General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-

BOOM NORRIS FOR GOVERNOR
Not An Office Seeker, But He Might
BE Drafted

Guthrie, Okla.--A full hedged boom
will be started at the republican state
wide rally here for Joseph II. Nor
riS for governor. As chairman of the
republican state committee he has
achieved such marked strength i'm
cutting the democratic state plurality
to half what it was last year that
republican leaders have decided to
run him in the primary election two
years hence for the republican guber-
Material nomination. G.. G.. Jones
rcpublican-elect from Oklahoma coun-
ty and who has served four terms in
the legislature, probably will be his
republican opponent for the nomina-
ton.
The boom for Norris Is entirely
Gated whether he would consent TO be
candidate. Norris is not an office
seeker and never was a candidate for
any state office until he entered the
race for chairman OF the state COM
mittee.
Joe Norris is one of the young
republicans of the state. He has
lived in Logan county since the open.
ing and is successful farmer and
banker. He has one Of the finest
sheep farms in the country He start
ed rs public stenographsr, served
as clerk of the district court OF Lo-
gan county in the territory by federal
appointment, and was made chairman
OF Congressman McGuires campaign
committee.

EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN.
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni-
peg (Man.) Free Press: THE Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern AL
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about % years, is eXcelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, 60 and over, and most of 1t No.
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. 1t
is probably safe TO say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be At or IS bushels
per acre, and mostly No. / Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop Of S19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price Of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent when a crop or two will pay for
it, and failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British CO.
lumbia for the abundant hay OF the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar.
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan.
tages, and has invested here. and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow"
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers Of that country (and many OF
them are AmeriCans) rich. The Cana.
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
TO give information 10 all who desire
1t about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 100
acres in addition to his 100 home
stead acres, at $500 an acre. and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended It might
be interesting to read what is said of
'''"N ''hh'lS ny lHt EullOI OI l0S
Marshall (MlnnD News s-Messenger.
who made trip through portions of it
III July, 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canadas agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts OF the Provinces of Manitoba,
saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu-
merous drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magniiicence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds Of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul-
uVation, but there is room for mil.
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We cosld see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of the
country"
