Five Mills Levy Lawful.

County commissioners have the
right under the Smith one per cent
law, according to decision rendered
by Judge E. B. Dillon of the Franklin
county common pleas court, to levy
taxes on the county duplicates as high
as five mills for road repair purposes.
Judge Dillon's ruling overthrows the
contention of the state tax commits
sion, which brought the question into
court by filing suit for an Injunction
to restrain Auditor Sayre of Franklin
county from certifying a tax levy of
three-fourths of one mill for road re-
pair, authorized by the county COM
missioners.
The decision has an important bear
ing on the situation in Hamilton and
other counties of the state in which
the commissioners have sought to levy
road tax which would bring the to-
tai levies above the 10-mill limit of the
Smith law. The tax commission con-
tended that the levy could only be
made in the event of emergencies such
as the destruction Of Il road by land
slide or a&ood.

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANScoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. AS his firm have
a turnover of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the Importance
of the spring wheat crop Of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the Importance Of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, as we'll
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success In
almost any portion Of the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character Of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
I'm land Of such great sweep, and
of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same overwhelm-
Ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
1t Is the one absorbing topic Of inter
est and Of conversation during its
growing and It's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of large part Of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower Of their young men to it's op-
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
! is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin Of that ancient Malthusian de-
lusion that population tends to outrun
the means Of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger Of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent Of
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 2O0,Oo0,000 bushels, 30
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months Of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production Of a 200 million
yield Of wheat will not likely be real
ized, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.

praised Ella Flagg Young for her ad-

SEEK ANOTHER MAN
Charles Marzyck Not Believed Muir
derer of ShowInans.

Salina, Kan, Nov. 25.-The officials
at Ellsworth, who have been working
on the case of the Snowman family
murder, have become convinced that
more than one man was implicated in
the murder, and that Charles Marzyck
was not one of them. The officers have
been examining witnesses this week
and are said to have some important
clews. but refuse to discuss them.
Sheriff Bradshaw made a trip to Kan
opoiis Thursday on the case, but is
noncommittal
A new clew hinges on a chamois
case for a cigar clip which formerly
belonged to Marzyck but when he and
Mrs. Vopat were divorced Mrs. Vopat
gave the case to Mrs. Snowman This
case was found in the house nearly
month after the murder, and in a 10
cation that leads the officers to believe
that one of the persons who commit
ted the murder returned to the house
and threw the case into one of the
rooms, having at first taken it away
with him. The cigar clip was found
in the room the day after the murder.
The officials, while noncommittal as
to the new evidence, have expressed
the opinion that the parties who COM
mitted the crime are still in Ellsworth
or near the town and that sooner or
later someone will drop a word which
Will clear up the mystery.
