CROPS IN ALBERTA.
tx-North Dakotan Tells of Snow Over Foot
Deep Covering Uncut Crop.

Every day, almost, reports a1e being
received here of crop failures and dis
appointments in Alberta, Canada. The
situation is SO bad that the term Sunny
Southern Alberta" is regarded as joke
The term was applied to the country by
the oily tongued land agents, who evi.
IDENTIFY concluded that the country need
ed something poetical about it, and as
nature failed to supply it, adopted
Title which would lead one to believe
that the country was the fairest in all
creation But those who have been in the
country for few years have found out
differently. In last weeks issue of the
Devils Lake Journal the following state
ment of interest to many is found:
"W.F. Hallenberg, of Nanton, Alberta,
and former resident of this county,
was here looking after his interests. He
still owns large tract of land in Dry
Lake township, and came! here to see
how the threshing was coming along.
During the course of his visit he told his
friends that he will not get crop in
Alberta this year. He said that the
prospects were excellent up to about
three weeks ago, when heavy snow
storm came. Snow started to fall in the
afternoon one day at just the time the
wheat was ready to cut and continued
until the next day. When it stopped
showing there was more than foot of
snow on the ground The grain was
beaten down to the earth and covered
with the snow and was total loss.
There was scarcely week this summer
that there was not light fost in Alberta
and the conditions we're very discourag-
ing to the farmers. Many of those who
went to the northwest in the spring and
put in large crops are financially en-
barrassed, as they have lost this years
crop, which represented everything they
| had 1t cost each farmer from several
hundred to several thousand dollars to
put in the crop and as the seed will not
even be gotten back, it has in many cases
ruined the farmer, unless he had good
bank account to draw from. The sad
experience of those who have been
in Alberta for several years past will
probably put damper on the immigra-
ton there. There is lots ol good landin
this state, and why farmer should sell
out here anl go to Canada to farm is
more than one is able to understand.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1907-10-03

The following is extracted from let
ter written by Mrs. Wallace Askey, of
Pincher Creek. in "sunny southern
Alberta" Sept. IL, 1907, to her mother,
Mrs e. Green, of st. Vincent, Mimi:
"We have had our September snow
storm and it is the worst / have seen in
September. 1t began with heavy
thun6ar storm after raining all day, it
has been showing for Is hours now,
great thick flakes. All around US tn Q
trees are broken down with the weight
of the snow, and it is foot and a half
deep. Wallace thinks the crops will be
complete failure, as they were just
ready to cut, and now they are flat on
the ground with the weight of the snow
on them. st Vincent New Era,

Fatal Attempt This Afternoon to
Stop a Runaway Team Near
the Post Office
WHEELS CRUSH SKULL.
Edward HummeI Lost His Life While
Trying to Stop Team Frightened
By Automobile Died Within a
Few Minutes Where He FeII-But
Never Knew What Struck Him.

Edward Hummel was knocked down
and killed this afternoon at about
quarter to two o'clock while attempting
to stop the runaway team of Jack
Deneen, which took fright at passing
automobile. The tragedy was enacted
in front of the post office, at which point
Hummel after being dragged some
little distance stumbled and fell, losing
his hold of the halter which he had
grasped when attempting to stop the
team. The team cleared Hummel as
they dashed by, but the wheels of the
wagon, heavy grain tank, passed over
his head and neck. Within less than
ten minutes he breathed his last lying
where he had fallen in the street with
out recovering consciousness. A frac-
ture of the skull was the immediate
cause of DEATH and left the victims
brain exposed to the crowd that gather
ed where he lay anconsciously dying,
the ground soaked with his ]lfe's blood
Hummel was in the city bakery of Ed.
Brown and ran out to see the runaway
team as it came up street, and seeing
what he thought favorable chance to
stop them got out INTO the street. He
caught the near horse by the halter with
the fatal consequence as stated above.
Since threshing started this fall he has
been working on the threshing machine
of his uncle, Fred w. Poppe, a we'll
known farmer in the northern part of
| Harvey township. Edward Hummel
was about twenty six years old and had
this fall resigned position as railway
mail clerk to come here to work with his
uncle Mr.. Poppe during the threshing
season. Both his parents are dead but
there are several brothers and sisters
left to mourn, one younger brother is
here In Langdon attending school and a
sister, Miss Grace Hummel, makes her
home with the Poppes on the farm. The
remains we're taken to the undertaking
rooms of Price e. johnson from the scene
of the accident to be prepared for
| burial.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TOMORROW MIGHT
Will Hold Its First
Meeting In New
Quarters

Secretary Paris sent out notices
today for the first meeting of the
Commercial Club Of Honolulu to be
held in its new quarters Saturday
evening at o'clock.
The first assembly of the club
members will be informal on account
of some of the club dining-room equip
ment not having arrived on time.
There will be nothing lacking, how
ever, in the way Of dining-room ne
cessities and a pleasant evening, for
it is always possible to obtain mate
,ial in the Honolulu market.
A meeting will probably be held at
which the Governors will report on
the progress they have made and
ruch remarks made by the members
as the occasion may suggest. A
lunch will be served and the evening
spent in getting acquainted with the
new home.
The Club will begin the service Of
lunches on Monday noon, as the de-
lay of the club crockery has not in
terfered with the plans of the House
Committee on this score. The furni-
ture of the club-room has been COM
pleted by Hopp & Co. 1t is of beau
tiful koa and easily makes the most
attractive furnishing to be found in
Honolulu.
Club members are specially re-
quested by the Secretary to be pres
ent in force on the first night. Later
an evening for the entertainment Of
the public will be set and the Club
will formally receive it's friends.
