LATEST CUSTOMS RULINGS.
Government and Biscuit Trust Defeat.
ed BY Foreign Wafer Nakera


In decision by Judges Wallace, La
combe and Coke, the United States cir
cult court of appeals has overruled the
contention of the government for the
imposition of so per cent duty on i'm
portations of foreign-made fancy sugar
waters. 1t was maintained by the
treasury department that goods of tn.
character are properly dutiable under
the provision in the Dingley tariff for
Confectionery"
1t was further urged by the govern
ment that if the waters are not confec-
tons, they should be held for duty at
so per cent as similar" to confection-
cry under the similitude section of the
law. The government was aided in its
prosecution of the case by the National
Biscuit company, which seeks to drive
out the foreign competition in this
country.
The importers, Thomas Meadows &
Co., American agents for Huntley 4
Palmers of Reading, England, denied
the classifications for the crackers
sought by the government, and insisted
that as the merchandise IVES not pro-
vided for by name in the law, it should
be assessed at only 20 per cent as an
"unenumerated manufactured article. {"
This claim the appellate tribunal now
sustains. Inasmuch as the government
has been defeated before the board of
appraisers and the circuit court, it is
considered doubtful whether the SUI
preme court will consent to review the

Mark Twain. Financler.

Mark Twain is the best paid writer
in the United States or in the world.
No other man in the history of letters,
either here or in Europe, ever has re-
ceived 80 cents a word on a contract
that practically is unlimited as to time
and absolutely without conditions as
to subjects, treatment or anything else.
1t Is unthinkable that Mark Twain
should write story or article and
have it rejected. Even in that incon-
ceivable event, however, he would be
paid 80 cents word just the same.
Put into language easily understood,
80 cents word is equivalent to $500
column in an average sized news
paper.
After he returned from his trip
around the world, journey he under
took when he failed in business as a
publisher, Clements barely could earn
$4,000 a year. had talk with him
which resulted in contract to pay
80 cents word for everything he
wrote, whether it was printed or
thrown away. No other author ever
received more than 10 cents a word
on long contract. A. Conan Doyle,
the Scotch writer and physician, was
81 a word within a year or two for a
new series of detective stories, but the
engagement was short and a number
of publishers were concerned. Mark
Twain earns $4,000 year. Indeed.
I think his income in 1907 will reach
$4,000.

Prominent Edgeley Citizen
Does Not Believe LaMoure
Will Have Change.

w. D. Oliver, the we'll known bank
er of Edgeley, LaAloure county, was in
Grand Forks this week looking after
a few land deals. Mr.. Oliver is an
enthusiastic LaMoure county boomer,
and says that settlers are coming into
that part of the state at rapid rate.
Mr.. divers home town has for some
time past been making an effort to
secure for itself the title of county
seat. At present. LaMoure is the
county seat. Some time ago, follow
ing the destruction by fire of the La
Moure county court house, the Edgeley
people filed a petition with the board
or county commissioners, asking them
to call special election to vote on
the proposition of making Edgeley the
county seat. The matter was referred
to the states attorney, who decided
that LaAIoure was already the county

Transport 100000 Bushels
Navigation Opened.

The East Grand Forks Navigation
company, which owns the fleet of
barges on the Red river and the two
steamers, Grand Forks and the Franz
will start spring hauling on Monday,
April 20, and the barges and boats are
being fitted up for the year. An i'm
mense lumber and grain trade is car
ried on between down river points and
Grand Forks, and a large crew of men
are employed from the opening until
the closing of navigation. This year
the Grand Forks will be the only one
of the steamers used in the spring
hauling, as it is thought this one
freighter will be able to care for the
spring transportation.
In discussing the outlook on the
river, A. o. Lystad. one of the prime
movers in the company, stated that
there would be about 100000 bushels
of grain brought to this city for ship
ment this spring. This is considerable
less than was brought up last spring,
and the figures may be exceeded.
However that amount of grain is now
in the elevators ready for shipment,
or is already contracted for. Last
year approximately 100000 bushels of
grain was brought down and of which
about 100000 bushels We're hauled in
the spring.
Eclipse Previous Years.
Besides the quantity of grain which
we will transport" said Mr. Lystad,
there will be a big business in lum-
her and other merchandise, and we
hope to eclipse all previous records.
Most of the grain which will be car
ried from down river points,

opens somewhat later than year ago

START ACTION TO.
CLEAR TITLE TO
PROPERTY
James Jarvis is Plaintiff in
Case Against Polk County
Started Recently.

An action has been started against
Polk county by James Jarvis, to clear
title to property located on Mime
sofa Point. The property in question
lies at the approach of the old Red
Lake river bridge, condemned some
years since.
Last year James Jarvis had man
commence excavating on the old high
way. John Dancer. who was doing
the work was arrested. and his trial
in justice court resulted in conviction,
from which an appeal was taken.
James Jarvis it seems gave the pro-
perry to the county a number of years
ago. He claims that the property was
to be used for street purposes. How
ever. since the closing OF the bridge,
it has not been used. and he claims
that title to it should revert to him.
The case comes up at the next term
of the district court.

arriving in the county have resulted
in good business and every one seems

DR.. \. B. EMERSON
ON THE RACE PROBLEM

DR.. Emerson said in part, his sub
ject being ''Hawaii's Race Problem:'
The population of Hawaii is a very
polyglot community, comprising all
skin-colors and races gathered from
all parts of the world. Hawaii is the
first point of contact of the United
States and the Orient, the gate
through which a great throng have
come in to take part in the labors and
to share in the benefits of our civiliza-
ton. 1t is this movement and the is
sues growing out of it that furnish me
with my theme this evening, but more
especially, it is the incoming of the
Chinese and the Japanese, whose
touch and intermingling with our race
today constitutes the race-problem not
only of Hawaii, but, as 1 shall point
out, of the American Republic and
largely of the whole world.
The fact that l single out these two
races as the agents in precipitating the
ace-problem, and leave out of the con-
sideration the melange of other ma
tionalities that have drifted to Hawaii,
is to be taken not as a slur, but rather
as compliment TO the Chinese and
the Japanese. 1t is the high intelli-
gence, the individuality, the tenacious
virtues and sterling qualities of the
Chinaman-and to a large extent of
the Japanese-even more than his
vices. that make him refractory to our
civiliza ton
The coming together of two races
whether of the Occidental and the ORR
entail. or any other-involves many re-
action and readjustments, ofttimes
with the production of much heat, as
when the cosmic elements were first
thrown together in Natures laboratory.
I will first remark that this meet
ing and mingling of races is Inevitable.
It was invited, and in a sense. com
PEELED, by the more advanced races Of
the world. The work done by the
Spanish and Portuguese, the Dutch,
the English and the American, from
the sixteenth century down, in unseal-
ing and opening up China and Japan
to the influences of the world was in
the line of evolution, entirely natural.
and not TO be repented of. The first
step led to the second. and so on.
The gates have been opened and
they cannot again be shut But that
does not mean that the stream shall
be allowed to flow at full food, and
absolutely without control. Man, hav-
ing but his hand to the levers and

of humanity. must not let go his hold.
but like a skilful engineer must de-
vote himself to the task of regulating
the vast forces he has unlocked, or
take the consequences.
The doctrine of equal human rights

however beautiful in theory, is a
principle that soon runs into danger
It demands careful limitation. We do
not allow free scope to this principle
in trade and commerce. Rightly or
wrongly, we protect our infant indus
tries-we even extend this protection
through what seems a very prolonged
