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 a 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 well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that it 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:-
"In 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
il 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 its OPP
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 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-
fusion 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 2OO,OOO,00O bushels, so
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
Weld of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when 1 removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. l think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

vict, has made a full and complete

carried it On their backs t~hree-quar-
tiers of a mile to a lot ear Roberson's
house, and there put it in a brush pile
and burned it for two days before they
put it in the house.

STANDING TIMBER
IN HANDS OF few
STANDING TIMBER OF UNITED
STATES IN HANDS OF FEW.
Commissioners Of Corporations Makes
a Revelation-MonopoIy Preg-
nant With Grave Possibilities.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Taft Tues
day transmitted to congress the first
part of the long waited report of Her
bert Knox Smith, commissioner OF
corporations, on the lumber industry
of the United States.
The report presents the first COM
prehensive investigation OF the
amount and ownership of the stand
ing timber Of the country. Deplofing q
concentration of the standing timber
among a few private interests, Com
missioner Smith declares the bulk OF
the timber is being held speculative
ly and is closely connected with rail-
road domination"
The report is effectively sum-
married. in the commissioners letter
of submittal. His conclusion, in "a
forecast of the future, partakes of the
sensational.
There are many great combina-
tons in other industries" says the
commissioner, whose formation is
complete. In the lumber industry, on
the other hand, the bureau finds now
in the making a combination caused,
fundamentally, by a long-standing pub
lie policy. The concentration already
existing is sufficiently impressive.
.In the last forty years concentra-
ton has so proceeded that 1876 hold
ers, many interrelated, now have prac-
tically one-half of the privately owned
timber in the investigation area
(Which contains 80 per cent. of the
whole). This formidable process of
concentration, in timber and land, GER
tainly involves grave future possibili-
ties Of impregnable monopolistic con
ditions, whose far-reaching conse
quences to society it is now difficult
to anticipate fully or to overesti-
mate"
There is now left in continental
United States about 1900, 000, 900, 900
board feet of privately owned stand
ing timber, of which 1,747, 000, 100000
in the investigation was covered in
the great detail by the bureau.
In the Southern pine region there
are GA billion feet Of privately owned
timber. Concentration in total tim
Der is much less than in the Pacific
Northwest. There is, however, a high
concentration in the more valuable
species of long leaf yellow pine and
cypress. Sixty-seven holders own 50
per cent. of the cypress, 10 per cent
of the short leaf and toblolly pine c-i
II per cent. of the hard woods.

ZOE BAILEY DEFENDS
WILLIAM L0RlmER
BOLDLY CHALLENGES HIS AN
TAGoNlsTs TO TESTIFY.
Not proved That Lorimer Had Per.
sonal Connection With Alleged
Corruption.

Neutrality-suspicious. of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois was offered by SEN
ator Bailey of Texas Monday IN q
speech SO powerful that 1t was a
and applauded from time to time by
what was perhaps the largest atteno-
ance of members and spectators that
has been seen on the floor and IN
the galleries of the senate chamber
during the present session of congress.
His plea that the senator o IL
linois be permitted to retain his seat
was of so elaborate a nature and de-
liyered with such force and feryor
that it placed Mr.. Bailey in the CHER
place among the defenders OF MI.
Lorimer.
From the legal and personal point OF
view Mr.. Bailey presented the case
of Mr.. Lorimer. In the main the
speech was a review of the law and
the testimony, but Mr.. Bailey intro
duced many novel and striking feat
ures, not the least startling of which
was the assertion ia forgery had
been resorted to to make a case
case against the Illinois senator.
Mr.. Bailey boldly charged that the
wal on Mr.. Lorimer had been unre-
lenting and personal, and said the ef-
fort had not been SO much to con
vict wrongdoers as to destroy Mr..
Lorimer.
The Illinois was held up as a man
possessed of all the private virtues,
and the Texan asserted more thai
testimony Of selr-confessed bribe-
takers would be necessary to con-
vince him of corrupt practices on the
part of Mr.. Lorimer.
Dealing with the general aspect OF
the case, Senator Bailey entered upon
the consideration Of the law involved.
He laid down these two propositions:
First, if the officer whose election
is challenged, personally participated
In or encouraged or sanctioned the
bribery, then his election is void with
out reference to the extent Of the
bribery.
Second, if the officers whose cleo
ton is challenged did not personally
participate in or encourage or SAN
ton the bribery, then his election
cannot be avoided unless it is shown
by sufficient evidence that enough
votes weer bribed to effect the re-
suit"

SENATORS FIGHT
ANTI-TARIFF BILL
SOUTH PARTICULARLY WATCH
ING ITS PROGRESS.
Bill Aimed at Dealing in Cotton
Futures STANDARDIZATION
Strong in Senate.
Copyright. 1sll)

Washington.-Lively interest is felt,
especially in the South, in the Scott
anti-option bill, now pending in the
senate. The bill is officially and tech
nically known as IAN act to prohibit
interference with commerce among
the states and territories, and with
foreign nations, and to remove OBJ
structions thereto, and to prohibit the
transmission of certain messages by
telegraph, telephone, cable or other
means of communication, between
states and territories ana foreign ma
tons"
Section 3 of this bill makes it un-
lawful for any person to send or cause
to be sent any message Offering to
make or |enter into a contract for
the purchase or sale of cotton with
out intending that such cotton shall
be actually delivered and received,
and provides penalties for violation.
Section 8 makes it the duty of any
person sending any message relating
to a contract for the future delivery
of cotton, to furnish to the person
transmitting the message an affidavit
to the effect that the message does
not relate to the character of con-
tracts described in section 2, and pro-
vides penalties for any false state
ment that may be made in such al
fidavit.
The purpose of the bill is to re-
strict, so far may be those trans
actions on the cotton exchanges of the
country which are recognized as deal
ing only with the fluctuations in prices
and which do not involve the actual
transfer of the commodity.

GEORGE GOULD STEPS DOWN
Forced to Give Up Presidency of
Missouri Pacific,

New York.-Pressed by the Rookie
Teller and Kuhn-Loeb interests, George
]. Gould is shortly to relinquish the
presidency of the Missouri Pacific
Railway Company, a position in which
his father, Jay Gould, placed him
eighteen years ago. He will be sue
ceeded by a railroad man, hot yet
publicly named, who, to quote one Of
the new interests in Missouri Pacific,
will "eat, drink n sleep on the
job
Mr.. Gould himself announced his
forthcoming retirement, which will
take place just as soon as his sue
cessor is chosen.
The fact that Mr.. Gould will be-
come chairman of the board does not
alter the opinion generally held in
financial circles that today's develop
nents mark the passing of the Gould
influence, not only in Missouri Pacific,
but in the various railroads with
which the name of Gould has for SO
many years been identified.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON ANTI-OPTION BILL
VOTE IN SENATE COMMITTEES WAS
six TO FIVE.
Measure ls Observation-Disclosures Sec.
tions Of the House Bill Stricken
Out-Senator Taylor Changes.

Neutrality-suspicious. R. L. Taylor,
the junior senator from Tennessee, ex-
perienced a change of views, the advo-
Gates of the Scott an~ti-future cotton
bill were enabled to report it from
committee, but without recomenda-
ton and in e~masculated form, by a
vote of 6 to 5.
Mr.. Taylor was committed against
the bill, believing that it was a dan
gerous piece of legislation that ought
not to be passed. He attended the
hearing granted to the representatives
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
and listened to a mastery presenta-
ton OF the reasons why the bill was
vicious In form and substance and why
the system of dealing in futures, or
hedging" is absolutely essential to
the cotton business.
The senators who stood by Senator
Foster in opposing the bill were: Gull
lom of Illinois, the acting chairman OF
of the committee; Kean of New Jer-
sey; Crane Of Massachusetts,; Nixon
of Nevada, all Republicans.
These five managed to amend the
bill by striking out sections four, six
and seven, which are SO essential to
it's operations that its enactment is
considered absolutely impossible this
session. Senators Foster and Thorn
ton will make an active fight against
the bill il it is permitted to come up
for consideration in the senate. and
they will have the support of several
other influential senators.
Three sections of the bill, as it pass
ed the house, were eliminated by the
senate committee and some of the
friends OF the measure say that the
changes make the measure non-effec-
tive.
The sections stricken out are:
That which authorizes agents of tel
egraph, telephone or cable companies
10 administer oaths tn their efforts to
ascertain whether messages offered
for transmission were in violation II
the law.
That declaring books, newspapers,
pamphlets, letters or other writings or
publications containing quotations
which might induce the making of con-
tracts tn violation of the proposed law
should be non-mailable.
That providing that the postmaster
general, upon evidence satisfying to
himself, might return mail to the send
ers when he believed it to be unlawful
under the proposed act.
