' WALTER S?COCMONS, .5 .' .n.?l--.-: TARIFF REFORM BROUGHT HOME.;- : By a large majority the -German "Reichstag yesterday passed the final reading of the bill. providing for the extension of Germany's reciprocal tariff rates to the United States, until June. 1907. The tariff standpatters in this country profess to see a victory for their cause in this con cession, and claim that one of the chief arguments for disturbing the present tariff has been removed. The standpatters, however, are sadly deceived .if they believe that this respite of one year will in any way add to the strength of their cause. On the contrary it will afford the revisionists time to create more public sentiment in favor of their proposed maximum "and minimum tariff. Incidentally President Roosevelt having' se- , cured a decent railway rate law " for the country will be able to devote a great deal of his time to the; furtherance of a mbr modern tariff than the one now in use. ? . lhe united states needs a maximum and minimum tariff, a fact which is very clearly shown by the experience of Gaarj' Scott and Com pany, of this city, and hundreds of other industries scattered throughout the country. An article in the Palladium last Mondaj' stated that Gaar, Scott and Comapny intend to build a branch plant for the manufacture of threshing outfits in Canada. They are being forced to do , this on account of Canada's high tariff rates which have been raised to their pres ent high mark in order to protect Canadian manufacturers from the competition of this country. A reciprocity treaty has been proposed several times between the United States and Canada, but it has always been defeated by the standpatters of this country. "If there were a reciprocity treaty in effect at ' the prsehf time,

Howard and Allen Spurr, aged 19 and 21 reepectively, are the owners of an automobile that is nearly completed and which they have built themselves. The machine is a runabout type, and the engine is of late pattern; being a two-cylinder valveless, . with a rated horse power of seven.' : It is one of the ; most powerful . of : small engines oh the roarket, and as soon as "the transmision chain arives the. whole car will be completed and ready for its trial trip. This car has been built at a . cost of about $400," the parts Having been purchased from various manufac tures of automobile parts, and a sim ilar car if purchased from a manu facturer complete and ready to run would cost about twice that sum. The boys have been working on it at odd moments during the past two 3-ears, and believe that when it is complete, if will be a very satisfacto ry car. ! At the start neither of jthem knew anything about automo bile engineering, but with a fair knowledge of mechanics and a desire to own a machine, they set to work to build one. s It has been examined by local car owners, and all are "of the opinion , that it will be serviceable in every way and a very satisfactory car.

ULUC JAI WUIHIVOZUU ;u HE SWALLOWED A VALUABLE DIAMOND. ' Little Boy Heard of It, Watched for the Bird and Killed Itl Got Diamond, ' St. Paul, Feb. 23. Two hundred and fifty dollars is a large price to pay for one blue jay, but that was the standing offer made by Mrs. Hubert Prettyman, of Wheatley, for the right bird of this particular kind. -' Mrs. Prettyman lost the - diamond out of her ring one evening and did not discover the loss till the following day. Early in the morning of that day one of her neighbors; j looking from her window, noticed "a "brilliant point glittering like firein the rays of the stin, and while she "was V feting what ; it ould'be: ihat !ihd o rjght,f 'a 1 blue-jay camV , Hd'inr 'ffing 6d swallowed athe oBjec5 'which it was so6"h"decidettr-Tiitt bBeii the losfc diamond. i ffjtt jHarry T$,' tMMm year-od 'son of N. M. Trainor, lived seyn miles from Wheatley, but had reaSj of the itfeidentart the county paper, and although he had W gun, he knew a boy who wnew how to make "Figure 4" traps, and constructed three, which he set about in different places, bated with corn, in the hope that an erant blue jay might wander into one of them and prove to be the light bird. For three days he had no success whatever, but one morning he found one of the birds in his smallest trap, and when it was killed and examined the diamond was found in its gizzard. He came to town at once with his father, claimed and received the promised reward and put the wonderful sum of money in the bank to grow greater at compound interest and make a rich man ofhim some day. FRESH WATER FROM OCEAN ALL SEABOARD TOWNS TO BE SUPPLIED. Springs in the Ocean Make it Possi ble To Have The Best of t - Water. " New York, Feb. 23. Suggestion of great possibilities of fresh water supMy is given in a paper by Prof. C. H. 4iitchcopk,- of Dartmouth College. It is a stttdy bf fresh water" springs in Jhe ocen and within a Xqm : miles ....of the shote. Enough is known of the existence of such springs to warrant the.., belief that there must be vast quantities of fresh water discharged in this way through ttttdiscivered springs, and perhaps4 close to big citj ies and to fertile soil where the water is needed for drinking or for irri gation. ' Some of these springs show artesian conditions and will rise thirty-two to forty feet by the pres sure of the supply. There is a por ous water-bearing stratum beneath an impervious cover. lJiercing tins by boring gives access to a water sup ply that will rise quite a height with out pumping. One of the most notable examples of this condition is at the island of Oahu. The plantations on this isand have made valuable use of the water for irrigation purposes. On one plantation 5,000 acres are so irrigated. Though the pumps work continuously, the water never fails. Close to the coast line no pumps are needed as the water rises twenty-two feet. At Honolulu such water, will rise forty-two feet;. ... v At Oahu they reach this water-bearing .stratum by boring three hundred , to four , hun dred feet.
