Taft Blames Lumber and Paper Trusts Against Reciprocity
President Taft told the Western Economic Society that opposition to the Canadian reciprocity agreement comes mainly from the lumber trust and print paper manufacturers.

A special Farmer's Telephone Co meeting is set for July 10 at Odd Fellows hall in Bellingham to address management matters.
