c.. F. White, poultry buyer, is
loading his second car of poultry
shipped from here this season, and
all day farmers have been seen
coming ITO town with crates and
boxes in their wagons filled with

ALVARADO IS A BIG
..... ..... GRAIN MARKET

Over 100000 bushels of grain
have already been marketed in Al
varado from this years crop, and
considerably more is in sight TO be
marketed during the winter and
spring. That Alvarado is a very
busy burg is a fact that every visi-
tor to the place at wheat shipping
time can substantiate. The village
is in the heart of q very rich farm
ing district. that generally produces
good crops, and the FARMERS are
mostly OF the progressive and up
to- date kind.

CANADIAN GRAIN COMES Z
TO MINNEAPOLIS

Over a Million Bushels of Oats and
Some Wheat have Arrived-Spec-
ulation as to What May Happen
+. If Countervailing Duty is Re-
moved ....--.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 9-Min-
neapolis Chamber of Commerce
firms today bought half million
bushels of Canadian oats that will
come to Minneapolis and pay the
SIX per cent import under the new
tariff, thereby recording the largest
business of the kind since the first
Canadian oats began to trickle
across the boundary after the I'm
denw0od bill went into effect.
A movement that the Great Nor
thern, $500 and Northern Pacific
roads have. handled, where in a car
or two of Canadian oats have ap-
paared on nearly every incoming
grain train from the boundary line,
has brought about 100000 bushels
into Minneapolis so far, but trains
arriving over the 800" and Great
Northern in the last few days have
had from ten to twenty cars of Ca
madam oats. That the total impor-
'tation by Minneapolis will have
reached 100000 bushels before the
year ends, was the prediction heard
on exchange today.
Offset of Two Pounds.
ThirtyIfour pounds is a legal bu-
shell in Western Canada and 80
pounds is the legal bushel in Min
nesota, and therein the west Cana
diam producer of oats finds an Off
set, in part for the six cents a bu-
shell duty that he has to stand. =:
What the increasing movement
Will do to the Minnesota oats pro-
Queer, was of speculation on ex-
change today. The recent bring.
ing IN of car Of: west Canadian
wheat, which sold at Minneapolis
prices after paying ten cents a bu-
shell import duty and freight from
a Manitoba point, was interesting
grain trade men said, not so much
for its own importance as in the
showing of what might happen if
the Canadian government takes off
the countervailing duty i'm january,
as some i'm the trade expect. But
the Canadian government may not
do that and no great thrush of Ca
nadian wheat is expected while the
ten cent import duty remains in ef-
feet.
= The oats sold at 40 cents, or prac-
tically the same price as the Min
neapolis figure for the correspond
ing quality. are coming in, with
payment of freight and duty as a
part of the calculation.

TO Paris. among the hordes OF American
visitors, a number OF men vitality inter-
ested in the administration OF the police
departments Of various American cities
They come to investigate how these
things are done in Europe" with the view
TO improving their own departments at
home.
They are welcome visitors at the Paris
Prefecture Of Police, and In the person
OF Emile Laurent, general secretary or the
Paris Prefecture, they have found a
courteous host, but at the same time an
official who has asked almost as many
questions as he answered.
"It is not my business to criticise the
American police" says NJ. Laurent. but
| venture to express my personal oplh-
ion that a fundamental error In the Amer
lean system is that insufficient attention
ia given ny the administrations or police
IN American cities TO the character OF the
recruits. our system in France is to
make a minute examination into the rec
ord of the applicant for admission TO the
force. We assume that man who has
az any time been guilty Of the least dis
honesty has a flaw in his character which
will affect his conduct when he Is ex-
posed to the temptations of policeman
THE procedures of police assume that
~ a man has reached the age OF twenty
four without a blemish on his character
he will remain honest for the rest OF his
life. do not consider the French sys-
tenn infallible, OF course, but the rarity
~ scandals indicates that II is good
one"
