GOOD FEELING ON THE MEXICAN Chihuahua, and there was loss of
FRONTIER. ) life 011 our side of the line which
• aroused irritation among our people,
That was a notable gathering] but that feeling has passed away,
which has just taken place in El
Paso. At that Texas town there was
a celebration for the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona to state-
hood, and among its prominent par-
ticipants were not only the terri-
torial governors of the two commu-
nities just mentioned, but the gov-
ernor of Texas was also there, and
so were the chief magistrates of the
states of Chihuahua and Sonora, of
the Mexican Republic. El Paso pre-
sented a flag of 48 stars to the gov-
ernors of the two Territories, and
there was a general round of Jollifi-
cation and felicitation. Those two
Mexican states are just over the
boundary from our Territories which
are about to come into the circle of
the commonwealths. Some of the
fighting in the recent revolution in
Mexico took place close to the in-
ternational boundary in Sonora and

OUR HOUSE WARM, CLEAN,
WELL VENTILATED.
In this fraternizing of Mexicans
land Americans in El Paso, there is
ja happy omen for the two countries
Mexico is about to make a new de-
parture in self-government, and our
interest in the experiment is natural
ly greater than any other country
can feel. The recent civil war in
Mexico attracted much attention
here, but excited little notice in
Europe. The administration at Wash
ington sent a division of troops to
Texas to guard against certain dan
gerous possibilities, but the average
Intelligent Mexican did not see in
this movement any menace to his
country. This can be said for us 01
the testimony of two competent wit
nesfies on the ground. These were
Francisco I. Madera and President
Diaz. For. two reasons, chiefly, our
troops were at the Rio Grande: t(
prevent any violation of our neu-
trality, and to be ready to save prop
erty and life and to ward off col-
lapse of authority in Mexico. We ac-
complished the first purpose success-
fully. Happily the other kind of a
service was not required.
The good-will which is expressed
for us by the Mexicans on the bor-
der is an indication that the rela-
tions between the two countries are
likely to be particularly cordial for
the future. Provisiona1 President
De la Barra and the elected Presi-
dent Madero have, at one time or an-
other, resided in the United States.
Both have many friends here. De la
Barra's enlightened sway during the
interim between the deposition of
Diaz and the accossion of Madore,
which is to come in a few weeks,
shows the influence of American
ideas, as learned by him here, while
Madero's program of reforms, though
ithey make an abrupt break with the
old order in his country, are only
commonplaces to us. The governors
of Sonora and Chihuahua, like Ma-
dero and De la Barra, belong to the
new school of Mexican statesmen.
They realize that thiB is the twen-
' tieth century, and not the eighteenth.
While Diaz's rule was excellent for
the early and crude period in which
it was Instituted, it fai'ed to meet
modern demands, and was discarded
on that accouut. With the inaugura-
tion of Madero and the accession of
the recently chosen government in
December, a new era for their coun-
try will dawn At last the Mexican
Republic will be republican.
It may surprise many Americans
who as late as 10 years ago looked
upon Manitoba as on the edge of the
world to know that Manitoba prob-
ably is the oldest settled section of
the North American continent west
of the Mississippi River and north of
New Mexico. It was near the pres-
ent site of Winnipeg that Lord Sel-
kirk settled his Red River colonists
in 1813.
Away up in the Peace River coun-
try, 200 miles north of Edmonton,
the Hudson Bay Co. has a wheat
mill that has been in operation for
50 years. And Edmonton is 1,000
miles west of Winnipeg and about
300 miles north of the United States
line. The mill grinds wheat that is
grown in the great fur region.
As a matter of fact, Western Can
ada was thoroughly explored many
I years earlier than was the district
| between the Missouri River and the
Pacific Coa^f, in the United States.
But for 200 years it was exploited
by the fur traders, who discouraged
every effort to turn it into an agri-
cultural region. The factors of the
fur companies resisted the incoming
of the farmer.
The American is ubiquitous in
Western Canada now. He is on the
farm, in the towns, in tho cities, in
the irrigated districts, working hard
and setting the paco for his neigh-
bors. They havo caught the boom
spirit from him, and some of them,
like the young Scot, even go him
one better at times.
Ten years ago Winnipeg had only
40,000 inhabitants. Ten years before
that it was a small town. It is now
the largest single inland grain mar-
ket in the world Saskatchewan, the
middle of the three prairie provinces,
Is an empire in itself, covering an
area of approximately 250,000 square
miles. Only the southern half has
been touched, and less than a quar-
ter has been developed to any ex-
tent. Still it does fairly well. In
1900 its wheat crop amounted to
3,443,671 bushels. Now It raises
from 75,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels
annually. Its oat crop has grown
from 1,600,000 bushels in 1900 to
more than 100,000,000 bushels an-
nually. Alberta, the province just
west of Saskatchewan, is following
right along. It is in the northern
part of Alberta, near Calgary, in the
Bow Valley, where the largest 6ingle
irrigation project in the world out-
side of Bgypt has been undertaken
by the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Three million acres are to be irri-
cated when the work is completed;
about 500,000 acres are now under
the ditch.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

Chicago, 111., Oct. 23.—Judge Peter
S. Grosscup of tho United States Clr
cult Court Saturday forwarded his
reslgiatlon to President Taft. He
asked that It become effective today.
Judge Grosecup's resignation has
been delayed eevoral weeks by the
foreclosure proceedings of tho Chi
cago-Mllwaukee electric road. Sat
urday he transferred further hearings
of the case to Judge Geo. A. Car-
penter.
"I have nothing to say about my
plans for tho future," said Judge
Grosscup. **I will resume my private
practice."
Resignation (Jives No Reason.
The resignation reads: "To the
President, Washington, D. C. Sir—I
hereby resign as circuit Judge of the
United Slates for the Seventh Ju-
dicial District, to take effect Monday,
Oct. 28, 1911.—Peter S. Grosscup.'
Jtidgo Grosscup signed orders In
tho Chicago-Milwaukee electric road
case allowing John R. Thompson,
owner of $1,125,000 worth of bonds,
a place on the Reorganization Board.
Incurred Euuillj of 1'ulons.
Grosscup was born in Ashland
Ohio, in 1852. When he went to Chi-
cago In 1883 be entered the law firm
headed by Leonard Swett, who was
formerly the law partner of Abraham
Lincoln. He was appointed United
States district Judge by President
Harrison. It was through the de-
cisions of Judge Grosscup, soon after
his appointment, that the World's
Fair at Chicago was not closed on
Sundays.
Judge Grosscup incurred the bitter
enmity of union labor throughout the
United States by Issuing an injunc-
tion against Eugene V. Debs and
other labor leaders In 1894, restrain-
ing them from Inciting mob violence.
When the order of court was violated
he sent telegrams to the president
for Federal troops to quell disturb-
ances.
Judge Grosscup was promoted to
Judge of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals by President Mc-
Kinley in 1905. He has since been
the presiding Judge of the court. He
owned stock In many public service
corporations, and in recent years had
been bitterly criticised, especially by
Socialists and Socialist newspapers.

Newton, Kan., Oct. 23.—For nearly
Walter Nine was greeted a week the farmers and their fami-
lies living a few miles south of New-
ton have dined on quail. In a section
of country about five miles square, a
destructive hailstorm killed many
scores of the game birds. The only
place quail could find shelter was
along the hedge-rows which surround
every field. The storm came at night,
when hailstones covered the ground
at a depth of three inches. Instinc-
tively the farmers thought of the
quail they had been protecting, and
in the early morning investigated con-
ditions. Not a live bird was found in
the fields, but along every hedgerow

Thanksgiving turkey that now weighs
32 pounds, and that has been special-

Thanksgiving bird that will produce
