served how much better land that has
been prepared and ls Ia good manurlal

summer thoughts than other land Of

Il was found that IS per cent Of the
total draft Il used Tor cutting the fur
row. % per cent In overcoming the
friction Of the sole and land slide. and
but twelve pr cent In turning the fur

found that IS per cent was expended
In cutting the furrow. IS per cent In

izing is done altogether by the mold

the importance Of having the mold

The fishing party that went to Isle

Valerie have been sounding the praises
OF the good Canadian people and their
fishing grounds ever since they returned.
The reporter was misiniormed when he
stated that the party had good time,
but caught no fish" as they brought
home some sixty pounds Of fine trout,
although they only had short time to
fish.
The party was composed OF Capt. L.

Alex Horton, James Mcclure, Nike

Mat b. WertiD, John Yertin. George
Hall and W. Chapman, They stopped at

Port Arthur people showed their hospi.

The members OF the party were royalty

ILLINOIS ENOEAvORERS LED.

Sent the Biggest Delegation to the San
Francisco Convention.
San Francisco. July 4.-During a fit
is possible to state with a close ap-
proach to exactitude the number of
delegates who attended the Christian
Endeavor convention. The registration
committee has made report by states
and counties. The total number of peo-
pie from other states, territories and
foreign countries in attendance is II, 224
From California the registration is 49,
694, making a total of 23,91S. From
these figures it will be seen that the
actual attendance upon the convention
is surprisingly close TO the advance esti-
mates that were made.
Outside of California the biggest del
egation was from Illinois, that state
sending 1883; Iowa being next, Penn
sylvania third. followed by Ohio, New
York, Missouri and Massachusetts, in
the order named. 1t is interesting to
note that the women from all places
outside of the state were almost twice
as numerous as the men, the figures be-
ing: Women, 7,477; men, 3,747. The
delegates were entertained at Oakland
Tuesday, the principal feature of the
programme being lunch on the shore
of Lake Merritt.
