Historic Incident Participated In by
American Warship.

Of the old sloop of war st. Mary's,
now to be consigned in her sixty-fifth
year to the tender mercies of the auc-
ton, it is written that she bore no
conspicuous part in war in all her long
service. This may be true, but the
st. Mary's was once associated with
an event which is worthy of commem-
Grafton. Under the command of the
late Capt. Colvocoresses she was the
means, 40 or more years ago, of post
poning the bombardment of Valparaiso
by the Spanish fleet. She was
anchored before the city, and the
Spanish admiral limited that she was
in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocor-
esses remarked that he was perfectly
satisfied with his berth, and that while
the st. Mary's carried but % guns,
she represented navy that had 1900
guns at sea. Valparaiso was event
ually bombarded, but not while Capt.
Colvocoresses was present. The Pc
culiar name Of the ship commemo-
rates an early colonial capital Of
Maryland. 1t was given in the same
spirit of historical association as was
illustrated by the jamestown and
the Plymouth, her sister ships.

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think of Western Canada.

A party Of editors from a number of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
of miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development OF
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as if
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
1t is revelation, a record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable
The Hutchinson Leader character
ICES Western Canada as ''a great coun-
try undeveloped. The summer out.
ing" it says, twas an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket of the world It
was delightful outing through
great country of wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
Government has revised it's land regu-
lations and it is now possible to Sc
cure 160 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields of thirty BUSH
els of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 BUSH
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.

| A TURKEYLESS
THANKSGIVING
The Story of the Three Birds That Were Three
Times Won and Lost.
W. IHEN the railroad builders air The prize turkey sho

air. The prize turkey shoot came off
early in the morning at Redfield, as ad-
vertised, but an unforeseen contingency
resulted. A marksman of truly dia-
bolical skill developed in resident of
two weeks standing, and all three
turkeys fell before his trusty rifle. The
fowls had been set up at $50 yards and
with only their heads exposed to the
destructive bullets. All participants
at half dollar for each shot had dis
played remarkable accuracy of aim,
but the winner had distanced his COM
petitors, and captured the shooting
match. The apprehension evolved
among the witnesses of this remark
able accident soon ripened into rebel
lious determination. What was to be
done with disloyal citizen who calm
ly announced that the turkeys would
be served up at a private banquet at
the Hotel Dodge, to be enjoyed by him
self and two especial friends? He said
he thought a bird apiece was about
their normal capacity, and as three
fowls certainly could not furnish
meal for rs, and somebody must go
without turkey, it would be more sat

fellows get enough for once. At the
end of a short but explosive debate

spiscssISto in issS

Since 1865 the general material de
velopment of the country has been
such as to transcend all ordinary hui.
man understanding
Vast new mining fields have been
opened, whole areas of coal deposits,
many of them entirely unsupported,
have been found and developed since
1865. The enormously valuable depos.
its of copper in Montana have all been
discovered and developed since 1865.
Michigan's, though known before then.
have also been mainly developed in
side of 40 years. So have the great
iron deposits of Michigan, the zinc
deposits of Missouri and countless beds
of mineral wealth of all sorts in the
south and in the almost boundless
trans-Mississippi regions.
Secretary Seward knew that there
was almost fabulous treasure under
the surface of what was called Rus,
sian America when he bought it from
the cars government, but the gold
and silver and other mineral wealth
of Alaska has practically all been
ten years. In 40 years the addition
from mineral sources alone to the
wealth Of the country has amounted
to billions on the back of billions.
Petroleum was discovered before
1865, and the development of territory
which yielded it was begun 40 years
ago, but by far the greater part of that
development has been accomplished
since then.
Along with all these things the
area of cultivated land has been in
creased so that the wheat and corn
and cotton and other crops of the pres
ent are enormously vaster than they
were in 1865. Manufactures of all
sorts have increased enormously also,
the total for 1866 being worth rather
more than two billions of dollars; this
year the total value of our manufac-
lures will not be far from fifteen bill
lions Of dollars, roughly estimating the
figures from the census of 1900.
Stimulated by the extension and de-
velopment of the railroads, and in
turn stimulating their development init
mately interlocked and interdependent
with the growth of mining, agriculture
and manufacturing, there has been an
unbelievable growth of cities and
towns.
And, as Uncle Sam, after a right
good dinner of turkey and pumpkin
pie and other standard Yankee viands,
contemplates the tremendous advance
his settlements have made he may
also dwell in thought upon the fact
that the total of the country's popula-
ton has grown from about 33,500,000
in 1865, to more than 80,0O0,000 in
1908.
Now these material good things are
all well worth being grateful for; no
other people on the green earth have
so many reasons of the sort for thank
fulness as the Americans.

Fish Chased Ashore by Whales.

A serious menace to health is
threatened at Nahant by the large
quantity of fish which have been
thrown up on the beaches and rocks
following, it is believed, the appear
ance of porpoises and large fish, sup
posed to be whales.
Although the fishermen gather them
as fast as the tide recedes, many are
overlooked. 1t is the opinion of the
natives that the fish, which include
mackerel, hake, pollock and herring,
all small in size, have been forced
ashore by the larger fish, which have
invaded the waters recently Boston
