FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND

and Is Wei Pleased.
Mr.. s. K Lent was delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement His report is as follows:
I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east one hundred miles by
wagon. I found the country in that
vicinity rich. black loan, varying
from IL inches to feet deep; the
crops are simply something enormous;
wheat and oats by actual measure
ment often standing five feet in height.
/ have been a farmer for forty years,
and consider myself fair Judge of
the yield of grain, and | saw wheat
that would yield 80 bushels per acre,
and oats that would yield 100 bushels
per acre; not one alone, but a good
many. AS for root crops and garden
truck, in no country have / ever seen
their equal for all kinds except corn
and tomatoes; the nights being too cool
for these to ripen well. AS a stock
country 1t has no equal. East of Ed
monitor, on the head waters OF the
Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows
containing from 10 to 100 acres, the
grass standing feet high, and would
sften cut to 4 tons to the acre
From Edmonton / passed through
some fine locations, namely, Weta-
skiwin. Laeombe and other points.
From Mcleod l went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert. 247 miles
north of the main line For the first
nifty miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more of
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
6osthern and Duck Lake I found some
very fine farming country, so good
that | found party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves-one party buying IL sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once
l have travelled over twenty three
different States and Territories in our
Union, and never in my life time have
j ever seen such magnificent crops and
especially as fine stock country.

AN INDIANA PROPHET.
A Strange Fellow Whose Forecasts of
Calamities Have Been Realized.

Rev. Ephraim Miller, farmer, preach
er, and prophet, of near Yankeetown. in
Warrick county. is a unique character.
who has attracted much attention by his
numerous prophecies. some of which
have come true. Miller is a native of
Butler county. KY. by birth. fifty years
ago. Twenty-Five years ago he removed
to farm in Warrick county. He has
been preaching all that time, charging
nothing for his sermons.
Shortly before the assassination of
President Mckinley he had a vision, In
which that tragedy was revealed to him,
and he walked all the way to this city
to tell about 1t, but the people refused
to listen to him, and called him crazy.
He preached on the street corners, and
predicted that the President would fall
by the hand of an assassin.
Miller also foretold OF the destruction
of st. Pierre by volcanic eruption. and
several weeks before the disaster, came
to this city to tell the people what he
had seen. He stood on the corner of a
street, where he preached for nearly
an hour. with his audience composed
principally of negroes, who became very
much excited. To the News" repre-
sentative Mr.. Miller said:
Several weeks before Pelee burst
forth, scattering death and destruction
over the land. | was sitting before my
fireplace at my home. Above the mantel
is an old army musket. While sitting
there | suddenly lost consciousness and
was unable to move muscle. While
was in this condition a stream of fire
and smoke burst from the muzzle OF
:he gun. A voice then spoke In my ear.
saying there would soon be terrible
volcanic eruption, and that thousands
of people would lose their lives. The
voice told me to go and make known
what | had seen. | went to Evansville
at once, but the people refused to listen
to me. A short time ago | found myself
in the same condition again. and the
voice spoke IL my ear. saying that
great hail storm would pass over the
State of Utah. and that several people
would lose their lives"

The warm days of the early part Of
the week served to drive many away
from the city who had not intended
leaving until later, and the crowds at
seashore and mountain have been like
wise increased.
The exodus to Atlantic City. Cape May
and other popular resorts has been very
great, and Washington has settled down
to the monotony OF summer. Society
long since took its departure. and the
season at Newport, Bar Harbor, Lenox
and Narragansett Pier is in the full
swing.
From the time that old Sol peeps over
the horizon until long after the mid
night chime all is gayety. Every form
of amusement is in evidence. bathing,
boating. automobiling, driving. tennis,
golf, the more recent ping-pong. and
the omnipresent dinner. not to mention
the innumerable evening parties, all
contribute to the gayety of the season.
and society is happy.
Attention is focused chiefly on New
port. the social Mecca. and indeed, the
doings of the smart set there are quite
sufficient to absorb it. All sorts of
unique entertainments are in order, each
host and hostess endeavoring to out
shine the other in the effort to eclipse
in the matter of lavishness and novelty
OF entertainment.

NEW CONSUL HONORED.
Dinner rendered Mr.. Hubbard T. Smitt
at the Clark Residence.

Mr.. William E. Clark. of 1921 Con-
necticut Avenue, was the host Frida!
night at a small dinner in honor of Mr.
Hubberd T. Smith. who has just been
appointed vice consul general of the
United States at Cairo, Egypt.
Covers were laid for eight. The dec
orations were in green and red, the color
scheme being repeated in the candle
shades and draperies of the diningroom.
Mr. Smith is excessively popular in
Washington. where, previous to his ap-
pointment in the consular service, he
was intimately identified with local mu-
sical and dramatic affairs. He returned
to Washington about six months ago,
and since that time has been the object
of numerous entertainments from his old
friends.
Mr.. Smith will leave the city for his
new post next Wednesday.
