To My Many Friends-I am pleased
to make report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and / had in Western
Canada.
We visited the territories Of Al
berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan
and found them far SURPRISING our i'm
agination, but little did l expect to
find such rich, loamy soil, so much
of 1t, and SO uniform in its level prai-
rie lay. l do think the soil of Canada
as a rule equals If not excels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana
These lands are immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, 1t is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil.
Western Canada, from my point OF
view, offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat. o1ts, barley, flax and
other cereal products. There is scarce.
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea.
son is too short to depend upon ma.
turing field corn. From the stand.

Queer Freaks of the Current Which 10

Queer Freaks of the Current Which 10
Easily Detected.
"I have been much impressed with
the importance Of small things In late
years." said an old steamboat man to
a New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
porter, land the Mississippi river has
furnished me with rather good exam
pies. can understand now why Cae-
sar looked out upon the Nile in such
curious amazement and offered all that
he stood for to the Egyptian priest II
he would show him the source Of that
wonderful river. But the antics OF
the Nile look like insignificant moth
ings to me when compared with the
strange conduct of the stream that
oozes out OF the earth at Itasca and
hurries on>its murky and devious way
toward the Gulf of Mexico. Towns
along the Mississippi that once stood
right on the brink Of the river have
been isolated even in my day, and
there are, too, all along the course OF
the stream little empires in view where
the river has encroached upon small
centers of population, finally eating
the earth away and forcing the In
habitants to seek other quarters.
There are hundreds of these places
that are almost forgotten now, even
by the men who are constantly on the
river. What brings about these VIC
lent changes along the banks OF the
river. Not floods. 1t is just the ordi-
nary doings of the stream. In the first
place the current of the Mississippi is
wonderfully swift, and the sediment
deposited at any point where resist
ance to the flow is offered Is very
great. Tie string to the neck OF
bottle and sink it with the mouth OF
the bottle up and open. II held in one
place where the flow Is normal, In an
extremely short period Of time the
bottle will fill with sediment. Stretch
net across the river, net so finely
woven that nothing but the pure wa
ter of the river can pass through, and
on account Of the rapidity of the flow
and the greatness of the deposit OF
sediment, almost in a twinkling the
river would be damned at that point
Experts have admitted this. This
brings me to the point of my nara
tive. The flow of current is frequently
interfered with by sunken boats, per-
haps by jackstaff sticking up above
the surface. The current is diverted
by degrees, generally touching the far
side of the stream, a mile from the
point where it again meets resistance
and Immediately begins the building
of sandbar. / have seen thousand
examples of this sort during my ca
reer on the river, and have known
of instances where the root Of tree
or the mere twig of a willow have
brought about similar conditions
These things have tended to make 6
/ riddle out Of the river, yet the stream
after awhile, will be handled so as to
undo all that It has accomplished"

time. Finally, however. Miss Tnerese
Schwartz succeeded in persuading him
to sit. He chose the morning hours
from to 9, and she painted him read

sitting for that purpose. He was
pleased with her suggestion and after
ward accepted the bible as present.

Stature of EskimOs.

The old tradition that the Esklmos
are a people Of small stature Is WITH
out foundation. On the contrary, IN
Labrador, Bufiinland and all around
Hudson bay the height Of the men Is
probably above rather than below the
average OF the human race, but as q
rule the women, although very strong.
are considerably shorter than the men.
They are brave, industrious, provident
and communicative, in all OF which
characteristics they contrast with the
Northern tribe of Indians.

Every hour that passes now without the
appearance of unfavorable symptoms in
creases the probability of the Presidents
recovery. From lay point of view the
probability has almost reached certainty,
as is shown by the fact that some of the
Presidents closest friends have already
left Buffalo in the fun assurance that he is
out OF danger. But the attending surgeons
are not quite 50 confident. and with the
natural conservatism of science they hedge
their hopeful expressions with a reminder
that there is still possibility that the case
may take dangerous turn. This POSSIBLE
ity. already remote. grows more so every
hour, yet as long as IL exists at all careful
surgeons will recognize the fact This is
the sixth day since the President was shot.
and as no unfavorable signs have appeared
up to the present time and the attending
surgeons have reported steadily improving
conditions there is strong reason to hope
that the crisis is past. There is reason to
believe that the official bulletins in the pres
ent case have been more guarded and more
reliable than those issued i'm President Gar
fields case, as the treatment evidently is
more skillful. While the bulletins are care
fully wOrded. they fully justify a hope of
the Presidents certain and rapid recovery.

A CRIME AGAINST THE NATIONS.

The murderous attack on President Nc
Kinley has brought home TO the American
people closer than ever before the neces-
sity for more stringent action, not only
against Anarchists, but against the pro-
mitigation of anarchistic views. In this
respect it is found that republic is not
free from the dangers that beset other
forms of government, and that it must
unite with them in suppressing a common
danger. If the American people are thank
full for the universal and evidently sim
cere messages of sympathy from other
governments regarding the attack on the
President they ought to be willing to
unite with other governments in the adop-
ton of common measures against the en-
emies of mankind. Heretofore we have
shown an indisposition TO unite in such
measures. The dangerous nature of an
archism was either not fully realized or

WOMEN ANARCHISTS.

On general principles one would say that
anarchism was a crime for men, not for
women. One can think of women in con-
nection with almost any crime, even of
murder. but that of conspring to overthrow
government and bring about a condition in
which no person would have the protection
of law seems peculiarly foreign to that sex.
Yet some of the most vicious Anarchist
leaders Of recent times have been women.
Louise Michel caused no end of trouble in
Paris, having been once tried by court
martial and condemned to DEATH and after
her amnesty arrested and imprisoned two
or three times. Mrs. Parsons. wife of one
of the Chicago Anarchists who was hanged
for participation in the Haymarket riots,
became a dangerous preacher of anarchism,
and it appears quite certain that
Emma Goldman was the melting cause of
the attack on President Mckinley. Czo-
gocz says that she fired his BRAIN and
there is strong reason to believe that he
heard her recent infammatory speech in
Cleveland. Women sometimes possess ex-
ceptional powers as leaders and orators, and
in advocating q. bad cause they are all the
more dangerous because of the immunity
generally accorded to their sex. But no
false sentiment should stand in the way of
Furnishing the preachers OF anarchism,
whether male or female. The present
aroused condition of public sentiment and
the activity OF the police all over the coun-
try in searching for Emma Goldman, who
is now under arrest, shows that there is
disposition to locate responsibility and
punishment where they belong irrespective
of sex. 1t is to be hoped this disposition
may continue, and that women Anarchists
will be held to the same account and re-
ceive the same punishment as their male
