Winnipeg. Man. Dec. 27.-In August and Sep
tenber last, when reports of drought In many
parts Of the territories were followed by those
OF rust in Manitoba. there was real anxiety
among the business men of the northwest. Al
tho the future or this country is assured, there
can be no question that the present pace can be
maintained only with steady stream of immi-
grafton crop failure would have been disas-
trous to the many beginners who have started on
credit. and 1t would have stopped immigration,
destroying at once present prosperity and the
| chances of immediate recovery. The Canadian
| northwest's reputation is yet too young to stand
as well against the inevitable accidents of season
as Older countries can. But feeling of elation
has succeeded to all these alarms The harvest

in the early days of the rust scare. the Free

SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE VAL

Colonel Clarke of Cedar Rapids Com
missioned by the Grand Army to
Make the Plea-Judge at MARSHALL
town Held Law Unconstitutional as
Favoring a Glass. #rs.:z

Special to The Journal. y
Des AIoines, Iowa, Dec. 27.-Colonel Charles A.
Clarke Of Cedar Rapids has been commissioned
by the Grand, Army, department of Iowa, to
plead the soldiers preference law before the
Iowa supreme court.
It is expected that brilliant series of speech
es will be made the subject of validity Of the
act A Judge at Marshalltown held it unconsti-
tutional because it favored a class.
! The abstract in, the case was filed IN the SUI
preme court by Warren Walker for e. u. Shaw,
the old soldier who is the plaintiff In the pro-
ceeding, seeking to compel the council OF Mar
slalltown to obey the law.
l. This act prepared by Representative E.
| ]. c.. Bealer of Cedar Rapids, WHO was 1nstru-
mental in securing the services OF Colonel clarke
for the Grand Army to present the soldiers side
cf the case to the supreme court. .-.5.. e. :
1t is the contention of the old soldiers that the
state had a right to fix the qualifications for
public employees: to fix service in the civil war
as one of the qualifications is as legal as to fix
stenography or any other mark Of ability or ut
| ness for a place, and long as the law does not
discriminate among those having the qualifca'
tions listed by the law the law must be valid
l. For instance, the Legislature last winter pro
posed law requiring committee clerks to be
stenographers but it failed. Under the theory
of those who attack the soldiers preference
law, such all act would have been invalid because
it prevented anyone but stenographers from hold
ing the positions of committee clerks. - e.

High Grade Held Back.

1.-The eact that prices have been high for the
poorer grades OF, wheat, and the prevailing opn-
ion that very much higher prices will be
the rule next May. has made farmers sell the low
and hold the high-grade wheat. Shipments from
the first of November showed fairly steady i'm
provement Of grade, and it seems fair to assume
that when the final roundup Of the crop is made
next August it will be found that the facts will
justify the opinion we here express. that thix
crop is No. 2 northern rather than a No. 3
northern CROP
the total crop of the Canadian northwest this
year was not short of 100, 100000 bushels of
grain. An interesting testimony to the pernla-
nent fertility of the soil is found in the follow
ing paragraph: -.
T. 1.-The Winnipeg district takes in the farming
sections within radius of twenty miles of the
city, and much of this land has been under
cultivation for thirty years. The seven points
heard from cover this district north. south and
west and show average yield of 23 81 bushels
to the acre, with an average grade of No. ]
nOrthern.'' .-..-..-.
,- Homeseekers Satisfied.
But the best proof that the actual homeseekers
have been satisfied with what they is the
steady increase in the number of homestead en-
tries which at the late. season of November
amounted to 1882. equal to 3S2. 120 acres The
