FORTY YEARS AGO.

Forty Years Ago.

Little Dix and Med.c1ne Bot
tie, the two Sioux chiefs who
are to be hanged at Fort Smell
ling next Wednesday, were
convicted through the testi-
mony of Indian witnesses. 1t
was proved that Medicine Bot
tile and another Indian killed
Philander Prescott, the white
man who had charge of their
farms on the reservation. A
third Indian cut off his head,
threw it into the air and shot a
bullet into it as it fell. It was
also shown that he had killed
six men, women and children
on their way to New Ulm.
Little Six, on the first day of
the outbreak; informed one of
the witnesses that he had
killed seven women and chill
dren. A squaw testified that
on the third day Little Six
came to Little Crows house
and told the chief in her pres

Grow wanted him to do, and
had killed thirteen women and
children. 1t was also proven
that he shot and killed a man
just as he stepped out of his
house on the opposite side of

that when the women and

STAFF Correspondence to The Press.
WINNIPEG. Manitoba, July 10
The largest dealer in land in the
world is doubtless Fred Il. Griffin. in
charge of the land department of
the Canadian Pacific railroad. The
company now has 100000 acres
of fiat rich wheat land which he is
engaged in putting on the market.
And his most thriving trade is with
people of the United States.
These Canadians are very frank in
declaring their purpose to annex the
United States--or at least to annex
as many as possible of its individual
citizens. Mr.. Griffin declares that
one good wide-awake farmer from
the States is, for immediate results,
worth four or five of the settlers who
come from Europe.
"The American knows what he
comes here for" said Mr. Griffin.
HE probably has raised wheat in
Minnesota, or Iowa or Indiana. and
he understands the business of farm
ing on a large scale. He will get
his gang pillow and turn up anywhere
from 500 to 1000 acres, and in the
first year he will probably pay for
his land and machinery. | heard of
a case yesterday of man from
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-07-10

Iowa who put about 26O acres under
cultivation, took 6000 bushels of
wheat from 1t, and not only paid
for his land and machinery, but had
$4,000 left. Now the immigrant from
the old world would never think of
doing that He is used to doing
things in a smaller way. and it takes
him two or three years to see how
the thing is done"
The 100000 acres of land which
the Canadian Pacific road is now re-
failing to settlers is what remains of
a grant of 25.000.000 acres of land
given to the road by the Canadian
government nearly 20 years ago.
And now these lands have sud-
denly acquired value. \ short time
ago a private land company bought
from the railroad an even 100000
acres. and in less than a year had
disposed of the whole lot to people of
the United States. and incidentally
had cleaned up cool million in
profit. But the railroad people do not
mind that, What they want is set
tiers along the lines of their road.
Canada's Inducements.
The reason for the sudden move
ment toward the Canadian north
west is thus stated by Mr.. Griffin:
