Fifth Juror Selected.

w. F.. Barnard of Mankato said that
he takes the Review and another paper.
He had not followed the case closely
enough to form an opinion. He knew
of no reason why he could not try the
case impartially. The defense with
drew its challenge for actual bias. The
state challenged for implied bias. Mr..
Barnard said that he would certainly
vote for conviction if the evidence
warranted it, regardless of the penal
ty, if it was his sworn duty. The
challenge was withdrawn, and Mr.. Bar
nard was sworn as the fifth Juror in the
case. Mr.. Barnard is middle aged
man and drives the dray for the Cream
cry Packing Manufacturing company.
He resides on State street.
Guy NJ. Gordon of Eagle Lake was
called, and the defense challenged for
actual bias. He read of the case in
the Minneapolis Journal or Tribune. He
formed an opinion at the time of the
New Ulm trial and he still has it. He
would hold the opinion whether he
heard evidence or not. The challenge
was admitted.

City of Mexico warns this coun-
try against agricultural investment
schemes in which shares are sold. He
says that the justly earned reputation
of the country of Mexico as a mineral
and agricultural producer has been
laid hold of as an asset by swindlers.
Consul Parsons admits great agricul-
tural possibilities of part of Mexico
but reminds us that common sense,
common honesty, knowledge and ex
perience are necessary to make a sue
cess of an agricultural enterprise there
as elsewhere. These qualities SO far
as they concern those enterprises
which are backed by sales of stock to
Americans he finds to be very rare,
more so, he remarks, than Is common
ly supposed.

IMPROVEMENT IN COMMERCIAL
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY
CONSIDERED BY ROOT,
It Is Necessary to Make a New Trade
Treaty to Take Place .of One
Now in Vogue.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
Secretary Root is busily engaged in
trying to formulate some sort of a
program to improve our commercial
relations with Germany. 1t is neces-
sary to make a new trade treaty, as
the present one will expire in about
three months. Negotiations are un-
der way for such a treaty, but it
is doubtful if they can be completed
by that time. Therefore temporary
agreement will be probably necessary
to remain in force until new treaty
can be approved. Germany insists
upon some important notifications of
our tariff schedules, claiming that at
present we have much the advant-
age in the trade between the two
countries. A change it is claimed,
would be mutually advantageous and
largely increase the commerce be-
tween the United States and Germany.
However every alteration will be bit
terly fought by the stand patters and
the prospects of an agreement at an
early date are not bright.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
A QUESTION FOR FORAKER.

Senator Forakers attempt to elm
mate the interstate commerce commits
sion as the agency by which new rates
are to be put into effect when old
ones are found to be unreasonable, and
turn that business all over to the
courts, has brought out a letter from
President R. H. West Of the Receivers
and Shippers association of Cincinnati
in which Mr.. West makes it necessary
for Senator Foraker to show why it is
better to have a rate changed by a
court than by commission.
The presidents proposition that the
commission shall name the rate and
that it shall go into effect immediate
ly or within a reasonable time, when
the old one has been found to be un-
reasonable, has been opposed by the
railroad men and their advocates with
the proposition that this change OF
rates ought not to be made hastily or
without a chance for a judicial inquiry.
They would have the matter appealed
to the federal court to see whether the
orders of the commission shall be
sustained or dissolved.
Their objection to the change of
rates by the commission is that it
would result in an unheaval in rail-
road traffic and in a radical and dang
erous readjustment of conditions. Mr..
West wants to know why, if such
changes would result so seriously, the
consequences would not be quite as
bad if the change were made by the
court as if it were made by the COM
mission. Railroad representatives
profess to be willing to allow the
courts to pass upon and change rates.
What difference will result to BUSH
ness if the rates were changed by the
commission? is Mr., Vests question.
and which it is Mr. Francis turn to
answer, and while he is doing SO we
would like to suggest to him that in
all probability a commission can be
and will be made up by President
Roosevelt Of men much better qualifi-
ed to pass upon railroad rates than
judges of the federal courts.

FORTUNE IN RIVER.
Valuable Water Logged Pine Waits to
Be Raised by Some Person.

IRONWOOD, Mich, Dec. al
amount of timber on the bed of the
Menominee river, which forms a por-
ton of the boundary line between the
states of Michigan and Wisconsin and
down which sawlogs have been driven
from the pineries to the mills for the
past sixty years, in the aggregate
running well into the billions of feet,
no project for. the. recovery of this
sunken wealth is pending.
1t has been reported that it was the
intention of the Menominee River
Boom company, which has in charge
the driving of the stream, to under
take the task Of raising the water
logged timber, but officials say no such
plans are now in contemplation, and
the logs will probably remain undis-
turbed until some enterprising man
or firm comes along and makes a for
tune out Of the scheme.
Estimates of the amount of timber
on the river bed range up to 20,000,-
900 feet, and even more, though there
is no way in which the exact figure
can even be Appropriated. The great
bulk of the logs are of white pine,
now becoming exceedingly scarce and
valuable. They have been admirably
preserved by the water. Various plans
for handling this timber have been
suggested, one Of which is to cut the
logs in a movable mill as they are
raised, while another proposes to
raise the timber and, after drying it,
to float the logs to the mills at the
mouth of the river.

WHICH SIDE IT WOULD TAKE
IN THE DEBATE.
Frank Spasle Is Chosen Captain Of
College Football Team for the
Coming Year.

The Whitman college debate council
yesterday afternoon decided that they
would uphold the affirmative of the
railroad rate regulation question sub
mitted to them by Pacific university
for discussion in the big intercolle-
giate debate to be held at Forest
Grove on February "a. The question
is worded: Resolved, That the In
terstate Commerce Commission Should
be Given Power to Regulate Railroad
Rates in DISPUTE Cases, Such Rates
to be in Force Until Reversed by the
Higher Courts"
The council also decided to refuse
the proposition of Idaho to submit the
question this year contrary to usual
custom but agreed to Idaho's propo-
sal to cut down speeches from Is to Is
minutes.
The Phrenakosmian society held it's
tryout last night to select a team to
meet the Athenaeum in the joint de-
bate on the railway question which will
be a try-Out for the Pacific team.
Eells, Wolfe and Gilbreath were Sc
lected. All of them are inter- collegiate
debaters and expect to make things
very interesting for the Athenaeum in
the inter-society debate.
SpagIe Is Captain.
Frank j. Spagle, Whitman's bril-
liant right end, was elected football
captain by the Whitman college team
last night. Spagle played end on Pa
cific university team in 1902 and 1904
and was star end on the Oregon agri-
cultural team in 1903 when he made
the All-Northwest team. He is one
of the famous "P U. Bunch as they
are called up at the college, of Dimick,
Philbrook and Spagle, who have
done SO much to make Whitman
have the record that she has had this
year. Spagle is we'll liked by the boys
as is SHOWN by his getting the cap
taincy although only an Academy
student and having been at the col
lege only part of one year. He has
made wonderful record this year
and it was thought by all football en-
thusiasts about the campus that he
would surely make the ll-Northwest
this year. His only opponent for the
has been head man for the last two
years. Perringer is proud of having
been captain of the 1905 team which
has redeemed Whitman's record.
