the United States treasury department.
The mica was to be used for electrical
purposes and was shipped from

American territory at Richford,
Vt. There and at other ports the
entries were made and the alleged
otfenses of undervaluatlon committed.
The officials at Richford not being min
eral experts, were not able to form An
opinion respecting its true value. and
so passed 1t at the figures furnished by
the importers. The American officers
claim that duty was paid on only so per
cent of the MICA 'svalue. These officers
say they now have clews to q system
atlc scheme to defraud the customs,
have complete proof Of the workings
OF the smugglers, and that many more
seizures will be niade within few days.
They claim that the practice has been
carried on for three Or four years, most
Of the mica having gone to several
large electrical concerns in Boston and

CANADA LOGS AND THE TARIFF.
Considerable Dissatisfaction Express
at the Removal of Duty

Considerable Dissatisfaction Expressed
at the Removal of Duty
The Cleveland Marine Review says:
While Canadian owners of timber lands
and manufacturers of lumber are find
ing fault with their government, on ac-
count of the removal of the export duty
on logs.in return for the free admission
of lumber under the Mckinley ACT,
the American owners of Canadian tim
ber are taking advantage of the
situation and are rafting large quant,-
ties of logs and cedar ties from the
Georgian bay district. Cedar ties are
being RATED to Cleveland, and owners of
Alpena lumber mills, who succeeded IN
taking one raft of about ] 900 900 feet
of logs across Lake Huron in seventy
two hours, talk of increasing the size Of
the raft to 4,000, 900 feet. The Cieve-
land Cedar Company brought one large
raft of cedar ties from Georgian Bay to
Cleveland without difficulty, but .
second one, started last week, broke
| away from a tug and is now being
picked up by vessels from the Canadian
shore above Port Huron. Vessel own
ers do not take kindly to the rafting
system, as freight on the ties when car
RED by the vessels is fairly remuuera-
| tive.
If present relations regarding lumber
| between Canada and United States
! governments are continued, it lie certain
| that Canada's big area of timber lands
IN the vicinity of Lake Huron will be
| drawn on largely 10y the American de-
mand, as the decrease in Michigan's 5
supply has compelled eastern dealers
| IL resort to Minnesota and Wisconsin,
necessltating big increase in freighis.
| Figures recently produced 10y the GEN.
sus snow that Mlnnesota 10 now the
center of white pine supplies. and the
! increased lake trade in lumber from
the head of Lake Superior is a forcibie
| indication of the change. There are
now really hut three white pine states
| Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. In
| Minnesota the manufacturers have TO-.
| 900, 900 900 feet of standing pine, the
state has 10000. 900 900 feet. and the
| Federal government 20, ,000. .000, 900 feet
a total OF 80 ,000. .000. 900 feet-muTe than

turers IN the group OF three states.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July l9.-H. +.
Lawson, a prominent stockman OF DEM
ing, n. NJ, has arrived here and gives
an account of the grasshopper rsvages
IN the northern and western counties OF
New Mexico, where he says they are
doing incalculable damage.
Some consider them l7-year locusts,
which ravaged the West during the
seventies. The lands are grazing III
New Mexico, but the locusts are moving
east and north IN two principal swarms.
driving grasshoppers on the range and
leaving the alkali bush.
They stripped the vegetation and
leaves of the trees and left nothing hut
the dry alksll earth. Where they have
struck the Rio Grande, where the land
IS cultivated, they have ravageo the
ground of every thing IN sight.
They move in lunches of four and
five miles wide. One bunch has de-
vastated Colfax and Mora. IN the north
ern part Of the territory, and Is spread
ing into Colorado, Kansas and the
panhandle Of Texas, while another
bunch will reach the central Texas line
by winter.
They do not make much progress
after flying, but the eggs they lay hatch
and new batch flies eastward. They
will keep moving in this way and lay
billions of eggs in Texas and Kansas for
next seasons Matching.
1t will be bad FOR the ranges OF west
ern Texas. for if they cross New Mexico
they will have no trouble Oh the old
staked plains. They may not reach
eastern Texas next week soon enough
to destroy the crops, but ] fear for
