Mr.. METC4LFS MISSION.
Secretary VIII Investigate School
Trouble an San Francisco.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Oct 2s-Secretarv Metcalf of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor will
start ror San Francisco tomorrow as the special
commissioner OF the President TO investigate the
discrimination against Japanese children by the
school authorities there. Secretary Metcalf will
confer with the Governor of California, the Mayor
ana scnool officials of San Francisco and with all
other persons whose information may be of
value IN arriving at the facts in the case, and
VIII bring back to the President at the earliest
possible moment as accurate and comprehensive
report OF the whole matter as he is able to
prepare
Ihe President regards Secretary Metcalf as
the best man at hand for the delicate task as
signed He is a Californian by birth and life
ions experience and knows not only the people
he has to deal with. but is familiar with all the
political considerations that enter into the equa-
ton TO be worked out. That local politics of
small variety is back of all the trouble the
administration is convinced. but that does not
obscure the fact that the trouble is there and in
plenty. 1t is likely too, that Ambassador Aoki
who first brought the matter to The attention of
Secretary Root yesterday, knows the springs
which are moving the automata, and is as conf
dent as the American authorities that the
trouble will be ended with the closing Of the
polls on Election Day, but in his diplomatic
pacity he cannot we'll overlook such a fragrant
insult TO his people the reports charge to
San Francisco The Ambassador perhaps re-
minded Secretary Root, in the course of their
long conversation yesterday, that when San
Francisco was a petitioner for the sympathy and
aid Of the world Japan sent $4,000 to the Red
Cross for her relief and 1t was spent regardless
OF the nationality of sufferers.
Politics Of the cheapest kind is responsible
for the whole distressing situation said high
government official to-day. las soon as the
votes are all in out there, the schools will be
opened TO the Japanese children and the instl-
gators Of the race feeling will attempt to smooth
1t all over. If the city of San Francisco were
standing alone do you suppose for a moment
that such an incident would have arisen? Not
much. The people out there who are making
the trouble know that Japan could and would
eat them raw. 1t is solely because the insti-
gators expect 10 get behind the shield of the
state, and the state behind the protection of
the government, that they are acting in such a
manner"
The japanese Ambassa has already in
formed his government that the Presidents per-
sonal agent and Cabinet officer will start at
once on a journey of three thousand miles in
the interests Of international justice and good
will

Model Democratic Community.

With evidences of great satisfaction,
The New Ulm News, a democratic news
paper of the old school, publishes the
following:
"The following confirms our faith in
the righteousness of democratic princi-
pies, if not altogether in the democratic
party. Mentioning the first train of
cars to pass through Needmore, a small
town in Brown county, Ind, a dis
patch of the 23rd says: The people are
religions and agricultural, voting the
democratic ticket always, having no use
for jails, saloons, telegraphs, telephones
or railways. One man years ago was
arrested for sheep stealing, but the
sheriff let him 90 home every night. He
was finally sent to the penitentiary.
When he got out the warden gave him
a new suit of clothes and $lS, which he
brought home and paid for the sheep"
Were one to investigate this COM
munity further no doubt the fact would
be brought to light that the people there
have not got over voting for Andrew
Jackson, nor do they know that they
are living in the twentieth century.

KICKS ON THE SEEDS.
Wells Forum Editor Wants a Different
Variety Sent This Section.

The Wells Forum editor is out with
protest against the quality of seeds that
are furnished the farmers and others in
this section He says: 'The past week
a whole sack of garden seeds or the com
mon sorts was received at the postof
flee for the constituents of Congress
man McCleary. This sort of thing has
been going on for many years and by all
congressman so that it is not personal
criticism on the representative from this
The original intention of the govern
ment was to send out new varieties but
for many years it has been customary
to buy as many and as cheap seeds as
the commissioner could get and to use
them in the congressional districts to
bolster up mans popularity. Such
popularity was cheapened with the seeds.
Some time ago the editor of The Forum
suggested to Congressman McCleary
that we 90 back to first principles and
for him to ask the seed department for
certain seeds which are not known in
this section and which are valuable for
chicken feed for dairy regions and for
increasing the fertility of the soils and
killing quackgrass. The answer came
back that he was glad to recommend the
selection to the agricultural depart
ment and he hoped that the seeds he
sent for the farmers of this vicinity
to try as suggested. Up to date the va
rieties have not been received. If these
new varieties could be introduced it
would be a good thing. There was not
a single variety asked for which the
writer did not know and appreciate the
value of. at the same time he did not
feel like running an experimental sta.
ton of his own. The seed question is a
farce as it is run now. 1t has done
much good in the past. Not less than
hundreds of things have been brought to
this country by the government and dis
tributed, the navel orange for instance,
is a notable example without which Cal
ifornia orange growing would be insig-
nifcant. 1t is just as much the duty of
the government to introduce to the no
tice of the farmer of Wells a seed
which will prove beneficial in their in
dustries as it was to bring the orange.
This question of hollow crown parsnip
and olive shaped radish is getting old

Lumber From Canada.

According to the figures in a bulle-
tin just issued by the department of
commerce and labor, the United States
takes but twenty five per cent of her
timber consumption from Canada. The
states consume yearly about 100000
cords of pulp wood, of which the Adir
ondack forests alone produce $4,000
cords. From Canada the pulp wood ex-
ports from the year ending July l,
1904, were 479,238 cords, valued at ST.
788,O49, and for the year ending July /,
1905, they figured at $2,6OO,Sl4, Ameri-
ca taking all. To this should be added
another product of the forest, the
ground wood pulp, which now supports
thirty eight mills, turning out S54 tons
daily, of which, besides the home con-
sumption, the export to the amount of
1864, l22. The value of the Canadian
forests, then, lies not alone in the wood,
for important numbering and allied in
dustries are largely dependent on the
existence of these forests, and therefore,
properly, credit to the forest returns.
Furthermore, the president of the Pulp
wood Association of Quebec Province
disapproves of the imposition of an ex-
port duty. Canada" he says, sis not
in position to lose an export trade
of $3,OOO,OOO per annum, and can not
afford for some time yet to stop eX-
porting the raw material" Were the
tariff on lumber to be removed the lum-
Der trade between the United States
and Canada would be increased and the
home builder benefited immensely. The
only directors to the removal are the
lumber kings who desire to further plum
der the people.

Bothers the Standpats.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press fires a
hot shot at the standpat brigade when it
discusses the situation which confronts
San Francisco. ''The proposition now

reconstruction of San Francisco, is one
which fills the standpatter with alarm,

men are all so busy-so overwhelmed

IMPROVED SERVICE.
Milwaukee, Road Puts on Two New
Mankato Wells Trains.
From Saturdays Daily.

HrOm SATURDAY DAILY.
An Important change in the time
table of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad will 90 into effect to-
morrow morning. Two extra freight
trains will be put on between Mankato
and Wells. The north bound train will
be known as No. III, and will leave
Wells at $40 a. IN. and arrive at Man
katO at 1925 a. m. The south bound
train will leave Mankato at 5 p. m.
and will reach Wells at 7:45 p. m. Both
of these trains will carry passengers.
All of the other trains will run on the
same time as now, except No. A, which
now leaves Mankato south bound at
9:25 p. m. Beginning tomorrow it will
leave five minutes earlier and will reach
Wells at 1850 p. m. instead of at ll:25
p. N. as now. The saving in time will
be brought about by cutting out the
freight business of this train. 1t will
become straight passenger train.

ISSUES A STATEMENT.
Trustee Patterson Gives Out Figures
to WidelI Creditors.

From Saturdays Daily.
Trustee Patterson has sent out the
following statement to the former EN-
ployees of the Widell company:
Mankato, Mimi, April %, I906.-Dear
Sir At the request of the Widell com
pany | am pleased to report to you the
condition OF the Gustaf Widell estate so
that YOU may see a considerable amount
of money can be realized to meet labor
claims, etc. The principal part of the
assets consists of claims against the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway company,
which, no doubt, will be paid in full or
nearly so. The assets do not include any
amounts due from the Chicago & North
western Railway company on any stone
mortgaged to the National Citizens
Bank.
Since all laboring men who were en-
ployed by Mr. Widell have preferred
claims against the estate it would seem
that there would be very nearly enough
money realized to pay the same as the
total claims for labor amount to no
more than $4,000, provided there are no
offsets which have not come to light.
| have exerted every possible effort
to collect these outstanding claims as
far as possible, but up to the present
time | have been unable to get money
due from the Railway company until
they can make complete settlement
with all concerned as they wish to be
protected against any future trouble.
Just as soon as these claims are paid |
shall petition Referee Flittie for an or
der to pay all labor claims as far as
possible The following is list of the
assets of the Gustaf Widell estate, VIZ,
Cash on hand, $4,000; estimates re-
ported on stone furnished for the Iowa
division of Chicago & Northwestern Ry.
company, 1891 40; Due for miscellane-
Gus orders from Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha Railway company,
about $7S.51; miscellaneous orders,
Northwestern Railway company, about,
$544.5l; miscellaneous other collections,
about 100000; total $5,5945l
From this amount should be deduct
ed 1898 due the railway company for
royalty on stone taken from the Chicago
& Northwestern quarry, leaving net
amount of $4.65S.5l.
| trust that this explanation may be
of service to you in determining the APP
prOximate condition of affairs and | as
sure you that l shall do all in my pow
er to collect in all moneys due the es-
tate to enable all labor claims to be
paid as far as possible.
