SEEDING ENDS EARLY.

Winona.-By the middle of the pres
ent week wheat seeding operations in
Southern Minnesota and South Dakota
along the lines of the Northwestern
road will be completed. The second
crop report this year was issued from
the Office of General Agent A. c..
Johnson, of the Northwestern.
1t follows:
During the past week weather con-
ditions have been favorable. Wednes-
day heavy rain with snow and sleet
and the temperature above freezing
over all South Dakota and Western
Minnesota, retarded seeding opera
tons but one day.
Wheat seeding over the entire line
Is per cent completed, and will all be
finished within the next three or four
days, and other seeding operations
are also in progress under favorable
conditions, making the earliest season
known, conditions considered.
The early seeded wheat is now
above the ground over the entire EHe,
much of it above the ground in March,
and with the entire favorable ground
and weather conditions, all grain
seeded will advance'rapidly.

REP. CONVENTION.
STATE REPUBLICANS DECIDE UP
ON LATE DATE FOR STATE
MEETING.
TO BE HELD ON JUNE %
Republican Leaders Who Advocate
Short Campaign Bring About
Change To Later
Date.

st. Paul. - The Republican state
central committee met Saturday in the
Merchants hotel and took luncheon,
the business meeting following. Prac-
tically everything was settled before
the gathering was called to order by
Chairman A. d. Brown, but there was
still some difference over the date for
the convention. Some advocated June
%, and others held out for June Is.
Still others favored July 6, but after
a long discussion June % is selected.
Going to st. Paul.
+ The location will be st. Paul. Sem
timent was strong for that city, and
the Minneapolis invitation was read
without an effort to land the prize for
the metropolis.
There was some debate over the
basis of apportionment, but the favor
tie seemed to be taken on the aver
age vote for seven candidates on the
state ticket in 1908. This makes a
convention of LOTS delegates and
gives Hennepin county only eighty
nine, while Ramsey will have sixty
seven. The cities would get much
better deal under the Taft vote and
protested against the injustice, but
the country members were unwilling
to yield anything to the cities. The
county option influence was strong in
the committee for the smaller conven-
ton because it would reduce the in
fluence of the larger centers.
Will indorse Senator.
No fight developed against the pro-
position of Senator Clapp's friends,
who have resolution prepared to in
clude the Endorsement of senator in
the call. w. H. Grimshaw, United
Staes marshal, and Clapp's manager
in the previous campaigns, sat in the
committee meeting with the proxy of
George H. Sullivan, of Saltwater, to
look after the senator's interest.
1t was expected that June Is would
be the date, but advocates of a short
campaign objected. AS compromise
June % has been decided upon and
the clans will gather in the st. Paul
Auditorium.

MINNEAPOLIS COLISEUM.
Movement to Build Monster Conven'
ton Hall.

Minneapolis. Public unanimous
approval of the project for coliseum
was voiced by Mayor Haynes and a
score of representative men at meet
ing in the Commercial club rooms.
A committee of seven will be ap-
pointed soon to consider the general
architectural scheme of the building,
its cost and location. Means for rails
ing funds are being. considered now
and the committee will begin an i'm
mediate search for site.
Mayor Haynes, Wallace G. Nye,
commissioner of public affairs of the
club, L. B. Edwood, J. F. Conklin and
F. E. Murphy spoke at length on the
proposition and the rest of the gath
ering expressed approval of the
scheme and urged the necessity for
starting building at once.
Mr.. Nye outlined the need for the
building briefly Many applications
are received by the Commercial club
from state and national conventions
and shows the inevitable result in the
past has been that many have been
turned down because of inadequate
space to accommodate them.
Prestige that will accrue to the city
as a convention center, money that
great gatherings will bring to the city,
and the general civic necessity of the
coliseum were discussed at length. 1t
was agreed that dispatch is necessary
because the state conservation and de.
velopment congress will be held in
Minneapolis next winter.
The following composed the booster
committee that started the ball roll
ing. They will hear the report Of the
subcommittee next Monday:

EXCELLENT TRADE in
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe-
cially in the Western Provinces of
Canada, there is a buoyancy in every
line of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
of the past year were what was ex-
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
themselves. Many of them are indie
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is well under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern AL
berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hun
dreds of them, are breaking up the
prairie at tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS soon as
it becomes dark, gangs are changed,
head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast ex-
panse of wheat field. And there Will
be market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
of Western Canada, and it is worth
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
GUS records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and a
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
There will be odd seasons when a
falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
in the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate OF
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin.
ishes. But there are some unreason.
able people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, And at an even faster
rate These same unreasonable peo
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.

STATE WANTS PATENT.
Attorney General Simpson Will Hurry
Title to Swamp Land.

Title to Swamp Land.
ST. Paul.-Attorney General George
T. Simpson has gone to Washington
to present the states side in the
Shevlin-Carpenter timber trespass case
when it comes up for hearing before
the United States supreme court.
Simpson went to Washington early in
March to argue the case, but it was
postponed on account of the Standard
Oil case.
While in Washington, Mr.. Simpson
will also take up with the interior de-
partment the patenting to the state
of about 100000 acres of swamp land
which the state claims in the Indian
reservations. The state claimed about
100000 acres, which had originally
been given to the state in the swamp
land grant, but before it was surveyed
and selected was given to the Indians
in the reservations.
After three or four years of argu-
ment with the interior department,
the states claim has been upheld and
from time to time patents have been
given the state to parts of the land.
At present the state has received the
deed to little over 100000 acres, but
there is nearly as much left. Although
the states claim has been upheld, the
deeds are slow in coming, and State
Auditor Iverson is anxious to get the
patents as soon as possible.
He believes there is considerable
trespassing, as much of the land is
timbered, but until the state gets the
patents this cannot be stopped. Mr..
Iverson and Mr.. Simpson had a con-
ference on the matter yesterday after
noon before Simpson left for Washing
ton.

to oppose the Depew bill for the regu-

president of the Junior Wireless club,

Facing the senators and corporation
lawyers without a trace of embarrass-

passage Of the Depew bill would be
slap in the face of 10000 lads who are
now experimenting with the wireless
transmission of electricity in every part
of the country. He declared that it
would be much to the governments
advantage that these lads be encour-
aged in their experiments, for the
