THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.
The corner stone of this new church
building on the corner of Jackson and
Gordon streets will be laid tomorrow
afternoon at five o'clock. The exercises
will consist of short addresses by DR..
Miller, president of the EmpOria col
lege, by DR.. Bailey and DR.. Osmond and
by DR.. Huntfeld- of the Third Presby-
terrain church. The pastors of the var
ious other churches of the city, espe-
cially of the North side, are invited to
be present. DR.. Glendenning, pastor of
the church. will have charge of the GER
emonies. Copies of the Topeka daily
papers will be deposited within the
stone together with other pertinent
documents.
SLIGHT SKETCH OF THE CHURCH
The Second Presbyterian church was
organized September Is, 1873. Its early
history began some eight years prior to
this date. AS far back as 1870 an eff
fort was made to establish a Presby-
terrain church in North Topeka, ably
seconded by the Rev. De. McCabe, pas
tor of the First church. The effort was
not successful and was abandoned af-
ter a few months. On the evening of
September s, 1878, a conference was
held to take into consideration the
propriety of immediate organization.
AS a result of this conference a petition
signed by % persons was sent UP to
the presbytery of Topeka asking that
a church be organized. On the 18th day
of September a committee appointed by
the presbytery effected an organization.
A few months later the Rev. J. G. Mil
ler now president of Emporia college,
was installed as the first pastor. Under
his administration the first house of
worship was built and here regular ser
vices were held until the flood of 1903
rendered it untenable. The Rev. Mil
Ier's successors were G. W. Bean, then
W. E. Archibald, followed by the pres
ent pastor. The Second Presbyterian
church of Topeka has been noted for
the ability and culture of its pastors,
for the earnest and devoted adherence
of it's members. The new structure
now building will be the finest of its
kind in North Topeka, and an earnest
of the faith of its members in the fu-
t11re of the North side.

Fifth avenue within square of the

were hurled from the windows of of
fee buildings, capped the climax Of
disorder in the stockyards strike Fri
day. During the day half dozen men
were hurt in various encounters and
shots were fred during an attack on
trainload of strike breakers" All
told Fridays violence was more wide
spread than in any previous u hours
of the strike, although no mob of
great size took part in any of the. as
sanlts
Mayor Carter H. Harrison will be
asked to do what he can toward set
ting the stockyards strike With all
prospects of peace, or even peace con-
ferences gone, the retail meat dealers
and grocers Friday night decided to
ask Mayor Harrison to take a position
in the present conflict similar to the
car strike last fall. The street railway
strike. was settled through his efforts.
Chicago, Aug. 15.-At meeting of
the market wagon drivers, held Sun
day afternoon, it was decided to de-
clare a boycott against such retail
ers as buy meat Of the packers where
men are now out. The men will more
over refuse to do any of the work that
was formerly done by the men now
on strike. This is the extreme action
that will be taken by the teamsters
during the present struggle.
There was very little rioting in the
yards Sunday afternoon and night A
number of men, said to be union men,
employed in the stockyards were at
tackled and beaten by strikers, and
James Bristol, a molder, was terribly
beaten by two men who took him for
strike breaker. Bristol is employ
ed in an iron foundry and has had
nothing to do with the strike.

trict for wheat growing, It Is not good
for mixed operations as well. 1t is be-
cause it is level, has a sufficient rain
fall every year, plenty of snow in the
winter for moisture in the early spring
and favorable climatic conditions the
year round that it is specially marked for
this branch of husbandry
In this part of the country wheat is
king, and here it is raised in the great
est possible perfection by combination
of soil and climate in it's favor, and the
tendency has been to neglect the more
laborious branches of husbandry for
which the country is equally well
adapted.
As if to cope with the offerings of ma
ture, the railway companies are ready
with their railways to haul the grain as
soon as it is relieved from the straw in
the fields by the threshers Throughout
this entire belt there is an enormous
length of railway mileage, branches are
radiating in every direction from the
trunks until they scarcely leave a grain
field more than six or seven miles from
road, and they are all required, for in
the fall and early winter the sight of the
trains passing to and from the elevators
at the railway depots makes the entire
country look like one hive of industry.
Free Homestead Lands.
There is yet a large quantity of
government land for homesteading in
this country, and as in everything
else "the early bird catches the
worm" Those who. come first are
first served. When it is preferred to
purchase railway or other company
lands they can be got at from five
dollars per acre UP. This section can
not be better closed than by show
ing practically what is made by wheat

IN WESTERN CANADA
THREE DIVISIONS AFFoRDING
CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT.
They Are Specially Adapted to Ranch
ing, Wheat Growing and Mixed
Farming-Many Americans
Settling There.

The old Romans used to say that Gaul
was divided into three parts. So is the
Canadian northwest. Gauls divisions
were political; those of western Cana
da's prairies are created by the unerring
hand of nature.
The First Division.
Chiefly because of the elevation of the
country, the absence of large lakes and
rivers, and the operations of the
Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds,
which readily cross the Rocky noun
tains in southern Alberta through gaps
and passes, the southwestern portion
of the Canadian provinces is regarded as
somewhat arid, and less fertile than
other portions of the country. Al
though this has been prevailing idea
in the east, it has been left for American
settlers who have invaded this district
within the past two or three years to
prove that splendid crops of grain can
be grown on the land which had hitherto
been the feeding ground for the herds of
cattle and bands of horses that ranged
here.
That ranChing is carried on most sue
cessfully in other portions of the prairies
west, just as agriculture is to limited
extent conducted successfully within
this boundary, is fully established, but
taken as whole it constitutes terri

of course an exceptional expenditure
as when it is once done it is done
for all time. This costs about $3.50
per acre. After the breaking, plow-
ing and seeding, harvesting, threshing
and marketing, all expenses combined
amount to about $5.25 per acre; that
is, if man has everything done it
will cost him $5.25 per acre. If he
does the work himself he is earning
wages while producing at that fig
ure. Now as the average yield is 20
bushels, and the average price so cents
-$12 per acre-the difference between
the result and cost, $675, is the profit
of grain growing year in and year
out in the great wheat belt of tie
Canadian prairie country. If a man
has half section of land and puts
half of it, 100 acres, under wheat.
which is a very common occurrence,
he makes $1,000 on wheat alone and
should make if ne is a capable farm
er enough out of ether crops, sale of
cattle, dairy and other products TO
keep himself and family the year
round besides.
The Third Division.
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt, between it and what is known
as the forest country. AS wheat
growing implies the raising of all
cereals. that can proftably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising of farm stock
1t must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such is not the case-all districts are
equally fertile, but the topography
and climatic influences differ, as well
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but it is found more
profitable to combine all the features
of the industry. On account of the
land being more broken than in tho
southern district, though the soil is
equally fertile, there are not the same
opportunities for extensive operations;
and while cattle raising is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec-
ton, especially in the winter season.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum Of
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature of the industry may be prose-
cuted. 1t is certainly then that if
the agricultural possibilities of this
portion of the prairie country be esti-
mated by its adaptability to dairy
farming even the most skeptical must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed in
any country in the world. AS inti-
mated above, even dairying may be
successfully carried on in any corner
of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend it as the
ideal spot for this branch OF the busi-
ness.
The mining districts Of British
Columbia, which consume an immense
lot of dairy products, are close at
hand and always afford good mar
ket for butter, cLeese. pork. poultry
and eggs.
