PREMIER TALKS
ABOUT MANITOBA
R. P. Robin IN MINNEAPOLIS ON
BUSINESS TRIP.
He Says Winnipeg Business Interests
Are Highly Elated over Prospects Of
Further Prosperity George A. Du-
vigneaud Tells of French Opinion of
the Russian Securities Held in
France.

R. P. Robin, premier Of the province
of Manitoba, was in Minneapolis to-
day on business trip. Mr.. Robin
says the people Of Winnipeg are feel
ing especially good just now, and the
general temper Of the entire Canadian
northwest is one Of genuine cheerful
ness. There is crop lineup that prom
Uses fine returns and naturally the mer-
chants and big jobbers in the larger
centers feel that a period of good sales
same feeling prevails, the Country mer-
chants seeing assurances of prosperity
all around them. All the Canadian
northwest needs is fairly good month
and with favorable weather. the farm n,
ers will have much money in the fall
and may be expected to buy accord
ingly.
Rejoice for Togo.
1T need scarcely say that Winnipeg
is iubilant over Togo's great victory, Q
said Mr.. Robin. IAN overwhelming
majority Of the people have favored
the same as that found on your side Of
the line has ruled in Winnipeg, except
that up our way the mass Of reading
public has kept in closer touch, I think,
| affairs, during the entire war. All lat
est information has been Immediately
absorbed and the people on the whole
have kept themselves thoroly informed
and have followed the daily reports
| with an interest ever increasing. We
all expected that the Japs would win
! the fight, but l do not think anyone
expected the Japanese admiral to do
so thoro a job. !"
Effect on France.
George A. Duvigneaud, of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, who knows France
| both urban and provincial, is inclined
to think that American fnanciers who
have feared panic in Paris as result
of further Russian reverses are under
estimating the ability Of the French
people to withstand financial troubles
1.-The Russian securities held in France
are largely in the hands Of small in
vestors," said Mr.. Duvigneaud, today
the fuli Obligation iiquidated f Ri' he
is unlikely to be disturbed by quota
tions on the Paris bourse. The French
government is also a close observer Of
the affairs Of the Bourse and govern
mental influence is for stability. Con
ditions are different in France, anc
events that, under circumstances like
| those existing in France, might bring or
financial panic in our country, are les!
likely to affect the French investor. L
must also be remembered, in this con
nlection, that altho the great part Of
the Russian debt is held in France, sht
is not in it alone.
"Germany and Holland hold million.
Of Russian bonds. I do not think any
one doubts that Russia, altho terribI,
punished, can, and will, pay up eventu
ally, and while this assurance, remain
the French people instead of selling ou
on price depression, will hold their Rus
sian securities for recovery; or ever
until maturity.''

KANSAS LAW UPHELD.
United States Supreme Court Says
the State Grain Dealers AasOcia-
tIOn IL q Trust.

washington, Feb. 21.-The validity
Of the Kansas antitrust law was up
held by the supreme court Of the
United States in the case Of Edmund J.
Smiley, plaintiff in error, VS.. the state
Of Kansas. Smiley In 1900 was secre-
tary of the State Grain Dealers asso-
citation and the allegation in this case
was that he organized the wheat deal
ers' in the town Of Bison, Rush coun-
ty, into trust to control the price OF
wheat at that place. The supreme
court Of the state sustained the prose-
cution against him and Justice Brew
er's opinion upholds that verdict. He
based his decision on the ground that
the law was in harmony with the pow
er Of the state to control its own po-
lice affairs and therefore not antagon-
istic to the federal constitution.
