A SENSIBLE LETTER.
A western Canadian settler Writes
10 an Illinois Friend.

In writing TO Mr.. Il. Hawkyard, OF
Rockford. ILL.,, MIR. G. Simpldns, of Lee
due, Alberta, Western Canada, land to
which points especiailylo rates are be-
ing quoted over all lines of railway,
says:
Dear Sir-Rec'd your letter the i4th
inst. We have had no snow till after
Christmas, and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are all in good con-
dition. IL Is showing now. That is
what we want-have about 6 inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow il means good crop
the coming season. IL never drifts here.
The weather is calm and bright. We
do not have TO dress any heavier than in
Illinois, and the horses never shiver
with the cold when we take them from
the warm stable, as they do in Illinois.
1t has not frozen ia the stable this
winter.
The most OF the stock runs out, but
there is no need OF IL, for timber is plen-
tiful and there is no expense 10 build
good stables and houses. We have good
log houses and they are very warm.
Two men can put up house 16x24 In
two days. There are good rails for
fences. We live ten miles from the coal
district, the price being so cents up 10
$500. The land is very rich, loamy soil.
from inches TO several feet i'm depth
the hills have the deepest. 1t is roll
ing country, and excellent for stock OF
all kinds. Sheep do well, and there
are plenty OF small lakes where the
cattle can get good water. The cattle
got out of grass last year, about the
middle Of April, and run AT large; un-
less in charge OF n herdsman, we have
TO fence against them. Wheat goes
from 35 TO go bushels per acre, oats so
and 90, very often hundred. As 10 pota-
toes, a neighbor planted bushels and
dug 226 bushels, and no bugs. Roots Of
all kinds do well. There are lots of
strawberries and lots OF red raspberTies,
black and red currants, and gooseber-
ries, where the fire has not burnt them.
Cattle are scarce. ! have been trying
10 buy some for months and have got
only three two-year-old, and paid $50
each.
Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They
sell for cents dressed and cost more
for stockers. Wheat, 50 cents per bushel;
oats, 25 cents; eggs, 30 cents dozen;
butter, Is and 20 cents; poultry was 10
and IL cents dressed. Sheep are scarce.
If you come, bring your farm tools,
but bring no sceders; we use drills.
Bring cows. but do not bring horses
unless you are an experienced hand
in shipping them, for so many of
them are hurt in shipping. There
will be plenty of work for a binder.
Two good horses will break, but three
lighter are better. The horses you
get here can work without grain, but
are better with IL. Ii will he hard TO
tell what prices horses will be, for the
immigration will be very large the
coming spring. They could not be
had last spring at one time. They claim
the best time 10 break is June, but my
experience is 10 break in the spring
and work il. You can break till the
middle OF July.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
VI. Broycr Severely Criticises Chief
Justice Chnmbcrs.

Berlin, Feb. THE correspondent of
the New York Sun had an interview TO
day with NJ. Broyer. Frenchman. who
was an old friend of Robert Louis SteTen-
son and who lived for twenty four years in
Samoa. He left there at the end of Octo-
ber. NJ. Broyer said that he had received
a report in the native language Of tie legal
proceedings as the result of which Chief
Justice Chambers inyalidated the election
Of Mataafa as King. He added
In my opinion the election of Matasfa
was certainly valid. Justice Chambers
had previously declared that he would vail
date the election if Mataafa received ma
jority of the votes. This rendered his de-
cision in the matter the more inexplicable.
If Mr.. Chambers was man of tact and
intelligence he would not have allowed
armed partisans to guard Malietoa Tanus.
Such impTudence in face of the overwhelm-
ing force of Mataafa's supporters imper-
lied the lives of the Europeans, and that
of Mr.. Chambers himself. Mr.. Chambers
ought TO know, and he must know, that
had not Mataafa been a candidate civil war
would have broken out. He has given
numberless examples of tactlessness and
visible partiality toward the English mis-
sions. l consider that his recall is certain
when recent events are elucidated. His
visibility OF keeping himself independent
OF the mission influences, yet his first ac-
tion was to settle in the English mission
house and reside there for five months.
Mr.. Chambers went so far as to revise the
judgments of his predecessor and the con-
suls were obliged to interfere. In the
present juncture he appears to be the in
strument of the English missions in a con-
test with the Samoan nation"

division OF the islands between Great Brit

make the situation worse. They are one

would be preferable to division. The

taxes, and considering the amount of
money they have expended to beautify
their homes TO conform to the beauty of
Government grounds and structures, they
claim the right to call on those who direct
the public works to be as enterprising and
as generous as the officials of other large
and less important cities.
II is safe to assert that in no other town
of half the population is so little done to
clear the streets of snow and prevent sub
sequent flooding as here. Owing TO the
failure of the authorities TO remove the
first heavy fall of seven and half inches
the street railway companies were forced
to suspend traffic for a time because the
sweepers and plows could not instantly
clear the tracks 1t required some time
to push bick the accumulation which it
was the business of the District officials
to remove. That there is no fund for snow
cleaning is matter the public does not
understand or care about. Citizens know
that the removal of the snow is as impor-
tant as any object for which public money
is appropriated, and that it is imperative
the work should be done at once TO save
US from the dangers ana uiScOnloflS OF
streets piled high with wet and dirty snow,
soon to be turned TO slush and water.
One of the objects people have who come
TO Washington voluntarily 10 reside-in-
deed, one of the chief objects of all mems
toll and worry-is TO live under conditions
that are safe and pleasant. They might
as well establish themselves in n Maryland
village if they are to be in danger of
breaking their limbs in snowy and slippery
thoroughfares, of achieving pneumonia
by wading through slush. Is there no bal
ance of the war fund that can be used 10
protect the community from the effects of
too much snow? Some way, any way. an
army of shovelers should be set 10 work in
the streets. Also. it would be a good ex-
ample if the sidewalks about the Govern
ment buildings could be cleared. If no
other way suggest itself. the employees
might be detached from their desks and
provided with snow shovels and brooms.
The present state of the city is intolerable
and there can be no adequate excuse for it.
If the persons who have control of the
highways do not display enterprise enough
to apply remedy they are plainly inef-
ficient

More Fighting ut Manila.

Our Manila cable letter this morning
gives evidence that trouble with the Tagal
rebels under Aguinaldo is not yet at an
end. Sharp skirmishing has occurred since
the general engagement of Saturday night
and Sunday, and some loss has been in
ficted on our Brave troops.
The excessive proportion Of dead to
wounded. disclosed in the casualty reports
from General Otis, amounting to about
one to three, is doubtless explained in the
fact that the Eilipinos are armed with
Mauser rifles of the latest pattern, an arm
infinitely superior to our clumsy Krag-
Jorgensen guns. 1t is very essential that
the Government should ascertain where
these improved weapons came from, and
who is responsible for their being in the
hands of the outlaws. 1t is possible that
a very serious international question may
be involved in the matter.
