THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will Open Up immense Area of FREQ
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 End the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be Sc
rious one.
1t will, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by C.
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 a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed 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 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 100000 900 bushels,
and, with the increased acreage which
Is confidently expected to be put I'M
der crop next year. it is safely calcu-
lated that fully 125,00O000 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.

NeMspaners for the Blind.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue a weekly
edition for the blind, draws attention
to the other British journals published
in Braille type, which have had 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 l.,
1892, and called the Weekly Summary.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

when | was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs l scratched them with
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
| could scarcely walk. When | had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled by such severe
itching that, until | became accus-
toned to it, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After | suffered about
ten years | made a renewed effort to
effect a 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 q salve. | then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad-
dition | used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact 1
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and l was rapidly
becoming bald | used IS -,
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used Almost everything
else, l thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes l was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure OF at least
$50 or $50 in vainly ondeavoring to
lind q cure. / shall be glad to write
to any one who may De interested in
ny cure. b. Hiram Mattin2ly, Yer

that girls are seriously in search OF
learning.
Perhaps the girls are outstripping the
boys in the field of learning and are
bound in time to give tone to coed
school, The passion for education
among women is something fresh, al
most primitive. They work hard.
Study is not an old story in their
blood. Many OF the college boys have
one or two generations of college
blood in their veins, and it has been
noted that these students are not so
enthusiastic In study as the son whose
father works in shirt sleeves, the boy
often working for his own tuition.
Girls haven't the distractions that

Mountains.

There used to be held in accordance
with Murchison's well known geolog-
ical views the general theory that
mountains were mainly due to cracks
which took place in the surface of the
earth In remote periods, but this idea
Is no longer entertained by scientific
men. AS to the form of mountains,
that which is known MS table mountain
finds the best example, curlously
enough, at the Cape of Good Hope, a
mountain, it is believed, due not to
any action or phenomenon Of upheaval,
but to the sinking of the surrounding
districts or territory. Why these Pc
culiary defined areas did not sink was
owing, 1t is thought, to the probable
fact that the ground under them cooled
before the rest of the section, and thus
the table mountain had the earlier
foundation and has long retained its
place. There would always be denuda-
ton, however, though proportionate
with Its surroundings, and therefore,
owing to this fact of being higher at
the start, it still keeps to Its approx
mate elevation.
