THE CALL OF THE

The Greatest Wheat Crop OF the
Continent.

The yaar that has just closed has
done great deal towards showing tne
possibilities of Western Canada from

too sanguine an estimate only short
time ago and the area that has been

mate next year. Aud while the spring
and winter wheat have been doing SO
well during the past few years, the other
cereals have been keeping up with the
procession. Rye and barley have made
immense strides. and peas and fax have
been moving steadily along. Dairying,
also. has been successfully carried on
in the new provinces. and in every stage
the farmer has been striking il rich. =
To such an extent has the success Of
the West taken hold Of outsiders that

whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-

decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups Of coffee for breakfast, two at

the records OF the specialists OF this

caused by the use Of coffee.

SAD AFFLICTION TO GAL
LIANT MAN.

We regret to learn that our genial
and gallant friend, Capt. Sam ID.
Brown. of the Louisville postoilice
Gormer Secretary Of the State Rail
road Commission), has met with II
great misfortune.
1t seems that Capt. Brown was
twice badly wounded, during the
civil war, once in the leg and once
in the head. For some time these
wounds have given him great
trouble, and this week they resulted
in his mind giving away and he
has been sent to "a sanitarium.
Capt. Brown was brave and
gallant soldier, and "a gentleman of
the old school, genial and true.
His friends here, where he lived
while Secretary to the Railroad
Commission, deeply sympathize
with Capt. Brown and his family,
and hope for his speedy restoration.
