Special to The Journal.
Thief River Falls, Feb 27-Mayor
Frank H. Kratka of this city returned from
Washington yesterday in company with
Major James Mclaughlin, U. S. A., inspec
tor of the Indian bureau, the man who
has negotiated all treaties with the vari
Gus Indian tribes for the last six years.
1t is the purpose of Major Mclaughlin
to perfect treaty with the Red Lake
band of ChippeWas for the cession of all
Of their reservation which lies outside of
Beltraml county. This land, comprising
the western portion of the reservation, is
prairie and has not figured in the dead
and down" timber fight or in the forest
reserve discussion. al... a.
The major expresses confidence in his
ability to secure reasonable treaty with
the Indians for the purchase of this land
in time to prepare for its opening some
time this summer.
The Commercial club extended recep-
ton last evening at Odd Fellows hall to
Major Mclaughlin and Mayor Kratlxa. Mr.
Kratka was heartily congratulated upon
the success Of his mission to Washington
and the club assured the major that
everything in it's power would be done to-
further the success of his undertaking. 1t
seems certain the west portion of the Red
Lake reservation will be thrown open to
settlement this summer -
Major Mclaughlin and party will leave
for the agency tomorrow and the Indians
have made extensive preparations to re-
ce1ve them in true aboriginal fashion.
Tom toms and war paint will be the order
OF the day pending the settlement of the
negotiations. Several business men of the
city will be at the agency during the
poW-WoW.

THAT CIGAR DUTY
Petition for Rebate on Stocks Faith
cred by Henry Doerr.
THE MAKERS OF ALL-HAVANAS
They Say Removal Of Duty Means
Absolute Annihilati0n $3.50
for Them.

Henry Doerr, of Winecke & Doerr, large
cigar importers in this city, is author of
the petition for rebates on stocks of i'm
ported cigars now on hand, presented to
the congressional ways and means COM
mittee by Congressman Tawney. Copies
were sent to Senators Nelson and Clapp
and Congressman Fletcher, and word has
been received that prompt attention will
be given the matter.
The importers ask a rebate Of the differ
ence between the duty paid upon impor-
tation and the amount which would be
paid under the proposed rate.
When the war revenue tax was reduced,
provision was made for rebates on stocks
of cigars on hand. The duty on imported
cigars levied under the Mckinley act is
an entirely different matter. The import
ers wish to secure such a concession as
was granted when the war tax act was
partly repealed.
At present the importers pay $3.50 per
pound and 25 per cent ad valorem duty.
reduction Of $3.50 per pound on i'm
ported cigars would benefit smokers. The
only cigars affected would be those at Is
cents and two for quarter or over. I'm
ported cigars do not sell for less. The
Key West Decent cigars are made from
imported tobacco, but are not imported
cigars. The smoker who uses high priced
goods would get a better cigar for Is
cents. The reduction on imported tobacco
would undoubtedly make it possible for
smokers to purchase for cents cigars
that now sell at the rate of three for
a quarter. ... F..
On the other hand, comes statement
of the Havana Cigar Manufacturers asso-
citation of the United States to the presi-
dent and congress. A copy was received
in the city to-day. 1t is claimed therein
that of all those affected by the proposed
reciprocity treaty with Cuba none can
be affected as the manufacturers of all
Havana cigars. 1t means not an addi-
tional burden, but total annihilation says
the statement. This industry hires the
highest priced labor in the cigar business.
From $14 to $50 is paid per Thousand.
Under the present rate OF duty the in
duStry has grown to large proportions.
Prior to the passage of the Mckinley act,
the Havana cigar manufacturing business
was insignificant, and prior to the de-
velopment of the business cigar makers in
the United States were underpaid. The
manufacturers want to know how these
| laborers can compete with Cubans. Facts
and figures are given to show that the an
Inhalation claim is we'll founded if uni
! form percent reduction on tobacco and
! cigars is granted.
1t is asserted that the removal Of the
I % per cent duty from tobacco gives re-
| duct1on on raw material of So per thou
| sand, whereas like reduction on import
! ed cigars amounts to about $25 per thou
sand to their competitors. If a rs per
! cent reduction is given to the imported
cigar men, the tobacco importers say it is
absolutely essential to their existence
! that the entire duty be abolished on Ha-
| yana tobacco
