the whole, she did well: but I agree
with the unanimous finding OF the three
admirals who composed the court OF
inquiry, as to the loop 1t seriously
marred the Brooklyn's otherwise ex-
cellent record, being, in fact. the one
grave mistake made by any Americ'r
ship on that day. Blu after the looI
had nce been taken Admiral Schley
handled the Brooklyn manfully and
well. There was nothing done in the
battle hat warranted any unusual re-
ward for either Sampson or Schley.
In short. as regards Admirals Samp-
son and Schley. 1 find that President
Mckinley did substantial Justice, and
that there would lie no warrant for re-
versing his action.
Both Admiral Sampson and Admiral
Schley are now on the retired list. In
concluding their report the members OF
the court of inquiry. Admirals Dewey,
Benham and Ramsay, unite in stating
that they recommend that 40 further
action be had in the matter. With this
recommendation l most heartily con-
cur. There is no excuse whatever from
either side for any further agitation OF
this unhappy controversy. To keep 1t
alive would merely do damage to the
navy and to the country.

Messrs. j. e. Blum and ]. Crumper
Of Manchester, Washtenaw County
Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last
summer and saw there a Mr.. Shants,
one OF the good old Pennsylvania
stock. who had come recently-soms
seven years ago-from Ontario with
$24 in his pocket. He has certainly
prospered, as he now has ove- seventy
head of cattle. has a good loghouss

crops of oats and barley. After spend

to Saskatoon on the crossing Of the
South Saskatchewan River. OF this
district they say:
"The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in a northwesterly Dr.
rection through the Smith settlement
This is a wonderful district; the
growth was splendid; all kinds Of
grains and roots were perfection. Tho
older settlers had good buildings o.
oil kinds and looked very prosperous
in fact, we came to the conclusion that
we had found what we were LOOKING
for, q good country. While the nature
OF the soil changes and is in some
parts light, in others stony. and AGAIN
heavy, generally speaking it leaves
nothing to be desired. Hay and water
are also in abundance and wood can
be found along che river slopes ana
islands. We have decided to locate
there and shall certainly advise our
friends to do likewise. We also trus!
that this report may have the effect OF
drawing the attention of land seekers
to this district, and can honestly ad'
wise all such to locate there. They
will find a good thing. AS farmer
ourselves, from q good district ID
Michigan, we have come to the con
clusion that, properly farmed, western
Canada will grow almost anything.

Mr.. Wheeler, himself, subsequently re-
piled to Mr.. Gillett, reaffirming what
he had said. and declaring that he
would stand by his words whether they

president purchased a bogus coat OF

capabilities OF the Philippine people,
and declared, with some heat, his be-
lief that Gov. Taft misrepresented the
true situation in the islands for mo-
tives unknown. He asserted that II the
six millions of Christians In the Phil
ippines were Protestant Christians the
cruel lies practiced on them by the
American authorities would have to
stop, as no member would be able to
withstand the wrath of the Methodists.
