BY following up his investments and turn
ing them over as the requirements OF the
city needed he got enough money together
to buy partnership in a leading hotel.
the most expensive hotel in this CITY,
Today he Is the sole proprietor OF that
hotel, and owns 100000 worth of real es-
tate.
1t was all started with $500, pluck, and
a keen eye on the main chance. 1t was
done in five years, but then Winnipeg is
spoken of as the fastest growing spot In
the whole world
There are many other examples of
money having been made from carefully
invested funds in real estate, but this case
Is one that has no luck element. 1t was
carefully planned out business enter
prise. This man will tell you he never for
o moment had any chance to lose. It
took him four years to get $500, but, hav-
Ing worked so hard for this money, he

1t is difficult for any one not on the
ground to account for this continued ad-
vance In real estate, but one explanation

Rapid Growth of Towns One of
the Features of the New Coun-
try-Moosonin, One of the
Typical Towns of the Country.
BY HERBERT VANDERHOOF.
SDecial Corresnoodapca $3.50.

MOOSOMIN, N. w. t. Oct. This is
one Of the Canadian towns that are being
rapidly built up by the tide Of immigra-
tton that has been flowing into the North
west during the past few years. It is
situated on the main line of the Canadian
Pacific railway, and is 219 miles west Of
Winnipeg. Situated as it Is in the CEN
ter of one of the most progressive wheat
growing, stock raising, and dairying dis
tricts in the whole Canadian Northwest,
its future Is assured. The country all
about here is being rapidly taken up by a
first class lot of settlers, whose financial
conditions and prospects are second to
none in this country. --,....
Wheat, of course, is the principal crop
that is raised up in this country. Other
crops are also raised, but the first desire
Of every settler is to sow as much land to
wheat as he can, for the first few years
anyway. Magnificent yields are the rule.
From thirty-five to forty odd bushels to
the acre are counted upon with certainty,
and one good seasons crop means that
the cost Of the land has been realized and

known In the great wheat markets OF the
world. "- =.r l. ~,,
Elevators Of Large Capacity.
Some conception of the Quantity OF
wheat that is being grown about here can
be formed from the statement that within
fifteen miles of this town there are twen-
ty-three elevators Of standard size, with
an aggregate storage capacity of about
1.000,0 900 bushels. Besides these there are
seven elevators in this town, and first
class, modern -four mill with daily ca
pacity of $50 barrels, which is being run
steadily, and whose product is known all
over the Dominion. For a town of !, ZOO
inha bitants these facts bespeak a high
degree of prosperity, and also indicate
the exceeding richness of the land about
here and the fortunes that are being
gained by the farmers. i.
Much of the great prosperity of this Sec
tion is due to the American farmers, who
have focked here mainly from the middle
Western states. Iowa Is especially we'll
represented among the settlers, and for
mer citizens Of that state have some Of
the finest farms that are to be found for
miles about. AS an invariable rule the
former American citizens are all doing
we'll here and are enthusiastic over the
country and it's prospects. *...

the writer, when look back to my life

of the soil and the cheap price at which
it could be bought. Why, for one acre OF

The motive for the Staying of the

tive that keeps Lee from telling all
he knows about the crook who tried
10 murder him.
The instruments and acids for dis
posing of body were not intended
for him. They were kept in the
house for some wealthy victim whom
the two men and one woman crooks
planned to ensnar-. The police ex-
pect to get full details from Lee
when his condition permits resort to
harsher measures.
So certain are the local police that
Andrews and the woman are in San
Francisco that every avenue of es-
cape is being watched. Little atten-
ton is paid to outside towns. When
the Australian detectives arrive full
details of the crimes committed
there by the trio Will be had and
Identification will be made certain.
