Montreal, Nov 15.-Major Allison

eral, who returned to-day from visit
to his home at Fargo, North Dakota.
said in an interview: THE proper
way to describe the manner in which
the people of North Dakota are COM
ing over into Western Canada is to
say they are coming over in droves.
Among the people there did not seem
to be any thought of there being q
boundary lire at all. 1t Is simply a
question:" added the major, "of there
not being any more land in North Da-
kota and the surrounding States, and
the people are flocking to Canada to
get good farms. Naturally the NUM-
Der that will come over will increase
all the time, and may say the people
you are getting are the best people in
the west. They are well supplied with
money and are well acquainted with
the conditions under which they will
have to work" The agents OF the
Government located at different points
in the United States are prepared to
give the fullest information regarding
homestead and other lands.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION.
Present Financial Stringency in Rus
STA as a Result Of the War
with Japan.

Comparatively Few travellers for CON-
mercial purposes are visiting Russia
during the current season, and this is to
be regarded as caused by the present
financial situation.
Word comes from travellers Of expert
ence that credits in general, not only in
Russia proper, but in the south Of Rus
STA, have been very disappointing, and
this in conjunction with the hesitancy
natural to the condition of war and the
uncertainty of the immediate future,
have rendered the sound buyers more
conservative and very careful in increas-
ing their liabilities.
Industrial cities, such as LODI, with its
numerous cotton and wooden mills, are
particularly affected by the present de-
preston. The number of unemployed al
LODI is variously estimated from TO-
600 to $1,000, and several failures among
the smaller manufacturers have been re-
ported.
On the other hand, the larger mills
have been able to continue with q re-
duction of hours from IL to nine, and in
some cases with a five-day week.
Notwithstanding such gloomy condi-
tions. l anticipate that when the pres
ent Russo-Japanese controversy reaches
its conclusion. Russia in general, ami
Russia Poland in particular. will par.
ticipate in a business revival such as has
not existed in number of years. Thi;
prospect should not be lost sight of by
the American manufacturer.

I'm COLLINS was born and bred in
81 the mountains, with no ambition
except nature until Edna Jackson came
there one summer with her father. who
was interested in mines. She was a
lover of nature, too, and Jim naturally
came to be her guide. A little later he
began to buy books to educate himself.
After they left he peeled tanbark for
awhile, and with the money bought a
small piece of ground in the notch be-
tween the two mountains, where rail-
road was proposed to be run.
The next spring the railroad came.
and in the notch a mining town COM

THE SPELLING OF KANSAS.
Historian Hale's Account Of the
Early Habit of Introduce
ing a."

E. A. Kilian, of Alma, Kan. recently
wrote to DR.. Edward Everett Hale, the
eminent minister and historian, who az
the advanced age of 50 is still an active
man, says the Kansas City Journal The
Kansas gentleman wished to know more
about a historical statement made by DR..
Hale. The reply is published in the Alma
Enterprise, and from it we quote as fol-
lows:
"The great American authority about
all these things was Gayarre. 1t was he
whom the state of Louisiana sent TO
Spain and France. had the pleasure
of meeting him in 1876. when he was
well and strong. But / do not know
what became of his collection of papers.
II was he who discovered in Spain the
absolute evidence that our Gen. James
Wilkinson was in the pay of the Span
fish government, from whom he received
| $4,000 year while he was in the service
of the United States. When my mug
wump friends talk to me about the
purity of our early government I am
fond of asking them to beat this trans
action If they can"
The discovery to which Dr. Hale al
ludes proved conclusively that which
had been suspected of Gen. Wilkinson
for several years before he was dismissed
from the American army in 1915. He
was mixed up in conspiracy to form a
southwestern republic under the protec-
ton of Spain and Spain was regularly
paying him pension or a subsidy while
he was holding position of responsible
ity in the United States army. 1t will
be remembered that Aaron Burr declared
that Wilkinson was party to the sue
| cession scheme. but a court-martial tria
held in 1911 did not regard the proof as
conclusive, and Wilkinson was acquitted
only to be dismissed on another charge
four years later.

After this he was frequent visitor.

American Meats in France.

The American packed meats that
some to France have almost made q
revolution in the dietary habits of the
French people. Within the memory OF
many now living the working people
of France could enjoy meat but two or
three times a year. and then only on
some great occasion, such as wedding
OF important anniversary. At present
it may be said that there is hardly man
in the country who cannot now have
a piece Of meat once or twice day.
and this amelioration OF the condition
of the people is very largely due to the
packed, dried and sailed meats from the
United States.
