During the last few chilly days the members of the Fire Department have Indulged in the proverbial "pipesmoke," as to Just what action the local Democratic administration will take In regard to the state I ws which specifies that the members of the department shall be as near equally distributed as to politics as is possible.

There are only four or five Democrats out of the whole twenty In the department Naturally, one would think that the rest were Republicans.

GOOD LAND IS GOBBLED GUIDES MAKE A BUSINESS ' OF SHOWING NEW COMERS TO CLAIMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN WEATHER COLD. Henry Erk, of South Eighth street, who has returned from a trip around Saskatoon, in Saskatchewan province, Canada, has some very Interesting observations to make in regard to the conditions and manners of the locality. Mr. Erk did not linger longer there than to make some purchases and sales of properties. In speaking of the country yesterday he said: "A portion of the continent is being boomed by the railroads and land cori norations as being the garden spot of Ceres, Almost any sort of inducement that can be irresponsibly put into advertisements is flung out to the unsuspecting public. As a result the trains to and from are crowded with those seeking homesteads and those who got them, but could not stand the country. Vast Uninhabited Plain. "Part of the world is one vast, uninhabited plain of such barrenness that animals have forsaken it. In many places the soil is sandy, while in others it is of a poor class of loam. It is so cold that even the insides of the wells, which are driven forty to a hundred feet below surface, are coated with six inches of ice for some fifteen feet down. Horses cannot stand the climate and find very little food. In a great many cases it Is necessary to drive twenty-five miles for provisions, fuel and building materials. Oxen are used in the place of horses, which come at five hundred dollars and more a team. This means of travel and draft work is very slow and wasteful of time. Claims Already Taken Up. "When the party arrived at Saskatoon they found that all of the claims for a radius of thirty miles round the place had been filed and taken up. They were approached by a brand of human beings known in that part as "Locaters," other places "sharks." It is the business of these worthies to coerce the last arrival into the idea that he can't locate himself and that they are the proper persons for the job. For eight or ten dollars a day they will drive you for ten or twelve days to -your claim. Upon returning to the town and taking out the filing papers, it Is often found that that particular claim was taken up sometime previous to your application. You are then out of about a hundred dollars, and receiving the apologies of the,,'Lacater." Mr. Erk was forewarned against this class of guides and missed the pleasure of being "trimmed." - It Is his opinion that the advertising misrepresents the place and after arriving at the conclusion, along with hundreds of others, that there are other spots In the world where the sun shines at least once a year, he left, and after a pleasant trip, arrived in iRichmond the latter part of last week.

Monster Crop of Cherries Causes Great Demand for Cans, Sugar, Etc.

CANNING RUBBERS NEEDED ALL OTHER NECESSARY ARTICLES WERE SUPPLIED BUT DEMAND EXCEEDED SUPPLY FOR RUBBERS. The past week was a most strenuous one for the local retail and wholesale grocery dealers. The cause of this activity was due to the great cherry crop, the largest in this section of the country fpr several years past. Thousands of people are canning cherries owing to their quality and abundance and as a result the demand on the groceryman for cherries, cans and sugar has been something out of the ordinary. A local wholesale groceryman stated yesterday that the past weeK was one of the heaviest for the local jobbers for years past but that they were fortunate in meeting the demand, having a plentiful supply of sugar and cans on hand. About the only article in demand that could not be supplied, according to the same jobber, was caning rubbers. They are a very scarce commi dity owing to the great demand for them all over the country and it has been almost impossible; to secure them. The other fruit crops will follow the cherry crop in rapid succession until the peach crop arrives on the market. This means that the demand for canning supplies will continue throughout the summer.
