Washington, March 10. The "twin
relics" of barbarism, slavery and
polygamy, which we annexed with a
lot of other things when we .retired
vH-3imin from her Pneific colonics ill
lbW, are now to be wiped out in the
Asiatic United States, as they have
been in the United States of North
America. That is the real purpose
of the assignment of Gen. Leonard
Wood to duty in the Philippines. In
all the olllcial reference to his new
duties, the impression lias been con
veyed that he was to go into the Moro
country to "clean it up" and put
tilings of a more wholesome civic and
hygienic basis, as he did in Santiago
after the close of the Cuban war; and
it is further known that his ultimate
destiny is the supremo command in
1he Philippines, which his friends
hope lie will be able to make the step
ping stone to the head of the army
.at home.

Bradford, Pa., March 10. Last
night an extra freight train on the

containing oil caught fire. A large

. the bodies, which are being incinnr--nted.

PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
Tbc Fnrmcr In WeMern Cnnndn
Achieve "Wonderful Succcn.
One of tho first things that tho
man who wishes to change his resi
dence endeavors to find out is where
he may go nnd succeed. It need be a
matter of llttlo doubt or indecision
now. During the past four or five years
the development of Western Canada
has been so rapid, nnd the conditions
of life there bo widely known, that up
wards of 100,000 Americans have
taken up their homes there, nnd the
experience of these people is that
they are thoroughly satisfied with
their choice of home.
Tho methods of farming there arc
similar to those adopted in tho United
Stntcs, but the operations are sim
pler, the yield of grain greater, and
the profits more satisfactory. Bunch
ing is carried on with lots of success.
Mixed farming is always profitable,
while the results in grain-raising arc
ns certain ns splendid soil, excellent
climate nnd lots of sunlight can give.
Tho yields of but nothing is ns
satisfactory ns the experience of
the farmer himself, nnd extracts arc
selected from one.
A good, intelligent farmer, named
Mcars, John Mcars, to bo exact left
Cavalier County, North Dnkotn, two
years ago, and followed the thou
sands who had already gone to Cnn
ndn. He had twenty-five years' ex
perience in Minnesota, in buying
grain, including flax. But in nil his
experience he nover saw n district
so well suited to the growth of ilnx
as Western Canada. The financial
results of Mr. Moors' operations in
a single season are us follows: Wheat,
3,000 bushels, 1 hard at 572c, $1,785.00.
2,080 bushels, 1 Northern nt 54e, $1,
457.20; oats, 1,750 bushels, at 35c,
$012.50. Spcltz, 154 bushels nt 75c,
$115.50. Flax', 324 bushels, at $2, $028.
Total, $4,598.20. A return of more
than $4,500 from a little over 250
ncres, nn average of $18 per acre
is surely testimony sufficiently strong
to sntisfy the most incredulous as to
the money to be made out of the
soil of the Canadian West. It is to
facts like these arguments express
ible nnd demonstrable in dollars and
cents, that the steady nortliward
movement of American farmers is
due. Mr. Mcars is settled near Ar
eola, Assa.
A number of Americans who have
chosen Western Canada as a home
had the idea thot n man enjoyed less
freedom in Cnnndn, but they soon
found their mistake, and say the Inws
of Canada are the most liberal in the
world, nnd such as prevent the liti
gation which breeds so much bnd
feeling between people in the United
Stntes nnd costs them so deur in
lawyers' fees.
