Bemidji started the slaughter by
knocking Willis Thompson out of the
box in the first inning after having
scored six runs. Ivan Cam replaced
him and Thompson went to first.
Cam had better luck but the Bemidji
boys connected with him often
enough to run up surprising score.
The Blackjack boys were good losers
and not a word of complaint was
heard.
For the last three innings, Bemidji

Rates on Such Necessities of Life as
Flour, Sugar, Clothing and Shoes
Lowered Materially.
MEANS SAVING OF WASTE
Obsolete Machinery and Ouf-of-Date
Methods Must Go to the
Scrap Heap.
By CLYDE H. TAVENNER
(Member of Congress.)

washington, April 28.-The report
of the Ways and Means committee on
the Underwood tariff bill has been
published. For the benefit of those
who talk tariff with their neighbors,
I will give briefly some of the salient
facts brought out in the report.
Since 1897 the wholesale prices of
all commodities used by the Ameri-
can people have advanced an average
OF forty-seven per cent. But some of
the prime necessities of life have ad-
vanced much beyond that average.
For instance, farm products have in
creased ninety-three per cent in
price. Other food products have in
creased forty-seven per cent. The
increased cost Of clothing is thirty
six per cent and house furnishings
twenty-four per cent.
At the same time there have been
growing up under the fostering care
Of successive protective tariff laws
gigantic trusts dealing inethe necessi-
ties of life. The Underwood report
names PA of these Industrial COM
binations with total capitalization
of nearly $9,000,000,000
Another effect of prohibitive tariffs
is the resultant waste Of the natural
resources of the United States-re-
sources which, when once exhausted,
can never be restored. With foreign
timber, ores and minerals barred
from importation by prohibitive dut-
les, we have been exhausting our own
at a ruinous rate.
While industries within the coun-
try are rapidly becoming monopolized
and competition is being smothered,
there has been no spur of foreign
competition to make our trusts adopt
the most efficient manufacturing
methods. Obsolete plants, old mach
merry and out-of-date methods, Which
Lave practically been eliminated in
foreign countries, exist in this coun-
try. This is waste, and the public
pays for every dollar of it.
In the new bill the rates on per-
fumes, fine chinaware, automobiles,
jewelry, tobacco, oriental rugs, Paris
hats and other luxuries have been in
creased or maintained; the present
rates on such necessities as lumber,
soap, cutlery, sugar, meat, fours,
cotton and wool clothing, paper and
shoes have been greatly reduced or
done away with altogether. Neces-
sites placed on a free list will make
total annual saving to the Ameri-
can consumer of close to 100000
900; while there will be other vast
savings in duties which have been
reduced. -
The Republican theory of placing
duties which shall equalize the diff
ference in cost of production at home
and abroad, has been rejected, for the
reason that; to quote the report, "a
duty which equalizes this average
difference protects no one, since it is
more than is needed by the most eff
fcient producer, and less than is
needed by the least efficient pro-
Queer" = 100 ~
AS matter of fact, because of
American machinery, and efficient
American workmanship, cost of pro-
duction here is no greater than it is
abroad.

ROAD BUILDER
 COMES HOME \
Col. Richardson Returns From Tour of Insp cotton of Com
 mission Work.

Col. Richardson. chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, re- turned yesterday afternoon from a trip of inspection of the work being done by the commission in all parts of Alaska.
 The Colonel was met at Ghil- ina by Lieut.. Edgerton, the engi- neer officer of the commission, and together they made an in spection of the wagon road from Valdez as far north as Gulkana.
 In speaking to representative of the Prospector in regard to the trail, Col. Richardson said:
 We started from Fairbanks after the recent heavy rains and were thus able to pass over the road at it's worst. Had we left a day or two earlier we would have been enabled to make a fast trip, but I am glad we were de- layed in order that We could see the road at it's worst.
 II find that the road is in such condition that an automobile can go over it, but it is not yet what you would call an automobile road, but it can be made one if congress so directs.
 Our auto truck made the trip with an average load of ton, and we had mo difficulty except at Sheep creek, near Wortmans, where the breaking of a lake washed out the bridge and we were delayed taking the machine across the creek until we had se- lected ford and prepared de- scent into and ascent out of the creek bed.
 "The same high water had washed out the covering Cf ihe government road through the Keystone canyon. and the sharp, jagged rocks made travel diff cult, but not impossible. The canydn road will be repaired in :. a few days.
 2 ''The auto truck had its great est difficulty with the wet clay, which allowed the wheels to slip, and nothing but chains will be of any use in such places, which are frequent when the road is To- catcd along the clay banks of the streams: wo were delayed in crossing many such places and
