August Kleindoph. 24W3t Lumbermen Indignant. A meeting of the Lumbermen's Board of Trade, for the three cities and Mus catine, was held in Davenport Wednes day for examination of the tariff issued by the railroads supposed to be in con formity with tne Jaw regulating rail road freight charges passed by the 22nd general assembly of Iowa. investigation snowed tnat, in almost every instance the tariff on luu.ber to given important points in Iowa from Chicago is much less than from -Miss issippi river manufacturing points to the same stations. To say that the manufacturers were astonished, would be putting it mild ly.

They were dismayed. They thought something was wrong with this new tariff, but never dreamed that it was so radically dead against their business. As it is, Chicago can come into Iowa with lumber, and shut Dubu que, Clinton, Davenport, Muscatine, Burlington and Fort Madison lumber out. The companies charge less for hauling lumber across the state of 111. and into Iowa than to the same points, from the Mississippi River.

The mat ter will be pushed to secure at least something like fair treatment. The new tariff is also creating kick ing as nara ate is classed yae same as 20 years ago when it is bow $0 to 80 per cent, chaaper. The freight often amounts to more than the market of the articles themselves. Important to Horse Breeders.
