The aggregated areasused by the
Daily Trade Bulletin are somewhat
in excess of those used by the
Department of Agriculture, though
it is about 100000 acres less than
estimated IN 1906. In the southern
portions of Minnesota and South
Dakota the area devoted to wheat is
gradually decreasing-other cereals
and the dairying interest meeting
with more favor. In the northern
portions of these States and in
North Dakota new lands are being
steadily taken up, and the areas
were not much different from those
of one year ago. The lateness of
the season and the high prices pre-
vailing for Barley and Flax Seed en-
courage farmers to enlarge the areas
of these crops.
The lateness of the season, with
unreasonable weather retarding
threshing operations, it is rather
difficult to make reliable estimates
of the average yields. In Mime
sofa, the outturn of the crop was
quite good in a general way-some
sections reporting better yields than
for some years, and decidedly better
than in 1906, the bulk of the crop
being secured in good condition.
The average yield in Minnesota
is larger than reported in 1906, and
smaller in South Dakota and North
Dakota. The counties exhibiting
high averages are mainly those
having small areas.
While the farmers of the North
west may be a little disappointed

Meeting Will Be Held in Bemdii September 26h That viii
BE OF Great Importance to Every Resident of
Northern Minnesota
Governor Johnson Secretary Of State Schma State Auditor
lverson State Engineer Ralph and State immigration
Superintendent Welsh Will Be Here

Arrangements were today CON-
pleted by phone, whereby all the
members of the state drainage board,
Governor johnson, Secretary Schmall,
State Auditor Iverson, State En-
gineer George A. Ralph and Mr..
Welsh, chief of the State Immigra-
tion Bureau, will be in Bemidji on
the afternoon and evening of Sep
tember Goth, the opening day of the
Beltrami County fair.
The proposition of getting these
gentlemen to visit Bemidji and to
hold mass meeting during their
presence here for the purpose of
getting together in the matter of
drainage and north country develop
ment and also state immigration,
was first suggested by Representa-
tive J. J. Opsahl, who took the
matter up with the parties mentioned
while in St. Paul last week, and
started a favorable sentiment in
favor of the meeting.
Since Mr.. Opsahl was in St. Paul,
the situation has been canvassed
pretty thoroughly, with the result
that this morning active measures
were taken to get into touch with all
of the parties who it is proposed to
get to participate in the meeting.
A. G. Rutledge, secretary of the
fair association, took up the matter
personally, over the 'phone, with
state Auditor Iverson, and Frank A..
Day, private secretary of Governor
johnson, this forenoon.
The State Auditor is enthusi-
astically in favor of such a meeting
and will be present, as will also
Secretary of State Schmall, State
Engineer Ralph, and State Immi-
grafton Superintendent Welsh.
Just before noon, Mr.. Day, the
governors private secretary, stated
that he would do all in his power to
have Governor Johnson present at
Bemidji on the first day of the fair.
Mr.. Day said that the governor
was at present in New York, but
that when he returned, if it was
possible in any way whereby he could
so arrange matters as to be in
Bemidji, he would undoubtedly do
so, and that he was now of the
opinion that the governor would be
with US. Il

purpose of inspecting the great
work which has been done, under
Mr.. Hartley's direction, in draining
the wet land surrounding the farm.

night and the next forenoon in
Grand Rapids and will leave for

1t is the intention of the manage
ment of the fair, the commercial
club, and prominent residents, per-
sonally, to meet the members of the
party at the Great Northern depot
and escort them Immediately to the
fair grounds.
A special invitation is being sent
to Hon. G.. G.. Hartley to accom-

WHEAT CROP ESTIMATE OF
NORTHWESTERN STATES
Daily Trade Bulletin of Chicago Gives Beltram County
Average Of Twenty Bushels of Wheat to the Acre
for This Fall

In the Friday, September 18th,
issue of the Daily Trade Bulletin,
published in Chicago by Howard,
Bartels & Co., there is very inter-
esting article on "Wheat in the
Northwest"
In the article is embraced a table,
which shows the estimated yield per
acre of wheat for this fall, and also
the yields for 19O4-5-6, for the
counties in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota.
The publishers of the Daily
Trade Bulletin take pleasure in again
presenting to the breadstuffs trade
an independent estimate of the pro-
duction of wheat in the three North
western states, secured almost exclus-
lively from our own correspondents.
Our reports were more liberal than
in previous years, and little more
IN detail. We are aware that max
ing an estimate of the wheat crop
in that quarter this year is risky,
owing to the unsettled weather and
unfavorable season, and the con-
Aicting opinions of individuals in
the same sections as to the final out
come. The production of spring
and durum wheat, classed under the
name of the former in assessors
returns, makes it extremely difficult
to obtain even approximate proper
tions of each. However, we believe
our correspondents have returned to
us as fair estimates as could be
made under the circumstances, and
we accept them as reliable. 1t must
be remembered, however, that it is
only an estimate, from an independ-
ent source, but from miscellaneous
corps of correspondents.
According to the reports of the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
lngton, comparisons with the Bulle-
tins former estimates indicate some
variation in details while in the
aggregate yields the differences
were not very large. The reports
of the wheat crop for the three

country meeting will send invita-
tlons to the commercial clubs of the
different towns in these northern
counties, also to all private individ-
uals, to come to Bemidji and parti-
cipate in this meeting, which will
undoubtedly be of great beneft,not
only to Bemidji and Beltrami county.
but also to other cities and villa ges
in adjoining counties, from the
Canadian boundary line,. south to
the N. P. railway. ~.
AS the drainage is one of the
most important questions which now
-eonfronts this north country, oppor-
tunity will be afforded for a thorough
discussion of our needs in the pres
ence of the men who are in charge
of state drainage. The good results
that may be derived from this
meeting, under this line, are inesti-
mable. ~. --- ....-g. .... .
= Another matter which can be
taken up at the same time and
place is that of immigration and
development of our resources.
George Welsh, state commissioner
of immigration, will be one of the
members of the visiting delegation.
In discussing the proposed meeting
here, with Mr.. Opshal, Mr.. Welsh
expressed himself as being delighted
with the opportunity which would
be afforded to mix with the people
of this part of the state and to
ascertain the true conditions which
now prevail here. Mr.. Welsh is
anxious to cooperate in every
possible way in inducing settlers to
locate on the tillable lands of north
ern Minnesota, and has expressed a
desire to receive any suggestions
that may assist in building up this
country.
1t is desired that large crowd
be present when these meetings are
held, in order that everybody who
wishes may give his or her idea Of
what can be done for the develop
mentof this country.
Newspapers of the north half of
the state are requested to publish "a
notice of the date of this meeting
and urge upon their readers to visit
Bemidji on that day, as the results
that will be derived from that meet
ing will repay more than one thous-
and fold for the small expenses
incurred in making trip to this
city.

Arouses Curiosity.

Perhaps it would be indelicate OF
Secretary Cortelyou to talk about it,
and for similar reasons the president
may deem it proper not to discuss it,
either in a contradictory or confirma-
tory way Still, it has aroused the
curiosity of politicians and statesmen,
who doubtless will continue to eXhib-
It it until they are satisfied. If it is
true that the president encouraged
Secretary Cortelyou to hold himself in
readiness to enter the presidential list
it would be difficult to place any Gre
dence in some of the stories that have
appeared in certain newspapers late
1y.
It would seem incredtable, for in
stance, that the president now enter
tanned any serious objection to the
Secretarys becoming a rival Of Mr..
Taft and issued his notable announce
ment Wednesday night in order to
head off Cortelyou boom. 1t would
the presidents friends or some of the
chief supporters of the War secretary
could justly allege that the treasury
head was disloyal to his chief when he
began to form his plans to go after the
nomination. Many other statements
appearing in print would also seem
unsupportable by the truth.
But all this is in the nature OF dis
sembling. The salient point is this:
II the president ecquiesced in Mr.. Cor

went so fas as to encourage him tc

To Know Who Roosevelt
FavorS as Nominee.
HAS THE PRESIDENT EN-
COURAGED CORTELYOU?
This Among the Many Other
Questions BefuddIing the
Situation, Has Been Dis
cussed Much in Washington.

Washington, ID. G. Dec. 14.-During
the last few days the president has
succeeded in clarifying the political
atmosphere to an amazing degree, first
by making public the text of his edict
against the advocacy of his renomin-
alton by Federal office holders, and,
second, by reaffirming his declaration
of three years ago that under no cir
cumstances would he accept another
nomination. But there is still one
cloud on what should be clear sky,
and its presence prevents one from OBJ
tanning a clear view of what is. per
haps, the most interesting phase OF
the presidential situation just now.
TO be exact, the politicians are ex-
ceedingly curious to know whether the
president ever encouraged Secretary
Cortelyou to become an aspirant for
the republican nomination in 1908.
A report was in circulation today
that at Oyster Bay last summer the
president had a talk with the head OF
the treasury department on this sub
ject, and it is said. Mr.. COrtelyOu
formed the opinion that his chief
would remain neutral thereafter as
between him and Secretary Taft. Mr.
Cortelyou drew his mantle of reticence
about him when he was asked to con
firm this story or to supply any of the
missing details. But another man
prominent in public life in this city,
whose name for the present must re-
main unrevealed. said it was capable
OF substantiation. The story made
the rounds of high administration cir
cles, and is understood to have reach
ed the executive offices.
