The Most Fertile Region in America.


The famous Red River valley is by
some students of such comparative val
ues declared to be the third agricultural
region, in point of fertility, in the
world, there being one Asiatic and one
African valley in the foreground be-
yond it. This Red River valley takes
in many counties of Minnesota and the
most easterly counties of the two Dako-
tas. It is prairie land of black soil that
once formed the bed or deposit of an
ancient sea. It reaches up into Canada,
beyond Winnipeg, and is a great deal
richer at its southern end in the United
States than in Canada. This region
pours its wealth of grain Tor great
part of it) into Minnesota's twin cities,
there to exchange it for merchandise.
Other cereals and cattle are produced
beyond this valley in the new states,
and the valley itself returns the same
commodities along with its wonderful
output Of wheat.-Julian Ralph in Har-

THEY'RE ALL OVER THE WORLD
The United States Has 10. 900 Pensioners
Living in Foreign Countries

Tho united states III a. 10, 900 Pensioners
Living In Foreign Countries.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The attention
OF Congressman Newberry, of Illinois,
was called to dispatch from Montreal
stating that there was much anxiety
among persons residing in Canada and
drawing pensions from the United
States government over his bill provid-
ing that no pensions shall be paid to
any person whois not resident of the
United States. Mr.. Newberry said his
measure was good one, and its main
object was to bring the pensioners resid-
ing in other countries back to this coun-
try. In Germany, Austria, Turkey,
Egypt and in fact all over the world, he
sid, there were large numbers of pen
sibners of the United States residing
who had no intention of ever returning
10 the United States. They could live
abroad cheaper, and they were raising
families, the sons becoming citizens of
foreign countries, and in case of war
with the United States, they would
fight against their mother country.
when was in Germany" continued
Mr.. Newberry, 81 talked with any
number of United States pensioners who
expressed an intention of remaining
away from home, and, altogether, about
10000 or more of such people are living
throughout the world"

Charles w. Riggin. the boatswain's
mate of the United States steam cruiser
Baltimore, who was killed in Chill dur
ing the recent attack of the mob in VAL
paraiso upon the crew of the Baltimore,

in having the body brought to this

has been forwarded to the state depart
ment signed by the brother and the two
sisters OF Riggin, asking the secretary
to remove all legal Instructions. The
reason for this is the existence of law

New YORK, FEB. IA Washington
special correspondent of The Press wires
his paper that Secretary Blaine's resig-
nation from the cabinet viii, after q
reasonable interval, follow his letter Of
withdrawal as a presidential possibility.
Mr.. Blaine, If he followed his personal
inclination, would tender the president
his resignation at once, but he realizes
that such an act, following immediately
upon his letter to Chairman Clarkson,
would be widely misinterpreted, and
would be construed by the opponents Of
the Republican party either as an act Of
pique or as indicating serious differences
between the president and his premier.
Therefore Mr.. Blaine will postpone
his resignation from the cabinet until
time enough shall have elapsed TO sepa-
rate in the public mind that act from
his announcement that his name would
not go before the Republican national
convention for the presidential nomina-
tion. The reason which Secretary
Blaine will give to the president for re-
tiring from the cabinet win be that of
physical inability to continue to per-
form the arduous and exacting duties Of
his present Office. This is, in fact, the
true reason for Mr.. Blaine's determine
tion to withdraw entirely from official
life. Other motives may, and doubt
less will, be assigned by his critics for
his action, but it win really be based
upon his precarious health.
