ada just now as is the conservative
proposition that the government take
over the entire railway enterprise
known as the Grand Trunk Pacific rail-
way. Last year it was governmentally
announced that there would be con-
structed new railway from Moncton,
N. B., to Winnipeg, via Quebec, to cost
$60,000,000, to be leased to the Grand
Trunk Pacific for fifty years, without
rent the first five years, and 8 per
cent for remaining time on construc-
tion cost. The government agreed also
to guarantee per cent bonds on the
section from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
and guarantee part of the construction
from Edm onton to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. R. L.. Borden, the leader Of the
conservatives and candidate for the
premiership, proposes that the govern
ment shall assume ownership of the
entire road, and pledges his party to
effect it. The liberals stand by the
former proposition.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as to reciprocity
with the United States, said recently
that Canada had overdone the business
Of pleading with this country to recip-
rocate commercially, and the next prop
osition must come from the states.
There are ample reasons why it is prob
able that our senate will, before very
long, stop pigeon-holing reciprocity
treaties and be willing to reciprocate
with Canada, too close neighbor to
be perpetually fighting with high
tariffs.

Dominion Elections.

Our Canadian neighbors will, this
week, elect members of a new house
of commons, and the popularity Of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and the liberals will
be tested. AS the federal senate is
nominated for life, that branch does
not figure in the November elections.
. Sir Wilfrid has had brilliant sue
cesses in political life. He led the
liberal party to notable victory in
1896, and at the election in 1900 he
enjoyed another triumph, his populari-
ty being much enhanced by the effectu-
alton Of his policy Of preferential trade
with the mother country.
He enjoys much popularity in Eng
land, whittier he went on the occasion
member Of the privy council.
The participation Of the Canadian
troops in the South African war was
promoted by Laurier and gave great
delight to the champions Of imperial
federation, so that, when the premier
went to the colonial conference in 1902
in London, he met with a hearty recep-
| ton.
Sir Wilfrid, upon assuming the pre-
miership in 1897, found a tariff built
on protectionist lines, and thru his poll
cy many of the duties were reduced,
process which promoted the introduce
ton of American goods, which the Ca
nadians buy to the extent Of from
800, 100000 to $12o,o0O,O00 a year. Be
tween increased immigration to the
northwest provinces and a decided man
ufacturing boom, aided by American
capital, which has been largely invested
in manufacturing plants in Montreal
Toronto and other Canadian localities
the people Of the Dominion have ha6
a notable uplift to prosperity during
the eight years of the Laurier admin
istration. .,.-..
The Chamberlain policy Of preferen
tial trade with the colonies, as ste1
to imperial federation, is more strongl,
approved by the conservatives than b.
the liberals, whose views are refecte'
in those of Premier Laurier, who ear
nestly champions preferential marke
in Great Britain for Canadian foo
products, but thinks that Great Britai

AT THE THEATERs
Observation-Disclosures

Frank Pixley hearkened to the '1call
OF the Wild when he wrote the libretto
for Woodland. - DESERVING the more or
less beaten paths which led him to such
successes as king Dodo' and Prince
of Pilsen.'' he strayed off in the company
Of his musical partner, Gustav Luders,
into the woods where bird language is the
only speech. While Mr.. PixIey was study
Ing birds from a most unornithological
viewpoint, Mr.. Luders was striving to
catch their lays and entwine them in
his music The result is at least unique.
"A musical fantasy Of the forest, in which
all the characters are birds and whose
story deals with the succession to the
bird throne, goes Wagner and his "Sieg-
fried" one better. Unfortunately, how
ever, while the twain were listening to
the "call of the, Wild their ears were
also attuned to the jingle that proceeds
from the box office. Idyls are we'll enough
in their way, but modern audiences must
be made to laugh. Enter the comedy ele-
ment. Exit the idyllic Illusion.
And so, despite the clever inventions OF
the costu1ners In imitation Of birds, the
beautiful stage effects i'll reproducing
woodland, the sparkling bird music of
the score, the best efforts of actors and
songsters, there is something incongruous
and unsatisfying about the production. The
comedy is well enough. but as 1t is pal
pably introduced and does not grow out
of the situations. its effect IS to distract
attention from Mr.. PiSley's really novel
and original conception. The Luders mu-
sic is of high grade and helps to get the
production favorable hearing. 1t does
not seem possible. however, that wood
land will repeat the successes of it's
predecessors.
Harry Bulger, as glib and as funny as
ever, embroiders the role Of the jailbird
with the chara absurdities that
have won vogue for him. They'll Have
to Co.. his topical song, along the lines Of
tive Got a Little List strikes popular
chord. Frank Doane, the assistant come
dian, Is very funny as General Rooster
and carries out the bird idea better than
any one in the company, unless 1t
is quaint little Ida Mule as the Widow
Parrot. Cheridah Simpson, statuesque OF
sonable Prince Eagle. Emma Carus, who
plays Lady Peacock, sings in the best
voice of the principals, and being besides
a beautiful woman and an effective
actress, fairly carries off the honors. Stan.
ley H. Ford exhibits a good basso as
Judge Owl. Ida Brooks Hunt cast as
Miss Nightingale has good soprano, tho
scarcely flexible enough for that bird Of
coloratura effects. Margaret Sayre as the
| demure Turtle Dove and Helen Hale as
the pert and saucy Wren sing well anc
act better. Lucille Nelson's Mocking BirG
number is a vocal marvel and the dancing
of Matte Nichols and John Donahue as
the Cold Bottle and the Hot Bird In sew
eral Interruptions was well received.
The piece is put on with gorgeous goot
taste and unsteady is most attractive.

MINNEAPOLIS as a Financial Center.

Gratifying indeed is tho financial
showing for Minneapolis for the month
lust closed, the bank .clearings reaching
the new record mark Of $lO2,l4S,-
9l5.95. This is a total Sic, 1884, 1904 In
excess Of October of last year, at which
time the figures ran to $50, 1854, 58O.2l,
and were then thought 50 high as to
Justify the most favorable comment.
For some time the city has been MAX
ing new records in this respect, which
is probably the best financial ADVERTISE
ment that it could have.
A little analysis will show that the
great increases over previous high rec
ords have resulted largely from heavy
movement of grain into this market,
and to the high prices ruling. This is
the principal cause. More money has
been necessary to move the crops. The
various interests centered in and about
the Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce
have done an enormous business.
It would be mistake, however, to
suppose that this represents the entire
gain, Minneapolis is doing greater
business in nearly every line. The city
| is becoming more and more the fnan-
cial center of the northwest. New en-
terprises are started here daily, not only
local undertakings, but ventures in the
northwest, the promoters of which look
this way for financial backing. The
local banks are drawing in more money,
as shown by material gains in deposits.
and larger portion Of the money re-
serve of the northwest finds lodgment
here than ever before.
Soon a new railroad will link Mime
apolis to Winnipeg, and lines Of bust
ness communication already established
with the growing country above the in
ternational boundary will be strength
ened thereby, and opportunity afforded
for the establishment Of new ones.
There is vast country to the nortl
and west scarcely developed at all a.
yet, that will one day be the home o:
millions Of people, and everything tt
indicate that the growth of Minneapolis
will be fully proportionate to this de
. velopment. Already the city rank
among the first of its class as fnan
cial center, but in this respect it ha
, only begun to grow.

MUST MAKE IT GOOD
Minnesota University Seniors Face Big
''Gopher'' Deficit.

The 1905 Gopher board has debts Of
$3.50 outstanding, and the senior class
is in a furry Of excitement, for the
chances are that the class will have to
meet the deficit. In the past such has
been the rule, altho no Gopher board
has ever faced so large a deficit.
Managing Editor E. G.. O'Brien and
Business Manager Charles Sainsbury
say that the engraving company which
contracted to deliver the plates for the
Gopher at a certain time failed to do
so. and the books were two weeks late.
On this account the complete edition
was not sold and the board had 200
books on it's hands at the opening Of

MIR. Peterson Defeated in Debate.

The notable debate last night between
Congressman John Lind and Mr.. James
A. Peterson was an epitome of the state
campaign. Turnout the present contest
certain charges have been made against
Mr.. Dunn's official record as state au-
ditor. These charges have been ignored
or parted by the supporters of Mr..
I Dunn. So, last night, Mr.. Lind made
certain very serious criticisms against
Mr.. Dunn s record in the auditors Of
fee, and Mr.. Peterson either ignored or
parted them. The parrying consisted of
counter-criticism of Mr.. Lind s record
as governor and public man. The result
was, that only a small portion of Mr..
Peterson's time was devoted to the dis
cussion Of Mr.. Dunn s record, which was
the appointed subject Of the debate. Mr..
Lind is not candidate for office, and
what he did or omitted to do has no
legitimate bearing on the question of
whether a citizen should or should not
vote for Dunn.
The entire omission by Mr.. Peterson
Of all serious reference to the large num-
Der Of mineral leases authoritatively
{. cited by Mr.. Lind as having been made
to employees of the auditors office or
relatives of such employees was 50 glar-
Ing as to amount to an admission that

pettifogging. MIR. Lind bought the
state land at a public auction, exactly
as any citizen would. There was nc
opportunity for favoritism nor any DOS
Bibility that the public veal would suf
fer thereby. The newspapers of the
time noted the governors attendance
upon the public sales and his purchases
The sale was conducted by Mr. Dunn
and II there was any reason why the
governor should not bid it was Mr.
Dunn g business to refuse to sell to him
The difference between such transac
tion and the private granting of min
eral leases to employees of the offic,
charged with the administration of tn,
public lands is so great that Mr.. Peter
son deserved no more of reply thai
he got, which was simply a plain state
