Both the House and the" Senate make a great show of sawing wood on the question hut in reality very little is being done. ' Probably the Senate is more to blame in regard 'to this than the House. .The -Housa just at present realizes that it does owe some duty to the people who elected it, but Te Senate, generally appointed by some powerful corporation .'or railway." naturally feels that it 'owes more duty to the special interests it represents tlian to the public whom it is supposed to represent. The Senate, however, is to be lauded for sticking to one thing and that is not attempting to serve two masters. More satisfaction would,; undoubtedly be given though if the Senate recorganlzed the best1 interests of the entire naffon asTfs master rather than the; interests ofOa few special individuals, "V GOUNCILMAIi-AT-LARGE IS NOW ENTITLED TO HIS SEAT.

POUTS WILL TAP MAPLE v TREES TODAY. Will Boil Sap at Once to See Grade; of Syrup it Will Make. 1 The warm weather has so effected" he sugar trees in this part of the country that Charles Fonts, residing southeast of the city, will commence today , to tap his trees and draw the "sugar-water" which will be boiled into maple syrup.. Usually the process of sugar mak ing does not. commence until the Fatter part of February and often not until March birr the exceptionally warn weather has caused those farmers, who make svrup to tap the trees at the first opportunity as there may be no time which will be more favoraWe than the present. It is usually best to begin to 'tap the trees immediately after a freezingspell.;' ' By some of the oldest residents, it is said that rarely ever before has there .been such a thing as maple sap running . in sufficient quantities for use, in January, but they also couple with this that they do not remember such a warm January, which accounts for the -early flow of sap. Mr'.'Fouts will boil his sap immediately and see what grade syrup can be made 'from. January sugar water.
