V Acoordlnf to C. M. Treat, secretary of
Jthe convention bureau , of , the , Chicago
Association of Commerce, tha visitors
'numbered 80,000, but John C Both, pres
ident of th Hotel Keepers' association,
ays they aid not number, mora . than
30,000, It being a fact worthy of note
that the railroad Issued no passes to
thla convention and did not reduce rates
much, their failure to do so belnr to
omi extent made up, by the 3-ent-a-mile
ratea that prevail in the Chicago
territory. The real convention waa held,
as someone has remarked, in the big
Jakefront hotels which were overcrowd
ed with gupsts, visitors and high ten
sion confabs. The marching clubs, which
ppent large sums to attend. the conven
tion, were lavish spenders and feeling
S-uns high because there was a failure
to furnish the members with seats at
the Coliseum. The Philadelphia march
ing club, for Instance, paid out 22,u00
for their expenses and this was about a
fair average for the others. Everyone
benefited by the convention, the butcher,
baker and candlestlckmaker. tne dealers
In the necessary commodities more than
the rest, and the hotel men. provUlon
nen and restaurant keepers most.
V early Won Somlnatlon. .
Now that it Is all over. It transpires
that with no- campaign fund or organ
ization back of him, a clever Washing
ton correspondent. J. C Welliyer, for
merly of Iowa,- nearly won for Iowa the
honor of furnishing Taft'a running
tnate on the Republican ticket. Only the
fear of losing, strength for tha party in
Sr vnrk .futn defeated his bold, sin
gle-handed attempt to secure tha nom
1 nation lor lows, in srii ui "
"certainty." Welllver is poUtlcal ed-
itor of tha Washington Times, an auth
ority on railroad taxation matters and
withal a person of acumen and skill
which President Koosevelt recognlarad
by a special commission to make an in
vestigation In Europe last year. Prior
to coming to the convention ha had
forecasted in correspondence tha pro
bability that Senator Dolilver'a name
would be considered; this cauaed a great
stir in Iowa because of the factional
situation that was Involved In the
probable boosting of Governor Cummins
to Senator Dolllver's shoes should Dol
liver be elected vice-president. Tha po
litical wheel-horses hurried here and
from his first day In Chicago Welllver
waa the center of one of tha hottest
rit-M nf t)i convention, one beneath
tha mnrfacit. Rvin un to the eve of the
vice-presidential nomination Welllver
was the livest wire 1n the contests and
politicians will never cease to bo amazed
at what one man and his pencil was
able to accomplish In national affairs.

The question, "What makes a grain
centerTr is answered in the annual re
port of tha Chicago board of trade for
1907. Just completed, by Secretary Stone,
who said It was, in a large measure, the
.weighing department of a city's grain
exchange that waa responsible. The
statement is made In connection with

handled by the weighing department of
tha Chicago board, and that the clear-

ned Its renutatlon. not only In this
market, but in the chief grain markets
,f the world, for efficiency and accu
racy in weighing grain, coeds, etc. The
certificates of weight, Issued by this
deoartment are unquestioned.' To the
.Axcellence of the work of this depart
itraent may be ascribed in large measure
ttha preeminence of Chicago as a . grain
center." Tha mora dramatio interest of
tthe warfare between the "bulls" and
v"bears" on 'change has eclipsed ; the
equally Important facta concerning the
(tnormoui amounts of actual grain han
fdled in connection with the transac-
klnn. of an Rtabllahed arraln exchange.
rrhe bucket shops, or oourse, merely use
stolen quotations as a gambling device,
no actual purchases being made on the
rtnnr nf anv exchange, al though Vhtilr
advertising makes alluring mention of
"private wires- ana -memoeranips.
Because of this, the Chicago board has
spent thousands of dollars each year in
fighting the bucket shops. The Volume
of transactions on the Chicago board
this year, because of the crop prospects,
promises to surpass the total of 1907. ,

. Winnipeg is now a city of
! 120.0000 Inhabitants. The annual farm
labor problem Is once more engaging
the attention of this city. Between 10,-
000 and 20,000 farm hands are brought
into this region every year by the Can-
v.an Pacific and Canadian Northern,
1 rinclpally from Ontario and the United
, tates. Advices from Winnipeg state
that this year more than 23,000 laborers
tvlil be needed to help harvest the crop.
More of these will probably come from
Ontario this summer than before, be
cause the farmers In. that province re
port that they are well supplied. Cht
raeo more than any other city In the
United States la watching crop condi
tions in western Canada. The wheat
acreage in the three provinces has. in
creased this year 20 per cent and re
ports from Regina show that weather
conditions have been so good that even
the most exacting of the farmers . have
hern satisfied. - Fully 80 per cent of
the wheat ' was sown before tha first 1
ppring rains. The United States now1,
