Tariff removal debate and frontier settlement plans at Watertown
South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota millers met in Watertown and passed resolutions calling for removing the wheat tariff. Senator Gamble said Tripp County lands will open to settlement next September. J H Scriven, named allotting agent, expects four years of work at eight dollars daily to complete allotments. The North Western track to Philip is finished westward, with remaining gap to be filled in about a month. The Milwaukee line from Chamberlain should finish in about two months. Bishop Hare defends publishing petition names on divorce law referendum and other measures, arguing signers acted conscientiously and should not be censured. The new divorce law is seen by some as too lenient, while others disagree and resist pressure to change opinions.

Lumber Price Defense by Red River Chief Draws Skepticism

He denies a price fixing cartel, cites uniform grades, and claims a supply shortage boosts prices, while a government report shows per capita lumber output rising. His cost breakdown implies high manufacturing costs, contrasting with cheaper stumpage abroad, casting doubt on the price justification.
