THE PLACE FOR = POOR MAN.
Alameda, N. w. T., Canada,

hiomSoot A's We Suhuu6t
Dec. 22pd, 1909.
Mr. B. Davies, Canadian Government
Agent, st. Paul, Mimi:
Dear Sir--As l promised you about
two years ago that at some future time
4 would let you know what l thought
of Western Canada and the chances of a
poor man making start and support
ing family at same time, so will write
q few facts concerning my own expe-
rience the past 21 months, and what
have done, any able-bodied man can do,
provided he will work.
1 left Traverse country, March goth,
1893, landed in Alameda at noon the
21st, with S3.55 in my pocket,
stranger and among strangers, and
when my family came in Oct, 1898, my
wife had nearly $40, or barely enough
to pay freight on her stove, sewing-ma-
chine and clothes and beds. / COM
menced work March 2Sth, also made en-
try for homestead same day (he man
I started work for loaning me SIS to
pay entrs4ce fee), and have earned
or at least received $47S.10 in wages
since then, and have been idle at least
months of the 81 since came. The
homestead l took had IL acres broke
by former occupant. l paid $50
to have it re2lowed in July, '9s, and the
seed wheat for it cost me $S.25. let
it to neighbor fo, " in elevator clear
of all expense except the seed, and this
fall received S70.10 for my part of
the crops off of the 10 acres, so my total
receipts the past 21 months has been
S54s.10, and my expenses besides living
for self and family have been as fol-
lows:
Entrance fee $500 being paid
for cancellation).. Is. 90

We moved on our homestead July
10th, 1899, have 80 acres in good shape
for crops in 1900. My wife joins with
me in sending best wishes to you and
yours.
You can truly say to any poor man
who pays a big rent to get farm
(somebody else's land) or works for
wages to support family, that have
personally tried both in Minnesota and
tried hard TO make success of it, but
found to my sorrow that after working
hard poor living was all could get
out of it, and after nearly 2 years OF
Western Canadian life l will say that
am very thankful to you for helping
me to decide to try it in Canada.
Yours respectfully,
w. II. KINKADE.

THE LETTER CARRIERS.
Annual Convention and Other Themes
Discussed by Mr.. Victory.


In a talk with a representative Of The
Star today, Mr.. John F. Victory, for eight
years secretary of the National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers. made the following
statement anent the meeting. of the Ma
tional Association of Letter Carriers in
Detroit yesterday:
1.-THE association meets in convention in
Detroit today for the eleventh time. The
practice of holding the annual conventions
on Labor day began In 1895, when In Phil
adelphia the formal opening of the conven-
| ton was preceded by an imposing street
parade, in which more than 1900 letter car
| riers took part, headed by the United
States Marine Band.
by the way. an interesting "reminiscences
to me is the memory of how the band was
gotten away from this city on national
holiday against the printed and otherwise
expressed protests of many residents of
the national capital. 1 dealt with ex-Rep-
| resentative McAdoo Gan old-time friend Of
who wanted the band In two sections to
head their two parades that year dealt
with Leader Fanciuli. Mr.. McAdoo was
| then acting secretary Of the navy, and Sec
rotary Herbert was absent. The greatest
trouble had was in getting the required
consent of the musical unions of Philadel-
phia, but even this difficulty was overcome.
In the parade the band was the feature,
was banQueted at the Walton and attended
the opening session of the convention in
the Academy of Music in the evening. No
other convention in the history of the asso-
citation has been attended by a Postmaster
General.
I'm Detroit yesterday there was a street
parade of considerable proportions. Per-
haps 1,5oO uniformed carriers were in line
The primary objects Of the association are
to improve the condition and protect the
position of letter carriers. Just now. as
for the last ten years. 1t is concerned in
securing from Congress an increase of sal
airy. At present the maximum salary of
letter carriers in cities with over $1,000
population is 81 600: in cities with lesser
population, $3.50. The bill pending in Con-
gress, and which has pended and pended
in the last five Congresses. is now before
the House committee on post offices and
post roads. Chairman Loud is opposed to
its passage and prevented it's being favor
ably reported to the House in the last
| session"

Lee Jung Resents BEING Called Boxer
and Gets Into Court

and Gets Into Court.
Lee Jung, Chinese laundryman at No.
PIP L street northwest, walked out of the
Police Court building this morning putting
a cigar as happy as If he had been an
American, and had escaped from Pekin.
His visit to the court had cost him SIS. but
Lee was more than satisfied with such an
ending of an affair last night, the particu-
lars of which were that he had been called
Boxer and had been SO much annoyed
that he threw an empty ginger ale bottle
at his tormenters. Unfortunately the bot
tie struck a small coiored girl, and then the
girls friends attempted to avenge the al
legged wrong.
Lee Jung blew his distress whistle long
and loud and then shouted for help at the
top OF his voice. Finally Policeman Jack
responded, and the celestial, who was badly
frightened. though. uninjured, was placed
under arrest. He expressed himself as
being very sorry for. the result OF the bottle
throwing, but the policeman could not ex-
cuse him. Lee left $40 collateral at the
station, and this morning he went to court
to make an explanation OF the trouble. The
result was that he got s. OF the amount
hooh.

ANOTHER VERSION.
What n Passenger Says of Accident Mt
Chesapeake Junction.

Chesapeake Junction.
Mr.. w. w. Wilson. who was a passenger
Sunday night, accompanied by his wife and
two children, on the Chesapeake Beach
railroad train which met with an accident
near the junction through a misplaced
switch, whereby the conductor lost his life,
said to Star reporter today:
1.-The account Of the affair as published
in The Star Is undoubtedly correct bu; as
1, together with my wife and children, was
on the incoming train, and feel that our
escape from injury, perhaps death, was eX-
ceedingly narrow. L beg leave to correct
President Mears in one or two of his state
ments. That gentleman says the shock
was no greater than that following the or
binary coupling of railroad cars. The shock
was something awful, followed by breaking
glass, women's screams and children s
cries. 1t was great enough to hurl one I'M
fortunate to his death and painfully injure
many others. 1t dashed my little girl from
her seat to the floor, several yards away,
while able-bodied young men We're thrown
fiat on the floor. The number of people
who were hurt and bruised may never be
known, for many left the scene as speedily
as possible, not caring to- be approached
regarding the affair.
President Mears also states that fully
200 people left the scene unaware of any
thing unusual having happened. Tnis is
certainly not correct. for the coaches were
deserted as hurriedly possible, and in
walking through the empty cars the broken
doors and windows, together with the
blood-stained floor. would have told the
the time of the occurrence. Then the tenn
porary conversion of the depot into hos
pital where lay one dead and several badly
rt.swould also have told sorry tale.
But for the pr0mptness of the engineer
in applying the airbrakes the occurrence
would have been appalling in it's results"
