MINNEAPOLIS, March 23.-The repub-
leans of Minnesota will meet in state con-
vention in this city tomorrow to elect four
delegates at large to the st. Louis conven-
ton. A majority of the delegates are al
ready here and but one name is mentioned.
The delegates from the Duluth district are
instructed for Davis, but they are talking
Mckinley aud 1t is not believed that
c.. X. Davis name will be mentioned to-
morrow. The four delegates at large will
certainly be instructed for Mckinley. The
contest over who shall go to st. Louis is
sharp. from the fact that those most prom
inently mentioned are men who have stood
for Davis and who have only Joined the
Mckinley column when they saw the trend
OF the movement. There is little talk about
the platform. One of the main contests
that is occupying the attention of the dele
gates is between T. b. Walker and II. G..
Evans, both of Minneapolis, for the posi-
tlon of delegate at large. Evans Is exceed

What makes the hard times?
The bankers in the silver country began
to say 1t is the tariff and net The stoppage

same. Even old Cleveland democratic
bankers say the hard times are caused by
the balance Of trade being against no. Cold

When | asked George w. Williams OF the
Chemical National bank in New York what
caused the hard times, he Said, with a. p.
Hepburn of the Third National. that we
had better put the tariff back on WOOL and
woolon goods. We dropped the tariff 70 per
cent and made IL a tariif for deficit. To
get the old revenue we have to ship 20 per
cent more wool, pottery, silk, velvet, cham
payne and cutlery from Europe. III we snip

gold to Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Mon

would have been better Gift would have
been here. We are not politicians on Wall

BOISE CITY. Idaho, March 21.-To the
Editcr of The Bee: Boise City, Idaho, is a
funny Old town. 1t 10 on the Union Pa
clfc 'short line" from Omaha to Portland.
The town Is IN the same latitude as Ports
mouth, N. II. To get to it | went through
deep snow in Illinois. snow drifts in Ne
braska and billiards in Wy-ming. Ten de-
gree5 below zero froze my ears in Cheyenne
and Rawlins.
But what a charge came at Granger!
40 we went north over the divide into
the Snake river basin, l found spring was
upon US. The great Snake river basin is
a companion to the Humboldt basin on the
pouth, 1t is 500 miles long and about fifty
wide. Soil lava-ad. be-gumbo. 1t is rich,
covered with luxurlant sage brush, but has
no water except the great Snake river, which
flows from a little north of Utah to P,rt.and,
Ore.
The Snake river is big enough to water
a continent. and this whole basin Is going
TO be a garden of Eden. Millions of acres
are now planted in orchards. P.ums,
peaches, pears, cherries and grapes are get
ting to be as cheap az Nebraska corn.
After leaving the blizzards of Wyoming
you may Judge of my astoniohment to see
plum treeo in bloss,m in Boise City. Bios
sons In the latitude of Portsmouth, N. H..
l find that this is caused by those Chinook
winds that warm British Columbia and Ore
gon. The temperature In Boise never
goes below zero. This winter-or last win
ter, for 1t Is spring here, and tho gardens
are plmted-the temperature has seldom
gone below 20 degrees ab;ve zero.
This Snake river country is an empire
tributary to the Union Pacific. 1t would
pay the Union Pacific to be paterpal 10 this
new empire. 1t should foster 1t. II It
would give a iye-dollar-a-tu rate on po-
tatoes and fruits, 100, 900 people would flood
this fertile valley In a year. Why not
take ont produce cheap and charge well
for manufactured goods coming back? With
n paternal interest In the great basin the
Union Pacific could bd feeding 1000, 900
people in five years. My policy would be
to bait nettleEs with cheap freights out,
settle up the country-and thup do their
business afterward. Carload Its OF fruit
and potatoes might be carried out OF Idaho
as cheap as al.
What are the politics in Idaho?
The people are sick of politics. They
are mad at their senators. The great crop
is wool. The products Of Idaho sell for
+ $50, 600, 900 a year. Only 1000 900 Of this
IN silver! When | asked a wool man what
nc thought OF the silver legislation in Wash
iagt-n, he said;
THE wool men have been idiots. We
voted for silver senator's. They hal a chance
10 put 10 cents back on wool. What did
they do? They slaughtered us wool men
and went kitefying after visionary free coin
age. They went back on $iS,O0 900 worth
Of Idaho interests and stood up for 1000, 900

After the installation the retiring
Master made few remarks relative
to the progress of the lodge during
the past twelve months and thank
ing the members for their very ma
terial aid in assisting him in all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the order. Past Master Smith was
followed by Past Grand Master A.
B. Clark, Worshipful Master C. P.
Oliver and various other members,
all of whom expressed their appre-
citation of the retiring Masters good
work.
Grand Master Mock then adj
dressed the brothers, and his re-
marks were highly appreciated. He
reminded them that he had assisted
at the organization of Gilmore Lodge
and consequently felt fatherly in
terest in its welfare, and that he
was much gratified at the prof.
cheney of its work and general pros
perity. The Grand Masters brief
address proved to his hearers that
his heart pulsated in the interest OF
the Masonic order and that it con-
tanned a warm spot for Gilmore
Lodge.
About IL o'clock the members re-
paired to Dorsey's hotel, where a
magnificent spread of good things
awaited them, and which was oc-
casioned by the official visit of the
Grand Master. The table fairly
groaned under the weight of dainty
and palatable dishes such as few
other than Mrs. Dorsey are capable
of preparing. After an appropriate
blessing" offered by Chaplain w.
F. Smith the hungry and jovial
assemblage did justice to the dis
play before them.
