WESTERN CANADA'S DECExr
Der WEATHER EQUAL TO y
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Thomas Regain and C. Collins, Of
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to
Western Canada last December as dele
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This is what they say:
1--WE arrived in Calgary about the Goth
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 winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out, in prime condition.
with plenty of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
in the south. We are impressed with
this country as one of the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
we'll sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing to be 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 yield
ing rs bushels, oats GO bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
satisfied that this part of the coun-
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the best
of really good country. Any agent
of the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns of your paper will give
you full particulars of the new dis
tricts being opened out this year in
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly.

HAS THE PAPAL BEE.
Cardinal Rampolla Would Like to
Succeed Leo XIII.
u Said to he About to Secure His Own
Dismissal from His Present High
Office to Improve His
Prospects.

From Rome comes q seemingly
well-authenticated story to the New
York Times that Cardinal Rampolla,
in view of the fact that a papal Sec
rotary so rarely succeeds to the IT,
ara, is about to cause his own dis
missal from his high Office in order
to strengthen his eligibility.
Rampolla is the most powerful
member of the college of cardinals,
and it is said that one of his own
adherents will take his place as Sec
rotary of state. Some of Pope Leo's
most significant acts are credited by
persons protesting an insight into
the politics of the vatican to the pow
erful Sicilian cardinals influence.
Dealing with the rumors of Car
dinal Rampolla's retirement from the
Office of secretary of state, the cor
respondent says he is aiming for the
tiara, and that if the pontiff died to-
day the struggle would be between
Cardinals Rampolla and Vannutelh.
The correspondent adds:
''The Gottis, Svampas and Pa
rocchis would be there to watch the
weaknesses and profit by them. One
of these last might even come out on
top"
The correspondent calculates that
CARDINAL Rampoila is sure of 33 votes,
but needs SO. He concludes two
column dispatch by saying:
"There remains but one obstacle
for Cardinal Rampol]a to- overcome
an obstacle that is immense in an af-
fair where traditions are everything.
1t is contrary to custom for a secre-
tary of state to succeed his master.
This is why it is not inproba BILE That
Cardinal Rampolla will strive to ap-
pear to have been disgraced in order
not to preserve responsibility for an
authority in the throes Of death. In

Suicide Rooms,

In one of the local asylums for the
insane there are certain apartments
known as "suicide-rooms." These are
set aside as harbors of refuge for
those patients who manifest strong
desire to end their lives. Everything
in these rooms is round. There are
no knobs or posts to the beds, for
the maniac would tie a sheet around
any. such projection and hang him
self. For the same reason there are
no gas fixtures and no inside shutters.
There are not even door knobs, while
the doors themselves are made to open
outward. When the men undress their
clothes are carefully removed from
the room, so that they may not be
used for strangling their owners. All
the edges of bureaus, the backs of
chairs, etc., are carefully rounded, so
that there may be no points upon
which the inmates might beat their
heads. No canes or sticks are al
lowed in the rooms. The doors are
left open at night, and . keeper pa
rades necessarily up and down be-
fore them.-Philadelphia Record.

BIG "VARMINT" ROUNDUP.
Greatest Slaughter OF Wild Beasts
Ever known in Arizona Lately

For q long time mountain lions,
bears and wolves have been raiding
the stock on the big cattle ranch of
Colin Campbell in Cochise county,
Ariz. With 10000 cattle on the
range, the heavy losses in calves and
yearlings by the ravages of the wild
animals have cut down the dividends
of the stock company which owns the
range. "Charley" Montgomery, IA

who was chief of scouts under Gen.

Apaches, was engaged to exterminate
the animals which have been raiding
the herds. Montgomery engaged 100

shower of bullets. Dozens of animals
persisted in the attempt to escape, but
200 others were finally cornered in a
box canyon, while redskins and cow

There were scores Of close conflicts
