ly to the front, and there is a railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia,
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 miles of railway in
operation in that country, and
conservative calculation of the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; large portion of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of a con-
siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that in very few years the agricul-
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in
stead of "a Hundred Million Bushel
Crop" 1t will not be out of place to
refer to the crop as 100000 900 BUSH
els of wheat for export" This may
look like drawing the long bow at the
present time, but, in the light of what
has been done by Western Canada
in the past five or ten years, there
is no limit that can be placed upon
what may be done in the five or ten
years Immediately in front of that
lusty young giant of the West.

Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make a range of from
100000 to 115,000,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 90,000,O00 bushels.
This year a larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from IS
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 1O0, 000,-
600 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to a considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, Is also responsible for a
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions Of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
a very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the plow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead of de-
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that Of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso-
citation is the lowest: Wheat, $780,
600 bushels; oats, 75,725,6 600 bushels,
and barley, 16,9S0,600 bushels. The
Winnipeg Free Press sent out five
special correspondents, who returned

the combined amounts, together with
that received from dairying and 9TH
er sources, are bound to make finan-
cial conditions very easy in, the Cana
dian West until the next harvest ma
lures.
In the last week of August a tour
of inspection was made along the line
of railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association
perts. What they saw convinced
them that not only was the crop
good average one, but the quality of
the grain grown was admittedly of
the best quality, and more than one
of the visitors stated that although
the yield might have been larger, the
quality could hardly have been i'm
proved. Speaking on this point, Mr..
J. F. Whalley, the well-known wheat
man of Minneapolis, said:

The baron stepped forth from his

out.

On the farther side of his closed
door Baron Ronault de Palliac swore-
once. But the oath was one of the
most awful that a Frenchman may
utter in his native tongue: Sacred

protested Mrs. Bines.
"Ah, yes, madame!" replied
Philippe. Monsieur lie Baron has
consumed enough for now. Paul, mon
enfant, ne touche pas la robe de
madame! He is large, is he not,
madame, as l have told you? A
monster, yes"
Mrs. Bines, STOPPING, took the limp
and wide-eyed Paul in her arms.
Whereupon he began to talk so fast
to her in French that she set him quick
ly down again, with the slightly help
less air of one who had picked up an
innocent-looking clock only to have
the changing alarm go suddenly off.
Madame will honor our little sa-
lon," urged Philippe, opening the door
and bowling low.
"Quel dommage!" sighed Celine,
moving after them; ia seuel chemise

for by some enthusiastic western peo-
pie, who maintained that increased

Western Canada has much cause to
feel down in the mouth because the
acme Of its anticipations on the wheat
crop may not have been realized.
Taking one year with another, that
country has demonstrated that it can
be depended upon as a great wheat
growing territory, and has to be reck'
oned with in the markets of the
world.
The yield in oats has been in.
creased this year by nearly 100000
bushels, the aggregate estimate being
1915 900, with the average at Az
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop of barley is placed at 16,9SO,60O
bushels, which is slight increase
over the total of last year. OF fax the
estimate given is 690,1S4 bushels,
which is a material increase upon last
years figures.

for wheat, oats, and barley in West

CHAPTER XIV.
THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN IS
PLANNED.

L
Winter waned and spring charmed
the land into blossom. The city-pent,
as we have intimated, must take this
season largely on faith. If one can
find a patch Of ground naked of stone
or asphalt one may feel the heart of
the earth beat. But even now the
shop windows are more inspiring. At
least they copy the outer show. Ten
der-hued shirt-waists first push up
their sprouts of arms through the win
ter furs and woolens, quite as the first
violets out in the woodland thrust
themselves up through the brown car
pet of leaves. Then every window be-
comes a summary glade of lawn, tulle
and chiffon, more lavish of tints,
shades and combinations, indeed, than
ever nature dared to be.
Outside, where the unspoiled earth
begins, the blossoms are clouding the
trees with a mist Of pink and white,
and the city dweller knows it from the
bloom and foliage Of these same win
dows.
Then it is that the spring get away
urge is felt By each prisoner, by those
able to obey it, and by those, alike,
who must wear it down in the groomed
and sophisticated wildness Of the city
parks.

France is reviving some of her hand
made lace industries with much sue

provided for girls being instructed in
making handmade laces in the schools
and for more advanced courses In the
chief lace centers, and the results are
now showing themselves; $4,000 are
said to be engaged in lace-making, but
this is nothing compared to the num-
