WINNIPEG, Man., March 10. -
Here as well as in other parts of
Manitoba there is great activity, in
anticipation of the great influx of
immigrants and the large amount
of business expected this year. The
report of the Manitoba department
of agriculture, issued just now,
shows that the season of 1905 was
the most prosperous in the history
of this province. The total grain
crop was 100000 bushels, of
which over $4,000, 900 were wheat.
Already over 100000 acres have
been prepared for crop next season.
The influx of immigration last
year was great and promises to be
even greater this year. Many Am
orleans are settling in Manitoba, as
well as in Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, the two larger provinces west
of Manitoba.

came from Baltimore and his idea
of the west was a sparsely settled
country, overrun by bands of scalp

season and the team was known
as the Cowboys. On the train to

Mayme Ballton of this city, fair
white girl. Miss Ballton is lead

Ed Rogers was one of the great

Rogers is Chippewa Indian, a
graduate of the Carlisle Indian
school and of the law department
of the University of Minnesota.
1t was while watching Rogers
play in the Minnesota Michigan

became imbued with admiration fo1
the great Indian player. His pluck
and skill completely captured the
young girl.
