Lumber and the Tariff.

The tariff in relation to lumber does
not illustrate the tariff evils represen-
tatively. Congressman Scott knows
that and practically admits it. He also
says he is in favor of the removal of
the tariff on the cost of lumber and
the added inducement 1t Offers for the
organization and maintenance of a
trust in the lumber business, anything
that would lead the timber cutters
into Canada and away from what is
left of American forests would be for
the general good in this country. AS
for Canadian duties following the re-
moval of American duties, it is peril
nent to recall the years of effort made
by Canada to secure a reciprocity
treaty with the United States with
especial reference to the needs and
the surplus of the respective countries,
and how fruitless this effort was. Can
ada Is no longer seeking reciprocity.
1t is employing a purely selfish tariff
wherever 1t finds it in the least ad-
vantageous-thus following the ex-
ample of the United States.

This Servant Girl Was Evidently a

day to a caller at a house on the West

The girl who responded to the bell
was asked if her mistress was at

the caller by putting her arms behind
her back and replying in a rich
brogue, as she thrust her face toward
the caller: Put tn tickets. in me

Articles Sold.

Des Moines, Observation-Disclosures.
Roebuck & Co. of Chicago have been
charged with using the mails to de-
fraud. The indictment is on three
counts. 1t is alleged that the COM
pany misrepresented articles in its
catalogues sent through the mails.
The first count charges that on June
10, 1907, the company devised a
scheme to obtain money by false pre-
lenses from DR.. c. F. Spring of Del
Moines by selling him white lead that
Sears-Roebuck claim to have made.
The indictment alleges it was made
by others. A second count is on a
ring bought by R. H. Miles, and
the third count is the sending of an
other ring, alleged to have been mis-
represented, through the mails.

And having eaten a very modest

at this nickel? He did neither, but on
the contrary he seemed to regard it
as an augury of good fortune that his

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL
Winnipeg Correspondence.

Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact of its superiority. During the
past season it has been shown that
in grain raising qualities it possessed
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
a large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had it
not been for the frost early in August,
which visited most of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 1000 0 acres was sown to win
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large. There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
steads, the Canadian Government CIV
ing 100 acres free, and entry may be
made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable cost to the
American who may have entry made
in this way. Any Canadian Govern
ment Agent will give you the partic-
ulars.
Your correspondent has just re-
ceived the following letter from Craik,
Saskatchewan, which bears out the
statement made in the first part of
this letter.
"Craik, Sask., Aug. 1907.
MAY Gath we planted a Dahlia root,
which WI brought with us from Min
neapolis. Aug. 18th, 80 days later, it
was in bloom. The plant is now Az
feet high and covered with blossoms.
We never got half as many flowers on
1t in Minneapolis, even during Septem-
Der and October, although we had
more time to attend to it there"
l mention this only as an example
of the great productive power of the
soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada.
