SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
ShnM Results BeYond Relief.

Show Results beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch Of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in
new departure, with regard to the
collection Of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion Of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
we'll posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
of opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent a compilation Of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing system OF
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops of wheat running from 40 to 40
bushels to the acre.
j. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres
an average of 63 bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
w. r. lIotherwell, of Abernethy
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
a 5O-acre field, an average of SO bush
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T
Hutchings threshed 72S bushels of
wheat from q ten-acre plot, al average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels of
oats from 60 acres of land. an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
or gram threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabil-
tiles of the Western Canadian nrairies

What do you see? A face covered

its of Publishers.
AVERAGE COST TO PUPILS

Topeka, April 3.-School book men
from all parts of the country are begin
ming to flock this way.
The old contract to supply Kansas
with text books for II period OF i've
years expires thisye The adoptions
include 81 books. The total school
population of the state is 5OS,ooo' Inc
enrolment is close to 100000 at the
present time and is speedily increasing
so it is safe to estimate that the average
enrolment for the next five years will
be 400, 600 ut least.
Some figures have been made by
state official acquainted with school
work in regard to the number OF books
used annually, the cost and profits to
the publishers. In his calculations no
counted 90 per cent profit. This, he
says, is conservative figure.
According to his estimate the average
cost of books per pupil per year is
S1.35. According to the table prepared
by him showing the books to be adopt
ed. the price for each as fixed by law,
the estimated number used in the state
annually, the cost to the pupil, and the
profits of the publisher figured on 20
per cent basis, the totals show that the
five years contract will call for the
payment by those who use the books of
a total per year of So, Cos, $50; for five
Yeas, $l3, O70,o0O with an annual

Bangor, Me-. April 7.-Itis estimated
that about IS per cent of the logs cut
ont the Kennebec river last winter will

Dead river, one of the principal
branches Of the Kennebec, the cut was
40, 900, 900 feet. and of this quantity TO-.
900, 600 feet will be left behind.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things

is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to
any other brand, but because each
Toe package contains 16 ozs., while all
the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. 1t

The Brotherhood of Nations.

How much nearer to each other the ma

than was the case a few decades ago.
When weeks and month were required
for communications between the United
States and Europe the countries of the
old world appeared to be long way off.
Now the circumference of old earth is
belted with telegraph and cable lines in
every possible direction. What happens
to-day in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,
South America and the great islands of
the sea is made known to us to morrow
by great news papers like The Chicago
Record-Herald, whose foreign news
correspondents are located in every
important city in the world out
side OF the United States. In add
ton to it's own correspondents, The
Record Herald enjoys the foreign news
service of the New York Herald, famous
for manv years for the reliability of its
foreign news, and also of the great CO
operative news-gathering organization
the Assc ciated Press, No other daily
newspaper in America posses ses facilities
so varied and extensive for covering the
news of all nations.

Peanut Politics.

Certain Republicans of the peanut va
riety are scared over the chances OF the
election of the independent candidates
in the First and Second wards, aud they
undertook to knock out the ticket on a
technicality. 1t was necessary to have
the ticket placed on the ballot by petition,
and they found flaw in the petition and
the nomination papers. j G Johnson
filed an objection in the First ward, and
as the objection filed from the Second
ward was in the anne handwriting, we
presume he got up the objection from
that ward, too, although it was signed
by another man.
The candidates in these two wards
were notified, and the mayor called a
meeting of the city council to take action
in the matter. This r:eeting was held
Tuesday evening, and, according to law,
one member OF the council was selected
to sit with the mayor and city clerk as
a court to adjudicate the matter. Coun-,
Gilman Parks was selected. The mayor
then named Wednesday, at / d. H., as
the time of the meeting of the committee,
or court. At this meeting, ]. 6. John
son appeared to argue the objections,
and Hon. N. L. Bowman and County
Attorney Davis represented the candi-
dates whose names were objected to.
After the arguments, themembers OF the
court retired to the clerks Office and
agreed on verdict, which was unani-
nous, and which gave the independent
candidates, or their representatives,u Jun
til Thursday, at IL O'Clock, to amend
to correct the errors. The verdict was
fair and just
The nomination papers and petitions
in the Third and Fourth wards were the
same as in the First and Second wards,
yet, no objections were made to the for
mer. Why? Simply because the object
ing Republicans think the Third and
and Fourth wards are safe for them.
while they fear that the First and Second
wards are not SAFE That is all there is /
to it. They believe, with reason, tina t |
there is good prospect for the election
of the independent candidates in the
First and Second wards, SO they schemed
to keep. the ticket off the ballot. thus
giving the Republican ticket cleai Held.
Such tacticts are not endorsed by fair
men and women of any party, and this
action of the DIRECTORS will not help
their candidates.
