the impression that not more than 200

reason for the increase is that moose

At BIG BANQUET IN

N0N,POLITICAL EVENT

ASSOCIATION.

Chicago.-For the first time in the
history of modern politics two rival
candidates for the presidency of the
United States will meet at the same
board and address the same audience.
when William Fl. Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio. and William J. Bryan, Democrat.
of Nebraska, are to be the guests OF
honor at the annual banquet of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce. at the
Auditorium on the evening of October
7th.
This announcement was made Fri
day at the headquarters of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce.
There will be no question as to
which of the candidates will occupy
the right-hand seat. 1t will be occu-
pied by Mr.. Taft at the express wish
and with the full approval of the Dem
ocratic nominee and his friends.
Chairman Mack de clared that Taft, as
recent member of the present ad-
ministratiOn, was clearly entitled to
the place of honor at the feast. The
Ohioan. therefore. will sit at the right
hand of President Hall and the Nebras.
kan on the left.
The meeting of the two candidates
will differ from the meeting of the ma
tional candidates In the state OF ILL
nois forty-eight years ago, when Abra-
ham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas
began their famous debates. by reason
OF the inhibition placed on political
discourse. An attendance OF about
1000 persons is expected at the ban
quet.
In addition to the great banquet
room OF the Auditorium. the rooms ad.
Joining on the ninth floor of the Fine
Arts building have been secured. and
the whole will be thrown together for
/ the occasion.
1t already had been announced that
Taft would open the third convention
OF the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Water

citation OF Commerce will act rs host,
on the afternoon OF October 7th, and

The ong-distance telephone figured

Bryan had retired for the night. but
answered the call. He was Informed

Colorado Mining Convention.

Denver.-The federal forest bureau
was placed on the griddle Friday after
noon and sensational charges, directed
chiefly against rangers in the employ
of the department, flew as thick and
fast as the speakers could utter them.

eminent was denounced as fraud and
a graft and serious menace to the

being cut on reserves here than be-

the prospectOr by tyrannical demands
and ignorance Is preventing hard work
ing miners from securing patents to
valuable stakes, according to some
speakers. The policy OF placing forest
reserves above timber line was scoffed
at. Lively debate on the subject was
brought out by the charges and the
convention was about evenly divided
on the value of the forest service.

Denver.-The State Miners conven.
ton passed a resolution introduced by
Mr.. Myers declaring that 1t is the sense
Of Colorado mining men that the terri
tory embraced within the United States
forestry reserves should not include
mineral lands situated above timber
line, or in sections where trees do not
thrive on account OF the altitude, or the
barren nature OF the land. A resolu-
ton was passed memorializing the next
legislature to pass an effective law
against mining frauds. Another resolu-
ton passed asks the government to be
careful In selecting reservoir sites to
avoid danger of flooding mines.

The following letter was received
recently by A. Robinson, Alderman

tells some valuable information con-
corning barley which will furnish food
Tor reflection by the many farmer
readers of the independent:
Dear Sir: We have been asked by
several of our North Dakota shippers
to give them some advice with refer
ence to growing barley and we make
the following suggestions:
The probabilities are that we will
have thoro cleaning up of this crop
of barley and continuation Of high
prices into the next crop.
Barley is an easy crop on land,
grown. in shorter time than any other
small grain, excellent feed in case it.

season is such that it cannot be har.

ton, and when sown early it is prac'
tically free from frost.

utilized barley for cleaning lands, and
for that reason they receive from 5
to 10 cents per bushel less for their
crop than Southern Minnesota farm
ers. If they will now select their
seed properly and put the crop ON
land free from kingheads and other
foul weeds, they will receive good
prices for the product and will real
lie as they never have before that
barley is one of the very best income
producing crops.
They should understand, however,
that the seed must be mellow in col
or, reasonably plump and entirely
free from foul seeds or smut, and we
advise strongly that the seed be Sc
cured in North Dakota, if possible.
The old idea that seed should be
changed occasionally and brought
from a distance, is mistake. Grain,
like livestock, to be at its best, should
be acclimated and accustomed to the
soil on which it is grown.
Yours truly,

THE INTERNATIONAL TWO CENT STAMP

ONE CANCELLED THE FIRST DAY OF ISSUANCE RECEIVED FROM
 OLD ENGLAND

TUCSON, Oct. 27.-The first evidence that has como to this city of the prac' tical operation of the new international postal agreement, whereby British mail is carried to the United States for a penny (two cents), which went into effect October lst, is a letter received by Henry Melluish.
 The letter was written him by his uncle William Melluish, of Bath, Eng land, and was written on the first day the new postal rate went into effect. Mir. Melluish thought it so important that hc wrote his nephew as follows: "I write you this letter on the first day the two-eent rate goes into effect"
 The envelope bore two half-penny stamps, equalling in value one of our two.eent stamps and ita required but thirteen days to make the trip from Bath, England, to Tucson, Arizona, a distance of over 6,000 miles, which, it s believed, established record for the covering of this distance between the cities in two different continents so far apart.
