While the corner In corn is a good thing for tho farmers who happen to liavo some of that grain to seel at SO cents a bushel, it is not so desirable for industries that use corn as their raw material.

If these men had to wollc from city to city their travels would bear such a lifellko' resemblance to real work that tramping would loso its charm. THE CRISIS PASSED.

Only a few were allowed to enter the enclosure surrounding tho wnys, but thousands of spectn tors clustered tho bluffs overlooking tho works. On the bay Bhoro on tho further side from the ship stands had been erected and these were blnck with people at any early hour. On the bay the scene was most animated. Every pleasure craft and steamer, snll boat and rowbont that could bo pressed into service, hovered around the ship, and these were kept back with difficulty by the patrol of tugs. It was estimated thnt fully 50,000 peo plo saw the big battleship plunge Into the water. The president drove rapidly through the streets and was cheered enthusins ticnlly and In response repentedly lifted his hat. Arrived at the trans port dock, he boarded the government tug Slocum which wns to enrry the presidential party and congressional delegation nnd other favored guests to the scene Of the launching nt the Union iron works.

When thnt wns over he boarded the Slocum once more nnd returned to the Scott residence. Miss Barber pressed the button, Miss Dcshler smashed a bottle of California champagne nnd nt 12:20 p. m. tlje big battleship Ohio took her first dip into the sen. Fifty thousand people cheered themselves hoarse; the big guns of the wnrshlps boomed out n salute nnd every steam whistle within n radius of five miles shrieked its loudest ns the Btcel monster glided into the water, The noise lasted for nenrly half an hour nnd when it finnlly simmered down, there lay the Ohio, peacefully floating in the little cove in front of the Union iron works. Later she was towed ta the dock where she will be tied for a year or more or until finnlly completed. As the vessel Mid into the water stern foremost she created a big wave that, made even the biggest steamers nenrby bob uncomfortably up and down. As for the smaller craft, they nearly Btood on end. Mrs. McKinley wns to hnve pressed tho button thnt started the Ohio down tho wnys, but on account of her illness, her niece, Miss Bnrber, ncted in Mrs. McKinley's place. ECLIPSE WAS TOTAL.

WESTERN CANADA'S DECEM BER WEATHER EQUAL TO THAT OF MAY IN MINNESOTA. To the Editor: Thomas Regan and C. Collins, of Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to Western Cannda last December as dele gates, to look over the grazing nntl' grain lands that arc being offered at such low prices and reasonable terms. This is what they Bay: "Wenrrivcd in Calgary about the 20th. December and although we hnd left winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,, we were surprised to find beautiful warm weather at this point, quite equal ( to what we have in May in Minnesota. There was no snow nor trace of winter to be seen, and the climate was really splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep were running out, in prime condition, with plenty of feed on the prairie, and! really better than that of ours stabled in the south. We are impressed with this country as one of the finest mixed farming countries wc have ever seen. The immense tracts of fertile lands,, well sheltered and abundantly wa tered, leave nothing to be desired. Leaving Alberta we returned east and visited the Yorkton district in Assinlboia. Wc drove out about ten miles at this point and were highly pleased with the splendid samples of. grain wc were able to sec, wheat yield ing 25 bushels, oats CO bushels. Roots were also good specimens. From what wc have seen, we have decided to ' throw in our lot with the Yorktoncrs- satisfied that this part of the coun try will furnish good opportunities for anyone anxious to make tho best of a really good country. Any agent' of the Canadian Government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in the columns of your paper will give you full particulars of the new dis tricts being opened out this year in Assinlboia nnd Saskatchewan.
