WEST ERN CANAD AS RE.
SOURCES.
Farming Very Successful.

BY Western or Northwest Canada is
usually meant the great agricultural
country west of Ontario, and north of
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana
Part of it is agricultural prairie, treeless
in places, park like in others, part is
genuine plains, well adapted to cattle
ranches; part requires irrigation for
successful tillage, most of it does not.
The political divisions of this region are
the Province of Manitoba and the terri
torial district of Assiniboia, Saskat-
chewan;- Alberta and Athabask. At
present, however, the latter is too re-
mote for immediate practical purposes.
The general character of the soil of
Western Canada Is a rich. black, clay
loan with clay subsoil. Such soil is
particularly rich in food for the wheat
plant. The subsoil is clay, which re-
tains the winter frost until it is thawed
out by the warm rays Of the sun and
drawn upward to stimulate the growth
of the young wheat, so that even in dry
seasons wheat is good crop. The clay
soil also retains the heat of the sun later
in the summer, and assists in the early
ripening of the grain. 1t is claimed that
cultivation has the effect Of increasing
the temperature of the soil several de-
grees, as we'll as the air above it.
Western Canada climate is good-cold
in winter; hot in summer, but with cool
nights. Violent storms of any kind are
rare The rainfall is not heavy. 1t
varies with places, but averages about
II inches. 1t fails usually at the time
the growing crops need it.
The department of the interior, Of
tawa, Canada, has agents established at
different points throughout the United
States who will be pleased to forward an
Atlas of Western Canada. and give such
other information as to railway rate,
ETC., as may be required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number Of testi-
moniais given by farmers. The follow
ing is an extract made from letter from
a farmer near Moose Jaw:
AT the present time own sixteen
hundred acres of land. fifty horses, and
a large pasture fenced containing a
thousand acres. These horses run out
all winter and come in in the spring

ly expended will make a competence

Budapest March 10.-To the sur
prise of the house, a member of the
Kossuth party, Herr Holman Thaly,
at the opening of the session, urgently
appealed to the obstructionists not to
further oppose the recruiting bill. which
has been the object of fierce opposition
for many months. Enthusiastic cheer

were SO overjoyed at the termination of
the long drawn feud that they wept.
The president of the house was SO over

the sitting. On its resumption Herr

use of the Hungarian tongue in the

been compelled by failing strength to

The premier then asked the house to

rAFrs VIEWS ON CANAL ZONE
All Powers Of Sovereignty Under
American Control.

american Oontroi.
washington. March 10.-Secretary
Taft was before the senate canal COM
nlittee yesterday and gave his views on
the proposition for a code of laws gov
e-ning the canal zone.
Mr.. Taft expressed the opinion that
by the treaty all powers Of sovereignty
over the canal zone had passed to the
United States. altho actual sovereignty
in express terms had not been surren-
dered. The control and protection of
the people of the zone devolved on the
United States. The government of the
United States had the right to enter
into possession of the strip and had
absolute jurisdiction there. Some leg
islation would be necessary, as to the
establishing Of courts for example, but
he thought it was best to trust the
commission as far as possible.
Speaking of the placing OF the canal
commission under the jurisdiction of
the war department. the secretary said
the anti-imperialists would raise the
cry that 1t was an evidence Of military
sdespotism.

Morgan, "who will not be disturbed by

that sthe commission should be under

RULES OF THE CHURCH
Assistant Historian of the Mormon
Church Testifies Before the Senate
Committee at Washington Today.

Washington. March 10.-Arldrew Jen-
sen, assistant historian of the Mormon
church, today in the Smoot case gave
IAN elaborate explanation of the machin-
cry of the church. Jensen said aside
from Salt Lake, Weaver ard Summit
counties, Mormons were in majority in
all counties of Utah. In regard to pun
ishments for breaking the rules OF the
church, Jensen said any member, the
president not excepted, is amend dable to
the bishop of his ward and that other
officials do not interfere lie said he
had never known of prosecution OF a
polygamtst who continued to cohabit
with the plural wives he married prior
to the manifesto of 1900. II the Nor
mons should turn informers against a
polygamist under such condi tons, such
informers would be odious in the sight
of most members of the church.

VIII Settle Labor Disputes.

Chicago, March 10.-Rev. Charles
Stelzie who conducted meetings m
Des Moines last winter, has come 70
Chicago with an idea that he can avert
much of the violence and hatred OF
labor troubles by bringing the church
and labor unions into closer relation
ship Rev. Mr.. Stelzie is member Of
the machinists' union and as soon rs
he arrived he called upon the officers
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
and advocated the plan of bringing
about a meeting Of delegates between
the labor unions and the churches. He
will visit the ministerial associations
and advocate the plan. So far the
labor unions do not display much
interest in the plan, and it is not known
what attitude the ministers will take
although it is thought they would be
glad to cooperate with Stelzle.
