Mysteries.

The Mysteries of our contemporary,
the st. Paul Globe, over the effort Of
Mr.. Hartman to gain the control of
the Northern Pacific may be explained
on the ground Of the deep concern
which the owner of that paper must
feel in the possibility of loss of con-
troll over a line competing with his
Great Northern. If Mr.. Hartman
should be successful it would doubtless
be pretty serious matter to Mr.. Hill.
But the effort to make it appear as If
the people Of the northwest were
aroused, as the Globe puts 1t, and fear
full Of the consequences, is not likely
to appeal with much force to the gen.
eral public. We are unable to dis
cover any wild state of alarm lest the
Northern Pacific should become a
competitor Of the Great Northern, and
that is about all there is to it. The
talk Of diverting business is largely
dust in the air. There has been a
good deal of diverting done already
since the Northern Pacific has become
allied. with the Burlington and bust
ness has been exchanged at Billings
instead Of at the twin cities. Further

quence to the people of the northwest
than active rivalry for local business
between two systems of railroad.
But after all is said and done of
what avail is the effort of our merger

the people of the northwest over the
real dissolution Of the merger? The
merger cannot be restored. The COM
bination, the destruction of which has

tween the Great Northern building
and the Globe office. cannot be re-
vived.
We see no occasion for general
gloom outside of the Morgan-Hill Of
fees. The Northern Pacific will still
run trains, and still serve the public,
and in view Of the tendency toward
economy which the merger was put
ting into effect in the consolidation Of
offices, the abandonment Of sidetracks,
and the discharge Of employees, we are
inclined to think that it will run quite
as much in the interest Of the public
in the future as it has in the recent
past ...'. F..

An Evidence of School Life.

The final debate in the high school
contest will occur at the university on
the 18th Of this month. It is no acct
dent that the teams in the final debate
come from the same schools which
met in the final contest last year. On
the contrary it is conclusive evidence
that the study Of oratory and debate in
these schools has been prosecuted
with peculiar zeal and success. The
fact has attracted some attention, too,
turnout the state, because it empha-
sizes that merit rather than luck really
controls in the bestowal Of honors in
this contest. Accidents will happen,
of course, In a series of contests such
as the high school debating league
carries on each year, but they are not
likely to bring out teams from the
same schools in the final contest twice
in succession, and we anticipate that
this result will stimulate interest in
the work of the league thruout the
state. There is hardly any better evi.
dence of the fact that school is alive
than its disposition to get into this
ity and opportunity. There is not q
high school in the state probably sc
lacking in high school spirit, so out OF
touch with the spirit Of the time as
to have no football team. Not all en-.
gage in this rivalry with the hope Of
winning the state championship, but
none are willing to be regarded as 81
dull and lifeless as to take no part II
this popular sport. The same attitude
should be assumed toward the higl
shool debates, and there are evidences
that that feeling is becoming quite
general among superintendent ant
principals.

Uncle Sam Guarantees.

court of cessation, as to the rights Of
sovereignty held by Colombia over the
Isthmus of Panama. @'H' .
He further declares that the Bogota
government will, in the event Of
getting no justice in the French courts,
issue a formidable manifesto to the
world, explaining that Colombia ''is
the victim of odious spoliation, which
compels her to resort to arms" and
that Colombian troops will, sooner or
later, invade the rebel republic Of
Panama" and begin hostilities.
Any appeal Colombia may make to
the world, while such appeal might be
gleefully Endorsed by the democratic
party in this country, always addicted
to going "agin' the government" will
not make much impression upon the
several powers who have recognized
the government Of the new republic
of Panama, as a member Of the group
of the worlds civilized nations, pos
sessing the necessary sovereignty to
make a treaty with the United States
embodying concessions Of canal rights,
perpetual in character.
It is reasonably certain that Colon
bia will fail to get the court Of casa
ton to order a new trial of the French
company's case and If Colombia
chooses to declare war against Pan
anna, she would have to take into con-
sideration the fact that the first article

Wheat Possibilities Of Canada.

The possibilities of wheat-growing
in western Canada is a subject much
discussed among nnillers and elevator
men. It is timely, therefore, to no.
tice an article on this subject in the
current Canadian Magazine by VIII
liam Saunders, director Of Canada's
experiment farms.
Mr.. Saunders estimates that in Man
itoba, Assiniboia, Saskatchewan and
Alberta there are 100000 acres
of good wheat land. THE 155, 100000
acres Of land in Athabasca," he adds,
land large slice Of the 340,000,000
acres in Mackenzie, will no doubt
prove important factors in the future
development Of Canada; but what pro-
portion Of these vast districts will be
capable Of the profitable growing Of
crops is as yet a matter Of conjec-
ture.'' ...r.ev .
OF the known wheat-growing area
of 100000 acres, Mr.. Saunders
thinks it is conservative to look for
ward to a time when one-fourth-or
about the same acreage as is now
devoted to wheat in the United States
will be annually sown to wheat.
A ten-years' average-1S91-190o-
Of the wheat yield In Minnesota was
nineteen bushels to the acre. The
same yield on about 100000 acres
| would produce a total crop Of more
than s0O,000,00O bushels.
It is difficult to find much fault with
Mr.. Saunders figures. 1t may be sug-
gested that, as the area under crop
enlarges, the yield per acre will de-
| crease. But putting the average yield
at fifteen bushels, the total crop on
the assumed acreage would be about
65o.000,000 bushels.
However, the "bulls'' need not think
it is all over with them. Tens Of thou
sands Of miles Of railway will have
to be built, and western Canada will
have to have some millions Of people
before such a vast area shall know
the plow. It will take at least thirty
years to change 100000 acres OF
prairie from grass to wheat. BY that
time Canada will have 100000 more
people to feed than now and the
United States will have 50,000,00(
more. Without considering the in.
4 creased population of the rest Of the
bread-eating world, here will be ar
increased consumption Of at least $780,.
100000 bushels Of wheat. And IL
those days the United States may pro
duce much less wheat than at pres
ent. Besides, thirty years is a Ions
time. .;s%e.s go. -ae s.. -..-...

Good Opening for Labor Bureau

Labor Commissioner O'Donnell is
on the right track in. his idea of
free employment bureau for harvest
hands. Such an undertaking would
make the labor department Of service
to the rural sections Of the state, as it
already: is to the cities. The grow
ing scarcity of field labor in the har-
vest season is a serious menace to
the wheat belt of Minnesota and the
Dakotas. . There are usually men
enough in the country seeking work,
but the problem is to direct them to
the right section. A well-conducted
Estate bureau could be accurately in
formed on the needs of each farming
community. 1t would know how
many men to send to each station,
and when to send them. Working
men could feel safe in going wherever
| they were sent by such a bureau, and
would not hold back on account of
suspicion. Doubtless the free feature
of such bureau would bring a greater
supply Of men, for there are many
| laborers who become stranded with
out the 50 or IS fee demanded by
the employment agent.
Minnesota farmers would approach
the harvest season with much more
confidence If they could feel sure OF
hands enough to care for their rip
ening grain. There are many chances
farmers must take with their crops
but the chance Of wasting them after
they are cut is one that can be elm.

such an undertaking, he will win the

farmers, not to speak of the cite:

Municipal Ownership.

n The large vote in favor of munich
pal ownership Of the street railways
in Chicago yesterday-152,43 4 for and
a30,1O4 against the proposition-can be
accounted for in large part by the
poor service the Chicago traction
companies have given the people of
that city. Dirty, uncomfortable cars
and not enough of them and general
Indifference to the wishes Of the pub
lie made the voters mad and they
were glad to get a chance at the COM
spanies.
& Public favor is something a public
service corporation cannot afford to
despise. 1t may do so for awhile, but
the time is pretty sure to come when
the corporation will need the favor
of the public worse than it needs any
thing else.
IN Chicago's success or failure in mu-
anicipaI ownership Of local passenger
transportation will present a very in
teresting object lesson to the whole
country, which. Influenced by the
growth Of trusts and monopolies, has
been gravitating toward what are
called the most rational features Of
the socialistio program. Socialists
to the manner born regard such fea-
lures as municipal ownership Of pub
lie utilities, as transportation, electric
communication by telephone, tele-
graph, either wire or wireless, ETC., as
the foundation Of their larger pro-
gram Of equal rights Of all to the ma
terial conditions Of existence.
The experience Of this country in
the matter of municipal franchise
giving has been very discouraging as
"a general thing. Misunderstanding
corporations have not infrequently
taken control Of the machinery Of the
