Canada spends in the United States three-quarters of a million dollarsa day. The American has come to be almost a dominating factor in Western Canadian business. This is largely owing to the fact that the YVankee puts management as well as money into his business. England has invested vastly more money in Canada than the United States has, but the English investor is an absentee partner in great under- takings and looks for safe rather than large gains. The United States postoffice now requires 20,000,000 sheets of paper annually, and our stampsare printed at the rate of 1,000,000 a day. One machine will turn out 1,600 stamps per minute, and six presses are kept running simultaneously. Rigid ac- count is demanded of every “blank sheet of paper and every ounce of ink or gum. After printing a sheet of 400 it is quartered and if a single stamp is torn or mutilated, the whole 100 stamps of the quarter sheet are burned. So careful has the count been that not a single stamp has been lost in over thirty-seven years. One bad mistake of the democrats in their convention last week was the turning down of the plank for re-apportionment which was sub- mitted by the Northern Minnesota Development association through Secretary W. R. Mackenzie. Thirty- one counties in this part of the state want re-apportionment but the demo- crats refused to heed the wish. The only mention they make is that they are in favor of “making the composition.of the state legislature a true reflection of the distribution of population.” That one move by the democrats will mean at least 20,000 more votes for the republican ticket. Few voters in mnorthern Minnesota will cast their ballots for men who -have turned them down. The democrats say that they are in favor of re-ap- portionment, but when? They have said that for ten years, but when they were in power, how much effort did they make to pass a re-apportion- ment law? The republican platform states that all republican candidates pledge themselves for sucha law in the next session of the legislature, not some time in the next ten years. When Mackenzie ttied to have the demo- crats guarantee sucha law in the next legislature if they are elected, they refused to listen to his proposi- tion. Northern Minnesota will cast a good many ballots this fall, and the thirty-one counties of the Deyelop- ment association are not going to put men in the legislature who do not care to honor what is justly theirs, SUGAR BEETS Expeiiments made in various parts of Montana show the soil and cli- mate are well adapted for growing sugar beets. The saccharine strength is uniformly high and the yield to the acre sometimes reaches twenty tons. The only beet sugar factory now in operation is the Billings factory which was constructed in 1906 at a costof $1,250,000. The capacity of the plant is 1,200 tons a day and during the operating season it employs 450 people. About 125 employees are retained the entire year. The plant is operated by steam and annually consumes 35,000 tons of coal. The beet pulp is a value- able food for fattening cattle and sheep. The initial run of the factory con- sumed the beets raised on 7,000 acres of land, and the acreage for 1909 was between 11,000 and 12,- 000 acres. The factory pays $5 a ton for beets delivered at the re ceiving stations. The average yield of sugar beets in the territory adjacent to Billings is about 15 tons per acre, making the gross yield of the crop per acre $75 and the net returns approximately $40 per acre. The business has been very profit- able to both growers and manu- factures and has had a wonderful effect upon land values and the development of the country in every way. There is reason to believe that other beet sugar factories will soon be constructed in various parts of the state. l BY THE WAY | If you want a boy to acquire the habit of drinking begin by loading him up with advice concerning its enormity.

El Paso, Tex, Aug. 1—Fears of Chinese merchants in Mexico that the natives were planning to massacre them have apparently been carried out, according to advices received at Douglas, Ariz., from Yaqui, Mex. The dispatches say a mob of Mexi- cans attacked the Chinese quarter at Yaqui, killing a2 number of Chinese, including women. Details of the af- fair have not yet been received, but the advices indicate that revolting at- trocities were committed by some members of the mob, ‘the bodies of several Chinese having been hacked to pieces. Murdered for his Money. Parkersburg, W. Va., Aug. 1.—That Judge James A. Watson, prominent lawyer and capitalist of this city, who was found dead on the front porch of his residence, was murdered by some subtle means, after being robbed of over $2,000 in currency, is the general belief here, following an autopsy. Lightning Kills Horses. Flasher, N. D., Aug. 1.—Eight head of horses that were owned by Herman A. Fay and which were in His barn near this city were killed by a bolt of lightning.

BREAKV WITH THE VATICAN Spanish Government's Recall of lts Representative at Rome Not Ap- proved by a Large Proportion of the People of the Coung.y—overthrow of King Alfonso Freely Predicted as Outcome of Situation, Madrid, Aug. 1.—Anarchy, Repub- licanism and a Carlist government, with Pretender Don Jaime at the helm, is freely predicted in Spain, following the sensational rupture of diplomatic relations between the government and the Vatican. Torn by internal dissensions of al- most every sort, with political ~d labor disputes ever threatening a crisis, with thousands of exiles en- camped along the French border, awaiting an opportune time to march to Barcelona and proclaim a revolu- tion, with a foreign war draining the treasury, the country reeking with the spirit of anarchy and now plunged into a religious strife that may alienate the bulk of the population, King Alfonso’s throne is believed to be tottering and monarchy itself fac- ing engulfment in the impending up- heaval. - The complete severance of diplo- matic relations between the govern- ment and the Vatican is expected the moment the Vatican receives the ministerial note that is mow being prepared, supporting the cabinet and King in their stand against the au- thority of the Vatican in Spanish church affairs. Spain’s Roman Catholic press makes no effort to conceal its joy over the decision ‘of Premier Canalejas to re- call Marquis de Ojeda, the Spanish ambassador to the Vatican. The rup- ture with the Vatican and the pros- pective fight with -clericalism will, they predict, result in the downfall of the premier. The chartering of spe- cial trains and steamers to carry the crowds of manifestants to San Sebas« tian, the summer cdpital, to make demonstrations before King Alfonso is advocated. SITUATION IS VERY GRAVE London Diplomatic Circles Fear Civil War in Spain. London, Aug. 1—A civil war in Spain is believed inevitable in Eng- lish diplomatic circles as the result of the recall of the Spanish ambassader to the Vatican and the threatened re- turn to Rome of Monsignor Vico, the papal nuncio at Madrid. The situation is such that it is con- sidered impossible to overestimate its gravity. The Leader prints a dispatch from Rome that the Vatican has warned Spain against becoming involved in a civil war. The Vatican declares that the pope can count on a vast ma- Jjority of the Spanish people remain- ing true to the church and that a war will bring a speedy pverthrow of King Alfonso and either the elevation of Don Jaime, the -pretender to the throne, or the establishment. of a re- public.

Montreal, Aug. 1.—Mackenzie King, minister of labor, has had a confer ence with President Hays of the Grand Trunk and Chairman Murdock of the strikers’ general committee. Both sides agree that the prospects for a settlement of the strike are not bright, but the minister of labor will.continue his efforts to bring them together. The stumbling block appears to be the refusal of the Grand Trunk to take back all the men who went out on strike and the insistence of the men that this shall be done as a pre- liminary to arbitration. Not ‘only do they insist on all the men being taken back, but they shall have their former rights and positions regardless of any arrangements the company has made since the strike began.

Detroit, Aug. 1.—Mrs. Henry Smith of this city was instantly killed in an attempt to disentangle her fourteen- year-old son from a live wire. ‘While he was playing in front of his home the boy went to investigate the end of a wire that was dangling from a’ pole. His screams attracted the attention of his mother, who rushed out to help him. Mrs. Smith grasped the wire with one hand and the boy’s shoulder with the other, endeavoring to free him. Then she fell to the pavement dead. It is thought the boy cannot recover. How To Cure Eczema, Pim- ples, and Dandruff.

Thomas of Sturgis was shot and killed, it is charged, by Mrs. M. Mc- Mahon in the law office of the firm of McMahon & Thomas. Attorney =~McMahon died some months ago, Thomas continuing the business. It seems that Mrs. McMa- hon, following a -dispute over the firm’s accounts, wanted Thomas to va- cate the law office. He refused and this is thought to have caused the shooting. Thomas was the Republican nomi- nee for county judge of Meade coun- ty, was former United States commis- sioner here and was under.indictment in the felleral cqurt for vielation of the law in taking homestead proof here. . Mrs. McMahon is. under arrest. ‘When Mre. McMahon demanded of Thomas ' that he forthwith vacate Thomas is said to have laughingly re- fused and was shot through the right eye. Mrs. McMahon was accompanied to the law office by a woman relative. To Fight Cracker Trust.

LIBERAL PRESS INDIGNANT Expresses Displeasure at Cardinal Merry del Val’'s Telegram Endors- Ing the Attitude of Biscayan Catho- lics, Who Declare in Favor of Civil War—Carlist Leader Departs for Conference With Pretender. Madrid, Aug. 2.—With Catholics ex- pressing hopes that Don Jaime, the Carlist pretender, may raise the stand- ard of revolt and with the socialists in Spain threatening disorders the Imparcial, which has hitherto been unfriendly to Premier Canalejas, ranges itself upon the side of the gov- ernment in the pending conflict with the Vatican. The Liberal press in general continues staunchly to sup- port the cabinet, which has been leit free handed to carry through its pol- icy by the departure of King Alfonso and his queen for England. The Im- parcial says: “We are faithful ‘members of the Roman Catholic church, but we always have regarded the issue not as a re- ligious one, but as a national problem involving the independence of the civil power. Not Spain but the Vatican has created the present situation.” The Liberal press expresses indig- nation at the telegram of Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, endorsing the attitude of the Biscayan ‘Catholics, who threatened to precipitate civil war, and in telegrams to the Vatican placed their lives and property at its disposal for the con- flict. Former Deputy Llorens, one of the Carlist leaders in Spain, has left for Frohsteorf, the Austrian residence of Don Jaime, to confer with the pre- tender. His late departure would in- ‘dicate that Carlist plans for a rising are in no specially advanced stage. WEYLER TO éuow NO MERCY Death Will Be Fate of All Spanish Revolutjonists. Paris, Aug. 2.—All danger of se™i- ous disturbances in’Catalonia appears to have been warded off, says a spe- cial correspondent in Barcelona, by Captain General Weyler's energetic precautfonary measures and his well known decision of character. “The moment a revolutionary out- break in Barcelona compels me as captain general to assume the su- preme command,” General Weyler is credited with saying, “I want the rev- olutionists to know they must prepare for a merciless fight. There will be neither prisoners nor wounded. The hospitals will become useless and the cemeteries will have to be enlarged.” PRIESTS SCORE GOVERNMENT Preach Violent Sermons Against’ Pol- icy With the Vatican: Bilbao, Spain, Aug.-2—The Roman Catholic priests ‘throughout the Bis cayan or Northern provinces of Spain preached violent sermons against the policy of the government in its con- flict with Rome. Preparations for a great Catholic demonstration against the government Aug. 7 are being continued in spite of the declaration of the government to its organizers that mo demonstra- tions threatening disorder would be allowed.
