Inc country we a u fine chance to
see the difference in the out growing
crops, and the hay and grain stacks, as
they came to view, within a few hours
OF each other.a In Illinois they were
much the same as in Iowa, but in
Indiana the yield was not as heavy.
In Ohio and Pennsylvania the fields
were smaller, but better kept, the land
! n those states being too valuable to
allow a growth of weeds. The houses
and barns are larger. and well built,
particularly the barns. The next
morning as we passed through a portion
OF Maryland and saw the little bundles
OF corn, it would take four of them TO
make an Iowa bundle. Some of it was
husked, and lying on the hill side to
cure. The ears were but a trifle larger
than Iowa pop corn. The first Thought
was on what do these people live, then
remembered they are fed by the grain
producing parts of our country, and
they in turn give us the products Of
their factories and mills. Corn and
wheat, cattle and hogs are but a part
OF what our great country needs. And

happy people, who live "Where the

Andenarde, a jewel of pure Flemish
art; Sweden will have a pavilion in

The fact that France is so anxious
to make success of it's exposition is
the best guarantee that there will be no

N issued N Dc Northwest than The
\ souvenir of Great Falls recently
issued by the Great Falls Trib-
une. The cover is decorated with a
characteristic sketch by Russell the
cowboy artist, entitled Discovery of
the great falls of the Missouri by Lew
is and Clarke in 1906" The book is de-
voted to a historic scenic and biograph-
ical account of Great Fails and Cas-
cade county and it's prominent people.
On the front page is a splendid portrait
of Paris Gibson, the founder of Great
Falls. Every page is illustrated and
the illustrations are beautiful and very
neatly executed. The text is graphic
ally written, describing the founding
and growth Of Great Falls, it's public
buildings, churches, schools, library,
opera house, societies, the extent of the
sheep and wool industry, cattle indus
try, agriculture, water power, shelters,
iron works, water works, electric light
and power, breweries, mills, railroads,
hospitals and principal stores and en-
terprises. Sand Couee, Neihart, Belt
and other towns of Cascade county are
also well described and illustrated. At
the close ofSFthe book two pages are
devoted to the Tribune and to pictures
Of the members of its staff who are
warmly congratulated on, their success
in issuing SO superb production.
In looking over this souvenir of Great
Falls one cannot but be most strongly
impressed with the marvellous growth
of the city and the wonderful extent
of its resources. The city has been for
tunate in it's founders. For instead of
being cramped and crooked like so
many cities that have been left to grow
as they pleased, Great Falls has broad
streets and ample parks, indicating the
confidence which the founders had in
it's future. The first building was erect
ed in 1883 and now Great Falls has a
population of $4,000 progressive people.
The largest available water power in
the United States, an abundance of coal,
the most economical point for the re-
duction of copper in the world, the
largest wool shipping point in the
Northwest, these are some of the things
which insure the continued prosperity
of Great Falls. 1t is one of the best
types of progressive Western city,
and the souvenir is worthy of the city.

EW perhaps will recall that this
country grappled with the cues
ton of expansion a quarter of
century ago. 1t was during Grants
first administration. Within three
months of his Inauguration a proposi
ton came from the Dominican repub-
lie to be united to this country. Presi-
dent Grant dispatched General O. r.
Babcock as a commissioner to the
island and his mission resulted in a
treaty for the annexation of the repub-
lie of Dominica on November 90 1869.
The president reported his action to
the senate refused to ratify the treaty.
BY vote of % to 2S it was rejected on
June 80, 1870.
Grant was much disappointed, but he
renewed his recommendation the next
December in message to congress A
commission consisting of Benjamin F.
Wade of Ohio, Andrew D. White of
New York and Samuel G.. Howe of
Massachusetts, was appointed to visit
the island and inquire into the advisa-
bility Of anneXing the republic. The
commission reported favorably, but
again the senate refused to approve.
Grant was strongly in favor of the
annexation and in his last message to
congress, in December, 1876. he again

~ ed yesterday that unless the
senate passes the army reorgan-
ization bill in its present form he will
call an extra session of congress- 1t is
probable that the extra session will be
held, for the army bill contains some
very bad features and there is strong
opposition to 1t. It is sof course neces-
!, sary that the army, be increased, but it
is not necessary that the army be made
political machine. is not necessary
that mere boys who have friends close
to Alger should be appointed over gray
haired veterans; The army Should be
increased, but promotions should be
made as reward for military service
and not to pay political debts. The men
who have spent their lives in the army
should be advanced in regular order.
The present bill permits that civilians
may be given positions above the old
soldiers fs
The attorney general has given the
opinion that as soon as Spain ratifies
the peace treaty all the volunteers will
be entitled ito discharge and also all
those regulars who enlisted only for the
war That would reduce the army to
about 10000. 1t now numbers $4,000. 1t
is provided in the. bill that it may
number 100, 900
Instead of relieving the bill of its cb-
jectionable features the presla emit is de-
,dermined that it must be passed in its
present form This is not likely to be
done and hence an extra session is very
probable.
