A MINNESOTA FARMER WRITES
OF WESTERN CANADA.

IL Now Located There-Farms Being
Rapidly Settled by Former u. $. Resi-
dents.
The following extracts from lettei
written to Mr.. Benz. Davies, Canadian
Government Agent at st. Paul. Mimi,
give an excellent idea of what Is said
or Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years:
when we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near Dales-
boro, ASA, for a short time we had a
mt Of the blues but now all hands
are settled to business, hale, hearty and
contented, enjoying the finest winter
we have ever seen. We have got very
comfortably situated, with considerable
preparation for crop, and all hopeful.
think this is very fine country, and
II the past seasons crop Is not an ex-
ception, which they claim not, | believe
this Is going to be the wheat field OF
the West. 1t is filling up fast. In this
township last spring there were TWEEN
ty-hve quarter sections of land vacant,
and to-day there is not one; can stand
at my house and count ten houses
where there was not one last spring,
with six more to go up this spring.
This is only sample Of what is going
on all round. We intend to build a
church next summer, right close to my
place, so we will be strictly in line. 1t
would have amused you 10 have been
here last spring. There were crowds OF
land seekers, and sometimes in the
spring the prairie is not very inviting,
ana OF course lots were discontinued.
There was one in the crowd who jump
ed on me for putting a letter in the
paper, only for which he never would
have come here, and he was very hos
tile. but eventually he got place and
to-day claims he would not take thou
sand dollars and move out; so | am
glad he is satisfied.
well, my dear sir, as Arthur Finney
is about to move out in March, with
his family, and also one of my sons,
anything you can do for them to assist
them along and to make things smooth
as possible will be greatly appreciated
by me. i will close for this time, and
will write from time to time to let you
know we are living Drop us a few
lines to let us know how things are
moving in st. Paul.
Yours respectfully,

We cannot admit that It Is the natural
order of things that this great empire
should find itself so seriously embarrass'

whose action in fighting us was put down
by the whole civilized world as futile
piece of bravado. We are prepared to do
a great deal for the sake Of helping the
Government out of their present difficulty,
but we can hardly swallow that excuse
London Herald.
Continental peoples have no adequate
conception of the depth of the confidence
of this country in its ability to do the
work which Boer ambition has imposed
UPON it, and its firm determination not to

done They are lost in astonishment at
the fact that the Government is still in
power, and likely to remain 80, and that
the foundations of the throne and the
constitution have not been shaken.-Lon'

The nation will never fight with all its
force unless the great majority OF the
people are convinced of the justice Of its
cause. Believing, as we do, that the war
was forced upon us by the necessities OF
the case, and that the principles for
which we are contending are the primer
pies of liberty and liberalism, we rejoice
that the controversies which have ragged
for so many months in the press should
now be repeated in the House Of Com
mons.-London News.
In this war Irish blood has been pour

Of Irish regiments. Thus the nation is
being fastened along the path of decay
by two causes. Emigration has already
bred a species of national anaemia. The
ravages of the disease are now being as
sisted by the splendid craftsmanship of
the Beers. Meanwhile the imperial par
lament will recoup us for this expendi-
ture Of blood by imposing on us additional
taxes. However this war results, Ire
