Mr.. Nerd said day there was no

was to be the Minneapolis of Canada as
far as flour milling is concerned In the
first place the falls of the Rainy are the
nearest natural power to the great wheat

nearest water power to the twin cities.

Ogilvie and Queawaton flour has been
milled in eastern Canada to the detriment
of the reputation Of Manitoba wheat in
England where this flour is popular. The
Ontario people had the mabit Of mixing
the wheat and making an inferior grade

purity and ease in shipment by grinding
their wheat at Fort Francis. The two
new roads, the Minnesota & International
and the Duluth, Virginia & Rainy River
will give an impetus to the development
of the country. z

A FEELING FOR TELLER
Republicans Who Have "Come
Back May Not Desert
Him Now. 81
New York Sun Special Servica.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Teller is
back from Colorado. He says he is going
to be re- elected in spite of the republican
threat to throw out the sixteen demo
cratic members ELECT Of the lower house
OF the legislature from Arapahoe county
The senator does not believe this threat
will be fulfilled. because the republicans
are divided in their adherence and proba-
bly, will find it impossible to get together
on a single candidate. Wolcott who has
returned to the state after long absence.
has some followers, but not enough to Sc
cure the caucus nomination. He is the
real disturber Of the situation. II he were
out Of the way it might not be impossible
for the other candidates to adjust their
differences and agree on who shall receiys
the caucus nomination.
Aside from this, however, there is a
strong feeling among many republicans in
Colorado that Senator Teller should not
be sacrificed by a process of eliminatin..
his supporters in the house. Thousand
of republicans who Joined Teller in the
bolt from the republican party in 1896 and
who have returned to their first al
legiance have kindly feeling for the
senator. A great many of them believe
that they were instrumental in causing
him to get out Of the Republican partv
and that it would be cowardly and unfa "
on their part to desert him in his present
emergency. This sort of feeling NAV

A LONG SEASON OF TALK
The Statehood Campaign to Begin

ing, Washington.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The majority of
the senate committee on territories has
about completed its plan of sta tehood
campaign. Speechmaking will begin next
Monday and continue uninterruptedly UNI
til next Saturday. when congress will adj
journ for. the. holidays to reconvene on
jan. 5. One of the earliest speeches
will be Senator Nelson's. He has been
asked by Senator Beverage of the COM
mittee to prepare the leading legal argu-
ment on the substitute. bill providing for
the admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one one state. Senator Mel
son has been busy looking up old rec
ords and other data He has classified
all the early and late treaties with the
Indians of Indian Territory, compiled all
the acts of congress bearing on that ter
ritory, and has put together great mass
of legal information which is expected to
strengthen the position of the substitute
BILL - "h. "ail0N "a
1T is too early to say what the result
will be- said Mr.. Nelson, to-day, but
we feel hopeful, and are satisfied we have
the legal argument on our side. If there
are members of; thes senate who are open
to conviction, I believe sthe arguments in
favor of the substitute bill will influence
them" e." @~orf
. Senators Lodge, Hale, Dillingham; and
Beverage will also defend the substitute
bill. The debate will run ualong for sew
eral weeks after the holidays, probably,
by which time the appropriation bills will
begin to press for consideration. These
latter will side-track the territory bills
and there is a bare possibility that the
short session will adjourn without action.
Friends of the substitute bill are strong
enough to prevent vote, and this may
be their program, provided it appears that
Senator Quay has a majority in favor of
the omnibus BILL Senator Nelson declines
to discuss this phase of the question. He
did say, however, that as yet nothing had
been said to suggest there would be a con-
ference of the republican senators on the
bill o..
The substitute bill has the long end of
the pole Not only is it supported by the
president, but by every leading republican
IN the senate save Mr.. Quay. who has
arrayed behind him some Of the weaker
republican members from the western
states and the democrats. In strategic
force and fighting ability, the substitute
bill greatly outranks the omnibus bill.

Fergus, Falls, Minn.,Dec. .13.-The Fer
gus Falls, high school debating team met
and vanquished the Ada high. school
team in fine forensic contest at Ada
last night and citizens here are confident
that the young men who represent this
city are on the high way to state cham
pionship which they came SO near win
ming a year ago. The debate took place
early in the evening and aroused gen.
eral interest. The largest hall in the
village was crowded to the doors and
the audience enjoyed and appreciated the
good points made on both sides.
|; The question was Resolved That
United States Senators Should Be
Chosen by Direct Vote Of the People"
and, Fergus Falls took the affirmative.
Charles Bayley opened for Fergus Falls
and Miss Hattie Hetland for Ada. Miss
Hetland was one of the most pleasing
and fluent speakers that the team has
ever encountered her education and elo
cutionary style being well nigh perfect.
and at the close of her address the out
come looked doubtful. Caleb Hogan, the
second of the Fergus Falls speakers,
followed with what was probably the
most spirited and vigorous address OF
the evening, but Hans Hanson, the third
speaker for Fergus, Falls, delivered what
was probably a more effective address
because more cool, keen and direct.
Charles J. Allen, Jr. and Theodore Tor
gerSOn were the second and third speak
ers on the Ada side and both presented
we'll balanced and comprehensive lines
of arguments. piss -
The Ada team took the ground that it
was unwise to tamper with document
So n1atchless as the United States con-
stitution; that the election Of sena tors
by direct vote would mean their selection
by - irresponsible political conventions
that responsible body like a legisla-
ture would be more liable to make a wise
choice and that there was no pressing
demand for a change.
The Fergus Falls team had no difficulty
in refuting several of these arguments
particularly, the claim that there was nc
demand for a change in the present sys-
tenn. Ada appeared to good advantage in
the opening arguments, but, as in al
of last years contests, the Fergus Falls
team made it's best showing in rebuttal
The training received in the literary So
cieties here was shown when it came tc
''give. and take
The audience was entirely impartial
applauding the Fergus Falls boys gener-
ously as the home team and the best OF
feeling prevailed throughout the contest
Mr.. Fisher Of Crookston, Mr.. Angus OF
Warren, and Mr.. Edwards of. Fertile
acted as judges and gave Fergus Falls
the decision by unanimous vote.
Before the decision was announced
superintendent vaDdyke of this city
made a brief address, expressing the hope
that the winners would receive the good
wishes and assistance of the losers
with view, to securing the state cham
