Meeting Harmonious.

The meeting was harmonious in eve
rv way. There was some discussion
as to the need of committee to re-
port the facts brought up by John
Naylor, T. W. BARLEY and E. R. Wis
well. but Bartleys and WisWell's mo-
tion condemning the present condl-
tions, incorporated in the latter mo-
ton, was carried by an Overwhelming
majority.
The selection gave great satisfac-
ton to the farmers who were present
and comprises nine of the most lnflu-
ential taxpayers of the county, and
among them some of the heaviest.
There is a general expression on that
whatever the committee decides upon
will meet with general approval among
the people.
Among those present were:
r M. Green and Manford Harland OF
Troy.
Pete Hagen of Blaine.
A. B. Crawford, N. M. Talbot, Col

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Plans for the
extension of their visit in New York
until Friday night when they will re-
turn to Canada are being made by the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught and
their daughter, Princess Patricia.
New York made a hit with them.
The Duchess and Princess, probably
will not visit Washington when the
Duke calls on Taft
1t is reported that Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid wants to emphasize her claim
to the social leadership of America and
doesn't wish to share her royal guests
even with the President, therefore the
Duchess and Princess will not visit
the White House.
