This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725 900,
and barley at 16,9s0,600 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, If not absolutely
satisfying. TO better appreciate this
fact, all that Is necessary to do is to
go back 25 years in the history Of
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product Of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted OF 100000 bushels Of
wheat, on an acreage OF $1,000 and
1,270,26S bushels of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 100000 bushels Of
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 100000
bushels for export, which at 20 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $4,000, 900.
The barley and oats exported are
good for an additional $25,O00,000, and

peace possessing him, he awaited a
seemly hour to present himself to
learn his fate.
Only the family was present when
he arrived. The effusion of their greet

but the girl who. standing in circle

The coming year is generally looked
upon by citizens of Pratt City as one
of great promise
1t is expected that Il greater amount
of building and improvement will be
eonsummated IN the year 1907 than for
many years past. Already several new
structures are under way and several
more are being planned. one of the latest
additions is the large two-story brick
that is being erected ON Fourth street
by Pete Perolio.
This section Of the town is expected to
eclipse all others in growth, and it is
believed by the conservative citizens that
il will eventually become the business
center of the town. Besides the Perolio
building it is said that modern build
ings will be erected by the Contrupus
brothers, by II. G. helms, and IA large
and handsome building and a lodge lone
by the Odd Fellows. lodge No. 50. Pratt

activity of the town is of very flatteriug
