For some time rumors affect
ing the character of Rev. Barr
Harris, former paste: of the
North Rock Hill Circuit, now in
BoZeman, Montana, have been
whispered in this cummunity and
elsewhere in the State, but Rev.

been informed of these rumors,
has written a letter to Presiding
Elder II. ii. Browne ut Orange
burg, IN which he declares that
there is absolutely nothing IN the
reports, and says further:
"lt was the most outrageous
case of attempted blackmail | evel
heard of. 1t is n long story and
l cannot here attempt details,
but please say to all who ask
about it that Barr is the same
faithful and consecrated man ht
has always been. He is doin2
fine work at Bozcman.
The rumors affecting Mr.. Har
ris referred to his conduct with ;
young lady in Bozeman, ano
while there were many here il
his old home who could not be
lisve they were true, it will be ;
relief to his friends to have th,

SprinSStein Mills
Suffer From Fire.
Seventy Five Thousand Dollars Is
Estimated Loss to Dyeing
House, Engines and Boil
erS.
Special to The State.

Chester, Oct. 23.-The Spring
stein mills sustained heavy ,oss
by fire this morning between 3
and 4 O'Clock. The fire origiaat-
cd in the dye room on the first
floor of the new building, Just re-
Gently completed. 1t was caused
10y spontaneous combustion from
the cotton drying machine. Cot
ton on the hot steam pipes ignited
and in n twinkllng the room was
in blaze. The night watchman
was on his rounds in another part
of the mill, and ono of the fore
man had just left the drying MAJ
chine a moment before the fire
alarm. This new building was
an addition to the old dye house
and boiler rooms and was built
alongside the new spindle mill.
There was only small alleyway
between them and 1T was mar
velous escape for the entire
mill.
In an instant after the first
alarm was sounded Chief Fire
man II. s. Heyman vas on the
ground with % of lis men hard
at work. This number was in.
creased by the full quota of fire
men in less than 80 minutes and
the department performed most
heroic and effective duty. A fire
man was stationed in every win
dow of the spindle mill and with
brave hearts and true grit and
nerve they fought the fierce flames
back with water buckets ard hose.
The window frames were scorch-
ed and n small spot on the roof
near the smokestack was burned,
but not spindle nor thread was
damaged. The engine, boilers
; slashers, bcamings. dyeing ma
chimes and lot of piping were
totally. destroye ed. The loss is
estimated at about $4,000. The
mill will of necessity be closed
down for two or three months.
The work of repairing and re-
building will commence at the
earliest possible moment.
Col. Leroy Springs, the pres
ident of this mill, came over
from Lancaster this morning and
has been among the operative all
day. He is dealing. with them
most generously. The weavers
who prefer to remain in Chester
will be given their homes free of
rent for the next two months. A
night force will be put on again
ut the Eureka mill and the Spring
stein spinners will be furnished
home sat usual rates out there and
their household effects will be
transported free of cost. All the
the weavers who want to leave
will be transported either to-
Lancaster or Fort Mill without
charge. The mill is fully COW
cred by insurance in the Cotton
Mill Mutual. The entire output
of ginghams until May /, 1903,
was contracted for and it will
take until January l to get the
brunt district rebuilt.

900 people. From Port Arthur, on Lake
Superior, to Winnipeg, and for 400 miles
east of Port Arthur-8OO miles in all-the
railroad was built through a region that
Is and probably always will be, sparsely
inhabited except for a little numbering
here and there, occasional patches of ag-
ricultural land, and it's possibly great
mineral wealth, 50 rocky and sterile is
the SOIL And then when Winnipeg was
reached there was practically an UNI
touched expanse from there west to the
Rocky mountains. But insS compliance
with the terms by which British Column
bia entered the confederation, the road
had to be built. Moreover, national ex-
istence for the Dominion would have been
impossible without this truly imperial
railway, extending from ocean to ocean
and binding Canada together. The gov
eminent subsidized the railway to the
extent OF 100000 and also presented II
with ON immense land grant. It received
every alternate section of land on either
side Of its line, through Manitoba, the
Northwest Territories and British Co.
lumbia.
American Railway Connection.
Through the completion of the st. Paul
Minneapolis & -Manit9S~. railroad to the
boundary and its connection with Winni-
peg by means of branch line in 1878
the Canadian west was for the first time
given rail communication with the out
side world. Previous to that time travel
and traffic were carried on over the Daw-
son wagon and water route from Fort
William on Lake Superior, or from Min
neapolis and st. Paul by the famous Red
River carts to the Red River and thence
perhaps, by steamer to Winnipeg. Prac-
tically all Of the imports came by the
latter route, and so close was the COM
mercial connection between Minnesota
and Manitoba that it was charged that
plans were laid on this side OF the line
to annex Manitoba.
Canadian Northern.
The Canadian Northern system is large
ly the outgrowth of desire on the part
of the people to have competition in
transportation. At first it was limited to
the idea Of connection with lake port
but now it has expanded into nascent
transcontinental system, though as yet
plans for it's rail connection eastward
from Port Arthur are vague. The gov
fixing the transportation rates on this
road throughout the province and from
Manitoba to Lake Superior.
Before Railways.
Before the advent of the railways agri.
culture and commerce in the Canadian
west were very primitive. The total
value of the imports was less than $1,000
900 annually and the exports were scarce
ly more than 100000. To-day the farm
products Of Manitoba are valued at $40,-
100000 and the exports of live stock last
year amounted to more than $1,000, 900
and Assiniboia is developing so rapidly
that its wheat output completely par.

this year. The growth of the business Of
the province since the advent of railways
is shown by the following tables:

H. L. Adolph. Brandon, Man.-Brandon
IS city Of about 5000. 1t is called ..the
wheat city and is the railroad and bust
ness center OF western Manitoba.
The surrounding country is a particu-
larly rich wheat growing district. Grain
OF all kinds is grown in enormous quanti-
ties: 1nters2ersed with the wheat lands
are lands suitable for mixed. farming.
Intending investors can rot do better
than to invest in the Brandon district.
Many farms are offered for sale at low
prices and on easy terms. The higher
priced farms are we'll improved. Prices
range from SIS to $50 per acre.
These lands are bound to rise rapidly
In value within a short time.
