Twenty Years

Grand Island. Neb., July 27-Amid
a turult of cheers from the former
followers of William j. Bryan, Per-
manent Chairman Smyth of the Demo
cratic platform convention, read the
result of a test vote of the gathering
which practically took from Mr. Bry.
an the Democratic leadership of Ne.
braska. which he has maintained fo1
twenty years.
The vote came on motion made
by Congressman G. NJ. Hitchcock. a
candidate for the senatorial nomina-

or minority report of the committee

on his feet at once with a protest

WITH ICE WATER
Alaska Farming ,' Made Posi-
BILE BY Melting Of Frozen
Soil in Summer

Washington, July 27.-Farming by
sub-irrigation and with the moisture
supplied by melting ice is a novel
agricultural method adopted in the
interior of Alaska, according to the
official report of Chief Special Agent
Mckenzie. who supervised the taking
of the recent census in the fourth dis
trict of that territory. The system
is proving surprisingly successful.
Many kinds of vegetables are being
grown, thus rendering living condi-
tions more tolerable in the far nor
thern country. The future is most
promising in this respect, believes
Mr.. Mckenzie.
Not only enumerating the popula-
ton, but gathering statistics on agri-
cultural, mining and manufacturing
conditions was the work Of Mr.. Nc
kenzie. All the concrete facts will
be given in figures which will be given
out later. The census agents re-
marks regarding the farming opera
tions are most interesting. He says
that some homesteads have been TAX
en- up and that on them farming is
conducted on a considerable scale.
Agriculture in this portion of
Alaska is yet in its infancy" says Mr..
Mckenzie, "but 1t has arrived at such
proportions as to be considered al
most wonderful in its results. If all
the returns are taken they will show
very remarkable condition when it
is considered that it is condition ex-
listing within the Arctic circle"
All the growth is attained between
May 20 and September Is. He attrib-
utes the fact that crops ripen not on
ly to the fact that the sun shines
from 16 to "a hours per day. but to
the correlative fact that the plants
are supplied with moisture from be-
meath, where the melting ice affords
a regular and constant supply.
Rain is practically unknown" he
says, "but the necessary moisture
comes from below" The thaw never
extends deeper than three feet and
often not farther than fifteen inches.
but the thaw is regular and the wa
ter supply sufficient to force a rapid
growth.

denouncing the Hitchcock motion as
gag rule" and their opponents de-
claring that individual rule" must not
prevail in the convention. Chairman
Smyth ordered roll call on the
amendment. and the gathering was
silent as the vote of the counties was
called, that would determine the Bry-
an strength.
When two-thirds had been called.
foes of Mr.. Bryan realized that he was
defeated and wave of cheers that
drowned the roll call began. As
Chairman Smyth read the result. 465
delegates sounded fresh volume of
cheers that seemed to indicate their
relief from the uncertainty that had
existed as to the strength which Mr..
Bryan might develop in the conven-
tion. The original motion of Mr..
Hitchcock was then adopted.
While the committee on resolutions
was drafting Its report, Governor Shal
lenberg and Mayor Dahlman of Oma-
ha, rivals for the nomination for gov
ernor, addressed the convention.
Governor Shallenberger announced
his willingness to stand for reelec-
tion on the endorsement of the day.

NORRIS LICKED
FOR CHAIRMAN
Nebraska Republicans Over
whelminglys4 Repudiate In
surgent Representative

Lincoln, Neb., July 21-The plat
form convention of the Republican
party in Nebraska yesterday adopted
a platform strongly endorsing the ad-
ministration of President Taft, ex-
pressing unalterable opposition to
''the system known as Cannonism,"
and hearty sympathy with the "insur-
gent" movement IN and out of con-
gress. The platform includes dec
laration for county option as the meth
cd OF regulating the liquor traffic and
for an amendment to the state con-
stitution providing for direct legisla-
ton. q
AS general proposition. it had
been understood the endorsement of
county option and Of insurgency
were supported by the same people.
In consequence when, at the opening
of the convention at noon United
States Senator Norris Brown. a
"standpatter" was chosen permanent
chairman over Congressman George
w. Norris. a leader in Insurgency
by an overwhelming vote, the rank
and file of the county optionists began
to fear for the fate of their pet reso-
luton.
1t develops however, that while no
compromise is admitted by either side
there was a conference last night at
which Senator Brown assured the op-
tionists of the character of the reso-
ttons committee he would appoint If
he was made. permanent chairman.
The resolutions adopted rtroneI :
endorse the national administration
as we'll as previous Republican ad-
ministrations. and the new tariff law.
A resolution calling for constitu-
tional amendment providing for direct
legislation was adopted.
Near the close Of the convention
Congressman Norris offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Every protest against wrong is
insurging for the right. We are un-
alterably opposed to the system known
as Cannonism and are in hearty SYM
pathy with the insurgent movement
in and out Of congress. We urge our
senators and representatives to make
use of their votes and influence along
progressive lines in the future"
There was a storm of protest when
the resolution was first presented
but when put to vote it was declared
adopted.
The convention then selected the
state central committee and adjourn
ed finally.

the high price charged by the grow

The dog is the favorite carrier

used only on the government trails,
and the reindeer has been found to
be unreliable. .As beast of burden
the reindeer has his limitations" says
Mr.. Mckenzie, and so far has not
proven a substitute for the dog. If
the reindeer wants to work he will
do so, but If not so inclined he will
quit wherever he may he and all the
driving in the world will not get any
thing out of him. Horses are good
on good roads. but the dog will travel
anywhere. The dog will work at any

The total product of the mines was
easily obtained by Mr.. Mckenzie from
the banks, but It was difficult to get
individual RETURNS because of the lack
of method on the part of the mine
owners. Very few keep books except
to show the outline of production and
the food purchased. They are con-
