INDICATES TS FINAL ADOPTION Vote In House to Take Up Canadian Reciprocity—Northwest Is Op- posed. STEENERSON AGAINST BILL Democrats Vote Almost Solidly for Action On the Matter At the Present Time. . . / ‘Washington, Feb. 14.—By a vote of 195 to 121 the house decided to begin immediate consideration of the McCall bill to ratify the reciprocity agreement | On the motion that the house should | proceed to the consideration of the | measure the members from the North- | west voted as follows Against—Messrs. Hammond, Davis, Lindbergh, Miller, Steenerson and Vol- stead of Minnesota, Burke and Martin of South Dakota and Hanna of North Dakota. All the IJowa members es- cept Representative Walter I. Smith. For—Messrs. Nye, Stevens and Taw- ney of Minnesota. The motion to consider the agree- | ment was made by Representative Bamuel W. McCall of Massachusetts. Under the rules the day was set apart for the consideration of District of Columbia business. Representative Clarence B. Miller of Duluth objected Miller Explains His Vote. “I didn't vote against reciprocity, but for the District of Columbia day,” said Mr. Miller. “The District has been denied its day for a long time. I shall vote for the reciprocity bill. I know of many others who voted as I did and for the same reason.” Representative Smith, who is op- posed to the Canadian agreement, voted for its consideration on the ground that the administration was entitled to an early hearing. o ‘While the vote to displace the regu- lar order cn the house calendar and take up reciproeity canmnot be accepted as an exact indication of the final vote on the bill it is regarded as being ap- proximately so. The vote against tak- ing up the measure came almost wholly from the Republican side. The Democrats voted almost solidly for immediate consideration. Some of the Republicans who voted against displacing the regular order are not expected to place themselves on rec- ord against reciprocity at a final vote. Representative S. W. McCall of Massachusetts handled the time for debate in favor of the bill. Analysis of the Vote. The voting on the motion to take up the reciprocity measure was followed with the keenest interest. On a yea and nay vote there are always two calls through the alphabetical list. At the end of the first call it was seen that the reciprocity advocates ware winning & comparatively easy victory. The vote then was ayes 178, noes 110. At the end of the second call, the vote was announced as 195 to 121. This was later changed to 196 to 121 to oorrect a clerical error. An analysis of the vote to take up the McCall bill showed this result: For—Republicans, €0; Democrats, 136; total, 196. Against—Republicans, 101; Demo- crats, 20; total, 121. ‘The Republican insurgents’ attitude teward reciprocity was shown by the fact that fourteen voted against com- wideration and enly six for it. SENATE IS LIKELY TO YIELD Publie Opinion and Fear of Democrats Affect Elder Statesmen. ‘Washington, Feb. 14.—Pressure of public opinion from the country at large is beginning to show its effect upon congress in behalf of President Taft’s Canadian reciprocity policy. It begins to iook as if the senate will be whipped into line for the legislation and will be forced to accept it, despite the feeling of hostility among the old guard and the standpatters. The standpatters find themselves on | the horns of a dilemma. They are threatened with a greater measure of | tariff reduction in the long run if they do not accept this Canadian pact now. President Taft has stated repeatedly that if the senate by dilatory tactics should prevent action on reciprocity he will call an extra session of con- gress early in March. It is well known that in such event the Democrats will not content them- selves with acting upon reciprocity alone but will also take up one of the | schedules of the tariff law, the woolen | schedule probably, and revise it, tack- ing the revision onto the reciprocity bill.

O'BRIEN MAY SUCCEED JUSTICEJAGGARD Minneapolis last year, said: St. Paul, Feb. 14.—(Daily Pio- Wire Service.)—Ed- mond A. Jaggard, justice of the Min- nesota state supreme court dropped dead in Bermuda yesterday after- noon, where the judge and Mrs. Jag- neer Special gard were the guests of her sister. Judge Jaggard had gone to Bermuda | to attend to the losing of his eye sight. Governor Eberhart heard the news as he was about to board the train for Mankato, and said: “This news comes to me as a great shock. Justice Jaggard was a gentleman of the highest type and jurist of great| ability. His loss to the state of Min- | nesota connot be over estimated.” The Pioneer learns upon good au- thority that Govérnor Eberhart will appoint Thomas O'Brien to succeed Jaggard. Mr. O'Brien was up until January amember of the state su- preme court, he being appointed by the late Governor Johnson, but was defeated for re-election at the gener- al election last fall.

About the same time the Batchelder Lumber company, Troen- dle Tie & Cedar company, and Hotel que; began excavating. The hotel is a large two story buflding. About| Nov. 1 the postoffice was built, also the building occupied by the Remer Land company. A livery barn and| blacksmith shop were built soon af-| ter. While this was being done the Soo people employed about twenty- five carpenters building one of the finest stations on the line and also two station houses. Within the last week the First State Bank of Remer was started and the Remer Lumber company is putting in a stock. ‘Owing to the fact that over 1,500 persons are in or near Remer it is| evident that these business places are sure of success. The land around Remer cannot be excelled for farm- ing and dairying purposes. The set- ‘tlers are also able to get enough tim- ber for a full set of buildings while clearing. Remer will become the main town on the Soo Line between Duluth and Bemidji. The Reishus-Remer Land company is preparing to plat forty acres into acre lots.
