Cotton is bough, az the present time

basis Of per cent deduction for tare
or practically 80 pounds 10 the bale.
This would not be unfair TO the
growers IL they put 80 pounds of
aaggsng and ties on each 500 pounds
but as a matter of fact. farmers do
not average more than 20 pounds Of
iars 10 the bale, and the arbitrary re-

a loss OF the value OF what baggtag

loss of from 10 10 pounds Of lint

was burned to the waters edge
at Ashland Sunday morning.
The tug is owned by Tom Dow
ling of Duluth. The little craft
has been having a good deal OF
trouble of late in the way OF
accidents. Last fall as it was
coming into port after the Tug
Jim Puller it encountered some
heavy ice and had a hole stove in
her side which caused it to sink
just as it was going in near the
Sprague mill slip. Itwas raised
this spling and shortly after

He was advertised to give Re-

course it was supposed to be Il
Jenkins speech. His remarks
were not we'll received and he
was asked great many quest
ions, which were so puzzling to
him that he really did not know
where he was at during the en-
tire evening. His statements
were so contradictory and his
answers so evasive that most of
the audience left early in the
evening and those who stayed
until all was over did so mainly
out of curiosity. Whether he
talked about the tariff, or the
trusts, about Jenkins or Lenroot
he was foored by the sharp
questions from mem oers of the
audience, and it was difficult at
times to tell who had the floor
Mr.. Castle or his questioners.

in argument on all great quest
ions and his hearers took advan-
tage of his weakness. Mr.. Jei4
