The Williston Commercial club,
judging from results, sent in the
right kind of a report on the sub
iect of title to coal lands. We are
in receipt Of a letter from Wash

President and that it helped to in
fluence him regarding his order
issued to the Commissioner to
give the benefit of the doubt to
the settler in every case. The
letter was sent in at an early date
and was a protest against the title

letter our Washington delegation
was enabled to do better work on
this important question and by
their combined efforts secured the
order from the President. The

WESTERN CANADA'S SPLENDID
 CROP YIELD FOR 1908.
AMERICANS PROFITED LARGELY AND SEND BACK SATISFAC-
 TORY REPORTS.

The census branch of the Depart. ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, has completed its returns of the show ing of Western Canada's grain yield for 1908, and the reports make very interesting reading In the three prov inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may be known as Central Canada, there was total wheat yield of about 107 ,000, ,000 bushels, worth to the farmer about $S5,000,000; in addition to this the oat, barley and flax crops were worth an- other $35,000,000. Letters have been received from many of the settlers from the United States. From these, that of Rev. Oscar l.. King has been selected He lives in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says will be of interest to those who con- template moving to Central Canada. Every line of the letter is interesting. Those who wish for the particulars as to how to secure homesteads and pre- emptions should write any Canadian Government agent. Mr King says
 MT. NJ. V. MeInnnes, Detroit, Mich igan: l am well satisfied with AL berta. This country offers excellent opportunities for anyone to make good home for himself and family if he is willing to put up with a few hard knocks for the first two or three years. But it is worth a few hard knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich, productive land with no mortgage on it. This province is well fitted for grains, stock raising and dairying We have found the climate generally healthful, more healthful than Mich igan, and although the thermometer sometimes drops to 40 degrees below zero in winter, yet we do not seem to feel that temperature any more than we did or 10 degrees below zero in Michigan. We like the winters.
 The Government takes great inter- est in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in establish ing schools where they are called for The schools, though graded differently than those in the States, are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback
 
 railway facilities, but new roads are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country. If those new settlers who have to go back a considerable distance from existing railroads and towns to find free homesteads will but locate along the line of project ed railroad they will in two or three years be near both town and railroad. When I first came to this country three and half years ago the home stead l took was 75 miles from rail road town; now there is a railroad 25 miles north, another 25 miles south, and third is being built through my neighborhood.

HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA.
Face and Neck Were Raw-Terriplt
 itching, inflammation and Soreness / All Treatments Failed.
cuticura Proved a Great Success

Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so infamed and sore that I had to put a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth a sort of yellow. The ec- zemaitched so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then 1 began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North field, Vt, Dec. 19, 1907"

from Burns, once her ardent admirer; the original copy of Burns song which appeared in the Glasgow Maga- zine in 1793; six wooden ladies from which the poet and his friend John Rankin frequently drank toddy; and a pint measure and half-gill stoup from 'Auld Nance Tannocks Tavern, y one of Burns favorite resorts.
 MT. Wallace was born on a farm ad- joining Lochlea, the Burns family place. Burns crony, John Rankin, be- came intimate in Galston with Hugh Reid, the great uncle of MT Wallace, and in this manner the Burns relics changed ownership, and finally de- scended to MT. Wallace.
 Burns was much attached to Miss Begbie, and some of his passionate addresses to her may be found in the Edinburgh museum. The Bible which he gave her bears many evidences of use.
 The Burns collection which Mr. Wallace owns was shown at the Glas gow Burns exhibition of 1896.

by his application of modern, pallia- tive and surgical methods he has re- duced the suffering from the disease at the settlement to a lower ebb than ever before.
 Dr. Goodhue has done what was never done before at the settlement He has carefully tried all remedial and therapeutic agencies that have come to him with any recommends tion, carefully noting and recording results, and has thereby made sub stantial contributions to medical knowledge.
 As the result of long continued ex- periments and observation he has con- cluded that in eucalyptus has been found a remedy that continues to eff feet marked amelioration in the clini- cal manifestations of leprosy, and while not yet demonstrated as a cure, he believes that if it could be applied ia the incipient stages of leprosy Gin which stage no case of leprosy has ever reached the settlement, so far as known) it would prove cure.
 On another phase of the treatment of the disease Dr. Goodhue's views are thus expressed by himself: "Leprosy is a surgical disease That is to say the various surgical procedures adapt ed to the relief and cure of pathologi- cal lesions constantly and necessarily associated with leprosy are of infinite ly more service to the leper in the ac- tive use of the hands, and especially of the feet, and prolongation of life, than all the therapeutic measures of our present day leprosy therapeusis .

Read This, Ye Brute Husbands!
From the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.

The most extraordinary book of the fall
season is diatribe against marriage by
an English spinster, who attacks the mod
ern matrimonial system on the ground
that it compels women to go into matri-
mony as their only trade. Even when
she attempts any other she Is so oppressed
by men in the matter of small wages or
improper attentions that her state Is even
worse than that of matrimony, which is
held by the critic to be degrading. Not
jeremiah nor Thersites was more apt in
using vitriolic language nor in showering
scathing anathemas upon the heads of
the male members of the human species,
who are held to be worse than the brutes.
We are informed that there is no
such thing as love in the male breast,
save as an insidious use of psychology to
ensnare women. Men buy women in
these days more openly than in the orien-
tai markets Of past ages, and treat their
wives with much more severity. Men
confine women's exertions to motherhood
and making home pleasant for the
males. while the wives sink gradually
into intellectual sloth and die dishonored
and disgraced. And more to the same
purpose. Also it is intimated that the
male opinion is that all women over fifty
ought to be shot.

benefit to labor. They have the right to
interrogate candidates for high Office on
matters in which labor Is interested; and
that they should support their friends and
oppose their enemies is natural.
But as respects their attitude toward
candidates they have more to consider
than hours Of labor. and questions OF In
junction and OF arbitration. important as
those things are. What about the finan-
cial question and the tariff question. both
Of which go to the very root OF labor s
life? Who would suffer more from an
impaired public credit, or demoralized
home market, than the wage-earners?
What would 1t matter about the hours

A candidate for Congress might SUBJ
scribe to all Of labors views about labor
legislation, and pledge his support to
labor's program, and yet In Office, by his
votes and speeches on other more Inn
portant matters, be the foe Of labor If
he were unsound on the money ques-
ton, or an enemy Of protection. he might
by the aid of labor's support do meal
culable HARM not only to labors inter-
ests, but to all interests. For, as a mat
ter of fact, labor's interests are the gen.
eral interests, and the general interests
labor's. Labor refused last year. and
should refuse again, to put all of it's eggs
in one basket.
