Treat Wheat for Seed. z
The Millers National federation,
which met in Minneapolis last sum-

mittee in Chicago, which President
Dwight NJ Baldwin and Vice Presi-
dent John S. Pillsbury attended,
which contemplates the issuing of
many thousands of circulars direct
ing farmers how to treat wheat for
seed. and the distribution of these
circulars through the offices of flour
milling companies that hold fedora
ton memberships.
An independent offer of the Hub
bard q Palmer interests of Mankato,
announced today, to sell seed wheat
to farmers at cost, is one illustra-
ton of many, of the efforts being
made individually to stimulate inter
est in good seed selection, that the
grain crop of 1911 may be a big

Minneapolis, January 2l.-The

Expenditures; Also Reduce Sink

Nuisance Under Old System.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Changes in the present city char
ter are favored by the trainers there
of. This sentiment developed at a
meeting of the commission held at
the city hall last evening. Such
changes as are finally decided upon
will be submitted to the voters at
the city election to be held April a.
Besides the members of the COM
mission there were also present the
city commissioners and some of the
city officers. c. O. Daley, attorney
for the commission, was also pres
ent
In discussing that part of the char
ter that deals with the monthly pub
fishing of receipts and disbursements
the commission felt that it would
be wise to recommend that instead
of publishing these monthly it would
be better to require the city clerk
to make out an itemiZed statement
at the end of each month, the same
to be filed at his office and only
Cuts the Mill Tax.
The commissioners thought that the
sinking fund tax of five mills on
dollar was too high and they will
recommend that the portion of the
charter dealing with the sinking
fund tax read that this tax shall be
at least one mill on dollar.
That part of the charter that pro-
hibits the transferring or borrowing
OF money from one fund to another
was discussed. The commission as
a whole did not favor such transfer
of money. Some thought that the
general fund should be open to snch
Withdrawals and that money Dor
rowed from this fund would not have
to be returned 10 that fund Nothing
definite was decided and the matter
went over TO the next meeting Some
OF the members were opposed to this
on the ground that if such borrow
ing were once started the practice
would become so general that the
real fund amount would soon be lost

Practice Became Nuisance.
They said this practice became a
nuisance under the old city govern
inent and it would be well to check
this motion into old channels before
| it got started.
The meeting approved Of direct
collecting Of the sprinkling tax by
the city as it is now done and no
change will be recommended. The
! provision in the charter referring
to sidewalk improvements was left
to Commissioner j. D. Humiston and
City Engineer John Wilson to report
at the next meeting. The meeting
adjourned to meet again next Mon
| day evening.

DECLARE LINE WILL BE BUILT
lnterurban Electric Between Albert
Lea and Worthinaton.

Albert Lea, January 20.-The pro-
moters of the proposed electric line
from this city west, short distance
north of the state line, are still ac-
tive and declare that the line will
surely be built. G. E. Doyle, one of
the gentlemen interested in the deal,
was i'm Albert Lea Wednesday for q
short time, but escaped the newspa-
per men. He went from here TO
Bricelyn on business and was to at
tend a meeting in Mansfield Thurs
day He stated that he would be in
Albert Lea again Friday. So far the
most of their work has been on the
west end of the line, but they seem
to be starting things in this section
now. The following notes what they
state:
A. w. knight Of Chicago and G. E.
Doyle of East Chain spent Sunday in
FairmOnt. They are still kept busy
going over the proposed route, MAX
ing the preliminary arrangements.
Mr.. Knight states that he has sue
ceeded in interesting eastern capital
lists in the project and that there is
no question that the road will be
built.
AS previously stated the road eX
tends from Albert Lea to Worthng
ton, the greater part of the line be-
ing a short distance from the state
line.
The locating surveyor will com
mence work next week, proceeding
from WOrthingtOn to Albert Lea. He
VIII determine the exact route. This
work will require about two weeks
He will be followed by those secur
ing right of way getting contracts
for deeds or assessments from the
land owners, through whose land the
road would pass. They will be fol
lowed by surveying crew who will
take the levels, whose report will
show the grading, eXcavating ant
other work to be done. A charter
will in the meantime be obtained
/ from the state. Those interested
declare that dirt will be flying OF
the line next fall.

added the cost of transportation,
which may range, according to dis
lance, anywhere from $3.50 to SIS a
thousand feet; also the cost of
handling the lumber at destination
out Of cars and into lumber piles,
delivery to buyers and profit TO the
dealer. These facts are seldom
taken into account by the ordinary
lumber consumer, who does not re-
alize that where the lumber used
twenty-five or thirty years ago prob.
ably was transported an average of
800 miles now il must be transport
ed an average Of not less than
900 miles.
Now Is the Time to Buy.
Those in a position to know where
of they speak say that now is the
time TO buy lumber for ordinary
building purposes. Building lumber
will never be cheaper than it is to-
day, and already there are signs
that prices will advance. This Is
inevitable, because the laws of sup
ply and demand insure in the long
run goods being sold for more than
the cost of making them, and when
for time they have been sold be-
low or at cost the failure OF pro-
ducers and, therefore, the curtail
ment of product by the shutting
down of bankrupt plants, will bring
prices back to a reasonable basis.
part of the country is able, so fac
as the saw mill men are concerned,
to secure lumber today at prices
which are not likely TO be duplicat-
ed in the future.

BUILDING MATERIAL FIGURES
ARE LOWER THAN EVER.
Those Who Profess to Be in Posi-
tion to Know Whereof They
Speak Advise That This Is a
Good Time to Buy for Struc.
lures; Cause of Reduction in
Rates; Interesting Statement.

From Fridays Daily.
Ii is a remarkable fact that while
practically every commodity has ad-
vanced in price during the last few
years lumber prices are now lower
than they have been at any time,
with two or three brief exceptions,
for thirteen years. Lumber ad.
vanced i'm price for few years be.
fore the panic of 1907, but at that
time took a heavy drop from which
il has not yet recovered.
Gather Some Figures,
This relates to price secured by
producers at their mills. For ex.
ample: The United States forest
service reports the average price OF
No. yellow pine flooring in Texas
at S9.1S a thousand feet; in Arkan.
sas, $9.42; in Louisiana, 1888: in
Mississippi, SS.07; in Alabama
$3.50. These prices were for July,
August and September, 1910, which
months the last report covers. The
average price at southern mills for
No. 3 common boards is today about
1928, as shown by reports to the
Yellow Pine association. No. hem
lock dimension is selling at the
Wisconsin mills at about so thou.
sand feet, and No. l at various
prices from $40 TO SIG
Building Lumber Very Low.
The Pacific coast is selling ordi-
nary building lumber very low, ow-
ing TO its distance from the mar,
kets. Low grade boards, scan,nng,
etc, have sold within the last few
weeks as low as $3.50 thousand
feet which is far below the cost of
production. The forest service re.
ported the mill price OF common
dimension in Washington during
last summer as 1897, and prices are
now lower than then.
SO in every variety of woods the
ordinary qualities and kinds which
enter into building to the greatest
extent, are sold nj such low prices
ri the mills that The producers can
not get back cost of manufacture
and the value of their standing lin.
Der.
Some kinds of good lumber are
high in price, owing TO their scar
city. High grade white pine lumber
can not be secured in sufficient
quantities TO supply the demand,
and SO if a buyer requests clear,
wide, thick, white pine, which was
abundant forty years ago, he must
pay what might be considered fancy
prices for it; but finishing lumber
in western white pine is selling at
moderate price, while common
boards are quoted by the Forest
Service at $15.94.
Cost of Transportation.
To these prices secured by the
manufacturers at the mills must be

FROWNED ON CALF STEALING
Judge Decides There Is No Open
Season for Veal Pilferinq.

Judge Decides There Is No Open
Season for Veal Pilfering.
From Tuesdays Oaiiv
Judge w. l.. Comstock decided in
court yesterday that there is no open
season for calf hunting neither can
Il man ride forth and kidnap any
future bovine that gambOls near the
highway. Thomas Fuller and Roy
Kigley did these things and the
court did not regard them with
pleasure. His honor frOwned upon
Kigley, but Fuller received dou-
BILE quota of frOwns.
Both pleaded guilty to the charge
but said that they were deeply under
the Influence of recently purchased
liquor. Judge COmstOck fined Fuller
ten dollars and costs while Kigley,
who is only boy, escaped with a
five dollar separation. Later the
court suspended sentence till the
last day in February. The total val
ue of the calf was given as three
dollars and the men who eloped with
it feel that the price OF veal has
scared some.
During the examination three deal
ers in liquor were summoned into
court and were questioned regarding
the sale of intoXicants to the minor
Kigley.

CHAMPS WIN THE FINAL GAME
Nile Goes Up in the Air and the Champions
Pound Him for Fourteen Hits

Wenatchee's star slab artist failed to
come through with the necessary stuff
Sunday, and as a result the Champs
pounded him for fourteen hits and Sc
cured eleven runs to their opponents
FIVE. 1t was, no doubt, poor exhibi-
ton Of baseball, but the fact that our
bunch were cracking the ball at re-
gular intervals, made it look good to
US. Nearly every one expected to see
a tight game with the score more near
ly even. But Kile had his bad day
and there was nothing to it.
Brown pitched a great game against
his old team mates, allowing eight hits
and getting eight strike outs. Crom
and Arnold did the sensational work
with the stick, the former getting a
home run, while the latter was credited
with four hits out OF FIVE times up.
