CHEAP MEAT FOR FOREIGNERS

American Meat Dear Only to Ameri-
cans-Cheap to Londoners.
It was brought out the other day in
a discussion in the senate that the
price Of beef is 31% cents higher in De-
troit than it is in Windsor, which is a
little town right across the river in
Canada. The cost Of living in the lat
ter place is. it appears. at least % per
cent cheaper than in Detroit. Hun
dreds of Canadians from Windsor
come over every day to work in De-
troit and go back in the evening to
their homes just across the border,
where they can live so much more
cheaply.
But why is there this difference il
the cost Of living? So far as meat is
concerned there is tariff duty of ~
cents pound on fresh meat coming
into America. That accounts for so
much of the difference. But why, in
the language OF the tariff apologists.
don't the Canadian meat producers
send their meat across the border.
pay the duty and make a handsome
profit out of the other g cents mar
gin?
Well, doubtless there are shrewd
trade reasons for their not doing So
The Canadians know that present
price levels are not dependable; that
any active show of competition on
their part would be the signal for re-
adjustment of American prices to the
safe level afforded by the tariff The
extent of the duty is not a measure Of
the power of extortion enjoyed by the
beef trust. The tariff is the founda-
ton privilege upon which they can
by combination build superstructure
of extortion which they can use or
not as competition may determine.
Senator Bailey in the same debate
gave very droll explanation of the
above mentioned discrepancy in prices
1T is" said he. because the Ameri-
cans at Detroit have better quality
of beef than the Canadians have at
Windsor" But in the fervor of his
argument he proved too much. He
went on to say that for fifty years
the people of the United States have
been exporting their best beef to Great
Britain. The American farmer pre-
pares his very best for export be-
cause they pay higher price over
there than we are willing to pay
here"
But according to a cable dispatch
published in the New York World Of
Feb. 2 butchers in London are selling
the best American beef at 8 to II cents
a pound less than in New York They
sell it as prime Scotch" 1t is slaugk
tered at Liverpool. and the highest
price is "a cents a pound as againet
50 and 80 cents pound for the same
beef in Fifth avenue, New York. The
World thus summarizes the situation.
and it calls for earnest inquiry:
1.-THE beef sold in London so much
cheaper than in New York is Ameri-
can beef. bought on the hoof in the
same markets used by American pack

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS OF WlLLMAR
INVOLVED.

The public affairs committe of
the Commercial Club of Willmar
presented four petitions, one from
each ward Of the city, to the Coun-
ty Board last Wednesday afternoon
asking this body to take speedy &C.
tion in regard to che matter Of hav-
ing the natural and normal level of
Foot Lake determined and placing
a dam at the outlet that will insure
that such level will remain perma-
nent and that the water of the lake
will not be permitted to seep out
into the county ditch which comes
up near the outlet ard which it is
now proposed to dig still deeper.
This asked for action is the key
Of all proposed improvements of
Foot lake. The former unauthor-
lied damming Of he lake, the subse-
quent blowing out Of this dam by
unknown parties, the digging of
the county ditch up to the railroad
culvert and draining Of the marsh
south of the road and the alleged
digging in the bed Of the outlet
during dry periods by stock owners
below who wished to secure water
for their stock has rendered the
true level of the outlet matter Of
much doubt. While this doubt ex-
lists it will be hard to secure popu-
lar sentiment to back any projects
pending to clean up the lake or
make imp ovements on it's shores.
And it is no more than right that
where doubt exists that the course
of action should be taken that
would confer the greatest good to
the greatest number. There is no
doubt at all that the public health
requires that the stage of the water
in Foot lake be kept up to the high
est point possible. The sins of the
community of permitting sewage
filth to be carried into the lake all
these years are likely to be visited
upon the community if the water
stage should become very low, and
hence the health of the city is very
directly dependent upon the keep
ing up of the water stage until
such time that the bottom of the
lake can be cleaned up. This may
now seem to be rather impossible,
hut no one who has faith in the fu-
ture of Willmar and it's continued
growth as a city doubts that the

now Is acting in the capacity OF bust
ness manager for Johnson, comes
along with the same opinion OF the
Cadillac boy. Whether there is any
personal reason back of this animos-
ity TO the little Michigan Wildcat who
wrested the crown from Battling Nell
son, can only be conjectuIed. At any
rate, the big Negro isn't heavy for
the little fellow.

entities him 10 the lightweight crown
and goes back six months TO point out
the fact that Wolgast was not able
TO put Bat Nelson away In the late
rounds OF their mill. although the Bat
tier was hardly strong enough TO stand
up. Then he saw the bout with Red
mond at Milwaukee In which Wolgast
injured his arm, and he declares that
Wolgast's showing In that 60 was
about the poorest that he has ever
seen a champion make.
But he doesn't see much chance for
Adolph TO lose his crown unless Bat
Nelson can come back and grab IL.
Jack thinks Packey Mcfarland can put
IL over Wolgast, but declares the
stockyards boy can never make 1875
ringside. much less 1873.
But there is one fighter for whom
Johnson Is boosting And that Is Al
Kaufman. He believes that Kaufman
is the man who will next hold the
heavyweight title. He places him as
the peer OF all heavyweights today

course. The champion is never too
busy to put in little boost for Kaun'
