A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields of Wheat I'm which the stocks
Were So Thick 1t Was Impossible
TO Drive Between Them.

To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made a.
trip through n portion of Western
Canada last summer, and writing oi
what he saw, says:
wheat, for instance, will average.
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the.
acre. / saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to drive between them. Winters,
1t is said, are longer than near Duluth,
but the Japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild"
Thousands of such testimonies are
to be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be.
opened up in the Saskatchewan VAL
ley, and advantage should be taken of
this at once. Information can be had
from any agent of the Government,
whose advertisement appears else
where in your columns.
Yours truly,

EXPECT TO SUCCEED.
Conservative Cubnns Confident That
the PIatt Amendment VIII
De Adopted.

Havana. June 10.-The conservative
members of the constitutional con-
vention are absolutely confident that
the Platt amendment will be accepted,
and that several radicals will join with
the Is delegates who have heretofore
voted in favor of acceptance. The last
few days seem to have brought about
a decided change in the attitude of del
egates who had been bitterly arraign-
ing the Washington government for
rejecting the convention interpreta-
tions of the amendment. The strong
pressure from the outside brought
to bear upon the convention to finish
its business and to place the country
on a settled basis has had an excellent
effect upon the radicals, inducing them
to accept the inevitable; and some
of them now argue that it would be
perhaps better to accept the amend
ment, hoping for some form of indie,
pendence, than to prolong the mill
| tary occupation of the island. The
convention will meet in secret ses'
sion to-day. 1t is expected that sew
cral days will elapse before vote is
| taken.
New York. June 10.-Cuban colonies
| in New York and Washington warned
the Cuban constitutional convention
to act quickly on the Platt amend
ment, as the independence of the is
| land was at stake.

CENSUS FIGURES.
Thirty-Eieht American cities Have
Each n Population of 1OO,-
600 or More.

Washington, June 10.-The census
Office has issued bulletin giving the
population of incorporated places in
the country. The bulletin shows that
there are 10,602 such places, as COM
pared with 1873 in 1890, and 3s cities
containing more than 100000 people
each. Of the large cities in 1900,
three, New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia, contain upward of million
inhabitants, the same as in 1890, while
for cities having between 100000 and
100000 inhabitants, those in 1900
number three, as against only one in
1890.
There were no cities in 1900 con-
tanning between 400, 900 and 100000 in
habitants, but at the census of 1890
there were three cities of this class.
On the other hand, there were five
cities in 1900 with population be-
tween 100000 and 100000, but in 1890
there were no cities coming between
these limits of population. OF the
total number of places in the list al
most one-half, or 4,31s, contain few
er than 500 people, while there are
2,501 places of between 500 and 1000.
OF the states, Illinois leads with
930 Incorporated towns, and Penn
sylvania comes next with s33. New
York has 43s. There are no incor-
porated municipalities in Alaska.
The incorporated places contain in
the aggregate 35,s49,516 inhabitants,
as compared with total of 26,079,S2S
persons living in incorporated places
in 1890. The combined population in
the incorporated towns and cities
| constitute AZ per cent. of the popula-
tion of the entire country, as against
al per cent. in the towns in 1890. In
the state of New York, which takes
the lead in this respect, ~ per cent.
of the people live in the cities and
towns, as against 80 per cent. in 1890.
In six other states-namely, Massa-
chusetts, Illinois, Rhode Island, Penn
sylvania, Colorado and Connecticut
more than two-thirds of the people
live in the incorporated places. Mis-
sissippi has the smallest percentage
of its people living in the towns, the
percentage being Is.
