! preparation Bill Continues.
! Consideration of the Postofice Appro-

! yesterday. The item appropriating S1.750.-

! principal topics for today.s debate.
The bill was read by sections for amend
ment To the paragraph appropriating for
( letter carriers several amendments we're
proposed to increase the force and 10 put
! substitute carriers upon salary. In the
/ course Of the rather rambling discussion
it was intimated that the Committee on
Postofices had smothered the bills classi-
flying postal clerks and carriers. and in
Collusion with the Speaker had decided
that these measures were not to be con-
sidercd at this session.
Alr. BTOmwel Of Ohio member Of the
committee. resented these intimations, de-
claring that in his individual opinion the
bill would be reported.
The amendment proposed by Mr.. COrliss
Of Michigan. 10 give a regular salary to
substitute carriers was supported by
Messrs Mann Of Illinois and Cummings of
New York The latter denied the asser-
tion Of Mr. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts
that the House was hypOcritcal. il was
an honest House and it would manifest
that fact, he said il it were given an op-
portunity to vote upon the bill. by pass
ing it.
Mr. Talbert Of South Carolina said that
the officials and employees of the Govern
meut from the President down were the
best paid body Of men in the world. and
yet they are always asking for more. In the
House the people Of the country seemed to
be divided into the skiuners and the
skinned. And nearly everybody was in ia

gavel fell and Mr.. Talbert asked leave to

seldom speaks say?
This apparently innocent quest ion caused
much laughter in the House. Mr.. Gaines is

Chairman Dalzell ruled the amendments
relating to letter carriers out Of order as

Chairman Loud was agreed to. making
forty-eight hours the maximum period

white turnip which is fiat, with pur-

cious when cooked. Peel, quarter and
beil in sailed water to which a little
sugar has been added. Boil quickly,
they are much better than when boiled
slowly so hasten the process, being
sure to cook long enough to be
thoroughly done. Drain when done,
and slice, returning to the stove to dry
off extra moisture. Dress with but

ISLANDS WITHOUT OWNERS.
Opportunity for a Government That
Has Lighthouses to Spare.

A series Of low pyramidal masses ap-
pear under the southern sky 1t was
like bank of blue fog fringed with
snowy bands. The whole length of
our seaboard formed an ill-defined
cloudlike aggregation resting on the
black water and extending the entire
length from northwest to southwest.
AS we steamed on, the center groups
became more distinct, and the whole
line rose above the horizon, where we
recognized it as the northern eX-
posture of the south Shetland Islands.
During the afternoon a gentle but
piercing wind came from the land,
bringing with it a CLASSY air and an
easy, silvery sea, over which the new
land stood out in bold relief. We
could distinguish Livingston Island
over our port bow, and northeastward,
melting into the blue airy distance,
were numerous similar islands Over
our sta1iboard bow was Smith Island,
it's base still under the water sixty
miles away.
In a general way this coast line re-
sembles parts Of the Greenland land
scape About the largest islands there
are many small, ice-free isles, or
rocks, which are the resting places of
seals, penguin, cOrmorants and gulls.
On the larger islands there are high
peaks and rounded, domeitke hills,
which are tipped with snow, but their
sides are bare The valleys are filled
with large glaciers, which send
tongues out into the sea. We saw no
glaciers, however, which came out for
any distance into the water. The limit
of the ice was generally at high water
mark where it wasted away in small
fragments. There was no snow on
| the coastal lowlands, but there was
also nothing to indicate vegetation.
From what we later learned Of the
lands farther south it is extremely
possible that MOSES and lichens are
here abundant, but there is no hope
for grass or trees.
1t is very curious that this group of
islands, about one hundred in number,
with a thousand miles of accessible
coast line and several good harbors,
free of ice for much of the year,
should remain unclaimed by any gov
eminent and unsettled by human eff
forts 1t would be a humane mission
if our government would take posses
sion Of this group of islands and place
there a lighthouse, with supply sta
ton for the preservation of ship
wrecked sailors. Vessels are lost in
this vicinity almost every year, and
we do not know but that some poor
seamen are now stranded on one of
the many desolate islands, awaiting
the relief which never comes.-Cen-

and what was done by Mr.. Cummings

miniOn.
Dear Sir-You want to know how |
got along since | came into Northern
Alberta. l am happy to inform you
that [ am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash
ington, on the 10Th Of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make US comfort
able for the family and stock. We
then built four stables, 1SX2O inside, so
that we could put everything inside
them when the cold got down to the
fifties, and worked hard getting up the
stable, and got through clubbing on the
list of December but to our surprise
we had no use for the stables, only for
the mich cow and two span Of horses.
The balance of the horses lived on the
prairie all winter and took care Of
themselves. The doors of two stables
were left open for them to go into in a
cold time, but they would not do it, but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had and looked as spry as
crickets.
| can go ten rods back Of my house
and count ten residents. | know all OF
their circumstances. Every one Of
them have doubled their cultivated
land and doubled their animals, and a
great deal more. All Of us are com
paratively out of debt and an unusually
big crop to thresh and prospects of a
fair price, and | expect we are as well
contented lot of people as there are
from Florida to the Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to
bind some barley, we found that in
stead of taking two pounds to the acre,
it was taking nearly five pounds. Then
you ought to have seen him hitch up a
team and make for town for 100 lbs.
more. I cannot say how it will thresh.
All can say is that it is well headed,
and takes an enormous amount Of
tWine.
