GOOD ADVISE TO FARMERS-
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside a contributor writes the fol
lowing warning to American invest
ors proposing to put. their money in
to Saskatchewan farms. The -writer
of the letter, John I). Stewart, went
to Canada from Iowa. The value in
Mr. Stewart's contribution lies in the
fact that it brings out again the old
truth tjiat the farm across the road
looks far more prosperous than ours
until we know that farm.
The writer says:
"Some of the necessities for the
farmer in Saskatchawan are high here.
We cannot borrow money at present,
hut last year the bank charged ten
per cent., and wouldn't loan longer
than three months at a time. The
land companies bring in people from
the United Stales and charge them
from six to ten dollars per acre more
than they could get the same kind of
laud for back in the States. 1 paid
$22 per acre, and I could have got
land just as good for $14 an acre.
"In some places the laud is very
stony. The stones arc jut under the
mrfacc, and one cannot see them eas
ily, but when plowing is started the
stones arc very much in evidence.
Then, too, t'hc land companies lull the
Americans they can raise flax on the
new breaking. Most of them try it
and fail. 1 have seen a great deal
sown in this' way, hut never seen any
cut.
"I came in herefrom Iowa, ami al
though 1 expect to try and make it
pay out, there are lots of Americans
here, and they are all dissatisfied.
Hut when someone talks of reporting
the tine conditions here, most of
them say, 'Don't say anything until
you get rid of your land. And we
can't do that at the (trice we paid for
it.
"I wouldn't advise anyone to leave
Iowa or any good farming locality to
collie here, even even if I do ha e
land for sale. More of the farmers
here are in debt for more than they
are , worth."
THE ORCHARD PARDON.
The follow in g comment upon the
proposed pardon of Harry rchard
is reprinted from a Southern Idaho
newspaper:
A pardon is being asked fur ( r
chard, the greatest red-handed mur
derer in the penitentiary. We hope
for the good of Idaho's leputatiou
and in the name of decent people ev
erywhere, that the pardon board will
lejeet the applieation. Oivhard be
longs to the criminal clause and
should be confined the rest of his days
in a dungeon. I lis only claim for
elemeuey lies in the fact that alter
the officers wound a chain of evidence
around him that he could not break,
he turned states e idence with the
hope of saving his miserable neck.
Wc have always believed he told the
truth on the witness stand perhaps
the first time in his criminal life. In
order to get the sentimental and hys
terical clement with him to pull for
his pardon he "got religion." Reli
gion is all right and we have no kick
on anybody taking on all they can se
cure, but wc do object to its being
used to turn a degenerate and uuir-
uerer loose upon the public. Religion
has been used so much as a cloak to1
hide an evil mind that the genuine
article is a little hard to find in thee
days of democratic prosperity. Keep j
this fellow where he belongs until f
the final summons come to close his i
criminal and degenerate life and yon !
will have made Mire that one demon
is out of reach of decent men ard
women. Again the opportunity for
"backsliding" is not nearly so favo -able
when confined behind prison j
wulU. It may be a ihtle hard on the !
element afflicted with I'VHteria, feeble '
mind and slobbering sentimentalist,
hut they will find other avenue
1
through which to vent their anguish.
What Orchard needs is punishment
unto the day of his death and then
the limit in the world to follow. To
reason otherwise is to make a joke
of criminal laws either human or di-
THEY WOULD BUILD COAST
TO COAST HIGHWAY
Five Hundred Good Roads En
thusiasts Assemble Today
in Lincoln Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., 'Sep. 23. Half a
thousand good roads enthusiasts in
cluding the governors of five states
Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, Utah, and
Nebraska assembled here today to
adopt a program and take preliminary
teps for the establishment of an ocean
to ocean highway as a memorial to
Abraham Lincoln. With co-operation
expected from every state and federal
governments, and persistent work, it
was declared today that the coast to
coast roadway would be ready for
traffic if not wholly completed by the
time the Panama-Pacifis Exposition
opens at San Francisco in 1915. The
congress will be in session for two
days. It was called at the instigation
of George E. Parisoe, of Mindcn,
Neb., working in conjunction with the
Lincoln Memorial association which
has headquarters in Detroit, Mich.,
and branch offices at the various com
mercial clubs throughout lllc West.
Governor John M. Morehead, of Neb
raska, an ardent good roads enthusi
ast, today strongly urged the co-operation
of all governors.
The aim. of the Lincoln Memorial
association tis a highway, as smooth
as a city street, and as durable as any
highway constructed to stretch from
New York City to San Francisco.
That portion of the proposed high
way between Chicago and Salt Lake
City, Utah, will be the immediate con
cern of the conference which opened
today. It will not be necessary to
stake out a new route between Chica
go and Salt Lake City, according to
today's speakers. Neither will it be
necessary to construct a complete
roadbed. The plan under consideration
and which it was thought would be
unanimously adopted, will be to uti
lize existing overland routes after re
pairing them and joining them into
one highway that would be the long
est in the world. Four pioneer trails,
used by "freighters" before the days
of railways, will form the basis of the
western half of (lie proposed highway.-
These are: The Midland trail
from Denver to Salt Lake Citv. 535
miles; Omaha, Lincoln and Denver
Transcontinental route, 636 miles; the
River-to-Rivcr road from the Missis
sippi river to Chicago, 180 miles. The
greater portions of these old routes
still are in good repair. However,
it will enst many millions, speakers
said today, to weld them into one
long roadbed. Local committees along
the road will contribute, and contri
hutions already have been received
from scores of individuals, some of
them living far from the proposed
"pathway."
y. M. C. JL TAKES OVER
LYCEUM LECTURE COURSE
The Vouug Mens Christian Asso
ciation has taken over the manage
ment of the lyccum course which has
for the past few years been managed
by Albany College.
The attractions this year are all
from the Uidpath Lyceum Bureau.
The patrons of the lyccum course
were dissatisfied with many of the
numbers substituted on last year's
program by the Britt Bureau, and it
was because of this that the change
was made to the Uidpath Bureau.
The bureau has the reputation of fur
nishing the highest grade of attrac
tions and of supplying the attractions
as scheduled. It is to be hoped there
fore, that the patrons of the course
will not be dissatisfied this year.
The Y. M. C A. in taking over the
lyeeum course has not done so with
I he hopes of making money. Their
solo aim is to supply high class en
tertainments at popular prices.
With this in mind it is confidently
expected that the numbers selected
lor ibis season are the best that have
ever appeared in Albany.
There are six attractions:
Ralph 1'arlette. humorist philoso
pher. Oct. 22.
The Oixie Quiuiette, Jubilee sing
ers. Nov. 14.
Gov, Herbert 1 ladley of Missouri,
Jan.
The Four Artist, violinist, pianist,
soprano and baritone soloists, Feb
ruary Jli.
Alton Packard. America's foremost
cartoonist, Moh. Jo.
The Weather wax Quartette, male
and trumpet quartet, Apr, 17.
The season tickets are placed at
$1.51) for adults and $1.00 for all
school children and college students.
A canvass is now being made for sea
Mm tickets. Five hundred nui-t be
xuhserihed within the next few days
to make the course possible.
Every one of the attractions has
been tried out through years of ex
I eriencc on the platform. There will
l e no substitutes.
Albany needs high class moral en
tertainment for the winter months.
The management of the Y. M. C. A.
believes this is the best possible op
portunity of securing them at a price
within the reach of all, and it is for
this reason thev are making strenu
ous efforts to make thi course a sue-;
ce.

IMPEACHMENT COUHT RULES .
AGAINST GOVERNOR SULZER
Case Against New York Exec
utive Will Be Heard Before
New York Legislators.
(By United Press Association)
Albany. New York. Sen. 23. Driv
en to the last line of defense by the
impeachment court's vote against the
governor's contention that the as
sembly acted unlawfully in starting
the impeachment proceedings, Sul
zer's lawyers today called into ques
tion the sufficiency of the charges
made against their client by lam-
many. Attorney Pernck made the
argument for the defense in which he
asserted that "neither himself or his
associates desired to shield the. gover
nor. (Jur government is one - of
laws, not of men," said the attorney."
"Both the assembly and the im
peachment court are governed by the
laws ot tne state and the Jaw says
t'hat a public official may be im
peached only for wilful and corrupt
misconduct in office. The court should
so interpret the law."

THREE YOUNGSTERS ARE
CHARGED WITH LARCENY)
Oscar Ballad, Roy Crowderand
Cecil McAllister Will Appear
Before Judge Mcknight.
Armed to even a skeleton key, Os
car Ballad, aged 13, Roy Crowder,
age 13 and Cecil McAllister, age 11,
were arrested this morning at the
Southern Pacific depot by Constable
John Catfin, each on a charpe of lar
ceny from a dwelling. The lads were
arraigned before 'Judge McKnight in
the juvenile court shortly afterwards
as alleged delinquent minors and the
hearing was set for tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock. Meantime they are
being held pending the action of the
court.
Young Ballad is the son of Frank
Ballad, the Crowder boy is the son of
S. A. Crowdes and young McAllister
is the son of J. A. McAllister,
According to the story told by the
officers, it is believed that the lads
planned and are alleged to have stol
en $30 from Mrs. John Garland,
which they knew she. kept in a bureau
drawer at her home on East Fouxtfi
street. The crime is alleged to have
been committed Sunday. With this
sum it, is claimed , they purchased
from Hauser brothers gun store, sev
eral rounds of amunition and a gun.
With this equipment, together with
or'M'r articles they collected, they left

ing. At the instance of Constable Catlin,
word was' spread at Gates that he was
coming. there on a speeder after the

INCREASED ATTENDANCE IN
ALBANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
More Students Have Enrolled
Over Last Year and Many
More Expected.
' Enrollment in the Albany public
schools, which ' opened yesterday,
shows an increased attendance. The
total enrollment up this morning is
968. Last year at the close of Jhe
first day only 944 were enrolled. The
attendance yesterday enrolled in the
various schools was as follows: High
School, 200; Madison School, 302 f
Central School, 232; Maple School,
174; East School, 56.
The htffh school shows an increased
attendance of 15 pupils inasmuch as
two of the grade schools do not show
so large an enrollment as on the op
ening day last year it is expected that
within a few days the attendance will
be increased materially. The attend
ance in the second week last year
was 1007 and using this as an estimate
it is expected that at least 1050 pupils
will be enrolled next week.
