DEY|NE AND
CANADIAN
RECIPROCITY
Minot Man Writes Jerry Bacon Re.
markable Letter Showing What the
Canadian Reciprocity Agreement
Would Do to North Dakota.

At a voluntary meeting of farmers
and business men held at Grand Forks
on March 18, it was determined that
the best interests of the state could be
served in the opposition to the adop-
ton of the Canadian Reciprocity
agreement by holding a state conven-
ton, which will be held in Grand
Forks April 4.
A committee consisting of thirty
one prominent men of the state has
been selected and county conventions
will b held also, for the purpose of
circulating petitions to our represon-
tatives and senators in congress,
proving tina: the movement is state
wide. J. M. Devine, the represen'
tative from this section of the state
has written tho following letter to
Jerry Bacon Of Grand Forks, setting
forth his views on the subject, which
We hope every reader Of the indie.
pendent win carefully study.
Minot, N. D., March ~, 1911.
Hon. Jerry Bacon, Grand Forks,
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
notice stating that am a member Of
! the executive committee to arrange
for an anti Canadian Reciprocity con
| vention to be held At Grand Forks,
April 4th.
I assure you that in every way .
can l will attempt to arouse the PEG
pie Of this section to the vital I'M
! portance Of having big, represen'
tative delegation in attendance at The
convention. North Dakotans every
where should be fully aroused to the
great danger Of this 20 called rscaproc
ity agreement. can conceive Of X
notional legislation, since We have
been a state, that will affect 10 % ,
people so seriously as this agreement
should 1t become q law.
A careful study Of It's provision:
will show that had Canadian states
men acted solely and alone they
could not have improved upon its pro
visions 20 far 10 enhancing their owl
interests and lesssnin1 oars. i
gives every possible concession to II
Canadian, and but little or nothing Il
the Americans. Especially IL THU
true of North Dakota and every agri
cultural bordering state. Certainl!
no body Of intelligent, experienced
men could have conceived and draft
ed this agreement, who knew anythin,
Of present conditions and possibiTit.
of the Canada of today, or the In
terest of the bordering states.
Under the operation Of this agree
ment, what market in Canada will tn
American farmer secure for the priv
ilege of letting the Canadian farme
in this, our market? We have toda,
the greatest market In the world, an
in exchange for the privilege of sell
ing in that market we secure no cor
cession in return.
I am not opposed to reciprocit

No most at all was reported anywhere in

started, which at the end Of the first
haf-hour of business put prices l to

The forecast of frost in northwest Ar

Take any Of them. look up his past, and
you will find it's only the Matching out OF
a bad egg" Ho knew the answer did not
satisfy the lawyer. who was stiu looking
at him quizzicaIly Feeling rather uncom-
Portable. he pulled out his watch, and de-
clared he must be going back to the office.
As he drove along. he could ncr help
cursing himself for the alp he nad just
made. The lawyers remarts had made a
great impression on him. ard tue closing
incident of the conversation had amply
demonstrated the truth OF Groscups theory
about the possession Of guilty Knowltdge.
II he betrayed himself in that way to a
person that had no suspicious whatever.
what would happen Il he were ski!!fiiy
questioned by someone who knew, CT who
fancled he knew the facts?
Turning over in his mind the best way to
avoid any possible trap that might be laid
for him by persons coming to his office,
he concluded that it would be just as well
to follow the lawyers advice and have
some one to take his place. in case he
should be asked for by strangers. Any
persons that knew him would not be de-
ceived OF course; but so many people asked
to see him who did not know whether they
were really talking to Mr.. Hartley or not
that a substitute should answer very we'll.
The only question was to find the man
OF the right age He did not like to trust
everyone with such a matter. u would
lead to talk, and perhaps to questions.
The only person he cared to ask to under
take It was Mcbride. He was rather
young, OF course; but the kind of people
Hartley was afraid of would probably not
stop TO ask questions about ages. He would
try It for a day or two, and see how 1t
worked II anything went wrong, Il could
easily be turned off with some excuse or
other about it's being a mistake on the
callers part, or something like that
He called Mcbride into his office and
explained briefly what he wanted dcre,
without giving the true reason for it, how
ever. His confidence in mis- CLERK stopped
short Of that point. He narped upon he
ing bothered 80 much by begga-s and such
persons shortly before the holidays, ard
suggested that Mcbride should sit 8. his
desk for few days, while he would occupy
the inner sanctum, the door of wnrn was
visible only when one was well inside the
private office
You need not say who you are, you
know" the older man explained. IF they

must be Mr. Hartley. Tell the boys thai

CHAPTER XXI.

After thinking the matter over carefully
Mcbride concluded that he would be more
likely to find Miss Ohlstrom at home on
Sunday afternoon than at any other time.
1t was hard to wait so long but the in
terval was devoted to rosy dreams OF an
other chat with her, and OF the cementing
Of an acquaintance that was going to be
something more than an acquaintance some
day or his reading OF his own horoscope
was sadly at fault lie had nothing to tell
her about MAXWELL; but what did that mat
ter? He let his imagination run absurdly
on, building castles They would have a
nice chat, and he would get permission to
call again, on some pretense or other. He
would find out who her friends were and
be formally introduced, and then he would
take her to the theater, and TO drive; he
would see her almost every day. Hartley
was quite right about one thing; Mcbride
would be an ardent lover when he met
Miss Right.
Sunday afternoon came and after making
a very careful toilet, and trying to look
his best, although he was really very ner-
vous, Mcbride went 10 the address which
Helen had given him, and rang the bell
He had prepared a card on which he had
written Mr. George Hartley. jr.." and
which he handed 10 the maid who opened
the door. He thought It better TO keep
that name until he explained matters per-
sonally. Miss Ohlstrom would not know
who II was II he sent up his right name.
Miss Ohlatrom would be down In a min
ute. In minute! How his heart beat! In
a minute he was TO be face TO face with
her again. Then he would refresh his mem
DRY with a look at her face, ne would
study the features that he had forgotten.
The general impression was there, but the
details were wanting
There was no installing that figure as
she swept into the room She appeared
glad TO SEQ him; but she did not extend
her hand. She did not even ask him TO be
seated she pulled up the shade a little.
and made some remark about not wanting
light yet. That was all He felt chilled,
somehow, at this reception.
