TARIFF TALK IN germany
WAS A LIVELY DISCUSSION.
Wheat and Meat Cost Much More Ac-
cording to New Schedules-Wnr
Predlcted--VioIent storms Are

Berlin, July 20.-A lively discussion
of the tarirt question broke out last
week on the publication of the new
agricultural schedule by the Stunt.
CART Boebachtter. which claims TO
have authentic information on this
matter on recent tariff conference.
The most striking features Of the
schedule are the high duties and the
minimum and maximum charges on
cereals. The figures are the lowest
admissible in commercial treaties.
while the maximum charges are Go
marks per ton on wheat and 60 marks
per ton on rye and oats. The mini.
mum charge on wheat is So marks
per ton and on rye and on oats 50
marks. The present duties on rye
and wheat are 35 marks per ton and
on oats 20 marks.
Animals and meats are without
minimums. The duties on swine
have been raised from so marks per
ton to 100 marks per ton. Meat, lard
and calves are scheduled for consid.
cradle increase. Sausages are raised
from 10 to $50 marks per ton, but.
ter and cheese from Is and 20 marks
to 80 marks per ton and eggs from
20 to 60 marks. The conservative
and agrarian papers ignore or doubt
, the story printed by the Stuttgart
Boebachtter, which other papers
have, however, Investigated on their
own account and substantially con.
firm the Boebachtter schedule.
The Frankfurter Zeitung AYERS
that the commercial treaties will be
impossible under such duties and
says: Tariff wars are in Germany S
future, if the government realizes its
intention"
The Tageblatt considers the SEIZED
ule to be monstrous. and prints sta
tistics showing that the new duties
on the basis of the imports for 1900
mean an increased expenditure Of
66,000,000 marks to the consumer, not
to mention the rise in prices on do
nestle products, and argues that the
United States and Russia, two of Ger
many's best customers, would adopt
reprisals were the duties put into eff
| feet.
The Voerwaerts characterizes the
published schedule as usurious. The
Hamburger Correspondent says the
government will publish the tariff
bill in a few days.

Chief Fire Warden and His Latest
Trip North.
Gen, C. G. Andrews, chief forest fire
warden of Minnesota, has furnished to
the press the following relative to the
region he has just visited in Beltramt
county:
IT returned Saturday from the fourth
trip, through different townships each
time, and by team, that I have made
within six years in the wooded county
Of Beltrami. The area OF Beltrami
county would make twenty counties OF
the size of Ramsey county. The state
itself owns 2oo,0 900 acres in it, which
some time must be sold for not less
than IS an acre, and the public Is on
many accounts interested in its devel-
opment. My trip this time was to
Black Duck, twenty-five miles north-
east Of Bemidji, within a moderately
%undulating and richly forested region
of mixed timber-poplar, red and white
birch, elm, ash, maple, large n
thrifty spruce, some balsam, with
handsome red and white pines inter-
spersed; also numerous bodies Of cedar
and tamarack. Settlements began to
be made in it eight years ago., but
there is much land that can yet be
taken under the homestead law. To
soil will yield the usual crops"

ROT TIME FoR ALL TO voTH.
Towns IRE Puzzled by the New II.
brnry Law.

Towns Are Puzzled by the New Ii.
brnry Lnw.
!, The smaller cities and towns Of the
state that have public libraries and
library boards are asking questions
about the act Of the legislature last
winter providing for the election Of a
library board Of nine members to
supersede the present boards appointed
by ago The elections r to be
held the third Saturday in July, subs
sequent to the passage Of the act.
Women may vote and the polls are to
remain open only one hour. The voting
is all at a single precinct instead of in
the regular way. The use Of the Aus
tralian ballot is optional with the cleo
ton judges, as far as can be de-
termined by the law. It says 'by bal
lot" only.
The attorney generals office has re-
ceived letters from several cities IN
quiring for Information whether the
law was to be complied with strictly
and whether the act in itself legislated
the old boards out of office.
Assistant Attorney General Dona-
hover has sent out opinions in reply to
these letters to the effect that the OLD
boards were legislated ou OF ONCE py
the new act and that as 1t was the
plain intent Of the legislature that all
the electors should vote at the elections
the election Judges should use their
judgement in keeping the polls open
until all that presented themselves at
the polls within the prescribed hour
had cast their votes.
The act applies to cities and towns
Of less than $4,000 population, and IN
most Of them that can afford to have a
public library it is a manifest impos-
sibility for ali the electors to
within the hour allowed for the polls
to be open. The law is very explicit
and gives no option as to the manner
of holding the election. 1t Is not elias
tic enough to allow the election judges
to hold the polls open until all have
voted, but only until all who have been
present within the prescribed hour
have voted. The law does not provide
for definite returns Of the elections.
Neither does it say when the new
board shall take Office.

Moisture IL Ample.
At the close Of the preceding week
heavy, well distributed showers set in
intervals during the past week, about
two inches Of rain, on an average, fall
ing during that time, which revived all
vegetation, that had been suffering
more or less severely for the previous
month, and gave the ground a good
soaking. In the northern, and, in fact,
in most of the central portions Of the
state, there was a fall of snow, which
Immediately melted and went into the
ground. The rains and snow were fol-
lowed on the 7th by a killing frost in
nearly all parts of the state, so severe
that it froze most Of the corn, potatoes
and gardens down, but did little or no
damage to grain, except some early
sown flax which was up.
All grain, as a rule, looks very good,
and is now growing rapidly. The rains
were followed by cool weather, with
light winds, and most Of the moisture
that fell was absorbed by h ground.
Wheat is stooling very well, and in
several parts Of the state where h
grain was being crowded out by weeds
and especially the Russian thistle, they
been killed by frost, a clear
field for the grain remains.
Cut-worms are doing some damage
in the northwestern part of h state,
and grasshoppers are also making their
appearance, in the Red and Missouri
river valleys.
What flax and other late grain had
not been sown, but was waiting Tor
rain, is now being put in the ground as
rapidly as possible, the condition OF
which, for early termination OF seed,
could not be better.
