ALGER ON THE RACK.
The Secretary Gives His Evidences
Before the War Investigation
Comm ission.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Secretary AL
ger Thursday appeared before the war
investigating committee and denied
positively that he ever, directly or in
directly, had been interested in any
army camps or any supplies furnished
the government during the Spanish
war. All complaints had been investi-
gated, and while there were defects,
they were only those inseparable from
suddenly creating great army.
The secretary testified that no money
was spent out Of the emergency fund
before the declaration of war for the
equipment of the army. 1t had been
supposed large portion of the $50 0O0,-
600 was spent at once in putting the
army into condition. but the secretary
says nothing was done with the money
allotted to him except to strengthen
the coast defcnses. This he explained
by saying it was the belief up to the
last moment that war would be averted.
The secretary went on to state tina,
he had never had any personal interest
in the expenditure of government
funds, directly or indirectly. No con-
tracts for equipment were entered into
prior to the declaration Of war.
This closed the examination and Sec
rotary Alger was asked whether he
wished to volunteer any statements.
but he declined to do so.

WESTERN CANADA IS ALL
RIGHT.

Delegates representing a number of
neighboring farmers in Clay county,
Mimi, who visited the Edmonton dis
trict of western Canada last summer
are evidently very well satisfied with
the result of their trip. They think SO
we'll of the country that, in addition to
the privilege of obtaining free home
stead of 16o acres of land, they have
also purchased land. In a recent inter
view on the subject, Messrs. G. L. and
A. Hughes, of GAINESVILLE, Clay county,
say:
1--WE are well 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-
lieve that this country (western Can
aGa) is so much better that we have
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 it was taken off,
and find that they have grown as much
as so bushels and over to the acre, and
they say that this has not been 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
half live weight per hundred for hogs.
and for three-year-old steers from $50
to $50 per head, providing they are
good. We will move into that part of
the country next summer. All the peo-
pie in that part of the country seem sat
isfied, and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So
