The final returns of the grain pro

value Of the crops to the farmers OF
that country is about 1876 million dol

year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States. will
participate largely In these splendid
returns. and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State In
the Union.
One Of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers OF
Central Canada Is seen In the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher. and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.

these Western Provinces spent the

TOO PAROLE HARRY ORCHARD
Man Convicted of Murder Of Governor
Steunenberg Fears To Leave Jail

Harry Orchard has admitted that
ne was offered his parole from the
Idaho state prison at Boise. The
man convicted of the murder Of
Governor Frank Steunenberg Of
Idaho and now serving life sem
tence for the crime will not accept
the parole.
According to his statement he
fears death from the friends of the
men on whom his confessions cast
suspicious in connection with the
long list of crimes which he asserts
he committed, and regards the walls
of the state prison of Idaho at Boise
as bis best protection.
The story of the alleged parole
offered to Orchard is given out by
"Uncle Alfred" Wright, prison
eveng-li-t, who claims credit for
the conversion of Harry Orchard

The people of the whole North

opinion as to where the great ex-
position should be held to celebrate
the completion of the Panama
Canal. San Franciso is the unani-
nous choice, and Senators and re-
representatives. in Congress from the
Northwestern group of states are go
advised. New Orleans claims to
the exposition are based wholly on a
surrounding population and closer
proximity to the great Eastern
centers. That claim is not sound,
for jamestown and Norfolk had
still greater population to draw
upon, yet the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton was the most complete failure
ever known. San Francisco has
already raised millions, and her
people are earnestly at work for the
Exposition. Both for selfish and
sentimental reasons; the whole
West should back her claims.

The superintendent's brother, d.

Fred Stoos has shown his liter
airy ability and also lack of i'm
ployment. We are in a position
to recommend, the editorship of
these notes to him so that the for

if he be elected he would be a bril-

Today our term of office ends.
Next week the high school will elect
