A PRECEDENT FOR THE coon OF THE COUNTRY.

Secretary of State Root Is now on a mission
that promises to be of great Importance to the
United States and to all the Republicans on the
western hemisphere. It is great departure from
long established custom for a cabinet officer to
visit neighboring countries and discuss with their
administration international affairs but the pres.
ent administration at Washington cares very lit
tie about psecedents so long as the thing con
templated to be done is for the good OF the
country
Mr.. Root is a man OF practical ideas and
since he became the premier Of the administra-
ton he has been looking into the matter of ex-
tending United States trade to the Countries to
the south of us. He has been impressed with the
idea that there is big market IN Central and
south America that is in danger of being monop

SUMMER IN THE NATIONAL CA P1rA1.

In midsummer the great national capital at
Washington is like an overgrOwn country village.
The quiet of its streets and its general somnolent
character are remarked by visitors from an parts
of the country. There Is no rush. no crowd except
at very brief periods during the day. From eight
until nine O'Clock in The morning the street cars
are crowded and a good many people are seen
on the sidewalks but they compose the army Of

Now that the United States government has
made start in the direction of erecting suitable
legation and embassy buildings for our represen-
tatives abroad 1t is hoped that before many years
the United States flag Will fly over property that
this government owns in every prominent capital
abroad. The fact that American ambassadors and
ministers have had to rent their quarters abroad
has been disgrace to the United States diplo-

The experience in Peking during the Boxer
troubles in 1900 made it imperative that this gov

Bellows Falls, VT, Sept. 20.-Mrs.
Hetty Green, after learning of the de-
cision Of the Board Of Appraisers not
to retract their Intention of raising the
valuation of the Green homestead 81, 900
decided today that she will shake the
dust of the village off her feet, perhaps
forever. Villagers believe that she
proposes TO remove the remains of her
husband from the family lot in the
Episcopal Cemetery, and that she will
remove her heirlooms 'from the home
stead which h"s caused the trouble.
Mrs. Green and her daughter, Miss
Sylvia Green, are preparing to move.
The village also laments losing the
prospect of Mrs. Green's ever giving
the town hospital, library or other
benefaction. The town for years has
been her legal residence. 1t has been
Mrs. Green's custom annually to vary
her own statement of taxable property.
Sometimes she has handed in a list for
$4,000, at more generous times she has
submitted 10 times that amount for
listing. This year the appraisers raised
the general town valuation about
81, 200, 600. Mrs. Green's share of the
"ooost" changed the listing of her
homestead from $4,000 to $4,000. She
made a vigorous protest. as did AZ other
citizens who followed her lead, but was
oVerruled.

front of the State capitol at Columbus.
The principal figure of the thousands OF
persons who packed the streets and the
capitol grounds were Mrs. Alice Roose-
vet-Longworth, daughter of the Presi-
dent, who unveiled the statue. The two
principal orators of the occasion were
Justice William r. Day of the United
States Supreme Court and United States
Senator Joh-l W. Daniel of Virginia.
Gen. X. b. Brown of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
head of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and Gen. Joseph w. Kay of New York,
past national commander of the Union
Veterans Legion, and Gov. Harris also
made addresses.
Elaborate preparations were made for
the dedication, but there was no ostenta-
tiOus display or formal parade. An i'm
mense open stand, seating 1000 people,
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting, was erected along the entire
west front of the capitol building, and IL
was occupied by distinguished Buckeyes
from all over Ohio.
Mrs. Longworth and her immediate
party occupied an especially constructed
stand jutting out from the center of the
general stand, and she could thus be cas-
lily seen by all. The wide space of ground
between her and the statue was packed
with people.
The exercises, held on the anniversary
of McKinley's death, opened with an over
trre by Neddermeyer's band, followed by
a sorg by the Republican Glee Club. The

that should greatly quicken the stream
of settlement from the rural districts of
Britain to Canada.
From the Western States, too, valuable
assistance has been received in the work
of harvesting the crop this year, and some
of the finest fields in Saskatchewan and
Alberta have been worked almost exclu-
sively by Americans. So successful has
been the settler from the Western States,
usually, that he is invariably the fore
runner of a colony from that portion Of
the State whence he came, and, through
the new provinces particularly, there is
a very strong representation from North
and South Dakota, Oregon, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Illi-
nois, Missouri and othpr States of the
Union. These are amongst the most ppo-
gressWe settlers, as they come we'll pro-

with stock and machinery, and possessed
of knowledge of western farming which

crop this year would have yielded larger
percentage of increase on the returns of
1905. but there are several causes that
have contributed to keep down the aver
age yield. The greater the number or
new settlers the greater the chance OF In

1t is the newer settler, as rule, who.
his anxiety to break new land, has sown
on this years stubble, and a good aver
age yield cannot be expected on this lani.

to be looked at lightly. Allowing 2o,ooo,-

tity at a little better than 10 cents per

The income of the Western Canadian
farmers this year will be further aug

portion. OF oats alone over 7oOOO,OOO
bushels are claimed. and barley brings to
market over 100000 bushels. An ad-

added to the $oO,OO0,OO0 from wheat, and
the proceeds from dairying and mixed
farming, will contribute very materially
to making agriculture in Western Canada

AMERICANS IN CUBA.
ARMED GUARD FROM U. s.
CRUISER Is LANDED.
Action Is Taken at the Request of
President Palma, Who Feared of
an Uprising in HavEna-TrOOps to
Guard American Interests.

President Palma, in n moment or
panic Thursday, asked for the protec-
ton of American sailors and guns and
130 men were landed from the cruiser
Denver. Commander COlwell of the
Denver and Mr.. Sleeper, the American
charge d'affaires, explain that the sail
ors were landed only to protect Ameri-
can interests. 1t Is admitted, however,
that President Palma asked for protec-
ton, fearing an almost immediate at
tack on Havana from the rebels.
Later in the night Commander Col
we'll was shown press dispatch from
Washington stating that the sailors
from the cruiser Denver had been or
dered to return. He said he believed
he had done right. However, If, after
reaching an understanding of the situa-
ton, the Navy Department ordered the
return of the sailors on board ship, the
order would be carried out.
President Palma and his colleagues
In the government were in state of
demoralized panic when they asked
that the sailors be landed. The rebels
were at the doors of the city and a
large body started to march on Ha-
vana. The report was current that
Pine Guerra, at the head of 5000 men,
would enter the city and that the popu-
lation would rise almost as unit in
his behalf.
The administration already had lost
control of the entire island except GER
tain considerable towns. Havana was
isolated, as the wires were cut In every
direction. All railroads had suddenly

bulletin of the association sizes up the
situation as follows: Wheat, S7,203,OOO
bushels; oats, 75,725,6OO bushels; barley,
1871, ,335.
This is a lower estimate than either of
the others, but we must consider that 1t
Is railway-tour estimate, whilst the
others were made by men in the wheat
field, so to speak and the circumstances
somewhat favor the correspondent and
the local bank manager, respectively, in
his estimate. But there is one point upon
which all agree, and that is that the wheat
crop of 1905 is of excellent quality
throughout that it Is characteristic of
Western Canadas grain and will grade
high all along the line. On this point
American grain men such as ]. +. Whal-
Ion of Minneapolis, Finlay Barral of Chi
-cago, Sheriff Brainerd of Springfield, ILL.,,
and others, are particularly explicit in
their statements.
A careful examination of all the fig
ures at present available would lead us
to believe that the yield will probably be
about 90,O00,OOO bushels. These figures
may seem disappointing to many who be-
lisved that the increased acreage under

Great Harvests In the Canadian
Northwest Bring Unparalleled
Prosperity to the Farmers Of That
Region.

Winnipeg correspondence
For the past four or five weeks the re-
suit of the harvest in the Canadian West
has been an absorbing topic, not only with
tic Canadian people, but with large and
interested number of Americans-millers,
grain dealers and farmers particularly.
To such an extent has this interest in the
Cane dian grain crop been manifested that,
when the Northwest Grain Dealers Asso-
citation left for their trip of inspection,
they were accompanied by a number of
American grain dealers who felt it neces-
-saIy TO have personal knowledge of the
subject.
Two or three weeks ago public state
ment was made by Mr.. Robin, Premier OF
Manitoba in effect that the wheat crop
would reach 10000, 900, and that there
would be fully 100,000,000 for export,
apo at that time there were many who
believed that Mr.. Robins estimate was
we'll within the mark but since then con-
.ditions have changed, and other estimates
hsyc been made. Every possible effort to
get accurate knowledge of the crop has
been put forth in many quarters.
The Winnipeg Free Press put corps
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1906-09-20

OF correspondents in the wheat field for
twenty consecutive days. In this way
thousands of miles were travelled by train
through the wheat district. over 1,4OO
miles were driven through growing wheat,
and 90 pivotal points were visited and
observations made. AS a result of the
work a straight announcement is made
that the wheat acreage is 4,IOO,OOO; that
the average yield is 10 bushels to the
acre; and that the aggregate crop will
reach 9O,25O,0OO.
Bank statements regarding crops are
usually of a dependable character, and
the figures furnished by the Canadian
Bank of Commerce more than endorse
those given by the Free Press. The bank
estimate places the figures at: Wheat,

local marager of the bank who has the
most accurate knowledge of the farming

who usually does the business. Hence
the necessity for careful crop compilation,
Then, there are others who watch the
growing crop with a careful eye-the

\ dispatch from Mr.. Sleeper, Ameri-
can charge at Havana, says it is reported
that 800 insurgents attacked the rural
guards on the morning of Sept. II at
Laza (Santa Clara province) and that
the government lost eighteen men, while
the loss of the insurgents is not known.
The government forces retreated to Sancti
Spiritus. Mr.. Sleeper adds that rumor
is current of an uprising in Camaguay.
The postal service between Santiago and
Havana is interrupted. Mr.. Sleeper's re-
port is based on telegram received from
the American consul at Santiago.
Crisis seems at Hand.
Developments in Cuba indicate that the
rebel forces are growing so strong that
the government cannot successfully cope
with them. The action of President
Palma in asking that American sailors be
sent ashore in Havana shows that he is
in a state of panic. His capital is be-
sieged by the rebels. who have isolated IL

and holding all the roads leading to other
parts of the island. Cienfuegos is sur

rising in Havana against the government
was deemed imminent by President Palma
up to the time the American force was
landed by Commander Colwell of the Den

soon recalled all the Americans except
small legation guard, it may be that the
moral effect of Commander Colwelrs ac-
tion has strengthened somewhat Presi'
