CANADA'S WHEAT POSSIBILITIES

The possibilities of wheat-growing
in western Canada is subject much
discussed among milers and elevator
men. 1t is timely, therefore. to no.
tice an article on this subject in the
current Canadian Magazine by Will
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 $1,000, 900
acres of land in Athabasca,' he adds,
sand a large slice of the 100000. 900
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 conjecture y
OF the known Wheat-growing area
of 171,00O,00O 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.
1t 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 $780,
100000 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 pillow.
1t 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 5O.OOO,00O more. Without
considering the increased population
of the rest of the breadeating world.
here will be an increased consump-
ton of at least 900, 900 bushels Of
wheat. And in those days the United
than at present. Besides, thirty years
is a long time.

cent. has been appropriated for this
work it is not plain to the average
citizen why any thanks are due along
this line If Senator Ankeny has
opened his mouth on behalf of the Co
lumbia as a competitor with the rail-
roads nobody out here has heard of it.
The republican county central COM
mittee was probably made the victim
of a practical joke by Walter Cadman,
author of the commendatory resolu-
tions. The only wonder is that Mr..
Cadman did not include a resolution
approving the settlement of national
bank taxes at 40 cents on the dollar.
That would have been the best joke
of all coming from Cadman who has
Had a great deal to say in cOndemna-
ton of that settlement.

DO EVERYTHING WELL.

Some years ago Benjamin L. VIM
chell, in a social discussion of success,
said: DO everything WELL" That has
been his motto, and from a clerk on $40
a week only a few years ago for the
Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad he
has risen to the presidency of the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific system
with salary Of $4,000 year.
The progress of Mr.. Winchell has
been, many say, rapid. 1t has. but, it
has been by doing everything we'll. AS
a clerk he did the best he could and
this was recognized by his superiors.
He was promoted to a more responsible
position. He did not forget his motto.
He was promoted again, and still he
did everything we'll. Promotions came,
not by bounds, but steadily and because
he did that which he had to do as We'll
as he knew how. He applied himself
to his work. He studied his work. He
became master of every little detail
connected with his position and ever
he looked beyond. While working his
way slowly and steadily up the ladder
Of success he remained democratic. In
other words, his head did not swell
and he always recognized the rights
and feelings of others.
For every boy there is a lesson in the
success of the Rock Islands president.
He, too, was poor. He had to begin
at the beginning. He had only his own
brain and his own hands to assist him.
He was without a pull. But he was
ambitious sober, industrious-and he
did everything we'll.

The experience of this country in the

IT'S STORIES DON'T AGREE.

The reliability of the Unions ac-
count of the political gatherings held
under the auspices of the Boxers is
demonstrated by a comparison of two
accounts of Governor McBride's Pres
colt meeting. one written by its peri
patetic political correspondent on
March o21st the day of the meeting,
and the other appearing in this morn
ing'ss paper under date of April 18th.
The first account says in part:
when Governor Mcbride arrived
mere this morning he was greeted by
the mayor and three other citizens and
escorted to the city hotel. The at
mosphere appeared so chilly that the
gubernatOrial party We're very much
discouraged at the prospect for an en-
thusiastic meeting. There
We're Very few farmers in attendance
and the decorations on the business
houses was about the only evidence
that the little city of Prescott was en-
tertainng for the first time in its eX-.
those in attendance stated that their
presence was intended as mark Of
respect for the position of the gov
al3lor and not as an Indication OF their
endorsement of the Mcbride candi-
dacy."
This morning the Union has the fol-
lowing as part of an alleged Prescott
dispatch:
From following sad to number
between 80 and so of the - voters in
Prescott, the number of Mcbride sup
porters here has dwindled in less than
When Governor Mcbride filled the hall
here three weeks ago, it looked like
he had every man in Prescott pre-
cinct. Only an occasional argument
was heard on the street against him.
while the houses of the town were
practically deserted during his adj
dress. Even the village school
closed.
The Union. it will be seen from It's
latest account, admits that Governor
McBride's meeting at Prescott was
bowling success and that to the back
cappers from Walla Wala who at
tempted to kill his meetings at Pres
colt, Waitsburg and Dayton. 1T looked
like he had every man in Prescott

vised accounts of the governors meet

The Statesman takes no particular
interest in the republican factional
quarrels. It does not care whether
Senator Ankeny or Governor Mcbride
shall win in their alleged rivalry for
the hand of Georgia Stevenson, the po-
litical courtesan of the state, but in
the interest of honest and reliable
news service it takes this opportunity
of calling the attention of discriminate
ing readers to the character of the
stuff that the morning paper gives
them.

meetings will be misrepresented by
this purblind factional organ in the
