Clarke land in fact, that he does not
want to be speaker at all. But 1t is
now evident that If the legislature is at
all close an effort is to be made to' bring
Temple out for speaker. 1t is believed
Temple will not agree to this. He had
an ambition to be chairman of the Ju-
dietary committee in the last house, but
the place went to Clarke and Temple
was second on the committee. If Clarke
is made speaker 1t is pretty certain
Temple will go to the head of the judi
ciary committee, and he would rather
have that position than be speaker.

closure proceedings, and was bid In by
j. G. w. Cowles, Mr.. Rockefeller S

More People Coming to United States
Than Going to That Country.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 1.-Reports
of the great floods of American immi-
grafton into Canada, which would give
to many the impression that half the
farmers have been deserting the United
States and rushing to the British pos
sessions. are most emphatically dis
proved by the official figures, just COM
piled. During the last year only A.
500 homestead entries We're made in
all Canada, of which only 5.162 were
made by citizens of the United States.
These are the official figures and they
do not indicate any danger of the de-
population of this country, particularly
as nearly nine times as many home
stead entries were filed upon Americas
own public lands during the same per-
iod. More public land was taken up
In Oklahoma alone, in the last year.
than in the entire British possessions
in North America, and more than twice
as many homestead entries were enter
ed In that single territory as well as in
all the Canadian northwest.
The emigrants to Canada came from
widely scattered sections. According
to the Canadian statistics the 5,162
American homestead seekers came
from forty-one states and territories.
Three fifths were from the Dakotas,
Iowa, Minnesota and Montana. In
vestigation has hown that only few
of them have scld property in the Unit
ed States to make investments In Cam
ada.
During the fiscal year of 1902, the
Canadian government spent nearly
$500, 900 in the United States in adver-
tising its lands and promoting emigra-
ton from this country. and. by its own
figures, each homesteader cost 1t nearly
$40. This does not include the enor-
nous sums spent by the railroad COM
panies for the same purpose.
Statistics show larger emigration
from Canada into the United States
than the other way. BY the last CEN
sus America had more than 100000
native Canadians on this side OF the
line. In Chicago. New York and other
cities are found large Canadian colonies
and the factories of New England get
most of their operatives from upper
Canada

The making of Improvements at the
state fair grounds has been going on
some time; not least of the notable i'm
provements being a station for the
street railway within the grounds so
that patrons will be landed right in
side the fair grounds. The building OF
the station will also prevent the terrible
crowding incident to large bodies of
persons seeking to get on the cars. The
state fair management has done great
deal of building of sidewalks this year
and now has upwards of 5000 lineal
feet of brick walk on the grounds, so
that the visitor may stand some show
of keeping a shine on his shoes for a
short time after reaching the fair Sec
retary Simpson reports the outlook for
the fair is now most excellent and that
they are assured unusually fine exhibits
in all lines. The horse show will be even
greater than last year and the cattle
exhibit Will come near to equaling any
thing ever shown in the state. In recent
years the fair has come to be more and
more real state institution and less
an affair of interest to Des Moines or
Southern Iowa.
