In the Albert Lea case, il is alleged

asserts that the first-class rate from
eastern points to Albert Lea exceeds
the Minneapolis rate by Is cents a

notwithstanding the fact that the haul
is l0l miles shorter to Albert Lea
than to Minneapolis. The Business

CANADA RULES ON LUMBER.
Alleged Evasion Of Duties by Ameri
cans to Be Guarded Against.


Ottawa, Minnesota, Wash
ington. British Columbia and Western
Canada lumber firms will be interested
in an important ruling just made by
the dominion customs board. 4 circu-
lar regarding II and giving instruc.
tions TO customs collectors will be sent
out Immediately.
A delegation OF the Canadian Lum-
bermen's Association argued the case
before the board and urged that there
are serious violations by United States
lumbermen of the rough lumber proyi-
sion. Under the tariff. lumber dressed
on one side Is free. When 1t is also
dressed on the edge 1t is dutiable. II
is alleged that the Americans plane
the board on one side and also on the
edge, subsequently roughening the lat
ter so as to put il in the class free of
duty. A British Columbia delegation
supplemented the appeal of the lum-
bermen's association.
BY the ruling now made, collectors
are instructed TO see that a very close
inspection OF such importations is
made and where the lumber has been
edged in any way as well as dressed
on the side. il will be dutiable to the
extent of % per cent.
The Western lumbermen claim that
there have been extensive shipments
into Canada of this class of lumber. but
the imposition of the 25 per cent duty
should tend to diminish it materially,
at least TO prevent what is claimed tc
be an evasion of the customs act.

FIGURING MILLS MRGED

Kansas City, Mo. Preliminary,
plans for the formation Of a 5000. 900
corporation to merge ten of the largest
Touring mills in Kansas were laid here
by six meh, representing seven Of
the mills. They decided that IL the
milling men of Kansas want to make
money. they must merge. Property in
vestments of s3,500.000 were repre-
sented at the meeting. Final plans
for the merger will be completed be-
fore January, 1912.
George II. Hunter of Wellington,
who is the prime mover in the merger,
says the combined Canadian mills and
other merged mills in the Northwest
are making the Kansas miller hurry
for the -four business in the territory
east of Kansas City.
The larger plants, according to Mr..
Hunter, have a great advantage be
cause under one management, they
can make and sell the same grade OF
flour TO the trade, while the unorgan-
lied Kansas millers are selling grades
that are not uniform. The result is
that the baker is disappointed In
Kansas -four.
According to Mr.. Hunter, the merge
will reduce the cost of -four to the con
sumer through a saving in cost oi
/ production. Strict compliance TO the
/ antitrust law, as laid down by the de
cision of the supreme court. will mari
