township, offered a substitute motion,
seconded by j. H. Hogan, that town.
ships wanting to, could withdraw
and new boundaries be proposed. This
carried unanimously.
A. M. DOugan moved again, seconded
by j. d. johnson, asking for a vote on
whether or not the reserve should be
approved. E. T. Hogan offered an
amendment that townships who want
ment carried unanimously. The
chairman then submitted Dougan's
motion as amended which on roll call
was carried, e. T. Hogan and Geo. w.
Rash being the only ones to vote
against it.
There was little furry at the time
of all the motions and amendments,
no direct vote being taken on the
plain and simple motion of Mr.. Dou-
gan's, which would have definitely
told the story of how each of the COM
mittee members stood on the propo-
sition, but enough knowledge was
gained from the expressions made
during the course of the evening and
the votes taken to show that the big
majority are opposed to the federal
forest reserve in the county
After the vote was taken, Represent
ative Therrien gave an Grafton on
taxes and tax delinquency, stating
that the TOWNSHIPS should not spend
what is levied each year, but just
spend what taxes are collected, for
instance if $4,000 is levied and only
$4,000 is collected in taxes, the latter
sum only should be spent by the gov
erning body. Which in the case of
some of the northeastern townships is
like locking the barn door after the
horse is stolen, and it might be added
that practicing what one breaches will
also go farther. Several townships in
Pine county are on cash basis and
most of the precincts, villages or town
ships, are on firm financial basis be-
cause they have practiced and not
preached thrift and spent only as they
went along, or no more than they
could see their way through to pay.
The meeting then adjourned.

COMPROMISE IS SOUGHT
Eleven Agricultural Groups Pro-
test the Schedules on
Products.

Washington-Deve in the
tariff situation indicates that slight
concessions are being made to the farm
group by the Republican house leaders
in connection with the tariff bill, but
more dramatic developments were &C.
curing on the senate side.
Over in the senate, where the de-
benture plan for making the tariff ap-
ply in part to the surplus crops, has
been attached to the farm bill, it de-

ufactured items and to raise farm
rates, the alternative being the tariff
bill in this session and possibly no
farm bill.
The group of Republican senators
who voted for debentures are included
in the program to attack the tariff bill.
With the senate committed to the pro-
gram of lowering already existing
rates, to raise farm rates and to in
Sist upon debenture, and the house de-
termined to yield only as little as is
necessary on the farm rates and to
GUST debenture, the markings Of a
deadlock between senate and house
are evident.
These developments became known
while the Republicans of the house
were in conference. The conference
was for the purpose of feeling out the
sentiment among the Republican mem
bership and pave the way for an I'M
derstanding which will have the back
ing of the Republican majority and the
solidarity of the Republican member
ship.
Before going into conference, the
members were in receipt of copies of
statements issued by various farm or
CARNATIONS, IL in number, signed by
their representatives, expressing sub
dued but positive dissatisfaction with
the tariff as it deals with agriculture
$4,000 Road Oil Losses Admitted.
Chicago-Henry Blim, former secre-
fary-treasurer of the American-Mex
can Petroleum Co., admitted here that
his company substituted 100000 gal
Ions of domestic road oil for the Mexi-
can higher-priced products specified
TO fill the 1926 contract for the city of
Minneapolis. The city paid for the
Mexican product to the full extent of
the contract, and the loss to Minneap-
oils is estimated at $4,000. Mr.. Blim
made his statement to Floyd B. Olson
of Minneapolis, Hennepin county at
sorney, who was here to check up the
city's 1926 road oil purchases with the
firms which supplied the oil.

San Francisco-Fears for the fate
of the five masted square rugged sail

expressed here by Christian Jensen,
president of the East Asiatic Co. The
vessel sailed from Buenos Aires for
Melbourne last December IA in bal

CLEVELAND, May 3-Lake Erie was
commencing to settle down today after
one Of the worst storms in its history,
while owners of lake front property
along the entire shore line from Cleve-
land to Toledo counted losses incurred
by the pounding of waves that swept
unchecked past hopelessly inadequate
breakwaters. Damage was estimated at
100000.
Famed by a wind that sometimes
reached a velocity of 60 miles an hour
and accompanied by rain, hail, sleet
and snow, the turbulent lake tossed vio-
lently throughout the night.
Apparently the worst of the storms
violence was in the vicinity of SAN
dusky Rushed back into Sandusky
Bay, lake waters forced the bay level
as much as feet above normal. Docks
were broken, piers awash and lowlandi
inundated.
Similar conditions prevailed at Put

Maumee Bay. lake waters rose feet
above normal and surrounded II homes
