Another fea ture that is working a hardship on tho railroad, caya Mr. O'Brien, is that much of the wheat -s being delivered directly to the railroad from the wheat fields. It Is not being stored ns much as usual. For use during tho shipping period a special platform has been constructed on the Walter's spur Just below the city and much wheat has been loaded direct on to cars from the same. When asked why the railroad does not provide more cars for the hand ling of ta traffic, the officials explain that the wheat shipping period lasts but two months in the year and they point out it would not pay to have special cars for handling of wheat and have them ldlo during 10 months of the year.

A monstrous ghost of gloom, perched sombrely on the clammy cold corpse of reciproc ity the one strong card of the pres ent administration was the unwel come guest that accompanied Presi dent Taft on his special train which ai rived in this city today. A large crowd of citizens were on hand to give the president an enthu siastic welcome to the city, but their efforts were hist on the chief execu tive, as he was unmistakably cast down and laboring under a gloom, owing to the outcome of the elections in Canada yesterday, which perman ently shelved his only material for a foundation for a second term, and destroyed the one morsel of fruit which was the result of the long spe cial session of congress, following niE own energetic branding of the veto. on all oilier progressive measures, which he is now trying to explain to the voter'. On reaching here, the famous Tai't smile was the most conspicuous part about the chief executive, made so by its absence. The president said: "I am deeply disappointed.

With the handsome majority of from forty-five to fifty, the greatest plurality in the recent history of Canada, her com ing premier, Robert Borden, today stands committed to the policy of "Trade Under the Flag," as a result of a most sweeping cereat in yester day's election of Premier Laurier's government, which has been in pow er in the Dominion of Canada for more than fifteen years past. Trade concessions to Great Britain and her colonies will hereafter be the policy of the Canadian government and reciprocity with the United States is decidedly dead for some time to com-?, at least. Returns that have been received so far indicate that the next Canadian, parliament will be mjj up of 130 conservatives and elgnty-six liberals, a majority for the conservatives (foe of reciprocity) of forty-six. The only weapon that is believed to iu.c ucoi uacu eneciuauy by tne f'.e.s of the proposed free trade treaty was that of annexation or Canada by the United States government. This today is accredited with being the talking point of the conservatives that enabk-d tinm to sway the victory to themselves and the defeat of reci procity. . Seven cabinet ministers who have served with Premier Laurier were among the defeated candidates. The. liberals lost ground in practi cally every province of the dominion. Where they won, their majorities were small. Where the conservative won their majorities were tremend ous Ontario, the leading province ot Canada, declared almost unanimous ly gainst the administration and re ciprocity. Robert L. Borden, leader of the conservative party, will shortly be coioe the prime minister of Canad He will be supported in parliament, by a working majority of members far mors than ample for his pur poses. Eorden, leader of the conservatives, who is seeminsrlv rtofoiio.i li , has earned his right to the leader ship in Parliament if show that he is defeated, some mem ber will resign and he will be appoint ed to the seat.
