WESTERN CANADA'S
DECEMBER WEATHER
Equal to That OF May In Minnesota.

TO the Editor: Regain and
c. Collins OF Eden Valley, Minnesota,
went out to Western Canada last De-
cember as delegates to look over the
grazing and grain lands that are being
offered at such low prices and reason
able terms. This is what they say:
"Wearrived in Calgary about the Goth
of December and although we had LEFT
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba, we
were surprised to find beautiful warm
weather at this point, quite equal to
what we have in May in Minnesota
There was no snow nor trace of win
ter to be seen, and the climate was
really splendid. Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out, in prime con-
dition. with plenty of feed on the prai-
RE, and really better than that Of ours
stabbed in the south. We are i'm
pressed with this country as one of the
finest mixed farming countries we
have ever seen. The immense tracts
of fertile lands well sheltered and
abundantly watered leave nothing to
De desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see-wheat
yielding % bushels, oats 60 bushels.
Roots were also good specimens. From
what we have seen. we have decided
to throw in our lot with the York
toner's satisfied that this part of the
country will furnish good opportuni-
ties for anyone anxious to make the
best Of really good country"

ment, whose advertisement appears else

will give you full particulars OF the
new districts being opened out this
year in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan

Washington, May 26.-There was a
report around the war department yes
terday that Aguinaldo desires to visit
the United States, and that he has
made request for this privilege. No
body could be found to verify the re-
port but the statement Is that the
former Filipino chief has said that he
desires to visit the United States to
study the language and the institutions
in order that he may return better
fitted 10 assist his countrymen under
the policy of control to be established
by this government. These are busy
times in the war department In con-
nection with matters pertaining TO the
Philippine islands. While II ia possible
that Secretary Root may be able to
dispense with some part Of the large
force IN the department that was made
necessary on account Of the Spanish
war, especially such clerks and officials
as had particularly to do with the
discharge OF duties relative to the army
in the field. the general
Suspension of HostiIftfes
in the Philippines is adding greatly to
the work Of the department in respect

port OF the Philippine commission in
regard to the civil government was
received at the department yesterday.
and 1t Will require some time and Ia
Dor to go over it's various provisions
before the plan is approved by the sec
rotary of war and President Mckinley
The task of providing the new govern
ment is regarded by the insular bureau
officials as tremendous one, but it is
believed that the commission has pro-
weed a plan that will be satisfactory.
In the main the electoral franchise is
extended to all residents of the island,
but the right is withheld from those
who are in arrears for taxes levied un-
der the authority of the United States
and also to those who participated in
the insurrection after April of this
year and other like provisions.

CLOSING OF A DEPARTMENT.
Postofice officials Act Promptly or
the Garfield Precedent.

Notvithstan nding the fact that the
| Postoffice Department was opened Tor
business as usual yesterday morning.
| there was very little inclination on the
| part of the clerks and employees to go
| about their work and duties. An air of
depression and mourning prevailed
throughout the vast building, and clerks
and employees stood about in groups dis
cussing in low tones the news of the
Presidents death.
How is Mrs. Mckinley" was about
the only enquiry that was put to the
newspaper men. There was feeling of
genuine and deep sympathy for the dead
Presidents widow and the keen interest
that was evinced in Mr.. Mckinley's con-
dition during his hours of suffering was
transformed into solicitude for her.
Postmaster General Smith left the city
for Buffalo at 7:l5 Friday night, and w.
S. Shallenberger, Second Assistant Post
master General. was acting in Mr..
Smiths place. Promptly at 8 o'clock yes
terday morning Mr. Shallenberger came
to the office and Immediately summoned
Bain w. Taylor, Chief Clerk of the Post
master General; John w. Masten, Chief
Clerk of the First Assistant Postmaster
General: n W. Machen, Superintendent
u the Free Delivery System; George W.
Beavers. Superintendent of Salaries and
Allowances. George +. Stone. Chief Clerk
of the Second Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral.
Mr.. Sh; llenberger consulted with them
regarding the closing of the Postofiice De-
partment for the day. The journal was
consulted as to what course was taken
when President Garfield was shot. Mr..
Shallenbe-ger thought it advisable to con-
suit with the State Department on the
matter and at once put himself in COM
munication with Mr.. Hay over the tele-
phone. Mr.. Shallenberger deemed that
the State Department should take the ini-
tiatiVe in the matter. After discussing
the matter for short time it was de-
cidcd to pursue the same course as was
taken at the death OF President GARFIELD.
when Richard a. Elmer. Acting Postmas-
ter General. on September 20, 1881, issued
the following order:
Ordered, That owing to the death
OF President James a GARFIELD, THIS
department be closed for all pubic
business until after the funeral party
shall have left Washington for Ohio.
Mr.. Shallenberger at 1910 issued the
following order:
LAS a token of respect to the men,
cry OF President Mckinley, the Pest
Office Department will be closed to-
day and On the day of the funeral.
The question of draping the Postoffice
Building was then taken up, and II was
decided to follow the act of Congress
Of March 3. 1893. which says: That here
after building owned or used for pub
lie purposes by the Government of the
United States shall be draped in mourn
ing. and part of the public fund shall
be used for such purposes"
The last two postmasters appointed by
President Mckinley are Frank Z. Bald
win. Austin, Pa, and James Wolfe. OF
Eaton. Col. who were both appointed on
September C. 1901.

Tuesday no one here ever heard from
him. His wife died about eighteen years
ago. and his three sons grew up without
any knowledge of his whereabouts.
on Tuesday a stranger came to town.
II was Crcrand. He was told that two of
his sons, Bernard and John. were still
living in York He started out to find the

Last February several dies and scraps
