WHAT il FORMER OREGOH'
FARMER THINKS OF WEST
ERN CANADA.

Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Ore.
gon, In Sept, 1904, for the great
Canadian prairies, TO quote from his
letter: II was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch Of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
in the very heart Of North America.
The splendid crops Of oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece Of this rich soil, and soon To-
Gated In the Goose Lake country. We
have here great stretch of the rich,
deep clay loan Of the Saskatchewan
soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re-
tention of moisture and production Of
the bright No. / hard wheat, and
great crops of oats, barley, fax and po-
tatoes. ! had 60 bushels Of oats,
weighing AL lb. to the bushel, per
acre. Some Of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already. For homesteads one has
to 60 further west, but the best prai-
rie can be bought here for from $1,000
to $1,000 per acre. The climate Is
dry and healthy. This is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather - frosty
nights, and bright, sunny days-ideal
for threshing and hauling out Of
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou
sands Of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
"The sight Of 1t makes one stop and
wonder what 1t will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes off in March.
It sometimes gets very cold, but the
Saskatchewan farmer does not fear
the cold. Winter is his season of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds a comfortable house for him.
self, and warm stables for his horses.
He need not, like some, be poking
about in the mud all winter attending
a few beasts for livelihood"

Easy.

Once there was an old woman who
lived in shoe. She had so many
children that at first she didn't know
what to do.
A friend of the family who hap
pened to come along just then, how
ever, made the following suggestions:
To put one of them in a factory.
To have couple more operated on
and otherwise fused over by the doc
tors.
To put a couple of them in a coal
mine.
TO send one to a modern public
school.
To bring up another on a pure food
diet.
Which no sooner having been car.
ried into effect than the old woman
settled down to life of ease and lone.

A quaint and amusing party, now
that fancy balls are in order, was a
"Noah's Ark" given in Partisan high
life" several evenings ago by one Of
the leading mondaines. The guests
filed in characters two by two, and as
no indication had been given as to how
the characters were to be carried out
the result was huge success. Some
of the fair ladies tried to make their
impersonations of the animals pretty
and coquettish, the effects being most
attractive, yet immensely funny, while
the men, on the other hand, made their
characters as grotesqGa as possible. AS
the fun waxed warmer and warmer,
the animals" gave vent in speech to
the sounds allotted to them by nature,
and the ballroom rang with the lion s
roar, the barking of dogs, the cooling
of doves and the singing of birds.

A house to cost fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars is, in the opinion of
the governor Of Indiana, good enough
for the chief executive of that state.
He fixed that limit in expressing his
opposition to the proposal to spend a
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
a governors house. No governor on a
salary Of $4,000 could maintain SO ex-
pensive house, and he does not think
the state ought to be asked to maintain
1t. Few Of the states provide house
for their governor in the state capital,
and most of the governors continue
after their election to live in their per-
manent homes, and go to the capital
when business calls them there

Crime and the TeIephone.


From the beginning to the end Of .
transaction in crime the telephone
comes into use serving both sides with
equal fidelity, says writer in Apple
toms. The thief uses 1t to determine
which house he may safely rob. The
man next door sees the burglar, and
calls up the police. The police arrive,
catch the burglar and telephone for the
Black Maria to take him to jail. The
thief telephones lawyer to defend
him. The lawyer telephones for the
bondsman to bail out his client, and
the banker telephones the sheriff that
the bondsman's check Is good. When
the day of trial comes, the clerk of the
court, being kind gentleman, tele-
phones to the burglars lawyer; the
sheriff telephones witnesses to be pres
ent. When the burglar Is convicted
and sentenced the sheriff uses long dis
tance to tell the warden Of the peni-
tentiary when his prisoner will be do
livered. After that the telephone line
is kept hot by influential politicians Pc
titioning the governor for pardon.

Here, girls, listen to what London
Society says of you! "The charm of the
American girl lies in her beauty and
social talents She is an ideal partner
to dance with, to take in to dinner or
to sit out picnic with, and she usu-
ally makes an active and successful
hostess But when her husband dis
covers that she is never happy except
when going to parties, is bored In the
country unless with houseful of
guests, and is always craving to tear
from one fashionable resort to another
mo rest, no peace-it is then that
trouble comes in" Much London Soci-
ETY. knows about it, eh? Granted you
are an ideal dancer, a beauty and
charming dinner companion, did you
ever "sit out picnic?" Picnics are
believed to be obsolete, as far as the
type of girl referred to here Is con-
cerned.

KANSAS SPENDS s7,0OO,OOO
THE 1909 LEGISLATURE MAKES
A RECORD.
This Amount Does Not Include $780,
900 For a Memorial Hall at
Topeka.

Topeka, Kansas. The 1909 session
Of the legislature cost the state Of
Kansas $7,O00,000-or to be exact, ST.
002, 1882, In other words this was
seven million dollar legislature.
This is about 100000 less than appro.
priated by the legislature of 1907.
Not an appropriation bill was killed
or lowered in the senate. The house
was responsible for the death of those
which were defeated. The liberality of
the senate in the seed wheat fund Is
largely responsible for its death. The
senate ways and means committee
recommended a $4,000 appropriation.
The senate raised it to $4,000. The
house thought this amount too large
and killed the bill. The house also
vetoed the 100000 to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis. The other
bills killed were: $4,000 to the hon.
orary educational institution, $1,000
to the stockbreeders and 81 900 to the
pOulIiy dSSUCldJlOH.
This $7,000,0O0 does not include the
100000 in build the memorial hall in
Topeka. AS this money is to come
from the $425,OOO recently appropriat.
ed to the state by the federal govern.
ment and does not have to be raised
by taxation, 1t was not included in this
list. The $4,000 earned from the
penitentiary twine plant which was
appropriated back into the revolving
fund was included among the appro.
priations. This by right should be
deducted from the penitentiary bud.

INSURGENTS WIN IN

LUTELY RULE MEMBERS.
Main Poiht for Which Representative
Murdoch Has Fought So Hard
Was Won.

Washington, March 16.-After one
of the fiercest battles ever fought In
congress the sum total of results last
night was this: The week calendar
day adopted to appease the insurgents
last congress has been greatly
strengthened and is now of use to the
house and will obviate the necessity
of congressman seeing the speaker to
call up bills. To that extent power
was taken away from the speaker.
The full insurgent program was to
take all the speakers power away, and
1t was lost through Clark's inability to
hold the Democrats. The Tammany
Democrats broke away from him. The
insurgents stood like stone wall
throughout and put up the stiffest
fight seen here in years.
Washington, March 16.-After one
of the stormiest sessions in its history
the house of representatives, regard
less Of party alignment, adopted, 211
to 172, a resolution by Mr.. Fitzgerald
(Democrat) of New York, whereby
the rules were amended in several i'm
portant particulars. The resolution
was a substitute for one offered by
Mr.. Clark of Missouri.
Important Changes.
The amendment makes three i'm
portant changes.
First, 1t establishes calendar for
unanimous consents" the effect of
which is to enable member to have
a proposition brought before the
house without having to 60 to the
speaker for recognition.
Second, when consideration of
bill is concluded and the previous
question is ordered, the rules hereto
fore have provided for a motion to
commit with or without instruction.
1t has been the practice to recognize
member of the majority party to
make this motion, and thus prevent
the minority to offer such instructions
as it may desire. The new rule gives
the minority the preference in max.
ing such motion and thus enables
them to get record vote on propoai-
tion which would otherwise be settled
in committee of the whole house.
Third, it protects the calendar Wed
nesday by requiring a ,two-thirds In
stead of majority vote to set it
aside.
Speaker Cannon is inclined to re.
gard the amendment as a slight i'm.
provement on the present rules, in
that instead of throwing the respon-
sibility of recognition on him, it sets
aside certain days for the considera-
tion of measures under unanimous
consent but, he says, under the new
rules members will have to wait for
those days.
Cannon Reelected.
With plenty of votes to spare, 10.
seph G. Cannon of Illinois was re-
elected speaker, receiving 204 votes,
as against 166 for Champ Clark Of Mis-.
souri,, for Cooper of Wisconsin, 2
for Norris of Nebraska, and one each
for Esch Of Wisconsin and W. p.
Hepburn of Iowa, an ex-member. All
the Democrats voted for Clark, so that
the scattering votes represented the
Republican detection from Cannon.

speaker and the fight on the rules
