new RULING HITS
N. D. CITIES
PORTAL Transfer CANNOT
DRIVE INTO CANADA AND
BACK WITHOUT PAY
ING DUTY.

Washington. June S.-The customs
court has given a decision which
promises to bring customs collections
into even more unpopuarity. Treas
ury officials declare 1t will entangle
the government in no end Of disputes
unless congress amends It.
Three words in one section OF the
Payne-Aldrich law have been con-
strued to mean that any American
born animal, once taken out of this
country must pay duty to return. 1t
is held that the law applies to all ami
mails, from pet poodles to draft horses.
Heretofore customs collectors have
been allowed to exercise some discre-
ton in enforcing this provision. Here
after they will have no alternative, and
the following will be some of its ef-
fects:
An American woman who takes her
pet poodle to Europe will have to pay
duty on 1t when she returns.
Collector Loeb at New York has
begged the treasury department to
allow him to wink at the law, but has
been advised that the government will
allow no winks.
A Niagara Falls hacl1man no longer
will be allowed to drive his fare across
the gorge to the Canadian side of the
waterfall unless he is prepared to pay
full duty on his horse when he comes
back. There is no provision by which
he might put up bond guaranteeing
his return.
Many Americans who have summer
homes in Canada and usually take
their horses and dogs with them will
be confronted with duty when they
return.
At some places along the border,
customs officers say, the enforcement
Of the law will amount to restriction
of commerce between cities. Much
teaming is done between Detroit and
Windsor over the ferries At other
border cities the situation is parallel
ed. Under the courts ruling during an
American merchant in Detroit who
drives to Windsor must pay duty on
his team before he can return to De-
troit. At Portal, N. D., teamstel
cannot drive from one side of Mair
street to the other without paying
duty when he returns.
The law has been in effect since
Aug. 5, 1909, but the customs officials
have never enforced 1t. The customs
courts decision leaves no alternative
for them. Several congressman are
preparing to introduce bills amend.

BRIDE ARRIVES
GROOM MISSING
FAILS TO KEEP APPOINTMENT
WHEN GIRL ARRIVES FROM
MISSOURI.

jamestown, N. D.. June ga ro-
nance which had the proverbial inter-
ruption that prevents true love from
running smoothly reached it's climax
In this city Monday when pretty
southern girl, temporarily stranded
here, was again brought into commune
cation with her North Dakota lover
and was started on her way to become
the mistress Of his farm.
Miss Rose stone, who will soon be
Mrs. Peter Nelson of Mercer, N. D.,
says that in the love affair that
brought her across several states from
her Missouri home, Uncle Sans mail
service played a prominent part. She
was picking cotton in her sunny home
when the knowledge reached her that
a certain younG farmer at Mercer
needed some nice little girl very much
like herself to share his farm home
and make life more worth the living.
She thought life would be more vaIu-
able to her too, In the more northern
home.
Letters between the two with the
time honored exchange of photographs
followed and cupid held full sway al
though the hearts his arrow had
pierced were SO far separated. Things
went on in this merry way until the
separation became unbearable. The
southern girl was sent for and with
the request to come to North Dakota
was a liberal check for passage. This
money brought the bride to be to
jamestown, where the meeting was to
take place, Sunday morning but no
loving swain appeared to claim her.
She looked about anxiously among
the strange faces for the one that
resembled the photo she was treasur-
ing, but it was not there.
More waiting followed and then a
doubt crept into her mind. She hest
tated for a time and then started to
seek work. She fell into the kind
hands of Mrs. c. A. Klaus, who offered
her the necessary employment but also
tried to learn something of the young
man. Chief of Police ObermilIer was
also called to help and in a short time
message was sent to the railway
agent at Mercer.
This man Immediately replied that
he knew Mr.. Nelson wen and that
there must be some mistake. He add
ed that the girl should be sent on at
once, saying that he would readily
vouch for Mr.. Nelson. The girl hated
to leave her new found friend Mrs.
Klaus, but the call of the lover was
the stronger and after a sad goodbye
and many expressions Of gratitude she
left on the morning train Monday for
Mercer.
