ONE DOLLAR WHEAT.


Western Canada's Wheat Fields Pro-
duce It-Maenifcent Yieds-Free
Grants of Land to Settlers.
The returns Of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement OF
American farmers northward to Can
ada Is each month affecting larger
areas Of the United States. Time was.
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk of it's American contingent. Last
year, however, forty-four states AID
districts we're represented in the Of
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 4,006 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 1887
but with the exception Of Alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
who, in order to secure farms in the
fertile prairie country of Canada, be-
came citizens of and took the oath or
allegiance to, the Dominion. Last
year no less than 11,S41 Americans
entered for homestead lands in Can"
ada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek to
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central Missis-
sippi valley, but the ranchers Of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil OF
Oklahoma, are pouring towards tho
productive vacant lands Of the Cana
dian Northwest. 1t Is no tentative,
half-hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus it has become almost rush
to secure possession of land which it
is feared by those imperfectly &C
Quainted with the vast area Of Can
ada's vacant lands, may all be acquir-
| ed before they arrive. There is no
element of speculation or experiment
in the migration. The settlers have
full information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods, the
| laws, taxation and system of govern
ment of the country to which they
are moving, and they realize that the
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can we'll afford to welcome
cordially every american farmer COM
| ing to the Dominion. There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development of the
prairie portion OF the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thorized Canadian government agent
whose address will be found else
where in this paper.

Dumfounded When Told Of the Losses
Suffered On the Nalu

Dumiounded WF1en old OF the Losses
Suffered on the Yalu.

ing which attended the passage of
the river. AS is well understood here,
General Kuropatkins program did
not contemplate such resistance to
the Japanese advance. 1t is said,
moreover, that Kurooatkin himself
was equally surprised and so cha
grined over the miscarriage of his
plans that he sent his first telegram
to the general staff and not direct
to the emperor. The understanding
here is that General Zassalitch had
specific orders to avoid anything like
a general engagement and it is be-
lieved that the Russian commander
at the front probably was deceived in
his estimate of the strength of Gen
eral Kuroki's artillery, being in entire
ignorance that AZ guns had been
posted and got into a position from
which he had the greatest difficulty in
extrlcating his men. The only conso.
lation for the loss Of the guns is that,
being without their breech locks, they
are of no value to the enemy.

Not David the Psalmist.

David Belasco and Henry de Mile
collaborated once on play in which
they used the line from the Psalm Of
David, Lord how long shall the
wicked, how long shall the wicked
triumph" The actor to whom this
line fell expressed his dissatisfaction
over 1t, and confided his feelings to
De Mile. Are you stuck on it?" the
actor asked him. Yes said De
Mile, 81 must confess l am. You see,

Through Rates to Be No Greater Than
the Sum of the Locals.
CHICAGO-After many futile at.
tempts the western railroads on
Thursday succeeded in completing a
final settlement in the grain rate war
between Missouri river points and
Chicago.
All have agreed to make proportion
al rates from all Missouri river points
and have decided that the through
rates from Nebraska points to Chi
cago shall not be lower than the COM
bined locals excepting from certain
Nebraska points tributary to the
Sioux City gateway, the latter being
a concession to the Chicago & North
western.
The rates on grain from Omaha and
Council Bluffs will be the same as
those from Kansas City. Heretofore
the rates from the former points was
2 cents per 100 pounds higher.

Rheumatism In Utah.

Frisco, Utah, May 2nd.-There is 81
great deal of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring states, and this painful
disease has crippled many a strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently, however, there has been
introduced into Utah remedy for
Rheumatism which bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint.
The name of this new remedy is,
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has al
ready wrought some wonderful cures.
Right here in Frisco there is a case
of Mr.. Grace who had Rheumatism
so bad in his feet that he could hardly
walk. He tried many remedies In
vain, but Dodds Kidney Pills cured
him.
His wife says: I'VE both had Kid
ney Trouble, and my husband had the
Rheumatism so bad that he could
hardly walk. We used Dodd's Kid
ney Pills with much benefit. We have
tried many remedies, but none have
done us SO much good as Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Similar reports come from all over
the state, and it would seem as IL
Rheumatism had at last been con-
Quered.
