FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA. A Michigan Farmer Vlnits Sankatoon and Id Well I'lrusril. Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to re port on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton., thence east one hundred miles by wag* on.l found the country in that vicin 4 ity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing 5 feet in height. I have been, a farmer for 40 years, and consider my self a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and' oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripenwell. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, j ■\V< taskiwin, Lacoipbe and other points. From Maeleod I went to Tlegina, ' thence to Prince Albert, 217 miles north of the main line. For the first j 50 miles is fine farming country, but | the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Ttosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for them selves'—one party buying 12 sections, and Ihe other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. T have traveled over 23 different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have T ever seen such magnificent crops and es>- j peeially as fine a stock country.

Mr. Charles Ilawksley in his presiden tial address to the British Institute of Civil Engineers reviewed the progress of civil engineering in the nineteenth century, reports a London paper. In 1811 mail coaches took 41 hours for the journey from London to Holyhead. Even in 1837 the journey took 27 hours. The first railway for passengers came into service in 1825. During the cen tury about $"i,000,000,000 was invested in building railways. J n 1840 the total number of lighthouses in the British isles was 100; in I'JOO the number was 1,100. The early lighthouses were lighted by oil lamps. The oil lamps of to-day have a power of 1.800 candles and the electric arc gives the light of millions. In ISI9 the Savannah, propelled part ly by steam, partly by sail, traversed the Atlantic in 20 days. In ISH3 the voyage was made under steam alone and required 17 days. The voyage to day is accomplished ip six days or less. The largest ships formerly displaced less than 2.500 tons and now displace 15,000 tons or more. The Oeeanic's ton nage is 17.274, the Celtic's is 20,904. C0al gas was lirst used for lighting houses in 1797. The first telegraph line dates from 1838; the first submarine cable (Dover-Calais) from 1851. Electricity was first generated by steam engines in 1831. Such are a few of the statistics of engineering progress during the cen tury. They show a progress toward comfort; and happiness is. more or less, a by-product of comfort, so that we BOOTH TARKINGTON. f% v JIP) The famous American author, who will be a candidate for trie legislature of Indiana, is a Hoosier clear through and takes a kindly interest in the welfare of his state.

Thus it Is drawn by Its motor, instead of being pushed, as is the case with the ordinary automobile. Such a motor can be easily adapted to any kind of vehicle, but whether it would work well remains to be seen.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23. 190 a. THE USE OF STAMPS. Knou|(h lamird In ()n» Yenr liy tb« In it oil Sliilen to Girdle the Gluhe Three Timer*. When a stamp is placed on a letter it represents one of 60 made for each man, woman and child in the United States. Enough stamps will be issued this year to supply each individual in the United States with at least 00 stamps each. Distributed among the population of the entire globe, they supply each person with postage for not less than three letters. Placed side by side in a continuous line the total issue would girdle the entire earth three times, forming a varie gated ribbon around it nearly three inches in width. If spread out in the same manner across the United States the stamps would form a paper side walk from New York to Sati Francisco over three feet wide. Pasted into a stamp collector's book of the conven tional size, the issue for the year would half fill 1,000.000 volumes, which, placed one upon another, would form a solid column over 25 miles high. If it is true, as Edward Everett Hale says, that the United States postal system is the greatest of popular educators, these figures will serve to show the extent of Uncle Sam's present service as a school-teacher. DOWN IN THE WORLD. Man Wlio Whm Onrr 4>ovoriior of \ew Mexico Working at Job l*ri nl i iitf, Once a United States senator from Kansas and later the governor of New Mexico, E. (J. Ross is working at the case in a job printing office in Albu querque. Here is what the Albuquerque correspondent of the Boston Tran script says of the old man: "When I called on him recently - I found him in his woodyard, in the rear of his house —a rusty, bent, decrepit-looking old man. With an old handsaw he was, with painful effort, wresting from the trunk of a fallen pinion the wood with which to cook his dinner. The former senator is perforce his own man-of-all-work. His appearance in these small duties is even more pathet ic than that he presents when, every evening as regularly as the neighbor ing whistle blows, he appears upon the streets in faded garb o'f ancient cut, bending upon his cane, looking neither up nor aside, recognizing no one, doing his few errands, again to return from his self-chosen isolation of the crowded streets to the greater seclusion of his home. He bears ever a hunted and a haggard look." "Tipiiiiiu" In 01.l Eii K lnn<l. In reference to "tipping" it ia claimed that there is a certain hotel in Manchester where the head boots pays the managers SI,OOO per annum for his job, and that he is able to clear be tween $3,500 and $3,000 each year.
