In view of the sharp advance in the price of manila and sisal fibers such as enter into consumption in the manufacture of binder twine at the prisen, it was necessary for the state to make a corresponding advance in the price of twine, and the cheapest twine sold at the prison factory this season will be pure sisal at 10 cents per pound. Manila and sisal mixed will be sold at 12 1-2 cents per pound, and even at this figure it is expected that the state will have no trouble in dis- posing of entire product. MURDER IS NOW CHARGED.

The following letter, written by Mr John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Al- berta, Canada, formerly of Washing ton, to a friend in the United States is only one of a hundred similar cases and what was done by Mr. Cumming. can more easily be done today by any good, sober and industrious farme: who chooses to make his home in the dominion. Dear Sir: You want to know how | got along since I came into Norther: Alberta. I am happy to inform you that I am not ashamed to tell. We located five miles northeast of Wetaskiwin; left Farmington, Wash. on the 29th day of May, driving all thc way. We had time to build om log house the first fall, and to make us comfortable for the family and stock. We then built four stables, 18x 20 inside, so that we could put every- thing inside them when the cold goi down to the fifties, and worked hard getting up the stables, and got through dubbing on the 1st of December; but to our surprise, we had no use for the stables only for the milk cow and two spans of horses. The balance of the horses lived on the prairie all winter and took care of themselves. The doors of two stables were left open for then to go into in a cold time, but the: would not do it, but stayed out on th prairie the coldest night we had anc looked as spry as crickets. I can go ten rods back of my hous: and count ten residents. I know al. of their circumstances. Every one of them have doubled their cultivated land, and doubled their animals, and a great deal more. All of us are com- paratively out of debt and an unusual- ly big crop to thresh and prospects of a fair price, and I expect we are as well contented a lot of people as there is to be found from Florida to the Klondike. My son bought two pounds of twine to the acre, and when we started to bind some barley we found that in- stead of taking two pounds to the acre, it was taking nearly five pounds. Then you ought to have seen him hitch up a team and make for town for 100 pounds more. I cannot say how it will thresh. All I can say is that it is well-headed, and takes an enormous amount of twine.
