In letter written from Prince AL.
bert, Saskatchewan, one of the dis.
tricts of Western Canada, by Henry
Laughlin to DR.. c. I. Field, of Chase,
Michigan, and which appeared in the
Reed City (Michigan) Clarion" APP
peared the following:
IF any one should ask you how /
like it up here, tell them am perfect
ly well satisfied; for me it is just the
place. l have as good piece of land
as ever laid out doors. Wouldn't ex-
change it for the whole of Lake county,
or at least the township of Chase.
"Of course l have not been here
very long, but as much of the country
as have seen, it cannot be beat any
where. We had as good crops here last
fall as l ever saw, and everything gets
ripe potatoes as l ever ate in my life.
There is no better place for stock on
the continent than here. Horses and
cattle will do as good running out all
winter here, as they do where they are
fed all winter there. Have built me a
residence and now all want is a wife
to keep house for me. i have some
breaking already done on,my place, but
next summer l intend to have more
done and then will be ready for bust
ness.
"We have had q very fine winter so
far. 1t has not been much below zero,
If any, except about week in the mid
die of November. 1t has been quite
cold the past day or two. We are in
log shanties, and they are just mud
died up on the outside, and nothing has
frozen on the inside as yet. There is no
wind or rain, just nice steady weather
all the time"

Washington, Jan. 25.-The treaty Of
cession of the Danish West Indies Is
lands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at the state de-
partment Friday by Secretary Hay and
Constantine Brun, the Danish minis
ter. The treaty will be submitted to
the senate for ratification immedi-
ately.
Following the invariable rule in such
cases, the state department officials de-
cline to make public any of the details
of the treaty, so that it is not possible
to state positively the price to be paid,
though this is believed to be in the
neighborhood of SIS ,OO0, 900. 1t is known
also that Denmark has abandoned the
position she was inclined to occupy to-
ward the conservation of the political
rights of the inhabitants of the is
free hand to deal with them, without
pledge of American citizenship or of
free trade privileges. So it is assumed
that the status of the Danish West In
dian islands, politically and CONNER
cially, should the treaty be ratified,
will be similar to that of Porto Rico.
Having gained these points in the ne
gotiations, the state department Off
Gals believe that the treaty is certain
to receive the approval of the United
States senate.
1t is regarded as strong point by
the trainers of the treaty that the
people of the Danish West Indian
islands are to have a voice in this
question of cession. The treaty
itself does not contain any reference
to a plebiscite, but the Danish gov

eminent has given notice that before
it ratifies the treaty it will submit
the question of cession to the people
of the islands. Not much objection
is expected here from these people,
as the treaty is so framed that they
are not called on to surrender their
Danish allegiance, and they may re-
main Danes in fact and in name
while enjoying whatever advantages
in a commercial way may result from
a transfer of the islands to the Unit
ed States. The plebiscite will not be
controlled in any sense by the Unit
ed States. 1t is stated distinctly
that the Danish government itself
will take steps to ascertain the incli-
nations of the people Of the islands
before the final steps in the transfer
are taken.
The islands are considered of great
strategic Importance. The initial ef-
forts to secure them were begun by
the United States during President
Grants administration.
st. Thomas, the largest of the is
lands, is formed by a chain of high
hills running east and west. 1t is Ii
miles long, measures three miles at
it's greatest width, and contains an
area of II square miles, The sea
surrounding this island is filled with
small islets, called keys, which be-
long to it. About two miles to the
northeast lies the Island of st. John,
and some 40 miles to the south is the
third island, St. Croix, or as it is per-
haps more generally known, Santa
Cruz. The port of st. Thomas is a
good one, and it is stated that 200
vessels can anchor there with safety.
