HE LIKES SASKATOON.
W. II Johnston and Family are Satisfied With
Their New Home Out West.

The DEMOCRAT this week reproduces
an interesting interview given the
Phoenix, of Saskatoon by w. 81. Johns
ton, who about three years ago removed
from the Stilwell neighborhood to the
Northwest Territories. What he has to
say of the Saskatoon country fully coin
cides with reports received from other
ex-Cavalier county residents who have
moved out there.
Mr.. w. H. Johnston, of Section 1887
6, is another Canadian who has returned
from North Dakota after years of life in
that country. In an interview with the
Phenix he says: ''Three years ago we
moved up to Saskatoon district from
Langdon, North Dakota. We had with
US the usual settlers outfit necessary for
| the new conditions in the Canadian west,
| besides one thousand dollars for emer-
gencies. At that time l took up home
stead and later bought quarter section
for three dollars and half per acre and
still later another quarter section for tif-
teen dollars per acre, so that now [ have
three quarter sections. What was our
object in coming into Saskatchewan:
Why to get more room for myself and
the boys. They have each half sec,
ton so together we have seven quarter
sections in the family. We are we'll salts

ing into the Saskatoon district seem tc

ATTORNEY SINKLER'S LETTER.
Incident Relating to the HartzeI Murder Trial
Given Resurrection.

The following letter has been hand in
to the DEMOCRAT with request that it
be given space. The matter to which it
refers is entirely foreign to this paper as
we have no personal knowledge as to
what the testimony of Mr.. Marsh or any
other witness may have consisted at the
trial of the Hartzell murder case:
Hon Frank Mercer, Langdon, N D.
Dear Sir:-Your inquiry in regard to
certain testimony adduced at the trial in
the case of the State of North Dakota VS..
Hartzell and Bascom is received In
reply I will state that DR.. Marsh of
Langdon did not make the statement
attributed to him on the witness stand.
He did not in his testimony state that
the character of Hartzell and Bascom
was above that of the average citizen OF
Langdon; nor did he state anything in
substance similar to that, nor did he
make any such statement whatever
in the matter.
Respectfully Yours,
E. r. S1NKLER.

De,truction Of III. Ad,rond.ck Forests.

To rHB EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: few days
ago I journeyed from Montreal TO New York through
Malone. Paul Smiths Saranao and via Utica. and
was surprised to notice what was being done In

the timber In those forests.

ago against this work. but In many places along
the railroad saw large sawmllls In full operation,
saving trees into lumber for market Streams
were nlled with logs. great piles Of lumber were
stacked up In yards and trains Of cars on sidings
were loaded with lumber all ready for transporta.
tion. had never Travelled over this route before.
but my surprise was made acute from the fact
that had been led 70 believe that these forests
were not being devastated in this manner.
The scenery OF the section Is grand. The train
sklrted almost innumerable beautiful lakes and IL
appeared to be the work of ruthless and memorable
hands 70 turn such enchanting scenes Into brush
heaps and stump lots. Tho yards adjacent to tho
mills were In most cases largo and the piles of
lumber stored there demonstrated that vast tracts
OF woodland had been destroyed. l know not
whether these tracts are State lands or private

Jesus Christ. Jesus cast out the money changers

Politics imposes on us our most sacred obligation.

Let the churches take up the crusade against

Let the resting place Of the ark OF the covenant Of

and not In the saloons. Let us turn every church

A Born Orator in Manila.

Secretary TAFT displayed his pro-
found knowledge Of human nature when
he invited the Hon BouRKE COCHRAN to
join the personally conducted party on
its journey to the Philippines. Mr..
TAFT doubly riveted his reputation for
astuteness when he procured an oppor-
tunity for Mr.. COCHRAN to exercise his
eloquence at Manila on the subject Of
our relation to the Nlipinos.
They who understand the Cockranian
psychology know that whatever may
have been the previous utterances of the
facile orator it was impossible for him
under those skies and amid those sur
roundings to speak otherwise than thus
at the Archbishop's banquet night be-
fore last at Manila:
He said that the United States were Coos In =.

pinss.- For the irst time In history q country had
been annexed for Its own benet instead OF for the
benent of the country anne1ing II. Continuing,
he said: We are blazing unparalleled paths and

the most profound confidence In the success Of
American destiny in the Philippines. am OPP
posed 70 annexation. Nevertheless shall ear
nesty study and assist In the unsensh exploitation
and development OF the islands under President
ROOSEVELT and Secretary TAFT"
The magnitude of Secretary TAFT's
achievement may DO measured best by
a comparison OF the foregoing senti-
mepts with the subjoined passage from
the Hon BoURKE CocKRAN's speech at
the anti-inperialist meeting in Boston
on Feb. %, 1900:
"'For myself would rather bs . traitor with
