These cut-over regions in their
wild state look like the land of desc
lation. No person used to the black
soil of the lands further south will be
favorably impressed with them. But
their productiveness has been proved.
That can no longer be questioned.
They are in state which has a popu-
lation Of 100000. They have
enough growing timber for fuel and
shelter. They are watered with lakes
and clear streams. They are near
railroads and villages and within the
reach of established markets.
They are especially adopted to
dairying and creameries are now in
operation, while Minnesota butter
hasa worldwide fame that gives it
the largest price.
They assure the farmer these re-
quisites to profitable agriculture and
contentment- productive soil, pure
water, abundant fuel, good markets,
established schools, nearness to vii
lagos, social advantages for them
selves and families, and finally an
abundant rainfall and a season long
enough to make matured crop an
annual certainty.
The man who expatriates himself
to settle on the bleak prairies of
Western Canada, where in thou
sand miles there is a less population
than in this state, with no consider
able cites, in the constant danger of
drought and killing frosts, without
fuel or natural water supply, travels
to reach actual desolation a thou
sand miles beyond what in decade
will be one of the richest farm sec
tions of the best state in the Union,
with all the advantages that nature
has denied to the Canadian North
west"

quality, his berries are unexcelled
by any anywhere. In the lot he
brought to the city yesterday there
were eighteen berries that tipped
the scales at half pound. They
were large and" plump and solid
throughout.
Mr.. Larson has marketed over
sixty quarts and expects to gather
at least 800 quarts of the berries

COWBOY KICKED TO DEATH
By AN OUTLAW HORSE
One of the Best Riders in Wyoming
"a, Meets Death While Riding the
Range Alone.

Shosboni, Wyo.-Arthur Watson, a
cowboy employed by the Quien Sabe
ranch, has been found dead near the
head of Antelope creek, a few miles
north Of Birdseye mining camp. When
found his saddle was lying close by
him and the cinches were still fas-
tened. How the horse ever succeed
ed in getting free from the saddle
without breaking or unfastening the
cinches is mystery.
Watson was one of the best riders
in the county and the people of the
ranch suspected nothing wrong, even
though the horse was known to be an
outlaw, supposing that Watson was
spending the night at neiglboring
ranch. The body was found quite by
accident by Jess Yates, neighbOr
ing ranchman, as he was riding after
his cattle.
No injuries were apparent, but IL
was supposed that Watson met his
death by being kicked by the horse
after being thrown to the ground.

PROTEST OF JAPs.
Threaten That We May Lose Their
Trade Unless They Are Better
Treated.

Tokio.-At joint meeting of five
chambers of Commerce here on Sat
urday, it was resolved to address the
principal chambers of commerce in
America regarding the recent trou-
bles in San Francisco. A vital por-
ton of the address is as follows:
ut is to be extremely regretted
that such unfortunate incidents
should be allowed to occur so fire.
quenty, as it is feared that, unless
they are speedily stopped, the i'll.
feeling which our countrymen are
now constrained to harbor the people
of single section in America may
eventually have an unhappy. effect
upon the development of the CONNER.
cial relations between the two ma
tions, for while the United States is
a good customer for our natural
products, Japan is also increasing
her demand for American goods and
promises to become one of the most
important markets for your ever-ex-
panding and prosperous industries.
Should the progress of trade and
commerce between the two nations
become INSTRUCTED as the result OF
the unwarrantable action of small
section of your population, the loss
sustained by the two countries would
be incalculable."

BALANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
Uncle Sans Receipts and Expendi
lures Indicate Profitable Business.

Washington.-S far as working
purposes are concerned the fiscal
years business of the government
closed on June 20 with surplus of
substantially $S7,0O0,000, one of the
largest net balances ever shown. In
the fiscal year 1902 there was a sur
plus of $91 ,2S7,275, but that was the
largest since 1890.
The figures show that in the year
lust closed the income from various
sources of revenue was 1865, 3O6.134
and expenditures $57S,376,70 as COM
pared with receipts of 1894, 454,12l
for the last fiscal year, and expendi-
lures of $3.50, 784,79, the surplus in
that year being $25,669,S22.
There has been tremendous in
crease in receipts in the year just
closing, while the expenditures have
been only $10,000,000 in excess OF last
year. The largest increase in receipts
has been from customs, although in
ternal revenue has shown big gain.
The receipts this fiscal year in Gus
toms were $333, 230,126 and in inter-
nal revenue $27O,3O9,3SS.
The receipts last year held the rec
ord up to that time, and this years
income from that source is about
$33, 100000 in excess of last year.

Haywood to Shoulder Blame.
Friedman said that one Pinkerton
operative became chairman of the
union strike relief committee at
Globeville and as such had charge
of all funds and food disbursed there
by the local union and general fed
Grafton. Friedman said that under
instructions from his superiors at the
Pinkerton agency this man first tried
to beggar the federation by the lavish
expenditure in behalf of the strikers,
and, failing in this, he cut the relief
down to the lowest point of stingi-
ness in the hope that the members of
the union might censure Mr.. Hay
wood The examination did not show
whether Friedman entered the en-
