Immense Wheat Crop.

1.-THE wheat crop this year will approx
mate 1JO.OOO,O 600 bushels, and fruit is being
largely raised to Offset the California
product The forest fires, however, have
recently devastated a richly populated
section in the fruit district and there have
been large losses through them.
There is great demand in the north
west territories for farming lands. mostly
by our own farmers of the middle west,
who are being gladly welcomed in prefer
ence to the immigrant from the mother
country. Great Inducements are held out
to them to come and they are rapidly TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity.
No" said the consul general. Il shall
not take out naturalization papers and
settle down there as a prosperous farmer.
The states are good enough for me; but
even our own delightful country and our
innate patriotism will not permit an OBJ
servant man TO deny or to overlook the
wonderful resources and prosperity Of the
great far western country where l have
been located for some time.
Il shall. of course. be glad to get back
to my post. for there is always much to
do. and it gives me pleasure to do this
present work of mine.
Consul General sones is looking brown
and we'll. In health he is richly sharing
in the advantages of the country to which
he is now accredited and which moves his
enthusiasm.

GIVEN CORDIAL WELCOME
NORTHWEST CANADA. SETTLED
LARGELY BY AMERICANS.
Consul General Jones Enthusiastic
Over Winnipeg and the Sur,
rounding Country.

DR.. J. E. Jones. formerly of The Star.
but now consul general at Winnipeg. Mani
toba. who has been in the city on official
business for several days. will leave for
Winnipeg tonight.
Dr. Jones was found by a Star reporter
at the New Willard yesterday, where he
was entertaining the Secretary of War at
luncheon and incidentally lauding the
great country to which he is accredited.
Winnipeg" said he. lis the Chicago of
Canada and the gateway to the great far
northwest territories of Manitoba. Sas-
katchewan. Alberta and Assiniboia. 1t is
the distributing point for that wonderful
country, and is destined in time to be one
of the greatest commercial centers in
America.
Settled by Americans.
at is perhaps not generally known
he continued. that these northwest prov
inces were largely settled by Americans.
Why. there are at least quarter of a
million Of our own people there. The
great wheat fields and the hearty wei
come which the Canadians give Ameri-
cans, especially those from the middle
west. who have had experience in farm
ing and know how. besides having the
money 10 10 IL WIFI, are the Incentives
that draw
THE man who developed that great
country and today ranks highest per-
haps in the hearts of its people was an
American. He was James w. Taylor. and
he lived at Winnipeg for twenty-five
years. The people really loved him. and
his painted portrait was the first picture
ever owned by the city.
1.-The people of that country are very
like the Americans in their tastes and
ways. They incline to New York styles
rather than to Londons, and they can pay
for what they want. too. They are a
prosperous people.
winnipeg is not backwoods town by
any means. 1t has between 10000 and
$4,000 inhabitants. $4,000 of whom are
from the states. 1t has model police
force. an up-to-date system of sanitation
and all the comforts and conveniences
that intelligence can suggest or money
buy.
Annexation is dead Dr. Jones de-
clared. Canada has thrown off the
swaddling clothes of province and is
now assuming the lordly garb and strut
of an empire. In five years the popula-
ton in the northwest has doubled. and
it will repeat the trick in the next five
years.

original bill, but that Senator Borah
and his IL assistants convinced the
president of the error of his way.
We judge from the Statesman dis
patch that President Roosevelt, Sen
ators Hepburn and LaFollette had
given little thought to financial leg
1slation. They have, it is true. done
considerable talking, but they didn't
understand. The Presidents ideas
were easily changed. We are given
to understand that the addresses de-
livered by the two Senators were in
spired by Senator Borah. The State
of Idaho should feel proud. At least
we should take great delight in SEN
ator Borah's press agent.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-03-21
BORAH AND SOME OTHERS.

In Wednesdays isue of the Boise
Statesman, appeared a special dis
patch from Washington saying:
Senator Borah and those few
western senators who stood with him
scored a signal victory to-day when
the senate Finance Committee elimi-
mated from. the Aldrich Bill the
clause authorizing the acceptance of
railroad bonds as security for ma
tlonai bank circulation. But for the
steadfast opposition of Borah and -
others, Senator Aldrich's bill would
nave passed the senate with the rail-
road bond feature included"
AS we understand it those twelve
senators included men like Hepburn
and LaFollette and others equally dis
unguished. 1t is gratifying to The
tribune to learn that Idaho's Junior
senator is exercising such wonder
iui influence. 1t is not expected that
United States senator can do much
Tor the first year or two, but Sena-
tor Borah is different. In the same
dispatch 1t states that President
roosevelt was also in favor of the
