The next speaker was Harry Cooper.
He declared that reciprocity was I'M
necessary, impractical and Injurious.
He endeavored to show that 1t was
unnecessary because it Disseminated.
E. M. Smell Of the A. D. T. argued
that the present policy was dangerous,
that the United States needed reci-
procity. He said that Canada has
many products which ought to be
shipped to the United States unres-
tricted. Canada also buys from this
country many products which ought
to go to them in the same manner
Without reciprocity, he claimed, the
United States lost much trade. He also
said that Canadian product coming
into the United States would do much
to put the trusts out Of business.
Stewart Cameron o fthe Ad Altiora
said that reciprocity was impractic-
able, showing that 1t had been success
ful In the past and that there was no
hope of 1t proving successful in the
future. He referred to the we'll known
Wilson bill, and showed that it could
not obtain the desired results. Canada,
he claimed, did not produce anything
that the United did not produce. Out
OF commercial treaties relative to
reciprocity in the past, he said, fifteen
had been abandoned.
Arthur Netcher was the next speaker
and he represented the A. d. T.. He
declared that reciprocity would favor
agricultural interests in this country:
that 1t would mean the expectation of
American corn, cotton and tobacco in
to Canada, and that the farmers would
get better prices. He also said that
Canadian wheat could be shipped to
the United States unrestricted, as it
Will be sooner or later, claiming that
the wheat supplying districts of this
country would soon be unable to take
care of the demand. Lumber, he also
said, was an important matter, and
should be allowed to come in untaxed,
as the forests of this country were
about stripped. He also referred to
number of other raw products.
s. Johnson was the next speaker, he
representing the AID Altiora. He
claimed that reciprocity would be de-
trimental to agriculture, giving as his
reasons that land in Canada was
cheaper, and that wages were lower
than In this country, and that as a re-
suit, the American market would be
Hooded with Canadian wheat. He re-
fered to the experience of the wool
dealers under the Wilson bill. Barley,
he also said, became so low in price at
that time that it would not pay to
transport 1t to Minneapolis from the
northwest.
The rebuttal was then made. each
speaker being allowed seven minutes.
1t was here that the Ad Altiora showed
their strength, and where they won the
debate.
Each one of the speakers for the
victorious side showed self-confidence.

E|MO NO TRACE OF KELLY YET
Every Effort Made to Find Him But
as Yet the Missing Crookstonite
Has Not Been Found.

The mystery of the disappearance
Of Roy Kelly is more of a mystery at
the present time than when it was
first learned that he was missing. AL
though the entire Pinkerton force in
Milwaukee has been searching for
him, not trace of his whereabouts
has been discovered and it now looks
as though he must have met with
some accident or foul play. Boyu
Munroe, his brother-in-law, has re-
burned to Crookston from Milwaukee
after weeks search and stated that
no clue had been found. Mr.. Munroe
first went to the hotel where Roy had
been staying and it was found that no
one remembered him at the hotel ex-
cept the clerk who registered him. He
went to the theatre on Saturday night
on which he wrote his last letter home
and returned to the hotel. He was not
seen after that day by anyone. When
his room was opened his suit case
was found on the bed open and he
had evidently just changed his clothes.
His heavy overcoat was on hook in
the room and it looked as though he
had just stepped out to mail letter.
Not one thing further was discovered
and Mr.. Munroe was forced to return
without any definite knowledge of any
sort. Not only the entire Pinkerton
force of Milwaukee is searching for
him but the entire system throughout
the United States are on the lookout
and unless he has met with foul play
he will probably be located.

COUNCIL DISCUSSED
THE WATER
MATTER
And Also Took Up Several
Other Business PROPOSE
lions Last Night.

At the meeting of the city council
held Monday evening, several impor-
.tant matters were brought up for dis
cussion, among them being the water
supply. The matter of pumping
water for the use of the city electric
light plant and in fighting fires was
thoroughly talked over and at the
next meeting to be held Dec. II it is
expected that bids will be advertised
for for the laying of a pipe from the
electric light plant to the river and
for a dynamo to pump water.
The city is now securing its water
from the Northern Pacific railroad,
but has not very large supply. In
fact, should there be large fire the
city would be unable to do anything
towards extinguishing it. 1t is esti-
mated that pipe line as proposed
would cost about $500 and that this
would pay for itself very soon. The
water bought from the railroad costs
about $500 year.
The Robert Mitchell matter came up
before the council also. Mr.. Mitchell
has few things to say to the council
relative to the matter, and it was laid
over till the next meeting.
The matter of hiring light plant
expert was also laid over till the next
meeting. Figures are being secured
on the price an expert would want
and these will be submitted to the
council.
Vice President Craig presided at the
meeting, President Barlow being alb

cordingly discharged from custody.

JAMES R. GARFIELD
SCORES RAIL-
ROADS
Commissioner of Corporations
Reports on His Investiga-
ton of Rates.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE annual
report of Commissioner OF Corporations
James R. Garfield. just made public,
devotes special attention to the investi-
cations of the transportation of oil
and the operations of the Standard
Oil company.
During the Investigation of the oil
industry" says the report, 1T was
of the country where this system had
tenn of railway determinations ex-
listed in favor of the Standard OIL COM
pany, affecting very large proportion
of the country and resulting substan-
TALLY in giving to the Standard Oil
company an overwhelming advantage
in transportation in almost all sections
o fthe country where this system had
been in existence for a number of
years, and that largely by virtue of
1t the Standard had been able to res
trict or eliminate competition through
out many parts of the country, and
thereafter reap the benefits of mon
opoly. These railway determinations
took various forms, often very ingen-
ious in their nature, and so skilfully
concealed that their existence was
very rarely suspected even by the
active competitors of the Standard,
although such competitors knew that
in a general way they were doing bus
mess at disadvantage.
IA most striking and important re-
suit Immediately followed the investi-
cation of the bureau; the railroads
cancelled substantially all the secret
rates, illegal or improper discrimina-
tons, and in many cases the discrim-
nations in open rates. The shippers
of oil advise the bureau that for the
first time in many years they are now
rapidly obtaining equality of treatment
from the transportation companies.
Work on the other phases of the
oil industry and the investigations of
the tobacco, steel, sugar and coal in
dustries are we'll advanced. Special
reports thereon will be made in due
course:~ An inquiry into canal and
water transportation has been started"
Commissioner Garfield urges again
the necessity for the establishment of
federal inspection and supervision of
the greater industrial corporations en-
gagged in interstate and foreign COM
MERGE. He says it will not interfere
with the power and authority of the
States over the corporations created
under a state law, and is not an in
vasion of private rights, but merely
will "restore individual responsibility
and prevent the corporations from be-
ing the hiding place of the irrespon-
sible, dishonest, or corrupt manager"
