A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields Of wheat in Which the tocks
We're SO Thick IL Was Impossible
TO D-ive between Them.

To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made a
trip through a portion of Western
Canada last summer, and writing of
what he saw, says:
'Wheat. for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. l saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi-
BILE to drive between them. Winters,
it is said. are longer than near Duluth.
but the Japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild"
Thousands of such testimonies are
TO be had from settlers who have
taken advantage of the low-priced
lands Of Western Canada During the
present year new districts will be
opened up in the Saskatchewan Val
ley, and advantage should be taken of
this at once. Information can be had
from any agent Of the Government,
whose advertisement appears else
where in your columns.
Yours truly.

The fact hat Mrs. Mckinley has
more than neld her own and that no

as this result Is due partly 10 the
constant use of powerful medicines,

Transport BufOrd Ashor.

A telegram received at the Mer-
chants Exchange yesterday, dated Ma
Mia, September %, announced that the
army transport Buford had gone
ashore on a sand bar off the island OF
Mindanao. Assistance, probably from
Manila, was sent to the vessel, and
the presumption is that the Buford can
be foated into deep water with little
if any damage.
The Buford had sailed from Manila
for New York, and is believed to have
picked up the Seventeenth Infantry
Regiment at Mindanao before going
ashore. The Buford was twice in this
port. having brought returning volui-
teers from the Philippines. On the last
trip from Manila the transport was
unable to make speed with the Japan
csc coal taken on at Nagasaki, and
had to be put in at Honolulu Tor d
fresh supply.
Leaving here July 10th last for Ma
Mia, the Buford put in at Honolulu on
July 18th for repairs to her cylinders
sailing July 22d, and reaching Manila
prior to August 10Th. The troopship
sailed from Manila for New York Sep
