swoRDFIsH KILLS WHALE.
Fierce battle Between Monsters Of
the Deep Witnessed by steamer
Passengers.

A sanguinary battle between deep sea
monsters. in which a whale was killed
by "thrasher," aided by swordfish,
was witnessed by the officers Of the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company's City
of Topeka on the last trip of that vessel.
The battle was fought at the entrance
of Queen Charlotte sound, When 1t was
over the water for several hundred
yards around was red with blood, says
Seattle report.
First Officer ]. s. Lawrence, in telling
Of IL. said:
"The swordfish was not visible dur
ing the fight, but from what know OF
similar battles, 1t is probable that he
was underneath the water engaged in
prodding the whale. Every time the
swordfish, which is generally IL or IA
feet long, struck the monster the mon
ster would rise out Of the water. The
'thrasher' would jump completely out
of the sea, and, spinning around on Its
head for few seconds until II had the
head of the whale located, It would then
descend with splash that looked like
building topping into the sea and
strike the whale. The latter would then
start to sound or dive, but the sword
fish would prod It from underneath un-
til 1t rose out OF the water to again be
struck by the thrasher.
This was repeated time and time
again. The noise of the fight was loud
enough to be heard for miles. Even
tually the whale began to spout streams
of blood, and, as the passengers passed
out Of sight, his awkward motions be-
| came feebler and feebler."

Bloomsbury Dealers Beware

R. M. SINNERS, agent for the
State Pure Food Department
dropped into Shamokin very un-
expectedly last week and held up
about forty dealers and carried off
samples of their wares to Harris
burg for analysis. The tests were
reported on Tuesday and sixteen
suits have been ordered against
dealers whose product had been
found to be adulterated. Some of
the samples had been preserved
by the use of tormaldehyde, fluid
containing material used in em-
balming and was unfit for use.

have known that we possess vast rec
sources for good many years. None
of us has known how vast they were.
Nnoe Of us knows yet. But we know
that we can support population Of
100, 900, 900 souls. We know that we have
romm in the Canadian northwest for
so, 900, 900. Last year Manitoba furnished
5O,OO0,000 bushels of No l hard wheat
from 100000 acres Of land. There are
ESQ, 100000 acres more. just as good that
have never been plowed. You can figure
up just what the possible production Of
that country is. You can go from Win
nipeg west to the Rocky mountains and
you will pass most of the distance thru
a. magnificent prairie country, all of which
can be and is being made fertile land
You just consider that north Of you lies
the valley of the Saskatchewan, river
1000 miles long, with a valley aver
aging 200 miles wide. Then you must
realize that north of the Saskatchewan is
the valley Of the Athabasca, river flow
ing north and belonging to the great Mac
kenzie system. Think of such a valley as
the Peace river, entering into Lake Atha-
basca, sea of water about like Lake
Erica river with 900 miles Of navigab1e
water. and the best land in Canada, and
the best climate for wheat in Canada. You
can start from the boundary line and
travel as the crow flies 100 miles and you
are passing thru the wheat belt the entire
distance and then there are minerals
iron, coal. petroleum, gold and silver"

A THORO REAL ESTATE MAN

HI. A. Wallace, senior member Of Wallace
& Co., the progressive real estate firm,
talked very entertainingly to a journal
representative on the great future Of Win
nepeg. Mr.. Wallace is zone Of those far
seeing business men who bases his predic-
ton on the great development eff Western
Canada farming lands. Mr.. Wallace be-
lieves that prospective buyer could shut
his eyes and buy Winnipeg property and
the investment would make him money
This Is also the concensus of opinion of
any stranger stepping into Winnipeg to-
day, When one considers that this is the
only distributing point to all this great
territory, where millions of acres of farm
ing land is being settled, it can be plainly
seen that Winnipeg will be the gateway
| opening into this vast and fertile country.
| Mr.. Wallace is picking up every avail
able piece of property that possesses any
| advantages and is agent for and controls
some Of the most desirable in the city Mr..
Wallace is one Of the best Judges OF city
property and values in the city. being an
old real estate man and conversant with
all conditions in Winnipeg property. He
has been strongly identified in developing
and building up this city. 1t will be of in
terest to Investors to solicit Mr.. Wallace's
Judgment If they anticipate making any
investments either in residence of track
i age property as he is thoroly in touch witt
4 all that Is available.

SMITH & o'TooLE

The above firm Is composed OF two OF.
the most enterprising and hustling young
men in Winnipeg, They are thoroly IN
touch with conditions in city real estate.
They cor slider the purchase or VIM
nipeg property a gilt-edged investment.
BY thoro, consistent business methods
they have built up g. lucrative cl1entage
and enjoy an ever increasing PATRONAGE
These gentlemen predict a STEADY,
prosperous growth OF Winnipeg from now
on, and believe tho boom days are a
thing OF the past, To use their own IAN
guage, they had the following to say:
when one considers the vast natural re-
sources Of this city, the great acreage
living beyond, which thousands OF set
tiers are now developing, 1t would seem
foolish judgment not to believe that the
city Of Winnipeg will eventually pc the
Chicago Of western Canada.
American manufacturers arc just wax
ing up to the fact that Winnipeg offers
great opportunities for manufacturing
sites and property that possesses natural
trackage facilities Is in strong demand.
Mesrs. Smith & O'Toole not only control
some valuable trackage properties, but
also have numerous pieces of good resi-
dence properties that can be procured
very reasonably. AS these gentlemen
make a speciality of city property only
any inquiries will be cheerfully answered
and any Americans wishing to invest II
city property will find tho above hrn
thoro, upright business gentlemen.

In two-rowed barley, with six varieties.
the average yield at the Manitoba farm for

In spring wheat twelve varieties, the

In potatoes the average weld from

three years cannot be surpassed anywhere.
Speaking particularly Of wheat, which,
after ALL Is the main article OF produc-
ton, many instances are quoted where the
yield ran up to 80 and 40 bushels to the
acre. In numbers of cases as high as As
bushels to the acre is reported. The gen
eral impression by those who have had
considerable experience Is that the aver
age in 1902 will be 81 bushels to the acre,
a large proportion of which would grade
No hard. The manager of the Indian
Head Experimental farm places the aver
age Of wheat on the farm at 40 bushels to

Thruout the Territories. at the time OF
writing wheat on fa,llow land ttaken from

bushels to the acre, and on stubble lane
from 20 to rs bushels per acre.
In 1901 the crop Of the territories was

this was increased to Is, 100000 bushels OF
wheat on an area of 585,576 acres, or near
ly 26 bushels to the acre, and over 10000
900 bushels Of grains and with the acre
