who corroborated everything his mas

some gentlemen to dinner, and they
were enjoying some fine venison very
much. The colonel said: Eyes, l went
hunting the other day and saw a fine

shot him through the head, and the

years they have always been held at
other points in this state. The con-
test is held to determine the super
iority of the colleges of the two
states. The winners Of the first and
second places at the Huron state con-
test will compete against the two
orators who won the first and second

test, for it is quite a notable event to
have the big feature in town.

Will Get Good Service.

In his column OF Political Facts and
Comment in the Minneapolis Trib-
une a few days ago Ralph Wheelock
makes the following comment On
the appointment Of Harry L.. Bras as
the new postmaster of Mitchell:
Harry L. Bras of Mitchell, South
Dakota. who has succeeded in tigur-
ing out a republican majority in a
naturally populist county for several
years, and who has also reputation
as an. educator and the editor of a
school journal, has been appointed
postmaster in his home town. Bras
is one of the few men to get into
politics who never allows it to in
terfere with his business, hence the
government will undoubtedly get
good service, while the party inter-
ests will not suffer and the South
Dakota Educator will continue to
educate. .. @

A SHARK.
a Pearl Diver Escaped n Vorssr

How a Pearl Diver Escaped n vorss-
cious Man Eater.
A successful diver must possess greaf
courage and nerves Of steel. Such Q
nan connected with a large Wrecking
company was visiting some years ags
the pearl fisheries in the gulf Of Cali
fornia, where sharks aGounded. On
n Of his trips in quest Of the pean
oyster he had a narrow escape from q
fearful death.
He had been instructed never to str
from the bottom until he had looked W
and around. Fortunately he needed this
advice. Having f'led his bag he glanced
quickly about ms caught sight of &
huge shovel nOsed shark watching him.
In an emer ent y men think East. Near
the diver was Il large rock. He moveA
quickly to the other side Of it, hoping
to dodge the ferocious monster, but the
maneuver did not work. The shark:
watched every movement. changing his
position by a slight motion OF his pow
erful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea Of binding tbs
shark by stirring up the mud Under
cover of that he might escape. He
worked for dear life and had the water
thick with mud in less than half a mir
ute. a

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS III
WESTERN CANADA.

The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia. Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for me 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 1t 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-
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields
Still the reports are simply a matter
Of opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De
partment, however, has adopted the
system OF returns of crops actually
threshed. upon which II base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore. be gsinsaid. for
they represent a compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection.
it might be mentioned that the De
partment is organizing a 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 As
bushels to the acre.
]. A. Smell. OF Yorkton. threshed
2S.OOO bushels of oats from $50 acres.
an average Of 6S bushels per acre for a
large acreage,
W. R. l.otherwen. of At -rnethy,
threshed $3.50 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-aere plot, al average
OF nearly Is bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels OF
oats from 60 acres of land. an average
of lie bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
or grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabil-
tiles of the Western Canadian prairies.

I have crossed several times, and l

to see one. When shall we see one on
this trip? AT 10 minutes to 8 to-

There's whale due then, and IL you'll
look alive you'll see it. And, If you'll

AT 7:45 the next morning the first
officer came to me. Whale sighted to

repeated it. Run quick says /, and
