Denver August 2.-Governor James
| H. Peaody today issued an address ex-
! planning and indicating his acts in
dealing with the labor troubles in
Colorado. He refutes the contention
that the strike inaugurated by the
Western Federation or Miners at the
ore reduction works In Colorado was
called because of the failure of the
legislature to enact an eight-hour law,
pointing out that it was called on the
18th of February, some five or six
weeks before the adjournment of the
legislature which then had under con-
sideration an eight-hour law. Later
sympathetic strike was declared by
the federation in Cripple Creek to cut
off the ore supply from the mills. Gov.
ernor Peabody then goes into the his
tory of the Western Federation OF
Miners, which, he declares has been
replete with assaults, dynamite outrag-
es and murder. In affording protec-
ton to those who desired to labor the
governor explains,'"it became necess-
airy in my Judgment to confine certain
men in military guard houses as one
one of the safest and most expeditions
methods of restoring order. 1t was
loudly proclaimed that this was with
out authority Of law. The question
was submitted to the supreme court
and the action of the militia in that
respect fully sustained. 1t is an au-
thorized and necessary power and the
class that should dread its exercise
is not numerous.
THE general policy pursued in
Cripple Creek was followed in other
parts of the state, and particularly
in Telluride, where the eXcesses and
crimes of the federation had been still
more inhuman than any other strike
in the state and the reign of terror
still more complete. Order now pre-
walls there"
Quiet had been restored in Grip
pie Creek and the troops withdrawn
when the dynamite outrage was com
mitted at the Independence depot, !
June 6, followed by the riot at Victor"
The governor places the responsi-
bility for both these occurrences on
the federation. When the excitement
had somewhat subsidized and the coun-
ty was still under quasi-military rule,
the governor continues, 'it was found |
that there were several hundred mem
bers of the Western Federation il
the district who would not work and
had resolved that others should not
use such methods as those in the In
dependence depot, and resolved that
they should be dispersed and l dis
persed them"

WESTERN CANADA
Three Divisions Affording Great Chances for
MISUNDERSTANDING. Wheat Growing
and Mixed Farming.

| the representations of their country
men who preceded them in settle
ment.
Large Quantity of Free Homestead
Lands.
There is yet a large quantity OF
| government land for homesteading in
this country, and as in everything
else, "the early bird catches the
worm" Those who come first are
| first served. When it is preferred to
purchase railway or other company
lands they can be got at from S. per
acre up. This section cannot be
better closed than by showing prac-
tically what is made by wheat grow
ing in this district The average from
the first of operations is twenty BUSH
els per acre. Breaking the prairie, as
first blowing is called, is of course,
an exceptional expenditure, as when 1t
is once done, it is done for all time.
This costs about $3.50 an acre. After
the breaking, blowing and seeding,
harvesting, threshing and marketing
all expenses combined amount to
about 1925 per acre, that is if man
likes everything done it will cost him
1925 per acre. If he does the work
himself he is earning wages while
producing at that figure. Now, as the
average yield is twenty bushels, and
the average price 60 cents-$12 per
acre-the difference between the re-
suit and cost, $675, is the profit OF
grain growing year in and year out
in the great wheat belts of the Cana
dian prairie country. If a man has
a half section of land and puts half
of it, 100 acres, under wheat, which
is a very common occurrence, he
makes $1,OS0 on wheat alone and
should make, if he is a capable farmer
enough, out of other crops, sale of cat
tie, dairy and other products, to keep
himself and family the year round be-
sides.
The Third Division.
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt; between it and what is known
as the forest country. AS wheat grow
ing implies the raising of all cereals
that can proftably be raised in the
country, the remaining branches Of

.69,667 acres produced La ,209 bush
els of barley-24.65 to the acre,
and 32,491 acres produced 292,S53
bushels of fax seed, 9.O3 to the acre.
AS but 1883, 434 acres, or little bet
ter than one per cent of the entire
wheat growing area of the territories
was under crop, little figuring shows
that 13 per cent of the entire country
under wheat will raise the 00,000,000
that Great Britain annually requires
from the outside countries. 1t is a
fairly safe statement to make that in
twelve or fifteen years the Canadian
prairies will be supplying the entire
demands Of the mother country.
Throughout this entire belt there is
an enormous length of railway mile
age. branches are radiating in every
direction from the trunks until they
scarcely leave a grain field more than
six or seven miles from a road, and
they are all required, for in the fall
and early winter the sight of the
trains passing to and from the eleva-
tors at the railway depots makes the
entire country look like one hive OF
industry. In 1880 there were but few
white settlers in the entire country,
outside of those connected with the
Hudson Bay Company's posts, and
scarcely a dollars worth Of anything
outside Of buffalo hides exported till

The old Romans used to say that
Gaul was divided into three parts !;
so is the Canadian North West. Gaups
divisions were political; those OF the
Western Canada prairies are created
by the unerring hand Of nature.
The First Division.
Chiefly because of the elevation OF
the country, the absence OF large
lakes and rivers, and the operations
of the "Chinook" or Pacific ocean
winds, which readily cross the Rocky
mountains in Southern Alberta
through gaps and passes, the south
western portion of the Canadian prov
inces is regarded as somewhat arid,
and less fertile than other portions OF
the country.
Although this has been a prevailing
idea in the past, it has been left for
American settlers, who have invaded
this district within the past two or
three years, to prove that splendid

at this time on account of the devel-
opments in this country's relations
with Turkey. The whole question was
considered by the president and his
cabinet today, in the light OF informa'
ton received by cable from Minis
lister Leischman, at Constantnople.
This government has been pressing
the porte for an answer to our rep
reservations as to the rights of Amer
leans to establish schools and other
educational institutions in the Turkish
empire, and one was promised. Such
rights have been accorded other ma
lions, but have been withheld from
America. After the meeting, Secretary
Hay declined to say, what, II any, de-
cision had been reached.
The situation was regarded as suf'
ficiently grave to warrant some change
in the programme that has been form
ed for the movement of the United
States naval vessels in the Mediter-
ranean. While it was not decided to
stop the home coming of the fleet OF
big battleships, due at Gibraltar in
day or two, the determination was
reached to have Admiral Jewell, COM
handing the European squadron, which
has separated from the battleship
squadron and is now at Vollefranche,
remain in that vicinity until further
orders, or at least not to come furth-
err westward while the negotiations

crops of grain can be grown on the
land.
While there are no large lakes or
rivers in this whole country there are
numerous fast running streams fed
the year round by melting SHOWS in
the mountains, furnishing an abund-
ance of the coolest and purest water,
the best for beast as well as man.
Englishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land in lots
from 1000 to 10000 acres from the
Dominion government. An idea of the
growth of the industry will, however,
be gathered from the fact that in 1899
there were but Al All head of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches.
These figures ran to 55,129 in 1900,
and to 100000 in 1903, averaging $40
per head for the owners. But it takes
a great many ranchers and large
number of cattle to cover an area Of
200,000,000 acres, the area available
for ranching in the Canadian North
west
1t is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the
outset. Many men commenced with
small capital and small herds, and
have worked themselves into large
herds and great wealth. There is still
in the country plenty of room for
those who desire to go and do like
wise.
The Second Part.
The second part of the Canadian
prairies embraces the great wheat
growing belt of the country, which
is easily a half larger than any other
in the world. 1t includes about $780,
100000 acres. AS it is comparatively
free of broken land, large lakes and
rivers, about 125,0000O0 acres of it
can be brought under the plow. Plac-
ing farmer on every half section
1920 acres) it can comfortably locate
J800,00 farmers, or 100000 of an
agricultural community. The terri
atorial governments reports show that
in 1903 there were raised 16,629149
bushels of spring wheat off S37,234
acres, an average of 1886 bushels per
acre; off 440,662 acres of oats there
were grown 14,179,7O5 bushels, an av-
erage of 32.17 bushels per acre;

are out declare their number has not
been depleted by desertions.

mixed farming are dairying and the
raising of farm stock. 1t must moi
be supposed that dividing the prairies
in this way is saying that any one por
ton Of the country possesses better
soil than another, for such is not the
case-all districts are equally fertile.
but the topography and climatic infiu-
ences, etc., differ, as well as the condi-
tons for production. Ranching and
grain growing are carried on quite
successfully in this northern zone;
but it is found more profitable to CON-
bine all the features of the industry.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any country
never reaches the maximum of de-
velopment until the farmers engage at
Least proportionately in dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature of the industry may be prose
cuted.
Dairying.
In the territories creameries and
cheese factories are to a large extent
under government control, and as
such are working well. In Manitoba
they are largely matter of private
enterprise, and from the reports from
that province they must be giving abb
solute satisfaction to the patrons and
promoters. If a settlers farm is not
specially adapted to extensive crop
ping, or if seasons or other conditions
are against the proper development
of large crops, he has always plenty
of pasture and an abundance of native
hay for winter feed. A small sum of
money buys a couple Of COWS, and he
can soon be in possession of a fine
herd of dairy cattle, and the same
may be said of swine and poultry.
Markets.
The mining districts of British
Columbia, which consume an i'm
mense lot of dairy products, are close
at hand, and always afford a good
market for butter, cheese, pork, poul-
tr,- and eggs. When in the future that
