TRACKING A H.oHwAYMAN.

big Foot Andrews was the hard
est man / ever saw to track, said an
up-country sheriff recently. He left
tracks enough, for he had foot four
teen inches long, but he had way of
mixing up his tracks SO that we never
could tell which way he was gong.
Nobody but the stage drivers and
passengers on the coaches ever saw Big
Foot, and then he was always behind a
Winchester. AS soon as we would get
word that stage had been held up we
would strike out for the scene of the
robbery, and there we would find the
tracks that told us who the perpetra-
tor was, but the tracks would not indi-
cate the direction he took. We always
step by step, and by the time we would
get things Strengthened out he would
be out of the country.
Every officer in the northern part
of the state was on the lookout for the
robber, and every man with big feet
was under suspicion, but no one could
get SO much as a glimpse of him.
Finally hired two Wylackie Indian
trailers, who could follow a cat track
over the widest country, but they
could make nothing of Big Foot's trail.
They would run awhile in one direc-
ton; then try the track the other way
a while and finally gave it up in dis
gust Like all criminals, however, he
came to grief. Notwithstanding all
his cunning, he was finally captured.
One day I saw natty little stranger
of effeminate manners and appearance
drop the wrapper from a roll of silver.
1 mechanically picked it up and imme-
diately identified it as having been on
the coin taken from the express box at
the last robbery. I Immediately sized
up the strangers feet, but he wore
No. five lady's button shoe. 1 asked
him where he got the silver, and he
became SO confused that l took him
into custody. When I searched his
trunk at the hotel L found a Winches-
ter rifle, mask, SLOUGH hat and pair of
No. twelve boots, with heels on each
end. The mystery of Big Foot's tracks
was cleared up San Francisco Post.

WONDERFUL WHEAT YIELD.

The yield of wheat and other grains
in Manitoba and the other western
Canadian provinces this year has been
phenomenal. Thirty-five millions of
bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels of
oats, 100000 bushels of barley, besides
large quantities of flax, rye, peas, ETC.,
have been produced in Manitoba by
only $4,000 farmers, some of whom set
tied on the prairies a few years ago
with very little capital, and others al
most totally inexperienced in and un-
accustomed to farm work. This enor-
nous yield seems almost incredible,
but when one reads of farmer selling
a part of his crop for $4,000 and hav-
ing 1000 bushels still on hand, it is
easy of belief; and that another farmer,
a Mr.. Pruyn, near Emerson, Man, had
q, 900 bushels, and many of his neigh
bors harvested 10000 bushels and up
wards. A Portage Plains farmer av-
eraged SO 1-3 bushels on 40 acre field,
and near Neepawa nine acres yielded
600 bushels-an average of &C 2-3 BUSH
els per acre. Another field of 16 acres
on the same farm yielded 500 bushels,
while the entire crop of 105 acres
turned out 10000 bushels. A Carman
settler was rewarded with 36,S65 bush
els off 9S5 acres-an average of 36A
bushels to the acre. In oats, one farm
er raised rs bushels to the acre by
measurement, but by weight there
were LOG bushels, the grain weighing
48 pounds to the bushel. Of course
every farmer has not these phenomenal
crops, but there are countless instances
where the wheat yield was 80, 35, 40
and more bushels to the acre. Roots
and vegetables, too, rivaled the cereals
in their prolific yield. Stock is also
largely raised, there being extensive
ranches in Manitoba and the vast coun-
try to the west of it, and the shipments
this year have aggregated $4,000 head,
sheep being also raised in large num-
bers. Dairying is being rapidly devel
oped, and the recent establishment of
creameries has brought this new coun-
try prominently before the markets of
the world on account of the excellence
of it's butter and cheese. But wheat
raising is Manitoba's distinctive fea-
ture, the soil being particularly
adapted for the production of No.
Hard, unsurpassed by any other grade,
and it is safe to say that there is not
any part of the continent where the
yield has been so uniformly large and
the grade so high as in Manitoba.

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH said in his
recent report that the introduction of
reindeer into Alaska had proved sue
cess. There are over 800. 600 square
miles, which are covered with thick
set, long-fibered white moss, which is
the favorite food of the reindeer. If
the estimate is correct that one skilled
herder, with his family, can furnish
reindeer meat and clothing sufficient
for twenty settlers, the importance of
reindeer culture ia Alaska is manifest
New gold mines are being developed
every year, and the need of food and
