DOES NOT EXPECT TROUBLE Declares, However, That if by Any Chance This Country Should Be- come Involved in War It Is Well to Be Prepared for It. New York, July 9.—Admiral Dewey, who is sojourning for the summer at Richfield Springs, N. Y, is quoted in an interview published in the Amer- fcan, as saying in regard to the trans. fer of the battleship fleet to the Pa- cific: “It is a pity we have not ships enongh to keep powerful fleets in both oceans, but since we have not it seems that n the integest of peace it is best at this time that our fleet should be in the Pacific. “This cruiser transfer, or whatever you like to call it, is a mission of peace. 1 do not think it likely that this country will become seriously in- volved with any power. But if trouble should come by any chance it 15 well to be fully prepared for it. “It is necessary for us to hold the Balance of sea power on the Pacific. The defenses on that coast are not up to the standard of the Atlantic. That the nation that has this power con- trols the situation was proven in our war with Spain. “There were 175,000 Spanish sol- diers on the island when Cervera’s fleet started out of the harbor of San- tiago de Cuba. With the sinking of the fleet the war practically ended. “Fortunately the United States is 80 big and has such vast internal re- sdurces that it cannct be bottled up #s were the Spaniards, but the neces- sity for power on the seas remains.” In discussing the possibility of the fleet going to the Philippines the ad- miral said: _ Philippine Climate Bad. “I would say that unless the danger 'was most imminent it would not be ad- visable to concentrate a large fleet with hundreds of officers and thou- sands of men in Philippine waters. The climate Is not right, as I know from personal experience. “l belleve one of the reasons we had such an easy victory over the Spanlards was that they had been so long in that enervating climate. Iam ' certain that we would not have fought so well when we leit as when we en- tered. n enemy might take the Philip- plnes and HaSvaii, but as soon as we met thera on the sea they would have to give them up. The very presence of our sea force in the Pacific will serve every purpose.” Admiral Dewey said there should be no trovble aking the fleet around the Horn into the Pacifie. The battle- ships, he suid, should have no more Affiiculty than a ferry to Hoboken. has in crossing It was merely a ques- d a question of dollars. ving the Atlantic coast unprotected Ly the transfer of the fleet Admiral Dewey sald there was nothing to fear. There were no en- emles to threaten the Atlantle coast, he said, and even if there were the army could take care of them. The admiral said the coast defenses there are In excellent shape.

CANADA Ole S. Sleen Purchases Cut-Over Land on Mobel Lake, North of Bemidji. Beltrami county cut-over lands are preferred by Ole S. Sleen, a native Minnesotan who has visited nearly every part of the United States and has also possessed lands in Canada.

Here the virgin conditions of soil, timber and commerce beg most loud- lv for development. The demand for labor of all kinds cannot be supplied for many years, There is nothing like a new coun- try to give a start to those who need it. But little capital is required in building up a business; as competi- tion has hardly ' developed. There are openings on every hand for the ambitious young men in every trade and profession who want to “‘grow up in the country.” At this time this new country ‘is sadly in need of more farmers. The building of the Minnesota and Tnter- national railroad through the very center of this new country at once establishes a market for all produce with a direct line from St.Paul to the Canadian boundary.
