ciaD The goyernmetn wants to
know why intelligent, well-to-do
farmers from the Mississippi valley
continue to flock to the Canadian
northwest to take up homes under a
foreign flag while inviting and at
tractive opportunities for settlers
are still open in many of the recla-
nation projects of the west. While
there has been a considerable falling
off in the movement from this coun-
try into the northwest territories.
the number of desirable citizens who
are leaving the United States to take
up farms in Canada is large, and
efforts should be made to divert
them in the several sections of our
country where just as good, if not
better, opportunities exist for the
homeseeker.
The national government is a big
land owner, but it does not adver-
tise, while Canada expends large
sums annually for this purpose. Steps
should be taken at this time to &C.
quaint the homeseekers Of this coun-
try with the face that within our
own borders there yet remains many
desirable locations for the home
seeker.
Our great western region in soil,
climate and crop possibilities is su-
perior to the regions farther north,
It possesses better transportation ia
cilities and markets, it is under our
own flag and lis populated by our
own people. Its development adds
to our national greatness and our
strength. Potentially. it is the most
fertile and richest agricultural dis
trict in the world and it is destined
to become the center Of vast popu-
lation which will represent the high
est ideal OF American citizenship. Nc
efforts should be spared to exploit
Its advantages. and its opportuni
ties. 3. VA.
Just at this time the construction
of three national irrigation projects
have progressed to the point where

Tho Century plant.

The century plant, SO named because
OF the popular idea that 1t blooms but
once in hundred years. In one sense
makes good its name, for it blooms
only once, then dies. In the genial
climate of southern California it reach.
es maturity and blooms in fifteen or
twenty years, while Ii colder climates
the period may range from forty to
fifty years. There are many species OF
the agaye family native to northern
Mexico, where It Is called the maguey.
The plant furnishes .spulque. = the ma

blooming the plant throws up a single
stock Of rapid growth the height of
twelve to twenty feet from which the
tassel-like flowers spront forth. This
great flower stalk draws ali the sap

number Of farmers from the middle
west have already taken up their
homes thereon. The letters receive
ed from them by the statistical OF
the reclamation service at Washing
ton indicate faith in the wisdom of
their choice OF location. Two of
these projects are In Montana and
one is in northern Wyoming. Nearly
100000 acres divided into 40 and so
acre farms have been ready for home
seekers. These farms are open to
settlement under the homestead act,
subject to the provisions OF the re-
clamation act. The soil and c1imats
ore such that with the assured water
supply which the government guar
antees maximum haryests are assur-
ed. The intelligent farmer on these
projects is rewarded by larger re-
turns than in humid regions and the
crop production is as diversified as
can be grown in the middle west.
On the Huntley project in Montana
nearly 40 families came from two
townships in Iowa, and their success
this summer is sure to bring a large
number this winter and next spring.
Twenty families month are go-
ing to the shoshone project in Wyonn-
ing, nearly all of whom come from
the middle west. There still remain
farms for several hundred home
builders on these projects. and the
opportunity is worthy Of the careful
consideration of every man who Is
seeking Independence and q life in
the open, where a maximum reward
is assured for his labors. H..

convicted of the murder pf old man
Seidle and his neiee near Bottineau
and who were both sentenced to be
hung, have applied for pardon. This
was one of the most sensational cases
ever tried in the district. The de-
PENDANTS were Indians and the murdel
was a most brutal one. The jury, in
bringing in their verdict, recommend
ed hanging and that sentence was
given them by Judge Goss.

Minnesota, where he was finally cap
tured and brought back for trial.

He arrived late at night, but his com

he was to stay for the night. EARLY
in the morning the occupants of the
house, who included Mrs. Olson and
several children, were awakened by a
peculiar noise outside. Sheriff Lee in
vestigated and found Coyne and an
other man boring a hole through the
wall and pouring kerosene and gaso-
line into the house with the evident
intention of setting it on FIRE.
When the sheriff showed ups a live

until after a lengthy fusilade that the
men were captured. Coyne was given

Secret Price Fixed.

The National Farmers Union in
it's recent annual meeting at Fort
Worth, Texas, fixed price at which
its members will sell their cotton.
What this price is no one knows but
the members of a Union. The At
lanta Georgian says the determina-
ton of the Union to keep the mini
mum price agreed on for cotton Sc
cret is q very wise movement. 1t
leaves the enemies Of the organlza-
ton in the air. 1t disarms them for
fighting the Union, and gives into
the hands Of the actual produces a
very powerful and effective weapon.
Wall Street must realize that here
is a new and potent force to meet.
That it is no chaotic, haphazard body
that works without plan or definite
purpose. The Union has shown that
it has men of brains directing its
destiny, and that it is perfectly able
to care for itself against the mighty
and hitherto scornful captains of Il
nance. The Farmers Union has
made the farmer of America master
on his own affairs. 1t has placed him
in an attitude of independence and
and freedom that he has never
known before.

BETTER Prices Coming.

We believe that cotton will ad-
vance in price in a short time. The
damage reports of the crop from all
parts of the cotton belt indicate that
the crop of 1905 cannot possibly
reach figures which the trade is gen
orally expecting. The probability
of only a normal supply of raw cot
ton this season to meet the worlds
demand for the next twelve months;
and fill the already depicted gaps in
exhausted supplies. should not only
tend to encourage farmers to stand
for good prices, but should advance
the price of cotton even in the face
of "Bearish" manipulation. The
effort of foreign spinners, backed
by speculation, to depress the price
of cotton to s cents within the tRir-
ty days, will fail. There is absolute
ly nothing upon which to base a de-
mand for such low prices, except
the selfish greed of those who might
be personally benefited under such
a contingency. We look for cotton
to advance in price in the next few
weeks.

Robbing the People.

The Portland Oregonian says 'as
an essay on the tariff Mr., Bryan's
Des Moines speech IS admirable. All
that he says, about the iniquity of
Dingleyism is true. l. does cor
rupt the government ty setting up a
business partnership with the pro-
tected interests. 1t puts; the
public Offices up for sale and
causes party success to depend to-
much upon contributions from those
who devour the substance Of The
people. Nor can it be denied that
the tariff has also corrupted busi-
ness. 1t has, taught the protected
interests to look to the government
for their profits insteud of to their
own initiative. 1t has given them
an opportunity to combine for the
explicit object of raising prices and
robbing the consumer. 1t has placed
them in the position of the tax far
mers in France before the Revolu-
ton, who kept two-thirds of the
taxes they collected and handed over
to the stste only one third. For Mr..
Rrpan is-undeniably correct in say
ing that the barons get q large part
of the proceeds Of the tariff tax
which is levied upon certain articles.
II nine tenths Of q protected article
are produced at home and only one
tenth imported, then that one tenth
pays the tax to the government
while the other nine-tenths pay it to
the interests"
