Futnre OF the State.
The pamphlet concludes with the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
TO show what great future and
What possibilities the agriculture of
Minnesota has, we need only cite the
estimate of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, namely, that of
every 1000 acres of land in our state
only siXty-One acres are under cultiva-
ton in wheat, fourteen acres in corn
and thirty acres in oats. The report of
the commissioner of the United States
general land Office shows that the area
OF land in Minnesota comprises So, 49,,
$40 acres; that 2,767,97l acres of sur
veyed public land remain undisposed
of. and that 100000 acres remain
uisurveyed. The different railroad
companies still hold in Minnesota 3,000,-
600 acres of surveyed but unimproved
land, and several million acres of land
yet unimproved are held by private
parties. 1t is true that part of the land
Is pine forest, yet one can see from
these few figures that Minnesota con-
talns undeveioped agricultural resources
OF very great extent and value. My
idea is that if our state would take pains
to annually obtain and ditfuSe informa-
ton showing the method practlced by
our successful and money-making farm
ers, it would not only contribute very
much to the increased productiyene5s Of
the 100000 acres now under Guilt
Walton, but would help to draw immi-
grants of skill and capital from the
Older states to occupy and develope our
uncultivated lands. do not intend to
disDarage the means that are being used
to promote our agriculture. Any one
acquainted with the excellent agri-
cultural reports which the states of
Maine, Vermont. Connecticut and Mas
sachusetts and some other states have
for many years issued Massachusetts
has issued snch reports for forty years.,
and watched the progress of agriculture
in those states. knows that Minnesota
is much behind in such matters. / am
confident if the plan L suggest were
carried into effect it would add much to
the wealth and prosperity of the state"

CANADIAN TARIFF.
No Reason for CoDGratulation
Over Results.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 3l.-In lengthy
speech last night, dealing with the
speech from the throne. Hon. Wiljord
Laurier, leader of the opposition, criti+
cised the trade policy of the government
in scathing terms. He saw no reason
for congratulations such as expressed
by the government supporters that Can
oda was developing her domestic trade
by excluding her neighbOrs by the pres
ent tariff wall. He saw no wisdom in
the policy which made the country live
like an oyster in its she'll He called at
tentiOn to the deplorabe results shown
by the last census; the policy of exclu-
sion from the United States; her ma
tural market, lie said, had had the eff
feet OF driving thousands of Canadians
to foreign shores. He attacked the
government for its Irritating policy on
the canal toll question. In all our
dealings with the United States spirit
Of unfalrneSs has been displayed" In
conclusion he moved an amendment to
the effect that, in the present conditions
OF the country, substantial reductions
should be made in taxation which
pressed so heavily upon the bulk Of
the people, and that the failure
of the government to hold out any
promise of reduction on the oppressive
duties now imposed was matter of
deep regret. Sir John Thompson re-
piled in vigorous speech. He COLI
tended that the exodus from Canada eX-
listed before the Conservatives assumed
the reinS OF office, and claimed that the
policy Of his party was doing much TO
keep Canadians at home. In referring
to reciprocity in wrecking he said the
government Of Canada has always been
willing to extend to the United States
wreckins vessels the right OF passing
through Canadian canals. despite the
fact that the basis of agreement only
stipulated that the agreement referred
TO waters contiguous to the two coun
tries. In conclusion the speaker said the
opposition had no right to infer that
there Wnnld be no tariff changes

CLEVER CAPTURE

OF a Northern Pacific SwindleF.
TACOMA. Wash. Jan. 31.-A clever
capture has resulted in the landing in
the county jail of Bert Widlake, up to
about two months ago chief clerk in the
engineers department of the Northern
Pacific company. He fled on becoming
aware that the company was suspicious
OF HIM. Investigation revealed that
Widlake, who had charge of the pay
rolls of construction gangs, had been
carrying on system or forgeres that
wills probably amount to thousands OF
dollars. Widlake's pan was to make
false assignments; that is, ring III
"straw" men and make out false time
checks, forging fctictious names on
them. He would sell the checks to out
siders, receiving spot cash for them.
When the young clerk became SUSPECT
Gus and skipped out detective named
Brewster was put on the case. The
latter located Widlake near Victoria,
3. c., working as common lab0rer,
and finally captured him at Whatcom.

CANADIAN DEFENSES
Utterly Useless and Fit Only for
Scrap Iron.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 91.-The forth
coming annual report of Maj. Gen. Her
bert, commander of militia. promises to
create a big sensation. He describes
the military defenses of Canada as use
less, and criticises the militia from the
headquarters staff at Ottawa to the
lowest rank. He urges reorganization
of the staff, with executive authority
centralized in his own person, and adds
that until this is done, there will con-
time to exist in Canada conditions of
military impotence for defense of her
territory, side by side with outward
sembance of military body. He like
wise critlcises the arms and equipment
in scathing terms. He says they are
worn out and worthless, and suggests
that many pieces of artillary be sold for
ScraD iron.

Yale athletic Difficulty.

New HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 31.-The
Yale Athletic difficulty will reach
final settlement tomorrow night, when
in mass meeting final vote will be
taken as to whether the captains of the
teams will be supported in their new
rule excluding graduates from their
team. A new feature is introduced into
the controversy by the knowledge that
the captains will all resign if their
scheme is not supported. 1t is gener-
ally thought that the vote will result in
victory for the captains, though the
opposition has been very fierce. The
Yale bail management Will decline the
invitation to send team tothe worlds
fair. The reasons given are that the
strain on the players would be too
great.

County Auditor Burns yesterday fixed
the amounts of the changes made in the
personal property assessments made by
him the day before. The changes are
as follows: Finch, Van Slyck, Young
& Co., raised from S1OS.00O to 100000;
Farwell. OZmun. Kirk & Co., raised from
$4,000 to $4,000; Powers Dry Goods
company, raised from $4,000 10

meier, raised from S10S,000 to $780,
600; Noye5 Bros & Cutler,
raised from $4,000 to 100000; Brown
ing, King q Co., raised from $4,000 to
$4,000; Schuneman 81 Evans, raised
from $50, ZOO to 100000. Mr.. Burns SAID
in reference to the matter that the in
creased valuation is about so per cent
of tie actual valuation of the property.
His view is that those who have already
paid their taxes for this year will not
escape, as the tax may be added to next
years list in addition to the tax of that
year. He even thinks the county can
20 back further and correct the taxes
for past years for reasonable term of
years.
