NAMED ON FIRST BALLOT.
Chicago, June 13. The activity of
the United States agents of the Cana
dian government, who now number be
tween 200 and 3K, was instanced by
the disclosure here that one of them,
who sent but one family to locate in
Western Canada in his first year of
sevice, has now a record of over 5,000
Immigrants to his credit. This fur
nishes an explanation of the total of
900,000 American immigrants to Can
ada in the last seven years. This
means that these government agents
have been instrumental in taking from
the United States some $50,000,000 an
nually. Much of this money of course
has been invested in land. This year
in Ohio, the territory of Canadian
agent H. M. Williams, the exodus of
farmers to Western Canada has been
enormous and will exceed the record
of any previous year by several thous
and. This movement has created a
general demand for Canadian lands
and only recently some large purchas
es were made by Toledo people In the
region traversed by the Canadian
Northern Railway. The general
agents of this road at Toronto, David
son and McRae, are quoted as saying
that the unique success of the Canadi
an government's plan for getting set
tlers from the United States has been
so great this year that entire colonies
of people are emigrating this year, I
whereas at the outset of Sir Clifford
Sifton's administration of the interior
department of Canada in 1897, the
emigrants went singly or in twos and
threes. Probably tho world has never
witnessed such an exodu3 to a virgin
country, which was once believed to
be forbidding in climate, as that sys
tematically produced by applying
modern business methods to the peo
pling of an empire.
"DEE-LIGHTED WITH
PRESENT OUTLOOK.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
The president will be kept in con
stant touch with the happenings of
the Chicago convention by special
wire. He is already much pleased
with the situation as it stands at
present, for he sees the nomination of
his favorite, Secretary of War, Wm.
II. Taft.
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Washington, June 13. Negotiations

terests in Japan and Korea, including

TROOPS WILL REMAIN
IN CUBA AT PRESENT
Was Thought It Would Be
Detter to Decrease Force.
Washington, June 13. It is an
nounced at the war department that a
decision had been reached not to with
draw any of the American troops from
Cuba at the present time. It is un
derstood the conclusion reached was
based on representations from Gov.
Magoon and Gen. Barry, commanding
the army of Cuban pacification, that
it might be advisable to reduce the
military forces in Cuba in advance of
the time fixed by the president for
the establishment of Cuban republic,
next February, when the entire army
is to return to the United States. It
is explained that the only object of
wishing to bring home some of the
troops at this time was to increase
the number of regulars in the contem
plated summer manoeuvers in this
country.
A little sugar taken with water not
too cold In case food Is not obtainable
will relieve any feeling of exhaustion
and sharp hunger.

Greek Wind Vanes.
The Greeks as far back as the fifth
century B. C. were the first to make
regular meteorological observations,
some results of which still are pre
served. Their great capacity for pure
science induced them to propound me
teorological theories. At this time
they used wind vanes, and In the first
century B. C. they built the tower of
wind at Athens. The first quantita
tive observations that Is. the meas
urement of rain were made In the
first century A. D. These were made
In Palestine, and their results are pre

TO SEE HIM VICE-PRESIDENT
Spokane. Wash., June 13. Compel
every man and woman who drinks In- ,
toxicating liquors to pay a license,
fee. exempt saloonmen and permit
any one who desires to engage In tha
traffic, the sale restriction being to
sell only to license holders.
These in brief are tho chief points
of a plan announced by E. E. Hall of
Siokane, a candidate In the Third dis
trict for the next legislature of Wash-J
Ington to solve the liquor question In
this state. In which the republican
party Is pledged to local option, while
.the democrats are on,recordaa favor-
Ilng absolute prohibition.
Mr. Hall has been a resident of
Eastern Washington alnce the pioneer
days and is a brother of former State
Senator Oliver Hall, who fsh mentioned
as a possible candidate for the lieu
tenant governorship on the republic
ticket.
Outlining his plan Mr. Hall na!4
that while he is milling to stand
squarely upon the republican stata
platform and vote for the passage of
a local option1 law. if , elected, he will
introduce a measure which provldea,
that the man who drinks the liquor
should pay the license. He added: .
"My plan would be to abolish all;
saloon licenses, permitting any mart
desiring to do so to sell liquor. If &
man wants to drink he1 should be com-4
pelled to take out a. license to do eo
and it should be a misdemeanor for
any person to sell to a man who does
not have such a license. Such licen
ses should be Issued by county and
city, a reasonable fee being about J5
a year for county licenses and from
$1 to $3 a year for city. This would
bring In a larger revenue than under
the present license system, and would
put the burden where It belongs.
'Each license thus issued should
have attached thereto a photograph
of the person taking It out. so there
could be no using of the license ex
cept by this man. It should also con
tain a provision that a conviction for
drunkenness at any time would ba
punished by a revocation of the lic
ense for a period of six months or
year. This appears to me to be the
logical solution of the liquor question;
in districts where saloons are not bar
red by local option."
ARE MANY STATISTICS
Bureau of Statistics of De
partment of Commerce
And Labor Efficient.
WHERE FIGURES COME FRO
Washington, D. C, June 13. Neve
has the bureau of statistics of the de
partment of commerce and labor had
at its command the facilities for col
lecting data that It now has. and tha
government is exceedingly jealous of.
the accuracy of its reports. Time
was when the only available courcea
of trustworthy statistics were the gov
ernment officials of the customs and of.
navigation and the boards of trade an4
exchanges of the country which lon
have supplied tiese reports to the gov
ernment. Now the interstate com
merce commission's activities have
added a great amount of additional da
ta, and the vaxlous bureaus of the de
partments have been made. more use
ful in this respect. In the prepara
tion of the government's monthly
"Summary of Commerce and Finance,"
O. P. Austin, chief of the statistical
bureau, has of course the custom's rec
ords for the imports and exports of
the country, but when it comes to the
internal commerce he would be at sesi
but for the records of the establish
ed chambers of commerce and grain
exchanges. The figures in the month
ly ttimmary regarding grain and
meats, for Instance, are reproduced
with proper credit from the Chicago
Board of Trade's reports; those con
cerning wool from the reports of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce. In
the movements of lumber, oil, coal, to
bacco, Iron and fruit, the figures com
piled by certain trade journals in each
field are given recognition in the same
way. Of course the most imposing o
the country's internal trade figures
are those of Chicago Board of Trade
for the transactions there run Into ten
of millions each month for meat prod
ucts, grains, mlllstuffs and butter, the
shipments of cured meats In March of
this year being over ,O0O,O0Q
pounds. In summarizing trade condi
tions, the government carries still fur
ther the free service to the public per
formed by the commercial exchange!
In gathering daily throughout the
world the facts about crops and trade
conditions which govern prices, and
In giving these facts to the public to
prevent any monopoly of important in
formation by those most heavily In
terested ia the market. The govern
ment reports also are furnished free.
