THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will 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 10 the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway faciI-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
1t viii, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by c.
RI. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail
way will do its share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in a prai-
rie 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, even if Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to 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 90,0OO,OO0 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 125. 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.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
Il am SO years old and have had con-
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. As
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the. first. The rheumatism
that 1 used to suffer from has left me.
1 sleep sounder, my nerves are stead
Ter and my brain clearer. And I bear
testimony also to the food value Of

Newspapers for the Blind.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue weekly
edition for the blind, draws attention
to the other British journals published
in Braille type, which have had a long
and useful career, though they have
seldom been seen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the blind was published on June 1,
1892. and called the Weekly Summary
1t has always been issued below cost
