Mr.. Robert M Moofman, who for q

Southern newspapers, has just returned
to this city after an absence of six months
in the South. In an interview he points
out n result of Rooseveltism in that sec
ton that has not been generally COM

The negro problem, which has been so
aggravated by President Roosevelt's ac-
tions, presents an industrial as well as q

other changes equally important,
are in serious contemplation with a
view Of increasing the efficiency of
the service. It is the hope and am
bition of the railroad and warehouse
commission and the men in charge
of the details of the work to have
wheat also graded by sample in the
Office, where the sample can be
weighed and inspected more close
ly than is possible under the track
inspection system. There are many
serious obstacles to such consum
nation, but it is only question of
time when they will be overcome.
With the successful establishment
of that custom the work of the de-
partment will be as nearly perfect
as it will be possible to make it.

NINETY AND COSTS.
BOX Car Merchants Caught While Deal
ing out Impure Goods at Hoffman.
(Grocers' Bulletin.)

(Grocers' Bulletin.)
Deputy Commissioner Geo. T..
Dingman and Inspector Davidson
of the Minnesota pure food depart
ment brought grief to the soul of a
box-car merchant at Hoffman, Mimi,
this week.
Mr.. Dingman received hurry up
call from some of the merchants in
that section and responded imme-
diately. When he arrived at Hoff-
man he found the box-car merchant
on the ground preparing to make
deliveries. A local estimate places
the amount Of goods ready for de-
livery at 81, 800
The deal was moving along with
business like precision. "A banker
from Glenwood was acting as cash
Ter gathering in the coin as the
farmers drove up to load their
groceries.
After looking the goods over Mr..
Dingman and Inspector Davidson
decided to take the box-car man
into court for selling syrup illegally
labeled. The defendant was fined
the tidy sum of $50 and costs.
The justice also ordered the dep
uty commissioner and the inspector
to box up all Of the box-car man 5
goods which did not conform to the
pure food laws and ship them back
TO Loverine q Brown, Chicago, the
supply house back of the box car
man.
This is but one of the many in
stances in which Deputy Commits
sioner Dingman aud the staff Of the
pure food department have been of
assistance to the merchants.
The merchant asks that the box
car man be forced to sell goods for
what they are. That means pro
lection to the farmer as we'll as the
The pure food depart
ment sees that the box car man
does that.
Merchants in southern Minnesota
are asking if the department cannot
furnish them with inspectors to
head off the illegal goods sent d.
rect to the farmers on orders
mailed to the varioussupply houses.
The department is unable to COM
ply with these requests because Of
lack of funds.

A BLOW AT
THE FARMERS
John A. Johnson Favors Measure
Which Would Reduce the Price
OF Wheat Ten Cents Bush
Ell by Admitting Cana
- dian Wheat Into Min
IN nes@ta.

In his Minneapolis speech John A.
Johnson, the Democratic candidate
for governor, said: mo man should
be allowed to represent Minnesota
district in congress who is not pledged
to reciprocal trade relations with
Canada" In making this declaration
Mr.. Johnson places himself in direct
opposition to Senator Knute Nelson,
Congressman Volstead, McCleary,
Stevenson, Buchanan and to other
congressional representatives from
agricultural districts of the state, and
it is to be noted that the fight made
against McCleary, Volstead and Stee-
nerson particularly was on this very
issue of reciprocal trade relations
with Canada. These Republican con-
gressmen say very clearly that the es-
tablishment of such relations as Mr..
Johnson advocates means the admis-
sion of vast quantities of Canadian
wheat into Minnesota, which would
undoubtedly reduce the price of Min
nesota wheat It will be found upon
investigation that the price of wheat
at st. Vincent, Mimi, is from to 3
cents higher than it is at Emerson,
Man., just across the international
boundary line. Following the lines of
the Red River valley railroads it will
be found that wheat prices are cor
respondingly higher than the prices
on the Canadian side. If Mr.. Johnson
is able to influence legislation suff1-
cient to bring about what he seems so
ardently to desire, the 100000 bu.
surplus of wheat in Manitoba will be
thrown in Minnesota, and the inevi-
table result would be reduction in
the price of wheat in this state as
well as in North Dakota. The mar
ket price of wheat would be made and
controlled in Winnipeg instead Of
Minneapolis and Duluth, as at pres.
emit, and the farmers of Minnesota and
North Dakota would lose in conse-
Quence an average of 10 cents on ev-
cry bushel of wheat they raise. This
is the proposition that Mr.. John A.
Johnson, the Democratic candidate for
governor, advocates.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-11-02

Wheat is poor crop, so far as
quality is concerned. Only three
cars of No. / Hard have been re-
ceived at Minneapolis from the new
crop, while the receipts OF No. /
Northern are very small as COM
pared with those of former years,
The chief defect is the shrunken
condition which reduces the weight.
Much of it which is so bright that
the shippers think it should grade
No. or No. 2, tests only from 48 to
80 pounds to the measured bushel,
and such wheat, under the rules,
cannot grade higher than No. 3 or
No 4. But the present high price
is causing the producers to realize
more from this crop, poor as it is,
than they have generally realized
for crop of much better quality.
The state inspection department
has recently inaugurated a new
method of inspecting coarse grain.
Heretofore, all grain except fax was
inspected in the railroad yards.
The force of inspectors was so
divided up that one man, with his
helpers, covered one yard, and he
gave a grade to every kind of grain
that was found in his territory.
While the Judgment of the different
inspectors is practically uniform
regarding the proper grade for a
car of wheat, there has always been
noticeable variance in Judgment
on the merits of coarse grains, par
ticularly barley and oats. Different
samples of oats and barley were
frequently seen on the tables in the
Chamber of Commerce almost, if
not quite identical in quality, but
bearing a different grade. They
had been graded by different in
spectors whose Judgment, while it
would not, as before said, have
varied perceptibly in the case of
wheat, did vary materially in the
cases in question.

THE QUESTION
OF GOOD ROADS
Compare the Attitude of r. G. Dunn
and John A. johnson or This
important Subject.

John a. Johnson, the Democratic
candidate for governor, In comment
ing upon speech made by Robert G.
Dunn, the Republican candidate for
governor, at West Duluth, Aug. 26,
sneered at statement made by Mr..
Dunn regarding the necessity for the
construction OF good roads in North
ern Minnesota Apparently Mr.. John
son failed to comprehend the facts
and figures quoted by Mr.. Dunn at
that time or to appreciate the impor-
lance that the construction of good
roads is for the settlers Of the par
TALLY developed counties in the North
ern portion &c the state, Mr.. Johnson
passed off the question with flip
pant remark that the bicycle people
would take care of that" Mr.. Dunn,
on the other hand, expressed himself
as strongly in favor of securing better
legislation to enable counties and
townships to construct better roads
where needed, and in the speech re-
ferred to he said: "The only state
fund available for the improvement
of roads il the interest derived from
the internal improvement land fund
of about S280,000 and the per cent
of the proceeds of the sale Of govern
ment lands; the receipts of the lat
ter source will diminish gradually as
the area of public lands decreases.
This fund is frittered away among the
several counties of the state by piece
meal appropriations, and the public
derives but very little benefit there
from. In my Judgment this fund
should be used for the construction
of roads In the sparsely settled dis
tricts. A constitutional amendment
adopted in 1898 which provides for a
tax of not to exceed one-twentieth of
one mill was bungling piece Of legis-
latfon, and the legislature has failed
to act under 1t.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-11-02

In order to obviate this disparity
of Judgment, and make the grading
of coarse grain as close and as uni
form as the grading of wheat, the
method was recently inaugurated Of
inspecting all coarse grain by sam
pie in the Office, just as flax has al
ways been inspected. The samples
are gathered 10 the usual way, as
soon as it is light enough in the
morning, and hauled to the inspec-
ton rooms by horses. Under this
arrangement one man grades all the
flax, another the oats and another
the rye, corn and barley, Aside
from the uniformity which this
method secures there is great adj
vantage in doing the work in a
room arranged especially for it
where there is a strong light and
where the inspectors hands are
not so benumbed by cold as to des-
troy the sense of feeling. No mat
ter how hard it storms or how hard
the wind blows, the inspector is
not hampered. Under such condi-
tions every sample is inspected
more closely than was possible I'M

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

The unusually high price of wheat
is causing it to move very rapidly.
The present daily receipts at Min
neapolis andsDuluth have never be-
fore been equalled at this season of
the year. To be more explicit, there
have been 4, 1872 more cars received
in Minneapolis during the first if
teen days of October than during
the same period last year. The
number of cars of all kinds of grain
arriving daily at Minneapolis aver
ages a little below thousand,
while the Monday receipts, which
practically include two days arri-
walls, are close to the two-thousand
mark. The quality of the coarse
grain that is coming to market is
about the best ever known. Flax
receipts are from go to 100 cars per
day, and about so per cent. of it is
graded No. | Northwestern, and
the remaining 40 per cent. No. 1.
There is seldom a car below the
latter grade. Oats are bright and
heavy, and rye is much better in
quality than usual.
