FALL WHEAT RAISING IN AL
BERTA.
/ The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.

The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.
1t is only few short years since
the impression prevailed that large
portion of the Canadian West was
untitled for agriculture. To such an
extent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European princi-
palities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and flocks and herds
roamed the ranges. But the agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradully experiments were
made, slowly at first but surely later
on. AS a result, to-day in Southern
Alberta, which was looked upon as
the 'arid belt" large quantities of the
finest wheat in the world are now
grown, and so satisfied are the farm
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed in the past two years and others
are in course of erection, to satisfy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.
Manitoba mo. 1 Hard spring
wheat has achieved worldwide rep
utation, and there can be no question
that ere long "No. 1 Hard" winter
wheat from Alberta will attain SINH
lar repute. The great market for this
production will undoubtedly be ths
Orient. and, with increased railway
facilities and the erection of addition
al elevators and fiodring mills, a large
ly increased acreage will be broken
to winter wheat. The increase of pop
ulation in Southern Alberta in the past
year has been largely due to settlers
from the United States, who have
brought in capital. and enterprise, and
who have been uniformly successful
in their undertakings. A few moro
such years of growth and Turkey
Red winter wheat will wave tom
Moose Jaw to the foothills. Informa-
ton regarding lands OF the FAN ana
Spring wheat belts can be obtained OF
any Canadian Government agent.

Nellie Tells How Baby Came.

There's no use of your talking, for
mamma told me so,
And if there's any one that does, my
mamma ought to know;
For she has been to Europe, and seen
the Pope of Rome,
Though she says that was before l came
to live with her at home.
You see, we had no baby, unless you
call me one,
And | have grown so big you know,
'twould have to be in fun.
When l went to see grandma, about
two weeks ago,
And now we've one, little one, that
squirms and wriggles so.
And mamma says an angel came down
from heaven above,
And brought this baby to her, for she
and me to love;
And its got the cunningest of feet, as
little as can be,
And smiling eyes, and curly hair, and
hands you scarce can see.
And then it never cries a bit, like some
bad babies do;
And papa says it looks like me- don't
think SO, do you?
For I'm girl, and it's boy, and boys
| can't endure,
Unless they're babies like our own,
they'll plague and tease you sure.
But you say the angel didn't come, now
you just tell me why;
he. L. - p r..
and that's the sky;
And Christ loves little babies, and God
makes everything,
And if the angel didn't who did our
baby bring?
You can't tell; no guess you can't, but
mamma ought TO know,
For it's her baby, hers and ours, and
mamma told me so;
And they don't make any cunning things
like him on earth. you see;
For no wax doll, with real hair, is half
so nice as he.
l know an angel brought him, and I
think one brought me, too.
Though don't just now remember, and
so can't tell, can you?
But mamma knows, and this know, the
baby wasn't home
When l went away, and now he is; If
you want to see him, come.
For mamma says IL / am good I can
kiss him every day,
And we'll kiss him now, and then 60
out and have nice long play;
n nd h. Il
come and so,
Why, tell them it's the angels, for
mamma told me so.

Hand-Pres.ed OIL of Lemon.

'This oil of lemon said the spice
merchant, sis an exquisite thing. 1t is
hand-pressed-pressed by hand out Of
lemon rind. Smell it,"
The odor of the clear oil suggested
suniit lemon groves miles in extent on
a mountainside overlooking the blue
sea.
"I'll tell you how the oil Of lemon is
extracted" he said "A man sits with
a sponge in one hand and a piece Of
fresh lemon peel in the other He
presses the peel against the sponge,
giving it finally certain difficult and
dexterous twist, and thik breaks the
cells in the rind, and the oil-there's
only a half drop of it-comes reluc-
family out upon the sponge.
when the sponge has taken up the
dribblings Of about hundred rinds, it
is wet enough to be squeezed out. An
ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil
them flows from 1t.
There Is no way to extract this oil
within a lemon rind except by squeez-
ing and twisting the rind by hand 1t
takes the rinds or abont 200 lemons
to make one pound Of oil'

Visitors Always Welcome.
No other industry in the world gives
such a cordial welcome to visitors as
Swift & Co. We keep open house the
year around, and maintain a corps of
specially trained guides, with special
elevators and rest rooms. In one year
we have entertained over a quarter of
million of men and women; in one
day-Grand Army Day, 1901--we en-
tertained $4,000. Among our visitors
have been ambassadors from foreign
governments, princes, noblemen and
distinguished citizens from all lands
and eminent folks from every State in
the Union. We wish to familiarize the
public with our methods, and the best
way to do that is to let the public see
for itself. We have no secret process

The industry is operated on a mar
gin Of less than cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
Mt wholesale to many thousands OF
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation Of meats is simple in the
extreme, local Strengthening will long
remain a factor in the production Of
fresh meats and provisions.

Swift & Company

Louis, st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods Of purchas-
Ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail ct
all cities. At Chicago, which is the
largest market there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers, representing
packers, local slaughterers in various
cities, and exporters. OF this number,
less than score are employed by
Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the commits
sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as
his judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at o'clock each day, and
the buyer must pay spot cash. If the
c, mmission man has no satisfactory
offers, he can hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client
| Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is a
giant refrigerator, but instead Of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang the
carcasses. Some of the houses cost as
much as hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. AS rule they are Of
pressed brick, the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling-with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are COW
cred daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred of these wholesale
houses in various cities of the United
States, and the public Is always well
come to visit them.

Wisconsin Central Will Add Eight OF
Ten Miles With Favor
able Weather.

That eight or ten miles of track will
be laid north of the city on the new
Wisconsin Central line is now practi-
cally settled.
The firm of Manning, Clark & Havi-
land have that portion of their con-
tract practically finished. The first
eight miles are completed with the ex-
of one fill which has been somewhat
of problem on account of the en-
bankment sinking, but which now ap-
pears to have reached a stable cond;-
tlon.
The balance of the distance to the
Chippewa river has considerable work
yet to be done. With good weather
from now on it is probable that this
will be accomplished and permit the
laying of rails to the Chippewa river.
This firm has the balance of it's
twenty-five mile contract well in hand
and will doubtless have it finished as
soon as work farther up the line is
ready.

LAUNDRY GOES AWAY

C. w. Larsen Moves to Rhinelander for
the Future.
SC. w. Larsen, who has conducted a
steam laundry in Ladysmith for the past
summer is about to move to Rhinelander.
Mr.. Larsen came here with a power
outfit which he bought from laundry
concern but which failed to perform the
functions required and had much difficult
ty in getting started-the trouble being
in turning out good work.
The initial difficulty followed the in
stitution all summer and fall and under
reduced patronage Mr.. Larden decided
to move.
1t is to be regretted that the laundry
did not prove permanent fixture here
as it should have been. Our people
should let no institution get away for
lack of interest and patronage.

why WAS HE ARRESTED?
A Young Man Brought Up and
Released.

A young man in Rusk county was walk
ing along the road with a gun. A
bird dog was following. He met a
couple game wardens who asked if he
had license and the young man said
that he had not.
Shortly afterward an officer was sent
to bring him into court where the young
man explained that he was returning
a gun that had oeen borrowed and was
not hunting. He was released.
Now where is the logic of the coun-
ty paying the cost of such frivolous
conduct upon the part of the game
wardens? Why arrest people who, as
far as the evidence is concerned, are
acting within their, legal rights?
1t is not pleasant to be hauled into
court and it is expensive all round.
We do not name the defendant for the
reason that he has been offended
enough already.

Osceola Paper Discusses the John
Dietz Case at Cameron Dam With
out Any Apparent Bias.

The Osceola Sun, which, under its
later management at least, has never
been given to sensation or erratic ten
dency, has taken up the Dietz case in
an announced endeavor to do ample
justice to the case.
The Sun finds, as all other papers
that have visited Dietz have found,
that Dietz is an oppressed and tor
mented man. He is reported as an in
dustrious man, always improving his
farm and looking and hoping for peace.
1t is the common experience of all
the newsl aper people that they have
been treated handsomely by the Dietz
people. Whether right or wrong in the
general features of his contest with
the logging concern, he at all times
maintains the attitude of gentleman.
Commenting on the Suns writeup,
the Cumberland Advocate, under the
editorial control of Judge Comstock re-
marks:
The last issue of the Osceola Sun
contains very complete and we'll
written account of the struggle John
F. Dietz has made to maintain, what
he believes to be his rights, as an Am
erican citizen. Much has been said and
written of Dietz the outlaw, and it is
refreshing to find paper, of the stand
ing of the Sun, interesting itself in the
purely human side of the matter.
While the Advocate does not profess
to say that the course pursued by John
Dietz has always been well advised, it
does believe that in refusing to sur
render to the various posses" that
have attempted his arrest, he has act
ed strictly within his constitutional
rights.
1t may be explained as coincidence,
but if so it is surely strange one,
that no attempt has ever been made
to capture Dietz, except when there
was driving stage of water on Thorn
apple.
John Dietz is not an outlaw. He is a
sturdy, self reliant, determined man,
who cannot be intimidated. We trust
the district attorney of Sawyer county,
to be elected this fall, will have the
courage to promptly dismiss the worse
than farcial criminal proceedings now
pending against him.

REED TO Be SHERIFF
Carries the Election over Putnam by
% Majority as Independent
Candidate

After January 1st it will be Sheriff
Reed. The News believes that this is
as it ought to be. The people of .Rusk
county seem to think so too.
Mr.. Reed was at disadvantage as
an independent candidate, losing all the
votes that went in straight either from
lack of interest or partisan feeling.
This means great deal. Under equal
chances his majority would have been
much larger.
1t is enough however and shows that
the people ofRusk county are awake to
the local situation. 1t is a suggestion
for the future.
The News was the only paper sup
porting Mr.. Reed. Whatever benefit
this support was, it was cheerfully
given as a duty to it's readers. The
election of Mr.. Reed shows that the
machine has gone to pieces and that in
the future the people will select their
officers.
T. M. Thomas carried the county by
$40 majority.
Davidson carried che state by 70, 600.
McGovern carries Milwaukee by 169.
Babcock is defeated.
