"a cold lunch" In minute. To the
others It came as a piece Of intelli-
gence that added awe to the lighter
emotions Of the occasion. By common
consent their eyes focused on the
great man who stood warming his
hands at the stove. Even the rare,
unusual woman, revealed now as suff1-
ciently pretty to be an object Of fu-
ture dreams, was interesting only to
the younger and more impressionable
members OF the throng. All but these

Cannon, the Bonanza King.
He was used to 1t. It had been q
part Of his life for years. Eying his
admirers with genial good humor,
he entered into conversation with
them, his manner marked by an easy
familiarity, which swept away all
shades Of embarrassment, and drew
the men around the stove, eager to
respond to Ills questions as to the con-
dition and prospects Of the locality
The talk was becoming general and
animated, when the ancient man re-
turned and announced that the cold

McVsigh, less innocently democratic
than the hotel proprietor, was about to
withdraw from the society Of his dis

seemly loneliness at an adjacent
table, when Bill Cannon's voice arrest
ed him.
What are you going of there for
sonny, as II you were leper? Come
over here and sit side Of u.s."
Cannon, his overcoat removed, was
seen to be a powerful, thick-set man
with bulkiness that was more 9

GORDON TO AID ROOSEVELT MEN
Report Lieutenant Governor of Min
nesota Is Ready to Declare Col
onel is Logical Candidate.

st. Paul, Feb. CLOSE upon the re.
port that Senator Clapp is getting
ready to expousc the Roosevelt cause
comes the report that Lieutenant Gov.
ernor S. Y. Gordon also is getting
ready to declare that the colonel is
the logical candidate for President. Mr.
Gordon went to his home at Brown g
Valley the latter part Of last week, but
is expected in st. Paul shortly, and
he may say something on the matter
very soon.
Mr.. Gordon incurred the enmity of
the Progressive league officers last
summer when he refused to come out
for LaFollette, or to attend their gath.
erings. Next came the Taft meetings
in the state and he stayed away then
also. Shortly afterward he printed
an editorial in which he took a stand
against the president, expressing the
belief that the people of this state are
not for him.
Mr.. Gordon will take the position, il
is reported that, while he considers
Taft and LaFollette each has many
admirable qualities, neither of them has
the support Of the general run of Re.
publicans in Minnesota and that Roose
welt is the only person who can unite
the party. Gordon has frequently ex
pressed his regard for Roosevelt, and
when Roosevelt spoke before the Leg
islature last winter he took an active
part in the reception.
So far there seems to be little real
work being done for any of the presi
Dental candidates in this state, except
what the Progressive league is doing
for LaFollette. Neaorganized effect is
being made in Taft g behalf, apparent
~, and SO far there is no Roosevelt
uprising in the state. The con
tions, which are all held on the same
day, may decide to instruct the dele
gates in various ways, but otherwise
it would not be surprising If an unin
structed delegation is sent. Those in
terested in the success Of the Republi
can state ticket want to pick the pres
idential candidate that will make the
best run, because it will make it easie,
to elect Republican state ticket.

HAS MAINTAINED ITS PROM.
NENCE IN THE MAGNITUDE OF
ACREAGE AND YIELD OF THE
PRINCIPAL SMALL GRAIN
CROPS OF THE UNITED STATES.

"Again in 1911 has North Dakot,
more than maintoined her prominenc,
in magnitude of acreage and yield o.
the principal small grain crops Of tn,
United States,' said Commissioner o.
Agriculture w. G. Gilbreath recently il
III interview with Tribune rcprcsen
tativc.
"The latest comparative Statistical
sabulation Of agricultural conditions
by the federal department of agri
culture shows that the state stand.
first in acreage ana yield of spring
wheat with 9,l50,0OO acres under cro1
md total yield of 73,2oO,0O0 bushels
Minnesota comes next with an acre
age of 4,S50,000 acres and a yield OF
43,e35,00O bushels. Washington stand:
third with 100000 acres and 25,545,
900 bushels.
"1n. fiaxseed yield and acreage
North Dakota still more emphatically
demonstrates her supremacy with an
acreage Of 100000 and total crop
of 100000 bushels constituting nearly
half of the total yield and acreage for
the whole United States. Trailing far
behind comes Montana with about one
third of the yield and acreage of this
state, followed closely by South Dako.
ia and Minnesota.
"In barley the state stands third on
the list of commonwealth with L.
050,OOO acres, and fourth in yield with
20,475,000 bushels. California leads in
this cereal with 100000 bushels.
Minnesota is third with 2S,025,OOO bu-
shells while Wisconsin just noses in
ahead of North Dakota with 20,910OOO
bushels None of these states however
can produce better quality, and the
North Dakota product is eagerly sought
for by brewers all over the states.
"Fifth in acreage with 2,ls0,00O ac.
res and sixth in yield Of oats with ST.
100000 bushels, North Dakota very
creditably rounds out her agricultural
record flor 1911-admittedly an off
year.
Given more remarkable than the
foregoing, and more significant than
any as an indication Of the magnificent
agricultural vitality of the state is
the progress made during the past two
years in corn acreage Of North Dakota.
The acreage as returned by the state
assessors in the spring of 1911 was
52,936 acres, compared with 230,197
acres in 1910, being a gain of nearly
100 per cent. No other state in the
Union with an acreage of 100000 or ov.
er comes within 80 per cent of this pho.
nomenal percentage gain, and, while it
is not claimed that North Dakota is a
corn state, in the general acceptation
of the term, yet this splendid showing,
especially when considered in connec-
tion with the federal expert estimate
of IS bushels to the acre, must be con-
ceded to be final proof that North
Dakota has fairly and definitely taken
her place within the corn belt of the
union, thus adding another testimony to
her remarkable suitability of her soil
and the climate to the needs of al.
most any kind of vegetation growable
in the temperate zone"
