From Clyde Fitch's scrapbook.

CLYDE Fitch, at q dinner that he
gave in honor of noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books western criticism on Hamlet.
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There is too much chinning In this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tons and detectives. 4p "4
"In the hands of a skillful play
wright detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides. ..-. ..rl
THE moral Of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is bad example to the rising
generation.
Our advice to the author Is moro
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and rat

stllr Better Outfit Seven Miles West of Moraen.

lem Of transportation very prominent
ly to the front, and there is railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia,
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 q miles of railway in
operation in that country and
conservative calculation of the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; a large portion Of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of con-
Siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that in very few years the agricul-
tural wealth Of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in
stead Of "A Hundred Million Bushel
Crop" 1t will not be out of place to
refer to the crop as O,O00,000 bush
els of wheat for export" This may
look like drawing the long bow at the
present time, but, in the light of what
has been done by Western Canada
in the past five or ten years, there
is no limit that can be placed upon
what may be done in the five or ten
years Immediately in front Of that
lusty young giant Of the West.

Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
NJ Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make range Of from
S7,0O0,00O to 115,0O0,OOO bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these tigures-prob.
ably not far from 90,00000O bushels.
This year a larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase Of from Is
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100000
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx Of settlers was responsible
to considerable extent for much Of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, Is also responsible for a
mart of the decreased average yield
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
d very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the plow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead of de-.
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso
diation is the lowest. Wheat, S7203,-
900 bushels; oats, 75,725,GOO bushels,
and barley, 16,9SO,6OO bushels. The

In the last week of August tour
of inspection was made along the line
of railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association
and number of American grain ex.
perts. What they saw convinced
them that not only was the crop a
good average one, but the quality OF
the grain grown was admittedly Of
the best quality, and more than one

for by some enthusiastic western peo-
pie, who maintained that increased
acreage necessarily meant an in
creased aggregate. Still, 90,O00,O0O

as a good crop, and we do not think
Western Canada has much cause to
feel down in the mouth because the
acme OF its anticipations ON the wheat
crop may not have been realized.
Taking one year with another, that
country has demonstrated that it can
be depended upon as great wheat
growing territory, and has to. be reck-
oned with in the markets of the
world.
The yield in oats has been in
creased this year by nearly 100000
bushels, the aggregate estimate being
T5,725. 800, with the average at ALI
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop of barley is placed at l6,9SO,6OO
bushels, which is slight increase
over the total Of last year. OF fax the
estimate given Is 69O.1S4 bushels,
which is material increase upon last
years figures.

This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725,60O,
and barley at 16,9S0,6OO 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 wholc
country was confined 10 Manitoba,
and consisted Of 100000 bushels of
wheat, on an acreage of 1900 and
1,270,2GS 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 2O,000,000 bushels Of
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 70,O0O,OOO
bushels for export, which at 10 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $4,000, 600.
The barley and cats exported are
good for an additional $25,OOO0 900, and
