Tie RaiIacay Aa0nates From st. Paul and
the Tariff on Frozen Hheat.
Winnipeg Tree Press, Dec. a


Winnipeg Free Press, Dec. IL
A special of the st. Paul, Minneapolis |
& Manitoba railway arrived here at noon
yesterday from St. Paul, bringing in the
official car OF that road: General Manag-
er Marvel, General Traffic Manager Alex
ander, Superintendent Guthrie. and United
States Customs Collector Brookwater, Of
St. Vincent. Their visit here was for the
purpose of meeting Gen. Supt. Egan and
Assistant Traffic Manager Harder on the
question of trans porting frozen wheat
over the Manitoba road on lis way TO
Ontario. After fully discussing the mat
ter and examining samples CT frozen
grain IN the possession of Mr.. Hgr-
der, they came to tbs conclu-
sion that the grain was not SO seriously
damaged as reported, and did not think
the nilIers or other buyers were justified
in cutting tha price. The millers in Min-
neapolis accepted Dakota wheat, not enc
bit worse frosted, ana the -four vas good
beyond being slightly discolored. General
Manager Marvel therefore concluded that
his road would make 10 reduction, for if
they did SO, q similar rebate would have to
be allowed on Dakota wheat, and this they
were not prepared to do. The st. Paul
people thought the G. 2. R. authorities ex-
ceedingly generous. Notwithstanding the
action OF the ST. Paul authorities, MIR.
Egan will continue the reduced rate over
the 9. P. r. until The damaged grain is all
exported. The result Of last nights con-
ference would seem to cast a serious refeo-
ton on the millers of the province, as it
is tantamount to charging them with tax
ing an undue advantage of the farmers.
