WHAT A FORMER OREGON

Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Ore
gon. in Sept, 1904, for the great
Canadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: Il was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch Of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
in the very heart of North America.
The splendid crops of oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece Of this rich soil, and / soon To-
Gated in the Goose Lake country. We
have here a great stretch of the rich,
deep clay loan Of the saskatchewan
a soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re-
tention Of moisture and production OF
the bright No. hard wheat, and
great crops Of oats, barley, fax and po-
tatoes. l had so bushels of oats,
weighing AL lb. to the bushel per
acre. Some Of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. We have alb
done well here, and / could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already. For homesteads one has
to go further west, but the best prai-
rie can be bought here for from $1,000
to $1,000 per acre. The climate is
dry and healthy. This is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather - frosty
nights, and bright. sunny days-ideal
for threshing and hauling out of
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou
sands Of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
"The sight Of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes off in March

To Organize Clerical Force.

Jefferson City.-Representative Av.
erill, of Pemiscot county, introduced
a bill in the house which seeks to re-
organize the legislative clerical force
and prevent criticism in future ses.
sions.
Senators are limited to three ap-
pointees each by the Averiill bill and
each member of the house one ap-
pointee. This in addition to the Sec
retary of the senate and chief clerk
of the house, who are required to be
elected by the respective houses.
These officials are authorized to ap-
point a certain number of assistants.
All appointments must be made in
writing and filed with the secretary
of the senate and chief clerk of the
house. The allowance in each case is
limited to the time actually consumed
in the service of the state.

HadIey Signs His First Bin.

Jefferson City.-Governor Hadley
signed the county school supervision
bill, introduced by Senator McDavid
and passed by both houses Of the leg
islature. 1t is the first and only law
thus far enacted by the forty-fifth gen.
eral assembly.
Representative Huck, of Ste. Gene
We've county, protested against the
governor signing the McDavid bill. He
asked the executive to await action
tomorrow on the Ford bill, which will
come up in the house under special
order of business.
Both the McDavid and Ford bills
contain repeating clauses, and the en-
actment of the Ford bill would have
the effect of multiplying provisions Of
the McDavid law that conflict with it.
Governor Hadley refused to hold up
the McDavid bill, he and State
superintendent of Schools Gass declar-
ing that the law was needed at once
in order that county superintendents
to be elected in April may benefit by
it.
Though Governor Hadley may boast
that county supervision was adopted
under his administration, the Demo
Gratis, through Senator McDavid, may
rightfully claim the honor Of having
fathered the measure.

STATE PLANS LAW
TO CONTROL RATES
PROPOSED BILL EXTENDS SCOPE
OF COMMISSION OVER PAS.
sENGER TRAFFIC.
s-cENT RATE IS RESTORED
Railroads Decide to Make Ruling Ef-
fective in Missouri on April 10
State Is Powerless at
Present.

Jefferson City.-Following the con-
ference of Missouri railroad Off
cials in Chicago, at which it was
decided to restore the Scent passenger
rate, legislation will be proposed Civ
ing power to the railroad and ware
house commission to fix passenger
rates. Under the law, a commissioner
already has power to regulate freight
rates, but additional legislation is nec-
essary to give them the same control
over passenger fares.
This legislation will be drafted in
law which Judge Mcpherson enjoined
the Missouri officials from enforcing.
1t will merely be law extending the
scope of the commission so as to reg
ulate passenger traffic. The commits
sioners can do this legally, it is
claimed here, as long as they do not
attempt to establish the 2-cent rate
from which they are enjoined. 1t
might be fixed at pa or 21a cents, If
the commissioners wanted that rate,
without contempt to Judge McPher-
sons order. But in the bills to be in
troduced on that subject a careful eff
fort will be made to avoid repeal of
the present rate law.
Nothing can be done by the state to
prevent the roads returning to the g.
cent rate so far as litigation is con-
cerned.
The decision of Judge Mcpherson
will be taken to the United States
supreme court, but that appeal does
not prevent the roads from returning
TO their old rate, except from volun-
tary action.
1t is believed in Jefferson City
conference between the railroad Off
cials, Gov. Hadley and Attorney Gen
eral Major will be held.
Attorney General Major has stated
he will meet with the railroads, but
he does not intend to call the meet
ing.
The concensus of opinion among the
officials in Jefferson City is that, re-
gardless of the determination of the
Chicago meeting, the railroads will es-
tablish a lower rate, probably 2h
cents a mile, to prevent the introduc-
ton of bills at this session of the leg
islature investing the railroad commits
sioners to fix passenger rates.

The declared purpose of the Cuban

Puts Lid on Divorce Grounds.

jefferson City.-The divorce mill
will grind slowly in Missouri if the
bill introduced by Representative
Johnson, of Vernon county. in the
house becomes law. 1t limits the
grounds upon which an absolute di-
vorce may be obtained to infidelity.
Countless other reasons now ad-
vanced for the divorce will, under the
Johnson bill, entitle mismated couples
to only legal separations. The pro-
posed law is patterned in many re-
spects after the New York law, said to
be the most drastic divorce statute in
the country.
Another bank guaranty bill bobbed
up in the house. 1t is fostered
Jointly by Representatives Carter and
Miller. Similar bills previously offered
have expired in the committee rooms.

For Marriage Law Change.

Jefferson City-Recorder of Deeds
Joy of st. Louis appeared before the
judiciary committee in advocacy of a
bill amending the marriage license
laws. Mr.. Joy told the committee that
under a strict Interpretation Of the
present law neither a Jewish rabbi nor
a Unitarian minister could legally per-
form the marriage ceremony, as the
law stated that this rite was vested
only in ministers of the Gospel, judges
of the court of record and justices of
the peace. This excluded the rabbi
and the Unitarian, Mr.. Joy continued,
because the one did not believe in
the New Testament, from which the
Gospel was taken, nor the other in
the Trinity. He wants the law so
changed that it will declare that min
listers officiating in any church of God
may perform the marriage ceremony.
