NOTES OF SHIPPING.

Should any new argument be needed
to urge Congressional action IN favor
Of American shipping it can be found
in the circumstances Of the time. The
demand for transports by the United
States for the Philippine service and
by Great Britain for service in carry
ing troops and munitions OF war to the
Tlansvaal has SO reduced the avai!ab l.,
tonnage off the merchant marine os TIE
TWO countries that there is a scarcity
OF ships for the requirements of com
merce. and as a consequence the rates
OF ocean frcishtS have advanced.
Recent adrices are to the effect that
the advance in British grain rates on
the Atlantic since the Transvaal war
began has been six cents bushel
receive that much less profit from :he
grain they send abroad. That much Of
increased tax for transpU rtaton Dllr-
poses has been placed upon the output
and nearly the whole of it goes to Eu-
ropean shipoWners. for they carry up
ports and exports.
# such be the result Of a contest be-
tween Great Britain and a small in ara
country like the TraEsvaal, it is easy
to forasee that .hc effect upon ou.
commerce and our Industries IF a war
between the British and some other

Minneapolis and wanted to purchase a
marriage license. 1t was not for him.
self, but he was willing to pay for it,
and make the necessary affidavit.
The license in question was for
Stephen Heegle, widower. Brown
had not seen the mans wife die, but
he knew he was widower. Heegle is
willing to be married, and Brown
wanted to facilitate the match. Brown
explained that Sophia Brown was the
name of the woman in the case, and
Heegle had fallen in love with her and
she with him, while she was Browns
wife.
Brown did not go and get gun and
start on an expedition of extermina-
ton. He had another plan to get even:
he allowed divorce to be procured,
and for fear the couple might forget to
carry out the whole plan, he secured
the license himself.

started during the coming summer by
the Niksur Cooperative association.
The secretary of the association is now
out looking over number of sites
which have been offered The most
favorably considered site offered is one
near Perham. MINI.
The association desires to contract
for 1000 acres of land which it will pay
for as fast as it is needed, taking only
40 acres the first year. A couple of So
cialistic tailors will be the first colo
nists and they will set up manufac-
turing plant for the benefit of the COM

be modelled after the communities of

The departments which have been es-
tablished by the association thus far
are tailoring and printing.
