St. Paul, Feb. 23.-Two hundred
and fifty dollars is large price to
pay for one blue jay, but that was
the standing offer made by Mrs. HUI
bert Prettyman, of Wheatley, for the
right bird of this particular kind.
Mrs. Prettyman lost the diamond
out of her ring one evening and did
not discover the loss till the following
day. Early in the morning Of that
day one of her neighbors, looking
from her window, noticed brilliant
point glittering like fire. in the rays
of the sun, and while she was won

brightly "a blue-jay came hopping

sLitth Harry Tpaihal; th8 4 Gght
year-oM son of n M. Trainor, lived
seven miles from Wheatley, but had
read of the incident in the county pa
per, and although he had no gun, he
knew a boy who wnew how to make
"Figure 4" traps, and constructed
three, which he set about in different
places, bated with corn, in the hope
that an Grant blue jay might wander
into one of them and prove to be the
right bird.
For three days he had no success
whatever, but one morning he found
one of the birds in his smallest trap,
and when it was killed and examined
the diamond was found in its giz-
card.
He came to town at once with his
father, claimed and received the
promised reward and put the wonder
full sum of money in the bank to grow
greater at compound interest and
make rich man of~him some day.

and which they have built themselves.
The machine is a runabout type, and

the most powerful Of small engines
on the market, and as soon as the
transmission chain arrives the whole
car will be completed and ready for
its trial trip.
This car has been built at a cost
lof about $500, the parts having been
purchased from various manufac-
lures Of automobile parts, and sim

facturer complete and ready to run
would cost about twice that sum.

TARIFF REFORM BROUGHT
HOME, ..,.44s.

BY large majority the German
Reichstag yesterday passed the final
reading of the bill providing for the
extension of Germany's reciprocal
tariff rates to the United States, I'M
til June. 1907. The tariff standpat-
tiers i'll this country profess to see
victory for their cause in this con-
cession, and claim that one of the
chief arguments for disturbing the
present tariff has been removed. The
standpatters, however, are sadly de-
ceived if they believe that this res
pite of one year will in any way add
to the strength Of their cause. On the
contrary it will afford the revision
lists time to create more public senti-
ment in favor of their proposed max
imum and minimum tariff. Inciden-
tally President Roosevelt having Sc
cured decent railway rate law for
the country, will be able to devote a
great deal of his time to the further
ance of a more modern tariff than the
one now in use.
The United States needs a maxi.
mum and minimum tariff, fac,
which is very clearly shown by tn.
experience of Gaar, Scott and Com
pany, of this city, and hundreds o.
other industries scattered Throughout
the country An article in the Pal
ladium last Monday stated that Gaar
Scott and Comapny intend to bull,
branch plant for the manufacture
of threshing outfits in Canada. The,
are being forced to do this on ac
count of Canada's high tariff rate
which have been raised to their pres
ent high mark in order to protec
Canadian manufacturers from tn
competition of this country. A reel
procity treaty has been proposed sew
eral times between the United State
and Canada, but it has always bee
defeated by the standpatters of thi
country. If there were a reciprocit
treaty in effect at the present time,
