p. w. Clements Address.

An audience of about 500 gathered in the
opera house Monday evening to listen to
an address by p. w. Clement of Rut-
land on the leading issues of the present
compaign for governor. Naturally, Mr.
Clement is rather interested in this mat
ter and spoke with much earnestness
He devoted most of his time to the evils
resulting from the present liquor law on
account of the avarice of the officers and
Judges. and the lawlessness induced by
trying to eVade the law. entirely forget
ting that there would be just as much
under the one he favors. He referred
feelinglY to the great success of his ad-
ministration of the mayorship of Rutland
and especially his manner of enforcing the
liquor laws. Mr.. Clement studiously
avoided several points of the question,
evidently fearing to bring them up. His
references to Supt. Morrow of the Anti
Saloon league We're entirely out of taste,
and though Mr.. Morrow is not over pOpu-
lar with the average citizen, grated on the
better class among the audience. The
remark has often been heard on the street
that it seemed rather odd that n man who
offered himself so noticeably for gov
ernor should be unable to make a short
address without being confined so closely
to his manuscript Several selections
were rendered by a negro quartet before
and after the address, which pleased the
audience greatly.

CHANCES SLIPPING AWAY
III. A. Hunter on the Farm Land Sit
uatiOn.

III. A. Hunter on the Farm Land Sit
uatiOn.
In an interview to-day with Journal
representative, II. A. Hunter, manager of
the Missouri Slope and Investment COM
pany, which is interested in North Dakota
lands, had the following to say of the big
rush of homeseekers for western lands:
The farmer is realizing at last that if he
wants cheap farming land, he must act, not
dream. Four years ago the landseeker came
to see but seldom bought. He returned home
loaded UP with literature and few special
descriptions that would do for himself and
friends; later, under the blissful illusion that
the particular lands he had examined could
be had always and at the same prices or even
less, he overlooked the fact that others ma !
taken a bird s-eye view also, and when he
came TO buy was more than surprised to find
that the lands had been sold and resold AMI
Were worth twice the price originally quoted
to him. The genuine landseeker to-day is
waking up to his opportunities.
There's a limit to every. good thing, and
fax, corn and wheat lands all ready for the
plough, which be purchased outright for
the same sum per acre one must pay for
one years rental, can't last. About four
years ago the entire emigration of one OF
our largest railways was turned over to me
to take care of. Much time and money was
spent in doing what one now looks back upon
as missionary work The annual sales OF
lands made by the Hunter Land company at
that time did not exceed 10000 acres, yet our
sales during the last year and half at
wholesale and retail aggregate nearly 100000

WINNIPEG is BUILDING
BUSIEST SEASON EVER KNOWN
American Capital Wanted for Ho-

Winnipeg, Man, April 21.-Donald Nc
Kenty, proprietor Of the Manor house and
one of the most energetic hotel men in
Winnipeg, is at present in Chicago en-
deavorng to interest American capital in
a big hotel enterprise in Winnipeg. Since
the burning of the Manitoba hotel Winni
peg has been without a really first class
hostelry and as a result, the city has
been avoided by tourists and others who
would break the trans influential journey
here. At the time the Manitoba hotel
was burned, it was a paying concern and
McKenty sees an excellent investmen in
a similar establishment. He left here
armed with plans for a building of which
the estimated cost at $250,0O0. Workmen
are busy on the foundations of a massive
structure to be built by Lord Strathcona
at Main street and Broadway which has
hitherto been an eyesore In the city. In

He Let Van SAINT Down Easy

Apropos of Ray w. Jones candidacy for
the nomination for lieutenant governor,
an amusing story is going the rounds as
to the manner in which the former Sc
cured an appointment for a friend soon
after the executives accession to Office.
Mr.. Jones had done some tall hustling
for Governor Van aSnt in the tall timber
and throughout the northern counties.
He had taken the stump for the steam
boat man in earnest and whenever OPP
portunity offered mounted the platform to
say nice things for the gentleman from
Winona. 80" -
Mr.. Jones activity had been solely ''for
the good of the cause and up to the time
of the governors election, he had asked
for no favors. What more natural then
it being we'll understood by the gov
ernor that Jones had put in some good
hard ticks for him-that when the fight
was over. the Minneapolis man should
use his influence to secure preferment for
at least one friend?
The governor had been very busy dis
tributing plums among those who had put
in prior claims and who had been par
ticular to ask for good things before they
pulled off their coats and went to

FIRE AT C0TTAGEWooD
The Hotel There Destroyed in
Fierce Blaze.

r. Fierce Blaze.
The Hotel Cottagewood. at Cottage
wood, Lake Minnetonka. was totally de-
stroyed by fire early last evening, with
all its contents. The fire originated
from q big pile of leaves that en-
ployes Of the hotel were burning near
at hand Famed by the high wind the
fire spread to the hotel, and it burned
with such rapidity that there was no time
to save any of the contents. Had it not
been for the prompt work of volunteer
fire brigade under the direction of Fred
erick Fayram, the fire would have swept
the lake front clear. Everything was dry
and small spark would start blaze
anywhere. Buckets and wet rugs were
used to good advantage in saving adj
joining property and a patrol througout
the night prevented the fire from breaking
out again. Efficient work was done by
Joe Mergens, John Peterson, Arthur Dyer,
Gunder Yestres, H. Hazelton, G. A.
nings.
The Hotel Cottagewood was recently
bought by Henry Sehomberg, of the Hotel
San Angelo of this city, and the building
was being renovated throughout in prep
aration for an early, opening. Most Of
the furniture was entirely new Mr..
