GORDON M'KAY. In 1888, began to
study for the career Of civil en-
gineer. When 81 years old he had a
machine shop In his native town. He
studied machinery and his opportunity
came when the shoe stitching machine,
invented by L. r. Blake, proved to be
an utter failure. He bought the patent
outright and perfected a machine
which has revolutioniEed the shoemak-
ing industry. This machine did away
with the little cobbler shops. with their
pegs and wax ends. and opened up big
factories. In few years every man,
woman and child In America, who
wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and
Mckay gained millions.
McKay's partner was Robert II,
Mathes, a practical man Of inventive
genius. When the war broke out in
1851 they offered to the government,
something unheard of, machine made
shoes for the army. In less than ten
years Il is estimated that more than
10000. 600 pairs Of boots and shoes in
America had paid royalty to Mckay
and his companies. In 1878 he formed
the Mckay Sewing Machine Associa-
ton, and In q series Of lawsuits de-
feated all rivals established his
patents and became the central power
In one Of the greatest monopolies.
Gordon Mckay married Miss Minnie
Treat Of Cambridge, many years
younger than himself. They lived to-
gethsr only a few years. There were
two sons. who have always been with
their mother. MrA KcKay finally se-
cured a divorce. and became the wife
Of Adolph A Won Bruening. an at
tache Of the German embassy at
Washington. and now charge d'affaires
Of the German legation to the Sultan
Of Morocco. Mckay, who had always
been attached to his wife, sent her
jewels and other gifts on her wedding
day. and. it is said, gave her a check
for 100000. The Kaiser became
angered at such attention, and the
young man was In the background for
several years. Then, through family
influence In Germany, he was restored
to favor, after having returned to Mr..
Mckay the money given his wife.
Mr.. Mckay did much good with his
money. He educated a number of
young women abroad in music. gave
generously to Harvard college and
founded q training college In Rhode
Island for negroes. which college bears
the name Of the Mckay institute. He
was q good violinist and left a large
collection of musical instruments 1t
is understood that the greater part of
his estate viii go to Harvard Univer-
sity, including his large library. His
next to kin are Mrs. Dexter and Miss
Catherine Dexter, of Boston.

In a Prairie Land. /,
Editorial correspondence.) !.
Moose Jaw, Assiniboia.

Moose Jaw, Assiniboia.
Farmers Review, Chicago, July o.,
1909
Most. Of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in West
ern Canada the prairies still stretch
grandly from horizon to horizon as yet
unmarried by the hand of man, save
where the iron road has been laid. To
a city nan there is something deli
ciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous clumps Of trees mark the
course Of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight Of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one Of the notable things
about all the landscape Of Western,
Canada. It is a remarkable fact that
the entire length Of the Canadian Pa,
ciic Railway from its eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
is thus not a mile Of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-either for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw Is a town Of over 1000
inhabitants and 4one Of the most Inn
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center Of a very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture. and
ranching 60 hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd Of beef cat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen O good sized
herd Of dairy cows, the property Of
the citizens in the town.
in riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need Of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts ION
some Of the farms and the trees on
the residence lots In the town.
Stories were told the writer Of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which i,
was grown originally cost them. This
Is easy to believe in view Of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year."--Henry r. Thurston.
