Americans Would Help Russia.

WASHINGTON-The Russian en-
bassy is being flooded with offers Of
assistance from Americans in various
walks Of life. Letters from twelve
physicians arrived on Wednesday.
The Russian ambassador has been
obliged to abandon his original inten-
ton to answer each of these offers
with a personal letter, but a cor
dial letter OF thanks is sent by the
embassy to each writer. The offers
are declined, as Russia does not
stand in need of medical OR military
aid.

NOT CHARGEABLE TO WOMEN.
Shafroth Says Influence of Woman
Suffrage is Good.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Congress
man john l.. Shafroth of Colorado,
who resigned his seat IA of cleo
ton frauds in Denver. denies that
these frauds were committed mainly
by women. In an interview Friday
Mr.. Shafroth said:
"Of the persons implicated, very
few were women; not more than one
in ten at the outside. Frauds were
committed in the lowest parts of Den
yer, where not many women live. The
incident was not characteristic of the
women voting in Colorado and it was
preposterOuS to make it an argument
against female suffrage. Everybody
knows there are bad women as well
as bad men, but what would any good
man think if it were proposed to take
his vote away from his because some
bad men had cheated at an election?
In Colorado the women vote as GEN.
orally as the men, and fraud is more
rare among them. AS a rule. their
election methods are honorable and
the influence of woman suffrage on
the state has been distinctly for the
good"

IN A PRAIRIE LAND.
Editorial Correspondence.1
Moose Jaw, ASsinibola

loose Jaw, ASSlnlDOla
Farmers Review,
Chicago, July %, 1903.
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon TO hori-
zon as yet unmarried by the hand OF
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there is
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine river, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for somo
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape Of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from it's eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage,
brush appears at some points. but

is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpOse-either for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is a town of over 1000
inhabitants, and one Of the most i'm
portant places in A~ssiniboia, being the
center of a very good farming Coun-
try INT a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranchipg 90 hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in h town.
In riding yer the p~rairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer Of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which it was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
of the large crop and high price for
wheat last year.'-Henry F. ThurstOn.

ALExIEFF NOT LOSING FAVOR
Sending CT Commander for Army Was
at His Suggestion.

I III oCSSSSIiOI.
PARASITIC Echo de Paris st.
Petersburg correspondent says with
regard to rumors in circulation that
the appointment of General Kuropat-
kin to the command Of the Russian
army in Manchuria meant that Vice
roy Aleyieff was losing favor, and that
the truth is as follows: When the wal
broke out the ear asked Viceroy
AleXieff whether he deemed it neces-
sary 10 send a general to command
the troops and if so. whom he pre-
feTTed. The yiceroy replied that he
considered it necessary to have a chief
commander of the land troops but
that he had no preference as to who
should be selected. The czar there
upon asked him whether General XII
ropatkin would be agreeable, and the
admiral replied: Absolutely, but l
beg your majesty to discharge me
from ell responsibility for the land
operations, leaving these to General
KurOpatkin.'
Viceroy AleXieff retains the viceroy-
ship, but General Kuropatkin is en-
plOyed to communicate directly with
the car.
