GREAT STRIDES MADE.
Wonderful Richness of the Soil Of
Western Canada Has Turned the
Tide of immigration.

The great strides which Western
Canada is making, and the wonderful
richness of the soil, is creating con-
siderable excitement, not only in
Canada, but in the United States and
Great Britain. The large crops of
the past two years, with phenomenal
yields, have enacted a movement to-
wards the west, which will not be
checked until every available home
stead is taken. The Edmonton Bull
letin, one of the ''farthest north
newspapers, in a recent article on
the Northwest as a wide and open
field, says: There must be fertile
soil, there must be a suitable climate.
there must be the possibility of build
ing up modern civilization; and the
conditions must be such that labor
can reach the land; or in other
words, land must be cheap. The
Canadian Northwest contains the
largest unbroken area of country on
the continent, or in the world fulfill
ing these conditions. In its thou
sand miles of plain which stretches
from the Lake of the Woods to the
Rocky Mountains Canada is able to
offer land to the landless of the con
tinent, and of the world. This year
G902), the only complaint, over all
the vast stretch of territory, of the
farmers and ranchers, is that the
railways have not sufficient rolling
stock to move to market the returns
of the past season.

The Canadian Northwest is not all
alike in its production. Wheat grow
ing is the speciality of one part, cat
tie ranching of another, and mixed
farming-the growth of grain and
live stock together-of still another.
Speaking roughly, the southeastern
parts of the Territories and Manitoba
are wheat growing; the southwest
ern part of the Territories is ranch
ing, and the northern part of the
Territories is mixed farming. Differ
ences of soil, climate, and other CON
ditions are the causes of these differ
ences in agriculture in the various
sections. But it is safe to say that
in no other area of the world is there
nm equal possibility of the production
of wealth from the soil, whether by
one branch of agriculture or another.

Whatever doubts there have been
as to the suitability of the Canadian
Northwest for settlement, those
doubts have been set at rest by the
successive yields of previous years,
and by the browning glory of the
past year (19O2), which gives solid
assurance as to possibilities that
would not otherwise have been be-
lieved. The fact of the grain produc-
ton of the past season in Manitoba
and the Northwest, 117,922,754 bush
els from 1,9S7,33O acres, and that a
certain number of farmers have pro-
duced greater value of wheat, oats,
and cattle for sale than any other
equal number anywhere else in the

Republicans of Kentucky Elect
ed Over Their Chances.
Committee Meets This Week to Decide
About the State Con-
vention.
DIssENsIoN Is DEEP ROOTED

Now that the farcical Democratic
state primary is over and the machine
slate has gone through without even
so much as scratch, the Republicans
Of Louisville and Kentucky will insug-
urste steps toward getting their tick
ct into the field and making it one
which will not only represent the will
of the majority, but will be composed
of men thoroughly competent and I'M
trammeled by obligations to an auda-
cious clique Of machine politicians,
says yesterdays Louisville Post.
The Republican state central COM
mittee will meet at 2 O'Clock next
Thursday afternoon in room 602,
Equitable building, to name the time
and place for holding the Republican
state convention. 1t is practically GER
tain that Louisville will be selected
as the place, while the time set will
probably be in July or August.
Encouraged by the wrath that the
Democratic machine has brought down
upon its head as the result of last Sat
urday's so-called election, the Repub
iicans feel more confident than ever
that with good ticket in the field
they have a splendid chance to win in
November.
The dissension in the Democratic
ranks is not confined to Louisville, nor
is 1t of sort that will elbow over
as the machine leaders lsughingly
state, but 1t is widespread and deeI
seated. The arbitrary tactics Of tn,
machine have caused split in the
party that will not heal in time for q
general coalescing IN November. as the
leaders fondly imagine.
The campaign will be conducted by
the state central committee. Chair
man O. NJ. Barnett says no state cam
paign committee will be formed, but
that there will be campaign organiza
tions in every county.

Supt. Wallace's Friends are Get
ting Indignatn Now.
They Declare the Light Committee Is
Exceeding Its Au-
thority.
ACTION EXPECTED MONDAY

The refusal of the light committee
Of the general council to allow Super
intendent Harry Wallace, Of the city
light plant, to go TO work again when
ne reported for duty few days ago,
is causing some stir in official circles,
and sentiment among the members of
the two legislative boards seems to be
divided.
Superintendent Wallace was granted
leave of abseuce on account of i'll
health, and returned from Chicago
about two weeks ago, but was not al
lowed to go to work.
Electrician Kebbler has been in
charge of the plant since Superinten-
dent Wallace was given vacation. and
some of the officials are in favor of al
lowing him to remain in charge.
Last night at a meeting Of the men,
bers of both boards as a committee Of
the whole to to consider the sidewalk
question, Councilman Fowler, who ia
Wallace man, demanded to know by
what authority the light committee
had refused to allow city official,
elected by the council for year, to
take charge of his department. He
said he didn't think the committee
had anything to do with it, and asked
why it was allowed to exceed its au-
thority with IMMUNITY.
He was informed that Superinten-
dent Wallace had been unable to at
tend to the duties for some time and
that as Mr.. Kebbler was doing good
work it was decided to leave him in
charge awhile longer.
This is not satisfactory to Superin-
tendent Wsllace's friends and the mat
ter will come mp for full hearing at
Monday nights council meeting. Some
little feeling is developing among the
friends of Superintendent Wallace, who
regard the action of the committee as
unwarranted arrogance. The fact that
move is now on foot TO have the
light plant turned over to the joint
light committee proves according to
Superintendent wallace's friends. that
the committee row has no authority
to dismiss the superintendent or pre-
vent his exercising the authority and
discharging the duties of the Office to
which he was elected. If the plant is
placed in their hands. it is further
claimed, 1t cannot effect Superinten-
dent Wallace until his year is out.
Some Of the officials say that the res-
son the lights are better now than for
merly is that new machinery and new
lamps have been received since Super
intendent Wallace has been Off, and
that the improvement Is due to this
and not TO the change in manage
ment. No action was taken last
night, but the council will act on the
matter Monday night.

time at the hands Of the Hopkinsville
college team yesterday afternoon at
Wallace pnrk grounds by score of 6
to 1, making the fourth time it has

wards pitcher.
The game was called shortly after
8 O'Clock and Hedges made the first
and only score for Paducah. He pitch
ed faultless game but had poor sup
port. The playing was dead ON the
Paducah side except for several ca tch-
es made by Plumlee In center field.
Paducah filled the bases twice but
Edwards managed to strike out the
third man and save the day. Paducah
did not seem able to land on his deliv-
cry andgfought the air great deal.
The errors made were by Kenna who
made one; Lloyd, 2; Clifford. 8; Sim
cox, 2; Perry, 1. Perry, Plumlee and
Hedges were the only ones who seemed
to be fully in the game. Edwards, for
the Hoptown, did excellent work and
struck out 12 meanwhile Hedge struck
out II. Had Hedges been properly
supported he would have won the
game. The Hoptown boys left on tho
accommodation train at $3.50 last
night for home. They are a set of
fast ball players and deserve credit for
their good work. all with the excep-
tion of one player, Street, the catch
er, being home boys.
Smith, who played second yester-
day, is a son of Prof. II. Clay Smith,
who taught private school here two
years ago, and although yet in his
teens can teach some of Paducah's pro-
fessionals thing or two in fast ball
playing. The attendance yesterday
was light, about $50 being present.
Today the Henderson team is sched-
uled to open a series of three games.
II. ID. Cotton, an outfielder from Gin
oinusti, arrived in the city this MORN
ing to join the local team. Cotton
comes with an excellent recommends.
tion and will make some change in the
team, to the better, it is hoped. Swee-
'ney, it is said, has resigned, aud will
not longer be with the team.
Cotton will be given trial this af-
ternoon and if he makes good will be
retained on the team. It is under
stood that the baseball association
members are ready to have a shake
up in the team and will have to have
better ball. Street, catcher for the
Hopkinsville team, and Atkisson. the
short stop. want to come here and it is
thought deal may be made by which
they will be secured.
The Henderson team arrived in the
city this morning on the steamer John
