The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made OF the
Agents OF the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
ranies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points
to a most prosperous year. There is
room for hundreds of thousands adj
ditional settlers, much new land hav'
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. M. Girls
void Of Red Deer, Alta, formerly OF
Grever, Montana, written on the End
OF January Is as follows:
II am located ~ miles from a
beautiful lake 10 miles long, where
there is church, school, stores,
creamery and two postoffices. The
fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers) horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good slelghing, as we just had Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.
lumbia. This is a mixed farming
and dairy country. This is the right
time to get foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from
wind gumbo and alkali here and have
fine. clear soft well and spring water
at depth of from to 20 feet. and
lots OF open everfiowing springs"

CHAPTER XIV.

Zeney, who had little liking for the
Spanish beauty, now took herself Off
and the two girls soon went down
stairs together, TO see the Count de
Cazeneau, whom, feeble and emaciat'
ed, they found lying back among the
pillows OF his chair.
On the floor, near the counts chair,
were two sacks, which both girls saw
were the counterparts of those
same morning, and an old negro-one
who seemed trusted in his master S
affairs-was on his knees, having just
finished tying the mouth of one OF
them.
His master then, as Lazalie and
Rose entered the room, making a
motion for him to desist, he had sub
sided to the floor, apparently waiting
for the call to be ended, and Made
moiselle de Cazeneau felt that her
grandfather was DESTROYS that his Wis
itors should leave him.
This they did, and were half way
across the first field, when Lazalie
put an arm about the shoulder of the
slight figure beside her.
Little Rose, when I found you
saw you had been crying, and I've
been wondering about it ever since.
Will you not tell me what has been
troubling you?"
Rose, lifting pair OF earnest eyes
10 the dark, brilliant face, asked,
Tell me, Lazalie, have you known
Capt. Jean iong?"
Lazalie came to halt and her lids
narrowed as they dropped over her
sparkling eyes, from which all laugh
ter was gone.

fact, ''he told me, when he brought

you from the Choctaws?" asked La
zalie, now surprised in turn.
Mademoiselle de Cazeneau nodded,

Just as dinner was over a mud

before the outer door, the former

The governor had written him that,

urged to be present.

TWO MEN At ONE SPADE.
Method Of East Indian Coolies Divides

At hill stations In the Himalayas,
India, coolies are employed unceas-
ingly in the care of the snake-like
reads which wind round and round
the sides of the hills. Their method
OF working provides a novelty to one
accustomed to the methods Of labor
ers at home. When digging, two
men work at one spade, rope being
attached to the lower end Of the
wooden shaft. and pulled by one
ccolie to assist the other in lifting
after the latter has filled the spade.
The work is done very rapidly, so

ployment of two men at one spade;

THE WOES OF A WIFE
Recited in Mrs. Linnie H. Miller's Pc.
 tition for Divorce.


 A suit for divorce was filed in dis trict court yesterday by Linnie Hast ings Miller against William s. Miller, alleging cruelty of the most revolting character. The MillerS were married at Enid, Okla, in 1894. The complaint does not go back beyond 1901 when if appears that the cruelty of the defend ant began and took a wide variety of forms. While they were living in Colo rado the plaintiff says that the defend ant beat her once so that it was neces- sary to call in a doctor. This was only one of the many beatings. The plain tiff also called the defendant names which a woman could not hear and preserve her dignity.
 These attacks were usually made while the defendant was in a state of intoxication but that was a sort of nor mai state so that the plaintiff was sub : jected to frequent indignities.
 Once when they were living in Bisbee Miller drew a revolver on the plaintiff and threatened to kill her. This was the limit. Still the plaintiff probably would not have left her husband but for the advice of disinterested friends who told the plaintiff that if she had the welfare of her husband at heart she would leave him; otherwise he would ultimately become a defendant in a case of wife murder. This was in 1904. Miller is not a resident within the jurisdiction of this court.
