Sir Henry Irving, the famous Eng lish, actor, died suddenly on Friday night, October 13. His manager, Bram Staker, declares that Sir Henry died of a broken heart because of. re cent losing ventures in the theatrical business. The financial failures were nothing as compared wLh tho failure of the people to appreciate the artis tic productions. Washington dispatches say that in his annual message President Roose velt will ask that congress authorize the issue of bonds to tho amount of $60,000,000 to cover tho Panama ca nal expenditures already made. ,-f In a newspaper interview, Senator Allison declared that congress will pass some measures providing for railroad legislation.

That's wrong. Fuint spells are often accompanied by biliousness, but you will also notice short ness of breath, asthmatic breathing, op pressed feeling In chest, weak or hungry spells, which are all early symptoms of heart weakness.

A Washington dispatch to the Den ver News follows: The character of the republican flim-flam is, brought prominently to the fore by the semi official announcement of what is known as the "president's policy." It has to do With the things that the president will urge as necessary in his forthcoming message for congress to take action on. Singularly enough, the plan does not consider tariff re vision as a need. This is direct oppo sition of Senator Lodge's attitude in getting into the Massachusetts plat form a tariff plank. The president declared at the cabinet meeting Fri day that rate legislation would be the paramount matter for congress to consider. He is alleged to have ttfken the position that congress- cannot be expected to devote its energies to both rate legislation ana tariff lest both fall and the republican forces be scattered to the rour winds of heaven. The fact is, the standpatters will not hear of any tariff tinkerincr. This they assert positively. Many of thoso are in favor, however, of giv ing the country a decent rate" legis lation measure. To force the tariff upon them would be to lose their support on the rate bill. Hence, while the stato and local campaigns the spellbinders are talking the tariff, it is with the knowledge that nothing of the kind is in actual contemplation by the national government from which it must proceed, Trip "Through North- western Canada (Communicated) During the last few years the agri cultural region of northwestern Can ada has' attracted the attention of farmers all over the United States and from the eastern provinces of the Dominion. Wonderful stories have reached these people concern ing the excellent character of the land in this new country, Its capability of producing large crops of every thing grown farther south except corn, of its wearing qualities wliere this has been tested, of the founding principles of its fattened grasses, of tho moderate climate when tho North Inl-Uii.lA ir 4-nlrv f--s nnnt1 Alnfl An 'A UIUU1UU la IUIM21L XlltW WUOlUCIuuuu ,. and manv other thinKS. which go mnlrn nn n fir.cit- nbis Jicrlmilt.lirfll sion- Aou Two years ago the railroad an, -iii companies interested in that region took a party of agricultural editors over the grain and stock growing sec tions of Manitoba, Kassinlbola, Sas katchewan and Alberta. It was. a revelation to every member of the party. These men were familiar with agricultural conditions in older set tled portions and were capable of fudging of the agricultural possibili ties of a new country. They exam ined the wheat and oats fields, the irrigated regions, the ranging prov inces, the new towns, railroad facili ties and in fact everything which is a factor in the successful develop ment of a country. This party de cided that tile regions were remark able, that the governmental and so cial conditions were very satisfactory and that northwestern Canada had a great future. August 21 of the present year an other part of agricultural editors, un der about the same auspices differ ing somewhat in personnel, made an other trip of the same character and for the same purpose. They saw part of the country viewed two years be fore, but in addition were taken over much that they had not seen before. The result of the trip was not the same as the first. Those who had vis ited the country two years ago were more ueepiy impressed than ever. They noted the remarkable progress that had been made during that time. Hundreds of new towns were ob served on land that two years ago was a boundless prairie; thousands and thousands of acres of what was then prairie land was now bearing great crops of wheat, oats and barley, con taining root crops, vegetables and even small fruits growing luxuriant ly. They found that the class of set tlers that were going Into that coun try were of the highest order; farmers of experience and with money had purchased farms and were developing them; men with little money but of good principles and ambitious had taken up homesteads and were hap pily situated. The agricultural edi tors representing most of the great agricultural papers of the states grew more and more enthusiastic, as the tour of inspection progressed and lip on their return were all convinced that this new country offered remark able advantages, for the poor as, well as the rich men and industrious men can go into that country, take UP laud as a homestead or buy it from the railroads or big land companies at from $7 to $12 an acre and in a short time be wealthy. As an example: An Iowa farmer familiar with wheat raising settled in southern Kassinlbola, now a part of the province of Saskatchewan. Four years ago he nad a few thou sand dollars to start with. He was ambitious and bought a small tract of land, This he increased rapidly and in addition dealt in land. Now after four years he owns four thou sand acros, part of which is coyored with wheat at the present season and dollars .,- besides has many thousand in money in the bank. Another example: Two years itro a. couple of Chicago men purchased a section of raw prairie land, paying vt.uv ici ii,i u, uuiir uavwiBOn. Demg n Nnt a position to develon. nnih. ing was done. In early September these men, visiting their section, they found large wheat fields in tho vi cinity. The owners of one of them offered them $12 an acre cash. This represents the profit ir they had sold out, this time due solely to the ad- vtince in price of land. Had this land WANTED Mou and women to demonstrate anl urtvortlso.
