To the Editor: A gentleman from Duluth made a trip through a portion of Western Canada last summer and writing of what he saw, says: "Wheat, for instance, will average twenty-five or thirty bushels to the acre. 1 saw shocks so thick In the field that it would be almost impossi ble to drive between them. Winters, it is said are longer than near Du luth, but the Japan current, warm Chinook winds and dry atmosphere make the winters comparatively mild.” Thousands of such testimonials are to be bad from settlers who have taken adtantage of the low-priced lands of Western Canada. During the present year new districts will be opened up In the Saskatchewan valley and ad vantage should be taken of this at once. Information can be had from any agent of the government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in your columns. Yours truly, OLD READER. Rooming -* Herd °J ^?-°°° Unowned Cattle Bo vines - out west In the northwestern corner of this state there awaits a tidy fortune for the man or set of men who can devise and execute some scheme to corral it, says a Denver writer. Here, in what may be truly called "Unknown Colorado," is a country still in that interesting border condi tion between the passing of the In dians. the trapper and the hunter and the advent of the settler. This region is so recently vacated by the Indians that the legends and t#.e scent of them are still fresh. There a*e cattle on a thousand hills, free of brand, and not a bill of sale for them held by any man. They are to be had for the catching. With a wagon load of food, a few cow ponies, and plenty of grit you may secure over 2,000 fat and line beef cattle. The old time cowboys of Routt and Rio Blanco counties know of their existence, and more than one has tried by some means to become their owner. Several years ago an eastern speculator, who had learned Ihe story while passing through the country, formed a small company, but ills capital and patience gave out while following elusive trails and the cattle still roam unbranfied. Joe Burgett, the game warden, whose arrest of some Indians precipitated a row with the Utes some years ago, made a de termined effort to capture these mav ericks, but be came off with nothing better than a broken leg. A fall from his horse put him out of the race just when success seemed near at hand, when he had surpassed all previous attempts by actually riding among the wily brutes. In the folk-lore of the country two stories are told. When the Mormons, or Latter Day Saints, of Utah, were traveling the desert in search of their Zion, they struck por tions of what i6 now Colorado. In or der to better spy out the land their forces were divided into several par ties. One took a route through Fort Collins anil crossed North Park from ! corner to .corner. Continuing It went j through Egeria and Twenty Mile Parks into what is now Routt county. It camped one night in a large bottom, after its usual fashiAi. A terrible mountain storm blew up at midnight, and the cattle, whirh were browsing near by, became stupefied. The cus tomary plan of circling about them ! failed to check the runaway, and soon j 1.000 head or mo:*, were coursing mad ly down the gulch. The roughness of the country, the blackness of the night and the absolute madness of the cattle made it impossible for the men to head them off. When the storm ceased and the morning broke 1,000 mangled beeves were found piled one on th'> other at the foot of a t*mendous clitT The pilgrims passed on and today there still remains a huge pile of blanched bones to mark the site of the catastrophe. A few of the cattle, how ever. the last to go over the bank, and whose fall was broken by the mass be neath, managed to crawl out, maimed and bruised, to wander forth and propagate and multiply into the herd that now Inhabits the valleys of the Snake and Bear rivers. The other solution is credited to the Indian de partment. Cattle furnished to the va rious Indian agencies were all branded with Vnele Sam’s special "I. D.” It is told that, when the Indians were trans ferred from the range of the White rtver to their present reservations In Utah, the department cattle were hastily and carelessly rounded up and sent with them. Later round-ups de veloped the fact that a large number of cattle had been overlooked. It is supposed that the present cattle are the offspring of others who escaped the second and third of those haphaz ard round-ups. All work and no plagiarism Is apt to make a dull sermon. ' CTflU V A Touching and Tragic ;! I ^ 1 U^ Incident of tv Civil ;! mTmL/Z War Battlefield. W |» "Whenever 1 see a tasseied Turkish fez." says a confederate veteran, "1 am reminded of a curious and grewsome incident of my campaigning days. It was on the morning after the second battle of Manassas." he continued, "and several of us from my company had gone over to the field in the hope of picking up a few things that we badly needed and for which the dead had no further use—waterproofs, for instance, and sound canteens. During the previous day's engagement.you may remember that a regiment of freshly recruited New York zouaves held the crest of a hill and were charged and almost annihilated by Hood's brigade. They were mowed down like ripened grain, and fell so thickly that the corpses literally carpeted the earth. Well, we hadn't gone very far when we came to this hill, and began to get among the dead men. The poor fellows had been mustered into service less than a week before, and they were said to be the most gorgeously uniformed military troop ever organized. They wore scarlet Turkish trousers, blue jackets, embroidered with gold bul lion braid, and purple fezes with long pendent tassels. "1 had picked up a Hz to carry away as a relic, and was about to leave the spot, when I happened to notice a much handsomer specimen on the head of a little zouave stretched out a few yards away, with a handkerchief over his face. I stepped up to make a ‘swap,’ but bad scarcely touched the tassel when a low, sweet-voice under the handkerchief said. ‘Please don't!’ "For a moment,” continued the vet eran, "that unpleasant protest, coming from what 1 had supposed to be a corpse, made my hair bristle on my head. Then 1 lifted the handkerchief, and was shocked to see the delicate, refined features of a boy not over 15. He was pale as death, and evidently desperately wounded, but he looked at me calmly. 'My God!' I exclaimed, 'what a lad you are to be here?’ ‘I’m afraid 1 am dying unless I have help.’ he replied. ‘Do you think the surgeons will be around pretty soon?' ‘The Lord knows,’ 1 groaned, for the boy’s courage touched me to the heart. 'Your surgeons have all run away, and we only have a few.’ ‘Then 1 guess all I can do is to lie here quietly and die, he said in the same gentie voice. ‘Can you get me a little water before you go?' "I filled his canteen and gave him a drink and he thanked me. 'Is there nothing else I can do?' I asked , be cause I knew our company was under early marching orders that morning, and that it would be impossible for in* to linger much longer. ‘Nothing at all. thank you,’ he replied. ‘No message to anybody?’ 'No—nothing, thanks.’ •‘1 turned away most reluctantly, and had gone only a few yards when 1 heard his thin voice calling me back 'Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but I want you to accept this as a present,’ and he handed me his fine purple fez. ‘No’ no!' 1 exclaimed greatly embarrassed; ‘I couldn't think of accepting it. When I started to, a little while ago I thought you—you—’ ‘You thought I was dead, of course,' he interrupted ‘Well, I soon will be. and that other fez will do me just as well. Please put it on my head and take mine.’ 1 saw that he would be hurt unless I did a< he desired, so I took the fez and went away. In less than half an hour our company was on the march, and. need less to say I never heard anything more of the little child zouave. He was badly wounded and undoubtedly died where 1 left him.” | 5nowi?ides In Rockies. | One of the most common questions asked by tourists on the railroad trains which labor through the can yons and over the passes of the Great Divide is the cause of the bare streaks on the mountainsides, where spaces of varying width have been cleared of timber, bowlders, everything which protruded above the surrounding sur face, making a path as distinct and cleanly cut on the sides as if some Titan of the hills had drawn a mam moth rake from peak to base. The explanation that it was caused by a snowsllde answers the question, and seems, no doubt, commonplace enough to the tourist. Those who leave the rails and flare over the mountain roads and trails during the summer months grow to have a certain respect for the mighty forces that can strip the side of a mountain and pile up timber and stone in the valley below sufficient to warm a city's houses and to pave a city's streets; but the man who really appreciates the strength and destruct iveness of a snowsitde is he who from choice or circumstances remains in the mountains through the cycle of the seasons—the man who sees Nature's wheels go round. She in her strenu ous moods takes to the mountains to work off her superfluous energy; she reaches the extreme in everything; her rains ar© cloud-bursts; her heat makes the seething air visible; her snow and winds blind and overwhelm. Smallest 1*0117 on K.Arth. A pony, from Iceland, is exhibited at Paris that stands only thirty inches high and it is regarded as a wonder. But he is a freak of nature. In Corea the ponies are all freaks apparently. Clive Bigham in a book of travel in China and Korea, says that no de scription can ever summarize all the remarkable characteristics of the Ko rean horse, or rather pony. He is, to begin with, only the size of a large Newfoundland dog. He is a past mas ter at buck-jumping. He never fails to kick or bite any human being or other animal that he can reach. This is so much the case that at night he has to he slung up by the girths un der his body, his hoofs just off the ground, while he spends his time squealing and trying to savage his stable companions, when not drinking the hot, mashed-up bean gruel that forms his only subsistence. In the daytime, however, he is a good beast of burden; but no amount of coaxing J ever appears to change his disposition, and he Is always equally delighted to punish the leg that mounts or tho hand that feeds him. Variety may be the spice of life, but most men seem to prefer cloves. Chc*p ArtlfV»ii«l !*lnnf. The preparation of a simple and cheap artificial stone is becoming aa >tii)K>rtant Gorman Industry and is likely to eventually suplaot brlckmak Iug. The ingredients are only lime and sand in the proportion of four to six parts of the former to between nine ty-six and ninety-four parts of the lat ter. The materials are thoroughly mixed and shaped into blocks of the desired size. The latter are then put in a boiler, which is sealed, and sub mitted to a steam pressure of from 123 to 150 pounds to the square inch. This operation gives a flinty character to the blocks, making them very hard. For llculth nnd Decency. Disregard for the law asrairst ex pectorating in public conveyances has at last moved the New York health department to action. Tuesday nto n nig seventy officers of the department ir citizen's attire were detailed to travel ail day in the cars of the various companies throughout the city and on all the ferry boats. They had orders to arrest any person found violating the ordlnace. Before noon several men were compelled to accompany thp offi cers to a magistrate's court, where they were fined and warned against a repetition of the offense. ('onl In'l W MII sir. w. Sumpter, 111., June 10th.—Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoe.?. She had doctored ail the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who wras very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was en tirely cured. She is now as sound and as well as ever stie was, completely re stored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is plensed at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud In their praises of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fact that Dodd's Kidney rills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her lip, has made them the mo-t talked of remedy ever known in White county.

I gave up work during these yean of torture, tried various remedies and many doctors, but all the permanent relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion, but it was catarrh all through my system, and a few bottles of Peruna mode me feel like another person, noting the impmvement after I had used the first bottle• Peruna Is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded. —Clem O.
