the tongs holding ice. The boys secured
an arm chair and suspended this in place
of the tongs and began flourishing bus

CHARLES SAVAGE IDENTIFIED
Kansas City Postoffice Robber Traced
by Photo and Description
From Utah.

c. d. Lowe, chief postoffice inspector
for the district OF Utah, yesterday re-
ceived confirmation of the dispatches that
conveyed the intelligence that Charles
Savage. the negro mail pouch robber, had
been arrested at Kansas City. Mr.. Lowe
believes there is no question of the iden-
tity of the suspect.
Mr.. Lowe secured an excellent descrip-
ton and photograph of Savage from
Warden Pratt of the state penitentiary.
and these were of material assistance in
bringing Savage to the lookup.
Savage served three years in the Titan
prison for robbing the postoffice when
il was in the Dooly block Warden Pratt,
tells an amusing story about the negro.
Savage was a negro of extraordinary
cunning and intelligence said Warden
Pratt He was athletic and more clean
cut than most of the race. We had many
evidences of his shrewdness while he was

The art of estimating the amount of
avoirdupois possessed by hundreds of peo-
ple every day is the peculiar profession OF
c. c. Clinton, who is operating a weigh
ing machine at Saltair. In the stockyards
of Omaha, Chicago and South st. Paul
there are high-salaried experts who can
estimate within ten pounds the weight of
a steer Even in Utah there are expert
live stock men who can estimate with
considerable accuracy the weight of an
animal James c. Leary's opinion as TO
the number OF pounds a steer weighs,
dressed or on the hoof is worth some
thing But Mr.. Leary does not pretend
to guess the weight of human or d
steer within three pounds
Mr.. Clinton derives his income from the
accuracy of his estimates Should ma
jority of his guesses prove incorrect the
amount he derives daily from his knowi-
edge of human anatomy and its density
would be appreciably lessened. A folding
steel chair suspended from. a scales and
the knowledge OF the anatomy of the hu-
man frame are the assets of Mr.. Clinton.
He couples these with the curiosity OF his
patrons, their desire to get something for
nothing. and the element of chance.
His scheme is to guess the weight OF
a person and if he comes within three
pounds of the correct weight the weighed
Is to nav him 10 cents for his trouble.
Since he has been at Saitair beach he
has guessed within the limit on eight out
of ten men whom he has weighed and six
out of ten of the women III is more

than men. The truly fat man at Saltair

BRITISH COLUMBIA FARM NEWS

Throughout the eastern and middle
western states there are thousands OF
farmers Offering their lands for sale
preparatory to moving across the line
to the new and fertile lands in the
Dominion of Canada. Government sta
tistics show that the emigration this
year from the states into Canada has
increased by over per cent.
There are various reasons Tor these
removals. Some are going because
they can sell their high priced farms
in the middle west and buy other
tracts of the cheaper lands in the new
country. Others are going because
their families are growing up and they
feel that there will be more opportuni-
ties on the less thickly settled pra1-
ries of the Dakotas.
1t is only natural that the trend OF
emigration from the states should be
across to the ilimitable prairies of
Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Here the fields are ready for the break
ing plows and the soil is remarkably
fertile and immense crops of wheat
and other grains are grown just as
were produced upon the pralrles OF
Illinois, of Iowa and the Dakotas.
Aside from the fact that they are at
tracted by the similarity of these por-
tions of the two countries, there is
another reason why so many emigrate
into this district and that reason is
that it is the only part of Canada
concerning which they have any
knowledge. For instance, happen TO
~, counties
different middle western states which
have probably furnished as large a
proportion of emigrants to Canada as
any part of the country. These peo-
ple knew nothing about any part
Canada except the prairies east OF the
Rockies. When they thought OF Can
ada. they thaught only OF that part
between Winnipeg and the mountains.
They did not know that beyond the
mountains on the Pacific slope lies
one of the richest districts In the DO
minion. rich in agricultural resources,
lumber. minerals; favored with the
mild climate such as is to be found
in only a few localities and a country
whose natural beauties are unsur-
passed.
If they knew about the Fraser River
Valley, in British Columbia, do not
believe that they would want to stop
on the prairies to the east. Here is a
district that is producing enormous
crops of the finest fruit in the world
with grains, and vegetables of a size
and quality that astonish the Visitors
of the east. The climate is never hot,
never cold and there is no danger OF
the work of harvesting being stopped
by billiards., as I know it has been
done on the prairies east of the noun
tains.
There is, moreover, great and
growing market for al that the farm
ers can produce The dairy farmer
will find that his milk and cream and
butter and cheese will readily bring
excellent prices. The poultry farmer
will easily get good prices for his
poultry and eggs and the fruit grower
will have absolutely no trouble in sell
ing his fruits and berries to good ad-
vantage.
If the emigrants from the east and
middle west want homes in country
with electric railroads, telephones and
all the modern improvements and con.
yeniences; if they want farms that Will

it's, they certainly should locate in the
Fraser River Valley, which is in every
respect one of the most highly favored
localities across the line.
