Last month this paper published an
account of the great Land Show to be
held in New York City on November
3 to IL, to get the most Industrious
New Yorkers-both Native Americans
and foreigners-out to the broad acres
of the country, away from the over
crowded, unhealthy cities, where work
is scarce and hard to find. Much has
been done since then. The farmers all
over the country are going to try and
get that James J. Hill cup away from
the Northwest. We must prevent this
by raising better wheat and must have
big exhibit from this section-so that
we will not only have the best chance
to win this valuable $1,000 Cup, but
that many of the New Workers will
come to our section and buy land. We
need more good neighbors and must help
boom this locality and also the Great
Northwest.
What You Must Do to Win This Cup.
The conditions are very simple and
easy and any farmer or grower in the
United States can easily compete for
this cup.
The trophy cup offered by James J.
Chairman of the Board Of Direc-
tors of the Great Northern Railway
is of silver and is valued at $1,000. It
is over five feet high and is deliberately
engraved. It will be presented-yours
to have and hold always-to the farmer
or grower in the United States who
exhibits the best 100 pounds of wheat
at the American Land and Irrigation
Exposition, which will be held at Mad
ison Square Garden, New York City,
November 3 to II, 1911.

Canadian Reciprocity Measure Prom

ised Necessary Support.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Chairman
conference with President Taft today
confirmed the report that sixty sena.
tors are expected to vote for Canadian
reciprocity and stated that within two
weeks q date for a vote would be
agreed oD.
He gave the president detailed re.
port of the stu alton In the sen ate and
declared the bill would be passed
without amendment.
Later Mr.. Penrose issued formal
statement in which he said:
IA careful canvass of the senate
shows that sixty members, or substan-
TALLY two thirds OF the senate, are in
favor of the reciprocity bill and more
than that number will be opposed to
the Root amendment. The senate will
hold daily sessions from now on, and
during the next two weeks great pro-
gress ought to be made toward reach.
ing a final vote on the measure. The
bill will be passed at an early date
without amendment. 1t would be we'll
il it could be passed before the Cana.
dian parliament re-assemb bles in the
latter part of July.
1.-THE probability is that tbs wool
bill will reach the senate in few
days and the finance committee will
be callt d together for the purpose Of
considering the wool bill and the SO
called free list bill. 1t is we'll under
stood that the tariff board has beer
hard at work investigating the WOO
schedule and will be ready to repor
next December It is not reasonable
therefore, to expect that the republi
can majority in the senate will TAX,
up the wool bill until the tariff boart
report shall have been received.

During the progress of Mr.. McCum.

Mr.. McCumber was attempting to
