Easily Carries Wisconsin for

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 3-Re-
turns of Wisconsin's first presidential
primary election held yesterday, while
far from complete. show La Toilette
has a big lead over the Taft ticket,
and that Wilson is a sure winner over
Champ Clark. The vote for president
is merely advisory, the real contest
being for delegates to the national
conventions of the two major parties.
La Toilette appears to have secured
q solid delegation, although E. L. Phil.
lip, manager Of the Taft campaign in
the state, says his latest reports in
dicate the possibility of the president
having secured delegates in the sixth
district. Everything aside from this
seems to have gone La Follette's way,
including all delegates at large. VII.
son appears to have beaten Clark in
almost every district, but there ap-
pears to be some hope of Clark's hav.
ing secured the sixth district dele

former Congressman Charles II.

paign throughout the state.

Among the notable visitors at the

Hendrix, who has been engaged in
the banking business at Bentley. Mr.
Hendrick recently disposed of his
banking interests to F. G. Orr and H
A. HALFWAY of Mott, and Messrs.
Tucker, Beecher and Towle, of Min
neapolis. He is en- route to his form.
er home in Iowa, where he will visit
during the two ensuing weeks.
Mr.. Hendrick has been q resident
Of North Dakota for over two years.
During that time he has secured a
very favorable impression of the
Slope country even in years that have
been unfavorable. He intends to re-
turn to the Slope and engage in the
real estate and loan business. When
asked as to conditions inhis section
of the Slope country, Mr.. Hendrick
said:
Much Land Under Cultivation
Bentley is one of the best banking
points In the. southwestern part of
the state. There is more land under
cultivation about Bentley than around
any other town on the Milwaukee
line.
Prospects Could Not Be Better
"The prospects for the year could
not be better. There is lots of mois-
ture in the ground and the outlook
for splendid crop is bright. I don't
know Of a single piece of land that
won't be farmed this year-that is,
that is broken up.
Plenty Of Moisture this Year
"All through the Slope country
there is more moisture than any year
since I have been here. The snow
went of gradually and the moisture
sank deep into the ground. I know
of no other country in the world q
man can 60 to, and do so we'll as in
western North Dakota. I expect to
return to the Slope within two weeks
and engage in the real estate and
loan business. I shall probably make
my headquarters at Dickinson. The
future Of the Slope country certainly
appears brilliant"

Special to The Tribune.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April g.
Robert Tattinson, representing the
European contract syndicate which
will build the San Antonio, Rock2ort
& Mexican railroad has let the con-
tract for the construction Of the line
between Crowther, 62 miles south of
San Antonio, and Rockport, including
the company docks at Harbor Island,
to the Shattuck. .Endinger company of
Los Angeles and San Francisco. The
total amount involvel will be close to
$5,0O0,0OO. The contract provides that
work must be begun on or before
April /, as bonus subscriptions made
to the road provide, but as the con-
tractors will have to bring much Of
their equipment from California it
will be close to May before the con-
struction will be really under full
head.
According to specifications, made a
part of the contract, the road Is to
be standard gauge, rock ballasted,
laid with 90pound steel and equipped
with block signals. Bridges and cul-

Engineering work also will be done
by the Shattuck- -Endinger company,
laying out the road and docks and
terminals at Harbor Island.
Announcement has not yet been
made with reference to the building
of the line north Of Crowther. It IL
possible that the construction ut
this end will be begun at San An
tonic or the European Contract Syn
dicate may acquire some other road
possibly the Artesian Belt, and re-
construct it. The Artesian Belt rail
road was purchased recently by H.
E. Hildebrand of San Antonio for
some interest which he has not yet
and the belief is quite gen
eral that the European Syndicate was
behind the deal.
This makes two railroads now being
between San Antonio and
the Gulf and q survey has been made
for the railroad between San Antonio
and Fredericksburg.

Spring work has started in Bur

a short time before spring seeding
will be on in full blast. Bdrleigl
county land, which is some OF tnt
most fertile and productive in the
entire state, promises to yield boun
tiful harvests this coming fall. A
great impetus will be given the yield
in the eastern part of the county by
the planting of $500 acres Of flax
Fred Korn, county commissioner, who
is attending the regular monthly board
meeting at the court house,. said this
morning:
Spring work in any part of the
county will start the latter part OF
the week, and even now is under
'headway in some sections. There ID
going to be q great amount of seeding

grains. This means lots Of money
from Burleigh county land in the
fall.
"The creamery at Mckenzie opened
yesterday. It faces a most encour-
aging season. The creamery was
obliged to shut down rather early
last year because Of the extremely
low express rates on cream ship
ments to the Twin Cities. 1t Is a
pleasure to note the fight which the
state is making against these rates
which tend to kill competition from
the small creameries, and to observe
that the Tribune is assisting in the
fight by giving publicity to the con.
ditions that exist. certainly am
hopeful for a good year, and think
that the entire slope country will
make a record for itself during 1912
that can scarcely be surpassed by any
other part of the state"
Spring work is starting in all Sec
tions of the county. Gus Hogue, who
resides north of the city, states that
many of the farmers are actively en-
gagged in their farm work now, and
reports from Gibbs, Boyd, Menoken
and many other townships contain
similar Information. From now until
fall the work will continue, when it
Is hoped that the farmers will reap
The full fruits of their labors.

a way what the league hoped to ac-
complish in the advertising and de-
velopment of the entire slope coun-
try. The work of the league will not
be confined to advertising our re-
sources to outsiders and getting in

ways; it will hold farmers get-togeth-
er meetings, will hold farmers insti-
tutes and will organize the farmers
of the slope country into better farm
ing organizations.
Interest Local People.
Besides this it will endeavor to get
our local people to boosting their own
country and to have those who are
now knocking becme boosters in
stead.
Much Literature Mailed Out.
Mr.. Slosson stated that he had al
ready sent out some 5000 letters to
outsiders who own land on the Slope
advising them of the proposed work
and asking their aid both financially
and in the way Of working for the
interests of the Slope country. His
headquarters will be in Bismarck and
all literature will be sent out from
here. He will move here in about two
weeks and open offices.
Raise Money for Work.
In order to raise money for the cam
paign the county commissioners of
each of the sixteen counties in the
league will be petitioned to appropri-
ate sum equal to one fourth of one
mill on the assessed valuation of each
of the respective counties. In Bur-
leigh county this will make a tax OF
about Is cents on each quarter sec-
tion of land besides the share which
the cities and towns have to pay, and
will bring in some $1,500, for ad-
vertising purposes. Petitions are al
ready out in Hettinger and Mclean
counties and will be started in others
right away.
