Germany's New Export .Duty
on Potash Creates Protest
From American Contractors
, Against Whom It is Aimed.
Washington, Nov. II. A tariff war is
threatened ..- between this country nd
Germany at a result o tax Imposed
by " the German government upon ex
: ports of potash ; which works to In
" validate contracts Involving about S27.-
l 000,008 entered into between American
firm and German miners.
'A'lie state department has received
urgent appeals from g ricultural so
' cletles; every breed of politician; the
frtmftr manufacturers and Interestea
mercantile firms, to intervene for the
: protection of American consumers, wnen
i It is considered that about 2,000,000
farmers Jn this country are Interested

that the. German Reichstag, In lmpos-
? lng an. export ta upon this commodity
which makes It imoossiDie ior Amerv
f can firms to handle It under the present
contract price, has cut directly into the
i -welfare of the .American farmer.
. The farmer has taken auick notlct!
, of this state of affairs with the result
that every diplomatic pressure Is being
f brought to bear by tna state aepariment
to effect an amicable settlement of the
difficulty. Ambassador Bill aided by
a representative of the bureau of trade
relations, M. H.; Davis,' Is directly. W
touch with the German foreign office.
' If Germany falls to accede to the de
mand of the American diplomats. It is
highly probable that the maximum tar

.yriee Bailed 70 sr Cent
- The export tax; upon potash which
was passed by the German Reichstag
on May 10 last Increases the price of
potash In this country . about 70 per
cent . This tax was Imposed after Am
erican buyers,- taking advantage' of a
peculiar situation In the German mar
ket had entered into contracts for vast
quantities of potash at a-very favor
able price.. . ' V' ' ; ''
, For several years the production and
sale of potash in Germany was con-
. trolled by a syndicate which practical
1 v dictated . the output and consequent
ly,, the price of potash. .This syndl-'
rate expired in June, 1908, Friction be-1
tfn the heads of the . various sub-
nditary t firms1 of the syndicate made
It impossible ' for them to agree upon
trms for a rcestabllshment of the syn
dicate. This open competition between
the companies nsturslly forced -potash
flown to" a very low figure ' Foreseeing
1hat 'future agreement' might again
placr thm at tho mrcy of the German
syndicate., American buyers made large
contracts "with the several companies,
Most of thoee contracts -were' tor two
yoar ,wlfh the, privilege of renewal for
- five years at' the expiration pfthat
"tlnii". " , ,-. . 7".",
Just exactly what the American buy
ers anticipated did happen. The Ger
tnjm prodiwers smothered their dtffer
encn and the. old syndicate was rees
tablished,: Americans .'manufacturers
found themselves on top with ong-tlme
contracts to protect them. - : -The
syndicate -interests, then . turned
'their attention to squirming out of the
American contracts. The law failed
. and they turned to the Jtelchstag. Sev
eral bills to force up the price and limit
the "production of potash were Intro
duced, each one aiming; at the American
contracts. . ;
Finally In JunvlS0J a bill was passed
Imposing the heavy export tax. The
American manufacturers had) already
made contracts for the sale of their
products at price based upon the fig
ures of thrlr German contract.
Applications fot Burnt Timber.,
Irge .applications for burnt timber
are being received at the forest ervlc
offices here and requests from lumber
men and contract loggers for Informa
tion in regard to good loogging cnances
are being received daily. ,In northern
Idaho, and western Montana, the for
est service' is refusing to make sales
of green timber, -except where .such :ac-
tion win work hardships on tne uu
men. . "Thla ; course' Is being taken on
the theory that every Stick of flre-
fcllled timber utilised means - a stick
of areen timber for future use.
The forest service is now announc
ing the largest sale of fire-damaged
stock- on recoed. The opportunities of
fered by the service to the' lumbermen
Include practically all kinds of logging
chances, from operations Involving large
capital which can handle a hundred mil
lion feet ?r more down to the small
sawmill men or the tie-makers who de
sire a hundred ' thousand feet or less,
The pulp men are also given bargain
prices.:..-,-, ;.. -,:
As ft rule the stumpage is being set
at about one-half the-rate .that would
be asked for the timber If alive, .Other
fire-sale timber r Is being: put on the
market at prices which, the government
officials declare, will never be offered
again, -v -' ' i -y'
Ths logging of the timber Is believed
to be practicable in most Instances, al
though the forest service officers real
ise that some of the stock will remain.
unsoia Decause it is tnaccessinie. .
It is estimated by Supervisor Wei els
that there is approximately 100000,000
icei ut BuceuBBuia iinioer on tne .
Joe watershed. -Montana. Welgle de
clares that 60 per cent of this timber
is excellent western white pine. The
remainder U a mixture ot spruce, larch,
red fir, bemlock and cedar The timber
lies on five logging units, four of which
contain more ' than 100,000,000 feet
Practically all of this timber rap be
logged profitably, although there will
be some expense Involved In construct
ing; roads and Improving streams for
"driving." Tho average "drive" for the
St Joe timber will be lets than 12 pities
to the railroads. .; t .. . . . . ..
There are numerous other' bodies of
flradcllled timber scattered throughout
the region swept by the forest fires.

man is justly proud these days, for
from three 6 the largest capitals In
Europe famous chiefs of police' have
oome to study his ways and methods,
Herr von Jagow, head Of the s Berlln

chief of the St. Petersburg police, who
all have had plenty of chances to handle
unruly mobs, have met to study the
London "bobby" dealing with the enor

Herr von Jagow came first, and,
though knowing him to harbor anything
but friendly feelings for foreign Jour
no lists, especially those with a power
ful government behind them I picked
up sufficient courage to beard him in
his lair and found htm a very-pleasant
fellow, I asked him If he knew anything
about the coming of his colleagues from
abroad and whether their simultaneous
arrival here meant that a conference
was' to be held. yr-, ' ;.
"Not that I know of,'" he said with a
smile. "I shall be delighted to meet col
leagues from other capitals but am not
aware of any arrangement for a- con
ference." v
To Study English Methods.
I asked him If he meant to study
English methods of dealing with crim
inals. '"I may 'do so," was the reply. "I
shall certainly avail myself of the op
portunity if J have time. But I have
never been to London before, and my
object Is -mainly to study the methods
of controlling the street traffic. : Tou

There Is being develODed In
an Industry which is likely to add much
to tne material prosperity of that coun

turers of the British Isles draw their
supply from various sources as widely
distributed as Sumatra and Cuba, the
Philippine Islands and tho United States,
China and Brazil. Here close to hand
a market is now being opened up whkli
Is full of promise.
Let it not be forgotten that tobacco
at one time, was grown extensively in
ireiana ror commercial purposes aa well
as In England , and Scotland, but the
iron neel or James I and his successors
effectually stamped out the industry, ;
Keceni experiments carried on by the
government hav shown that nearly
every kind of tobacco - may be crown
In Ireland, and the actual area now
under cultivation Is 120 acres, compris

wouldn't have made a good king even

This is. however, onlv norti tv,,.
and there Is considerable excuse to be
round for him. Most of these com
plaints are based upon his conduct whed

when he was very fond of spending his
evenings at some music nail or theatre

It must be remembered that from
being a mere schoolboy, under the con-
trol of tutors and court off lelals. he
betrame a ruling sovereign, and was Xree
from all restraint and tha.t this was
his first holiday outside his Own coun

that Is not usual, and his Wa-hrV lm:
