Likes Alberta.

A.B.Acrea, after spending two weeks
in Alberta, in the Settlers district north
east Of Calgary, returned to Troy Fri
day and will return to Canada about
the first Of December. He likes the
country and has invested in real eatate
in that district. Mr.. Acrea says a
brother-in-law of his has lived at Settler
for the past two years and is very much
in love with his surroundings, a fact
that had much to do with his determi-
nation to take up land in the same
neighborhood. Mr.. Acrea says that ne
saw the threshers at work there and
that the results were good enough for
even Potlatch farmer. From eleven
acres one farmer threshed 1400 BUSH
els Of oats, while yields as high as I30
bushels per acre are not unusal. Mr..
Acrea says he will be located about $50
miles north of the British line. Regard
ing the land laws of the country he in
forms US that youth eighteen years
old may take up land and that where
the father holds real estate the govern
ment will, upon the payment of the
usual filing fees, set aside 100 acres
for a son but II years old, holding i
for the lad until he has reached eigh
teen. Mr.. Acrea says he never saw Sc
many ducks in his life as are to bt
found on the lakes Of the section he
visited. The waters are black will
the fowls and it is no trouble to kill al
one can use. While he was there thu
young ones were almost grown bu
could not yet fly and that by throwing
at them while in the water they woul'
take to the land and hide in the tai
grass. His brother-in-law was out c
ammunition at the time of his visit bu
they had no trouble in getting all tn
young ducks they wanted by going IN
to the grass and killing them with
club.

What Is Land WORTH

The question is often asked: What
is land in the Potlatch really worth as
an investment? How much can a
man pay tor this land2 The News
nrefers to let the reader answer his own
question, contenting ourselves with
giving bit OF practical experience by
a local farmer. N. G. Terrence, a we'll
known young man of this section, this
wear cut on his fathers farm north OF
Troy an average of one and three
fourths tons of timothy hay per acre
from a seventeen acre tract Of land
that until recently was covered with
brush. The hay crop this year will
net Mr.. Terrence $40 per acre.
Allowing 8 per cent as a fair interest
on the investment the Terrence land
now in timothy is worth the magnificent
sum Of 5000 per acre. At least the
hay crop this year is paying eight pei
cent on a valuation of 5000 per acre,
This was the fourth crop on the land
which was cleared up at cost OF about
500 per acre. The trouble is the
people have not yet learned to realize
the true value of Latah county pine
land nor have they commenced tt
reach the point where the best results
are being realized.

F0URlNSANE PRISONERS
Epidemic of Insanity Appears to Have
Broken Out.

Cyrus Haygood, the negro yesterday
convicted of insanity because of his
murderous attacks on last Thursday
night on Mr.. and Mrs. z. Z. CoOns
and D. L. Brewer, will probably have
to be sent back to the state asylum of
Georgia, or the last place where he
was a legal resident.
He has only been in Kansas a little
over week. The board Of control at
the state house was given all the pa
pers and information in the case, and
will formally decide tomorrow as to
the disposition of the negro
Fred Knapp, secretary of the board,
who has the matter directly in charge,
said today: 1--WE have not seen the
papers in the case yet, but will have
them by this evening. I understand
that Haygood is not a resident of this
state. Statute 4003, revised, 1901,
states that an insane patient caught IN
a state where he is not a legal resident
should be returned to the state where
he last maintained a legal residence.
Our asylums are crowded now, and if
Haygood Is not eligible I suppose he
will be sent to the place where he
rightfullv beIon IS. With our hospitals
fun we should not deprive places to
Kansas patients, applications for which
are coming in right along 1 cannot
say, however, until we have thoroughly
investigated the matter. just what will
be done"
Sheriff Lucas thinks that Haygood
will have to be returned to Georgia,
where he lived for a long time. If
not there" said the sheriff today,
then he must go to South Carolina,
where he was born. Haygood lived
about a year on the Pacific coast at
different places. for a short time IN

out of them, for irrIgaung in the
most primitive way. Dirty pools Of
water in the low places, and out of
these coolies drawing water by hand

weeds along the highway would be so
precious that the natives would cut
them and use them for some purpose.
