Bleeding COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA
|The Prospects for Large Acreage to
Be Sown in Wheat.

st. Paul, April "a, 1907.-Word has
been received at the Office OF the
Canadian Government in ST. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatcn-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shane for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather OF the past
few days has taken much OF the frost
out of the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be district
IN which the seeder is not being oper-
ated. The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things In shape
There will be very large acreage
sown in spring wheat, oats and barley.

provinces the newcomers are BUSY I'M

) years he was unable TO find home
and has been buffeted about from one

A NEWSPAPER LESSON.

Now that the Bulletin and News
have consolidated, Anderson has two
newspapers, an evening publication
and morning issue. Some years
ago, in this state and elsewhere, there
was a boom in the newspaper business.
The result was an over-supply of jour-
nails. In smaller, growing towns, es-
pecially, there was a tendency to
crowd the field. AS a result, little or
no money was to be made by any COM
peting paper. The Spanish-American
these papers. Competition was fierce
They exerted themselves unduly in
keeping a fast pace. They called it
progressiveness. They proposed to
keep up with the times, and to give
their patrons the best in the market,
no matter what the cost. The thing
was overdone. Many newspapers as
sumed burdens and expenses during
the war that they were not able to
drop afterwards. Competition, false
pride and an effort to put on a metro
politan front, continued to sap the vi
tally of papers in several limited
fields. Common sense is taking hold
in various cities. The days of boom
growth are over, and the newspapers
are fitting into their places on basis
of profit and business judgment. Rich
have learned the lesson. Experience
has taught that two papers are suffi-
cient in a city of $4,000 people

able to make himself understood, in

needs no brains and less education to
do the work. If the operator is not
