MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENING GS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed In
Brief.
Interview Capt. Jones.

Capt. Jones, of Gulfport, with his
usual frankness, stated emphatically
that there was not word of truth IN
any Of the reports that he had IN
vested In land and new railroad IN
Louisiana; that he did not own a dol
lars worth Of property in the State
of Louisiana, nor did he contemplate
doing so; that he was in nowise con-
nected with any railroad in the South,
except the Gulf and Ship Island Rail-
road that he was not constructing nor
contemplating the construction OF any
railroad except the extension OF the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad be-
tween Columbia anw Silver Creek, and
the electric railroad along the Missls-
sippi coast. Capt. Jones further stat
ed that he had never been and was not
now connected in any way with any
syndicate which had for its object the
purchase of the pine timber In the
State of Mississippi, but that his ener-

as they had been in the past, toward
assisting in every material way the
owners of the mills along the line OF
his road and other parties who desir-
ed to establish on his road in cutting
the timber from the soil, saving the
same into lumber and shipping it off
to market. Capt. Jones declined TO
express any opinion with reference to
the statements made about other par
ties in connection with the buying OF
timber lands in Mississippi, for the
reason that he knew nothing about it
but stated that he supposed that 1t
was greatly exaggerated and that he
had reason for his supposition in the
unauthorized and unwarranted use of
his name in connection with the same
matter. Capt. Jones further stated
that any assertion that he had pur-
chased or contemplated purchasing the
Liberty White Railroad was without
foundation in fact and existed only
in the vivid imagination Of some IN
dustrious and enterprising news gath
erer. With reference to the statement
that he was a party to any combina-
ton which had for its object the pur-
chasing of the pine timber in the state
of Mississippi so as to be able to con-
troll it against the interest of the peo-
pie of the state, Capt. Jones tersely
remarked that his whole life in Mis-
sissippi was in such utter contradic-
ton to a course of this sort that it
did not need the slightest notice; that
he had devoted his time, energy and
means to the upbuilding of Mississip-
pi since he had come into the state
and that it should continue to be his
aim to do those things which brought
the greatest good to the greatest num-

western Canada. Altho the northern limit
of wheat raising extends, in the valley Of
the Mackenzie river, far UP toward the
Arctic circle. it is necessary to take only
the accessible political subdivisions of
Manitoba. Assiniboia, Alberta and Saskat-
chewan to perceive the enormous posi-
bilities of agricultural development in
western Canada. These districts have a
total land area of 362. 707 square miles.

area Of Ohio.

of Dominion experiment farms, says that

the whole shall be turned to wheat rails
ing. western Canada will ultimately pro-
duce 800, 000, 900 bushels of wheat, which
is somewhat more than the largest wheat
crop yet raised in the United States.
Land men now report the briskest bust
ness they have ever had. One interesting
feature of the land business is that a
large part of the sales is made up OF pur-
chaSes of adjoining lands by farmers who
have recently settled here. Their first
years experience with farming in western
Canada has been so satisfactory that
they are all eager to get as much land as
possible.
Effect on United States.
The advancement of western Canada as
an AGRICULTURAL country is bound to have
a profound effect On the United States.
Already fear Of Canadian competition has
caused the farmers of the northwest to
oppose the demand of the merchants and
manufacturers of that region for reci-
procity with Canada, Planting his wheat
on cheap land. yet land that is much
more productive of wheat than that of the
northwest, the Canadian farmer will be
able to keep or raising wheat at a
profit during the next period of depres-.
sion in the price.
Even now the American farmer is find
ing that his high-priced land can be.
turned to more profitable uses than wheat
raising. Already the Minneapolis millers
are not able to get enough hard spring
wheat, and lave to fall back on Kansas
wheat, and they look Will longing eyes
on the Canadian grain. between which
and them stands a tariff of 25 cents q
bushel.

to say that when the Swedes and Nor

IN America, the most pleasant relations
existed and that equally friendly rela-

separation made necessary in 1870 on

The opinion was expressed that, even
tho the union was severed, there would
be no i'll will between the great body

ton was created today at Sisseton by
the swearing out of a warrant by eX-
Post Trader James Ross of Sisseton
agency for the arrest of Indian Agent
Jackson, on the grounds of insanity.
Ross has had trouble with every agent
at the Sisseton agency and has visited
Washington many times to secure their
removal. When Keller was agent there
was trouble continually. About two
weeks ago Jackson ordered Ross off the
reserve. Ross paid no attention to the
order, but in his absence it is said the
agent removed his effects. This brought
matters to a climax, and Ross action to-
day was the result.
Major Jackson is attending the SOL
diers' reunion at Summit and a deputy
/ sheriff has been sent to serve the war
rant. He has been agent at Sisseton
agency three years and is popular with
the whites and Indians. He is consid-
cred a man of good business ability and
