1t will be seen that the number Of
acres sown to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429, 749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1857, 1897. The to-
tai crop in the cereals mentioned was
9,033, 297 bushels in 1898, and in 1904
it had grown to the magnificent total of
35,413,522. In the year just closed the
forward movement" in the agriculture
of the West has been the wonder and
envy Of the world. New sections of the
country have been placed under tribute
to the pillow and harrow, and the grain
area has been largely increased. This
is particularly the case where it has
been demonstrated that alberta Red"
winter wheat may be successfully
grown, and along the lines of the new
railways towards the center of the
country, where mixed farming prevails.
The future Of the Canadian West is
assured, and for years to come it Is
bound to be the land Of promise to the
agriculturist Of every nation and Of
every cline, and the land Of opportu
nifty to every settler within its bounds.

WHEN the present town govern ment turns over e the incoming board, which will consist of the regular ticket nominated bv both political parties, it will go out of office with the consciousness of having discharged it's duties faith- fully and energetically, accom- plishing much good with limited means. The new government will go ahead and do all they can to handle the government of the town capably, efficiently and ec6nom- ically. And in that work they will be thoroughly efficient, be- cause they are men of business experience, taxpayers who have at heart the best interests ofthe town, and some of them have had ex- perience heretofore upon the town board, the school board, or both. That ticket will be elected because 1t ought to be elected.

ANTAGoNIzING the proposed town hall with a sewer proposition was not necessary at all. The plan for erection of a town hall explicitly aims to erect for the municipality valuable and necessary public building which shall pay for itself without appealing to the taxpayers. A sewer proposition, when determ- ined feasible, will have to be paid by the people in one form or am other If the city builds it there will have to be provided by legis- lative enactment an issue of bonds and taxes to meet interest and q sinking fund. The question of sewerage is not an issue in the
 municipal election, nor can it be
 made an issue If it be feasible no one will oppose measure designed 10 provide the necessary system.

But nobody wants a water franchise, no one wants an electric light franchise. In each case there are two companies who have been given the right to use the public streets for laying their pipes or running their wires, while but one of each exercises those rights.

Mitchell and Harris Confer.

Detroit, June 15.-John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Work CTS of America, was in conference here last night with John Harris, president of the Michigan district, with regard to the 2,500 striking coal miners in Michigan. Both men were reticent about the result of their con- ference. The state board of arbitra- ton which has been in conference two days at Saginaw with the repre- sentatives of the operators and miners accomplished nothing yester. day. The operators adhered to their demand that the miners initiation fee must be reduced from $50 to $la before negotiations on a wage scale can proceed.

THREE DIVORCES GRANTED
In the Gazely Case the Court Reserved
 Decision.

| The final short calendar session of the superior court for the May term was held to-day and a few divorces were ground out. Before taking up the divorcec, however other short mat ters were disposed of. In the contest. ed divorce suit of Elnathan Gazely, against Adelaide Gazely the defend- ant asked for an allowance to de fend the case. She claimed through Attorney Root that she was too poor | to pay lawyer. Too poor, eh salu Attorney O'Neill," the fact is she mas got all the money and we havn't got cent. Only the other day she bought a piano and before that she bought horse and she's got S4oo ln the bank How's that?'
 "Well' said the court, owning a horse may be evidence that she IS poor, I own horse myself, anu ev- erybody laughed at the sally. Decl- sion was reserved. In the divorce suit of Edwin A. Winters against Mabel Rooney Win ters. Miss Bessie Wallace testified that she knew the parties and for some time the defendant has not been seen hereabouts This case was con tinued from Wednesday to give the plaintiff time to furnish further evi- dence. The petition was granted on the grounds of desertion.
 The divorce suit of Alice Leta Wag- her against William C. J. Wagner was then taken up. Attorney Ken nedy represented the plaintiff. The parties were married in February, 1893. and ten years later Wagner de parted for parts unknown. Mrs Wag- ner then moved to Waterville with her little family. her parents living in that place. The witnesses were Mrs Mary l.. Kane. Annie Draper. a sister of the petitioner. her father and mother. John and Elizabeth Cookson and Elizabeth Spencer, Bris- to. Desertion and intemperance was the basis of the suit, and it would seem that Wagner used to stay up nights for fear he would get thirsty in his sleep and not know it. On the grounds of desertion the petition was granted. .---
 Murdock Urkuhart left his family four years ago and not trace has been found of him since. He was a bricklayer and presumably a good one. but he was hard drinker and he had the wanderlust bad. Two weeks after his marriage he aband- oned his bri!e and for months fjs friends were wondering what had be- come of him. As sudden as he had gone he returned. At one time it was supposed he had gone to Scotland. his old home. At times he would he away for months. Then he would re- turn and after a week at home. off he'd go again. The last time he went away all of his friends. and even the union he belonged to tried to locate him. but all was in vain. Mrs Mary Condon, Slmonsville. Mrs Margaret Brennan, North Leonard street: Mrs Hannah !'rquhart and her eldest child. Catherine aged 16. press hand for the Scoville Manufacturing com pany all testified to the defendants peculiar habits of suddenly dropping out of sight and his continued ab- sence for the past four years. Mrs Urquhart was represented by Attor- ney Russell. the petition was granted and she was given the custody of all her seven children.

SERVES HIM RIGHT

A few evenings ago it was raining like "Old Nick" and certain lady told her husband there was no coffee for breakfast and only one drawing of tea for next day. We'll, Hubby put on his coat and hat. took his um- brella and started for the oldest and most reliable tea store in the city . (Phelan's, AZ East Main), but it was raining too hard for such a journey and he dropped into the first grocery store he came to and made his pur- chase and started for home. When he thought how the .'old womano would know he didn't have time to go where she sent him he dropped into a place where they sell drinks (not tea, coffee or buttermilk), and "killed time'' for half an hour, and when he arrived home she asked him If he had drank anything while on his Journey and the naughty "cuss said no, only glass of Phelan s fresh Buttermilk. Then she inquired if it was possible that Phelan put stick in his buttermilk, and the ras- cal said he didn't know. However, next morning the coffee didn't taste like it always does and by hook or crook she found out what he did and sent to our store for some of the nice tasting kind for the rest of the fam fly, but Hubby" has the coffee and tea he purchased all to himself, ana what's worse, he must drink every drop of it himself. Serves him right. Remember, we sell only FRESH but termilk, fresh roasted coffee, new season tea. and our fresh made but ter is o. K. and only 25 cents per pound at

IT WILL CONTROL
Republican Party Will Have
Majority of at Least Three
in Convention.

The election proclamation having
been issued, and the map of the dele
gate districts having been made pub
lie, the politicians are already figuring
on the membership OF the constitu-
tional convention. In this connection
this estimate from the Guthrie cor
respondent of the Kansas City Journ-
al is interesting:
An examination of the map detin-
ing the constitutional delegate dis
tricts of Oklahoma Territory indicates
that the Republicans will elect at
least thirty-eight and possibly forty,
OF the tiftY-five constitutional dele
gates apportioned to this side Of the
state. These figures are based upon
the last vote in each county Of Okla
homa for county officers, and the vote
for Congressional Delegate Mcclure
at the last election. The figures are
obtained by balancing the returns Of
both of these votes. 1t is stated from
a reliable Republican source that In
dian Territory Republicans will elect
twenty of the delegates in the consti-
tutiohal convention, with a possibility
Of securing twenty-six of the fifty-hye
delegates from that side of the state.
The total number Of Republican dele
gates in the constitutional convention
from both territories will be at least
tifty-eight, with a good chance Of the
Republicans electing sixty-six Of the
1l2 delegates IN the convention. This
would give the Republicans working
majority Of ten votes in the constitu-
tional convention, and the most con-
servative estimate would give them i
majority Of three votes.
In compiling these figures the two
districts in Beaver county are assum-
ed to be Democratic. Owing to the
recent immigration, however, from
the north, they may be Republican.
The Usage nation, which will have
two delegates, is an uncertain guam
tity, with a possibility Of it being Re-
publican. The Republicans viii i'm
mediately inaugurate an active cam
paign to elect delegates to the con-
vention, and by systematic campaign
ing they expect to come up to the
maxium figures given here, and possi-
bly, to exceed them. The territorial
committeeman in each county IN Ok

WORK OF BOARD
MEETS APPROVAL
Democratic Editors Are Having the
Task Of Their Lives Finding Some
thing to Criticize About Work

the good editor Of the Leader has
been lead in his attempt to prove
gerrymander where no gerrymander
is? The only two districts which he
complains of as being below the re-
quired population are the Vinita and
Pryor Creek districts These districts,
he claims, are safely Democratic.
Therefore, the gerrymandering board
composed Of Republicans, has deliber-
ately created two small Democratic
districts when, if Brother Amos is
correct, they might have been Jumped
together into only one large Demo-
cratic district. Now isn't that gerry
wandering board the limit? Was
there ever an instance before OF a
board gerrymandering in favor of the
enemy and the enemy admitting it,
and yet having the poor grace to com
plain of it?
But, seriously all attempts to i'm
pugn the work of the districting and
canVassing board turn out, on exami-
nation, to be just about as ridiculous
as the labored attempt Of the Leader.
From the people themselves there
comes not complaint. They realize
that the data available by the board
collected be it remembered, by the
people themselves, regardless of party
is, at best, faulty, but they know from
a study OF the map, that the result
achieved has been as nearly perfect
as possible.
There has been some complaint in
some quarters because Of the fear that
all voters would have to 60 to one
polling place to vote. This is a mis-
taken impression. There will be
twelve voting precincts in each dele
gate district The boundaries of
these precincts viii be announced
later, together with the names of the
judges and clerks in each precinct.
Every voter will be enabled to cast
his vote right at home.
A study of the map discloses the
fact that in the Northern district
TWO of the delegate districts will be
controlled absolutely by the indians,
in case they care 60 control them.
These are Districts &c and 75. In
these two districts the Indian popu-
lation outnumbers the whites and
blacks, and if the Cherokees hold to-
gether they can elect to the coustitu-
tional convention delegates of their
own race and choice.
