CLIMATE Is IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. II. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident Of Green
Mountain. Iowa, says: The climate
in summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days Of sunshine, no bad
storms. We never need to guard
against cyclones; / never saw better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1906 than
any previous five years in central
Iowa-one of the best districts in the
state" But Mr. Ellwanger was resi-
dent of the town, and it might be more
interesting to read what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds of letters all filled with
words Of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. 1t is as follows:
Paynton, Sask., Canada,
Dec. 10th, 1907.
, To Whom This May Concern:
/ moved to this address February 8,
1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took homestead SO miles north of
Paynton. 1t was cold when moved
here but it did not stay cold long; it
broke up the Sth of February, and was
not so cold after that but the spring
was late on account of the heavy snow
fall, but in spite of the late spring |
saw better grain than / ever saw in
the states, raised this year. l helped
a man finish sowing oats the 4th of
July and they made fair oats. In
good year Ca.s will go 100 bushels to
the acre and wheat 25 to SO; all root
crops do well here. saw turnips weigh
and 8 pounds. l raised potatoes this
year that measured liz inches
one way and 1872 the other in cir
conference. This is fine stock coun-
try; hay in abundance, good water,
plenty of fuel, free and plenty of
building material-the government
gives us timber to saw into lumber
and we can get it sawed for about
$500 per thousand. All small fruit
grows wild here, then there are ducks,
geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose,
elk and fish in abundance. | was over
to Turtle Lake yesterday where there
is lots of fishing being done this win
fish in one pile. l gave 20 cents for
sc pounds of fish. What do you think
of that, Brother Yankee? | think this
is fine place both to make money
and to live. There was an old man up
here visiting his brother-in-law. Now
this man owns land close to Des
Moines, Iowa. and is in good circum-
stances, but he took a homestead and
says he will be contented if he can
only put in the rest of his days in
Canada. He would get up in the morn
and look out of the door and say:
well, who wouldn't live in Canada?"
Now l have been in 10 different states
in the United States, and l never saw
the chance that there is here for
man that has a little muscle and
little brains. Three cheers for Cana
da! (Signed)

ing. The details Of this etiquette are
endless and, to the occidental mind,
bewildering unless one has magma
ton, or at least an esthetic sense TO
which its poetic features can appeal.
In the matter of coloring alone Jap
anose art leads the world; the secret
is their own. Their slides, etc, nota-
bly, those by Kimbei, Japan's greatest
colorist, are unsurpassed by any here
tofore attempted.
Though Japan is the land of beauti-
full bric-a-brac, none is ever DISPLAYED.
The precious vase, rich with gorgeous
lacquer; the picture, beautiful with
poetic symbols; the carving, that has
taken years Of patient cunning to
create, these are never displayed OH
wall or cabinet, but locked away in
safe or storeroom TO be brought out
as a special honor to guest or visitor
whose coming their host wishes to
celebrate with the highest rites Of
eastern hospitality.
If we had our precious treasures
always before our eyes" they say,
they would then become too common,
and we should tire OF them, and that

an after-dnner speech at Spokane,
said: IF you should visit Japanese
house you would be obliged to remove
your shoes at the doorway. Japanese
floors are beautifully kept. / know of
some houses where 80 or 40 servants
have no other duty than the polishing
of the floors"
And Japan is the land of unrealities.
The whole country is a toy shop.
Everything is small. The horses are
all ponies; the chickens bantams; the
dogs small and shy-with apologize
manners-they wouldn't presume to
bark at your heels without first ask
ing permission; the oysters are about
as large as a quarter; clans no larger
than dime; bananas not more than
four or five inches long; and oranges
about the size of lady-apples. Yes,
everything is small l never felt so
much at home in my life.
Japanese art has had many admir-
ers and many detractors. The latter
have likened their china, sprawling
with dragons and alive with grinning
faces, to a fit of the jim-jams; their
sunfiowers to jellyfsh and their chrys
anthemums to cartwheels.
It's admirers claim that all you have
to do is to study up it's symbols, and
then go ahead. But it strikes me that
by the time you've learned the SYM
bols 1t would be time to die For in
stance, when a Japanese artist draws
a picture of an April evening, dys-
peptic moon, a nightingale and a cou-
pie Of plum trees, and asks you it's
meaning, I'll wager that if you stood
first on one foot and then on the other
for two mortal hours you couldn't give
the fellow an answer, It's dollars to
doughnutS you couldn't tell the night
ingale from a tishhaWk, and you
couldn't tell what he was doing on the
plum tree, or on the moon--it don't
matter which-if they gave you the
whole business-the hawk, the plum
tree, the moon and the April evening
to take home to your wife for a
birthday present. For, my dear fell
bowman, that picture means happi-
ness! yes, happiness. And il you can't
see the artists meaning, and-whats
more to the point-get your wife to
see it, you'd better stay right in the
artists studio and
But you won't! You'll rush straight
home with the picture under your arm,
and you'll rush up to your wife and, in
an insane endeavor to eXpatiate on the
complex beauties of the thing, you'll
say:
Look, Maria just see this! A pres
ent for your birthday-didn't forget
you, did l? Here you are-great!
Look at the willowy moon, and the
nightingale sky, and the plum-hawk-"
And then she'll burst into tears, and
cry; Il knew it! knew it! I've seen
it coming! Oh, knew it,"
Know what, for heavens sake?"
That you'd begin to see things!

Japan compels a more rigorous eX-
animation at her various ports of
entry than any other country. China
makes no examination whatever, per.
haps on the principle that 1t is diff,
cult to sweeten bad egg.
All holders of official positions in
Japan are obliged to wear European
dress, and the little Japs who boarded
our steamer looked, in their long,
green coats, deliberately ornamented,
like schoolboys in their fathers
clothes. They are very important little
people, you must know; but one of
these came to grief in manner
speedy as it was unexpected.
Everything is so neat and clean in
Japan, it looks as if somebody had got
up before breakfast to sweep and dust
the whole country. Prince Haseba, in

Missouri Attorney Says State Is Up
Against 1t for specialists" TO
Study Rates.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 17.-C.
I. Mcpherson, assistant general man
ger of the Missouri Pacific road, re
.umed testimony today in the Missouri
ate case hearing. 1t is understood that
,nly three more witnesses will testify.
Until Mr.. Mcpherson took the stand
Ill of the witnesses had testified in the
ase of the st. Louis-San Francisco
Oad but as much of their testimony
VAS of an expert nature it Will not be
necessary to repeat it in the case of the
,ther seventeen roads involved.
MI McPherson's statements were on
he same order as those Of the preceding
vitnesses-that it was impossible for the
ailrOadS to operate under the 2-cent
passenger rate except at a loss, and that
he greater cost of handling state freight
Dver interstate freight mikes the maxi
mum freight rate hardship.
Mr.. Mcpherson was cross-eXamined
oday at length by f. w. Lehman, one
If the attorneys for the state. But few
acts desired by the state were secured,
however, according to the view of San
ord 3. Ladd. another lawyer represent
ng the prosecution, and he was moved
o say:
The state is up against it. We have
10 specialists and even with the freest
access to the railroad records, we can
lot develop evidence to the same extent
Is the railroad specialists
Mr.. Mcpherson had said that the Mis-
souri, Pacific had reduced its working
:orce one-half between November, 1907,
md April, 1908, and that the August
.eport for 1908 had shown that the force
lad increased.
"You had failed in your fat years
hen. to make provision for the lean
7ears?" Nh Lehman asked.
THAT is a feature of the policy you
will have to inquire about of some one
eIse.' replied Mr.. Mcpherson.
