Theodore A. Burrows, land commissioner.
Winnipeg, said to representative of
T h e urnal:
U Regarding development along this line II,
might! be pointed out that in the fall of
1895. the railway first reached the Dauphin
country, where there were then only few
settlers, to-day there is branch from
Dauphin to Gilbert Plains and another to
Lake Winnipegosis. Many little towns have
sprung into existence and the population of
Dauphin district is now not legs than 10000
people.
In 1898 the, railroad reached the Swan River
valley, which at that time sdid not nave
sone settler, to-day there are at least 5000
people located In that valley. This demon
strates the fact that all the north country
requires, is transportation for its development
as the natural resources of the country are
such as to make it very desirable for set
tiers It is expected that when our railway
reaches the Carrot River country develop
,,,ent will set in with wonderful energy In
fact the land is being applied for very eager

purchased this coming season.

Wheat, oats and fax come to maturity in
this northern latitude with much greater RAJ
pidity than in Minnesota orzthe Dakotas, be-
cause ofithe fact that much more sunshine is
received during the period of growth than In
the country farther south. The grade OF
wheat is No. hard. and we learned at VIM
nipeg that nearly all Of the wheat produced

The saltcoa.s country. on the line Of the

what different from the southern and south
eastern portions of Assiniboia. Here is to be
found small scattering of timber. Redtop

area OF the best land open for free se1ec-
ton to honest tea ers, t. ettlersE who
take up land to cultivate and live upon it.
In the Battleford district stock raising
is gradually becoming the predominant
industry. The entire country is peopled
with Canadians, Americans, Germans,
Scotch, English. and old country French.
In every settlement there are churches
and good schools. In a great measure,
that which may be said of one district
applies equally to the others. The crops
consist. of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
potatoes. Turnips and all kinds of vege
tables are raised successfully. Oats are
now being grown extensively, there being
a demand for this cereal in the district,
and there has never been total failure
Of crops. Settlers enjoy good, steady
home market, in which they realize good
prices for their products. The district is
we'll supplied with good roads, and they
are easily kept open, winter and summer.
Wild fruits of nearly every variety
strawberry, raspberry, gooseberry, blue
berry, high bush cranberry, black cur
rants. etc.-grow in profusion, and small
game is plentiful.
Country's Adaptations. -"*
The country is remarkably adapted for
stock raising, and large shipments of cat
tie and sheep are made annually in grad
ually increasing numbers. In fact, the
better this district becomes known, the
more its fitness for that purpose becomes
apparent. Immense tracts of hay land are
not only to be found south of the Sas-
katchewan capable of sustaining count
less herds, but on the north side there are
areas of rich pasturage. Fresh water is
everywhere abundant, and the country,
being more or less wooded affords ample

it and Regina. 1t is also the prospective
terminus Of the northwestern branch of

from Portage la Prairie in Manitoba.
The Canadian Northern road, running

left for the legislature TO finish upI
Some would read us out Of the Demo
cratic party unless We do just as Simon

Clarke is the nominee for the United

The Democracy of Crawford county
instructed by over / +, 100 majority their
candidates for the legislature to vote
for james X. Jones for the United
States senate, and no state convention
can relieve them of that obligation. 1t
is true this county was misrepresented
at the state convention, but it does not
alter the obligation of the representa-
tives In the legislature. And what is
true Of Crawford s legislators is true OF
all the counties In the state; they are 10
honor bound to vote the wishes OF their
counties az indicated at the primary
election, whether it be for Jones or

Jones and the Canal.

From the Little Rock Gazette

took in shaping the Democratic plat.
form of 1900, which declared for the
Nicaragua canal.
There is not enough In this to make a
case against Senator Jones. The choice
of a route rs between Panama and
Nicaragua was not before the Demo-
cratic convention. Here Is a case where
we must look TO the intention that was
behind the act, as \ court sometimes
has TO do In passing on law. 1t can
hardly be denied that the dominant,
controlling idea of the canal plank In
the platform was that an isthmian canal
should be built. The plank did not
mean to make the building Of the canal
by the Nicaragua route an article OF
Democratic faith, even though 1t men.

time no one thought that the French
Panama company which had been talk
ing about its property and franchises
being worth hundreds OF millions,
would offer to sell for $40, 900 900. This
action Of the French company changed
the situation and gave every Democratic
member of congress the right to change
his views accordingly.
This was the right Senator Jones
availed himself Of when he voted for
the Spooner amendment. ,

started to build canal by Nicaragua
instead Of by Panama, With the rot

Increase In Salaries Recommended.

Below ia an extract from the report
of the judiciary committee OF the State
Bar Association, Messrs. Jacob Trie6er
(chairman), W. l.. Moose and F. d.
Fulkerson:
1.-THE most important question, In the
opinion of the committee, which should
receive immediate attention from the
legislature, is that of providing more
adequate salaries for the judges OF the
supreme and circuit courts. The sal
aries as now allowed by law are wholly
insufficient to enable the judges to pay
their living expenses. They are lower
than in any other state In the union,
with the exception of two, and adver'
tise this state as pauper state, while
our resources are superior to those OF a
majority of the states and equal to those
of the wealthiest. In the opinion OF
your committee, the bar association
should express itself in no uncertain
tones on this subject and should recon-
mend an increase Of all judicial salaries
up to the limit allowed by the constitu'
ton,

THE personal assault last week, in

of Texas upon Senator Beveridge of In.
diana places another name to the list OF
statesmen more vicious than wise. and
more careful of their so-called honor
than of their reputation as u statesman
and gentleman. Bailey's actions can
have no defense, and especially when it
is remembered that he is himself one OF
the most aggressive speakers on his side

his usefulness to his party by his actions
