General Cassius NJ. Clay, the
"Lion of WHITEHALL" is dead in
Kentucky, after a stormy I'M
eventful life. General Clay was
brought prominently before the
public a few years ago by marry
Ing fourteen-year-old girl of the
poorer class against the wishes OF
his children, the marriage culmi-
mating in bitter fued. The Gem
erals room at Whitehall was a
yeritable arsenal, and no one had
the nerve to approach the fiery
old warrior unbidden.

JUDGE BLANCHARD SPEAKS OUT.

After some deliberation, Judge
Newton G. Blanchard, one of the
prominent candidates for Govern
or Of the State in the approaching
campaign, in lucid and able
public letter addressed to the
gentlemen who launched his can
didacy, gives his views on cues
tons which are Of primary i'm
portancc to the sulfragans Of the
State. He denies emphatically
the report that ii elected Govern
or he would use the influence OF
! the Office to have the Legislature
return him TO the United States
I Senate, declaring that lie would
serve the people as Governor
/ throughout his term and that he IS
not in quest OF Senatorial honOrs
in the least Nr. Blanchard very
correctly intinlatc5 that such
conduct would be an act Of tre&ch-
cry towards the Democratic voters
supporting his candidacy and
there is 20 doubt but that the re-
port is now thoroughly exploded
as ill-foundcd and unwarranted.
On the subject Of general pri-
mary election Judge Blanchard is
thoroughly III accord with general
Jastremski and urges the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee to
adopt that method OF selecting all
candidates. He believes the time
has come for the intelligent DEM
ocratic voters Of the State TO say
directly who shall &c their candi-
dates, instead OF delegating their |
authority to the old convention
plan. Judge Blanchard says that
a general primary will promote |
harmony in the party and in this |
we believe bin to be absolutely
correct. 1t 4 seht to be SO that
every Demotvat should have a
right to run for any office he may
desire. The primary election
plan is essentially one to permit
such a course--to insure rotation

tented feeling among the best eie-

the boundcn duty OF every party

~ sound and thoroughly Demo-
cratic III the question Of the Gov
appointiVe power. He is
in favor OF returning TO the people
many offices now filed by APP
pointment. To accomplish this,
however, he asserts that the con-
stitution OF 1898 would have to be
as this power is vested
in the Governor by constitutional
provision. He is hot opposed TO
The necessary amendments, but is
Of the opinion that the time is too
short since the adoption Of the

However, that
would be a matter tor the Legis-
allure to consider. All in ali,

;hard in the campaign is entirely

ated to make his candidacy III

High military officials Of the
Russian government have just
closed conference over the Man

be seen that Russia is determined
to throw more troops into China

Washington does not look sharp
we will soon be holding the little

Heavy corn and forage Gre

Heavy corn and forage crops
are reported from Mississippi and
adjoining States. Cotton, while
the crop will not be large, will
very likely prove very profitable
one this year, as prices are now
The highest known, and it is the
prediction of knowing ones that
there will not be much Of a decline
when the new crop is placed, on
the markets. The Southern cot
ton planter is feeling very hope
full these days and it is our earn
est wish that the present outlook
will not be disappointing.

I0s55N0RMAI> LAKE. LEVELS
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CON-
r, SIDER DREDGING MINNEHAHA
CREEK AT OAK NARROWS, BE-
Ess g.
: =. Low GRAY'S BAY DAM.

What. appears to be a happy so1u-
ton Of the problem for reducing the
high water in Lake Minnetonka was
proposed. before the county commits
sioners this morning by Charles j..
Traxler. He suggested that the board
should widen Oak narroWs on Min
.nehaha creek, about two miles below
the dam, where the waters are said
to have been really held this year. 1t
is generally admitted by the county
officials familiar with the conditions
that "a widening and dredging Of the
channel of the creek at the narroWs
would undoubtedly assist in lowering
the lake. The work will cost about
$500.
Mr.. Traxler was directed to proceed
to get up a petition for the improve
ment, which he promised to do with
out loss of time. If the work is I'M
dertaken under the state dredging
act, the cost would be assessed against
the benefited property but in view of
the many special assessments against
ers may vote to pay the cost out Of
the lake improvement fund.
=. The board, decided to visit the coun-
ty= poor farm next Wednesday for the
annual inspection and inventory. The
last meeting will be held next Thurs
day, when the matter of another pay
lnent of inheritance tax rebates will
be considered. The board has about
$500 available for the purpose and
claims now on file. The claimants
have been paid rs per cent, but would
probably welcome another payment.
The board authorized the commit
tee on roads and bridges to purchase
a road roller at an expense of $4,000.

Mrs. Bonnie Hinkle Carlisle visited

AS he has no money to leave her, he

been occupied in going over this tale.
Silberberg has said that his father
was a rich Polish count who started

he died he left over half million
dollars to be divided between his two
sons, Henry and Aaron. Henry soon
spent his portion but the brother re-
tanned his and is still a rich man.

SPOILS GOOD
FLOUR MARKET
RUSSIAN OCCUPATION OF MAN.
CHURIA HURTS OUR TRADE.
James w. Richardson, u. S. Consul at
Formosa, Tells of Conditions in
Province Over Which Russia and
Japan Seem About to Flght-His
View of Probable Settlement.

James w. Richardson of Austin,
Mimi, who has been United States
consul in FOrmOsa, Japan, for seven
years, is at the West hotel. Mr.. Rich
ardson is spending a few weeks in
Minnesota on leave of absence. He
said that the Russian occupation of
Manchuria had resulted in the loss
of large part of the trade which had
been built up in that province by
United States merchants.
Formerly" said Mr.. Richardson,
''the United States had a large trade
in flour, lumber and oil in Manchuria.
Now the Russians are erecting mills
few years be producing more flour
than Manchuria can consume. That is
a great agricultural district, especial
~ for wheat. The character Of the
soil much resembles that of the Red
River valley. Soon the section will
be producing enough wheat to supply
practically all the far east, with flour.
Formerly the United States supplied
most of this trade. The Russians are
also taking away the trade in lumber
and oil from America, by exporting
these things to Manchuria.
Russia has not yet erected any per
manent buildings in Manchuria, but
she has occupied nearly all the impor-
tant towns, and is gradually strength
ening her hand in the province. The
American trade in this section must
be built up along other lines, such as
agricultural machinery. for which
there will be a large demand in the
next few years.. W.
Mr.. Richardson refused to discuss
the political situation in Manchuria
and korea, but said that in the op1n-
ion of residents of those and neigh
boring countries, especially the foreign
residents, the dispute between Japan
and Russia would be settled by Rus
sia's allowing Japan a free hand in
Korea, while Russia was permitted to
remain in Manchuria.
