be American Illustrated Magazine.

From the American Illustrated Magazine.
Franklin was particular about the way Of
doing that business. He was particular
about the way in which he made his money.
He was not of that too familiar type of big
business men who square extortion and
oppression by philanthropy. He took no
rebates. When he first started his news
paper in Philadelphia his rival was Brad
ford, who in addition to publishing a paper
was postmaster general of the colonies.
Bradford used his authority as postmas-
ter general to practically exclude Frank
Inns papers from the mail by forbiddins
the post riders to carry them. Franklin
shortly after succeeded Bradford as post
master general. Here was the opportunity
to build monopoly and crush his old rival.
But the thought never seems to have en-
tered his head that the newspaper pusi-
ness of the colonies belonged to him. he
says of Bradford in his attempt TO crush
Franklin's newspaper: Il thought so mean
ly of him for 1t that when l afterward
came into his situation l took care never
to initiate him.

CANADA's NEW BREAD BASKET

Copyright. 1906. by Frank G.. Carpenter.)
Special Correspondence Of The Star
EDMONTON, Alberta.
I am writing at Edmonton, 400 miles
north of the United States boundary. I
am on the frontier of the great wheat belt
which the Canadians are opening up, and
which promises to revolutionze the bread
markets of the world l have been travel
ing for three weeks through the grain
lands, and am now, in straight line, about
as far northwest of Winnipeg from New
York to Chicago Along that line there is
wheat all the way. Lower Manitoba pro-
duced more than 100000 bushels last
year, and something like lG0,G00,0G0 bushels
were harvested in Canada.
Canada's New Bread Basket.
The size of Canada's new bread basket is
hard to define. The area L have described
has been thoroughly prospected. Wheat is
actually raised in all parts of it, and L
hear stories of great wheat lands beyond.
Three hundred miles due north of Edmon-
ton on the Peace river, they are raising
big crops and -four mills are now grinding
away at Fort Vermillion. They receive
good prices on account of the high freight
rates which prevail throughout the wildS
of the northwest, and the farmers are get
ting a dollar and a half per bushel for their
grain Railroad engineers who have been
surveying the extensions of the Canadian
Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroads. which are to be built from here
across the Rockies, tell me that there Is
good land all the way from Edmonton to
the foot hills. a distance of several hun
dred miles: and that settlers have already
begun to penetrate that region.

ties, the wheat belt so far defined COM

Gus ground, and as they attempted to make
the second turn their hard hoofs flew from
under them on the slippery cement, and
down they went~fn heap few persons
present laughed at this, but all about the
Enclosure there was murmur of protest,
and many sharp criticisms of the manage
ment for failing to have tanbark on the
floor. After that the calves were driven at
walk, but even when walking they inn
pressed all present with their strength and
vigor.
The question asked most often. not only
that evening, but throughout the show, was
How old they?" and the answer,
Eight months was always received with
surprise and often with incredulity.
But what created most surprise. perhaps,
was the docility Of the little fellows. In
spite of their shaggy coats, wild eyes and
formidable-l looking horns, they were al
mos. If not quite as quiet as average do
nestle steers Spirited they Were of course,
but not vicious In the least degree. Many
ladies and more children patted their heads
and thrust their fingers ont OF SIGHT IN the

| they were harnessed and embarrassed by
| men who We're entire strangers to them but
| there was never any trouble.
A Notable Attraction.
After the first day or two the yoke was
| practically discarded, and the team APP
| peared twice day in double harness. And
| a handsome turnout they made In their
| silver-mounted brides, set off by the rich
| brown fur, and with the picturesque figure

drive them round the Enclosure. Prominent

Glad to See Their Trainer.
The next time 1 saw the buffalo team was
on the day before the opening of the show.
They were in pen in the basement of the
Mechanics building, and We're munching
hay with as little concern as though they
were on their own New Hampshire range.
L opened the door of the pen and called
the little fellows by name. Never before
had they shown the slightest affection for
me, but now they ran to me and shifted at
my clothing; they had been away from me
for three days and seemed really glad to
see me again. 1 petted them awhile, put
the yoke on them, hitched them up to the
the basement. Here had been made a.
| larger Enclosure, with stout rail fence
about it. and in this 1t was proposed that
the team should be driven twice a day
during the show.
/ expected that the youngsters not hav-
ing been hitched up for some time and be-
ing now surrounded by strange sights,
sounds and odors would naturally be a lit
kiEd; they trotted quietly around the in
closure, curiously cycling two Indian girls
who were watching them over the fence.
But the floor was or smooth cement, and
very slippery, and every now and then a
calf would go to its knees or launches as
1t tried to make turn.
Next day the show was opened and that
ev ening the shaggy sons of War Cloud and
Rain-in- the-Face made their bow to a
Boston assembly. At half past Z. the hour
set for their first appearance. there was a
rush for the basement and the crowd stood
several deep all around the larger inclos-
ure. 1t was decided to drive them in the
yoke on this occasion, and in a few minutes
they were ready to start. At the last mo-
ment the halters were thrown off. and a
big cheer went up from the crowd, as at
the word "hawn from VIII Morrison, their
driver. the bright-eyed little fellows swung
TO the left circled their pen, and entered

The enthusiasm of the spectators seemed

Big Wheat Crops.
How rich the soil is! 1t is as fat as the
valley of the Nile. In Manitoba, where the
land has been used over and over for wheat,
the crops are almost twice those of the
United States Our average falls lower,
and lower. 1t is now only about thirteen
bushels to the acre, while the average IN
Canada Is twenty bushels or more. Much
OF this new land produces thirty and forty
bushels and here about Edmonton the
farmers discuss fifty bushels as a possible
winter wheat yield. A good average on the
new lands well farIned would probably be
twenty-five bushels per acre, almost
twice what we are getting In the United
States.
While at Winnipeg 1 had chat with Mr..
