l have no doubt but that this
try excels as a grazing or ranching
country, because they have such rich
grass, having an abundance OF rain to
keep 1t fresh. They also have plenty
or water streams, and as a rule water
may be reached at a depth of from 20
TO 40 feet. From this you can see
there can be plenty of hay mown for
winter feeding, and | nave a re-

inquiring about the expense OF raising

not consider it would cost any more

On making inquiries regarding the
winters in this country, | learned that
the people never suffer from the cold,

Duse's Early Start.

In his recently published biography
Of Eleonora Duse, Luigi Rasi notes
that although she began her theatrical
career at the age of 4, she was not n
child prodigy and did not attract at
tentlon as a promising actress till
she was 20. He'd father was an obscure
actor, and the family was so poor that
once. when Eleonora'smother was ly-
ing in a hospital, the hungry child
used to go there daily to eat the food
which her mother was too i'll to take
herself.

To My Many Friends am pleased
to make a report to you of the pleasant
yisit my wife and i had in Western
Canada.
We visited the territories of AL
berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan,
and found them far surprising our i'm
agination, but little did l expect to
find such rich, loamy soil, so much
of it, and SO uniform in its level prai-
RE lay. l do think the soil of Canada
as a rule equals if not eXcels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana.
These lands are immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot

as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil.
Western Canada, from my point of
view, offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days,
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea-
son is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point of getting this land ready for
the pillow, | must say that l never saw
such a vast extent, practically all
ready so all that one has to do is to
hitch up the pillow and go to work.
This is not the case with all the
Canadian land, howeve~; some of it
has quite a bit of timber, much of it
may be called brush land, and some of
it has lovely forest groves, dotted here

YOUNG CALLS A CAUCUS
QUESTION OF EARLY AD-
JOURNMEENT
JACOBSON LIKELY TO OPPOSE IT
Lac Qui ParIe Member Fears for
Fate of His Gross Earnings
Tax Bill IL Session Is
Cut Short.

Tomorrow night at O'Clock the Re-
publican members of the legislature will
caucus in room 16, at the capitol. on the
proposition of adjourning the session
April &. The caucus is called at the in
stances of Senator Young and it will no
doubt decide the attitude Of the Repub-
hcans in this matter.
Early in the session Mr.. Jacobson
save notice that he would demand a
short term, but circumstances alter
cases, and the member from Lac Oui
Earle may now be found among those
Who will oppose the short session pIan
The TACT is, Jacobson only few davs
ago, introduced his gross earnings tax
Oil and this. he says, must be fought
out this session If nothing ~else is ac-
eomplished and everybody knows that
such war cannot be fought in a limit
ed space Of time. Those who insist upon
adjournment on April hold out the argu-
ment that this would not necessarily
afrect Mr. JacobSoE's bill in the least.
as the campaign material sought to be
made by this measure will not be needed
until the next election anyway and the
bill could be settled at the adjourned
meeting next year
This arrangement, it is said, does not
meet the approval Of the author of the
bill. Mr.. Jacobson was absent from tho
house yesterday on secret mission and
could not be interviewed upon this ques-.
ton, but prominent Republican who
expressed his opinion, believes that Mr.
jacobson will protest strongly against
committing his bill to the danger of not
being dealt with. The adjournment will
be taken for the specific purpose of act
ing on the report of the state tax COM
mission next year and it is feared that
there will not be sufficient time in which
to attend to both matters at this adj
Journed special session. On this basis,
1t is held that Mr.. jacobson. who was
the original promoter of the short SEES
sion idea, will become it's arch enemy.
1t IS impossible to tell what the out
come of Monday nights caucus will be
as half the members are undetermined
and there is plenty of room for LOBBY
ing on both sides of the question Some
Of the members believe the plan to have
an early adjournment is merely scheme
TO defeat the gross earnings bill and If
they can satisfy themselves that such
Is actually the case they Will fight the
move to the finish. 1t is urged by the
friends of the Jacobson bill that this
gross earnings proposition must be
settled one way or the other at this
session.
There is popular sentiment that the
gross earnings bill will not pass the
legislature or at least that it will never
get through the senate. The same men
who caused its defeat two years ago. are
said to be lined up just as ardently
against it this time. They will resort 10
the strategic plea that the tax commits
sion will be able to determine the
amount of gross earnings tax a rail-
road should pay and thus dodge the
real issue.

HELENA. Mont, March 2-The lower
house of the Montana legislature came
near the riot point last evening at one
Of the most exciting sessions in the
states history. For five hours the house
was a bear garden. The cause of the

fought by F. Augustus Heinze, the MN

advocated by the Amalgamated Copper

latter were in a majority, but the opposi-
ton prevented consideration on the meas
ure by resorting to various expedients
to delay.
