general thing the people are prepared
for the cold they know is coming. I
am safe in saying that the winters in
the province Of Saskatchewan cause no
more suffering than do the winters
hundreds of miles farther east, though I
am free to admit that often the ther-
mometer drops to 40 and so degrees be-
low zero. The extreme eastern part of
your own country does not realize the
great loss of population it has suffered
in the past ten years by the opening up
of the Canadian Northwest. Nearly
every man you meet is from the States.

ity has attracted them, and they have

KILLED BOY
FOR MONEY
Is the Theory of Jas. Harding Of Mekinock,
this State, Whose Son Thomas Was
Recently Found Murdered Not
Far from CuIbertson,
Montana.

A late press dispatch from Grand
Forks says: That his son was murder
ed for the money he had on his person
is the belief of James Harding of Mex
mock, this county, father of Thomas
Harding, who was found dead near
Culbertson, Mont, recently. The faith
er has returned home from making an
investigation of the case, which is one
Of the most mysterious the Montana
authorities have had to deal with for
for some time.
Young Harding had about $100 on his
person when last seen, and that amount
was gone from the body when it was
found on a barren hill two miles from
Culbertson. Harding left Mekinock
about two months ago in company with
threshing hand, whose name is un-
known, and who cannot be located, but
toward whom the finger of suspicion
points.
James Harding formerly resided at
Minneapolis, coming to Mekinock only
a year ago. The dead lad was 19 years
of age. His body was buried at Culbert-
son, being badly decomposed.

WILDCAT MEAT
AT PREMIUM
Marderous Cinnamon of San francisco
Force Up Price, Thinking That by Eat
ing Wildcat Flesi, Their Fighting
Efficiency Will Be Materi--.
ally Increased.

A press dispatch of the 18th inst.
from San Francisco says that wildcat
meat is selling at big premium in the
Chinese quarter of that city>as a result
of the strife between the Yee family
and the On Yick Tong, which has
brought about six murders in or near
San Francisco since the 1st of Novem-
ber. There is superstitious belief
among the Chinese that if their warri-
ors are fed on the flesh of the wildcat
they will assimilate the ferocity of the
beasts and their fighting efficiency be
much improved. The butchers of the
Chinese quarter are driving thriving
trade in wildcat meat among the two
clans now at war.
There has been no relaxation Of the
vigilance of the police of the China
town squad. The detectives who are
mingling with the Chinese every day
say that more killings are certain TO
come before the feud dies out. Every
prominent Chinese connected, even re-
motely, either with the On Yick or the
Yee family, is surrounded by body
guard of white men whenever he ap-
pears on the streets, as it is known
that prices have been set on the heads
of many by the warning factions. The
hair of one doomed man is said to be
turning whittier daily.
To the casual observer the Chinese
quarter looks as peaceful as though
tong wars were thing unknown. The
inhabitants shuttle about without any
sign of nerve strain or fear on their
impassive faces. The only unusual
sights are displays made by hardware
dealers, who have given revolvers con-
spicuous places in their windows, and
the wildcats, gathered from all over
the state, which are exhibited at every
butcher shop.

THE CANADIAN
NORTHWEST.
Development of that Country Within Past
Fifteen Years Almost Beyond Belief,
and Same is True of North
Half of North Da-
s. kOta.

s"To anyone unfamiliar with the de.
velopment in the Canadian Northwest
in the past few years the conversion OF
that country from what was long sup
posed to be bleak, sterile track, into
the home of thousands of progressive
farmers, would sound like fairy tale, -
said Mr.. David Stampool, of Saskat-
chewan, during the course of CONVEX
sation with The Tribune on Tuesday
afternoon last, the gentleman having
stopped off here while enroute home,
to make inquiry after some old-time
friends from Eastern Canada whom he
had been informed were now settled
somewhere in this vicinity, though the
names given were unfamiliar to The
Tribune and we assured the gentleman
that the parties whom h. sought had
never been known in tn e Bowbells
country. Mr.. had been on 3 months
visit to friends in the state of Maine,
and was making for his home near
Saskatoon, when it occurred to him that
he would like to again meet the friends
whom he had been informed were locat-
ed near this place.
Continuing his talk of the Canadian
Northwest, the gentleman said: 81
went to that country fifteen years ago,
when but few believed in its possibili-
ties, as was also the case with the
northwestern portion Of your own state
of. North Dakota. which has since been
transformed into one of the richest and
most productive districts in N ort h
America. 1t was then virgin prairie,
untouched by the tools Of the farmer.
The western Canada land could be taken
up for 81 per acre. Within these few
years thousands of homeseekers have
poured into the territory, land has been
taken up, homes, comfortable and COM
modious, have been built, and now on
every hand there are evidences of pros
perity. The land is fertile. Imme nse
crops of wheat and rye are raised, and
the present high prices mean tn a
thousands upon thousands Of dollars
havAssbeen placed in the banks by the
farmers. The climate is not sorigorous
as some of our Eastern friends imagine.
Of course, our winters are cold, ,ex-
tremely so at times but the dryness of
the atmosphere prevents the cold from

HE PREDICTS a

New York Man Back From Orient Says
Russia Is Preparing and Thinks the q.
Bear Is Getting Ready to
Fight the Japanese
4 ! - :-.' Again. ..S ...s5 .E &

! Harry Sickles Of New York, prom
inent business man Of the metropolis.
who has just returned from business
trip through Japan and Korea. is firmly
of the opinion that Russia is preparing
for war with her recent conqueror, and
that Japan is well aware Of the bellig,
erent intentions Of the Russian Bear.
1t is generally believed in Europe, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sickles view Of the sit
uation, that at the present time Russia
is making extensive plans for the re-
juyenation Of its navy:
.'In Japan they are fully informed
upon the situation, and the Japanese
statesmen know well that a war with
Russia is a possibility that they must
face said Mr.. Sickles. SIN Europe
and Japan it is generally known that
Russia began to prepare for return
engagement, you might say, as soon as
the recent war was brought to close,
through the Intervention of the United
States. Japan knows that.it will have
to meet the situation. 81
'..Let me tell you something, fact
that is generally known in Europe. In
certain diplomatic circles the victory of
the Japanese over the Russians is taken
at its real worth. In other words, the
victory of the Japanese was hollow
one. The Russians know this; they
know it full we'll, and because of this
knowledge they are preparing to con-
quer the Japanese.
..Russian battleships that were listed
at cost of construction of say $2,00O,-
600, in reality only cost approximately
$500, 1000. The balance Of the money
expended for these ships was graft pure
and simple. What was the result? It
was simply that ships that were sup
posed to be modern, steel armored yes
sells, capable Of resisting heavy bonn
bardment, were sunk easily by the
japanese. They were simply awaken
ed to the fact. The ships that the
Russian nation is having constructed at
the present time, are being constructed
outside of Russia, and they are Of the
most trnodern type.
