THE LETTER WAS GENUINE AND CONTAINED FACTS.

’ A Former American Settled In Western Canada Flooded with Inquiries. A short time since a letter appeared in these columns signed by Mr. W. H. Kinkade, of Alameda, Assiniboia, Western Canada, which caused that gentleman to receive a great many Inquiries, most of them anxious to know if the letter was genuine. To a large number of the Inquiries answers were sent, but It was impossible to reply to all. We take pleasure in submitting to our readers a specimen of replies sent by llr. Kinkade: “Yes, the letter dated Dec. 22, 1899, supposed to have been written by me, which you saw In your local papers, was genuine and contained facts. I will say of the Information received from the Canadian Government agents prior to coming here I did not find a single untrue statement The Canadian Government is honorable, and its agents dare not misrepresent this country, or they would lose their jobs. There is quite a bit of land for homesteading yet, a very little close to market, but mainly from six to twenty miles from stations. The country hereabouts Is a prairie, nearly level, slightly rolling; not a rough country by any means. Homestead entries cost $10; on land that has been cancelled there Is a $5 cancellation fee extra, and In some cases an inspection fee of $5; and where the former occupant has made any substantial Improvements there are small amounts to pay for improvements. This is a poor place for a poor man, unless he has brains and muscle and ‘git and grit,’ but with these requisites he can succeed. ■ The population of this part of Assiniboia has doubled during the past two years. There has been as much prairie broken the past two years as was already broken previous to 1898. C. P. R. land (odd sections) joining homestead land sells at $3 per acre. Improved quarters within four to five miles of town sell at SI,OOO this spring. This is not a garden of Eden at all. No man need think he can come and get rich in a short time without much labor; but if he will work and be saving he can soon be an independent farmer tilling his own soil and getting good returns for his labor.

“We burn coal, which costs us SLBS per load at the mines, which are twenty miles southwest of us. “People with stock and machinery should come in May, so as to have all June to break in. Those who expect to work for wages for the first year or two should come by the end of July to woik through harvest and threshing, and then go to the coal fields and work all winter, and by the spring he could be ready to improve homestead. “A quarter section of railway land sells at $3 per acre. The Interest is all figured up, and a man has about s7l to pay cash, and if he breaks at least tea acres first breaking season his s2l interest for the first year is thrown off, and the second fall following purchase he has S6O to pay, and then S6O to pay for eight more falls, which makes a total of s6ll the quarter costs him, including all interest. Paying for a quarter of land that way is like keeping a life insurance policy paid, only it does not take so long to do it By a man homesteading one quarter and buying another quarter gives him a chance to have a 320-acre farm all his own and have it paid for in ten years, and after that be is sure of an easy living if he is any good at aIL

BOERS HARD PRESSED

OCCUPATION OF KROONSTAD BY ROBERTS’ ARMY. British Now Practically in Possession of the Orange Free State—-Baller Houts Burgher Force and Takes Defensive Positions on the Biggarsberg. As a resalt of his carefully planned and rapidly executed, maneuvers in the last week Lord Roberts on Saturday was able to announce that he had taken possession of Kroonstad, and the British public, which worried at his delay at Bloemfontein, may well conclude that his irritat--Ing deliberation has been justified by the results. The first week of the present month saw Lord Roberts’ force advanced one-fourth of the distance toward Pretoria; the second week sees him cover another great stride on the »»ad to the Transvaal capital. So far an b shown in the cabled reports the Boers have employed their usual tactics. They have madfc but a show of resistance, steadily retreating rather than sustain an actual defeat, and always evading the British general’s efforts to encircle their position. The comparative ease with which Roberts has been allowed to make his advance correspondents ascribe to the fact that his force, greatly superior in numbers, has been able at each contested point to oppose* to the burghers a line so much longer than their own as to menace them on the flank in spite of their marvelous mobility. The occupation of Kroonstad seems to put the British practically in possession of the Orange Free State. There is still a considerable force, it is understood,*upon the right of the British line, and it is not at all certain that bands of Boers may not continue for some time to operate in the east and southeast of the republic. The main force of the Boer army, however, it seems, is falling back rapidly toward the Vaal river. At that stream or in the country to the north—a country admirably adapted to Boer methods of defense—the last desperate struggles of the war are to be expected. Up to the present the Boer forces have succeeded in getting away with comparatively little loss, and unless the temper of the burghefs has suddenly changed it is hardly believed that in failing to make a decisive stand up to date they have not been acting in accordance with a definite policy designed to give them the opportunity to select their own battlefield for the final encounter. The British public will be cautious in accepting stories of “pacification” among the Free Staters. Heretofore, it will be remembered, a rapid advance on the part of the British either has been followed by a long delay for needed recuperation or some uncomfortably brilliant strategic maneuvers on the part of the Boers. London military critics expect that Lord Roberts will push forward toward the Vaal river without much delay. The British troops are reported to be in excellent condition, despite the rapid marching and hard fighting of the part fortnight. They are eager to attack the Transvaalers on their own soil. It is expected that heavy fighting will take place on the Vaal, unless Lord Roberts, having advantage of a very broad front, succeeds in finding an undefended crossing for a considerable section of his army. Gen. Buller’s advance commenced Thursday, when he left Ladysmith in strength. When within two miles of Helpmakaar the Boers opened a heavy artillery fire and the British guns replied, while a portion of Buller’s troops worked round the Boer flanks. The British attack was pressed home Sunday. Bethune, on the right, outflanked the Boers, whose splendid defensive positions on the Biggarsberg were practically taken. Gen. Buller’s march subsequent to the attack was carried out without a hitch. It is reported that Gen. French is already moving northward, along the Free State Railway. Gen. Rundle and Gen. Brabant have assumed the offensive in the Thabanchu region and seem to be driving the Boers before them toward Ficksburg.

CHARGES BIG FRAUDS.

Chandler Bays the Nation la the Vic* tian of Armor Plate Men. By a close vote the United States Senate Saturday rejected the proposition to erect, widiout reference to the price at which the Government cou'.d secure armor plate for its warship*, an armor plate factory. The vote upon the direct proposition was 22 to 2-4 and subsidiary amendments were rejected by about the same vote. During the debate Mr. Chandler delivered a speech, in which he charged that the Government had been defrauded in the adoption of the Harveyixed armor. He declared a similar fraud was proposed in the attempt to force the Government to adopt the Krupp armor. Mr. Spooner and Mr. Hale made notable speeches, deprecating the war talk by Mr. Lodge. Neither the Senator from Wisconsin nor the Senator from Maine was fearful that we might becoma involved in difficulty with Germany on account of the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Hoar protested aga'nst the talk that this nation had only recently become a “world power,’’ asserting that it had been a world power siuoe the war of 1812.

Mr. Chandler took sharp issue with the statement made by Mr. Allison that it would be four years before this Government cowld get a plate of armor from its own factory if It built one. Mr. Chandler concluded with the statement that the proposed Government armor plant could be erected for >1,500,000 and a steel plant alongside it for >500,000, and he believed the plants ought to be constructed. Mr. Stewart urged the construction of a Government armor plant not only to prevent the armor manufacturers from “milking" the Government, but to enable us to do our own work if it should become necessary In taking and maintaining our place as a world power. Frank Purnell of Beebe Run, N. J., had a fight with two black snakes, which came near getting the better of him. He saw them basking in the sun, and thought he would kill them. He claims etch would measure five feet, and while tackling one the other rushed at him. In his fight he was well nigh exhausted, when the reptiles gave up and took to the woods. This year thousands of Immigrants have taken up publie land or purchased Improved land in the Northwest.

An Important Question.

A Sunday school superintendent always conducts the lesson review In his school. He spends about five minutes In explaining the lesson, and then asks: “Now, has any one a .question to ask?’ Last Sunday he explained the lesson as usual, dwelling at length on its chief thoughts, and wound up with the usual question: “Now, has any one a question to ask?’ A member of the boys’ junior class raised his hand. “Well, what Is your question?’ asked the superintendent. “Please, sir, are we going to have a picnic this summer?’—Omaha WorldHerald.

The Greenland Whale.

According to Nilsson, the zoologist the weight of a full grown Greenland whale Is 100 tons, or 224,000 pounds, or equal to that of eighty-eight elephants or 440 bears. Evil men are not supposed to love holy water, but lazy ones often hate all kinds.

Too Much Knowledge.

"You would like the situation, would you?’ asked the druggist “Got any recommendations ?’ In reply the applicant for the position flashed a diploma. *That’s all right, so far as it goes,” observed the druggist looking It over. ‘‘Ever had any experience?’ “Yes. I clerked In a drug store before I went to college.” “You can tell the difference at a glance, I suppose, between sulphate of magnesia and epsom salts?’ “I should say I could.” “Then you can do more than I can, young man,” rejoined the proprietor, bowing him out.—Chicago Tribune.

Infection from Philippine Souvenirs. Dr. Charles F. Mason, a volunteer army surgeon, writes from the Philippines to the Medical Record that there is danger of the communication of variola and small pox to friends of soldiers tn this country through souvenirs sent to them. He says that these diseases are almost universal there among all classes, and that the people have their own looms in their homes and manufacture many varieties of fine “josl” and “plna” cloth, which are much sought after by American soldiers and by them sent through the mails to their friends.
