st. Paul, Feb. 2.-The proposed con-

prohibition cleared the first hurdle
when it was passed by the Minnesota
House of Representatives by vote
of sc to A. Two more hurdles remain
the Senate and the voters of the
state.
The measure passed is bone dry
prohibiting the transportation of IL
quor as well as it's manufacture, gift,
sale or barter. The drys themselves
took the moisture out of the bill re-

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
As WHEAT PRODUCER
342.OOO,OOO Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre.
the production of any country on TINS
continent is striking fact proved oy
the following figures:
In 1916 the Dominion Of Canada pro-
duced 376,OO0OOO bushels of wheat,
which represented aHaverage yield OF
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,O11, 5O5,OO bushels
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1922, 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile, Wlth
100000 bushels or Ii bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 76,OOOOOO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside OF the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the CON-
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is Of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practl-
cally three times as much Is no dis
enlargement. Dhe United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiNeness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures show
Ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces Of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity OF
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

Prohibition Victory.

The action making the measure
'bone dry" by re-inserting the trans
portation prohibitory clause, while os-
tensibly fostered by the dry leaders,
was, in reality, victory for the Pro-
hibition party leaders and defeat for
certain leaders of the Minnesota Anti
Saloon league. The latter consented to
the lust dry" measure going onto the
floor of the House When the Prohibl-
tionists. headed by w. G.. Calderwood,
got into the game, enough drys were
induced to desert the leadership of
the men in charge of the bill so far
as the "just dry" feature was con.
cerned

Would Change Date.

Leo J. Gleason of Minneapolis in.
Produced an amendment changing the
time of operation to December 80,
1920. A similar amendment had been
lost by only two votes. Mr.. Gleason's
amendment failed to carry by a vote
of 81 to 60.
The bill will now go to the Senate.
It will be considered by the tenn
perance committee in that body with
out delay. Predictions are that 1t would
mass in the upper body. A strong fight
to place some amendment upon 1t ID
expected, however.

TRANSPORTATION Prohibited.

w. I. Norton Of Minneapolis, floor
leader of the drys, introduced the
amendment re-inserting the word
transportation. His amendment carried
by a vote of 80 to 40. 1t was the first
test of strength and indicated the pas
sage Of the bill in the amended FORM
Thomas J. McGrath Of st. Paul then
introduced an amendment permitting
the manufacture of light wines and
beer and extending the time limit for
operation of the amendment from Jan
a,ary 1, 1920 . December 81. 1920. Al
fer protrac debate. this amend
ment was lost by vote of So to II.
Thomas II. Girling Of Robbinsdale,
who with Mr.. McGrath conducted the
fight for the vets, attempted to make
the bill even more than bone dry
by amending it SO as to prohibit the
possession of liquor for personal
use"
The d1ys refused to 60 with Mr.
Girling in this and voted his amend
ment down by vote of 81 to 70.

UNGUARDED
DITCH BAD
Iowa Highway Commission Finds
There are Plenty of Casual
ties Due to This Cause
in State.

The unguarded ditch at the side OF
the road is growing menace to
motor travel, according to the Amer
lean Highway association. Formerly,
SAYS a report of the organization,
when roads were used only by horse
drawn vehicles, the deep side ditch
and the high, narrow embankment
were not particularly dangerous. Be-
tween the driver and the horse there
was enough combined intelligence to
avoid accidents at such places. But
| with the advent Of the automobile
| the conditions have changed. If a
car is forced off the hard roadway
'on to soft shoulders even the most
skillful driver will sometimes lose
control of it. If this occurs at the
| places referred to there is a real dan
ger to the occupants of the car.
| The records of the Iowa state
highway commission for September.
October, and November, 1916, show
that in that state alone 353 automo-
biles turned turtle, resulting in five
! deat'.s and 451 injuries. Just how
many of these accidents were due
but this is generally regarded as the
usual cause OF OVeTIuIHlHS. ...
| Where the bitches are deep or the
road is on an embankment with steep
slopes, substantial guard rails should
be provided. During September, Oc-
tober, and November, 1916, the Iowa
records show that 1877 cars went over
entertainments, killing seven persons
and injuring 234 Such list points
more clearly than general arguments
to the great importance Of guard
rails that will act as real guards
