SURPRISE is expressed in England that so wealthy nobleman as the duke of Westminster should have been willing to sell Cliveden, even at the handsome price Mr. Astor offered for it. But the sale adds S50,o00 a year to the dukes income. and as he has family of ten children to provide for, an embarrass- mcnt of younger sons whom it is not now as easy as formerly to establish properly in life, the dukes motives in disposing of the fine property are not difficult to discern.

THE LEVEL PRAIRIE.
A Winnipeg Man Might Ride Long Before
 Reaching the Hills.

of the horse could stand it,'' said a well-known resident of Winnipeg, Man itoba. recently, "a man could leave Winnipeg and ride one thousand miles west and northwest over level prairie before he would be obstructed by the mountains. This gives an idea of the great territory lying west of Winnipeg, which, to the eastern man, seems way out of the world.
 The soil of this prairie produces the finest spring wheat grown anywhere, and this enormous plain I've just men toned will in a few years be the great granary of the world. Eastern parties have a misty idea of our expansive ter ritory. We are just commencing to grow wheat compared to a decade hence, though our crop two years ago was thirty million bushels.
 We have but little snow. and in the many years l have resided in Mani toba never saw the tops of the bright prairie grass covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat and we are becoming great cat tie country. While most of our settlers are from across the water, yet the num- per Irom the western states IS yearly increasing. We have no wild west iron tier scenes. There are no settlers killed over disputed claims. as has been an everyday story in the west for years. Our homestead laws require a three years residence of six months each. Land may be pre-empted, too.
 Gold has been discovered in wonder fully rich quartz deposits d few miles east of Winnipeg and paying mills have just been erected by Minneapolis capitalists. l predict a rush to the Lake of the Woods district next year. Winnipeg has thirty-five thousand in- habitants and is thriving city. Our winters are cold, but we do not mind them. The atmosphere is dry and the days are clear, fresh and sunny, murkv weather being almost unknown. ''. Washington Star.

Among the leading authorities on the
conditions OF finance is the american Ag-

outlook for crops and prices, it says:
Present indications point to a crop OF

There is the usual quantity of rye, and
the supply OF hay is over SO, 600, 900 tons.
Uncle Sam is surely not on the way to
the poorhouse when the hay crop is be-
iieved to represent value to the farmers
of 81 900, 900. coo. Corn, at 45 cents per
bushel, comes next with total OF S725,

by oats worth $1S5, 600 600, if valued at 80
cents per bushel on the farm. Potatoes

A Cheerful View.

'"The business of the country is I'M
doubtedly recovering from the recent
panic" remarked Marcus Daily to a
newspaper lately. 1.-The copper COM
panies are naturally among the first to
feel the stimulus. Copper is very low,
but the demand shows steady increase.
The American market, which has been
dead, shows signs of life, and good
deal OF copper is going into consumption
in this country in addition to the in
creased consumption abroad. This is
why the Anaconda has put on $50 more
men within week and will gradually in
crease the force as rapidly as the market
will stand the product. Other companies
here will do the same thing. We shall
continue active operations. Industrial
activity either in Europe or the United
States means the consumption of plenty
OF copper and that means prosperity to
Butte and to great extent to the state at
large. We have already started on the
upward grade and the improvement will
be steady, though not perhaps rapid
