To My Many Friends—I am pleased to make a report to you of the pleasaiit visit my wife and I had in Western Canada. We visited the territortles of Al berta, Assinibola, and Saskatchewan, and found them far surpassing our im agination, but little did I expect to find such rich loamy soil, so much of it, and so uniform in its level prai rie lay. I do think the soil of Canada as a rule equals if not excels the fin est prairie farm-lands of Indiana. These lands are immense in their richness, and when once the sod is rbt ted and pulverized, it is as pliable and as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy soil.

CANADA offers as fine opportunities for mixed farming as any place in my knowledge. The long, sunshiny days, together with the rich soil, produce very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and other cereal products. There is scarce ly any attempt to raise corn, except early varieties for table use. The sea son is too short to depend upon ma turing field corn. From the stand point of getting this land ready for the plow, must say that I never saw such a va?t extent, practically all ready so all that one has to do is to hitch up the plow and go to work. This is not the case with all the Canadian land, however some of it has quite a bit of timber, much of it may be called brush land, and some of it has iovely forest groves, dotted here PATENTS.

I have no doubt, but that this coun try excels as a grazing or ranching country, because they. have such rich grass, having an abundance of rain to keep it fresh. They also have plenty of water streams, and as a rule water may be reached at a depth of from 20 to 40 feet. From this you can see there can be plenty of hay mown for winter feeding, and I have had re liable farmers to tell me that" their stock will feed on hay alone, and be ready for market in the spring. Upon inquiring about the expense of raising a steer, a farmer replied that he did not consider it would cost any more than $4 or $6 to develop a three-year- I truly think Canada offers a line opening for a young man or a man who is renting land in Indiana. One hundred and sixty acres of good black land will cost you on.y ?lo at the time you enter it, and by plowing and.cul tivating live acres each year for three years, gives you one hundred and sixty acres of good land for 510. This land can he bought from the railroad com panies, private corporations or the gov ernment for $3 .to 94 per acre. Prom a financial standpoint, I be lieve that for a series of years (five) a young man can make $10 in Canada, whereas he would only make $1 here, and I feel sure that I spent more money to get my eighty acre farm in White county, Indiana, cultivated than it would cost me to cultivate eight hundred acres in Canada. This may seem a strong view to take ol the matter, hut when you take into con sideration the clearing, ditching, fenc ing and the expensive breaking In of the stumps, and then compare the ex pense to that of land needing oniy the breaking, you will conclude that it is not such a wild or. exaggerated state ment as you might at first think. I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos phere, which was bracing and refresh ing, and the cool nights which made it so pleasant for sleep. On making inquiries regarding the winters in this country, I learned that the people never suffer from the cold, as the weather is dry and invigorat ing, and in a great many places farm ers and herders allow their stock to run outside the year round. One great advantage to the settlers in Western Canada is the free cream cries established by the government and run exclusively in the interest of the farmer.

DEHS COULD' have coaled at sea DID NOT DO ALL THAT WAS POS SIBLE TO DESTROY THE COLON. Washington, Sept. 21. The Schley %court. of inquiry resumed its sessions yesterday, with Rear Admiral Ramsay occupying the place held by Rear Ad miral Howlson in the first session. The court proceeded to the inquiry before it, and during the day. heard four wit nesses. The judge advocate called witnesses who were ready to present I damaging testimony to Admiral Schley,"but hewas'not able to develop his testimony so as to place it before the court with great effect because Admiral Schley's counsel was quick to the danger to their causc and raised objections to questions as to opinions, which were sustained. Rear Admiral F. T. Higginson, who commanded the Massachusetts at San tiago, was the first witness, and pre sented the Most Dnninicinic Testimony against Admiral Schley. While Schley's attorneys were successful in having ruled out the question and answer in which the witness expressed the opin ion that Admiral Schley had not done .all that was possible to destroy the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon, there were four strong points made against Schley. These were that he never gave any written or verbal orders for block ade formation either at Cienfuegos or Santiago, but left the captains of the ships under his command to follow his •flagship, so that in the event of a fight each captain would be obliged to rely upon his own judgment and select his own antagonist: no effort was made by Schley, so far as the witness knew, to discover whether Cervera's ships were in the harbor at Cienfuegos the Mas sachusetts had plenty of coal at Cien fuegos and other Ships Coaled at Sent Capt. Chester, who commanded the collier Cincinnati, developed the fact that he had told Admiral Cchley where he could coal'at sea: there was' no real effort made to destroy the Cristobal Colon as she lay outside the harbor at Santiago, according to the testimony of Admiral Higginson. That vessel could, in his opinion, have bsen destroyed by Admiral Schley's flying squadron. Ad miral Schley was on Admiral Higgin son's ship during the engagements and gave the orders for the long range. Ad miral Higginson was asked why he did not take the Massachusetts in and de stroy the Spanish ship. His reply was "Because I was not ordered to do so." Then he was ready and did express the opinion that Admiral Schley, who was in command, had not done all that a commanding officer should have done to Destroy That Enemy, but after much argument the question and answer were stricken out of the record. The points made against Schley were strong and dangerous, and their strength was not destroyed by striking out Admiral Higginson's an swer to this question. The witnesses yesterday were Rear Admiral Higginson, who commanded the battleship Massachusetts during the Spanish war Capt. C. M. Chester, who commanded the cruiser Cincinnat ti: Maj. Thomas N. Wood, of the ma rine corps, who commanded the ma rines on the Massachusetts, and Com mander Giles B. Harber, who was ex ecutive officer of the Texas, the latter being on the stand when the court ad journed. The attendance of the public was small. LONG TO RETIRE. All Cabinet Members hnt Secretary of the Navy Will Remain. Washington, Sept. 21.—Nearly all the members of the present -cabinet are quite sure to remain during Mr. Roose velt's term, but it is very probable that Secretary Long will retire within the next few months. He feels' that he can resign without embarrassment to Mr. Roosevelt, and, therefore, it is thought that within the neiit few months he will ask the president to permit him to retire to private life. The president's former secretary, Will iam Lceb. Jr.. will remain with liim, probably as assistant secretary. Mr. Cortelyou, at the president's earnest request, will retain his position as his secretary. THREE KILLED. •'.i Wreielf of a Freight Train in MieUi vran. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 21.—Three, men were killed and one probably fatally hurt at Wayrie, Mich,, twelve miles west of here, as the result of a flight wreck on.the Pere Marquet'te railroad. The men, it is supposed were stealing a i-iddk. The wreck occurred on account of the sudden application of the brakes1 by tbe engineer to avoid running into a car .on, the track ahead.
