Extracts from the Koochiching
Border Budget Of Aug. II, 1902:

Ion Wednesday Of last week Messrs.
Kockwood, Backus, Trumer, Cook, McCrca
and Nutter, representing the Koochiching
Iownsite Company, arrived at this place
and spent some time looking over their in
terests here.
Mr.. lockwood and associates have la.
bored diligently during the past seven or
eight years to interest people of means in
the development of the water power at this
place and have at last succeeded, the only
OBSTACLE in the way now being the consent
OF the Ontario government to allow them to
develop the power.
1t is estimated that upwards of 81, 500, 900
will be expended on the water power within
the next two years, in building a dam, pulp
and paper mills md saw mills; in fact it is
stated that one of the largest and best equip
ped saw mills in Minnesota will be built at
Koochiching.
Mr.. Backus is a prominent lumberman
of Minneapolis. He stated that between five
and six million dollars would be expended
in building the railroad, developing the wa
ter power and building mills at this place
and Fort Frances.
Everything at present goes to show that
something is going to be done at once and
comes as good news to many who have spent
the past seven or eight years here, none of
them, however, wavering the least in their
opinion that Koochiching would one day be,
what has long been %prophesied, one of the
largest manufacturing centers in Minnesota"

Drought Prevails in Georgia,
Though Broken in Texas


Washington, July 1.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions says:
The northern portion of the country
east of the Rocky Mountains have ex-
perienced another decidedly cool week.
with generally abundant rainfall. IN
the Southern States the week aver
aged warm, with phenomenally heavy
rains, where they were greatly need
ed, over large part of Texas and
portions of Northern Louisiana and
Southern Arkansas.
Cotton continues to suffer for rain
in the south central portion of the
cotton belt, and drought conditions
have rapidly developed over the
greater part of Georgia, where the
crop is in less favorable condition than
in the previous week. Over the north
efn portion of the central and eastern
districts more favorable conditions ex-
lists. although lice are extensively
represented throughout central and
eastern portions. The feature of the
week was the abundant fainfall over
the greater part of the drought region
of Texas in which the condition of
cotton has been greatly improved
Drought, however, continues in ex-
IRENE Northwestern and Southwestern
Texas
The weather conditions of the week
have been generally favorable for the
tobacco crop, which, however, has not
made rapid growth in the Middle At
lantic States as a result of low tenn
perature.

MLEAN TO OHIO DEMOCRATS.

"hlo Editor Gave Sound Advice to
Big Gathering at Clam Bake Neor
Columbus.
columbus, O., July WEATHER con-
dltions caused somewhat of a damper
upon the Ohio Democratic clam bake
given at Beulah Park, Grove CITY I'M
der the auspices of the Young Mems
Democratic Club to-day. Still there
was large attendance and Demo-
cratic leaders from over the state were
present and made addresses.
one of the main features of the dav
was the reading of a letter from John
X. Mclean, former Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Ohio. The let
ter says:
i trust the proceedings will be of a
character to stimulate the party to
unite on sound doctrines, to employ
all legitimate forces and to WORK
earnestly and intelligently for tri-
umph which may glorify every true
Democrat in the land. The enduring
principles of Democracy are those
upon which we must rely. No exoe-
dent or irregular inventions are re-
CURED. If there ever was a time for
apologies for Democratic existence or
for trifling with the cardinal faith, or
for doubtful alliances, the present is
certainly not that time
Tom johnson on Taxation.
Addresses were delivered by Mayor
Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, and
others.
Replying to Mr.. McLean's reference
to "expedients and irregular inven-
lions, Mayor Johnson said:
THE taxation issue. for which l
stand is older than the party itself.
To deal with live questions as they
arise always on the side of the plain
people, and always in opposition to
privilege and advantage is the mission
of Democracy. That mission to-day is
to correct the unequal system of tax
alton, by which the farmers and home
owners of this state are paying more
than their share while the railroad cor
poratiCn and the other quasi-public
corporations are paying less than their
share. The mission of the Democracy
to-day is to break up the unholy alli-
ance between a few Republican leaders
and the privileged corporations by
which they are shifting the burdens
from wealth to poverty, from privilege
to enterprise: from alien owners of
valuable privileges in this state to peo-
pie owning corporations engaged in
competitive business"

WEST WANTS WARM WEATHER.
Have Had Too Much Rain and
weather Too Cool for Crops.

Chicago, July Reports received
here to-day from the grain states most
affected by the heavy June rains in
dictate that the crop situation is not so
discouraging as it has been painted in
many quarters. This was reflected in
the grain pits to-day, for while the
markets were firm at the opening and
for some time following, the excitement
of yesterday seemed to have subsidized
and there was a disposition to place
much faith in the restorative effects of
warmer weather, which was reported
in some sections, and was believed to
be on the way in other places. Ohio,
Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
oklahoma and Indian Territory crops
were said to be in a generally favora-
Bile condition. Damage, generally, it
was said, would be largely repaired by
warm weather in July The lowlands
of Illinois appear to have been the
worst sufferers, while Iowa is said to
have stood the weather with remarka-

CABINET DISCUSSED CANAL.
THE MATTER TO BE GOTTEN IN
SHAPE At ONCE.

Question of Pa nRnin's Title Referred
to Mr.. Root for investigation.
France Believed TO BE willing to
Help Us Ont and Action by Cham
Der of Deputies May Be Sought.
Treaty to lie Negotiated With CO.
Iumbia and "a Canal Commission
Appointed.
Washington, July 1.-The cabinet to-
day was engaged in the preparation of
measures to carry out the terms Of the
isthnhan canal act, which has just be-
come a law. Secretary Hay, who re-
/ turned to Washington from his New
Hampshire summer home this morning,
proceeded directly to the temporary
executive mansion. and it was he who
presented the matter to the attention
Of the cabinet
Important action is to be taken very
soon in three separate matters The
effort must be made in the first place
to determine the suficiency of the
title that can be conveyed to the Unit
ed States by the Panama Canal Com
pany. Beside that treaty must be
negotiated with Columbia, comforting
the necessary rights, and, lastly, a
technical commission must be appoint
ed to carry on the actual work of con-
struction. ~
The determination having been
reached to proceed first With the ques-
ton Of title it was decided to refer that
subject to the Attorney General, 1t be-
ing purely legal in character. Recourse
may be had to the French courts to
secure from some high tribunal a sat
isfactory affirmation of the sufficiency
of title
The other course is to Sc
cure from the French govern
ment directly through the Cham
Der of Deputies in all probability,
some legislative declaration which shall
have the force of law, and effectually
affirm the legality of the acquisition Of
the canal property by the United
States.
There is some reason to believe that
while no formal assurances have pass
ed, the French government has man
aged TO let IL be known to the Pres
ident that it is willing to do everything
that is necessary to quiet this ques-
ton Of title.

Washington, July 1.-The census bu-

for the census year 1900, showing a
capital of 1922, 517,O72 invested in the

A feature of the report is an extend

Almost the entire chapter on news
gathering organizations is devoted to
a history and detailed description of
the work of the Associated Press,

far in the lead of the newsgathering
organizations of the United States. The
report says that the Associated Press

standing That Means Ten Per Cent.
Advance.
Charlotte. N. c.. July IA special
to the Observer from Greensboro, N.
c., says that about thirty-five chair
manufacturers and jobbers held
meeting there yesterday, and until
late hour last night. In the party were
representatives of the trade from
Philadelphia, Chicago, St Louis, Bos-
ton, New York, Baltimore, Richmond,
Pittsburg and other Northern cities,
while Southern interests were repre-
scented by manufacturers. from various
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee and Georgia factories.
The leading spirit in the meeting
was a prominent New York man, who
declares that the session was for
the purpose of fixing a basis for
mutual protection, and not to
form combine. While nothing
was given out as to the action
taken, it is known that the meeting was
harmonious throughout and an agree
ment as to future conduct was reached,
which it is said will be of great bene-
fit to the manufacturers and jobbers,
without hurting the retail trade. At
the same time it is not denied that an
advance of 10 per cent. in furniture
will be made This, however, was not
a result of this conference. 1t seems
that the backbone of the proposition to
form a trust was broken by the fail
ure of the High Point, N. C., manu-
facturers to enter the combine. 1t is
limited, however, that the pool will be
arranged.
