the news to the outside world, the teA-

daily and weekly mail service which
brings and carries letters to the
friends in distant parts; the schools
headed by college-bred and highly GER

manned by brilliant divines; the clubs;
the social and festive life; what is
there about any of this to give to the

parts of the world the production of
wheat is diminishing today; but as it
diminishes Canada's will increase;
therefore, it is safe to predict that in a
few years from now large part of the
world will be looking to western Can
ada for its wheat supply, and espe-
cially will the United States. In many
parts of western Canada it is possible
to have hundred-mile square OF
wheat, without break. A writer says:
1--WE were driven west and north OF
Moose Jaw through 20 miles OF dead
ripe wheat, acres of stocks and we'll
worked summerfallows. One of these
fields would yield 40 bushels to the
acre, and another man had oats that
would yield 90 or 100 bushels to the
acre. In this district wheat will aver.

1908, but the governor was wise, as
he had been once before when he re-
fused nomination for state senator.
Foresaw Bryan's Reformation.
He saw, when Mr.. Bryan returned
from his trip around the world, that
his denomination was inevitable, and
he realized that to oppose him was to
only hurt his own chances for a fu-
ture nomination by alternating the
Bryan supporters. For this reason he
permitted merely nominal demon
stration and received at the Denver
convention small, although enthus-
iastic, support. He accepted the third
nomination for governor and went on
making the strongest campaign he
could for Mr.. Bryan, as well as for
himself, and the result was shown
when it was seen that Mr.. Taft was
able to carry the state by only $4,000,
or barely one-half of Roosevelt's ma
jority of two years previous.

the attention of magazine editors,

ocratic nomination for president in

rious districts found the farmers and
other citizens without exception
filled with expectant enthusiasm over
this years prospects. No district was
found which could not boast of fields
of 80 bushels per acre wheat, or so to
so bushels per acre oats, and of 40
bushels per acre of barley
1t is not an unusual thing in many
parts of western Canada for farmer
to have 10000 to 10000 bushels of
wheat. In the Rouleau district it is
said that there are several farmers
who will have 10000 bushels of oats
any many fields will return one hum
dred bushels to the acre.
1t takes an army of men to handle
theWestern Canada crop, and it is es-
timated that 10000 people have been
brought in this year to assist in the
great undertaking; there being excur-
sions from the outside world nearly
every day for the past six weeks.

seven miles out of the town of North

IN SEATTLE STOCK SHOW TO COME
TO BOISE

The stock show at the Intermoun
tain fair this year will be the great
est In the history of Idaho, its sue.
cess being doubly assured by the an
nouncement last night at the close o.
the meeting of the directors of the as
ISOLATION that many of the big eastern
herds which have been exhibiting al
Seattle will come to Boise. This fea.
ture, which it is believed will be the
fairs greatest attraction, is made pos
sible for the necessity of stop-ovel
: for the stock between Seattle and
/ Denver.
Herds range from Is to 80 head
and include the best stock of the mosI
foremost breeders of America, and
will include Hereford, Red Poll, Hol.
stein, Galloway and Angus stock
Premiums lists have been amended sc
as to include these and to offer some
special inducement so this stock will
not come in competition with Idaho
herds and so as much of the Seattle
stock show reproduced in Boise as
possible.
Herds Unexcelled
Many Of the herds are unexcelled
on the continent and hive carried
away first prizes at Chicago, Denver,
Des Moines. Portland and Seattle
The directors of the association at
the meeting were unanimous in their
opinion that Idaho should not miss
this opportunity for the greatest stock
show ever held In the interfnountain
country and Secretary w. H. Gibson
was instructed to answer the letter Of
the breeders accepting their offer to
exhibit in Boise for the fair week and
to get into correspondence with Others
who would be making the trip east at
that time with a view to making this
exhibit as extensive as possible.
Will Take Cahnces 5
All breeders offer to take their
chances In the awards, but for Red
Polls and Galloway no premiums had
been advertised and it was for this
reason the owners of herds from this
stock wrote soliciting recognition on
the same basis as other cattle.
The value of such an exhibit, it is
stated, lies in the fact that it will
encourage the raising of better cat
tie in the state and the Introduction Of
breeds which are not raised extensive
ly in Idaho.

strong that she finally gave it up as a
bad job, but not until her money was

She had sold small hotel in Chi

him that his mine in Blaine county

son still assures. her, but she has
come to doubt his statements. She
met him in Chicago where he spent
some time in an endeavor to make a
sale of his mine.
