THE deer season opens on Tues
day next, aud several hundred
sportsmen will roam the woods in
the country to the north of the

this season despite the forest fires
which have driven them from their
accustomed haunts in certain local
tiles, and it is poor sport who
cannot bag his limit.
If the line of reasoning of that
steel corporation attorney is correct,
it is evident the citizens of Proctor
as we'll as many other places in St.
Louis county are desirous of a ton

Had the steel corporation attorney
given his undivided attention to
Proctor he might have had one spot
on the map at which he could have
pointed with more pardona ble pride
perhaps.

that the two crowds of sports may

provides for any method of distri.

the range municipalities of their

asked upon raw materials used in
manufacture.
Industrial men Of Mexico claim that
during the past five years industries
have grown to such an enormous ex-
tent, including lines not thought of
previously, that the protective ideas
in the tariff schedule do not longer
fit the conditions which they were
meant to benefit. 1t is claimed that
in some cases the ends Of the protec-
tive features in the national import
tariff are defeated by placing great
er burden upon the importer of raw
materials than upon manufactured ar
ticles, because the laws were made
when there was no Immediate pros
poets for such manufactures while
the industries producing the raw ma
terial for export needed protection.
