SPEAKS UP FOR CANADA
And No Misunderstanding His
Land He Made $3.50
Per Acre.

30 many Americans now have per-
sonal knowledge of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer
leans themselves who know the facts,
and who are too fair-minded to let a
false statement go unchallenged- A
case in point arises out Of statement
supposed to be made by resident Of
Alberta, and published recently in the
Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, in
which the condition of settlers in this
country was painted in a very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. S. L.
Wallace, of n 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman
view of February IL, 1876
To the Editor Of the Spokesman-Re-
view:
In Sundays Spokesman-Review was
letter from man in Alberta to the
chamber Of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country will do as much to helm
man to get on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. l know of
the government helping people to pro-
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and
charging only cost of delivery to the
nearest town and 6 per cent. What
more could a man ask?
1 lived five years in Southern Sas-
katchewan and earned patent to 800
acres Of as good land as 1 ever saw.
I have raised over so bushels of oats
on sod, 40 bushels of wheat, and 20
Of flax to the acre. Until 1 lost my
health 1 never was better satisfied any
where. had my land rented this last
year for one-third. 1t brought me al
most $3.50 per acre, or $1,14391 for
135 acres.
This man says he loves the land his
fathers died for. So do I, and I love
the land that gave me my home.

Send Coed Men to ST. Louis.

Democratic managers are not losing
sight of the, fact that the ST. Louis
convention will have other business to
attend to besides nominating presi-
dental ticket. A platform must be
drafted and debated and adopted.
The st. Louis platform will not, be
easy of construction. It must deal
with number OF SUBJECTS, and should
deal with them IN q definite and
straightforward manner.
For this. reason discussion of dele
gates to st. Louis has begun, The
party is advised to send only the
hest men-men both capable and ex-
perienced.
The platform builders at ST. Louis
will face task which only master
builders can execute. # apprentices,
no matter how promising, are assigned
to the work botch will certainly be
the result.

Getting Ready for Sprina Work.

l wonder how many farmers on this res
ervation have detailed plan for the spring.
work they expect to put into operation
when the winter months have passed and it
is spring again While it is quite awhile before
we can pillow, it is not too soon TO begin
planning mex. seasons work, this is just the
time to begin thinking about his schemes
10 follow when the spring weather opens
Aup.
In the the past there has been good work
sdore in clearing land and building good
substantial farm buildings. and, some. land
cleared should continue The clearing process
to as great an extent as is possible, Be-
cluse as have said before stump land, does
not bring any returns, while land that is
cleared and ready for cultivation will soon
tbe ready to return some income, to say
IN orhing of the increased value Of the land
alter it hiss been cleared. Fer the time is
coming when this section OF the state must
RELY upon agriculture for its support. and
ithe more land you have cleared the better
1T will be for you.
While their is quite little land. that is
mot accessible to roads, there are still a
number of good alIottments that are on or
anear roads with put little or no, improve
:ments or them, and as long as these tracts
,of land are allowed TO lie idle the under
brush is growing and making i harder and
more expensive to clear. Those who have
land and money should begin at once to
improve their lands by clearing and build
ing farm buildings thus getting ready for
the things that are sure to come, and in this
you will help to improve and be factor in
developing prosperous farming community
To those who have good buildings and
some land cleared it might be well to con
slider crop plans for the coming season.
There should be we'll defined plan as to
which fields and what crops are to be plant
ed. The next thing of importance is seed
selection, this should be carefully done be-
cause on the seed depends in great meas
lure the success or failure of the field or gar
den crop. The seeds planted should be
pure and true to name, and Of good gesml-
mating qualities, of course, not forgetting
lat good seed alone can produce crop
worth while, But the soil must be thorough
ly prepared to receive the seed. There are
some of the things that should occupy the
minds of farmers at this season of the
year, and by studying conditions each of
you for your farm, you will no doubt arrive
at the proper plan to pursue.

Of the capture:
Story Of Capture.
On January Is, four days after the
Appam left port, she was overhauled
by a swift but disreputable-looking
tramp steamer near the Canary
islands.
The tramp which was recognized
as German, opened fire, in the mean
time signaling the Appam to heave to.
The Appam tried to fee, but the shells
from the tramps began falling On
board, and when several persons had
Been wounded it. was decided to give
uu, &/,s. =
when the German sailors boarded
her they boasted that they had sunk
seven other British merchant ships,
and that they had 1873 prisoners on
their armed ship.
After a council it was decided to
transfer the prisoners to the Appan,
put prize crew ON board, release the
German captives on the Appam, and
turn the captured vessels Prov
toward the United States. Norfolk
seemed to offer the best haven, so the
Appam was headed in that direction.
In the meantime Lieutenant Berg
had had all the passengers and sea
men searched, taking their weapons.
Then the passengers and sailors were
drawn up and addressed by the Ger
man officer, who told them they would
not be harmed if they offered no re-
sistance. AS the Germans were all
heavily armed and maintained the
strictest vigilance, the passengers re-
NAMED passive.
