The seed corn business of the com
pany now extends into ten of the leading
western states and Mr.. Grill states that
on an average his company will contract
for special seed purposes about 5000
acres of corn each year. A speciality OF
early corn is made for the purpose OF
supplying the northern tier Of states and
those on the Rocky Mountain slope. Mr..
Grill has discovered that the peculiar
climatic conditions in this section pro-
duce in the growing of early varieties Of
seed corn that will ripen much quicker
in North Dakota and Montana than corn
grown in the cod night district of Min
nesota where most of the corn has been
furnished as heretofore. This fact in
Sures a large and permanent industry for

three years on the journey from Miu-

Here IL was with Mr., Harter rs 10 has
been with many OF us, those who really
know good county or city when we
see 1t, decide to make Union County
and Elk Point our future and lasting
home. The surrounding county, our

Special TO the COURIER

II Canadian reciprocity has rough
road 10 the Senate, a good share OF the
credit for effective work to prevent the
ratification OF the treaty must be given
TO the work done by The delegation frCm
from the State in 10th branches OF Con-
gress, aud in the final analysis of results
the delegation Of farmer and their rep
resentitives who came here recently,
mist be accorded distiEctiOn for hav-
ing put some mighty strong Obstruc-
tiOns into the wheels OF reciprocity
legislation. Senators Gamble and Craw-
ford, and Representative Burke, at
South Dakota gentlemen gave their
testimony. A. K. Chamberlain of
BrO0kines, proved to be one Of the best
posted men upon the subject OF our
agricultural relations with the Domin-
ion of Canada, that has appeared IN
Washington, and not wilhstanding the
fact that in his analyses of the entire
situation he took up great part Of
two days, the Committee was so thor
Oughly interested In the information
he was able to give, that he WAS re-
quesled 10 present further facts, and
he appeared before the Committee on
the third day by request. Mr.. William
II. Lyon Of Sioux Falls, was another
opponent of the treaty, and occupied
part of two days before the Committee,
In which he went particularly into the
question OF reciprocity as 1t concerned
The agricultural interests, During his
remarks hs made sUlne Fefei ences to
the lumber conditions OF the Dominion
and the United States, and unconsci-
ously precipitated controversy be-
tween Senators Johnson, GalIinger,

Dakota gentlemen who were given
hearings by the Committee were

Defeat of Reciprocity Will Boost Taft

Defeat OF Reciprocity Will Boost Taft.
An interesting phase Of the political
situation is being discussed In Wash
ington, and there are plenty of pCliti-
clans who recognize the possibility that
II the Senate defeats reciprocity, it
will be doing the best pOssiD Dle thing
to help the personal standing Of Presi-
dent Taft The logic OF this viewpoint
is that If the Senate, which is none too
strong in the eyes of the Nation, tut ns
down the reciprocity agreement, that
President T .ft can go out before the
people, and preach the doctrine OF
lower tariffs, thereby making business
extremely bad for some of the Senators
who are now doing their level best to
defeat reciprocity, both by direction
and indirectiOn. While there Is de-
termined opposition among a good
many of the farmers of the country in
regard TO Canadian reciprocity, yet the
concensus of opinion is that the great
majority Of the people are 10 favor OF
the treaty. The one shining illustra-
tion o. splendid management upon the
part of President Taft has been his
handling of this measure, and it is be-
lieved that regardless OF what the Sen
ate may do that the Presidents pOliti-
cal fortunes will be made through IT,

Wool Tariff will be Revised.

So far as the House of Representa-
vised, and Chairman Underwood Of the
Ways and Means Committee Gays that
twO-thirds of the Democratic mem bers
OF the House will stand by the party
caucus and his Committee in ratifying,
the program which has been agreed
upon. There is no measure before Con
gress except that OF reciprocity; that
mas broughLa u greater protest from over
the country than the effort to practi-
cally remove protection Ou wool. While
there is little sympathy with the man
ufacturers, yet the growers and pro-
ducers Of wool are up In arms and are
beseeching Congress not to destroy
their industry. William Jennings Bry-
an characterizes the mild protection
the Democratic Committee propose aS
a violation OF the pledges of the Demo.
cratic party, and he declares that,
"there is no reason why few sheep
raisers should be shown favoritism u
the expense of those who wear woolen
clothing" He also asserts that, sit
NAV be we'll remembered that voters of
all rarti-s are brsver than politicians.
However, Mr.. Underwood who is the
real ruler of Democratic destlnies in
the House Of Representatives, does not
propose to change his program.

Public Schools Of Elk

School Is now closed for the summer,
and | wish to thank The school public
for the courtesy and consideration It
has shown me during the past year.
The school work has been for the
most part quite satisfactory.
To regard TO promotions great care
has been exercised TO bring about the
best results for those concerned. Quite
a number have been conditioned on
one or Two subjects thus enabling them
10 study up on those subjects and be
promoted later instead OF failing out
right.
ln order that students may prove the
benefit OF experienced help in their
summer study, six Official Tutors have
been appointed, three for the grade
subjects and three for the High School
subjects. Those for grades are, Mis-.
Anna Ryan, Miss Bessie Gray and
Miss Nell Hass0n.
Those for High School are, Miss Nell
Ericsson, Mss Hazel Volliner and Rev
q. K. Rice. There is nothing TO pre-
vent High School tutors giving iastruc.
tions 10 grade subjects. The tutors
may give examinations and their
grades win be accepted toward ad
vanced work or the removal OF condl
tions.

Martin ana Bark DISAGREE Over Vermil-
lion Postmaster.

Congressman Martin and Burke have
never disagl eed out once on the Ques-
zion of patronage, which they have to
distribute, and that was In the case OF
u postmaster for VermllliOn. This dis
agreement was not serious, but each
Representative had choice, and so In
friendly way they arrived at a plan
to accept the voters OF Vermilliou as
their arbitratOrs. W. &. HuyOk aud
w. FL. Lawton were the two principal
candidates for the place, and all other
asprants withdrew. In the election
Huyck won out bya majority OF eighty
seven, add he will therefore sort the
mail and sell the stamps for Uncle Sam
~ the VermiliOn Office. Reports re-
ceived here are 10 the effect that every =
oGe is happy over the way the matter
WAS haLdled.
