ESCAPE

While driving team belonging to
the Model Barn of this city across Dry
Canyon, on the road leading from
Pleasant View, Hugh Reese was nearly
drowned in the high water caused by
the sudden thaw and one of the horses
persisted. The other was freed from
the rig before it had gone under.
The team was hired from the barn
last Monday by Frank Brotherton, who
in turn let it to Hugh Reese. Reese
was coming to this city and had to
cross the canyon in order to get here.
Never thinking that the water was so
deep nor the current so strong, he had
no hesitation in driving into the tor
rent and no sooner had he done so,
than the buggy overturned throwing
HON out and tangling the horses in the
harness. Reese at once swan to safe
ty, but the team and buggy were wash
ed down the arroyo over 200 yards be-
fore they stopped. By this time one
of the horses had drowned while the
other was in a critical condition. This
one was at last helped to the shore and
finally revived.
The buggy was not damaged and
Mr.. Reese will arrive in the city this
afternoon.

Gold Coin

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 2O.-It is ex-
rected that before long Canada viii
have a gold coinage of it's own. Cana
dian currency is similar to that Of this
country, dollars and cents being
used as a basis of value, instead OF
the mother country's pounds, shillings
and pence, but heretofore there has
been no gold coins of the Dominion
with the exception of comparatively
few gold sovereigns coined at the roy
al mint.
The denominations will be IS and
SO. The gold will be obtained from
the Yukon region, and an effort will
be made to establish a government
purchasing agency at Dawson. The
mint will be able, it is thought, to
make a small margin of profit in COIN
ing gold

Action of Payne Aldrich-
Smoot Bill May Mean
Serious Trouble
HISTORY SHOWS THE
INEVITABLE RESULT
And in Case of Such a War
The Consumer Will Get
The Short End.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Unit
ed States is on the verge of tariff wars
with Germany, France and Canada, as
result of the provision Of the Payne
Aldrich- Smoot law imposing a maxi
mum additional duty of Is per cent
against imports from any country
which does not grant us it's minimum
rate.
March 81 is the date on which Presi-
Section 2 of the new tariff law, an
nOunce what countries the maximum
rate is to be enforced against. AS the
new tariff rates now stand, they aver
age about per cent higher than the
Dingley law rates. With the applica-
ton of the 25 per cent maximum duty
against the imports of any country dis
eliminating against our products, the
revision upward of the rates on the
products of such nations will amount
to 81 per cent This rate is almost
equivalent to prohibiting the country
against which it is assessed from SELL
ing us nythingswhatever Or. to put
it in another way, the application of
the maximum rates means an almost
compete cessation of trade between
the United States and the country
against which they are applied.
No one doubts that if we apply the
maximum rate against Germany.
France and Canada, each of these
countries will fight back with retalia-
tory rates against our products.
If the United States engages in
tariff war, the hardship, as usual, must
fall upon the consumer. The benefit
will accrue to the tariff trusts and COM
binations of American manufacturers.
When exchange between two nations
ceases. or even declines, the consumers
of the countries involved are placed
more than ever at the mercy of the

All trains on the Northern Pacific

pany, it will take several days to re-
rair the damage to the road between

Trains OH the WaIIuIa branch have

making the return trip. Walla Wala
passengers from Spokane are able to
reach this point by way of Wallula,
and until the damage to the track be-
tween Alto hill and Starbuck is re-
paired, this route will be in use.
Annual Event.
Railroad officials are of the opinion
that further interference with traffic
will not result, as snow in the valley
and foothills has generally been taken
off. The wash-outs generally occur
in February, but it is thought the sud-
den thaw of the past week will have
the effect of eliminating any POSSIBLE
ty of freshets later in the season.

Willmar tribune., 1910-03-30
THE LATE JUDGE NORDlN.

The death of Judge Nordin re-
moves from the scenes of this life a
most striking character, who has
been prominent in this county for
forty years in a political and social
way. Very few indeed Of the peo-
pie of Kandiyohi county did not
know A. F. Nordin, for he was kept
in some official position most of the
time since the early days when he
shared the privations and hardships
of the early settlers of the Norway
Lake community. and thus in the
course of time came in personal
contact with nearly everyone. He
was one of those cheerful and geni-
al characters that always radlate
!unshine and good cheer among his
surroundings, and he always had a
good word for everybody. He will
be greatly missed at Willmar where
hardly social gathering, whether
public or private, was considered
complete without the familiar fig
ure of Judge Nordin in the very
midst.
Peace to the ashes of the old pio-
