Stockton, Cal, Jan. 29.-1nformation
has been received here by c. M. HAM
ilton, who wrote the Canadian govern
ment to know what steps he should
take to be allowed to dredge the
streams in the vicinity of Dawson City,
notifying him not to attempt to use a
dredger on British territory, as it Is
strictly forbidden. Dredgers have new
er been used in Canada, and there are
no laws governing them at present.
This will probably cause many of those
who are Quitting expeditions for the

which Is proving very advanta-
geous to the settlers Of North
Alberta, Canada, and is truly a boon to
the farmers, is the establishment OF
creameries by the Government at regu-
lar distances apart. The Government
furnishes the entire plant, puts it in
and operates it without direct cost to
the farmer. From the sale Of the but
ter the Government retains cents per
pound, the balance going to the farmer.
This is continued for three years, when
the government turns over the plant
and business to the farmers, Civ
ing them a clear title of it.
Thus these creameries are put in
at a minimum cost to the farmer
and paid for in way that. he least
feels it. When we were there butter
was selling at 81 and % cents per
pound. Cheese factories were being es-
tablished, too, along the railroad and
much of the freight loaded on the cars
on our return trip, consisted OF butter
and cheese, as it was in the best sea-
son for milk. The produce found a
ready market in the mining and lum-
bering towns and districts beyond the
Rockies, through the British Columbia
country, where it was, we were told,
difficult to supply the demand"
The Klondike is another field now
open to the Western Canadian farmer
for all produce of the farm, and the
officials in the Department of the In

sending out literature describing this
great agricultural country. The agents
of the Government throughout the

literature, which they distribute free.
