To Be the WORLDS Granarr.

"If the horse could stand it, said
S. A. Rowbothan, a well-known resi-
dent of Winnipeg, Manitoba 10 tho
Star this morning, ga man could leave
Winnipeg and. ride 1000 miles west
and northwest over level prairie be-
fore he would be obstrucled by the
mountains. This gives an idea Of Che
great territory lying west of Winni-
peg, which, TO the eastern man, seems
way out of the world.
"The soil of tl,is pruric produces
the finest spring wheat grown any
where, and the enormous plain I've
just mentioned will in few years be
the great granary Of The world. East
ern people have misty idea of our
expansive territory. Weare just COM
mencing to grow wheat compared TO
decade hence, though our crop two
years ago was 1000, 900 bushels. We
have but little snow and in The many
years ] resided in Manitoba l never
saw the tops Of The bright prairie grass
covered. Catle fairly roll in fat, aud
we arc becoming a great cattle coun-
try.
"While most Of our settlers are from
across the water, vet the number from
the Western states IS yearly increas-
ing. We have no wild West frontier
scenes. There arc no settlers killed
over disputed aims, as has been an
everyday story in the West for years.
Our homestead laws require a three
years rcsldence of six months each.
Land may be pre- empted, too.
"Gold has been discovered in wonder
fully rich quartz deposits few miles
east of Winnipeg, and paying have
just been erected by Minneapolis capi-
talists. Iprrdict a rush to the Lake
of the Woods district next year.
Winnipeg has s., 900 inhabitants, and
is thriving city. Our winters arc
cold, but we do not mind ihem. The
atmosphere is dry and the days are
clear, murlly weather being almost
unknown. - Washington S'ar.

Hawaii's Immense Sugar Plantation.

| ttiNdiIS IHiWtIst sugar AA"htahVh'
Fifty miles from Pala, in the north
ern part of Maui Island, is the planta-
ton of tho Hawaiian Commercial
Company-onc Of tlieu largest sugar
estates in iho world, DR. ]. Mott
Smith says. On the sandy isthmus
connecting wsst and West tau -.ae
shs.e-, ~A-~ was formerly az asl'
blade eten years ago could be
found, can n5sy be seen green pastures,
beautiful flowcl gardens, avenues Of
trees and 12,000 acres of growing
sugarcane. On this extensive planta-
tion is sugar mill capable of manu-
featuring 1870 tons of sugar day.
This great change was brought
about by storing the rain gifts of the
clouds, which for ages had fallen on
barren rocks forty miles distant and
run TO waste into the sea. The work
of transferring the rainfall from the
mountains to the sugar plantation is
one of the greatest pieces of engineer
.ng in the Pacific. Twonty-eight tun-
nels, 3xs feet, cut through solid rock,
some of them 500 feet through, had to
be dug before good results were OBJ
tanned. The water is brought through
pipes, aud they deliver s, goo, 900 cubic
feet of water day. The Commercial
Company owns 5000 acres of land
in this valley, and $4,000 acres of the
tract arc constantly under cultivation.

Ed. CHIEFTAIN:--I have learned
who answered the request of the
principal of the Vinita public
school for window-gl putty, a
joint of stove-pipe and some fuel;
/ expected the history of this re-
quest, if brought to light, would
reveal the amplitude of the pro-
vision made for the support of our
schools; have discovered the gold
mine from which this amply sup
ported school system draws its sup
plies; it is the salaries of the
teachers paid in IA cent scrip
which are taxed to keep our school
houses habitable for their few
shuddering tenants and it is such
schools supported by such expedi-
ents which forms the Cherokee
school system; it is no wonder that
the man who says this system is
good enough for him should con-
ceal his identity and blush to own
his name.
The traditional aim Of our Ameri-
can school system is to prepare
future citizens to vote intelligently;
a school system which denies edu-
cation TO two-thirds of the whole
population is not fulfilling this
duty; much less so when the re-
naming third with the exception
of the children in the Seminaries
and the Asylum are supplied with
educational facilities miserably
and shamefully inadequate; your
schools are having the effect upon
your children which badly organ
lied schools everywhere have-a
dctestable moral tone, and the utter
ruin OF all habits Of order and in
dustry; our modern god, Doodle,
sometimes called "spoils" has our
schools Ia bis grasp. Let any one

IT is not hard to understand why
the politicians of this nation as a
rule are opposed to statehood or
any change in our present form of
government. The politicians
would be much smaller men under
a state government, than they are
now. But the politicians do not
represent public opinion to any
great extent just now. For this
reason and no other the FIVE tribes
will not knock at the door of the
union for admission at present.
But there is a movement in that di.
rection, despite the hostility of the
politicians.

The Strip bill came up in the
senate last Monday and was dis
cussed at length but not disposed
of. Senator Butler ably defended
Cherokee interests, holding that
our title to that country was as
good as that of the United States
to the capitol building. The in
truders he stated were nothing but
trespassers and instead of their re
ceiving the sympathy of the SEN
ate, it was due to the Cherokees.
Platt believed some consideration
due the intruders. He was op.
posed TO the bill because it made
no provision to pay any money on
the land to be purchased. Senator
Higgins gave notice that he would
propose an amendement to pay
tn e intruders $3.50, 900 and add the
cost to the price of the land to set
tiers. An amendment presented
by Senator Berry was agreed to,
providing for the appointment OF
a commission for the extinguish.
ment Of national or tribal title to
ladies'.

Atchison, ST.. Joseph, ,Leayenworth,
Topeka, Wichita, and every town
in Oklahoma and many in the In
dian Territory, were there and took
an active part. Governor Critten-
den, of Missouri, made a speech in
which, among other things he said:
Let this convention speak in such
bold, unmistakable language that
they will hear us when we say we
are in favor, not only of opening
the Strip, but we are in favor of
opening up the five nations of the
Indian Territory and attaching
them, if it becomes necessary, to
Oklahoma and making state here
that will be worthy of being associ-
ated with Missouri and Kansas"
