TaItinger Is Not Lost.

The report that Nick Taitinger.
who removed from near Athena to
Alberta year ago, had been lost and
perished in a blizzard in Canada,
proves to be unfounded. Frank Mar
tin, who has just returned from AL
berta has heard from Mr.. Taitinger
since the blizzard was reported to
have swept over the country, and
Henry Wright, of Athena, brother
in-law of Mr.. Taitinger, has also
heard from him recently G. w.
Rigby received a letter from Taitin-
ger written on December 29. in which
he said the weather was mild, al
though 1t has heen as low as 20 below
zero, but had moderated and was on
that date so above zero.

FLOUR IN BRAZIL.
American Market in That Country is
Destroyed.

American Consul George A. Cham
berlain of Rio Janeiro. Brazil, sends
the following report on the American
flour market in Brazil
The former large sales of American
flour to Brazil We're long since de-
stroyed. Many people think that Ar
gentine flour was the only agent in
the expulsion of American flour
from Brazil, but the truth is that the
English owners of flour mills here
are the reapers of the greatest prof
its resulting from this expulsion.
Not many years ago a fine fleet of
American clippers was engaged in
carrying big cargoes of flour from
Baltimore to this port. Now it comes
here with an occasional scrap cargo
of coal, lumber, or rosin. carried at
ruinous rates. 1t is true that the rise
of the Argentine wheat industry made
the downfall of the fleet certain, but
it is also true that while American
flour has already become rare in the
Brazilian market, the English capi-
talist is already reaping the rich re-
turns that the new situation offers.
What we are losing, or rather have
lost, in the trade is being fully picked
up by the English factories establish
ed on the spot, whose owners look
with equanimity on 20 per cent prof
its on money invested.
Considering the advantages con-
ceded to these mills, it is rather re-
markable that dividends have not at
tanned far higher figure. They
have an advantage over Rio Plata
flour of 35 cents. clear on every bar
rel in the mere items of duties; and
over American flour this 35 cents
plus so cents. the difference in freight
rates between Baltimore and Rio and
Buenos Ayres and Rio. That is, since
they buy all their wheat in Argentina,
they have in these two items alone a
clear advantage over American flour
of S5 cents on the barrel During
the first six months of 1904 there was
a total decrease in imports of flour
to Brazil of 95,157 barrels, of which
decrease the share of the United
States was $500 barrels. am
aware of the conjunction of various
causes foreign to Brazilian conditions
during the six months mentioned
which may be held responsible for a
crease, but the Brazilian flour trade
was lost to us long before these causes
obtained.-George A. Chamberlain,
vice and deputy consul general

SOUTHERN THREATS FOR HIM
South Would RetaIiate On Lessened
Representation With Ostracism.

LA PORTE, Ind, Jan. 3.-COngress-
man Edgar Dean Crumpacker of this
district, who will introduce a bill with
the converting of the new congress for
a reapportionment of the congression-
al representation Of the southern
states, is being deluged with threaten
ing letters written by prominent
soutnerners. The threat is openly
made in the communications to Con-
gresham Crumpacker, that if the pro-
posed bill is enacted into law the peo-
pie of the south will retaliate by os-
TRACKING and prosecuting the north
erners residing in their midst. Mr.
Crumpacker says he will not be de-
tered from making a fight for a re-
apportionment, and he believes, from
assurances which ne has received OF
support for his measure, that it will
be made a law.
