Birds Shot With .Water.

Shooting humming bird with the
smallest bird shot made is out of the
question, for the tiniest seeds of lead
would destroy his coat. The only way
in which the bird can be captured for
commercial purposes is to shoot him
with drop of water from a blowgun
or fine jet from a small syringe.
Skillfully directed, the water stuns
him. He falls into a silken net and
before he RECEIVERS consciousness is
suspended over cyanide jar. This
must be done quickly, for If he comes
to his senses before the cyanide Whit
snuffs out his life he is sure to ruin
his plumage in his struggles to escape.
Humming birds vary In size from spec.
linens perhaps half as large as spar
row to those scarcely bigger than a
bee. The quickest eye cannot follow
them In full fight. 1t is only when,
though still flying furiously, they are
practically motionless over flowers
that the best marksman can bring
them to earth. New York Press.

Thursday, the 30th of January, will
be long remembered by the children
and patrons of the Driscol schools,
the occasion being the dedication of
their new four-room building. The
announcement had previously been
made that Governor Burke, State SUI
perintendent Stockwell and Judge
Winchester would be there and give
addresses, and the audience was not
disappointed. Everyone of these gem
tlemen helped to make the program
one long to be remembered.
The exercises commenced with some
excellent music by the local orches-
ira, after which Fl. A. Thomas, presi
dent of the school board, with few
happy remarks introduced Superin-
tendent Stockwell, the principal
speaker of the evening. The 'superin-
tendent's voice was seriously affect

only as a matter of identifying the
bleak perspective left us as an heri
tage by the savage Indian, but as a
matter of great economic value.
Judge Winchester then addressed
the meeting and gave few reminis
cences from the days when he ser
we'd as county superintendent of
schools quarter of a century ago
He had witnessed a great transform
alton during that period of time and
felt very much pleased at the mag
nificent building and equally magnifi.
cent audience he found in Driscoll at
this time.
The county superintendent was the.
called upon and he gave few of his
observations during the past three
years. Three years ago he found in
Driscoll a small school house, but amp.
ly large toe meet the needs of the dis
trict. At that tine he found a few
sanguine men in Driscoll who were
dreaming great things. He did not
expect these dreams to become true
in SO short time. The school house
soon became too small and some urg-
ed that additions be made This was
| abandoned and the idea of new and
up-to-date building began to take root
The law limited the general districts
to loan of $1,000 for a school house
and that would not be enough. The
first thing was to get bill through
the next legislature remedying this
difficulty. This was successfully &C
complished, thanks to our watchfu
state superintendent, and the result
now shows a $500 building.
After some more music by the
school glee club the guests We're in
vited to the basement, where wa.
| spread a banquet. Here more time
| was spent in satisfying our physical
as well as the spiritual needs Mr.
T. R. Matthews, a prominent bushes,
man of the town, acted as POSTMASTER
The good people of Driscoll may fee
proud of the splendid showing the.
have made, and the visitors will al
bear in kind remembrance the cordia
| hospitality accorded them upon thi
occasion.

APPEALED.
In the syllabus by the supreme
court the following application for
a writ of certiorari from Cass county
is denied by the court. In the city
of Fargo a railroad company desired
to become the owner of some, city
lots possessed by R. B. Blakemore
condemnation proceedings were re-
sorted to but in making settlement OF
the matter in district court it appear
ed that there was some $500 in taxes
against the lots which the district
Judge held should be kept out of the
settlement money paid by the rail
road. Blakemore held that the money
should not be kept out and made ap,
plication for the writ as stated above
to bring the matter directly to the
supreme court. Now that the writ
has been denied an appeal must be
taken to get it before the higher
court. The syllabus follows:

county, that Johnson's vote will be
about the same that he received when
he ran against Robert G. Dunn, four
years ago.
St. Louis Disappointment.
st. Louis county has been a disap-
pointment to the Republicans. The
Republican leaders had confidently
expected that they would carry the
city of Duluth, but returns last night
showed that Johnson had carried it
by about 500, although Republican
leaders there claimed that Jacobson
would probably carry the county.
In Hennepin, the Johnson lead may
be considerably lessened by returns
from the country and village pre-
cincts outside of the city of Mime
apolis. Republicans leaders locally,
confidently believed last night that
these returns would cut down John
sons majority very considerably.
From the early returns, 418 pre-

same precincts four years ago gave

Another surprise was the big vote

than Alton b. Parker got four years
ago in his race for the presidency.
William H. Taft, for president, and
John A. Johnson, for governor, ran
neck and neck in many of the city
precincts.
Governor Johnson polled 25,115
votes in Minneapolis yesterday, as
compared with 22,055 of four years
ago, when he defeated Dunn for gov
ernor, and Jacobson yesterday polled
1854 votes. as compared with the
1881 obtained by Dunn in 1904.

Republican opponent almost to the

Minneapolis, Nov. A. Governor
John A. Johnson seems to have been
reelected governor of Minnesota.
w. H. Taft has carried the state over
whelmingly. Returns came in very
slowly last night, but if the ratio is
maintained as given by those re-
ceved, Governor Johnson will have
been reelected by a majority of from

Returns from the country districts
may change this, but the first reports
do not indicate that such a change is
probable.
Confidence was maintained at Re-

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET.
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor = Sir:-Doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields of Western Canada, where such
large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. 1t is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; it will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
35 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their laborS.
An instance has been brought to my
notice Of farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown-who
made net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. 80, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so well adapted to grain-raising,
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. 1t

grant, by paying $500 an acre for it.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc

Agents.
'The development throughout West
ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that Of any other
country in the worlds history" is not
the statement of an optimistic Cana
dian from the banks of the Saskatche-
wan, but of Mr.. Leslie M. Shaw of
New York, eX-SecTetary of the United
States Treasury under the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and President Roose-
welt, and considered one of the ablest
financiers of the United States. Our
railway companies sold good deal
of their land at from three to five dol
lars an acre, and now the owners are
selling the same land at from fifty to
seventy-fve dollars, and buying more
up in Canada at from ten to fifteen"

Express made trip through Western
Canada last August, and was greatly
impressed. He says: zone cannot

prospects. Where l expected to find

is well pleased with them and is ready
