Calgary, Alberta, Sept. 9:-The farm

fifty one bushels an acre. Most Of this

who have not yet threshed estimate
their yield at sixty bushels an acre.
B The culture of winter wheat in AL
berta is comparatively new, really being
only the third year in which the raising
of winter wheat has become general in
central Alberta.
AS an indication of how readily the
American settlers are taking hold of
the winter wheat proposition: The total
number of bushels produced last year
was $4,000, whereas the estimated yield
Of the present harvest is fully 2,000,-

Conpetition ait Panama.

The Costa Rican minister at Wash
ington has been notified by Mr.. Adee,
acting secretary Of state, that local
rates on the Panama railway have been
reduced; that rates from New York to
Panama have been cut in half, and that
Panama business is now open to all
established lines of steamers having
regular sailings. Thus the benefits ex-
pected from the construction of the
canal are already within reach, in large
part, altho the first ship may not cross
the isthmus for ten years. If you are
not already realizing the benefit de-
rived from the regular use Of golden
grain belt beer, you should order case
at once. It builds up the system men

BIG ELEVATOR BURNS
WITH 845,000 BUSHELS

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The Santa Fe elec
vator, Containing $4,000 bushels of
grain, was destroyed by fire here today.
Loss, 1925, 900.
The fire is thought to have been
started by spontaneous combustlon IN
@ wheat bin on the top story. The ex-
plosion was heard by several workmen,
who hurried to that floor. When they
arrived they saw flames issuing from
one Of the bins.
Efforts were made to extinguish the
fire, but after a short fight the men
were forced to flee from the building
Meantime the fire department had been
notified, but before the first detach,,
ment arrived the flames were beyond
control. The fremen experienced con-
siderable difficulty in reaching the fire
and in obtaining water, altho twenty
engines and two fire tugs were at the
scene.
The elevator is controlled by Harris
Cotton company, and was valued at
100000.
The elevator contained about 845.-
900 bushels Of grain, of which about
half was oats. The fire was one of the
most spectacular that has occurred in
years Large embers were carried g
across the river to the north and fell
among. the lumber piles in the yards OF
the John Spry Lumber company, Hines
| Lumber company and the South Side
Lumber company. To prevent a rope
tition of the lumber yard fire of 1891
| live engine companies were sent to the
lum Der yards to extinguish severa,
small fires which had been started by
the flying embers from the burning ele
vator.
