WEsTERE CANADA Is All
RIGHT.


DsIegstss representing . number Of
neiEhboEing farmers in Clay county,
MIN. who visited the Edmonton dis
tEict Of western Canada last summer
ara evidently very wei satisfied with
the result Of their trip. They think 50
well Of the country that, in addition to
the privilege Of obtaining free home
stead Of 160 acres Of land, they have
also purchased land. In a recent inter
view on the subject, Messrs. C. z. and
A Hughes, OF GAINESVILLE, Clay county,
say:
ave are vel pleased with western
Canada. 1t Is far ahead OF what we
expected. As for the crops, we have
never seen anything that can compete
with them. We have lived in Mime
sofa and have farmed some OF what
they count the best lands in the Red
River valley for ten years, and have
done very well In that part Of the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent free Of all encumbrance, but be-
ieve that this country (western Can
aGa) is so much better that we have
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail
way company one section of land
northeast Of Edmonton, in the Beaver
Hill district. We have travelled through
that part Of the country, and have seen
the grain in the granaries and the
amount Of land that 1t was taken on,
and find that they have grown as much
as so bushels and over to the acre, and
they say that this has not been a good
year, and very little If any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful, and if you wish to put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within few miles. Coal can be had at
the mines for IS cents per ton, or you
can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds
Of garden truck can be grown in album
dance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell US that they can get four and a
half live weight per hundred for hogs,
and for three-year-old steers from $50
to $50 per head, providing they are
good. We viii move into that part Of
the country next summer. All the PeO-
pie in that part Of the country seem sat
listed, and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So
Messrs. Hughes also stated that they
would be very glad to afford anyone de-
string particulars about the country
they had visited the fullest informa-
ton, on receiving inquiries at Barnes
vile, Clay county, before the first Of
June next, when IT is understood they
propose to return to the Edmonton dis
trict.

A hat crush is a necessity for the WOm-

to keep the dust from grinding in hat

bacon into one side Of the scales, while the
man put his fist into the other side, and of
course took good care to have good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the ba-
con up the pound weight was found, and
On seeing II the man said: Nah you see

Just beyond the town limits Of
Rocky Gulch was a shanty in which 3
nan called Uncle Pete lived al alone
During the day he was employed at the
shaft Of No. silver mine, and q great
share Of his earnings was spent at the
"Red Bird saloon. AT midnight one
night there was a landslide on Dog
mountain and Uncle Pete and his
cabin were buried 90 feet deep. When
daylight came g few men gsthered
10 see what could be done, but aft
CT q little talk concluded that the old
man was buried for good, and 1t would
be useless to try to get him out Days
and weeks went by, and one night, six
weeks after the landslide, man walked
into the Red Bird" and asked for a
drink. The proprietor looked him over
in puzzled way, and finally said:
"Say, old man, thar used to be a
critter around yere who looked jest
ike you You amt no twin brother to
Uncle Pete, ar YEP
None O yer biznessI" was the blunt
reply.
Eye needn't be so mighty pert over
II, old man. It don't cost nuthin' to
answer a civil queshun- say you look
like Uncle Pete"
"And what became Of that Uncle
Peter" asked the stranger.
Buried under a landslide"
How deep?"
Bout go feet, they said"
'Purty good man, was hep"
Eyes, purity far. Never heard nobody
complain Of him. Hang me If you
amt as nigh like him as two peasI"
sHow fur did they dig down before
they gin up tryin' to git the ole
man out2 carelessly asked the man at
the bar.
Not q blamed inch. In the first
place he was buried under 80 feet of
rock and sile, and ID the next he badn' I
left no money to pay fur diggin'. If
I didn't know he was dead I'd say you
was him"
aAnd they Jest left him thar'2"
yes, Jest left him thar"
"And nobody was worried nor
grieved7"
Not as I've heard Of"
and he's thar yit?"
81 reckon he ar, and viii be till Ga
briel tOOts his horn"
Then you ar a Iar!" shouted the
Old man, as he pounded on the bar with
lis glass; I'm the Uncle Pete that
was buried under the landslide, and 1
Jest got through diggin' my way out
an hour ago! So they didn't dig fur
me nor worry nor grieve? They jest
let me stay thar and didn't even put
up a grave-stun? Steve Williams
Good Lord, but are you really Uncle
PeteI"
Steve Williams, 1 won't abide IT.!
You 60 to-and old No. 4 kin go to
and the hull town Of Rocky Gulch kin
60 tO-and III go over to Sandy Bend
and stay thar the rest Of my days!"
And out he walked without answer
ing another question and took the
trail over the hills, and although we
sent a deputation to Overtake him
and beg his forgiveness he would not
return.

IEssoN II GRAMMAR.

There were 10 or IS Of Us in the bar
room Of the White Wolf hotel, with the
big stove red hot to make the place
comfortable, when a prospectOr named
Bill McKeever casually remarked that
''it was upon just such a night three
years ago that four Cinnamon friz to
death al the Silver Horn mine"
They friz TO death, did they?" asked
a man in the far corner Of the room.
''Friz to death fur suahI" was the
reply.
81 don't think they did. If them
Chinymen didn't git drowned or bur
led under a landslide they froze TO
death. 1 amt much on grammer, but
when a teller freezes to death, even if
he's a Chinyman, faint no use to make
things wuss nor they ar"
What ye tryiD' TO git at?' asked the
first speaker.
I'm sayin' as how 'friz' is wrong"
'And I'm sayin' as how friz' is
krect. Them Chinymen friz to death,
and thar is them yere as seen EN-
Iyin' thar as stiff as pOkers."
81 amt sayin' as they didn't freeze
to death" said the grammarian. What
I'm shootin' al is the word friz'."
LAR We ackin' fur fuss!" demanded
the other, as he rose up
Not in pertik'ler, though 1 shant
dodge one if she comes. Them blamed
Chinymen frOze to death"
And 1 say they frizl"
The two men stood glazing at each
other over the heads Of the sitters,
when a third man spoke Up-
Thar needn't be no shOOtin' over
this thing. Let's see what the crowd
saws. I'm sorter in favor Of 'friz' my
self"
And 1 say 'froze'," put in another.
Every man but one gave his opinion,
and the majority favored 'froze." In
this emergency the ''friz" man appealed
TO the exception for his opinion, and
after a minute the latter stood up and
said:
As 1 take il, four Chiuymen were
found dead up at the Silver Horn arter
a mighty cold uight2''
That's il, colonel"
They hadn't bin killed by Injuns,
clawed TO death by bars or smashed
BY rocks They had jest died Of the
cold -
Yes, jest died"
"If we was IN Boston, continued the
colonel. as he looked around. wed
say that they froze TO death. If we
was in ST. Louis we'd say that they
friz 10 death If we was IN Chicago
we'd say they suc-cumb-ed to the cold.
Bein' as we amt nOwhar else except
right yere, and bein' as it's left fur
me to decide, shall remark that them
four blamed heathens persisted fur the
want Of a red-hOt stove and plenty OF
whisky, and If any critter wants to

His memory is cherished aud his good

He was one of the great captains Of the
worlds history aud his name and fame
will live through the ages untarnished
by time and undimned by the luster of
subsequent events in this or auy other
country. Gen. Grants military career
has not been overshadowed by the deeds

4 meeting was held in q. A. K. Hall,
Friday evening, to observe Grants birth
day under direction of committee of
Russell Post q. A. K. of which Gen.
Isaac Dyer was chairman. The exer-
cises consisted of prayer by Rev. DR..
Spencer, music by duet composed of
Mrs. Dunton aud Mrs. Benson, reading
of an entertaining sketch, giving many
OF the salient features of General Grants
life and career aud interesting informal
remarks by DR.. Spencer in which he
briefly related several instances in Gen.
Grants life, drawing therefrom the
lesson of the Providence that attended
him in his career as boy, a young man
and as commander in the army and of
the great army of the Union. He re-
ierred to the career of Cromwell and
compared some phases of the work of
these two great men and military
leaders,
The exercises closed very appropriately

bers of the family
The unveiing ceremonies began at 8
