had the best of reasons for being hopeful and
confident. Their president was a trained soldier.
He had studied at West Point, and had had ex-
perience both in the army and in the war de-
partment. Above all things, he had the conf
dence of his people.
1t is no wonder that She people of the South
received the announcement of Lincoln's call for
10000 troops with derisive laughter and cheers.
This was on the third of April. BY the thirtieth
of May their loyalty to their cause had become
more enthusiastic. This was especially true of
their younger men. The military drill incident
to their preparation for war with them was a
pleasant pastime. There was no need of a call
for troops. Thousands of them were ready and
anxious to enlist. Manassas Junction, Va, had
been selected as the rallying place for the Con
federates, and volunteers were gathering there.
Such was the situation the thirtieth of May in
1861. A calm before the storm. Fifty-two days
later the battle of Bull Run!
The truthfulness of the old saying, Coming
events cast their shadows before" must have
been realized by the people both in the North
and in the South the thirtieth of May in 1863, for
at that time there were pending two events. eth
er of which, these people must have realized,
might prove to be the turning point of the war.
One of these, they knew, would happen soon at
Vicksburg, the other somewhere in the East, but
at what place no one could at this time ~foretell.
Any news from Vicksburg?" must have been
the question which was asked hundreds of times
on this day when ~neighbor met neighbor. The
people of the north were hoping that their sol
diers would soon succeed in capturing this
stronghold of the Confederacy, but there were
doubts in their minds. Grant had not as yet
gained the confidence of the Union people.
Within the three weeks Immediately preceding
this thirtieth of May the Union forces had been
gaining a series of victories near Vicksburg.
Grant had defeated Joe Johnston at Jackson
and had placed Union troops in charge of that
city. He had defeated Pemberton both at Cham
pion's Hill and at Big Black river. Pemberton,
now cut off from communication with Johnston,
had retired within the defenses at Vicksburg.
Eight days before this thirtieth of May Grant
had tried to take these defenses by assault, but,
being repulsed, he had taken up his position on
the heights north of the city and had begun his

to Build Ships.
Washington.-The sessions of the
Pan-American Financial Conference
opened here, speeches being made by
President Wilson, Frank A. Vanderlip,
president of the National City Bank,
New York; Secretary McAdoo. Secre-
tary Bryan, Secretary Redfeld and
many delegates from South and Cen
trail American countries.
The conference, attended by repre-
sentative bushes men from all parts
of the United States and by delegates
from nearly all the Latin-American
countries, is unique in the history OF
this Government-epoch making was
the way President Wilson and other
officials described it.
President Wilson served notice in
his address that unless private capital
provides more adequate trausporta-
ton facilities for the commerce Of
the United States with the other coun-
tries of this hemisphere the Govern
ment will enter the shipping field. His
statement was regarded as a definite
indication of the Administration to
press again for passage a ship pur-
chase bill at the next session of Con-
gress.
Next to the Presidents speech the
most significant utterance was that of
Frank A. Vanderlip, who predicted for
the United States a period of great
expansion in loans to other Govern
ments, especially in South America.

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

-
The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
Of April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
Of May all seeding was practically fin
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
a few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
q splendid lot of moisture and the
lack of rain at the present time will
no be serious. The number Of farm
ers who have gone into the raising OF
cattle has been considerably in
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The culti-
walton Of fodder corn is being largely
entered upon In Manitoba there be.
ing upwards Of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold Of 1t.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where it has
been poor for ome years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that a variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of a marketable corr
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field Of alfalfa, the
growth Of which in any portion of
the country Is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers is so we'll known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage Of the splendid gift of 100 acres
of land made by the Government of
the Dominion of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands Of some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
Of February a large number of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage Of sales made to settlers
in the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who will
take up farming in place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad.

Inhabitants were just beginning to be
subjected to the horrible experiences
OF continual bombardment and starva-
ton, which lasted until the Fourth of
July, when the city surrendered. Caves
were dug in the ground for the protec-
ton of the women and children, and
food became so scarce that rats were
sold in the butchers shops.
While on this thirtieth Of May the
people throughout the country were
watching with interest the develop
ments of the siege at V%icksburg, their
chief interest must have been conferred
on the movements of the armies in
Maryland and Virginia. Since the last
thirtieth of May these armies had met
at Antietam, at Fredericksburg and at
Charlottesville. Thousands of soldiers
from both the North and the South had
fallen in these battles. Only 25 days
had passed since the battle at Chancel-
louisville. Stonewall Jackson, the idol
of the southern soldiers who followed
him, had fallen in this battle, but the
spirit of his name remained; his faith
