SEES NEW HOPE OF SUCCESS
Representative Lloyd Says Republican
Strife Will Aid Democrats.

Chicago, Aug 20.-Congressman
James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chairman
of the Democratic national congress
sional committee, who opened the
Chicago headquarters at the Auditor
ium Annex, sees In progressive
growth a new hope for Democratic
success this fall.
Mr.. Lloyd believes that every time
a progressive candidate bowls over a
regular Republican in these primary
fights 1t only opens wider the breach
between the two factions in the Re
publican party.
How can we help profiting from
this factional strife in the Republican
ranks" asked the Democratic chair
man. Hasn't 1t always been the
case that where one of the old parties
got to fighting in its own household
the other party reaped the benefitP'

ANNEXATION IS
CANADA'S DESTINY
Course Advocated by Dominion
Member Of Parliament.

Antagonist, N. g., Aug 20.-Annex-
alton of Canada to the United States
was advocated in an address by Henry
Bourassa, M. p, the Nationalist leader
of Quebec, before the summer school
of science of ST. Francis Xavier col
lege
The speaker dwelt at length with
the four possible destinies of Canada,
namely: Remaining in the position
In which she is at present, which he
regarded as very improbable; impe-
rial federation, which would be an un-
wieldy and unworkable condition; an
nexation to the United States and in
dependence.
Imperial federation means an i'm
perial council with a preponderant
British influence" said Mr.. Bourassa
Conditions today In Canada make for
annexation rather than for imperial
federation. The penetrative influence
of trade by rail and coastal lines. the
mental propensity of the two peoples
living under the same or similar con-
ditions, Industrial and social, the con-
slant Accommodation of Cana
dians and Americans, are all powerful
factors making for annexation

TWO HUNDRED FIRES so FAR
Millions of Feet of Timber Burned in
the Far West

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 20.-Only about
four million feet of first class green
standing timber has been destroyed by
forest fires in Western Washington
this season, according to compilations
made by ID. p. Simmons, chief warden
of the Washington Forest association.
About 10000 acres have been burned
over this season west of the Cascade
mountains, large part of which, how
ever, was logged off In addition to
the green timber Mr.. Simmons says
that thousands of cords of firewood
and shingle bolts and many fallen
trees that might have been cut into
logs have been burned.
So far about 200 forest fires have
been reported in Western Washington
The association in it's fight against
fires has employed 500 men, in addi-
tion to the 125 rangers and patrolmen
constantly on duty, and has built fifty
miles of trail The sums spent so far
in saving timber total $4,000.

BETTER THAN WAS EXPECTED
North Dakota Grain Crop Exceeds
Early Predictions.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 19.-There
are few reports from counties of the
state that show smaller yield of
grain than had been anticipated, most
OF them showing that the crop har-
vested will be larger than the earliest
reports indicated.
Rains this week have been general
over large section of the state and
these have acted to the betterment
of the forage situation. With warm
weather from now on there will be
good prospects of securing enough hay
for the stock. Already the meadows
are taking on a brighter appearance
and apparently there will be even
greater improvements in the situation
during the coming few days. Corn is
showing up in splendid shape

Railroads to Abolish Drinking Cups In
Wisconsin.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-As a result of
the agitation against common drinking
cups travellers on Wisconsin trains
will discover after Sept l that the
railroads no longer furnish them. Or
ders have gone out from the general
Offices of all roads which run into that
state that trainmen shall put the pub
lie drinking cups, now supplied for the
benefit of thirsty passengers, in hiding
when they cross the state line and not
take them out again until another

that common drinking cups are dan
gerous and communicate infectious
