LET SHIPPERS REFUSE
WAY TO STOP DOCKAGE CHARGES
Charles Fox, London Manager OF
Pillsbury-Washburn Co. Offers
q Solution.

Charles Fox. the London manager and
foreign representative Of the Pillsbury
Washburn company, is in the city as the
guest of General Manager Henry L. Lit
tie. He says that the American shippers
alone have the power to do away with
the London dock charges on American
-four. This is his statement:
The steamship companies insert in their
bills of lading a clause which provides for the
payment of 40 cents per ton for dockage at
London. This is in addition to other charges
such as those for unloading and storage, and
American -four only is subjected to 1t. The
importer is compelled to pay the charge and
add 1t to the price of his -four, which places
the American product at a disadvantage with
the -four imported from other countries. The
importers have objected to this charge and
it is now up to the shipper" to force the
reform. American shippers should refuse to
accept a bill of lading containing this clause
OF to consgn their -four on such terms.
The Yankee invasion of foreign markets
has only begun. We have big opportunities
ahead Of US, and we must take advantage OF
them The people of the United Kingdom
have a friendly feeling for us, which will
greatly assist us in securing trade there.
AS a people we should do less boasting and
conduct our campaign for trade more quietly
in order to be the most successful.

was stabbed in the left side of the ab-

Both were in the saloon in the afternoon
Johnson, according to the report to the

a jocular way for some time. He believed
his companions were going to harm him,
and is said to have declared to Herman

would kill the man who hit him, If he
could find him. Later he disappeared,

The humble but Industrious Mississippi
river clam appears to be breaking into the
best society. On her recent visit to
Minneapolis, Nine. Nordica whiled away
her spare time among the shops of the
city. The diva has had opportunity TO
develop and indulge rather nice tastes in
gems and while looking over the assort-
ment at Hudson's her attention was at
tracted by tray of wonderfully lustrous
pearls. She asked what they were.

lishment, lis the far-famed sweet water
pearl, found only in the waters of the
