District Commanders.
The present custom makes the dis.

that experience has long ago con-

GOOD MONEY IN
GROWING GINSENG

In Corea believe Il Is to their interest
to keep up the price Of the most val
liable ginseng, even II they have to de-
stroy a part of the crop to do 80.
A great and lucrative business on
the Corean frontier Is to smuggle gin
seng over into China. Minister Allen
wrote. four years ago. that the declar-
ed amount of the ginseng imported in
to China from Corea was supposed to
represent not more than one.half OF
the total importations, so great was
the amount of smuggling.
The Chinese think that any ginseng
coming from countries other than CO.
rea Is rather small potatoes compared
with the superior product OF that coun.
try. They appraise Corean ginseng,
for example, about nine times as high
as they do the American root. Our
ginseng is of different variety and Is
not so highly esteemed. But perhaps
the Chinese would buy more OF our
cheaper root than is sent to them. rs
the poorer people use II, usually max
ing desperate effort, however. to buy
a little of the Corean root mixed with
the American importation. The keep
ers OF chinese shops prepare the mix
turc and thus cheaper the price. The
cheapest ginseng comes from Japan
and is used principally by those who
cannot aHord the other KINDS.

FOR NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Lumbermen to Hold an Important
Meeting at St. Louis.

Lumber manufacturers from all parts
Of the country will meet at st. Louis week
after next to form a national association.
Although there are many organizations in
the trade at present each of them repre-
sents only a few states.
In commenting upon the call for the
proposed convention the Mississippi VAL
ley Lumberman says:
Zone of the prime reasons given for a
national organization is that such a body
could handle such questions the car
supply, car equipment, insurance, GUS
toms as to the extension of credits. uni
form grades and revision of the tariff.
All these questions are Of greater or less
interest to all lumber nanufa cturers. I'm
doubtedly the representatives of a body
composed Of all the lumber manufacturers
of the country would have greater influ-
ence than would the representatives Of an
isolated body. In far q. national
organization could take up matters that
interest all in the same way, the move
ment ought to receive the support of the
manufacturers from al sections Of the
country. However, many of these
questions must be treated in a different
manner in each different part Of the coun-
tempting to satisfy all the members Of the
proposed association. 49,,

tween the manufacturers Of the north and
south proved beneficial to both, and much
benefit can be derived from the coming

Almost anyone could envy an alderman
nowadays. What a contrast there is be-
tween the old council chamber with its

magnificence is no larger than the old one.
It is, however, twenty feet higher, even
higher than the rotunda Of the West hotel

NO MINI. STANDARDS
There Is Not an Official WEIGHT or
Measure in the
State.
Absence Of State Standards Invali-
dates Those Now Used by
Counties and Cities.

Recent complaints regarding short
"e1ghts and measures which have been
made against local retailers have induced
county Treasurer D. G. Bell, who is the
official sealer Of weights and measures in
Hennep1n county to look into the law gov
ernlng the case. Some time ago Mr.. Bell
was called upon officially to seal a beer
measure owned by one Of the local brew
cries. When he attempted to comply with
the request the standard measure could
not be found. He then applied to the
state treasurery who wrote back saying
that the state treasurery had been without
official weights and measures ever since the
old capitol burned. This was more than
twenty years ago, and as the law requires
that all weights and measures in posses
sion OF county authorities must be COM
pared with the state standards, at least
once in every five years to make them
legal. it follows that there is not a legal
weight measure in the whole state
In response to Mr.. Bells inquiry, State
Treasurer Block replied that he could dc
nothing in the matter unless the legisa-
ture should take action empowering him
to secure a set Of standard weights and
measures from the federal government at
Washington, where the standards for the
country are kept.
The city standards are compared with
those Of the county; and unless the county
weights and measures are legal, it must
follow that the city standards could not
withstand a test case, should one be
brought. .> f..
For these reasons Mr. Bell has appointed
no deputies and Hennepin county, in com
mon with other couties throughout the
state, has no men who are competent tt
pass upon the measures or weights useC
by tradeSmen In their business. r.

Makers of Sawmill Machinery Lead
Movement to Stop Cut
Throat Tactics.
They Believe That Pulling Together
Will Prove Profitable for
All Concerned.

A movement has been started by the
machinery manufacturers Of Minneapolis,
principally the makers Of saw mill ma
chinery, to form a local association to
boom the city as a great machinery CEN
ter and to stop ruinous competition be-
tween the local manufacturers. With
possibly one exception, the suggestion
has been favorably received by them
They argue that flour city is rapidly
forging to the front in this particular line
and that. there is no reason why more of
this class Of business doesn't come here.
Nearly every kind of machinery is made
here. and in saw mill outfits several diff
ferent makes are manufactured here.
If the association is formed, a building
will be rented to make an exhibit of the
machinery and an effort will be made at
stated times of the year to get special
rates on the railroads to bring people to
the city. i, 49,. -
novel suggestion has been made that
each piece of machinery be fixed so that
power can be applied and show how the
machine works in operation. This is al
ways the best test. A sale can be made
this way where an elaborate exhibition of
the best points of the machine will fail
to convince prospective customer.

His Attorney Moves to Have the
Two New Indictments
Set Aside.
Defendant Swears to a Belief That
Charges Are Based Upon His
Own Testimony.

A. H. Hall, attorney for Joseph Cohen,
appeared before Judge Elliott at noon, to-
day, and formally presented two motions
to have set aside the indictments returned
against his client by the present grand
jury. The motions are based upon the
fact that Cohen was called before the
jury as a witness, it being a well recog-
nized principle of criminal law that man
cannot be indicted on testimony furnished
by himself, unless he appears before the
grand jury voluntarily. ''it
The motions are accompanied by affi-
davits, signed by Cohen, and in which he
states that he believes the indictments In

timony. However, the witness named on

Northwestern Has Proposition to
Lengthen Playing Limit r.,
to Five Years. ;"

From Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, Nov. U.s. The ACCESSIBILITY Of
charging the western inter- collegiate
conference was the chief subject of dis
cussion for that body at its meeting at the
Victoria hotel in Chicago to-day. Appli-
cations for admission to the big nine
| were received from Nebraska and Notre
| Dame, but when the conference took re-
cess at 80 this afternoon no decision
| had been reached upon either applica-
| tion.. The members Of the conference
were unusually reticent in regard to their
deliberations, but so far as an indication
of the sentiment Of the members could be
obtained it. appeared likely that both uni
versities would be turned down. Nebraska
seems to have less chance of success
| than Notre Dame, on account of the geo.
graphical location Of the former inst1tu-
ton, which is out of the proper territory
Of the big nine.
The proposition of Northwestern to ex-
tend the playingrlinit sto< five years Will
probably be brought UP this afternoon or
evening, but 1t is hardly likely that the
conference will agree to 1engthen the
period Of eligibility. It is generally felt
that four years is a reasonable limit, ana
that to allow any student to partlclpate
in college athletics for a longer perloo
would not help to encourage pure spor.. t
Earl Schneider, the old Wisconsin foot
ba II; player, who was barred from college
athletics last fall, is here, and Wisconsin
will make a strong effort to have him
reinstated. According to the statements
of Wisconsin men, schreiber has done
good work in his classes during the last
year, and Wisconsin holds that he has
been punished enough. No effort will be
made by Minnesota to have Mueller re-
instated as the big guard has made him
