, Winnipeg, Jan. 30-There will 81 be
held at Brandon on Feb. 8 and 9 a gen
eral convention of the Manitoba and
Territorial Grain Dealers associations
and just now local branches all over
the country are meeting and preparing
resolutions to lay before that conven-
tion. It is of note that: not one of
these meetings SO far has even touched
removal Of duty on Canadian wheat 60
ing into the United States. Interest in
this matter seems to be altogether
across the line, The matters that are
agitating Canadian wheat growers are
better transportation facilities and few
er grades Of wheat. -.
Should Secretary Shaw succeed in
having the duty removed from seed
wheat there is no doubt there is plenty
Of it on this side the line to send for
ward, as the grade, steadily improves
as the season. advances. In today's in
spections. for example, out of ffty-three
cars inspected. twenty-eight were of
standard grades. ~ : ..s.r-,-...a -. -:
The domestic trade in -four is very
large and there is also considerable ex.
port trade. Prices were advanced sc
|per sack: on . the fourteenth : of the
month"; and. it has been expected that a
further advance would :: be made, but
/ this has not yet come about. Mo. !
Epatent is quoted at $685. No. q patent,
E$2.75, and No. 3 patent at $2sl5;' these
Eprices are very reasonable in contrast
to- the prices of. the best grades OF

trade is the largest for many years at

The report that Canadian miHers
were asking for the removal Of the
duty on. American oats in order that
they might be,ground in Canada, owing
to- shortage in the Canadian crop abs
occasioned a good deal Of amusement
in the Canadian west The oats crop
this year is from 35,oO0,000 to- &C, 600.
600 bushels and the movement has SO
far been slow because eastern Canada,
having a large crop, and prices being
low, there was no profit in exporting
them. The surplus of No. 2 white oats
is not SO large as usual, but there are
plenty Of milling oats and especially in
the districts around Edmonton, where
oats are staple crop.
The weather in the, west has been
fine. The thermometer has shown a
low range for about q week, but there
have been, no storms and bright sun
shine and blue skies have been the rule
Winnipeg now rejoices in, six or seven

A POLITICAL MIX-UP
Eleventh Ward Aldermen Stir the Ward
Pot With a Big Stick, s

Aldermen Westphal and Peterson,
both democrats, have precipitated an in,
teresting political situation in the
eleventh ward, the queerest and most
unstable ward in the city as regards
politics. = Their appointee for street
commissioner, Adolph Olund, is repub-
publican, and a member of the campaign
committee from the fifth precinct. It
is admitted that he was. named thru the
efforts Of a republican faction: which. OPP
posed both Claus Peterson in 1902 and
y. M. jacobson in 1904, but Olund de-
clares that he is still a republican and
at liberty to vote for the party's nomi-
nee two years hence. -. ~
Westphal and Peterson apparently
desire to acknowledge the valuable
services of the republicans with the
hope of retaining their support two
years hence, but there are loud demo-
cratic objections. -. -
There were. fourteen candidates for
street commissioner in the ward.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS
In THE MAYORS MAIL.

Anonymous letters are becoming
source of great annoyance to Mayor
Jones.
Several Of these epistles are received
daily from persons who want the sa-
loon laws peculiarly applied in some
particular case, or their neighbors ar
rested for making too much noise. Tho
signatures are lacking, the writer's al
ways mention the name of the personl
who has become the object: of their
spite. From now on the mayors secre-
tary will look for the signatures on
all letters, and if they are not there,
they will not be read.

The election Of Thomas Leonard Shev-
lin, Jr., Of Minneapolis, to the captaincy
Of the Yale football team is accounted for
on the ground that he not only knows how
to play football, but his habits are such
that he Is always in condition for work.
He is young and boyish, the story of his
election says, but he has sufficient
strength of character to cut out anything
that will interfere with the maintenance
of the highest degree Of physical health
and strength. and the members of the
athletic association Of Yale are confident
that he will make a good captain. Shevlin
might have been just as exemplary If
he had never played football, but the
game has not been bad thing for him,
at least.

Endorsed by an Old Soldier,

To the Editor Of The Journal.
I heartily indorse your suggestions re-
garding Memorial Day observance and
cooperation by the citizens. Be assured
there will be. no jealousy on the part of
the old "boys." The dearest wish Of our
hearts Is, and long has been, that the
younger generations might become inter-
ested in the beautiful custom which has
prevailed since the war, of strewing with
flowers the graves of our dead comrades.
We believe It to be a good lesson in pat
riotism. In no other way can this Gus
tom be maintained and perpetuated. It
has long been the practice here for the
pupils of the public schools to march to
the cemeteries with the G. A. r. on
Decoration Day with arms full Of aow-
ers, which they strew upon the graves.

Not to be egotistical. but better to
Ihbring, out my point, let me say that
I have visited every state and ter
ritory In the union. have visited
Mexico and other countries on this
side Of the Atlantic. I have visited
lands abroad, and everywhere i went,
I made a special study Of agricultural
conditions. AS q result OF these in
yestigations, covering a period Of
years, have come to the conclusion
that there is not another state or land
where conditions are so favorable to
diversified farming as within the bor-
! ders OF the state Of Minnesota.

constitutions. Most Of the historic
prisoners have been women, poison be-
ing weapon Of weakness; but,
in these days, the science of chem
istry has progressed so-s that poisoning
has become a very easily detected
crime, the fact, however, apparently
not acting as a very powerful deter
rent, as the case Of Jane Toppan sug-
gests. She is now dying in an insane
asylum, with record Of thirty-one vic
Tins Of her art. To incendiarism wom-

does not involve the use of physical
strength equal to man g, exposes to de-

PARTICLES in the ratio Of fifty women
to one hundred men, and are murderers
Of outside parties in the ratio Of nine
to one hundred. According to Quin-
telet, women, in the light Of his inves-
LEGATIONS, conceive and execute guilty
projects on individuals with whom they
are on terms of greatest intimacy, and
her assassina lions are most frequently
in he7 own family. The ratio for the
crime Of infanticide is, according to
Quintelet, 1890 women to 100 men, due
doubtless to the impulse to conceal SEX
uals error by crime, that she may not
be banished from society. The ratio
between the sexes as to poisoning is
ninety-one women to one hundred men.
Some Of the best experts in the crime
of forgery are women, who prefer the
privacy involved.
It has been found that the desire
to appear we'll, we'll dressed and well
adorned, has been most frequently the
cause of the weakening of woman IS

gives them a bare living. Such Gu

One day a young man appeared in the
drug store of Hemiup & Sims on the East
Side with some small nuggets and gold
dust, which he said he had found at a
spring near by. ( The 'store crowd" was
interested, but not convinced. "Gold in
st. Anthony? Not much" they said. They
said the distinguishing yellow stuff
was pyrites. Butathe. druggists made test,
and said the stuff was gold. Then there
was a connection, and a rush to the
gold fields on the upper end of Nicollet
island. Lots went away sup in the frao-
ton of minute. Mr.. O'Brien says:
The news spread like wildfre; the locality was
investigated; crowds gathered; NEW dnds' were
discovered. Within an hour from the time Of
the discovery at least 200 bright tin pans were
seen glistentng in the sunlight washing out

carpenters abandoned their alf-constructed build

for wealth. =. &.Na - -..- .,. .

his moneys worth of joke that time.
