the party, having abandoned his plan
to carry his vice-presidential boom to
Chicago on special train.
In Chicago the delegation will have
its Headquarters at the Auditorium,
where the delegates will also have
rooms. The official badges of the
delegates this year are gorgeous.
They consist of a medallion bearing
on one side the arms of the state
and on the reverse side the words.
Republican National Convention,
Chicago, June 16, 1905" The medal
lion is suspended on heavy. ribbon
of blue, which is the color of the
state. Attached to the ribbon is a
cross bar of gold and blue enamel on
which the word delegate" and "al-
ternate" respectively appear.
The Hughes buttons are very small
and inconspicuous. Instead of the
words "Our Candidate" which gem
orally appear on ante-convention but
tons, the legend "Our Governor oc-
ours.
Senator Platt and several other
delegates instructed for Gov. Hughes
by their congress district conv .ntion,

Their alternates are to take their
places.
Disinterested political mathemati-
clans have gone over the delegates,
and they find that there are exactly
forty-two delegates, including the
four delegates at large. instructed for
Gov. Hughes and that the remain
ing thirty-six delegates are free to
flock in any political pasture. The
old time machinists object to Gen.
Woodford as chairman of the dele
cation, and yet he is an old timer
himself. The real trouble appears
to be objection to a number of Gen.
Woodford's associates in the Hughes
State League in whom the machin
lists profess to see claimants for flu
ture political recognition in the state.
BY precedent and political propriety
Gen. Woodford is entitled to be made
chairman of the delegation, and yet
any attempt TO boost any Hughes
state leader into glittering promi
nence at Chicago as to be thwarted
if the statements made by important
Republicans are truly prophetic.

Washington, d. c., June 12.-
Throughout the East and the far
West, today and tomorrow will wit
ness the gathering of the republican
clans preparatory to leaving for Chi
cago. The New York delegation
leaves at noon today on a special
train and will reach Chicago tomor-
row. Congressman James S. Sher-
man, of Utica, N. Y, who recently
achieved prominence as possible
vice-presidential nominee, will run a
special train of his own. 1t is stated
on good authority that Governor
Hughes name will be presented to
the convention, but all enthusiasm
for the Empire state executive has
apparently vanished and the Hughes
men in the New York delegation are
likely to be only luke warm in push
ing their candidate.
A large party of New England dele
gates will leave Boston tomorrow on
a special train and will land in the
Windy City on Sunday, prepared to
add to the enthusiasm of the Taft
boom. Delegates and politicians from
Maryland, Delaware and other states
will leave Baltimore Sunday. Most
of the delegates from the southeast
ern states will also leave Saturday
and Sunday, as will those of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. Reports from
the far West and the Pacific coast
state that most of the delegations are
now on the way and will probably
reach Chicago Monday.

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH EXPECTED
U. 8. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY WESTERN!
CANADA.

st. Paul, MINI, Feb. g., 190S.-Pres-
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this ear. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and arc
west which are exceptionally favor.
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are Offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on a
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for a couple Of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent Of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January 29th, says:
This winter up to January rs was
nothing short Of a marvel, in fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly rs good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, ETC., were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was
30 little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch vas broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. II there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain a great
start" g.,
Amongst the reports of the yield
Of last year the following extracts are
taken:
H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta, writ
ing on November, 1907, says: II have
10 acres in crop, 30 acres Of wheat and
seven acres of oats. My average yield
Of oats was 35 bushels to the acre,
and of wheat 45 bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre."
]. F. Haycock. Of Magrath, writes
In November: II had 65 acres in win.
ter wheat, which went 60 bushels to
the acre; oats averaged 80 bushels. /
also had IL tons of hay worth $40
per ton. l got 600 bushels of pota.
toes from three acres of land; l got
eight tons per acre from five acres of
sugar beet"
]. F. Bradshaw. of Magrath, had
1000 acres Of winter wheat last year
which averaged 39k bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $3.50; oats,
$11.20 and barley, $25.15.

Pathetic Thought Of Little Girl Who

Mary had for nelghbor a small play
mate. a much.loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back a glance at his
mother. At that instant a trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though It's own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized In a childish way the
added horror Of this one. In her con.

mother sat with sobs in their throats
and tears overfowing, Mary straight
