THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop Of $4,000, 900 Bushels Of
Wheat Will Be the Record
Of 1904.

The results of the threshing In
Western Canada are not yet COM
pleted, but from information at hand,
1t is safe to say that the average per
acre will be reasonably high. and a
fair estimate will place the total yield
of wheat at 10000, 900 bushels. At pres
emit prices this will add to the wealth
of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then
think Of the immense yield of oats and
barley and the large herds Of cattle,
for all of which good prices will be
paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister Of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
coma, High Commissioner for Can
ada
"Am now able to state definitely
that under conditions Of unusual diff
Guilty in Northwest a fair average
crop of wheat of good quality has been
reaped and is now secure from sub
stantial damage. The reports Of in
jury by frost and rust were grossly ex-
aggerated. The wheat Of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty-f1ve to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good. and the
price is ranging around one dollar per
bushel."

Evening Post, says:-
when our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isothermal demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north Of where the line
was projected; but the real granary Of
the world lies up to 300 miles north
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors Of Canada for its bread. Rail-
road men see such day; it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see It,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.

1t was wild and giddy whirl that jim
Bennett led that fateful summer, ana
it is still spoken of by old Newporters
with mixed regret and laughter, Il
Then it was that the late Captain
Candy, of the Ninth Lancers, father OF
the Duchess of Newcastle-who was
known as Sugar Candy rode his
polo ponyson a. wager up the steps into
the old reading room to be properly dis
ciplined by the club governors. He
was a guest of Mr.. Bennett at the time
and his freak action acquired more inn
portance on this account. And then
the domino ball! Mothers of today tell
their debutante daughters of the splen-
doris of this affair. The electric light
was then novelty and Mr.. Bennett
was one of the first. if not the first.
to utilize it at an entertainment. In
the temporary ballroom erected on the
lawn of the stone villa was built an
immense ice grotto lit from behind by
clusters of vari-colored electric lights,
while on either side of the grotto stood
two huge owls the Bennett tutelary
birds, their eyes agloW with the same
lights. The laRishness of appointment
and decoration of this ball surpassed
anything ever seen at Newport before
and astonished the guests.
There were many episodes that never
reached the papers, less sensational
and less enterprising than they are to-
day, and the mystery Of the identity of
three fair don1inoes who set everyone
by the ears by their sallies and risque
remarks was never established. 1t was
reported at the time that they had de-
stroyed the peace Of three households.
and certain divorces of a few years
later were always said to have had
their beginnings at the Bennett ball.
A man who contributed so much as
Jim Bennett did to the gayety of New
port, and in earlier days to that of New
York, was of necessity greatly missed
for a few years after he shook the dust
of America from his feet and made his
permanent residence abroad. The
young people of the present day who
have any place at Newport little realize
what that resort was when smaller,
when people knew each other there as
they do not now and when Mr.. Bennett
made 1t; his summer playground. He
left, perhaps, at the right time, since he
decided to leave permanently, when he
departed after that memorable sum-
mer. 1t was but a few years ago that
he told his friend, Paul Bourget, the
French novelist, Of the delights of the
place as he remembered them and sent
him there to describe it in "outre-Mer."
Some of Bourgeois descriptions and
criticisms did not please certain of the
older Newporters. They were inter-
viewed in the Herald, gave their views
freely and then Mr.. Bennett had his
revenge for the criticism of his guest.
After Mrs. Paran Stevens had express
ed her disgust with Bourget and his
views the Herald appeared one morn
ing dotted on every page with the ital-
| icised lines. ma Stevens doesn't like
M. Bourgeois criticisms of Newport.
That settles it." The echoes of "Aunty
Paran's'' wrath at this sally still linger
around the Stevens villa.
