WESTERN CANADA HAS
AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly
Favored.

The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly
Favored.
An interesting feature of Western
Canada is it's climate. Those who
have made a study of it speak highly
of 1t. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates.
ETC., to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is ex-
cellent. The elevation of this part of
Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average
for Minnesota. It is a very desirable
altitude. The country has a very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. R
F. Stupart, director of the meteorologi-
cal service for Canada, says:
THE salient features of the climate
of the Canadian northwest territories
are a clear, brGcing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part of the year. and a
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is &c, and Prince Albert 62. The
former temperature is higher than at
any part of England, and the latter is
very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is rs and the mini
mum AS. Owing to this high day tenn,
perature with much sunshine. the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about IS inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about rs
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can
ada gets as much moisture when II is
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly. sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Inc announcement that Children'S
Day was to be observed at the Baptist
church last Sunday evening brought
together a congregation that taxed
the seating capacity of the room; but
it was good natured crowd and they
listened with close attention and
evident interest to the entire exer-
cises. lasting nearly an hour and half.
As this was the first Children's Day
program the Baptist Sunday school of
this city had given there was conSid-
cradle speculation and, on the part of
some. no little anxiety as to the pro-
bable success of the recital. Such
anxiety, however, seemed immedi-
ately to give way to delight at the
ready and pleasing manner in which
the children gave their selections.
In only one or two instances in the
whole program of nearly forty num-
bers was there necessity for any
suggestion of prompting. The class
exercises, of which three were given,
awakened special interest. The last of
these was an emblematic piece, enti-
tied 'The Song of the Heart" This
was presented by the young ladies
class of eleven members. The emblem
attic work was very beautiful
The program was interpreted, with
plenty Of songs, new, sprightly, and
musical The singing in which the
whole school participated, was led by
Mrs. w. L. Boyce and accompanied by
a good orchestra of four pieces.
AS the Children's Day observan ce is
intended to develop missionary spirit
as well as declamatory and musical
talent, the children had suitable
envelopes in which their offerings
we're inclosed. To this the congrega-
tion heartily added and a goodly sum
was thus devoted to the missionary de-
partment of the American Publ
cation Society.
The school certainly deserves credit
for furnishing such a good program.
