NORTHERN METHODTSTS
FOR LOCAL OPTION

Baltimore, May 27.-The general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church has put itself on record as
endorsing unqualifiedly the work of
the Anti saloon League, and also ia
voring local option. Both of these po-
sitions are new with the church, as
up to this time no special organiza-
ton has had the specific endorsement
OF the church. This result was at
tanned only after one Of the stormiest
meetings yet held, during which the
opponents of the majority report
called to their aid all manner of par
Elementary tactics in their efforts to
defeat it, 1t was contended by the
minority adherents that it was wrong
for the general conference to endorse
any particular organization and also
that it was distinct lowering of the
standard for the church to come out
in favor of local option. The majority
supporters maintained that the Anti
saloon League was worthy of this
recognition, declaring that it is the
organization that is doing the work
for temperance at the present time,
fusing as it does all other societies
and efforts into one. They uphold To-
cal option on the ground that 1t was
to be used toward statewide prohibi-
ton. When the final vote was taken
but 10 out of the entire body of $50
delegates registered in favor of the
minority report.

1t is remarkable that although west

ting this summer great number of
flst-class American farmers the coun-
Try has caused a great deal more BEN

loss. All kinds of southern produce,
in addition to manufactured goods, are

And now with the new link between
Duluth and Winnipeg, there is another
avenue Of business, which will be still
further improved pretty soon by di-

NEW CANADIAN RAILROAD
Shortens Route Between Duluth and
Winnipeg and Facilitates Amer
lean Entry to the Dominion

Duluth, Mimi, May 27.-Special-
A new entrance into western Canada
from the United States was completed
in the first days of this month, when
Duluth got new connection with
Winnipeg and the wheat fields of
Manitoba and Saskatchewan, abou.
which so much has been heard during
the last five or six years. By COM
tination of the Mesaba Iron Range
and the Duluth, Rainy Lake and Win
nipeg railway, conjunction has been
made with the Canadian Northern at
the international boundary at Fort
Frances. so that Duluth which is now
SO miles nearer Winnipeg than by
the former route, via Crookston, be-
comes in sense, Canadian northern
city for business purposes and regu-
lar passenger service will be inaugu-
rated early in June. More wheat may
be expected to be shipped from Du-
luth to eastern lake ports for Europe,
and the city on Lake Superior will
get steadily increasing share of the
business of the Canadian west.
An international Link
In these days of the decline of rail-
tension, this new link of international
transportation is worthy of notice. 1t
happens that in the last monthly re-
turns of all the railways on the con-
tinent, the Canadian Northern Rail-
way has the largest increase Of any
most lines show decreases. This, of
course. is due to the Canadian North
ems position as the principal road to
lie connected with the expansion of
western Canada. 1t is along it's lines
that the greater number of the Amer
lean farmers from the middle western
states have settled. 1t is no wonder
that the hauling of wheat which is
the foundation of the prosperity Of
Canadian western railways has in
creased very rapidly, seeing that SO
many Americans are settled where
they are, for the newcomer from the
states is the man who shows other
Corners, to the far-f1ung plains of the
Saskatchewan valley how to hustle.
He comes in with his couple of teams,
end implements that he has been used
to all his life, and the first summer
breaks $50 acres of land; that, with
good disc narrowing, produces fine
crop of wheat the first season. Lots
of these fellows, who have gone into
the Saskatchewan country, have paid
for their land with the first crop, and
have seen values go up anywhere from
$40 to $50 an acre in two or three
years.
Many Homesteads Available
But the country Is not so big that
the full tide of immigration has not
covered the whole of it, and there are
still great numbers of homesteads
available at some distance from the
railways that have already been built,
end the new tracks that are being laid.
For instance, there has been steady
flow Of settlers to the great Saskatche-
wan plains, which were formerly most
resorted to by the buffalo, the finest
Judges Of pasture. These plains are
between the south and north branches
