PLASTERERS MAY

SALT LAKE, July 24-The strike

big Jobs and score of smaller jobs,
we're notified that the plasterers
would not return to work unless the
demands Of the union were granted,
The non-union men employed at
these Jobs were designated as plaster
ers' helpers and were receiving from
81. 30 to $3.50 per day The demand
OF the union was that all men. wheth-
er hod carriers. mixers or wheelers,
should receive 81 per day and all
carry union cards.
Frank Doran, plaster contractor for
the Iillard building. last night said
IL think 1t is one of the most seri-
Gus strikes we have had here. 1t is
not serious from the plasterers stand
point alone, but from the fact that
present indications arc that the strike

unions in the Building Trades coun-

seventy men In the city and twelve

CROP DAMAGE IN
ISOLATED SPOTS

81. PAUL, Mimi, July 2i.-Ohicial
reports from the grain producing sec
tons ot the northwest do not indicate
that the entire wheat crop was suf-
Tered the damage previously report
ed. In Isolated districts, some of
which are OF considerable size, the
crop has already suffered such dam
age as 10 reduce the probable WELD
tn 40 1er cent OF last years crop.
Over the northwest generally there Ia
admitted damage, but the careful in
spection trips of two railway general
managers and score OF wheat ex-
perts during the past ten days indi-
cate that to predict half a crop is TO
credit all the damage reports which
have come In The experts are In.
clined to believe that while farmers
In some sections have suffered to-
tai loss. the total wheat production
oil the northwest this year Will show
a fair crop. while many large sec.
tions Will show n fair to good crop.
A large crop is not expected because
of the heat of the last three weeks.
Reports have come In from few dis
tricts showing that wheat less than a
loot in height is heading out
Weather conditions have improved
and a cooler July In the opinion of
experts who have just come In from
the wheat districts will make i'm
mense progress towards reducing the
damage. Continued hot weather VIII
on the other hand largely increase
the loss. Rain has fallen in many
sections and over the entire north
west there has been a noticeable I'm
provement
st. Paul jObbing houses report that
the business of the past six months
has been the best in their history,
which is regarded as a sufficient In
dication that the damage reports
have overestlmated actual conditions
Cancellations OF orders are not
above normal for this season of the
year. although there have been
number of cases in which country
merchants have requested temporary
suspension OF their orders to ascer-
tain the probable damage and effect
on their local business. The tone
of the wholesale business in all lines,
a great part of which is with the
wheat producing regions, is healthy
and optimistic, with no serious signs
so far that slump is to be antici-
pated.
Local business conditions in st
Paul are typical of the leading Min
uesotn cities, nearly all OF which
would be delt staggering blow by
the failure of the grain crop. Busi-
ness is good in all lines. Retail sales
are picking up, Bank clearings are
S51 100000 in advance OF the cores
pondlng six months last year and
June real estate transfers showed an
increase of S1.250.000. while trans
fers for the six months of the year
Just closed were S2.0o0,Ooo heavier
than a year ago.
Local merchandise business In the
smaller towns is in healthy condi'
ton and merchants are not appre-
hensive.
The northwestern nay crop is ad-
mittedly short. but the loss is COM
pensated by the healthy condition OF
several other important crops

GEO. J. KELLY
BACK FROM
CANADA

What are the prospects Of the
homeseekers in Western Canada?
THIS Is a question asked by many
Ogden people and there have been
lew Definite answers given to II.

Last Great West or the Empire

Ing words its opportunities as a
wheat growing country George j.
Kelly, a wellknown Ogden man, has
Just returned from Northwestern
Canada, and has much TO say con
ceTnine the land and the hopes and
fears of its people
Mr.. Kelly tells OF the country's ad-
vaDtases without emitting the dis
advantages
Saskatchewan and Alberta. the
lands of promise. have a combined
area larger than the combined area
of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Ken
tucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa and Missouri As only
about ten million acres OF this land
Il now under cultivation the country
is practically untouched. For the
most part this country has black clay
soil. not unlike the so-called DOT
tom lands OF the Middle Western
states. This is the wheat. oats. flax
and barley land. No one has tried to
grow corn on the land as the sea
sons are too short for il to mature
Within the prairie grain lands are
tracts of more rolling land describ'
ed as grazing land. There seems to
be plenty of water. although there Is
n scarcity of timber, only scattered
poplar and willow breaking the hor-
izon OF the prairie Here are the
possibilities of success and here also
lUrk the possibilities of barren fail
ure, which must be taken into ac-
count by ogden people who arc con-
tcmplating a homestead In the new
land
Some OF the optimistic settlers Of
the country cling TO the straw of pre-
cedent and say that because the
early frost has never yet caught their
crops II never will II Is the early
frost that Is the great peril of the
country The growing season Is so
short that there is always two weeks
OF anxiety TO the settler. For two
weeks his home Is haunted by the
white spectre of frost and he goes
TO bed with this fear lowering over
his pillow The farmers always have
succeeded in harvesting their fields
tefore they were cut down by boreas,
but there was no farming until five
or six years ago, so that the prece
dent is not yet very certain one
And then the frost has always come as
a cleaner. just after the grain was
safe. 1t is this close race between
man and nature that has deferred
Yaany prospective settlers from taking
up claims In this country.
