WHAT A 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: Il 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 l beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for
piece of this rich soil, and l 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 or
the bright No. hard wheat, and
great crops of oats, barley, flax and po-
tatoes. 1 had go 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 we'll here, and 1 could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already. For homesteads one has
to go further west, but the best prai-
RE 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 it makes one stop and
wonder what it 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
few beasts for a livelihood"

for his hat. But 1t defeats all my
cherished hopes. l had planned a
house, in which | fondly imagined we

Constitutional Convention.

The house has passed three and kill
ed four of the constitutional amend
ment resolutions. The first one pass
ed was for submitting to the vote of
the people proposition to call con-
stitutional convention to revise the
state constitution. The resolution was
amende so that the question of appor-
tionment of the state into legislative
and senatorial districts cannot be
touched by the convention. The rep
resentation is to remain the same,
1875 representatives and senators,
based on population and a reappor-
tionment every five years. The res
olution also excluded any tinkering
with the bill of rights, the prohibitory
amendments and the homestead and
taxation provisions.
The resolution providing for the in
itiative and referendum was also pass
ed, as was one to increase the pay
of members of the legislature to five
hundred dollars a session. The SEN
ate has already adopted the legisla-
tive compensation resolution.
Among the resolutions killed was
one which would permit the state to
levy a tax for good roads work, one
providing for state officers serving one
four-year term, one permitting The
classification of property for taxation
purposes, and one requiring that per-
son must be fully naturalized before
he could vote in Kansas.

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 a couple more operated on
and otherwise fused over by the doc
tors.
To put a couple of them in coal
mine.
To send one to a modern public
school.
To bring up another on pure food
diet
Which no sooner having been car.
ried into effect than the old woman
settled down to a life of ease and lone
someness.-New York Herald.

cUTIcURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
Could Not Wear Shoes Because
OF Bad Scaling and Itching.

II have been successfully cured Of
dry eczema. 1 was inspecting the re-
moval of noxious weeds from the edge
of a river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night
cleansed my limbs but felt prickly
sensation. paid no attention to it
for two years but l noticed scum
on my legs like fish scales. 1 did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and l could not wear
shoes. had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. l got a cake of
the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. In less than ten days /
could put on my boots and in less than
three weeks was free from the con-
founded itching. Capt. George P. Bliss,

ATRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO.
Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewis Single Binder Cigar
Factory,

What is probably the biggest lot OF
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is Sc
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis Single Binder Cigars will appre-
ciate this tobacco.

The conferees on the bill to in
crease the pay of F. d. Coburn have
reached an agreement and the salary
of the secretary of agriculture was
raised to $4,000 year.
The house passed the senate bill
raising it to $4,000 a year after the
senate had passed for $4,000 a year,
but the house tackled on amendments
which raised the pay of every assist
ant state officer. The senate refused
to stand for this, after two conference
committees had worked on it, 1t was
agreed to let the others receive their
present salary and raise Coburn's to
$4,000 year.

Both Houses Get Special Message.

Governor Stubs sent special mes
sage to both branches of the legislature
in which he recommended that the
present board of railroad commission
ers be increased from three to five
members, all to be appointed by the
governor, and that the appropriation
of 100000 year be cut to $4,000 for
the physical valuation of the railroad
properties of Kansas.
There is no likelihood of the bill be-
ing passed, as an effort to move the
bill up so it could be considered was
objected to in the senate. The mes
sage was sent to the judiciary COM
mittee.

The legislature has passed a bill
providing for the erection of a mem
,orial building facing the state house
grounds. 1t is to cost 100000. and
the money is to come out of the funds
which the state will soon receive from
the federal government on old war
claims. The memorial building will
be used as home for the G. A. R.
department. the Historical Society ard
departments of that kind now located
in the state house.

In order to choke business off on

concurrent resolution providing that
in future sessions all bills, except ap-
preparation measures, must be intro
duced during the first fifteen days Of
the session. OF course, the next leg
islature may repeal the resolution.

Governor Stubs is undecided as to
whether he will sign or veto the Case
Avery bill to exempt mortgages from
taxation and provide for a registra-
tion fee for them. Speaker Dolley
said this is one of the best laws pass
ed by the legislature. He says it will
raise more revenue from mortgages
than the state now receives in the
shape of taxes from mortgages; that
it gives the Kansas money lender an
equal show with outside money lend
ers, and that It will catch all mort
cages alike.
Opponents of the bill claim that It
simply gives the money lender the
best of it by exempting his mortgages
from taxation; that the lender will
make the borrower pay the registra-
ton fee; that it may keep eastern
money out of the state and retard the
states development
the same day. This ruling and the
fact that Senator Carey had left the
word now" out of his motion. eff
fectively killed the bill. Then Sena-
tor Carey discovered that about thirty
other bills were advanced on the same
sort of motions as he made on the
rate bill. When these measures came
he made the same objection to them
that the other senators made to his
bill. He had the senate at his feet
in fifteen minutes and the journal was
corrected so that all the bills should
be considered. The bill was passed.
