hauls carload of cement 410 miles fol-
nothing
On mileage basis taking the Chicago
rate into consideration, Minneapolis is en-
titled to rate on cement to Fargo OF
at most ten cents, but is forced to pay
twice that.
If Minneapolis wholesaler is buying
cement for the Fargo trade at Jefferson
vile, Ind, he pays a rate Of six cents
from Jeffersonville to Chicago and ten
cents from Chicago to Minneapolis max
ing total rate of sixteen cents. He
must then figure the twenty cent rate
from Minneapolis to Fargo.
The Long Haul Cheaper.
The Chicago wholesaler pays the six
cent rate from Jeffersonville to Chicago,
and then figure on rate of twenty cents
to Fargo giving him the advantage of ten
cents per hundred, which, on barrel OF
cement, amounts totwenty-six cents.
Milwaukee and Racine also have the
same rate to Fargo as Minneapolis on ce-
ment although the distance is much great
er. This is discrimination with big "D'.
If the dealer will wait long enough for
his cement the Minneapolis wholesaler
can order it shipped from Chicago direct
to Fargo and be on the Chicago basis; but
If the dealer wants his cement quick the
Minneapolis wholesaler must bid against
this freight discrimination or let the busi-
ness PO to Chicap0

ply, is entitled to all of the advantage on

RumOrs From Ohio to Be Investi-

RumOrs From Ohio to BE Investi-
gated by State Department.
From The Journal Bureau. RoOns ks, POss
Building. Washington.
Washington, Aug. 14.-By order OF AS
sistant Secretary Taylor, of the treasury
department, an inspector of immigration
has been sent to Bellaire, Ohio, to look
into reports that the proprietors of the
steel mills are arranging to import Euro
pean labor to take the place of strikers.
Milton Smiley, who has charge of the dis
trict including Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia, was wired last night to look into
the matter.
Although he sent an inspector, Secretary
Taylor says he has little belief in the
truth of the reports. He said some tele-
grams had been received from representa-
tives of the union, saying that the steel
company there had engaged Belgians and
Germans to come and work in the mills.
He believes these reports are mere rumors
without foundation, but he considered the
best way to determine is to send an in
spector. If evidence is found that the
law against contract la Dor importation
Is being violated the department will not
hesitate to stop the Immigrants and send
them back. The penal features of the law
will also be enforced against violators.

The Clerks Error.

A clerk in a Wisconsin street dry
goods store had always prided himself
on his ability to win the customers who
entered the shop with children, and was
particularly strong with the mother
with babe in arms says the Milwaukee
correspondence of the Chicago Chron-
icle. He had boosted that he never fall
ed to win the mother by judicious
praise and handling of the infant, and
his fellow clerks were a trifie Jealous
of him until this week. when an incl
dent occurred which has made him
avoid all the children that come in the
store.
He was quite familiar with the mod
ern method of dressing babies and
young children which left their tiny
legs bare. and when a fashiona bly,
dressed matron entered the store with
bundle in her arms from which de-
pended one bare leg he was quick to
seize the opportunity. Approaching
with his most deferentiaI air he patted
the bare leg of what he supposed was
the baby in the bundle with the remark
in the choicest of baby talk: Lovely
little footsie wootsies."
The woman drew back in indignant
rage, turned purple with wrath at the
insult stamped her foot in anger and
with the ejaculation, You wretch, f"
swept out of the store, never to enter
1t again, for it was her arm the Iuckless
clerk had patted and she had never had

A Minnesota Fish story.

There are fishermen and fishermen,
but of all the fishermen of Lake Min
netonka, stilus Jones, journalist and
disciple of Izaak Walton, is for the
time being the seasons champion, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
The redoubtable Stilus captured a
very healthy nine-pound pickerel in the
shadows off the Fairview beach Thurs
day by laying down on it, This is
said to be the first time in the local
finnish history when a man has lain
down on his fish and then been able to
show it to his neighbors.
Stilus went out with a brother crafts
man Thursday trailing a small frog
at the end of a long line. while his
brother in arms did the rowing. Two
hundred yards from shore Stilus got a
strike.
He was Immediately rowed to shore
and started to beach his fish, which
was sulking in true pickerel fashion.
When Mr.. Fish came in sight and his
size became apparent, Stilus began TO
lose flesh, but continued to reel.
No sooner had the capture struck
bottom, however. than the line parted
and the pickerel made a dash for deep
water. Stilus made a dash also. He
played ball year ago on the star
Harvard team, and he made a slide
that took him into nearly foot of
water and landed him squarely across
the fish.
Then he did careful feeling stunt
with his good right hand, got a fair
hold of the pickereFs gills. and later
led Triumphant procession from one
end of Fairview to the other.
The fish weighed nine pounds, and
Stilus had to chance his clothes.
