writers ought to be Impressed with this
story of II. % Blowitz. the famous cor

writer who knows the journalist init
mately: "Cne night while was visiting
Blowitz." SAYS my informant. "a bit Of
news came to him by wire. It consisted
of only a few lines. and | supposed Of
course that he would simply wire it on
to his paper and do nothing more about
il. but instead Of that he took n cab and
drove all over Paris. from the house OF
this statesman to that. in order to verify
the report. It was midnight before he
was satisfied that the report was authen'

and had undergone a military trial. A
vessel Of war came up the Hudson in all
haste and landed a flag Of truce at Yer

transmitted TO Putnam from Clinton

THE MOST FERTILE SOIL IN
AMERICA.

What is there in this Alberta, through
which the Canadian Pacific Railway
runs, that it should draw trainloads Of
settlers and settlers effects from Idaho.
Washington and Oregon? The most
fertile soil in America, wood, water, coal
and climate; that is what they say.
This Valley of the Saskatchewan seems
to have been r~ediscovered Of late by
some Washington and Idaho men. who
kept things dark until they and their
friends had secured locations Immediate
" around the few depots already erected
when the line was opened. Then they
sent word Of what they had found, and
their friends are going in by the score:
The country, they say, Is large and good
throughout, and new stations are prom
ised as settlement requires them. Then
Maine, Michigan and Vermont caught
on, and sent up delegates to spy out the
land and report. They gave a practical
answer. They wrote, saying they had
examined the country, had selected To-
cations and were coming home to sell
the old place and 20 where it was worth
while farming. The grain and vegetables
they saw cannot be excelled in North
America, and car be equaled in very few
parts. The cattle. horses and sheep
were rolling fat and standing up to their
knees in rich native grasses. Why was
this not all known before? Because foI
generations only the Hudson Bay Com
panv knew it, and they wanted no set
tiers in their fur country; and when
thew lost hold Of it there was no way Of
getting to il. Now two branches Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway run through
the richest parts OF It.

Less than Oyears agothere was really
no postal system in this country. Pre-
gious to 1877 the mails were carried by
private firms. and rates varied according
20 distance. Carriers often travelled on
foot or horseback. and the progress was
slow. In 1916 some Of the post Offices
issued STAMPS OF their own. called pro
visional issues. The adhesive stamp
was first used in this country IN 1917.
and prepayment was made compulsory
in 1856. In 1865 the stamp containing
the head Of Andrew jackson was issued.
and from then until 1855 the style
adopted contained the proiles Of presi-
