It Is Descrieed as Fascinatins-Sturdy
Iceland Ponies.
Many misc onceptions as to Iceland
exist in or country. 1t may surprise
many. says the National Geographic
Magazine, to know that the Icelanders
who have ernigrated to America are
said BY thcir relatives to complain
bitterly Of the extreme cold of our
winters.
Mr. Halldor Bjarnarson, Lutheran
minister Oh the north coast OF Iceland,
writing CT the past winter in his dis
trict, says that at no time did he OBJ
serve the temperature to drop below
zero degrees Fahrenheit. That was
almost en- tAe Arctic circle,
Two Hines of steamships maintain
regular Sllthe.year sailings between
DenmcrS. Scotland and Iceland by
way CT tie Farce islands The single
passage TO Roykjavik. the capital OF
the Island Oh the southwest coast, re-
quires f. n three to four days from
Leith or FIVE TO seven days from Co
pen.asen.
The steamers of these lines are an
nually C, iying more and more tour
lists to an island which is but just be-
coming recognized as one of the most
interestir : and fascinating lands In
the world
Excluding meals, which cost 81 a
day, the round trip fare between eth
er Copenhagen or Leith and Iceland Is
about $50.
Barring the possibility of driving on
narrow carriage road for about one
days ride from tae capital, and possi-
bly, less distance from some of the
smaller towns, all travel must be
made on pony back. Much has been
written about the icelandic pony. He
is individual. a type by himself, and
the word sturdy is his best descrip-
ton.

THE Anti-Saloon league and others
opposed to the saloon are now facing
organized opposition, says the Mime
apolis Journal. As result of the
brewers convention in Milwaukee anti
prohibition leagues are being organic
ed in various states under different
names, ostensibly without support or
knowledge of the organized brewers.
In one state the organization is known
as the Business Mems league. One
method of work is to send out anti
prohibition literature, and to circulate
the prohibition views of eminent
divines. or their doubts of the feast
bility of the reform at the present
time. Free circulation of newspapers
friendly to the saloon is, also looked
out for. A business interest as large
and as valuable as the brewing inter-
est can hardly be expected to remain
quiescent under organized and dan
gerous attack. 1t will be interesting
to see what can be done to stem this
present tide of public feeling

HARMONY PREVAILED.

At the republican state convention
held at Mitchell Tuesday, July l4th,
the warning factions of the party got
together and divided honors. Each
side had part of the officers and
committees. and the presidential
electors were divided evenly. Burk
and Martin both pledge themselves
to support Crawford for the senate.
and Martin was unanimously endors-
ed for the congressional vacancy caus-
ed by the death of Congressman Par
ker
The platform was progressive aud
adds to the national declaration the
three planks mentioned last week, viz:
the guaranty of bank deposits, public
ity of campaign expenses, and the de-
termination of the physical valuation
of railroads.
The platform, summarized, contains
three planks.
Endorsement of the national plat
form and national ticket
Approval Of the Roosevelt policies.
Re affirmation of the first state plat
form adopted at Huron April Z.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

The government July crop report
indicates that the United States will
this year produce, in round figures,
56,000,000 bushels more wheat than
last year, 100000 bushels more
corn, 220,000,000 bushels more oats,
100000 bushels more barley, and
100000 bushels more rye. There is
grain crops promise of 5,l00,000,0O0
bushels, or 36S,000,000 more than
raised in 1907. Considered in this
light it is highly favorable crop re-
port Notwithstanding the percentage
figures showing conditions are lower
generally than they were in June.
Losses in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas are of little consequence. A
decline of only SO per cent during
the month of June is small. The
decline in spring wheat of sc per
cent compared with the June report
was largely occasioned by the loss in
Washington prospects of 28 points as
a result of drought
Total grain production promised is
5,l3l, ,323,000 bushels. The corn crop
with its large acreage figures pros
pect of 2,670,0O0,000 bushels, which
compares with last seasons harvest of
2,592,000,000 bushels. With any bet
terment, not unusual for the corn crop,
this years production could rank with
former big yields. The cat crop
promises to be a liberal one, and
wheat, despite the decline, is likely
to be we'll over the average. Rye and
barley show excellent prospects.
Taken as a whole, the agricultural
outlook is highly encouraging.
The spring wheat promise in the
three northwestern states is excellent
Compared with last month the deter.
ioration amounts to S,52l $50 bushels.
A possible production of 217,932,640
bushels, however, is 62, $40 bushels
greater than the actual harvest last
year.

THE attitude taken by the Huronite
and few others Of the leading ma
chine papers of the state is not
calculated to help along the cause of
harmony in the republican party. 1t
is the duty of every good republican
to accept the will of the majority and
to cease abuse of the candidates nam
eel by that majority. To claim the
nomination Of certain candidates dis
tastful to the individual was the re-
suit of democratic votes is an insult
to both republican and democrats.
Kittredge was no more defeated by
democratic votes than were Glass and
Hall The truth is that none of the
three were the choice of the majority
of the party. The men nominated
are entitled to the support of every re.
publican for the term to which he is
nominated. If the voter does not
want to support one or all of them for
another term, the time to fight them
is during the next campaign, and the
place is at the next primary election.
The family quarrel should be drop
ped.

Mr.. BRYAN has been characterized
by his opponents within his own party
as the man with the steam roller, con-
veying the idea that he crushed all
opposition to himself without con-
sideration for the rights of others.
At the convention this was fully dem
onstrated by the manner in which
the Bryan forces unseated the law
full anti Bryan delegates from Penn
sylvania. That faction was headed
by Guffey, an old and tried democrat
of the Quaker state. The delegates
were elected under primary system
and held certificates of election from
the state. The contestants appeared
and set up the claim that republicans
helped to elect the anti-Bryan dele
gates. The contestants did not sub
NIT scrap of evidence beyond their
own assertion and yet the legally
elected delegates were unseated and
the pretenders given their place. 1t
was a high handed piece of work and
will not look well when put up along
side the planks in the platform de-
manding direct vote of the people
on U. S. senators, and other high
sounding propositions wherein it is
claimed the people are defrauded of
their rights. The manipulating of a
national convention so as to defraud
honestly elected delegates of their
right to vote is defrauding the peo-
pie of their right to an expression Of
their choice for president. for that is
about as near as they ever get TO ex-
pressing a choice.

The prospects are for greater car
shortage during the coming market.
ing season than has ever before been
known. According to government re-
ports the grain production of this
country is to be several hundred mil
lion bushels greater than last year.
The surplus must go to market, and
that takes cars.

CONSIDERING the conduct of affairs
at Denver last week, it is proper to
say that Mr.. Bryan assembled in ma,
tional convention and nominated him
self. There is just one shadow of
sadness in that connection for Bryan
and that is that he could not accept
both first and second places.

THE ORIGIN OF SMITH.

Mr.. Smith of Kansas City has in
formation from historical research
that originally Smith was the name OF
the whole human family. But when
ever someone did something disgrace
ful or proved to be unworthy of To
name of Smith he was compelled to
take some other. This practice con-
tinued many centuries, until the
number of those considered worthy of
the name had greatly diminished,
altho, as the number of their dis
cendants shows there were still good
many. There must be something in
this theory. Who has not heard of
Adam Smith?

A Present For Little Boy Blue.

The Saturday Evening Post printed
in recent issue one of the sweetest
little poems ever written. It Ii. in
e'eed. perfect poem; that at least will
be tho verdict of every one whose
heart is open to receive it; and every
parent of a Little Boy Blue" will un-
darstand it. These verses were written
by j.. w. Foley. Here they are:
Our Neighbor, he calls Inc his Little
Boy Blue
Whenever he goes by our yard;
And he says. good morning" or "how
do you do?'
But sometimes he winks awful hard
I guess lie don't know what my name
really 10,
Or else he forgot, IL he knew;
And my! You would thing am really
part his
He calls me his Little Boy Blue!
Our. Neigibor. he told me that Little
boy bluc
Once stood all his toys in a row..
And said, "Now. don't go till come
back for you
But that was a long time ago.
And one time, at Christmas, when !
had a tree,
He brought me a sled, all brand new
And smiled when he said it was partly
for me ;.' -, 4.,s
And partly for Little Boy Blue.
Our Neighbor, he's not going to have
any tree. -
So he says the best he can.do
Is try to get something to partly give
And partly give Little Boy Blue.
Recause, If he's here. it would make
him SO glad, ''
And he said he knew it was true
That ever and ever so many folks had
A boy just like Little Boy -Blue.,.
Our Nelshbor, he calls me his Little
Boy Blue,
And said he would like to- help trim
Our tree when it came-he would feel
that he knew ..-,. ., >,
D' 1t-was partly for me and for him..
He; said he would fix it with lights, and
wax flowers, 49,.
With popcorn and berries-you see.
He'd like to come over and help to trim
ours
: He's not going to have any tree!
