THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Elmer Dover Wants Opinion on
Primary Convention in Ohio.

Secretary Elmer Dover of the republican
national committee has requested Mr..
John W. Yerkes. MIR. Frank S. Streeter
and Mr. Frank b. Kellogg. members of
the subcommittee which prepared the call
for the national convention. for their
opinion upon the applicability of the plan
of a primary. election in Ohio to select
candidates to the convention.
The question has been raised whether
the state central committee of Ohio in
ordering a primary election acted In con.
formity with the call of the national COM
mittee. The point at issue is that II the
national committee should hold that dele
gates TO the convention cannot be elected
except in the manner prescribed in the
cail there might be serious contests be-
fore the convention over the Ohio delega
tion. II is understood that the members
of the subcommittee called upon for their
opinion will present their views 10 Secre-
tary Dover at an early date.
Mr. Dover was confined To his home to-
day with an attack of the grip. II was
satd at national committee headauarters
that no statement will he made until tho
views of all the members of the subcom.
mittee have been submitted.

A GREAT LAND OPENING.

Washington, ID. c., April /, 1908
Special TO The Wauwatosa News: A
number of exceptional opportunities
will be offered this spring by the
Government for enterprising and intel
ligent farmers to secure choice farms
on dozen or more irrigation projects
which'are now nearing completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of the
limits of the unoccupied public domain
1t is doubtful if these opportunities
will ever occur again. 1t is probable,
of the greatest infiuxes of homeseekers
in 1908 that has been witnessed in
many years. The great fertility and
wonderful crop yields from irragated
lands, and the favorable terms the
Government offers settlers, warrants
the belief that before the year closes
not a single farm will be without it's
entrvman. These farms are located
ia North Dakota, Montana. Wyoming
and Nevada.
Uncle Sam has Ale choice 40-acre
farms in Montana which he offers
today, on very easy terms, to practical
farmers who are citizens of the United
States. These farms are in eastern
Montana, in tue beautiful valley of the
Yellowstone River, one of the richest
agricultural sections of the Northwest
Each is located within three miles of a
railroad, and each is irragated by one
of the best irrigation systems in the
world.
The lands lie at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. The climate is
delightful, the soil of exceptional fer,
tility. producing abundant crops when
watered. Wheat. oats, rye, barley ana
alfalfa are the principal crops grown
Alfalfa yields tons per acre and j,
selling today at S5spsr ton in the stack
Apples, small fruits and vegetables Dc

crop is sugar beets, which last year II
the valley yielded nearly $50 per acr,
