Germany Willi Begin Dig
criminating Against Us
Germany's schedule of tariff rates
designed to lessen imports from the
United States will be put into effect
promptly at midnight February 28. The
kaiser's government has abandoned all
hope of a provisional arrangement and
announces that there is no alternative
but the enforcement of new and higher
duties.
Germany would like much to defer
action beyond March to give the long
est possible time for American recipro
city sentiment to crystallize, but the
I agreements with seven European coun
tries, which made treaties with Ger
many, oblige the government to refuse
equal concessions to nations that have
declined to enter into treaties.
The Swiss, Italians and others are
chuckling and cheerish happy dreams
of pushing the American competitors
out of the German market.
The exports from this country to
Germany tor the year ending June 30,
1905 were valued at $194,220,472. The
Germans, nest to the British, have
been our best customer#.

Rich Tanana Mining Man
Missing
Seattle, Feb. Is?Percy K. Swan, a
wealthy Tanana miner, is missing.
He left the Northern hotel on January
23 for Portland, en route to his home
in San Francisco, and has not heen seen
or heard from since. When he left
the city he is supposed to have had
something line $50,000 in money, drafts
and checks on bis person.
The chief of police at San Francisco
and the man's mother have started a
systematic search all over the West
Coast (or him, but up to date their ef
forts have been unavailing. It is feared
that Swan has been killed, presumably
in Portland, for his money.
Swan orieiually went to Alaska dur- ?
ing the rush of 18 >7 and opened a store
in Dawson. He then went into the
Tanana. He forsook merchandise then
and went in for mining, and made a
stake that is roughly estimated at $250,
000.
He came out ov<r the ice and snow
this winter and reached the Northern
hotel, S-attle,. January 13 The next day
he wired his mother that he would be
in San Francisco within live days, and
that be had enough money to keep
them as long as they lived.
His biggage went on shrough to San
Francisco, but so far as known, all
track of Swan vanished vhen he walk
ed out of the Northern hotel.
