Wisconsin State Leads in Flax.

wisconsin is represented in the
United States Land and Irrigation ex-
position at Chicago in manner that
l trust will convince many that irriga-
ton is needed at this time only in a
limited way to supply local demand"
says A. D. Campbell, commissioner of
immigration
Last year we made careful study
of the exhibits at the exposition and
could equal any exhibit made there.
This being the case and with more
than 100000 acres Of idle lands,
why should Wisconsin people go to
great distances from our central mar
kets for land upon which to make
homes?
IF Wisconsin people will examine
the records they will see that in such
crops as sugar beets, potatoes, peas
and root crops Wisconsin leads by a
profitable margin in net profits to the
farmer.
And when you come to flax, in
1908 Wisconsin beat her nearest com
petitor, Montana, AZ bushels per
acre, and the largest producer, North
Dakota, over Z bushels per acre. In
1909 the Badger state beat Montana,
again the nearest competitor, 2h
bushels per acre and North Dakota,
again the largest producer, over 5
bushels per acre.
''The average yield of fax per acre
in the United States in 1909 was 94
bushels. Wisconsin's yield led that
by five and one-tenth bushels or Cat
the price December / of $1.35) $688
per acre. At the present price of
$2.68 per bushel November ~ the
difference would be $13.66. We don't
need to boast of our crops, but we
ought to appreciate them"

Record of Civil War Company.

Record of Civil War Company.
Almost complete field records of
Company A, Fifth Wisconsin regi-
ment, in which he served during the
Civil war, are in possession Of Judge
James Anderson of this city, and
after Mr.. Anderson has made dupli-
Gates Of the records for preservation,
he will forward the papers to Madison
to become a part Of the records Of
the State Historical society.
Aaron Gibson, Robinson, Kan, a
former ManitoWOc man, who was a
lieutenant in Company A, forwarded
the records to Mr.. Anderson. There
is a register Of the command with
many names which are familiar here,
Company A having been recruited
from this county almost entirely, and
other papers,
The documents are well preserved,
though age has faded the ink and on
some Of the papers it is hard to make
out the entries.
One of the most interesting of the
documents is that showing the last
assembly in the field before Company
A started for home to be mustered
out. This record bears date Of June,
1864, and gives facts relative to the
companys work on the battlefield, the
dead and wounded in the engagement,
etc. The report shows that the COM
pany had thirty-five privates, lieu
tenant, three sergeants, six corporals
and one wagon or the field and there
were four i'll and seventeen wounded
in the hospital.
The papers mention the death of
several members of the command and
tell of the wounding Of Judge Ander-
son by the explosion of shell.
During the campaign of less than
two months, in May and June, 1854,
Company A used $3.50 rounds of am
munition on the field, according to
this report.

Oscar Herrold, formerly a resident of this city, and a nephew of the late Judge W. H. Fleury, who passed away many years ago, passed through the city yesterday from his home in New York, en route to the Salt River val ley, where, with others, ne has land interests. He will return to this city later, and stated that he will go to the Bradshaw Mountains, where he mad mining interests twenty years ago. He is pleased at again coming to Ari- zona and says that the prominence of the Territory is generally regarded more favorable since the statehood discussion has warmed up. The mining interests are also favOrably regarded by investors in the East, is his re- port. ~'

CAMP
 COMING TO FRONT

Humboldt is rapidly recovering her former prosperous business conditions, and is fast coming to be the most active place in the county, judging from the railroad and other business done to and through that point, was the belief expressed yesterday by Judge E. w. Wells, in a conversation with friends at his office in the Bank of Arizona building. Continuing, Judge Wells stated that the Consoli- dated Arizona Smelling company has infused new life into the mining and industrial interests of the northern part of Arizona. That the enterprise is an assured success is plainly evi- dent to anyone who will take the time to investigate the efficiency of the smelter plant as it is now being operated. The furnace of 500 tons is being run day and night, and mak- ing shipments of high grade copper product. The second furnace IS in process of construction, which will about double the present smelting The company is also build ing a reinforced concrete stack eight

of the Golden West should raise their voices in protest. The only criticism of the resolution as introduced is that it related only to Hindoos and did not include all Asiaties.
 The special importance of the Hin doc invasion is that it is an intrusion of a new and more degraded and dangerous Asiatic element after it had come to seem that the flood of Asiatic undesirables had been check ed. The Chinese are excluded by law. The Japanese are excluded by an understanding, which is satisfae- tory so long as it excludes, but there is nothing in law or international understanding to prevent the entire population of the East Indian penin- sulas from transplanting itself to this state. The report of Labor Com missioner Mckenzie, which shows con ditions to be almost appalling in some sections, not only carefully, re- frains from drawing any lesson from the conditions disclosed, but in the most perfunetory way states that Asiatic labor is essential to the con tinuanee and development of our special industries. That this is gross ly untrue IS proved by the flourish ing state of the same industries else where without Asiatic labor, but it is taken by our Eastern ill wishers as evidence that all Federal inter ference should stop. The Buffalo Ex- press, for example, says that "the time will probably come when this country will treat the Chinese and all Orientals on the same terms that it treats other immigrants. The Denver Republican says that the con ditions disclosed "possibly will result in important notifications of the ex- clusion laws'-and that at the re- quest of the people of California;
 The report is a most misehievous one. The situation is serious. And the Native Sons and all other patri- otie organizations should join in the demand for exclusion of all Asiatic labor.

cen feet in diameter at the base, eleven feet at the top and three hun dred feet high. As soon as completed the company will commence the in- stallment of blast furnaces and will soon be able to handle all kinds of ores shipped to it. The company is now receiving ores from various parts of the Territory and from the state of Nevada.
 The miners and shippers of ores speak in highly favorable terms of the fair treatment and returns for their ores they receive from the shelter, and of the efforts made by Mr. Bennetts and the management to give the best results to the ship pers and to encourage the miners in the devOlpment of their properties.
 Judge Wells states that it is sur prising at the quietness and rapidity with which the company is develop ing its plans and operations, and before we fairly get our eyes opened We will find one of the most enieint smelling plants right at our doors. The company is simply saving wood and saying nothing.

NO MIXTURE OF RACES.

If the resolution introduced into the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons protesting against the admission to this country of Hindoo laborers, was take as a "jOke," as alleged by one member, so much the worse for the Native Sons, says the San Francisco Chronicle. We refuse, however, to believe that the resolution was either introduced or received except as a most serious matter with which the Native Sons, by the very character and objects of their order, are deep ly concerned and can most appropri- ately deal. The institution of a fra ternal order composed entirely of those born in this state implies and IS evidence of patriotism within a larger patriOtism-an especial con cern for the welfare of California within the confines of the greater commonwealth of which California is a member. And as all have seen and therefore know the distressing evils which follow the unrestricted incoming of Asiatic labor, it is emin- nently fitting that the Native Sons

PROBABLY ROOSEVELT WONT.

One of the items in current gossip
 is to the effect that Colonel Roose- welt, when he arrives, will jump right into business and that he will op- pose the plans of Governor Hughes in connection with the extraordinary session of the New York legislature. That session will begin June 20.
 We do not believe that Colonel Roosevelt will do anything of the sort. To be sure, he has no liking for Governor Hughes. The two men appear to have nothing in common, and, in instances, Roosevelt revealed sentiments which are the reverse of those which President Taft has all ways entertained respecting the gov ernor. For all that, however, it seems not probable that Colonel Roosevelt at once, upon his return, will reveal himeslf as the leader of the old New York gang that has been fighting Governor Hughes.
 Once Colonel Roosevelt was gov ernor of New York. He learned then what it was to run up against an aggregation dominated at the time by Boss Platt. He rounded up that states legislature when it proved fractious, summoned it in extra ses- sion and made it take everything back and do the things he called through which ne has passed since he left Albany, it is not a sane pre- that he will make himself the hero of a fight in behalf of a faction which has had the worst of it every time in its clashes with Hughes. s'Gs'2-' ,ttti

METROPOLIS IS AWAITING
 TEDDY

NEW YORK, June 13. What is
 likely to go down as one of the
 greatest races in political history is
 that which is now on among the
 eager politicians of the country to
 be among the first to secure the pri- vate ear of Colonel Theodore Roose- welt, who is due to arrive in New York on his return from his triumpns in Africa and Europe, some time next week.
 Among those concerned with na- tional politics, both Regulars and h. surgents are represented in about equal numbers, although the latter are showing more open anxiety to secure the counsel, and if possible, the aid of the man who is recognized as the most powerful individual polit- ical parsonage of the day.
 A band of twenty of the leading Congressional Insurgents, headed by. Congressman Hamilton Fish, will de- seend on New York about the time the big Hamburg-Ameriean liner, bearing the mighty hunter of wealthy and other big game, pOkes her nose past Sunday Hook. They have engaged elaborate quar- ters at one of the big hotels and will attempt to secure an audience, if only brief one, on the very day of the Colonel's arrival.
 The Regulars, proceeding more eau tiously, are endeavoring through ex- cabinet members and close friends, to arrange for a series of oenfer- enees at Oyster Bay or in this city, a little later. A few fortunate or favored individuals already have had the coveted chance but the politi- ,sl prognostieators reckon that hon DTS thus far are about even, Clifford Pinenot having presented one side ,f the ease to the eI-President dur

AUTOMOBILES HELP HORSES.

When the automobile was first in trodueed horsemen were inclined to regard the motor machine as diamet- rically opposed to horses. 4 decade of use of motor vehicles has practic- ally dissipated the prejudice stimu- lated among horsemen when they were first introduced.
 The motor vehicle has as vet made no impressive effect on the horse in dustry, as the government reported an increase of O0,O0O horses and an ad- vance of $12.55 per head in 1909. 2,200,000 motor ears in operation rep resent around 4,0O0,000 horse power, and the maintenance of these motor machines is less tax on national re- sources than the maintenance of the horses which the power car repre- sents. It would naturally require S. 100000 acres of choice agricultural land to maintain 100000 horses. It hOuiu ldhC O1 bhC DCSI NOl II land of Illinois to maintain the horses which horseless vehicles represent. The economy of motor power in agri- cultural operations is recognized in ithe use of steam and gasoline motor blows, harvesters and threshing ma chimes. Gang power blows. in the wheat belt of the Northwest blow and seed fort yaeres of ground in one day the equivalent of the efficiency of forty horses and twenty men. To sustain the ever-inereasing population of the world more motor power will ultimately be used in agricultural op- erations and the products of the land be diverted to the maintenance of the inhabitants instead of being fed to animal power to cultivate the land.
 The. motor vehicle is but antici- pating necessity which ultimately will be impressively recognized in all parts of the world. A larger use of mechanical power is one of the ele- ments that will relieve congested pop ulation and reduce the cost of liv- ing necessities by increasing the acreage of cereals, vegetables and fruit for public consumption. If the power machines now represent utili- ties that are performing the work of horses the economy of motor ears will be more generally recognized as their number increases.
 Motor machines are the pioneers of the good roads movement, as their efficiency and ease of operation are inspearable from smooth streets and country highways. The farmer good roads and the motor ear is stimulating him to aid in the betterment of rural thoroughfares. Every commonwealth where automo- piles are operated shows rural and improvement of streets and roads. The auto car takes more people into the open air and driving of the machines has become an ultra fashionable pastime.

What ever the result of the. maneuvering it will serve at least to provide en- tertainment for those who are sat isied to be merely spectators of the mad scramble on the part of officers and crews of many political craft flying many different flags.
