Great RanchInE Region.

In addition to the farming possibilities Of
the Peace river region, 1t is said that parts
of IT will support vast numbers Of live
stock. The natural grass grows from two
to FIVE feet I'm height, and the cattle and
horse ranchers who are now being crowded
out OF Alberta are planning to send their
herds to Grande Prairie and Peace river.
The cattle will be able to run out all win
ter and they can feed out of doors all the
year round. II this is so, the region will
be Of great value to the new Canada. The
lower part of this state OF Alberta and a
part OF Saskatchewan which, owing TO the
slight rainfall, have been used for ranch
ing, are now found to produce winter wheat
and the ranohing business may be driven
out by grain farming. There are In Mani
toba and the northwest almost a million
cattle, a quarter OF a million horses and
more than that number of sheep and hogs.
The Peace river county with its grain and
grass, would seem to be a good stock
raising proposition, and the time may come
when the most and best cattle of this
country will be raised there,
As for Alberta, It is now going into mixed
farming, and its cattle eventually will be
kept on the farms instead OF on great
ranges. A large number of diaries have
been established and butter and cheese is
now produced away out here in the north
west. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

The ideal base ball weather which made

been the one thing needed to properly
arouse the ball players at Creighton. The

it began to show accurate steady team
work. The game with Bellevue last Sat

high estate when It met Princeton. The
Orange and Black fourished for a time
and then went down In defeat before
Brown at Providence. The Yale team, on
the other hand, started so poorly as to
occasion much concern at New Haven, but
Its showing in the last four games entities
the blue to place of prominence for the
present at least. The Harvard combina-
ton, which has neither been ipdifferently
good nor indifferently bad. remains the
same. Its defeat by Dartmouth, to 1,
was not a great surprise. Nor would It
have been great surprise had the crimson

Harvard's chances for the intercollegiate
championship banner this year are very
poor The most remarkable development
OF the last two weeks is the way Yale
nine has picked up. Apparently the Leo
ture the men got from the captain and
coach after the southern trip has borne
fruit. In the very first game after re-
turning to New Haven from the south the
blue defeated Fordham, IL TO 8. This It
followed up with q conquest over Man
haitian. II to o, and over Columbia, 10 to 5.
The fact that Yale was defeated by Penn
sylvania and then triumphed over the
white and blue after the local university
had defeated the Quakers is good evidence
OF the brace the New Haven team has
taken. The murmurings that tho blue is
not living up to the expectations Of many
and that II will not win championship
honors again this year are lulled now.

Yes. We have TO advance OUTFITS and

It will be long before the supply gives out.
Mr.. 5ecord tells me that furs are largely
affected by fashion, and also by the supply.
In some years the Indians bring in many
more OF certain kinds Of furs than in other
years, and strange to say, the supply of
some species rises and falls with the rabbit
crop. Some varieties of the fur bearing
animals live largely on rabbits, which
breed so rapidly that the animals cannot
keep them down. At intervals Of every
four or FIVE years a disease breaks out
which kills the rabbits off by the thousands
and following such years come the lean fur
years.
