PLEASED WITH ALBERTA. p * An KzcoUont Krnort from AVInconsIii and nilnneMutii Delctratoo. The opinion of five delegates from Minnesota and Wisconsin , published .by the Edmonton Bulletin over their names Is very complimentary to Northern Alberta. The report says : "We must say with all sincerity that driving all over the country for six days , we have not found one settler who was not more thnn pleased with the country and Its productions , and will not return to the land ho left. We have seen people here from all parts of the states and all doing well. Wo met a Daltota farmer by the name of McLean , who has informed us that ho has raised more grain here In three years than he did In thirteen where he came from , on half as much grotind. We have seen a number of others , both men and women , and all speak In the eame strain about Alberta. They all look well and contented ; even the chil dren are happy , in our drive over the country , In passing the countless pchool houses we could only see hap piness In the faces of the little ones. We noticed them all well dressed equal if not better than the same class of children in the state of Minnesota. The wheat that is raised here Is just beautiful , the kernel full and plnmp and may well be termed golden grain , yielding 30 to 55 bushels to the acre. This statement Is not from one farmer but from hundreds who tell the same tale. Oats yield from 70 to 100 bushels to the acre , barley from 40 to GO bush els and potatoes from 300 to 400 bush els to the acre. We have taken par ticular notice of the climate in regard to the difference between this coun try and our own. When we left Ada , Minnesota , we were in the midst of a real Dakota blizzard. When we ar rived at Edmonton we found the people ple on the streets still wearing sum mer clothing , no mittens on their hands and far less use for them. The country is simply more than we ever dreamed of. The printed matter sent out by the government does not half tell of the grand country in Alberta , open for millions of people to make beautiful homes for themselves. Too much can not be said in praise. It Is all and more than the greatest eulogist ever thought of giving to the public. We saw cattle and horses In herds grazing on the prairie like In summer time all sleek and fat. We were Informed by several farmers that most of the stock run out all winter. We also found the market extra good here for beef and pork. Hogs fetch 4 % cents live weight. A three-year- old steer will bring from $40 to $45 right from the prairie. Coal and wood are here in abundance. Coal is sold in the town of Edmonton for $2 per ton and farmers can secure coal at the mines themselves for 75 cents per load. Before closing we say to you one and all , come to Alberta , where .there are homes for millions and a promise for something to lay by for an old age. We are well satisfied with this country and as evidence have each bought a half section of C. P. R. land in township 35 , range 21 west of the 4th initial meridian , and will 'return next spring to reside. Hoping this may be of some benefit to the over burdened farmers of the United States. " Sent by Floyd Dean , son of E. S. Dean of Deanville , Mich. , who Is now in Alberta , and has taken up ICO acres there. B. & O. New Steel Italia. The recent purchase of 28,000 tons of 85-pound steel rails by the Balti more & Ohio Railroad brings the total amount of rail bought since March 1 , 1896 , up to 115,300 tons , enough to relay 870 miles of track. Of the new rail ordered eight thousand tons Is to be laid on the lines west of the Ohio river , and twenty thousand tons is to be used as follows : Forty-four miles on the Philadelphia division , 11 miles on the Second division , 13 miles on the Third division , 30 miles on the Fourth division , 21 miles on the Fifth division , 10 miles on the Connellsville division and 21 miles on the Pittsburg division. Much of the rail that will be taken up is still good enough to be relaid on branches where traffic is not heavy. The Southwestern divi sion , between Parkersburg and St. Louis , will have forty thousand tons of rail to lay this spring.

A dispatch from Bassett , Neb. , says a prairie fire of extraordinary proportions tions and of great fierceness is raging throughout Rock county. The resi dents of that entire section are fight ing the flames , but a strong wind is driving the fire , and all efforts to con trol it have failed. From Bassett to Newport , a distance of twenty miles , the whole country is a mass of flames. That section is made up largely of hay flats , and these afford fuel for tne flames.

According to mail advices from Auckland , brought by the Mariposa from Samoa , it is reported that the British cruiser Porpoise , Captain Stur- dee , suddenly found itself boycotted , no natives being allowed to trade with it. Captain Sturdee demanded an apology and a cessation of the boycott from the provisional government.
