Primary Election.


We print again ia this issue copy
of the proposed Primary Election Law
which will be submitted to the voters
tomorrow for their approval CT dis
approval. If you have not already
read this proposed law, by ali means
do so before entering the polling
booth. This is very important mat
ter. Do not take any mans work for
the merits or dement's of the pro-
posed law. Read and decide for your
self and mark your ballot according to
your own judgment.
We are opposed to the law for the
following reasons, among others:
it will cost the town OF Eagle River
at least 100000 to conduct a prim-
airy election under the proposed law.
1t will destroy party organization
by eliminating conventions and de
priving the people of the opportunity
to meet and discus candidates and
measures.
Ii will deprive the party of the OPP
portunity of selecting it's candidates
from the different sections Of the state
or districts.
1t will deprive rural districts of rep
resentation on the ticket and give to
the cities and centers Of population
the naming of all candidates.
1t takes from the representatives
the right to declare platforms and par
ty principals and vest this power in
the candidates for office.
Vote against the proposed law and
place upon the statute books sim
pie and effective primary election law
that will be inexpensive and easy of
operation. All that is desired or
that can be accomplished by a Prim-
airy election law is to guarantee to the
voter the opportunity to vote for the
candidates Of his choice and to assure
him that his vote will be honestly
counted. Again, We admonish every
voter, irrespective of party, to read
the proposed primary election law
and vote your honest conviction.

For State Senator.

We clip the following from the
Merrill News, a Democratic paper
that is not supporting D. H.
Walker for State Senator:
"The News candidate for state
senator James A. Wright is a
Merrill boy hence needs no intro
duction at our hands and as his
business has taken him up and
down the length OF the Wisconsin
Valley, he is equally as well and
tavorably known elsewhere as at
home. Like Mr.. Brown he is a
gentleman, a scholar and a sue
cessful businessman. There is
not a qualification lacking in his
makeup that would prevent him
making the best senator that
ever represented this district He
is a man of affairs and influence;
a man that will be listened to at
Madison or anywhere. He
knows the requirements of this
district thoroughly and has
pledged himself to look after
them to the best Of his ability
and with no discrimination.
With his word being as good as
an interest bearing gold bond,
will you consider that you have
done your duty next Tuesday
unless you vote for him? For to
vote for him is assuredly your
plain duty"

The people. when they go the
polls to vote next Tuesday, will
be called upon to decide whether
or not they desire primary cleo
ton law. Before voting on this
question consider what it means.
It will do away with all conven-
tions, with all nominations, 9TH
er than the direct nominations,
and will destroy all party organ
izations. It means that the men
with the greatest amount OF
money, who can make two care
full canvasses Of their district and
hire the best workers, will be the
ones who will secure all the Of
fees, the poor man will have no
show whatsoever. If you want
these conditions vote for the pri-
mary election law, but if you
desire clean politics vote against
it. Don't be mislead into voting
for this law by what anyone tells
you or because any certain per-
son advocates it, as they have an
object in view in having it be-
come a law to favor their own
ends .-Central Wisconsin.

St. Louis.-I was standing on the
Plaza St. Louis, admiring the scene
that stretched away into the distance
before me, ending with the magnificent
spectacle Of the Cascades. I needed no
company, for the great exposition all
around me was sufficient, but as stood

a western college, stopped beside me.

Here in two weeks time one can gain
more practical knowledge of the kind
that will be useful to him in the strug-
gle with the world than he can get in
two years time in any university. The
college education is entirely different
from the kind of education one gets
by seeing things. but for practical pur-
poses the seeing education is quite as
necessary, as the book learning. We
consider a trip to Europe as great

THREE DIVISIONS AFFoRDINo
CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT. i
They Are Specially Adapted to Ranch
ing, Wheat Growing and Mixed
Farming-Many Americans
Settling There. =

The old Romans used to say that Gaul
was divided into three parts. So is the
Canadian northwest. Gaul's divisions
were political; those of western Cana
da's prairies are created by the unerring
hand of nature.
The First Division.
Chiefly because of the elevation of the
country, the absence Of large lakes and
rivers, and the operations of the
Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds,
which readily cross the Rocky noun
tains in southern Alberta through gaps
and passes, the southwestern portion
of the Canadian provinces is regarded as
somewhat arid, and less fertile :han
other portions of the country. AL
though this has been prevailing idea
in the east, it has been left for American
settlers who have invaded this district
within the past two or three years to
prove that splendid crops of grain can
be grown on the land which had hitherto
been the feeding ground for the herds Of
cattle and bands of horses that ranged
here.
That ranching is carried on most sue
cessfully in other portions of the prairies
west, just as agriculture is to limited
extent conducted successfully within
this boundary, is fully established, but
taken as whole it constitutes terri

amount to about $5.25 per acre; that
is, If a man has everything done 1t
will cost him $5.25 per acre. II ht
does the work himself he Is earning
wages while producing at that fg-
ure. Now as the average yield Is 20
bushels, and the average price 60 cent?

the result and cost, $675, Is the profit
of grain growing year In and year

Canadian prairie country. II a man

should make If he is a capable farm

round besides. ~
The Third Division.
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt, between 1t ard what is known
as the. forest country AS wheat
growing implies the raising of all
cereals, that can profltably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy.
ing and the raising of farm stock.
It must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion Of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such is not the case-all districts aro
equally fertile, hut the topography
and climatic influences differ, as well
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but It Is found more
profitable to comb:nh all the features
of the industry. Oh account Of the
land being more broken than In tho
southern district, though the soil -
equally fertile, there are not the same
opportunities for extensive operations:
and while cattle raising is as profitabls
here as elsewhere, different methodS
have to be adopted for their protec.
ton, especially in the winter season.
An authority On the subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum Of
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature of the industry may be prose-
cuted. 1t is certainly then that II
the agricultural possibilities Of this
portion of the prairie country be esti.
mated by its adaptability to dairy
farming even the most skeptical must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed In
any country in the world. AS init
mated above, even dairying may be
successfully carried on in any corner
of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend 1t as the
ideal spot for this branch Of the busi-
ness.
The mining districts of British
Columbia, which consume an immense
lot of dairy products, are close at
hand and always afford good mar
ket for butter, cheese. pork. poultry
and eggs.
