putting end to the long years of misunder-

TUE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
viii Open Up Immense Area OF Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities OF Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area nut under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facli-
tiles that have been placed at the ols-
bosal of the public, the question OK
TRANSPORTATION has proved to be a So
rious one.
It will, therefore, be good news 10
everyone interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by Z.
M. Hays, president OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail-
way will do it's share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has lust completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in praf-
RE schooner, a distance of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers In
the Canadian West, eyfr IL Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound N a time limit
with the exactitude Of a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in position to take part in the trans
portation Of the crop Of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar
nered.
The wheat crop of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels.
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put un-
der crop next year, it is safely calcu-
lated that fully 1875, 100000 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are, therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers OF the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up Of additional thousands OF
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where.

ScALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-Suf-
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

when I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. / scratched them with

the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
Itching that, until l became accus-
toned to it, would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After 1 suffered about
ten years / made renewed effort tt
effect cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. / then used to
battle the sores in a mixture which

dition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS

one or two boxes o. bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
