Blizzard Experiences.

jamestown lDak.l letter.
Among the late blizzard news come q
number of reports of the pluck and endur-
ance of the parties caught out in the storm.
Probably the most interesting of these
hazardous experiences was that to which p.
Gaffeny, a milkman of the county, was
subjected. He started out Thursday morn
ing with his team and milk cans, as usual,
and the storm broke on him when he was
only thirty rods from the house. Mr..
Gaffeny is an old timer, and, approaching
the situation, turned his horses and at
tempted to drive them homeward in the
face of the wind.
The horse, as usual, refused to face the
wind, and he was soon lost. All that day
he searched in the binding, pelting gusts
for his home without avail. He knew he
could not be far off, and, when night came,
unhitched his horses and prepared to camp
out on the prairie for the night. All night
and until ii o'clock next day, when the
tempest lghtened, he battled with the
storm. When be got bis bearings he found
himself in an open field about one mile
from home. Mr.. Gaffeny's experience is
one seldom equaled, and one such as only
n tough and why constitution such as he
possesses, could live through.
Another case in this county is that of
Nels Morgan, young farmer living south
of town. He started from the city with n
load Of coal. but when short distance out
his mules refused to go against the wind.
Young Morgan exercised his presence Of
mind, turned the coal out of the gon-box,
crowded under that narrow shelter, and re-
NAMED there until the storm had spent it
self-two nights and one day.
In Barnes County, X. N. Pray and j. r.
Reynolds, who were caught on their way
home from Valley City, owe their lives to
a similar exhibition of presence of mind.
The team got off the road, and, the men
finding that they were lost, unhitched,
turned the sleigh upside down. and re-
NAMED there until morning.

The recent discouraging reports from
Bishop Taylcr's mission on the Congo are
not sustained by letter dated Viyi, Congo
River, Nov. 2, which the Waterville Mail
prints, from yonng Wateryille lady, the
wife of Missionary Clahin, who is with
Bishop Taylor. She says: 81 am perfectly
contented here and never for moment have
wished myself at home, so pray don't waste
any more sympathy on self-sacrifcing mis-
sionaries We have plenty Of rice, sugar.
coffee, flour, dried apples, and can buy pota-
toes, bananas and native food" Yet the
Congo country would not be a very. tolerable
country for weaker kneed Christians, as the
writer in another part of the letter says,
"Have had the fever twice since coming
here; the last time in July. Mr.. Clafiin has
had it eight times, and is very weak in con-
sequence. We take quinine every day as a
safeguard" Bishop Taylor's band are the
pioneers, and the first problem is to support
themselves. The Bishop selects station,
builds house of grass or clay, digs garden
where almost everything necessary to eat
can be raised, and other things, such as in
digo, spices, &C., for export. 1t is said plenty
of natives can be found who will work for
their board and the instruction given; SO 1t
is expected that after two or three years the
station can be made perfectly Independent of
the society, and the way can be opened for
missionaries who will do nothing but teach
and preach. A band working under such
difficulties and in such situation can not
for long time be safe from sudden and par
alyzing disasters. But so long as the spirit
of the missionaries is such as is revealed by
this letter, the mission can hardly be said to
be a failure.

The Toronto Globe which has heard the
report that the British Commissioners have
induced the Canadian government to admit
American fishermen to the trading privileges
renOunced on their behalf by the Convention
Of 1913, pending the award of arbitrators
charged to pronounce upon the conflicting
claims Of the interested governments, says
that the most important question is as to the
nature Of the submission to arbitration. The
Globe then goes on to declare that perpetual
concession would be made were the Canadian
government to consent to more than adjudi-
cation as to whether the Canadian case is
good by international law, since Ito admit
the American claim that waters between
headlands not more than ten miles apart are
of the high seas. and TO consent to arbitra-
tion as TO whether the shore line should fol-
low sinuosities, would be great surrender"
To the Americans the matter of the greatest
Importance would be the selection of the ar
btrator. With an impartial arbitrator, not
a Belgian under the thumb of Great Britain,
American fishermen might get the rights OF
commerce which are part Of the usages OF
civilized nations; and Canada would surren-
der nothing more valuable than her own pre-
posterous claims. But the experience that
our fishermen have had with arbitration has
not been such as to commend that method of
settlement to them.

MAINE AND THE TARIFF.
Some Ideas About Protection for the
Farmer and Laborer.

To the Editor of the Press:
In your issue af Jan. Sd, my statements in
regard to the relative value Of farms and
farm products in New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia are criticised by Canadian. We
claim the value of farm, factory or other
property is in proportion to the amount Of
profit ON the investment If, as stated by
our provincial neighbor. real estate isas
high in Carlton county. New Brunswick, as
in Aroostook county, Maine, then the income
should be the same, as it costs juss as much
for labor on one side of the line as on the
other, as there is no duty on farm hands, who
can walk across the line carrying lots OF
muscle and undeveloped labor. AS the duty
amounts to nearly 25 per cent on all Canadi-
an farm products brought into Maine, and
as prices in Canada are such that they are
anxious to send their products across, even
with that duty, we cannot see how the proflt
on the investment can give to the Canadian
farm valuation equal to that of the Ameri-
can farm. The statement that the valua-
tions are equal is most certainly an error.
As you go inland, in New Brunswick, away
from the line, labor chespens perceptibly,
and the Canadian will do lots of labor for
small pay.
In regard to the protective tariff, or reve-
nue., / should differ from those high in au-
thority. Ny opinion is that we should tax
fabrics and protect our manufactures and
agricultural interests, whether it be sugar
in Louisiana or farm products In Maine. The
geographical position of the latter State, it
being wedge driven up into Can
ada, would suffer more than any
State in the Union by free trade
as our farmers no more than
prosper with nearly every article
of production protectee. Ii we
have'a surplus in our treasury pass it round
to us farmers. We need it to pay our taxes.
Taken as q whole we pay more than our pro-
portion. Protect the agriculturists, as they
are the spinal column to the whole national
system.
American labor also should be protected.
The American people have been taught home
protection, yet we open wide our doors and
invite all people from any cline to come to
our shores. This is flooding this country
with felons, paupers and Anarchists, sent
here to rid other countries of their danger
GUS or loaths0me presence. They are prov
ing the greatest curse of the age, being tax
on our industries and filling up our work.
shops and jals Others are tramping our
Streets endangering our citizens by commit
ting crimes and depredations. A proscrip-
ton should be placed on this class OF emil
grafton by our government, and the sooner
the better. American labor is debased by
introducing the class of laborers TO be seen
in our city streets or on the lines of new rail-
road enterprises. While 1t is argued that
labor, we consider the question an open one
when we take into consideration the many
disadvantages that must acrue to future gen.
erations In the introduction Of such unen-
lightened, low and ignorant classes.

The dispute between the Reading company
and their miners seems to be one eminently
fit for arbitration. 1t relates entirely to
wages. The miners contend that the reduc-
ton proposed will place their wages at SO
low figure that they will not be able to sup
port themselves and their families, and the
company has made public no good reason for
the reduction. Coal is higher than for some
years, and there is no good reason why the
company should reap the sole benefit Of this
enhancement of price. The laborer is wor-
thy of his hire, and it ought to be big enough
to furnish him the necessaries of life. III
the condition Of the Reading company and
its business is such that it cannot afford to
pay that much it ought to be able and willing
to show it before an impartial board of arbi-
tration. Indeed it ought to welcome the op-
portnnity which arbitration will furnish to
show either that the miners representations
are not true or that the company does not
have the ability to meet its employees reason
able demands. Refusal to arbitrate under
the circumstances will be construed by the
public as tantamount to an admission that
the miners demands are just and that the
company can, but will not because of its
greediness, accede to them.

the Pacific railroads commission than with
that Of the majority, and win recommend its
suggestions to the favorable consideration
of Congress. The minority report looks
simply to the punishment of the men who
are alleged to have defrauded the govern

the roads, and makes no attempt at deyising
means to get the governments money bad.

that the right men could be punished this
