The questions from the south were

Canada if the shipment of logs or
pulpwood from that country is inter

Detroit, Mich

Congressman FOrdney Gives his
Views on the Tariff BilI-Engages
i'm Lively DiscussiOn-Stirs the
Wrath of Cong. Byrd-WarmIy
Congratulated by Members and
Receives Scores of kilograms En-
dOrsing his Position.
If anyone ever had any doubt as
to the ability of Congressman Ford
ney to take good care of himself in a
running debate the proceedings in
the house on Friday afternoon last
must have effectually removed the
same. For the three and half
hours Mr.. Fordney occupied in pre-
senting his views and answering a
perfect volley of questions he had
the undivided attention of all pres
ent. and the session was the most in
teresting of any since the tariff bill
was reported. After general out
lining of the bill and congratulatins
the country upon the fact that a
man with the experience of Chairman
Payne had had the work of revision
in charge, Mr.. Fordney took up the
lumber schedule and within a very
few minutes was interrupted with
questions from various members,
many of which he insisted were not
pertinent and were only general
statements made on hearsay. Con-
gresham Byrd of Mississippi, finally
intimated that the lumber business
Of the country was controlled by a
trust and that the mill in which Mr..
Fordney was interested in in his
state would not sell lumber directly
to consumer as the retail dealers
would boycott the mills. Mr.. Ford
ney replied "there was nothing OF
the kind, it is absolutely buncombe, :"
To which Mr.. Byrd replied: Let me
say here that l know absolutely Of
what I speak" The reply of Mr..
Fordney, 81 say that you don't know
blamed thing about it," caused
the Mississippian to lose his temper
and at once spring to his feet, made
rush for Fordney, amid cries from
Mr.. Garrett, of Tennessee, demand
ing that Fordney be called to order
on account of his language. In the
meantime down in front of the

Changes i'm the Payne Tariff Bill Af-
feCting Michigan Interests.

To the Editor of the Owosso Times:
In comparing the schedules of the
Payne tariff bill, complete copy of
ley law now in force, / find that out
side of the proposed changes on car
pet woods and adulterants-such as
shoddy, rags, wastes, etc.-and the
placing of hides on the free list, but
few changes are made on the pro-
ducts of the farm, orchard or gar
den. This is also true regarding live
animals, meats and dairy products.
On grains few changes are pro.
posed. Wheat, corn, oats, rye and
buckwheat are unchanged, while the
duty on barley is reduced from 80 to
15c per bushel, and on barley malt
from 45c to soc per bushel. This,
will undoubtedly tend to increase
the importation of Canadian barley
and barley malt AS the campaign
for local option and prohibitory IL
quor laws has materially affected the
demand for these products from
brewers, look for considerable de-
cline in prices and would not advise
increased sowings this spring. Beans
are left unchanged at 45c per bushel
and this is one of Michigan's most
important crops. 1t was proposed
to cut the duty one-half, but Mr..
Fordney made strong protest
against the reduction and won out.
Vegetables show few and unim-
portant changes. Cabbage is reduc-
ed from &c per head to &c. Potatoes
onions, beets, radishes, peas and car
rots are not affected.
Other field crops, hay. straw, hops,
etc., are left as in the Dingley brl.,
which is satisfactory to farmers gen.
orally. The same is true OF live
animals and meats, including live
and dressed poultry.
On dairy products-butter, chese,
fresh milk, and condensed and pre-
served milk, in which the dairymen
of the state are largely interested,
the same duties are provided for as

eight property owners on Oliver street
asking that the street be paved from the

should not be done unless Washington
