North Dakota Farmers Ship Wheat Into

North Dakota Farmers Ship Wheat Into
Manitoba Free of Duty.
LANGDoN, N. D., Dec. 21.-The exist
ence of sort of free trade between this
country and Manitoba has been discov-
cred by some business men, who allege
that all the wheat of the northwestern
part of this county, which has always
been hauled here, has been this year
taken across the line and shipped from
Manitoba points, the distance being
much less, and no duty has been
charged. Those who have investigated
say that custom house officers permit
the farmers from this county to take
their wheat duty free to Crystal City.
The reason for this abolition of the
duty is said to be the fact that Mani
TOBIAS wheat crop was a failure and
the mills of Winnipeg must have the
wheat from any source. 1t is alleged
that the premier of Manitoba refuses to
interfere in the matter and that the
railway officials are very much dis
turbed over the loss of the grain car
riage. The duty was 10 cents per
bushel.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.
They are Coming in and Easing the
City Treasury.

City Recorder Brown has been busy
for some time figuring out the special
assessments for water mains, side
walks and sprinkling, in order to
certify them to the county auditor, so
that they can be placed on next years
tax roll. The tax of five cents per
lineal foot for water mains amounts
to So, 230 so, the tax for repairs to side
walks foots up 1861, 63, and the street
Sprinkling assessments figure up ST.
497 so. These aggregate $6,0S9 90,
which amount will come back in next
springs tax payments.
The city treasurer is daily receiving
payments of special assessments for
the macaddmiZing of Front street and
other work done during the year, and
this, together with payments for
liquor licenses, accounts for the favor
able showing made at Saturday nights
meeting of the council. The receipts
have recently been more than the eX-
penditures, and it was possible to can
Gel a note for 81, 500 and still have
more than enough money left to pay
the current expenses
1t is believed that on April 1st a
more favorable showing in city fl
naDces will be made than for years.
The council has been reasonably
economical during the past year.

THE BELGRADE ELECTION.
The Constitutional Amendment Will
Not Affect the Vote.

A special election to vote on the
proposition to appropriate $500 toward
the construction Of foOtwayS along the
Minnesota river bridge has been called
in the town of Belgrade for next We'd
neSday, Dec. 23rd. Mr.. David Sever
ance wrote to the attorney general TO
ascertain whether the constitutional
amendment limiting the elective
franchise to citizens would be in effect
at that time, and received reply to-
day that it would not. The state can
vassing board has not yet made it's re-
port, and it is not officially known
that the constitutional amendment
carried.
1t is learned that there is division
of sentiment on the question and that
there is good deal of doubt whether
the proposition will be carried. The
farmers are divided On it, and there
is said to be some opposition among
the North Mankato residents who
want a new bridge further up the
river. Those who favor the PROPOSE
tion will have to do some hard work
to carry it.
