Ike Foster, the Bathgate land man, is

Ike Foster, the Bathgate land man, is
sending out very pretty calendar, show
ing four or five children in boat pick
ing water-lillies. We presume this is
another scene from one of my FARMS"
made famous in likes newspaper ads.
The original was probably taken little
west Of Bathgate in the spring time.
However, we doubt the utility of the sub
ject as land agents ad. in this country.
A land agents business is to sell farms.
If he sells a good farm at reasonable
price to young mantle purchaser can
take care OF what naturally follows with
out further assistance from the agent.
The Christmas number of The Define
ator is about the first of the special
Christmas issues. 1t is a beauty. The
cover is most artistic production, show
ing beautifully gowned woman, stand
ing gracefully in a brilliantly lighted
salon. Two charming love stories, one
by Cyrus Townsend Brady, plenty of ad-
vice regarding Christmas Gifts, timely
pointers on Cookery, Winter-time care
of Plants, all the fashions of the day in
terpreted into simple language, can be
found in the Christmas number of The
Delineator. 1t is splendid magazine,
satisfactory inside and out. There is no
magazine for women at present publish
ed that is more practical in all its pages.
AS Xmas gift itself, it bears its own
recommendation.
The delay in the arrival of the daily
passenger train is explained by the i'm
mense freight traffic on the main line.
There is very large amount of wheat
and fax being marketed during this fine
weather, elevators are OVERLOOKING, and
more than all, there is rush to get the
wheat to Duluth before the close of navi-
cation. The immense length Of the
freight trains compel the passenger trains
to take the sidings, and hence there is a
long delay at every meeting. Even here
at Pembina the yards are full of long
trains pretty much all the time these
days. Never was so much freight, mostly
grain, passing through here. Passenger
trains are crowded too. There is very
heavy trave! of Iowa people coming to
this state and to Manitoba looking for
land investment.

T. R. Shaw returned from the hunters
camp at Buford on Wednesday. He LETT
the party all in the Best of health and
enjoying camp life. Deer are notplenty,
though each of the hunters has at least
one and some couple-and there are
all told eight hunters and five deer. OF
course people out in the wilderness
figure differently from civilized folks
and the explanation ''lies'' with the
hunters. Mr.. Shaw says there are quite
a number of small ranchmen going into
that country and that their old camping
place had been occupied 50 that they
had to go about three miles farther
away. This accounts to some extent
for the scarcity of game. The party
expects to break camp on Saturday and
will be home on Monday or Tuesday.

On Tuesday afternoon fatal accident
occurred at St. Thomas. Bert. Goey, a
son of Mrs. Stronicks, was on his way to
St. Thomas with load of grain. His
stepfather was driving team ahead of
him, land noticed that Bert's team stopped
when few miles from the city. He
brought his team to halt and went back
to see what was the matter and found
the body of the boy, who is about IL
years of e,lying in the road life being
extinct He had evidently fallen from
the wagon, and the wheels passed over
him, inflicting fatal injuries. The coron-
or decided that an inquest was not
necessary under the circumstances. MIR,
and Mrs. Stonrick reside on the farm
owned by Will Flath, brother of Geo.
Flath of this city. Threshing operations
had been completed on the farm some
time ago, and Mr.: Stonrick and his son
were busy hauling in the grain. The
young lad who was killed had been
handling horses more or less for the
past two years, and the accident cannot
be accounted for. 1t is thought by some
that the lad fell asleep, and fell from
the wagon, and was probably killed
without regaining consciousness. The
accident is one of the saddest that ever
occurred near St. Thomas, and the ber-
eaved family has the deepest sympathy
of all.-Herald. III

THE SH w SUBSIDY.

The Chicago Tribune prints
three columns Of information IN
regard TO the present conditions
OF the shipbu ilding industry. 1t
appears that our great shipyards
"are crowded with vessels in the
course of construction. vesse,s
ranging IN size from the river tug
TO the great ocean liner. Practi-
cally every shipyard in the country
has been enlarged in the last two
years, ana most OF them are pre-
pairing to inc rease their facilities
still further. At Newport News
the investment amounts to Sl4,-
600, 900, and 1000 men are EN-.
ployed, and I'll ere were at one time
during the present year vessels
under construction having % ton
mage of ! 45, 100. Twenty six
merchant ships have been launched
this year at the yards at Bath, Me. +,
and other yes sells have been built
there costing more than 81, $50, 600.
At Camden, n. j., four freigh,ers

PROFIT IN MINING.

No enthusiast in the mining in
dustry will maintain that every
dollar put in a mining enterprise
meets with a return in dollars and
cents and oftimes, it is a COM
plete loss, having reached the
pocket of some schemer, but the
same may be said of every indnst-
rial enterprise. If money is hon
estly used to develop mining
claim, it is not wholly thrown
away, even though the claim be
found to contain mineral that
does not pay for the working of it;
the knowledge that it is not
a mineral bearing ledge is worth
what it cost.
There is today greater demand
for mineral than ever before in the
history of mining. AS might be
expected, to extract it from its
hidden recesses requires the expen-
diture of money that will not be
directly renumerated. This is one
of the risks of the business, but
the intelligent investor will study
conditions; will acquaint himself
with the enterprise and other
wise see that those risks are re-
duced to a minimum.
There are risks in mining, but
tie business is also exempt from
many risks that must be encount-
cred in other enterprises. There
are no dangers from competition;
no buying goods on falling mar
ket; no having on hand stock of
perishable products and no exorbi-
tant insurance rates to pay.
These are great risks that most
business ventures must carry, but
which do not annoy the men en-
gagged in mining.
Every civilized nation on earth
is a market for mineral products
and if money be honestly and in
telligently used the business of
mining is sure to produce a proper
return.

The farmers of the Northwest

The farmers of the Northwest
who are sci ling wheat at forty
cents bushels can have no pro-
lection against the wheat of India
cultivated by pauper labor, be-
cause their surplus must be dis
posed Of in the markets of the
world. And still there are some
of these far mers who are voting
regularly for pernicious system
which compels them to buy their
machinery and implements, as
well as neatly all the necessities
of life, from trusts whose profits
have within recent years amounted
to billions because Of the "pro-
tective' tariff that allows them to
overcharge their customers with
impunity This particular class of
farmers should do some hard
thinking, w it'll a view to follow
ing it up wi tn intelligent voting.

And now the financial organs

keep the issue of paper money
within limits. We shall yet see
