SAVED BY SILENCE.
incident of Western Frontier Cam
palgnins Among the Indians.

Two soldiers who belonged to body
of troops crossing the western plain
in 1852, started out to capture a buff
falo. A herd had been seen about a
mile distant, their horses were in
good condition, and, says the author
of Five Years Dragoon," they had
every reason to anticipate good sport.
They approached the herd at a
walk, and were within easy pistol-shot
before the buffalo saw them. Then
one of them, named Peel, went to the
west, the other to the east. Peers
companion had dropped his first buff
falo when the voice of Peel rang out:
Get on your horse!"
No time was lost, for looking east.
he pointed to so or more Indians in
half-circle half mile away, their
left wing so far advanced that re.
treat to camp was cut off,
Consultation was brief. Peel led
the way down the hill and circled
round a thicket, carefully selecting
the firm buffalo grass sod so as to
leave no trail, and drew into cover no.
20 yards from where some of tho
Indians were sure to come down.
There they sat on their horses, pis-
tolls in hand. They had no future
plans; they might have to fight death
under that bluff; they would do what
ever circumstances seemed to die
tate.
They had not long to wait. The In
dians came rafting down the rock
trails leading into the bottom, send
ing out their blood-curdling war.
whoop at every jump They seemed
to think that the fleeing men would
try to escape toward camp, and be
enyeloped in the circle; did not think
that they would do anything but run
for their lives, which would be sure
death. One brawny brave drew rein
at the foot of the trail where the
men had come down, raised himself
in the stirrups, and looked sharply
toward them. Peels companion. be-
lieving they were discovered, raised
his pistol to shoot; but Peel quietly
reached over, and placing his hand on
his comrades arm, gently pressed 1t
down.
In moment the Indian was off to
the west, showing by his actions that
he had not seen them.
The way now seemed clear, and
they quietly walked their horses up
where they had gone down a few mo-
ments before, turned south, and gent
ly trotted back to camp. No fresh
meat cheered the camp that night, but
they had new adventure to talk
over.

SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA,
The Prospects for Large Acreage to
Be Sown In Wheat.

st. Paul, Ap'u "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, Saskatch.

The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in Splendid
shape 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.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy un-
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day In order to get on
their farms and become active agen-
cies in the effort to make the year
1857 the banner year in grain produc-
Ing in Western Canada. AS compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, it will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
tions for the present year. 1t is safe
to say that farmers who get in their
crop before the Goth or gath of May,
will receive magnificent returns.

who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
in crop of oats and barley and prob
ably some flax. This, together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding oper-
ations are not confined to one district,
but are spread over q country 900
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers. Low rail-
way rates, information and literature
are given on application to the agent,
