The Canadian Nor thwest.

Ths Development Of the wheat fields
q the Canadian northwest il the
marked agricultural movement Of the
times. The wheat lands Of Manitoba
have been under cultivation long
enough to make 1t an old story for that
province, but the tide of immigration
which is pouring into the territories
farther west is opening up new
wheat district. the extent of which can
hardly be approximated with our pres
ent knowledge Of the country. By rea-
sons both of soil and climate the wheat
producing area is limited. mainly con-
fined to Manitoba, eastern Assiniboia
and Saskatchewan. 1t is In this terri
tory last named that development IL
now most rapid. The Canadian North
ern railroad is building westward
through the valley of the river of the
same name. laying track at the rate OF
two and one-half miles per day, and II
Ia here that settlement IL rife.
Experience at the few points in this
is n great wheat country. the town OF
Rosthern. on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road which crosses the valley, ship
ping this year more than a million
bushels of wheat against $4,000 bushels
three years ago. The road now build
ing runs through the valley for TOO
miles, and the wheat area which II will
bring into touch with the markets will
affect wheat growers in our own coun-
Try. One possibility in this connection
opens q field for interesting specula-
ton. This new field lies within 600
miles Of Hudson bay. and the Canadian
Northern railroad has definite plans for
q line to a deep water harbor on that
bay. For 200 years the Hudson Bay
company has brought all their sup
piles from England for their trndlng
posts through this northern route and
by the same route have shipped out
their annual accumulation Of furs and
pelts. During all that time officials of
the country claim to have never lost
vessel In the straits or in the bay. The
straits can be navigated for seven or
eight months of the year, or as long as
navigation is open on our great lakes.
An examination of q map Of the
world will show that the sailing dis
tance from ports on the western shores
Of Hudson bay to Liverpool II practi-
calIy the same as from New York to
Liverpool. The Canadian government
has just dispatched an expedition Of
scientists and practical steamship men
to survey the Hudson bay waters to
determine the practicability Of an ex-
port grain route. This expedition IL to
spend one year at the work, and II the
conclusion is favorable It will mean
new commercial route which will han
die not only the wheat Of northwestern
Canada. but may divert the export
channel of wheat from our own Red
river valley. This Canadian wheat now
commands premium in the English
market. and II an export route can be
devised which will save the present
cost Of transportation from Lake supe-
rior ports to the seaboard II will create
condition which may revolutfonize
the American wheat trade.-Country

Deadwood. S. D.. Feb. 2.-The Gold

The cause of the strike was the lay

ENGLAND AND GERMANY NOW
SEEM READY TO COMPROMISE

Washington, Feb. 2.-Propositions
Involving a compromise of the allied
powers contention for preferential
treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy by their
representatives at Washington, and
while no answers have been received as
yet, there is no reason for the belief
that the allies will see way to accept
the latest proposition. This compro-
mise has been suggested by one of the
representatives of the allies here, and
while it has not formally received the
Endorsement of Minister Bowen, it is
felt that he will not enter serious OBJ
jections to its adoption, providing the
United States and the other claimant
nations outside the alliance can be con-
WINGED that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to plan which seems to
offer a solution of the present serious
hitch In the Washington negotiations.
France has it in her power to con-
tinue the present deadlock in the
Washington negotiations. For while
the other unallied claimants have out
standing against Venezuela certain
Gilpin observer., 1903-02-05

unadjusesd claims. all of the French
claims are in a very forward state.
The details now under consideration
by the three allied nations are not
obtainable. but in general way 1t is
understood to be a modification of the
allies contention that they be recog-
nized as VeneZuela's preferred claim
ants in the payment of the indemnity.
The plan suggested provides that for a
short period. perhaps six. months or a
year, Great Britain. Germany and Italy
shall receive exclusively thirty per
cent. of the customs receipts of the
ports Of Porto Cabello and La Guayra.
and that at the end of this period, the
exact length of which is yet open to de-
cision. all the claimant nations be
placed on the same footing. and at the
expiration of that time the thirty per
cent. of the receipts of these two ports
be divided among all the claimant ma
tions in ratio based on the amount Of
each nations claim.
The plan is regarded as compromise
which will enable the allies to with
draw their ships from Venezuelan wa
ters without serious loss of prestige.
Whether the claimant nations OUT
side the .tripartite agreement will as
sent to this scheme is not yet known.

COTTAGES FOR
OLD SOLDIERS

Denver, Feb. 2.-The movement
which is being agitated by the friends
of the old soldiers in the state for the
erection OF a number of cottages for
the families of the Civil War veterans,
who are inmates of the Colorado Sail
ors and Soldiers Home. located at
Monte Vista, is meeting with general
approval. The plan has been indorsed
by many of the members of the G. A.
r. Societies of the state. and 1t is
probable that they will help in making
1t success. 1t is likely that the neces-
sary funds will be raised through an
appropriation by the Legislature. but
II this fails an attempt may be made to
secure the money by private donations.
At present, the state home makes no
provision for the families of the vet
Grams who enter. accommodating only
the men themselves. and in cases
where the men have families they are
forced to leave them. The object OF
the cottage plan is to make this separ-
alton unnecessary, and provide way
to care for the dependent soldiers
without causing them to part from
their wives and children. The plan is
copied from the one in existence in
Kansas at present, where the state
while the cottages under the name OF
the Annex, are located at Ellsworth.
Kansas. Rations are issued each week.
to the inhabitants OF the cottages, and
they are under the same rules as the
home proper.
The question as to the location of
the cottages in Colorado has not yet
been determined. although numerous
localities have been suggested. IL is
claimed that 1t is not necessary to have
the cottages in the direct vicinity OF
the home, but that any place in the
state will do. One place that is re,
ceiving great deal of favorable COM
ment Is the vacant state school land
between Denver and Colorado Springs.
Most Of this land is on Cherry creek,
In Douglas county, and 1t ig claimed
that this location is ideal for such
project.

GOVERNOR OF CONNECTICUT
SENDS TROOPS TO WATERBURY

average fifty men each, and the local
companies, a total of 300, arrived in the
city between 9:40 and 1915 on trains
from New Haven and Hartford and
marched to the armory under police
escort, amid the hooting and kissing
Of the crowds that quickly gathered.
Five companies from Hartford. one
from New Britain and one from Bristol
arrived under command of Col. Edward
Schulze. They brought with them two
machine gun batteries. The companies
from Manchester and Rockville also
brought Gatling guns.
When the Second regiment contin-
gent, consisting of FIVE companies Of
New Haven, arrived, the streets were
crowded with people and there was q
noisy demonstration, though there was
no sign of active violence. The cries
of "scab" were frequent along the route
to the armory. Late tonight one COM
pany was ordered to the car barns and
there was great excitement among
those who witnessed the departure, but
no outbreak.
Governor Chamberlain, when asked
why the militia had been ordered out,
said: Because the situation demands
it. I had hesitated about it, but every
effort has been made by the local au-
thorities in Waterbury to avert vio-
lence, and to-day it seemed apparent
that wisdom dictated prompt and ener-
getic action If law and order and the
welfare of the city and state were to be
conserved"

Waterbury, Conn.,, Feb. 1.-Six COM

Connecticut National Guard and five
companies Of the Second regiment,
with two Gatling guns. were called to
Waterbury to-day at the command of
Governor Chamberlain because Of 1.-The
imperative need" occasioned by the
trolley strike situation. The riot about
the streets last night, coupled with
threats of further disturbances to-
night, led to the call for troops.
There was no repetition to-day OF
the violence of last night, but crowds
congregated about the streets and had
to be dispersed by the police, while
there were rumors of an attack to be
made tonight from the barn, where
the non-union motormen and conduc-
tors brought here by the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Company are
Quartered.
During the day all the lines were op-
Grated as usual with the non-union
trolleymen, but though there was some
jeering from the crowds the cars were
not molested. No cars were run after
dark.

DEAR MEAT DOES
NOT AID FARMERS

Washington, Feb. lin discussing
the continued high price of beef. to-
day, Col. j. H. Bingham, assistant
secretary Of agriculture. said:
with cattle selling at the present
low prices. meat ought to be from
twenty-five to forty per cent. less than
now asked by retail dealers. 1t is all
nonsense to say that the worlds popu-
lation has grown far ahead of its avail
able meat supply. If the farmers are
assured of reasonable prices for their
cattle, they will supply all that the
consumers demand. without the slight
tJt doubt whatever. If necessary, the
meat supply in this country can be
doubled and it would be great ad-
vantage to the farmers II the grain and
feed raised were put into cattle. hogs
and sheep.
'If the consumer could buy meat at
prices that would correspond with the
price paid the farmer for his cattle and
sheep, 1t would induce liberal buying.
and the consumption of meats would
undoubtedly be materially increased
and farmers would be induced to in
crease their herds.
"The claim that this drifting Of pop
ulation to the cities has almost dou-
bled the price per head of cattle in two
years is an obvious absurdity. Ac-
cording to statistics the price Of good
to choice steers in the Chicago market
in December. 1901. was $3.50 to 81,
whereas last December in the same
market price for the same grade Of
cattle was $5.65 to $3.50.
