UNTA REPUBLICANA
En- la Casa de Opera de Duncan el
ueves en- la Noche.

tado de Nuevo Mexico. Sc refiri0 4
la constitution de Oklahoma, que pre-
tende regular todo, que es una cons
tituci6n que esta retardando el inver-
timiento de capital en- aquel estado.
Dijo que la constitution debia pro-
veer los esenciales de un gobierno,
los tres departamentos; legislative
executive, y judicial, y debia de te-
nerse cuidado en- limitar sus poderes.
Que ell documento debe de proveer
para limitar las deudas del estado.
Dijo que ell provisto mas importante
era ell de igualdad absolute entire los
votantes anglo-sajones ehispano-ame-
ricanos, que ningin hombre debe
ser privado de sus derechos causa su
raza mientras que sea tasado para
mantener el gobierno.
Al hablar de la iniciativa y refe-
rendnm, dijo que francamente no sa-
bia 81 era cosa buena o mala. Que
era un experimental. Que los demo-
cratas no querian la iniciativa 8 re-
ferendum para proteier al pueblo, pc.
ro querian usarlos como garrote para
las corporaciones. Dijo que estaban
muy ansiosos de corregir "abusos
que no existent Mostr6 el espiritu
de algunos dem6cratas, especialmen-
te de uno que estan peleado las cor
poraciones, mientras que ell est6 la
cabeza de una que nj tasaci6n paga y
que estd enteramente baio el dominic
de uno dos hombres Y cargaba pre-
clos excesivos de interes.
Ell senior Spiess en- conclusion dijo
que la forma admirable de la consti-
tuci6n es un documento simple. Uno
con suficiente flexeabilidad, para per-
mitir al pueblo despues de su adop-
ci6n pasar tantas leyes como cream
necesarias Y de la cual ell pueblo Sc
sienta orgulloso. Esta clase de cons
tituci6n garantizara soverania para el
pueblo, mientras que 81 es un instru-
mento embarazado con leyes, ell pue.
bio Sc desanimaria por su propia cons
tituci6n de pasar medidas que consi-
deren meriterias y cit6 varios ejem-
plos para iustifcar Ia posici6n.
El discurso DEL senior Spiess fue re-
cibido cen gran aprobasi6n y mpasss

"QUANTITY, QUAIL
lTY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.

The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vious years in proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain Of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing it no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
influences the general reader SO much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 100 million BUSH
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; it may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now fac
tor in the making of prices. If SO to-
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead OF
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 1925 or 100
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 325 to 600 million bush
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels
the greatness of these figures may be
understood We'll, such is a safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and il
has the SOIL Even today the Prov
lnce of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces OF Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat
produces nearly 80 million bushels, OF
upwards of one-tenth of the creates
yield of the United States. And Sas
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of it's development AS Lore
. Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crol

soil equally fertile that is yet to b.

Individually, reports are to hant
of yields of twenty-five, thirty ant
, thirty-five bushels to the acre. Score

some as high as sixty bushels. Tn

A Birds SAVINGS Bank.

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year, invariably in pine tree. Then
he find an acorn, which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for
as a rule, he is not a vegetarian. His
object is storing away the acorns ex
hibits foresight and a knowledge OF
results more akin to reason than tt
instinct The succeeding winter the
acorns remain intact. but, becoming
saturated, are predispDsed to decay
when they are attacked by maggots
which seem to del light in this specia
food.
1t is than that the woodpecke
reaps the harvest his wisdom has pre-
vided. at time when, the ground be
ing covered with snow. he would eS

ZooIcqical Puzzle.

Italian BIOLOGISTS have puzzle to
solve, owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body Of white
bear. which has been brought to Aosta,
1t was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago. and must have been pre-
served by the ice. since il has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
it has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place 6
few days previous to discovery, Al
this would seem to show that theirs
are still white bears in the Alps. ex
petitions are tc be sent to test thu
theory.

COURT HOUSE SENTIMENT.

Our county exchanges, more espec-
tally those outside Of Brookings city,
are waking up to the Importance of
the court house question. Some of
them seem TO be actually alarmed
about it, after having gone and made
a personal investigation OF the situa-
ton. And there is good cause for
alarm. If every voter in this county
would go over to the county seat and
see the dangerous conditions that the
official records are daily exposed to,
there would not be a single vote
against the proposition to build a new
court house, TO be voted on at the
coming November election. It is
sincerely TO be hoped that the voters
OF Brookings county, who have a dis
position to oppose the court house
proposition on any grounds at all will
themselves as to the real merits
OF the thing before they go to the
polls. IF they would do this they
would vote yes even If the vote
called for two hundred thousand dol
lars instead Of one hundred thousand

CONTEST FOR EXPOSITION.

The contest between New Orleans
and San Francisco for the Worlds
Panama Exposition in 1915 runs mer-
rily on. The New Orleans Exposition
committee is distributing throughout
the country a logical point map ac-
cOrding to which there are seventy
cities within an average distance of
900 miles from New Orleans, with a
combined population of 2G,000,000
while within the same average dis
lance of San Francisco there are only
eight cities, having a combined popu-
lation of 1000 900 people. New Or
leans principal claim is hat if the
exposition be given to San Francisco
the people of this country would be
penalized 5000, 00O, 900 in railroad fare
over what it would cost to go to the
Crescent City.

NEW RAILROAD.

Facts have just been made public
concerning a movement that is being
carried on for the projection of a rail
road line from Chamberlain. S. d.,
to Watertown S. d., via Huron and
Bryant. Surveyors are ar work at the
present time between Chamberlain and
Huron, and promoters of the enter
prise state that by the arrival OF
spring co l%struction work will be com
menced. The project is being backed
almost entirely by South Dakota men
under the leadership of A. +. Parsons
of Darlington, Wis. The supposition
is that the new road is to have joint
track relations with the Min
neapolis & st. Louis at Watertown,
and thus direct connections with the
Twin cities will be afforded to the
tributary territory.
