Days of the CIausen Regime.
Chief Inspector Reishus, of the state
grain department. yesterday made pub
lie personal letter to ]. D. Shanahan,
inspector Of the port of Buffalo, N. Y,
in answer to statements attributed to
the latter regarding Minnesota grain in
spection. To bear out the correctness of
his statements, he produced Liverpool
market reports showing that Minnesota
grain is holding its own and commanding
a good price.
The letter to Mr.. Shanahan Is in an
swer to an interview purporting to come
from and published In the Buffalo News
and later in the ST. Paul Dispatch. fire.
quent in it's attacks on the state in
spector Mr.. Reishus says in his letter:
My attention has been called to clip
ping from the st. Paul Dispatch, where,
in a purported interview l am made to
say that / believe q charge" that the
best Minnesota northern is mixed IN BUT
falo elevators with inferior wheat from
Nebraska, Kansas and other states; also
a clipping from the same paper of more
recent date wherein you are quoted in
that Mr. Reishus makes against the Buf-
falo elevators and grain trade do not
hesitate to say that they are utterly false
and have no foundation in fact.
When I was in the Northwest last spring
I endeavored to tell the people of Min
nesota through the press that they could
not sell No. 2 northern or No. 8 winter
to the Eastern or foreign buyers by COW
ering it with No. 1 northern certificates,
and 1t looks to me that they had come
to realize the fact. It comes with bad
grace from Mr. Reishus to blame the
Buffalo elevators for something they are
entirely innocent OF. :"
Ordinarily, I pay but little attention to
by the partisan press, but In order to do
away with any possible misunderstand-
ing as between you and me, l desire to
say that as far as the purported inter-
up out of whole cloth. Not a scintilla Of
truth in it. have. never said that the
best Minnesota northern wheat Is mixed
at Buffalo or elsewhere, nor that l. be-
lieve 1t was mixed. AS a matter of fact,
there was no occasion for me to make
any such statements, as the market re-
ports show that the Northwestern wheat
sells at a price both in New York and
Liverpool which must be highly salts
factory to the shippers as well as compli-
mentary to the Minnesota grain 1nspec-
ton department.
May@I presume upon your friendship
sufficient to ask you to make an effort
with those in the grain trade In your
am reported to have said. to correct the
sa'De' e S. Reishus, Chief Inspector.
In defense of the methods Of the de-
partment and in answer to charges made
against 1t, Mr.. Reishus called attention
to quotations from the Liverpool mar
