Governments Decision to Pre-
sent American Jews Petit
ton. Causes Surprise
BEGIN RETALIATION
Action Is Regarded as a Two Edged
Sword, Serving to Answer Jewish
Protest Against Massacre, and to Re-
taliate for Russia's Opposition to
Opening Ports in Manchuria.

Washington. June 27.-The Russian
government has learned with profound
regret of the intention of Washington
authorities to forward to st. Peters
burg a petition from American Jews
relative to Russia's treatment of her
Jewish subjects. 1t is yet hoped that
the United States will appreciate the
Russian view of the case and will con-
ten, itself With the kindly expressions
Of sympathy which it has already Of
fered for the affair at kishineff.
The Russian position regarding what
is considered outside interference in
the internal affairs of Russia. already
made public. continues to be held and
there is official authority for the state
ment that Mr.. Riddle, the American
charge, when he presents the petition
at the Russian foreign office. will be
received with the same cordially al
ways accorded an American envoy.
In returning the petition to Mr.. Rid
die the officials will assure him that
United States and that the action it
takes with respect to the petition is
necessary in. view of Russias unalter-
able policy of refraining from inter-
ference in the internal affairs of other
powers. and insisting on similar treat
ment for itself.
The Russian government hopes it's
firmness in the matter will not be mis-
understood. but in view of the an
nouncement of its position weeks ago
it is surprised at the developments
which will force a reiteration of its
views.
Mr. Riddle, it can be stated. will he
subject to no personal embarrassment
in presenting the petition. and he will
be given To understand that the St.
Petersburg authorities appreciate the
fact that he is only carrying out his
orders.
Should the presentation OF the Pc
titon be deferred until the return to
ST. Petersburg of Mr.. Mccormick, the
American ambassador, to Russia. the
same program will obtain unless, in the
meantime, the Russian government is
made aware of extenuating circumstan-
ces. which put the matter in a differs
ent light.
Indeed. It is declared that Russia
would be glad to do anything possible
to relieve the tension in the United
States, but feels unable to sacrifice a
principle which it has followed hitherto
and the American support of which it
has warmly endorsed.
The Russian government readily adj
mits the sincerity of the American
governments decision. and declines TO
listen to reports that the forwarding
of the petition has any Interior sgnif-
canoe or is in any way associated with
any other matters.

Freight Line Taxes.

State Auditor S. G. Iverson has noti-
fed the freight line companies doing
business in Minnesota to report the
amount of capital stock, real estate
value, mileage and other information
relating to the business condition of
the companies on or before July 81
for taxation purposes, under the law
passed by the recent Legislature. Mr.:
lverson estimates that the law will
add from $4,000 to $4,000 to the states
revenues.
Freight line companies have not
been required to pay taxes since Feb.
%, 1902. A law passed in 1897 and
amended in 1899 required the COM
panies to pay a fat rate of per cent.
This, the supreme court decided, was
unconstitutional. The new law speci-
fies that the rate shall be the average
rate fixed by the state on other
classes of property.
The law provides that the state
board of equalization shall ascertain
the value of the capital stock of each
company in the state by substracting
from the company's entire capital
stock the value of it's real estate and
taking proportion of the result
based on the proportion of the state
mileage to the company's entire mile

DESTROY THE WEEDS.
Concerted Action ON the Part of the
Farmers OF ComniunitylI.--. /. s,:ssE.:: ,i,::
I Always Effective. * s.sfs,,

The roads and railroads are great
factors in weed distribution all over
the country. The seeds Of many plants,
are annually emptied upon our shores
IN the ballast left by sea vessels.from,
foreign countries. Seeds also travel
many miles and get iberalM disirib-
uted from the straw and chaff That
is packed about shipments of goods.
The worst distributors of bad weed
seeds, however, are the neglected fence
corners and overlooked roadsiGes
where the destructive splants are al
lowed to grow and give their seeds to
the winds, scattering them for miles
over held and farm. One thistle left
to grow by the roadside will seed
territory for three and sometimes five
miles round about it. Concerted action
on the part of the farmers of COM
munlty is the best and surest method
OF getting rid of weeds, and the begin
ming of the year good time to ar
range plans for the campaign. In at
tempting to rid a field of weeds, those
growing in the fence corners, by the
bitches, and neglected places should
not be forgotten. The work of de-
struction should be begun early in the
year; that will make it easier. The
work must be started early enough to
Kill the weeds before they begin to
ripen. Cutting when in flower will de-
stroy many weeds. Thistles, tarweed,
and all members of the suntlower fam
lily, if cut while in bloom, will ripen
and the seeds will mature. If cut at
such times they should be piled and
burned: Cultivation during the dry
months of the summer is injurious to
weeds and beneficial to crops, such as
corn and potatoes. The only way to-
get rid of wild mustard in grain fields
is to wait till the mustard blooms; at
the time when the plants show up
bright and yellow, go Over the field and
pull every one, piling and burning
them. In addition to the above men
toned there are four bad weeds that
are dreaded foes of the farmer and
that are becoming all too numerous in
every state. These are the French
pink, dog fennel, white daisy and moth
mullen. Some states have laws pro-
hibiting the growing of any of these
weeds on the farm, and in some stat es
there are laws prohibiting one or more
of them. But good ia~ss are ike good
resolutions and good intentions, i. e.,
good for nothing unless put into oper-
alton. Intelligent and patient coop
Grafton is of course the only law that
is good for anything in this case.
Something like the Salvation Army
principle of work and the world works
with you. But where the individual
farmer has to work alone in this mat
ter, the Epitomist can from experience
recommend the Angora goat. He is a
destroying and redee ming angel and
little factory combined, for he removes
the weeds and brush, opening up the
land to tillage, and makes something

School Land Sales.

State Auditor S. G. Iverson an

sold until next October. Mr.. Iverson
believes that the land is good invest
ment and should not be forced on the

only where actual settlement is con-
templated.
The law makes the state auditor ex-
officio- land commissioner and pro-
hibits him from disposing of more
than 100000 acres a year. The state
has about 1,25O,0OO acres of school
land unsold situated mainly in Itasca,

Last year 100000 acres were sold at
an average Of $9.7S an acre, 1854

been obtained for the previous 40
