FRUIT SUFFERS SEVERELY
Crops Prospects Damaged by Killing
Frosts in Central and
Southern States.

Chicago, April 18.-Reports from the
south and central states show that kill
ing frosts prevailed Sunday night as far
south as Kentucky, Tennessee, Mary
land and Georgia, and it is feared that
the fruit crop in those states has been
ruined. Frost was reported in northern
Florida, fact unprecedented in the an
nails of that state.
Throughout the fruit belt of Michigan
and Illinois there was heavy frost, and
in some localities the cherry and plum
trees were stripped of blossoms. Con-
siderable damage was also reported
from Ohio. Wind accompanied by Sc
we're cold stripped many trees in In
diana. as indicated by reports received
at the Purdue experiment station. The
loss to fruit growers in that state alone
is estimated at 100000. The loss in ap-
pies is also heavy. 1t is said another
frost like that Of Sunday night would
practically ruin the entire fruit crop.
The fruit in South Carolina and West
Virginia is thought to be entirely
ruined

CAN'T LIMIT WORKING DAY
Supreme Court Says Man May Labor
More Than 60 Hours Week
If He Chooses.

Washington, April ia state law
limiting the number of hours in day
and a week that laboring man may
work interferes with the free exercise
of the right of contract between indi-
viduals and therefore is in violation of
the United States constitution. So de-
cided the supreme court Monday when
it held that the New York state law
making ten hours days work and 60
hours a weeks work in bakeries in
that state is unconstitutional. The de-
cision is declared by Justice Harlan to
be one of the most important rendered
by the United States supreme court in
a hundred years. The immediate re-
suit may be strike of $4,000 union
bakers throughout the United States,
If the employers Of New York refuse
the demands for a ten hour day on
May l. The supreme court was far
from being unanimous in Tie opinion.
Justices Harlan and Holmes both read
dissenting opinions, and Justice White
and Day concurred in Justice Harlan's
view.

London, April 20.-A dispatch to a

cate that the Russian squadron proposes

Admiral Rojestvensky meanwhile send

April IL for the purpose of coaling and
revictualing, preparatory to sailing
north.
Toxic, April 20.-The news that Ro-
jestvensky has mace naval base of
Kamranh harbor and has no intention
of sailing before May has created q
profound sensation here, as it is re-
garded as plain notice that France has
come to the aid of Russia. That France
would give covert aid was expected after
the Madagascar incident, but open vio-
lation of neutrality was not anticipated.
Officials refuse to state what action will
be taken, but communications are al
ready passing between Toxic and Lon
don, and England will doubtless be
called on to fulfill her part of the con-
tractual alliance unless France takes
the back track and sumlnarily orders
Rojestvenslly to leave Kamranh harbor.

my WlFE'sPEoPLE COMING
1--WE Have Had Splendid Winter
in Western Canada.

Canada's thrush this year Is wonder
fully great and considerably ahead Of
any previous year. 1t is always inter-
esting to those who contemplate moving
toread expressions Of opinion from those
living In the country. It therefore our
pleasure to reproduce the following
written to an Agent of the Government
and forwarded to the immigration
Branch of the Department of the In
terror at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask, Can, Feb. 1. 1905.
Dear Sir: take pleasure in dropping
you a few lines to let you know how We
are getting along up here and how We
like the place. We have been here close
ON to q year now and think the place is
fine. We have been out every day this
winter working in the bush getting out
logs for buildings, ETC., getting rails for
fencing. We have not suffered with the
cold as much as we did in Chicago. My
little boys are out every day with their
sleighs having good time. The low
est the temperature has been this win
ter is "a below and it is very still, no
wind.
We had a splendid summer. We put
up about so tons of hay and will have
about 80 tons to sell; hay brings $500
per ton now and will be higher in the
spring. We have 20 acres broke and
ready for crop. We worked on the Can.
Nor. Ry. for awhile this summer and
am just miles from the r. r. and
townsite. The steel is all laid to within
miles of the River and We often see
the train bringing supplies for the
Bridge.
My wife's people are coming up about
May. wish you would write them and
II there should be anyone coming to
Prince Albert that could do with q half
q car let them know. The homesteads
are all taken up within IL miles of us.
/ often think II this land were only In
the States what Alrush there would be:
It is the richest land and the most pro-
ductive ever saw, and the climate is
o. X.
know that people back there that I
write to do not believe me when I write
them what splendid winter We are
having, they think we are all frozen up.
We have only about inches Of snow,
and there are cattle on the range that
have not been rounded up this winter.
Day after day the Their. raises up to
so and GO, and I don't believe we have
had day this winter that it has stayed
at zero. My wife says that We used to
think that zero was cold in Chicago. But
we don't mind 1t one bit. Christmas
night we went out and drove miles
with our 8 little boys, 1t was 20 below
and there was not a whimper from any
one of them. I'd hate to do it in old
Chicago.
Well, guess will close and you can
tell anyone in the U. s. that they can
not do better than come to the Prince
Albert District. I remain,
Yours truly,
