This years crop Is in every respect the
equal of last years. 10. J.
Assuming that it is, the yield per acre
in the Northwest Territories for the past
five years has averaged 81 bushels to the
acre. It should be. rem en1bered that this
included the very bad year of 1900, when
thousands of acres OF. wheat in the north
west were not cut at all. Yet the average
yield in the Saskatchewan valley that year
was 10 bushels to the acre.
Farming is a business that Is depend
ent upon weather everywhere. In all coun-
tries there come bad years. 1t is the gen.
eral average Of returns for a number of
years that should be looked to.
Even in the bad year of 1900 there were
many parts of Assiniboia and Saskatche-
wan that got from 20 to 80 bushels per
acre.

The Saskatchewan valley Is becoming
one Of the greatest wheat producing Sec
tIons Of the American continent ror these
reasons: -. ..
First-It has black alIuvIaI soil, par
tlcuIarIy rich In the food required for the
wheat pIant-so rich, In fact, that the
farmer will not need to trouble himself
about fertilization. 49,.
Second-A climate under which the plant
comes to maturity with great rapidlty.
ThIrd--On account OF It's northern tatt-
tude It receives an abundance OF sunshine
during the period Of growth.
Fourth-Absence OF rust, due to dry
ness Of climate.
Flfth-Absence Of insect foes.
Slxth-Absence OF noxious weeds.
There are many farmers in the Saskat-
chewan valley who have never had less
than thirty bushels. -.
Think of that, you farmers who have
been raising ten bushels of wheat to the
acre year after year. Think Of that, you
| people who imagine that western Canada

BY the way, when the frost was blight

The Saskatchewan valley has a very
euuable climate. THE general elevation
Of the region is about 1900 feet above sea
level or perhaps twice the averageyait1-
ltude Of Minnesota
OF the climate of this section, R. F. Stu
part, director of the Canadian meteorolog-
ical survey, says:
1.-THE salient features of the climate OF
the Canadian northwest territories are a
clear, bracing atmosphere during the
erea ter part of the year, cold winters and
warm summers and a small rainfall and
snowfall. The mean temperature for July
at Winnipeg is 66 and Prince Albert ".
About rs per cent Of the precipitation IS
during the months when the crops are
growing. Thus western Canada gets as
much rain when it is needed as mucn
more humid countries do.
With rain coming when it is needed and
the several hours more Of sunshine, this
northern. country gets than lands farther
south, 1t is easy to understand why crops
mature 50 quickly. 2 49,
While: 1T is true that the part, of Canada
under Reconsideration has a mean annual
temperature of about seven degrees below
that of southern Minnesota and that the
lIWinters show temperatures considerably
lower, it is undoubted that the winter sea

Stock will winter we'll without shelter,
though sometimes they require to be fed
by hand. It is unquestionably az very
healthful country for stock.
Thanks to the warm winds from the Pa

whole of April. It is very seldom that the
spring is long, damp and cold The

in the middle of August
with such soil, marvellous In the

AS can readily be seen the business men
and financiers back of this institution and
its numerous branch concerns are agrees
sive and prosperous. They have had the
foresight to grasp the wonderful possfbih-
ties of the western country and, selecting
trained and tried men for their represen-
tatives have entrenched themselves In a

financial power in the Canadian north
west. -#
Mr.. Bartlett, the Winnipeg representa-
tive of this solid financial institution, Is
one of the strong men Of the province. He
is conservative and careful in all his trans
actions and his word is everywhere known
to be as good as bond. The interests
entrusted to him are enormous, but are
handled with master hand. He says:
1.-The f1rst great demand IS for persons
! with some capital at their disposal. For
this class western Canada affords unlim-
| tied openings. They can engage in agrcul-
tural pursuits, taking up free grant lands.
| buying railway lands, or purchasing the
| improved farms to be found In advan-
| tageous positions In every province; or In
mining; or in the manufacturing indus
| tries: or, If possessed of a settled income,
| living will be found to be much cheaper In
Canada, with the benefits Of fine,
healthy climate, magnificent scenery.
| abundant opportunities for sport, and ia
elites for education and placing children
! in life not to be excelled anywhere.
Persons Of small capital and knowledge
Of agriculture often desire to enter upon
farming pursuits. Before this Is done ex-
perence SHOULD be acquired. Then, when
the necessary knowledge has been obtained
a farm may either be rented, purchased or
taken up as a free grant. Western Canada
| is essentially a land for the poor and
those in modest circumstances. Let them
come now and be industrious and careful
and they can become well-to-do in less
than a decade"

Mr.. Duke Said to Have Divided Eng

LONDON, Jan. 18.-The United King
dom Tobacco Dealers Alliance has is
sued its first report, giving the various
negotiations which it has had with Mr.
Duke and Messrs. Salmon G. Gluckstcin
and the Imperial Tobacco Company, none
OF which resulted In anything beyond
mere understanding with Mr.. Duke to
work together.
The United Kingdom Tobacco Dealers
Alliance is a combination of retail trades
men. controlling over 5000 tobacco sell
ers' licenses. Messrs. Salmon & Gluck-
stein are very large retailers and manu-
facturers.
Mr. Duke and the Imperial Tobacco
Company were both desirous of securing
their option of these two chief bodies OF
retailers. 1t is now stated in trade cir
cles. although not absolutely confirmed.
that Mr.. Duke will control the G,OOG
licenses Of the United Kingdom Tobacco
Dealers Alliance. as against the inter-
ests of Nessrs. Salmon & Gluckstein. who
have agreed to sell only the products of
the Imperial Tobacco Company.
This week has seen the first cut made
by any British manufacturer in reply to
Mr.. Dukes arrangement, Gallaghers hav-
ing reduced Gold Plate cigarettes from
Sd to Sd per package of ten. If the ar
rangement between Mr.. Duke and the
United Kingdom Tobacco Dealers ALI
ance is true, he has scored heavily by
splitting the forces Of the defence.

Complainant Against the Cavalry.
man Declines to Press the Matter.

The case of Walter D. Brock, charged
with larceny. was nolIe pressed by AS
sistant City Solicitor MuIlowny yester-
day.
Brock is sergeant in the Eleventh
United States Cavalry. stationed at Fort
Myer. Last Sunday he called at the home
of Miss Kate Arnold, on Fourteenth
street. to pay her a farewell visit, as his
regiment leaves for the Philippines In q
few dayc. The next day Miss Kate F.
Aungier, who resides at the same house
discovered that she had lost 500, and
Brock was arrested on suspicion. He
was released on bond for a hearing yes
terday. He was in court, and apparently
anxious for trial. He denied that he
was guilty.
Miss Aungier, however. notified Mr..
Mullowny that she would not prosecute
Brock, and proceedings against him were
dismissed. Brock bears a good reputa-
tion among the officers and men of the
Eleventh Cavalry.

COMPLICATION OVER SUGAR.
Questions Before the Brussels Con-
ference CuriOusIy Tangled,


ference CuriOusIy Tangled.
LONDON. Jan. 1s-The West Indies
Committee is an unofficial body with much
official influence. which looks after certain
interests In the British West Indian
islands. 1t is very hopeful of a successful.
termination of the Brussels conference on
the sugar bounty question.
1t was understood here on the eve of the
meeting Of the conference that all bounty
paying Powers were willing to abandon the
system, and that there was no question of
compensation. The British delegates, how
ever, soon found that this was too roseate
forecast, for they were confronted by ex-
travagant demands by the German and
other Governments.
They offered, on behalf Of Great Britain
that the import duty on sugar should
never exceed twice the present impost,
which Is regarded as very moderate. This
being scoffed at as ridiculously inadequate.
the conference adjourned and the British
delegates returned to London.
A Cabinet council was convened imme-
diately, with the result that the delegates
went back to Brussels empowered with
threat that the bounty paying countries
would have to face contervailing duties
here at least equal to the export bounties
that they paid. Such is the position of the
question today. according to the best avail
able information.
But a curious complication is threatened
by the West Indian Governments. who have
notified London that the imposition of
countervailing duties. which was long
their panacea for all their woes,
is no longer sufficient to meet the changed
conditions of the insular sugar industry
They are not likely, however, to get more
satisfactory terms.

TROUBLE IN SYMPTOM TUNNEL.
Mysterious Flow Of Water Reaches
Enormous Volume.

PARIS, Jan. 18.-Serious but unex
pected difficulties have arisen in the con-
struction of the symptom tunnel The
normal average progress hitherto has
been from 120 to $50 yards per month,
but only thirty yards were bored in the
month OF December. The friability of the
rock and its pOrousness to water in
crease, while the mysterious food, which
for several months has been pouring
through the gallery, can neither be traced
nor checked.
The water has now attained the enor-
nous volume of 10000 gallons per min
ute. 1t is believed to come from a huge
lake formed between the internal strata
of the mountain by the infiltrations of
more than a century.
Fears are felt that another of these in
