries 1 am To binin with: The timber growth in ISritish Columbia i simply enormous, and Its value to the Province is incalculable.

The yearly depletion of the forest for manufacturing purposes is trillinir as com liaivd with the devastation made by what lire termed bush tires, which destroy bll lions of feet. 1 have stated that the aria is enormous, so much so that for very many yours to come the supply of Ions for lumber and iiianiiituriiiK purposes licncnilly will be practically inexhaustible. The lumlierini! industry, therefore, is already a very important one. That it is ceiluin to expand with the irrowth of the Province and Territories and Manitoba is quite certain. To other countries than those I have named sawmill men on the toast have been devotintf their attention.

Foreign shipping in the lumber trade by (ailing vessels and steamships, for many years back, has been an important factor in the trade of the Pacific Province. For several years back the trade has been in a languishing condition. I refer to the conditions on the Pacific eoust. The foreign trade hag been depressed, while the home, or domestic, market has Witnessed very keen competition, caused solely by the fact that American lumbermen are placed on a more advantageous plane than our own mill men. British Columbia producers are practically debarred entering the United States market, either in the west, the middle States, or those on the Atlantic seaboard.

The duty on lumber, undressed, going into the United States from Canada is $2 per thousand feet; 30 cents per thousand on shingles end 25 cents on laths. These are the charges which Uncle Sam places upon Canadian lumber going into any portion of the Union. Canada thrown her ports open to Americans and oilers the lumbermen of that country a free entrance into the Dominion, of all the lumber, shingles and laths which enn be manufactured beyond the international boundary, free of any duty or charge whatsoever. I am a free trailer, but I do not understand the theory of allowing foreigners to come in and possess our land, drive thousands into alien kind from the inhabitants of which we need look for no trade concessions a is at present the case with Canada's lumbering industry of the Pacific coast. On Puget Sound very large mills are to be found.

Transportation competition there is keen, in consequence of the many liner of railway anil ocean going craft which are in operation and to be met With there. From the Puget Sound mills to points in the Northwestern States and Manitoba the rates are much less than they are from, say, Vancouver or New Wertminster, in Hritish Columbia, where there is practically no competition. The Canadian Pacific enters into competition with its American rivals, and quotes mill men lower rates than are charged from either Vancouver, Port Moody or New Westminster, to Winniieg, Portage la Prairie or lirandon. It is compelled to adopt a policy of this character in order to maintain its position in the tmneenn tinental transportation race. The effect of such a condition of affairs as I am referring to practically irnaDu the crowding nut of the lumber mills, the shingle ami the lath factories.

The local trade is necessarily a limited one, and such advantages are given to the Americans that neither thi Western Ontario nor the British Columbia mill men can conqiete with their rivals. Indeed, I have to state and I regret being compelled to do so that at this moment, in the city and vicinity of Vancouver and in New Westminster, several shingle and lath factories clrsed down, some indefinitely. In order to maintain their northwest cvi, tactions, several have moved their li Jn'ents across the border, into Washington, w'here, for various reasons, mber ran be manufactured mmh cheaper tlan In Bntii Columbia. The lumbermen's delegation hr.i died their case so thoroughly th.it th belief is general the Government will take rclion in the matter. From whatever jl view the statements made, stiti tif, and data submitted, tliere can liarliy any 'ting awuy from the f.u 'hat 1h loin beririg industry in Northwestern Ontaiio and British Columbia is not on a fooling With either the agricultural or mini factoring industries of the Donviun.

Were it not for the unfair cwnpetition to which th western null men are suhiiHed, I have been assured that British Coian.bia would be able to continue shipping icrt.iin classes of lumber to Toronto, lit Billion, London, Windsor, Cobourg, Muniienl, Fherbrooke, St. John, N. Mortton, lL.lifai and Amherst. But ensepnnce of the shipments tif American pitch it.e which come into Canada the tiroucct largely of black labor Can idiins aie driven out of their own markets. They who know the Americans and are tamiliar with their methods ace fud well aware of the fact that no cone cf an acceptable nature need be lwked for in behalf of the lumbering industry.

It is satisfactory to know that the lumbermen of the western section of the Dominion stand as one in the demand th it they tie placed upon the same footing as rsitre nTmm vvttvsvft nits free bread, free Hour, free wiic.it ar.d all the nevessnrios of life; the farmer free implements, the blacksmith and all eiich is deal or work with iron and steel these free? British Columbia's lumbering industry is to Unit country of the same importance as it is to the saw null men of West err Ontario. I think, Mr. Editor, that you will with me in asserting that fair play u'l round in the matter of trade lestriciions should be the first consideration of those who have to deal with such matters. J. C.

M'LAliAN. Ottawa, April 7, 1S09. Commenting on the foregoing the Citizen Attention is directed to a letter in another column from J. C. Mo Lagan, of the Vancouver World, on the ilisadMintages under which the lumber trade of liritish Columbia is laboring ow iirj to the inequitable tariff arrangement, Mr.

McLupan is a free trader, but, i.i tini with mo impartial men a ho have riven the subject consideration, tie leioj; nizes the anomaly of allowing ioiiilir fioin I'li ted Suites to be bn ught into the country free while the United St ites iinpe. es a heavy duty i Canadian lumber, shingles and laths. The tion from british Columbia wniih interviewed ile: (iovernnient last week paced tie? case very clearly, as does also Mr. M. Iigar, in the letter referred 10.

ft is diiliculc to see how the tiovernii'ent can avoid rrting, in i iir manco cf the logic of such ficts. Under the existing ennd lumber trade of Manitoba ind the No ikwest is handed over to the Ameri ci" pnrl the mills of British Col l.iiina beit? closed down or heavily l.ineli caj ped and restnetod in their trade. This is due to the keen competition in railway rates on the American side of the line, which enables the lumbermen of Washington and Oregon, favored by the advantages of a free market, to place their product in the Canadian Northwest at prices with which Canadian lumbermen cannot compete. Honest Advice Free to Men. The Vancouver World is requested to publish the following: All men who are nervous and debilitated or who are suffering from any of the various troubles resulting from overwork, excess or youthful errors, are aware that most medical linns adverti ing to cure these conditions cannot be relied upon.

Mr. Graham, a resident of Loudon, living at 1 Kit hinoiid street, was for a long time a utleier from above troubles and after trying in vain many advertised remedies, electric belts, became almost entirely discouraged and hopeless. Finally he confided in an old clergyman who directed him to an eminent and reliable physician, through whose skillful treatment a speedy and perfect cure was obtained. Knowing to his own sorrow that so many poor sufferers are being impos upon by unscrupulous quacks, Mr. Graham considers it his duty to give his fel lowtnen the benefit of his experience and assist them to a cure by informing anyone who will write to him in strict confidence where to be cured.

No attention can be given to those writing out of mere uroi ity but anyune who really needs a cure is advised to address Mr. Graham as above. CAN AIM A DESPATCH ES. Mrs. Middleton, aged 40, of Winnipeg, was struck by a runaway team while bicycling and killed.

Many then Went to luugh at John attempt to do the emotional and none there are ho will forget how they laughed when John spoke of "me dear old mudder." John has bum cured of the idea that he can act, and he is now out with a vaudeville company, and his iwrt consists of some boxing and sparring with another ex champion, Jake Kilrain. The programme opens with a musical burle tta entitled A Trip Across the Oean. The champion is introduced as a captain in a natty yachting costume. The seronel part of the programme is an olio of eight numliers, in which such professionals as Edwards and Edwards aplar in illustrated songs; Iloehefnrt and two young ladies in songs, parodies and funny sayings; Fetching musical comedians; Millie and Hurtine Francis, in their kitest novelty, pictures of famous fbihters. feast and present; closing with a three round sparring contest, the two thoroughbreds, lie gley and Ixs, in their original talking act; Muldoon the Fiddler; Keyford Sisters in their latest European sensation, dances of all nations; and I'ar mody, the world's greatest club juggler, who has a standing challenge to juggle any man in the world for $1,000.

The Savoy. The Savoy Theatre is presenting nn sin usually attractive piogranune. The bill orens with Sid, as she is named on the pn igra mine. Sid is described as a Scottish beauty, and she is aptly so termed. There can be no doubt that her accent is genuine, and, unless the writer's judgment Is very much astray, she came from sinne where not very far from Dumfries.

Her opening recitation, describing the troubles of a rector who made a misUike between a man who had got married ami a man who had bought a new coo, was very amusing. P. F. Copplnger did a very humorous turn. Ida ililday is as entertaining as ever.

Of the ability of Beatrice Lorne, no one has any doubt since he? recent appearance here, and she has lost none of her power to charm. The IVri sisters are exceedingly clever in Sabot elance, but one could get on with a little less of the cake walk.

Doctors now agree that consumption is curable. Three things, if taken together, will cure nearly every case in the first stages; the ma jonty of cases more ad vanced; and a few of those far advanced. The first is, fresh air; the second, proper food; the third, Scott's Emulion of cod liver oil with hypophosphites. To be cured, you must not lose in weight, and, if thin, you must gain. Nothing equals Scott's Emulsion to keep you in good fieah.

The commissioner when ho gets into tffie new gold district will have the task of deter mining ft lxmtion of those who staked olnims the Territorial liiiw when the now gold fields first came into prominence, and it was belie wd tihat it was within the boundaries of the Northwest Territories. Th? "jumping" through the winter has been general throughout the district, the old creeks escaping more luckily than any others Pine, Marsh, Birdh and Spruce. As for Atlin City, the town has been very nicely surveyed by Mr.

Brownlee, who has) followed the plan of the original survey in all cwential inrticulara, and lots are changing hands daily, although the only title that there is to deal in as yet is the poBswision right, wHhi(h it has been thought best to respect.

"Hearing ef Poun's Kidney Fills and their success in curing kidne'y troubles, he got a box and he gan tlieir use. We are ple ased to testify that thy completely cured his lame back, removing the urinary dillieulties and gri'ully relieviug the rhoumatUm.
