4 few QUERIES FOR Mr.. JACOBSON
Which He May Be Asked to Answe,
DURING His Visit to the Rance.

1t is given out that J. F. Jacobson,
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor of Minnesota-a state that
leads in the production of iron ore
is to visit the ranges the coming
week.
During this visit it might be per-
m'ssible for the range voters to ask
Mr. Jacobson a few pointed cues.
tlons touching upon his past rec.
ord, on which he has announced
himself as running, as regards the
imposition of a tonnage tax on iron
ore in lieu of all other tax thereon
subject that is of greater import
to the workingman and the home
owners of range communities than
is the political affiliations and be.
llets of the governor OF this great
commonwealth.
Assuming that Mr.. Jacobson's az.
sertion was correct when he stated
that he was running ION his record"
they might ask him whether or not.
at the legislative session of 1897, he
did not introduce bill providing
tor a tonnage tax of cents per ton
Oh the iron ore output, and if he
did not withdraw this measure in
favor of a similar bill introduced
by southern Minnesota legislator
named Reeves which provided for
tonnage tax of 8 cents instead of 5
cents per ton.
They might ask him whether or
not he supported the Reeves bill in
the house. assisting in carrying the
measure in the house, which meas.
ure failed to become law because it
was killed in the senate.
They might ask him if, at the ses.
sion of the legislature in 1901. he
o1d not introduce measure provid.

They might ask him if, at the last
session of the legislature, although
not a member of that body, he did
not 60 to st. Paul and remain there
for weeks lobbying in behalf of a

They might ask him if he has
changed his views since that time

ton, as exemplified in the columns
of the Duluth News Tribune, is act
ing as a political boomerang for
Jacobson among the thinking vot-
ers of the range who recognize that
duty to their home is of greater mo.
ment than is the election of Re.
publican governor; among that
class of voters who realize that in
Jacobson they find a man who has
ever been known as an active and
pernicious advocate of tonnage
tax on iron ore in lieu of all other
taxation, and a man who comes be-
fore them and asks for an election
ION his record" On the other hand
the Democratic platform recon-
tnends the passage of tonnage tax
measure, while the Democratic
nominee has heretofore expressed
himself az opposed to any system
of taxtion which would deprive any
municipality of its Just dnes, and
who now repeats that in case of the
passage of such a measure he, as
governor, would refuse to sign it.

TOBACCO GROWING
IN THESE ISLANDS

New York Tobacco-Excellent prog
ress has been made during the past
year in the experimental culture of
high grade cigar leaf tobacco in the
Hawaiian Islands, according to the
annual report of the special agent in
charge of the agricultural experiment
station of Hamakua. It is stated in
this report that it has now been dem
onstrated absolutely that tobacco OF
good burn, texture. flavor and color
can be produced on commercial scale
and probably at handsome profit in
certain districts in Hawaii, and there
appears to be a strong disposition on
the part of growers to abandon the
culture of coffee in favor of cigar
leaf.
Concerning the tobacco experiments,
the special agent who has direct su-
pervfsion of the work says: The to-
bacco Investigations carried on by the
station are in cooperation with the
Territorial Board of Agriculture and
Forestry, assisted by contributions
from a number of individuals. The
experiments with tobacco were begun
in 1904, and in October, 1865. the first
samples of Hawaiian-grown tobacco
were submitted to expert judges for
examination.
Samples were sent to all parts of
the mainland and about $50 pounds
were made up into cigars for distri-
button in Hawaii. The experts who
examined the tobacco leaf are of the
opinion that it is of good burn and
flavor and that the elasticity, firmness
and general texture place all of the
samples in the wrapper class.
The quality of the leaf is due to
the soil and climate. The tobacco belt
of Hamakua is coincident with that
portion of the mountain slopes where
the clouds gather almost every day in
the year. The mornings are usually
clear. with full sunshine. but before
the heat of midday clouds drift in
from the ocean and rest over the low
er slopes, disappearing again toward
evening. In effect the Hamakua to-
bacco is shade grown, not by virtue
of being planted under cloth tenting.
but because of Mauna Kea's fog bank.
It is tenting that is rolled over the

peg:
Dear Sir-It is with pleasure that
reply to your request. Some years ago
l took up a homestead for myself and
also one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between Rou-
leau and Drinkwater, adjoining the
Moose Jaw Creek is low level and
heavy land We put in 20 acres Of
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre. and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went % bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. ] hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as We intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
TO people who want first-class seed. for
there is no doubt if you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class oats out Of 100 acres. Eighty
aci'es has been fall plowing, which
yielded 90 bushels per acre and 50
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to he acre. These oats are the best
kind that can be raised. We have
shipped three car loads of them, and
got % cents per bushel clear. All our
grain was cut in the last week Of the
month Of August before any frost could
touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring. and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorablc, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself l feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
| am, dear sir, yours truly,
