overseer would have the right to drain
the lakes. Mr.. Cooley replied that the
Overseer will have Just the same au-
thority as he does now.
Mr. Ballard said that as long as the
farmers are allowed to pillow up rod of
road on each side of the road and the
bitches are full of water and the roads
are steep, narrow, squirrel paths, there
is apt to be trouble when automobiles
are met. He favored using the entire
width of the road, when there would be
room for all. 1T will be a long time be-
fore there will be Il thorough drainage
Mr.. Cooley said that where the inter
ests of the public demand the full width
the Oversecr should use it all. \ farmer
cannot encroach on the road so as to
limit the rights of the public. He can
not pillow up bitches.
Mr.. Ballard asked whether the road
overscer would have a right to destroy
the crops to fix the road, where Il farmer
has encroached and has growing crops.
Mr.. Cooley said that this was so, but
that he would be darn mean man
if @he did"
Mr.. Cooley distributed printed reports
on good road making, and promised to.
mail them to all who left their names
with the Commercial club officials.

BRYAN DECLARES HIMSELF
Wants Henry Watterson to Name His
Man for President.

Lincoln, Nav 3l-In his Commoncr,
which will appear on Friday, w. j..
Bryan will launch boldly into the
question of the presidential succession
and the possible candidates on either
ticket. At the beginning, Mr.. Bryan
denounces as flakes" certain stories
sent out, he says from lincoln, and
quoting his friends as speaking for
him. He especially objects to the state
ment that he will not be candidate
in case President Roosevelt is renOmi-
mated. On this subject he says:
"Mr Bryan had not said anything or
done anything shat indicated desire
to have Mr.. Roosevelt elected for a
third term; in fact, the thirdte idea
has been discussed with the same frank
ness that characterizes the discussion
of other questions
Taking up the question of the demo
cratic nominee, Mr.. Bryan quotes
Henry Watterson as saying he can sug-
gest candidate who is ideal and can
unite the party. Mr.. Bryan says:
'.Who is this man whose name is con-
cealed but whose personal fitness and
political pre-eminence are thus vouched
for? Mr.. Bryan does not pose as a
Warwick He has no desire to assume
the role of candidate maker. He mildly
protests against Misrepresentation of
his position by those who prefer some
one else, but he is not eager to have
"a hand i'm the making of a candidate.
"NIr. Watterson owes it to his party
and to his country to bring out his
candidate, one if he has but one, sew
eraI if he has several"

Chicago, June 4.-Deserted by it's
mother, with the mystery of the past
and the greater mystery of the future
as its only heritage, a tiny baby boy
was found in the manger of stable
yesterday afternoon.
No brilliant star of destiny led to its
discovery He was found on wisp of
hay by hOstler, who was guided to the
lowly cradle by the sound of the little
voice. crying out against the dread of
being there alone.
The little lungs cried out for love
yesterday and the little hands that
clutched at the straw on which he lay
and at the coat of the man who came to
him, are all that he has with which to
wiring love and comfort out of the years
that will roll over him.
These and a brief, frantic plea to the
world for sympathy for the unknown
boy, contained in note which fell from
the breast of the founding when he was
picked up. are all.

TIMBER LANDS; In CANADA.

Consul James III. Norman of Three
Rivers has furnished the department OF
commerce some interesting figures rela
tive to the lumber industry in Canada
especially the province of Quebec
Americans were the first to organize
milling companies to build sawmils in
this consular district. Their operations
have continued to this day, and, with
three exceptions, the lumber industry
of Three Rivers may DE said to be in
the hands of Americans or controlled by
American capital. Besides the mills in
Three Rivers, there are ten or more
large mills along the north and south
shores, many of which are controlled by
American capital, and exporting their
products to the United States principal
~.
Canadians are endeayoring to influ-
ence such government measures as may
force some American industries depend
ent OH Canadian forest supplies to trans
plant to the Dominion. The farmers
who have forests to cut, especially i'll
Quebec and Ontario, oppose rigidly
such legislation. The withdrawal of the
United States from the Canadian lumber
market would mean impoverishment to
many of the owners of forest lands.
When the tariff revision was under
discussion in conferences held i'm this
consular district, pulp and paper man
ufacturers advocated an export duty OH
pulp wood, but the farmers successfully
opposed the proposition OH the ground
that cutting pulp wood was the best
means they had to obtain ready money
during the winter months. This entire
export of pulp wood goes to the United
States, but yet it only constitutes TWEEN
ty-fve per cent of the consumption of
the pulp wood used by American paper
mills, viz, 100000 cords per annum.
The Adirondacks supply $4,000 cords,
almost the same amount as Canada.
The premier and minister of crown
lands for Quebec in 1903 said that there
were i'll this Providence 1882 square
miles of crown lands under license and
100000 square miles of absolute forest
not then under license, making a total
of 10000 square miles of crown timber
lands, amounting to l04,OO0,0O0 acres.
Since that date the mileage under IL
cense has increased to over $67 900
square miles, and there are, besides the
vast limits, some 2O,0OO,OOO acres Of
seignueries and patented lots, of which
by far the larger portion is timbered. A
recent estimate of the timber supply in
Quebec alone places the figures for
soft-wood logs at $4,000, 100000 feet;
hard-woo logs, ,2l,O00,0O0,OO0 feet;
pulp wood, 745,000.O0O cords; besides
730,000,000 railroad ties and wood suit
ed only for shingles and fence posts. The
wealth i'm forests of the maritime prov
inces of northern Ontario, of the Pacific
slope, of the Saskatchewan valley, and
the far north is yet to be added.

FAVORABLE IN ITS TENOR
Crop Report Covering the Territory
West Of Winona.
From Tuesdays Dai,


This weeks crop report covering
conditions along the line of the Chi
cago Northwestern road west of Wi
mona is exceedingly favorable in its
tenor, the weather during the week hav-
ing been helpful. The report says:
Since our last report weather con-
dltlons have been exceedingly favorable.
we have had general rains with warm
days and much warmer nights than dur
ing the former week, in fact, the wealth
er can be classed during the past week
as excellent for all growing crops.
Grains of all kinds are growing nice
ly and show no damage of any Kind
whatever, all small grains being much
above ground, including the very lat
est seeding; corn is entirely planted
and the early corn just coming up;
flax has been seeded, but much late
flax will be put in on newly broken
ground.
The acreage will be about the same
as we have anticipated and reported
IN former reports; total increase of to-
tai acreage divided as formerly stated,
the increase being in flax, oats, barley
and corn. with wheat acreage about the
same, but more bread wheat and less
macaron.
This is the most favorable report
we have had the opportunity of making
during the season."
