■WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
\
Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and
Good Prices.
Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906.
Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern-
ment Agent,
lodiunapolls, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
1 promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat.
Well, 1 finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
43% bushels per acre—testing 64%
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
Is fte best sample 1 have ever raised
—bo uniform and even in size. You
may know it was a good sample when
I tell you that I have already sold 2,000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled 9,280 bushels and my oats
nearly 5,000.
If you remember I pointed out to
you a half section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which I said I should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. I am very
glad to be able to tell you that I now
•own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 20,000
bushels of wheat next year. If some

tirmed the Buffalo location and ex
onerated Williams and Minute Clerk
Harper from the charges of graft.
Affidavits have been received by
convention that Williams and Har-
per had an Interest in the townsite
of Buffalo, and the investigation be-
gan. After several weeks the prob-
ing committee concluded its investi
gat ion and reported today that the
evidence fails to establish any proof
of graft on the part of Williams or
Harper.
The convention in committee of
the whole, this afternoon, adopted a
provision that the legislature shall
provide that all state and congres-
sional officers, including United
States senators, shall be nominated
by a mandatory primary, also pro-
vide for a state election board, no
more than a majority of which shall
belong to any party. Provision
shall be made for election of United
ma and fifty-one to Indian Territory,
with two overlapping in which lu-
lian Territory has rather the ad-
vantage.
In the senate, each territory gets
eighteen members, with five chosen
from overlapping territory. In one
of these districts, however, McClain
and Garvin counties are united with
Cleveland for the election of two
senators, which would make It pos-
sible for the Indian Territory end to
elect both. In the district composed
of Caddo and Grady it would be
about a standoff, while in the Payne-
Moman district the Indian Territory
district would probably have rather
the best of tt. Greer, Garfield. Ho-
gan, Comanche and Pittsburg coun-
ties get one senator each. Oklaho-
ma and Canadian together elect two.
So do Lincoln and Pottawatomie
and Caddo and Grady.
In several other cases three or
cratlc and thirteen Republican, ac-
cording to the Idea of the commits
tee. was adopted without a single
change. There was considerable
opposition to some of the districts,
hut the organization tabled every
proposed amendment without giving
a chance for full debate.
A proposition prohibiting bucket-
shops, which was declared to be-
long in a statute regarding crimes
and punishments was turned down
today. Other sections similarly
treated were those requiring the
passage of laws for the regulation
of architecture and prohibiting ped-
dling of foods, medicines, etc.
Favorable action was taken on'the
section providing that, the salary of
a public officer shall not be changed
during his term except by the opera-
tion of a law previously enacted.
An enforcement. commissioner,
with full power to enforce the
liquor laws of the state is provided
for in a supplemental report of tho
liquor traffic committee filed this
afternoon. He is to command the
assistance of the attorney genera!,
county attorneys, sheriffs, etc., but
the grant of authority to him does
not relieve them from responsibility
for the performance of their official
duty.
Section 116 of the report on
revenues and taxation referred to
the legal advisory committee, was
reported back and adopted with an
amendment allowing that taxes be
levied for carrying on any business

Quiet Cynicism, or Good Honest Row
—Which Is the Better?
"Most men,” said the man of experi-
ence, "think it must be awfully nico
to have a wife who takes things aa
coolly as Dave Potter's wife takes
them; but others, more discriminat-
ing, prefer a good honest row to her
style of quiet cynicism. The way sho
behaved the other day when sho
found a letter in Dave's pocket from
a girl is an example of her method.
“‘I don't see’ wrote this girl, ‘how
on earth I can ever live without you.’
"Dave's wife read that gush, and a
lot more just like it, without ever turn-
ing a hair. V
“ 'Well,' she said, quifttly, ‘that girl
Is a fool. If she knew you as well aa
I do she would be wondering how ou
earth she could ever live with you.’
“And that, in the opinion of the di*
criminating few, cuts a whole lot
deeper than a common, everyday rum-
pus."

Senators Much Alike.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has a heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray
hairs In his head than his North Caro-
lina colleague it would be almost im-
possible for the senate employes to
tell them apart.

Guthrie, O. T., Feb. 27. — The re-
port of the committee on legislative
apportionment was submitted to tho
convention this afternoon. There
are very few differences between it
and the one agreed upon by tho
committee some time ago, published
at that time.
in the representative apportion-
ment the most Important change is
the giving of three representatives
to Oklahoma county, which had but
two before. Pottawatomie county
also gets three, those being the only
ones so honored. Caddo, which had
one and a half before, is raised to
two and a half. Lincoln, given but
one before, now gets two, while
created or licensed for the purpose
of dealing in lands outside of cities,
except for land necessary for addi-
tions to cities.
An innovation is found in a sec-
tion of the report on municipal cor
porations adopted today. giving
cities of 2,000 inhabitants the right
to make their own charters. Cities
and towns now existing are given
the right, to retain all their present
rights until otherwise provided by
law and additional rights conferred
by the constitution.

today for a constitutional provision
allowing a local vote on the liquor
question in affected communities,
but were defeated by the prohibi-
tionists by a vote of 56 to 26.
The section which the local op-
tlonists wanted adopted reads:
“Whenever an amendment is pro-
posed to any article or section of
the constitution which applies only
to a definite portion of the state,
said amendment shall lie submitted
only to the voters of the portion of
the state affected by such article or
section of the constitution, proposed
to be amended, and when a major-
ity of nil the votes cast In such por-
tion of the state to which such pro-
posed amendment is submitted shall
be for the adoption of such amend-
ment the same shall become a part
of this constitution."
'Pile section was defeated by a
vole on n motion to strike out by
Delegate Herring, a prohibitionist.
The champions of the section
stated that it was framed so as to
allow Indian Territory in vote alone
for or against prohibition in case
the state-wide prohibition clause
falls to carry in the coming election
and the Oklahoma side remains
wet.
The sect ions adopted provide that
by a majority vote of the members
of both branches of the legislature a
proposed constitutional amendment
may be submitted at the next, gen-
eral election. The legislature by
two-thirds vote of each house may
submit, tt at a special election. A
proposed amendment is adopted up-
on a majority vote of the people. No
constitutional convention can lie
called except on a referendum vtoe
and the question of calling a con-
vention shall be submitted to the
people nt least once every twenty
years. The constitution may also
be amended by vote on an Initiative
petition.
