A CANADA FARM.
What . Former Resident OF idihosays
Regarding Western Canada.

Mr.. T A. Tolman, OF Lacombe. Al
terta N w. T.. a former resident or
Cascia County, Idaho, who moved 70
Western Canada in July, 1894, wri'eS
IS follows:
II brought here thirty-four head OF
cattle. fifteen horses. two wagons, TWO
sets of harness and one hundred ana
fifty dollars In cash. / homesteaueu
the southeast quarter OF Section Io'
Township 40. Range 26, west OF the 4tn
Meridian, also purchased q quarter
section of Canadian Pacific hallway
land. / have been farming more or
less all my life, and / am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where l came from.
My capital at present. counting every
thing. is about five thousand dollars.
The yield Of my grain all round In 1871
was GO bushels per acre. This year
(189S) yield Of wheat per acre, 3Ih
bushels, oats, so bushels, barley,
95, and potatoes, 400 per acre.
consider that this is much
better country for man than
where I came from, provided he is In
dustrious. You get free homestead
here. and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy.
/ have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me, and am
much pleased with my purchase, as the
land has already much more than paid
for itself School law here Is decidedly
ahead OF where l came from, and there
are schools wherever there are set
tiers"

over the stairs, while Donald clattered
down and came back again with his
hands full Of envelopes, large and
small.
Zone, free, six for mel" he painted
"and one, free, seven for Dorothy"
And how happy the children were as
they tore open the envelopes and ex-
planned the pretty cards and verses
which they contained. And then Sis
ter Nell came in to show them her val
entine, a great bunch of beautiful roses
and when Dorothy asked her IL she
could guess who had sent them Qor
guessing is half the fun on st. Valen-
tines day., she grew quite red. and
said, why. no; Of course she couldn't;
how could she?"
And just then dear grandma came In
to see what the children were making
such a racket about. And, of course,
they showed her their valentines and
Nell pinned one of her most beautiful
roses on grandma's black dress; and
then, quite Unexpectedly, Dorothy
looked up into the sweet, placid old
face, and asked gravely: Grandma,
did you ever get a valentine?"
Grandma did not reply for moment
and then she stopped and kissed Doro-
thy on the forehead, and something
very bright and glistening fell among
the brown curls. Eyes, dear" said
grandma, softly, "lots of them; but

THE Carlsbad Current denounces the
report that house room In that town is
at premium and Incidentally shows
the difference between cottage and
cattle as an investment. 1t says:
Cottage building for rent Is the most
Improbable BUSINESS possible to en-
gage in. For instance. a person with
81, 900 desires to invest it probably,
and casts about for an avenue wherein
to make the best possible use of the
money; the 81 900 would probably pur-
chase lot and build a four room cot
tage which would rent at say $40. 90
per month or S120. 90 per annun. The
taxes on the cottage and lot would not
be less than $1,000 and possibly 1924. 90.
Insurance $500, and repairs, taken for
ten years, not less than $1,000 per year,
making at the lowest estimate $4,000
per snuum expense, leaving only $500
little over seven per cent interest. Then
the chances of losing this S7S. 90
through bad tenants, for many are
poor pay, is greater than the chance OF
losing live stock on the prairie in q
dry year. On the other hand, 81 900
invested in yearlipg heifers properly
cared for will double in year, SO the
difference between cottages and heifers
rs an Investment is about ninety per
cent.
While this example does not apply
particularly to Ell Paso, there is food
for much thought in the figures.

A NARROW VIEW

There is at all times an undercur-
rent of rumor concerning big railroad
combinations whose effect would be to
form another trunk line from Chicago
to the Pacific by way of FL Paso. The
combination most frequently suggested
is that of the White Oaks and Roc
Island roads, together with the present
Sierra Madre line in Mexico and an
extension to the Pacific. The Colora-
do and Southern and Denver and Rio
Grande linss are also said to be look
ing towards Ell Paso, and the Texas
and Pacific is said to be hunting for a
tide water terminus.
OF course in pone of these GASES is
there any intention on the part of the
roads to build new lines for the sake of
Ell Paso. 1t is the through line that is
sought. Many people are SO narrow
as to declare that the building Of more
through lines would result to Ell Paso's
loss, by taking her jobbing trade away
from her. This is foolish mistake.
The building of new lines and the
establishment of through train service
would tend to build up the country in
termediate between Ell Paso and other
important points. Ell Paso can have
and keep the control of all surround
ing towns If her people will only work
together for the common good.
We will have to fight for all we get.
But Ell Paso wants no fictitious pros
perity. The sooner conditions get set
tied the better it will be; and q pros
perity that rests on imperfect transpor-
tation facilities N ust indeed be short
lived.
More railroads, then. Ell Paso Is
strong enough to stand alone aud fight
her battles even in competition with
other cities.

THE latest explanation of the &C.
contributes of the men of Kansas, who
can give one year republican major
ity of eighty thousand and the next
year elect an ex-confederate colonel
congressman over federal republican
general, is thus given by the Atchison
Globe:
If the women of Kansas had known
how to broil meat on a hot gridiron The
men of Kansas would not have made
the state q laughing stock for half a
decade and pounded the price of real
estate down to humiliating point.
Fried steak has mo more nutriment
than fried shavings, yet thousands of
pounds are chucked into the sour
stom schs OF this town every month.
The Importance of well cooked food
has never been more powerfully de-
monstrated, If the theory of the Globe
is right. And it is probably right.

STILL another system of wirel ess
telegraphy is claiming ate ntion. Prof.
G. r. Sturtevant, OF the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college of
Kentucky, is the inventor and il is
said to have proved successful in every
particular. The college campus was
used &c the field of operations. Sturte-
want says it possesses qualities superior
to Msrconi's system, Ia that instead of
transmitting in waves, which travel in
every direction sent, the messages are
sent in parallel lines in two directions
and can not, therefore, be taken fndis-
criminately by persons not intended to
receive them. Another point of su-
periority, be argues, lies in the sfaot
that the instruments are the,perfection
of simplicity. consisting of su ordinary
dynamo aud ordinary tslegraphic re-
oeiver. The system originated in
England, and this is the first time 1t
has ever been tested in this country.
Prof. Sturtevsnt will continue his
tests.

1T was said when Gen. Butler took
command of the British forces in South
Africa that he could be trusted to
choose his own fighting ground and his
own time and field of operations; that
he was not the man to allow the Beers
to force him to fight where they would
have strong defensive positions in
mountain passes; that he would not
be drawn away from the open country
where the British troops would be free
to operate in their own way with ir-
resistible force Recent dispatches
would indicate that the Beers are
choosing the fighting ground and call
