EXPLANATORY,

IN the last issue of the IONA
HAWK mention was made in the
local column that Miss Ella Cajune
was handling the rihhons'' Of the
Fosston stage line.
For this, Lee Logan, the TohA-
HAWKS manager: was called TO &C,
count during our recent absence
by Miss Josie Burnette, who made
him understand in forcible way
that she, and not Miss Cajune, is
handling the ribbons" Of the
Fosston stage line.
We humbly beg the young lady
Jehu's pardon for not in the first
place giving her the credit to
,yhich she was entitled, and here
after we will insist upon haFlng
more reliable news from our re-
porter, relative to that particular
stage line.

might, therefore reasonably expect a
lower wheat rate to Duluth than is

ninth parallel is comparatively depre.g
ciated. They point to the fact that IL
is, as matter Of fact, much higher
than shat north OF the line. They
maintain, too, that owing to the geog-
raphy Of western Canada and the fact
that the problem of getting its wheat
cheaply to the Atlantic coast has not
yet been solved, the American farmers
derive a larger net income from their
wheat crops each year than the Cana
dian. What good, they ask, is a, low,
nominal wheat rate from some Cana
dian point to Port Arthur, If condi-
tons are such that little or no wheat
can be moved that way after the close
of navigation. On the other hand,
wheat Is moved into Minneapolis and
winter, and Is disposed of about as
fast as It arrives. It is turned into
flour and becomes a new product In
other words, it is marketed there. The
bulk Of the Canadian grain, because
of lack Of extensive flour mills and
large home market, does not get to
market in any sense until it reaches
the seaboard.
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cif1c officials are not at all disturbed
by the fact that the Canadian Pa.
cif1c will haul grain from Calgary,
for example, 1886 miles, for Is cents,
while the Great Northern charges IS
cents from Buford, 642 miles. The
reason, they say, is that the whole
Of the northwestern wheat area tribu-
tary to Minneapolis and Duluth lies
largely within q radius Of $50 miles
of either city, whereas the edge OF
the Canadian wheat country is not
reached until about that distance from
Fort William has been passed by the
Canadian Pacific, thru the agricul-
turally worthless country of western
Ontario. The Canadian roads are thus
compelled by nature to make much
lower rates in proportion to distance,
if they wish to leave their far NORTH
western farmers with anything after
paying for transportation.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-02-06

These freight figures are taken
from the tariffs issued for use during
the shipping season Of 1908 to the
agents Of the Great Northern and the
Canadian Pacific, respectively. The
distances are taken from the passen-
ger traffic folders Of the two COM
panies, and in few cases may be
inaccurate by two or three miles. All
the documents came to the writer
from the officials, who respectively is
sue them to agents.
Rates Compared.
[NoteAIt should be explained here
that Mr.. Thomson is evidently using
the Canadian Pacific winter rates,
which are about 3 cents or more lower
than the summer rates, whereas
American rates are unchanged. Until
the close of navigation in the lakes,
Canadian and American stations in
the same longitude enjoy about the
same rates within certain limits.]
by way Of facilitating the study Of
the subject in Minnesota, Dakota, and
generally among the interested, the
following figures have been extracted
from the schedules:

cial mention of the lower wheat rates

Why They Go to Canada.
Americans engaged in selling lands
Of Manitoba and the more westerly
Canadian territories are wont to as
cribe the considerable emigration Of
American farmers to Canada mainly
to the following causes: (D Little at

the uncropped or virgin prairies Of

they yield more and better wheat than
more southerly prairies because of
the length Of sunlight per day during
the growing season increases as agri-
culture moves north; (6) the immi-
grafton literature of Canada is at

"A ninth main cause may reside in

much more favorable to settlers than
those of the Hill system, i. e., the
