The Populist Vote.

1t now seems that majority of
the former Populists of this county
will vote for Roosevelt. And while
they are voting for the head of the
ticket many of them will continue
right down the line and vote for
Hoch and majority of the state
and county ticket. And why should
they not vote the straight Republi-
can ticket. They know to a GER
tainty just what Republicanism
stands for and they know the Dem
ocratic platform is intended to be
all things to all men.
They know the Democratic party
and campaign are dominated and
controlled by Wall street and great
combines of the east. They know
the Democratic convention at St.
Louis was too cowardly to declare
any positive stand on the leading
issues of the campaign, aud that
the financial plank was omitted in
order that free silver campaign
might be run In the west and a gold
money campaign in the east on the
strength of the Parker telegram.
They know with Bryan that Park
ers nomination was only secured by
Hill. treachery and fraud and that
if elected he will be controlled by
Hill, Belmont and other trust mag
mates.
They also know that Roosevelt
has made record for independence
and fearlessness and that he is en-
forcing the Sherman antitrust law
and forcing these big trusts to come
under the laws of the country the
same as private citizens.
The arguments are all in favor of
Republicanism more especially
when it is considered that under
Republican rule and policies we are
enjoying wonderful national pros
perity and that the last experiment
we had with Democratic rule was
woefully disastrous to all interests.

Speed of the Big Cars Amazed the

the morning. AS a result the surface
was hard but sufficiently resilient to
add to the speed of the cars.
Before the races started at 2 o'clock
the Journal Newsboys' band gave a
concert which put the crowd in good
humor. AS the different chauffeurs
cheered by their friends. All eyes
were focused on the big sixty-horse
Pope-Toledo, driven by Webb, and on
the Peerless and Franklin racing ma
chimes. Webb warmed up bit be-
fore the races were called and the
speed at which he negotiated the cor
ners caused gasps of establishment
from the spectators.
Dick Ferris was another favorite
with the stands. He was CARRIED in
the latest and most ultra style of
racing chauffeurs and in his pre-
liminary work succeeded in getting his
car to going great guns.
Harry Pence was diving around cor

REFORESTING HIT BY TAX
WILLIS WALKER SAYS LOSS IN
YEARS OF GROWTH WOULD
EXSEED PROFITS.

tReforesting the country Is red
dered practically impossible thru high
taxation said Willis Walker of the
T. B. Walker company today, in an
sWer to the recent statement of Sec
rotary Wilson of the department Of
agriculture, that the time was rapidly
approaching when this country would
have to go to the Philippines for it's
mining timbers unless cleared lands
were reforested.
THE danger of being unable to Sc
cure mining timbers is not as acute as
the securing Of wood for manufacture
ing purposes. Mining timber may be
full Of knots, provided it Is Of suitable
size and lightness. In regard to the
statement that a supply could be OBJ
tanned from the Philippines, confess
do not understand it. The expense
would be enormous and the timber
would be unsuitable for mining pur-
poses, as it is very hard and heavy and
would be difficult to shift around in
the mines. It is much more likely
that timber for this purpose could be
secured from the Yalu river, where
understand there is an abundance of
large timber Of light weight.
In regarding the recommendation
of reforesting, I would simply say that
the state itself has put that out Of
the question. The taxes on cleared
lands are so high that it is impossible
to allow them to lie idle for a half
century Or more.
The best way to secure perpetual
forests is to preserve the underwood
| and allow it to grow Up among the
| big timpers. In this way there would
be a constant supply. In Europe this
| Is constantly done in the forests, but
in this country the profits would be
| consumed by taxation long before the
| trees would be ready to cut

Amount Available for 1905 Less than
This Year-Sewers Will Cost $780,

More than half million dollars
will be required for the permanent
improvements Of the city for the year
1905. This is considerably less than
is being expended during the pres
ent year, but the available funds are
much greater this year. owing to the
surplus from big bond issues of last
| summer.
According to figures collated by E
R. Dutton assistant city engineer
there will be required $571,939 fol-
| sewers, paving and bridges. Of this
sum, $291,239 will be available from
| the receipts of the revolving fund
while the balance Of $2S0,70O must
| be raised by tax levy.
The sewer work ordered for next
year will cost $164,00O, the paving
ter $26,375, In addition, there vii
be needed the following appropria.
tions: Bridge repairs, $25,0OO; sewer
repairs, $4,000; curb and gutter re.
pairs $4,000; paving repairs, $4,000
sidewalk intersections, $4,000; side

is being expended this year, as the

WHEAT Says, THO
REPORTS ARE BAD
TRADERS SELL WHAT THEY
BOUGHT YESTERDAY.
Market Opens Below Yesterdays
Close, the Result of Failure of Pre-
dicted Frost to observation-disclosures
actions Light and Lethargy Seizes
Brokers',

Heavy selling forced down the price
of wheat in the Minneapolis pit to-
day, in spite of reports of disaster to
the northwest crop which under
other pit conditions would have had a
tendency to advance the market.
Yesterdays weather reports were
for frost in the Canadian northwest
last night and heavy buving was the
result, some traders stating their be-
lief that a nip of the growing grain
would put the price up % cents with
in a week.
But there was no frost, and as a re-
suit wheat opened this morning lao
to 1&c below yesterdays close.
There was considerable dealing on
the curb before the pit opened, and IA
quantity Of September wheat changed
hands at Sill, yesterdays buyers be-
ing anxious to get rid of their hold
ings, fearing the bottom would drop
out of the market in view of the pre-
vailing good weather. The selling
tendency continued turnout the day,
and bore down the market to a great
err extent than had been expected such
a contingency could.
September opened at $1.11A, De-
cember $1.09 and May $1.09A. The
heavy selling made the low records
cember, $1.O7A; May, $1,000. 1t
looked for while as tho there would
be still lower quotations., but then
came in calamity reports in regard to
the crop.
Most important was the H. V. oJnes
statement from Winnipeg that the
Manitoba crop was tWo-thirds of 1t
seriously damaged. Private messages
conveyed further bad news-that rust
was making greater inroads in north
ern and western Minnesota, and that
in North Dakota rust damage was on
the rapid increase.
This news doomed the market to it's
highest figures of the day: September,
$1.13a; December, Sill; May, SLIP.
Heavy offerings at these figures, how
ever, soon again brought down the
quotations, and the market closed
September, $1.11&; December, $1.OSB;
May, $1.10B.
A feature of today's transactions
on change was the presence Of four
of the most prominent grain dealers
in the country-James A. Patten, Will
liam H. Lake and r. E. Denniston, al
of Chicago, and G. H. Spencer Of ST.
Louis. At times today there were
hardly more than a dozen dealers 1r
the pit, and trade Jagged. 1t was
probably the lightest day of transac.
lions for three days past.
The galleries were crowded AGAR
| today. Perhaps half Of the specta.
tors were women.
