There is more Catarrh in this section OF

gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con.

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.

No Carnival.

The St. Paul winter carnival is off.
At a meeting of the association it was
concluded that it would be impossible
to carry out the plans of the proposed
carnival on account of the warm
weather. This is the second time in
the history of St. Paul that winter
carnival has melted away. 1t is about
10 years ago since an association was
formed for the purpose of holding a
carnival, to embrace an ice palace,
with winter sports. It was conducted
quite successfully one year, but the
following winter the weather proved
traitrous, and the idea was abandoned.

Money In Beet9.


The officials of the Minnesota Beet
Sugar factory are busy making ar
engagements for the coming season, and
they have seven canvassers in the
country at the present time making
contracts with the farmers, who will
grow beets for the factory this year.
About 1900 persons were engaged in
the work last year, with total acre
age of about 1000 acres. It's expected
that not less than 5000 acres will be
devoted to beets this year. The cult
walton of beets was found to be very
profitable last year, large number of
the farmers making from $50 to SIS an
acre, and some making as much as 500.
Very little trouble is found in making
contracts this year as result.

Sir-Thinking that my experience

with the intention of settling there,
have much pleasure in stating that
through information received from
Mr.. w. F. McCreary, Immigration
Commissioner at Winnipeg, I was in
duced to visit Manitoba in February,
1898. WhenI called upon Mr.. McCreary
he spared no pains to give me all
the information, &C., in his possession,
the result of which was that I came
here with letter of introduction from
him to the Secretary of the Virden
Board of Trade. That gentleman pro-
vided me with competent land guide
and altho' there was considerable
snow on the ground, I had no dill
Guilty in selecting three homesteads
for myself and sons. Having made the
necessary homestead entries at the
Land Office in Brandon, I returned to
my home in Lyon County, Minnesota,
and came back here in May following
accompanied by enc of my boys, bring
ing with us two teams of horses, i'm
plements, &c. Our first work was to
erect temporary shanty and stable,
after which we broke and levelled IS
acres and put up 30 tons of hay. I
went back to Minnesota about goth
July, leaving my son here. I returned
in October bringing my family with
me. I found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality being
strong clay loum with clay subsoil
Last Spring I sowed 100 acres in
wheat, so acres in oats & barley (75
acres of this grain was sowed on
''goback" plowed last Spring.) My
crop was threshed in October, the re.
suit being over 200 bu. of grain in
all. Wheat averaged 10 blu. p. &C. and

To say that I am we'll pleased with
tine result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade
quately express my feelings, and
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where lane
is high in price to come out here, il
they are willing to do fair amount
OF work. I am 10 miles from Virden
which is good market town, and
miles from Hargrave where there are
two elevators. This summer I erected
a dwelling house of native stone and
bought half-section of land adjoin

At the Fish Hatchery.

Trout Matching has begun at the
state fish farm. Already there are in
the Matching tanks at the Willow
brooks hatchery more than 100000
eggs and newly Matched fish, and there
will probably be another million be-
fore many days, for there are still a
number of breeders at the hatchery to
be stripped. 1t is expected that the
hatchery will send out more than three
million trout of the Various varieties
in the spring. The distribution will
probably begin in May and it will take
several weeks.
Last year 3,11O,000 trout were dis
tributed, and this year the output of
the hatchery will be about 5000. 900.
About 100000 will be brook trout,
and the rest will be Scotch, California,
or rainbow and steel-head trout. The
state commission has never put any
steel-heads in the state, although the
government has put out good many.

CELEBRATION AT FAY.
Nevada's New Town Observes Utah
Pioneer Day
Especial Correspondence.l

Fay, New, July 24.-Utah's birthday
has been appropriately celebrated IN
Nevada's baby town. and celebrated,
too, in manner that was enjoyed by
all present. Appropriate committees
had been selected in time to get a good
start for the celebration.
One year ago, where the town of
Fay now stands and where 500 today
enjoyed the anniversary of the coming
of the pioneers there was just one little
log cabin, prospect hole, around
which only was heard the howl of the
coyote and the screech of the blue
jay. Today, thanks TO the energy of
a. w. McCune and associates, and his
able superintendent, James McFar-
lane, there are a number of log cab
ms, beautiful dwellings, substantial
business houses of all kinds, a ten-tOn
cyanide mill about ready TO turn out
golden bricks. and the prospect hole
has grown to be mine with ore
enough in sight to keep the mill run
ming for several years, and more than
all, a happy and prosperous COM
munity.
With such conditions it was only
the natural outcome that the day
should be celebrated. People came
from all the surrounding tOwns-State-
line, Deer Lodge, Aqua and from Eagle
valley.
The main attraction was the horse
race between a black mare from
Eagle valley and the Fay horse known
as Keno. The latter has been winning
several races around here lately and
it was thought that a horse had been
found that would leave him behind,
but Keno was again a winner. and

by the Fay Mercantile company and

lengths TO spare in each.

FIGHT FOR DAILY.
Amalgamated Copper Company at
Work in Montana.

Work in Montana.
A Salt Laker who has been in Mon
tana recently and who is in a position
to get on the inside of matters pOliti-
cal says that the Amalgamated Con-
per company has taken up the fight
against Senator Clark where Marcus
DAILY left off. Mr.. DAILY is a very sick
man. He is now in Germany at a
watering place, but the copper trust is
entering into the fight against Clark
with as much venom as Mr.. DAILY him
self could possibly exhibit.
Realizing that Senator Clark's friends
make up the regular democracy of
Montana, the Amalgamated is waging
the war as Republican organization.
1t is purchasing or establishing papers
in all the principal towns and county
seats. These papers are started as Re
publican organs or, in cases where they
had hitherto existed as Democratic pa
pers, they are turned into Hanna or
gans.
Even this early in the campaign the
DAILY element, as represented by this
company, is hard at work. 1t would
rather see a Republican victory in Mon
tana than a Democratic success, for
it is very well understood that Dem
Ocratic success there means the trium-
plant reelection of Senator Clark The
Salt Laker thought every indication
was in favor of Bryan and Stevenson
carrying the state and that a Demo-
cratic Legislature would be elected.

MAN CAUGHT IN A WHIRLPOOL

the whirlpool; rising again only to be
caught by the current that was pour
ing hundreds of thousands of cubic
feet of water into the valley below.
hurled through the great Sluice gate
opening and carried 200 feet through
the foaming rapids of the open channel.
to be finally rescued alive and in a fair
way to recovery, was the experience Of
Peter Smith of Joliet.
Michael Ryan, who is superintending
the work at the controlling works, and
his assistant, John Herman, escaped
the same periIOus journey by the mar
rowest margin.
The whirlpool in the windage basin
had been caused by the raising of the
bear trap dam and the opening of the
sluice gates, through which it was
originally intended that the greater
portion of the 800, 600 cubic feet of
water should flow every minute. The
bear trap has been raised above the
surface of the basin in order that the

Smith. Ryan and Herman were in a
boat crossing over the basin, and had
their backs TO the whirlpool Suddenly
the boat was sucked into the mael-
StrOm.
Herman and Ryan sprang into the
water and swan to the shore but
Smith was thrown by the force of the
whirling boat into the whirlpool, disap-
pearing from sight instantly.
Down through twenty feet of water
he shot. With tremendous force he
was caught by the current and hurled
through the gates. Luckily, his knee
was the only part of his body to come
in contact with any of the masonry;
otherwise he certainly would have been
crushed TO death.
Below the gate he was caught in the
rapids and carried 200 feet through the
wiring, turbulent waters, tossed about

Finally Smiths feet struck the cocks
d the shadows and he managed to
I'D on until rescuers reached him.
