OPINION OF THE EDITOR OF THE
"NEBRASKA FARMER. "
lie Expresses His Approval of Ameri
can Krxiicrution to Canada.
During the winter months the head
of the family consults \ritb the other
members as to the prospects for the
future , and doubtless one of the most
Interesting topics discussed la that of
movJnj to some district where It la
possible to more easily secure what Is
necessary for a comfortable existence.
where it Is an easy matter to become
possessed of Bufflcieut farm land t *
assure a competence for the future.
This not only Interests the head of
the family but v xy Individual mem
ber of It.
Having before me the knowledge
where he can secure a home with the
sxpeneUture of but little money. It Is
well for him to obtain all Information
possible regarding the productiveness
of tha land In the country that he may
select. For several years past a largo
number of Americans have removed to
Western Canada , and as nearly as it
can be ascertained almost all of these
bave expressed themselves satisfied
with the conditions that exist there.
During the past summer a number of
the editors of farm papers throughout
the United States made a personal vis
it on a tour of inspection , and the re
ports of these gentlemen prove inter-
Ing reading. Mr. H. E. Heath , editor
of the Nebraska Farmer , a paper en
joying a wide circulation , as well as
the confidence of its subscribers , after
giving some Idea of the extent of this
wonderful country , says : ]
"Western Canada Is the last unoccu
pied and unimproved good agricultural
land In America available to-day. "
He then discusses Its possibilities for
raising live stock and the advantages
It possesses for dairying , farming and
wheat growing , and says , "What has
be , n said abput the country as to tha
ability of the soli , the yield of won
derful crops of wheat , is quite justi-
To quote further from Mr. Heath ,
he says , referring to climate :
* * These people ( skeptical ones ) do not
know or realize that altitude more
than latitude makes climates ; that
large bodies of water , both fresh and
salt , that never freeze over , exert D
wonderful Influence on climate. An
other Influence on climate , more po
tent than those named above , whlclj
applies more to the Alberta district ,
Is the warm Chinook breeze from tins
'Pacific ' Ocean , which Is 000 or70Q
miles nearer than Colorado or Wyo
ming , besides the Rocky Mountain
range Is not nearly so high nor hall
so far from the ocean as It Is down
in the States.
"In further considering the cllmats
of the Canadian prairies , we should
not lose sight of the fact of the Influ
ence of the rains ; the total averag ?
rainfall for the season is but 13.33
inches for the territories and 17.3
inches hi Manitoba , and that th
amounts falling between April 1 and
Oct 1 are respectively 9.39 inches and
1287 inches or about three-fourths ol
the entire rainfall. From the middH
of June to the middle of July there ar ?
over two hours more daylight in everj
twenty-four hours than there is ic
Nebraska. The main reason why West
ern Canada wheat grows to such per.
fection is the effect of solar light , oi
longer period of sunshine it gets eaclj
day. This is what makes seeds oi
grain more perfect , grown in tills coun
try than elsewhere. This extraordi
nary rapid growth of vegetation undei
the Influence of this long continued
sunshine exceeds anything known In
lower latitudes.
"We do not wish it understood that
wheat alone Is the main product of
this country ; it leads in that , yet It i3
destined to become famous for Its cat
tle , horses and sheep and for its dairy
products. We saw more and larger
bands of cattle and sheep grazing in
Arsiniboia and Alberta than we ever
saw on the western plains of the Unit
ed States. One band of cattle num
bering 5,000 head were grazing on tha
rich grass and sheep without nurn *
her. "
The Government of the Dominion
of Canada is still using the same ener
getic eiiorts which have been used for
the past five or six years to settle up
these western prairies , and on applica
tion to any Agent of the Canadian
Government the settler will be ablate
to secure a certificate entitling him
to a low rate , which will give him tha
opportunity of visiting any portion of
Canada's grain producing domain.

LONDON. Premier Balfour'sgov
ernment today was defeated in the
bouse of commons ty tbe combined

rve.se was due to the prohibition by
Mr WyndhdU ) , uhier secretar > f jr

\he junior grades of the Irish

t1 ough defeated by a tcajority of
cloven on this question , does not
rig ird tbe vote as one of want of
contileaee , and he will not resign
tm this account. His determination
not to resign was strengthened by

The failure f the government to
cary the b'jus with it on a question
of purely administrative policy in its

cpd to gieatly weaken its already

although it is not thought probable

WASHINGTON.-The Dietrich
heaiing was practically concluded
today. Saturday D. S Rohrer of
Hastings will testify , and then the
lenate committee can deliberate on

doing or the extent to which his re
putation has been blasted.
Tne hearing was resumed at 13:30.
i1. R. Wright , of Hastings , a janitor
In the post office there until Febru-
kry , formerly a minister and formerly
Janitor of the German National
bank , -was called. Senator Hoar read
b letter from United States Attorney
Hummers about the $740 voucher for
moving the postotlice fixtures. Judge
Batty explained that tbe said con
tract was made by ex-postmaster
B hn and hence it had no relation
to Senator Dietrich. In It O. N.
Stanley contracted to move the fix-
Lures rrom tbe G. A. R. building to
Dietrich's building. The witness
knew nothing uf tbe contract of the
voucher.
Senator Hour passed tbe letter ol
Attorney Summers on to tbe other
members of the committee. Senator
Platt could not sec tbat any impor-
tan-e attached tu the letter.
The witness knew of no attempt
at fraud in connection with the
Hastings postoiEce in any way.
Judge Batty.asked tbe witness about
the conversation with Mr. Habn.
The witness said after Fisher waq
made potsmaster , Habn said to wit
ness that be would get even with
Fisher and Dietrich it' it cost him
810,000.
The attorney asked permission to
read tbe affidavits of Dr. John Cooke ,
whj died three weeks ago , and oi
Alexander Campbell , who is ill.
Chairman tloar said Attorney Sum
mers had sent to the committee the
hames of Dr. Cotke and Alex Camp
bell , saying that one had said to
the other certain things prejudicial
to Dietrich. Tbe committee .with
drew to consider the affidavits and
later Senator Hoar announced tbat
buch affidavits wuuld not constitutes
evidence in court , but as it was thq
committee's duty to investigate ths
documents would be , admitted in
evidence. They were not read.
, Judge Batty recalled Senator Die
trich and cited the statement madt
y WitnesesDutton , who said Dietrich
had said be thought Fisher ought t (
take the fixtures off his hands. The
Witness denied that such statement
had been made , but said Dutton
lirst suggested that Fisher buy tbe
postiilice fixtures and later Dietricn
bent for Fisher. Also wherein Dut-
ion spoke of tha attempt of the
stite central committee to have
Adam Breede appointed postmaster
Dietrich denied that the state cen
t al committee had endorsed Breeds
fur postmaster. Dietrich asked per
mission to put his written statement
iu answer to tbe charges in their
indictment into tbo record. It wag
granted.
