Yes, the recent rains have been gem
eral in our section. They will do won
deds for our wheat, although I'm
afraid well not get more than half a
crop. But the fax crop will probably
be saved and that, as we'll as the gem
eral prosperity or our farmers and the
improved price of wheat, will diminish
the loss from the drouth. Flax is high
this year, and our people have put in
an unusually large acreage. I might
say, too, that a deficient wheat crop
doesn't mean as much loss now com
paratively as it meant few years ago.
Diversified farming has SO increased
with us that wheat is no longer every
thing with everybody. :.s
We're enjoying a big year for inn
migration. It's been a long, long time
since we've welcomed so many settlers.
They have gone into the western, CEN
trail and southern parts of the state,
because the eastern section is pretty
we'll filed UP. They have. come from
the older states, chiefly from the east,
and especially from Iowa. It's better
immigration, therefore, than if it came
from Europe and had yet to be Amer
icanized. z s 5 III 5.. .s /

PLANS FOR REAPPORTIONMENT.
A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS ON THE SUBJECT
TO BE HELD THIS WEEK
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


IBx TELEGRAPH TO rHr rR1suSEI
Washington, Dec. 10.-A caucus OF Republican
members OF the House will be held before the
end OF this week TO discuss the reapportion-
ment OF representation under the Twelfth Census.
This method of procedure has been adopted
with the view OF expediting legislation on this
subject and in the expectation OF disposing Of
the matter before the holiday recess. Instead
Of the Census Committee Of which Mr. Hopkins.
Of Illinois. is chairman, attempting 70 draw up
satisfactory bill after the tedious process Of
member-to-member canvass. which in the last
week has proved futile unless the total number
Of seats on the floor is to be increased until no
State would have 10 lose member out Of its
present quota, it is proposed that the Republi-
can delegations Of each State shall have an op-
portunity to favor or oppose the various ratios
before one is finally adopted for Incorporation
in the bill to be drawn by the Census Commit
tee By this means. it is thought, agree
ment will be more quickly reached.
at every census there has been great difficulty
in satisfying all interests in The House, and no
efforts have been spared TO avoid depriving any
State Of it's existing representation. II is the
aim to discover from the population returns
and to adopt ratio which will cause as few
readjustments Of delegations as is feasible with
out actual injustice The task this year Is ex-
tremely puZZling and almost hopeless OF salts
factory solution on account Of the unequal
growth in many States in the last decade. The
census experts have thus far found no ratio that
will give desired results in several important
delegations. and for that reason it is deemed
advisable to resort to a caucus TO secure IN
advance the opinions Of all delegations before
adopting a ratio. At the last census, fortunate
ly, ratio was found. after good deal OF ex-
pertinent, which deprived no State OF seat
but that is thought to be out of the question at
this time
1t is possible that the Crumpacker bill for cut
ting down the representation of several Southern
States will come before the caucus and receive
its final quietus.

A special meeting Of the Board OF Directors OF
the Merchants Association was held in its rooms
yesterday afternoon at which G. L Duval, one OF

interviews which they had with the President and
Congressman the Ship Subsidy bill Resolu-
tions cordemning the Ship Subsidy bill now pend
ing before Congress and favoring bill giving a
subsidy 10 ships of American construction only and
opposed to the admission Of foreign tonnage were
passed.
A letter written 70 W R Corwine by G. L. Du-
val which gives at length reasons why the ship
ping and commercial interests should be enrolled
against the Ship Subsidy bill pending before
Congress has been issued.
The chief objection TO the bill" says Mr.. Duval.
'as reported 10 the houses Of Congress is the ad-
mission OF foreign tonnage TO American registry
and half subsidy. The committee cannot urge such
admission a necessary inducement toward build
ing an equivalent amount OF American tonnage.
because they show that the subsidy accruing 10
amer American tonnage per Sc is adequate, and If the
added tnducement were necessary then the extent
OF American tonnage TO be built would be limited.

against requirements Of some 4.0000 900 tons"
