PROSPERITY IN CANADA. “The Farmer in Western Canada Achieves Wonderful Success. One of the first things that the man ‘who wishes to change his residence endeavors to find out is where he can go and succeed. It need be a matter of little doubt or indecision now. Dur- ing the past four or five years the de- velopment of Western Canada has ‘been so rapid, and the conditions of life there so widely known, that up- -wards of 100,000 Americans have taken up their homes there, and tke experl- ence of these people is that they are thoroughly satisfied with their choice of home. The methods of farming there are similar to those adopted in the United States, but the operations are simpler, the yield of grain greater and the profits more satisfactory. is carried on with lots of success. Mixed farming is always profitable, while the results in grain-raising are as certain as splendid soil, excellent climate and lots of sunlight can give. The yields of——, but nothing is as satisfactory as the experience of the farmer himself, and extracts are se- lected from one. A good, intelligent farmer named Mears, John. Mears to be exact, left Cavalier county, North Dakota, two years ago and followed the thousands who had already gone to Canada. He had twenty-five years’ experience in Minnesota, in buying grain, including flax, but in all his experience he never saw a district so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada. ‘The financial results of Mr. Mears’ | operations in a single season are as follows: Wheat, 3,000 bushels, 1 hard, at 57%4c, $1,785; 2,680 bushels 1 North- ern, at 54c, $1,457.20; Oats, 1,750 bush- els, at 85c, $612.50; Speltz, 154 bush- els, at 75c, $115.50; Flax, 324 bushels, at $2, $628. Total, $4,598.20, a return of more than $4,500 from a little over 2250 acres, an average of $18 per acre, is surely testimony sufficiently strong ~te satisfy the most incredulous as to the money to be made out of the soil It is to facts dike these—arguments expressible and emonstrable in dollars and cents— that the steady northward movement due.

A young man walking gown the street theother day met am’ old Irish- man whom he knew, and asking him how he felt, was answered by the Celt that he felt pretty good. The frish- man in return asked him how he was, and was answered by the young man that he felt “out of sight.” Pat did not seem to catch the mean- ing at once, but in a few moments his puzzled face turned into a broad grin, and he walked away murmuring “out of sight.” Now at the next corner there hap- pened to be standing a particular friend of the Irishman, and walking up to him he inquired how he was feeling. “Same as usual, Pat,” he answered, “but how do you feel?” Pat wondered at the blank look that appeared on his friend’s face as he answered: “You can’t see me, Dan.” —Philadelphia Public Ledger. Just in Time. Broadland, So. Dak., Feb. 23d.—Bea- dle county has never been so worked up as during the last few weeks. Every one is talking of the wonderful case of G. W. Gray of Broadland, the particulars of which are best told in the following statement which Mr. Gray has just published: “I was dying. I had given up all hope. I was prostrate and as helpless as a little babe. I had been ailing with Kidney Trouble for many years and it finally turned to Bright’s Dis- ease. All medicine had failed and I was in despair. “I ordered one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and this first box helped me out of bed. I continued the treatment till now I am a strong, well man. I praise God for the day when I decided to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Everybody expected that Mr. Gray would die and his remarkable recovery is regarded as little short of a miracle by all who know how very low he was. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are certainly a wonderful remedy. Just Saw the Point. Dalton—How that English chap did laugh at your joke. Waller—Yes, he must have heard it before.

Big Carnival of Winter Sports at Holm- enkollen—Results of the Events. Upwards of 30,000 spectators wit- nessed the great annual ski jumping contest at Holmenkollen on Feb. 1. In the immense crowd were more than 500 Swedes, as well as hundreds of English, German, French and Danish sportsmen. It is not too much to say that the tournament was the greatest sporting event in Europe for the win- ter, possibly the greatest in the world. It was a brilliant scene, for the ma- jority were in skiing costumes of bright colors, while the Swedish party, were gorgeous in their brilliant finery, which compares favorably with that of any army in Europe for color. At the head of the Swedish visitors were Crown Prince Regent Gustaf, Princes Gustaf Adolf and Wilhelm, and Maj. Gen. Gustaf Uggla. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen was a conspicuous figure at the games. ‘The newspapers of Christiania grew quite excited over the various events, indicating that the general enthusiasm was very high. The games began on Saturday, Jan. 31. The skaters gath- ered at Frogner Kilen, where the 500 and the 5,000-meter races were the first big events. In the 500-meter race Wathen was first in 47 seconds. Schwartz was only two-fifths of a sec- ond behind. Jahrl of Stockholm was third, the others in their order being Sten, Throndhjem, Tillander, Bons- naes, Drommen and Mathisen, Chris- tiania. In the 5,000-meter races, on Jan. 31, Schwartz of Christiania had a com- paratively easy victory, coming in with a record of 9:18 1-5. Wathen, the Finn, made 10:11 3-5; O. Sten of Throndh- jem, 10:14; Bonsnaes, Drammen, In Far Northland. Per Andreasen, 4:17:45; Karl Sonerud, 4:19:52; Johannes Bentzen, 4:20:02; Olav Bjaaland, 4:26:34. Between the two big’ ski events the horses were given a chance. The ski- riding events were farcial and in-| creased the opinion that this sport is neither a proper use of skis nor of | horses. The steeplechases were in- | tensely exciting. The Swedish officers proved themselves to be the most skillful riders, and with the exception of Capt. Wiel Gedde, who saved the day for Norway, the Swedes swept ev- erything befroe them. In the Christi- ania steeplechase Gedde on his Presi- dent came in first just ahead of Lieut. | Stjernsward on Filippine, Lieut. Ham- ilton on Palermo and Lieut. Gibson on | Gitana won third and fourth places. | In the Scandinavian steeplechase Ged- | de and the President secured the lead | and retained it to the finish, but the | Swedish officers captured the other | four prizes in the following order: | Lieut. Stjernsward, Lieut. Fjelman, | Lieut. Tragard, Lieut. Gibson. Again in the hunt ride the Swedish | riders evinced decided superiority. | Lieut. Stahle won first and Lieut. Ljungquist second place. A Norwegian, Lieut. Fougner, was third, but Lieut. | Rosenkrautz and Lieut. Gredin took | the other two prizes. Several of the steeplechasers received bad falls avd Lieut. Roach of the Second Svea artil- lery was painfully injured. The festivities in the evening wére calculated to give the many visitors all possible entertainment and the Scan- dinavian week of sports of 1903 will be a memorable one to all who had the | good fortune to be present. The Swedes were royally received and were treated with the utmost con- | ‘sideration. The naval and military | cadets were received with open arms 10:16 1-5, and Mathiesen, 10:18. There | by their Norwegian confreres and dur- | were seven Swedes and Finns in thé ing the whole week were true com- | race, but Wathen was the only one to | rades. The blood relationship was ac- | win a place. In the 10,0v0-meter race on Feb. 1 Bonsnaes of Drammen proved himself a powerful skater, coming home with a recor dof 19 minutes 21 3-5 seconds. The redoubtable Swartz, who fell once, came in with 19:30 3-5; O. Sten was third, Tillander and Wathen, the Finns, were fourht and fifth, respect- ively, and Mathiesen was sixth in 20:09 1-5. Schwartz and Wathen were the fa- vorites in the 1,500-meter contest, but somewhat to the surprise of all O. Sten of Throndhjem took the first place in 2:35f followed closely by Schwartz in 2:36. Saeterhaug, anoth- er Throndhjem boy, was tied up with Wathen for third place in 2:39.1-5. Tillander and Bonsnaes secured places. Schwartz will unquestionably be con- ceded to be teh best man on the ice. Not only did he win first place in the middle-distance race, but he secured second places in the 500-meter dash and the 10,000 meter race. In the fancy skating exhibition the Swedes had it all their own way, tak- ing the three highest prizes with ease. The Norsemen who entered were strngo and admirable skaters, but could not compare in skill with their rivals. The prizes ware awarded as follows: First, De Flon, Geble; sec- ond, Solchow, Stockholm, who won first prize at the international tourna- ment at Davos, Switzerland, this year; third, Andreen, Gefle; fourth, Holthe, Throndhjem; fifth, Johansson, Gefle; sixth, Olson, Throndhjem. Ashort cross-country run was given the skiers Feb. 1, and while there were many spectators and participants the event was only preliminary to the greatest of all, the Halmenkol “Derby” on Monday, Feb. 2. This attracted the greatest crowds and created the great- est enthusiasm. Only Norwegians were entered in Class 1 A, but even these premiers had many humiliations, as fully half of them fell. O. Tand- berg cleared 31 meters—100 feet—only to keel over and put himself out of the contest. Karl Hovelson was edsi- ly the best, but Karl Braaten, Martin Christoffersen, Jorgen B. Schieve and others did excellent work. There weer 81 contestants in Class 1 B, among them the Swedish entries, but the con- test was so close that only the official announcements will disclose the prize winners. In Class 2 B werethe young jumpers. They displayed more energy than skill. Leif Berg was picked as the winner, although Helge Lindboe made a splendid jump of 28 meters. The press seems to concede that Karl Hovelsen will be awarded the King’s trophy, “Kongepokalen,” and also the Holmenkol medal, althugho Helge Lindeboe’apears to have cleared the greatest distance, 28 meters. The cross-country run on Feb. 4 though not so exciting, was a remark- able event. It was over a rough coun- try with many impediments and the Swedes suffered greatly from the un- accustomed handicaps. The course was 55 kilometers from Frogner Sae- ter via Tomte, Tongen, Baerum, Ven- saas, Aamot and back to the Saeter. The runners had speed and endurance and the best ones covered it in a little over four hours, that is to say, at the rate of about eight miles an hour. The winers were Karl Hovelsen, 4:17:06; Welhaven and Aasen. Monuments will soon be raised in Norway to Welhaven, the poet, and Ivar Aasen, the philologist and author. The Aason memorial will be unveiled May 17, but no date has been set for the unveiling of the Welhaven memo- rial. The emigration from Sweden last year was greater than for any year since 1893. The total number to leave the country was 29,001, nearly all des- tined for America. centuated in every possible way and the event was a favorable one for the furthering of Scandinavian unity. BREAD MADE FROM BRAN. Food fo the Wealthy in Northern Sweden. In a letter from Papala, North Swed- en, in the heart of the famine district, C. T. Engelberg, a customs inspector, writes the following: “I have just returned from Jahrvis, twelve American miles north of Pello. Among other distressing scenes I found there a family of nine in a very | wretched condition. The whole fam-| ily was seriously ill. A doctor whom I called diagnosed their malady as ‘star- vation.’ We discovered that these nine | individuals had lived for several weeks on six quarts of milk and a scant al- lowance of bran bread each day. “Conversation with numerous farm- ers who some time ago were recknoed well-to-do and whose holdings are among the largest in this district re- vealed the fact that they are now so re- duced by famine that they and their families are subsisting on bread made from bran furnished for their cattle by the relief committee. Many of the villagers are obtaining meal in ex- change for secured notes payable next | year. The larger number, however, | being unable to get securities, are in | the most desperate straits. | “When the relief supplies began to | fail a short time ago the people were forced to begin again to slaughter cat- tle. Practically all over the districts of Pajala and Pello the peasants are killing their milch cows—one of the saddest sights we have been compelled to witness in this land of tragedy and | mourning. In nearly every case the cows had been the mainstay of the family for years and the women and children wept over their slaughter al- most as though it were their own flesh and blood that was being sacrificed.” CHEC KLUMBER BARONS. Swedish Riksdag Will Impose Ade- quate Taxes. The Swedish Riksdag is about to im- pose lumbering taxes in localities where timber is cut. The revenue thus exacted from the forest barons will replenish the empty treasuries of the remote parishes of the Norrland and put them in a position ‘to cope with the next famine crisis. | This is one of the many measures Swedish economists are devising to prevent a repetition of the terrible conditions in the far north. The na- tional treasury has been replenished by a new tax on spirits, which has al- ready netted the exchequer 11,200,000 kroner ($3,100,000) during January, 200,000 kroner ($53,600) mroe than was obtained during the correspond- ing month last year.
