Oats Yielded &c Bushels to thu Acre.
The following letter. written the Do
minion Government Commissioner of
Emigration, speaks for itself. 1t proves
the story of the agents of the govern
ment that on the free homesteads Of
fered by the government 1t is possible
to become comfortably well of In a few
years:
Commissioner Of Immigration, Winni-
peg:
Dear Sir-It is with pleasure that |
reply to your request. Some years s
l took up a homestead for myself n
also one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between Rou-
leau and Drinkwater, adjoining the
Moose Jaw Creek is a low level n
heavy land. We put In 70 acres OF
wheat in stubble. which went 20 bush
els to the acre, and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. I hard. That a
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. I've did not sell any wheat
yet, as We intend to keep n part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want frst-class seed, for
there Ia no doubt II you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class oats out of 100 acres. Eighty
acres has been fall blowing, which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 80
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are the best
kind that can be raised. We have
shipped three car loads Of them, and
got SO cents per bushel clear. All our
grain was cut in the last week Of the
month Of August before any frost could
touch 1t.
Notwithstanding the fact that We
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and u~nfavorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot b
checked, even by unusual conditions
I am, dear sir, yours truly,

A Pretty ri. Dt.co,.s,

There was a children's hospital In
New York which "A society lady visited
regularly, taking fruit and flowers to
the little patients. and in q certain
ward a boy was pointed out to her one
day as a bad customer.
"'Oh. he is incorrigihls,' sighed the
nurse.
Miss Society talked a while with
the little chap, and when she arose to
90 she said:
See here, I have heard bad reports
about you. Now, l want you to prom
Use ME to be good. If you are good for
a whole week, I'll give you a dollar
when come again next Thursday
THE boy promised to try to be good.
This promise, though. he did not keep.
On her next visit Miss Society, going
to his cot, said:
81 shall not ask the nurses how you
have behaved this last week. I want
you to tell me yourself. Now, what do
you think-do you deserve that dollar
/ promised you or not?'
THE boy regarded Miss Society with
a troubled frown. Then he said in q
low voice:

BARTLETT'S FITNESS
FOR CONGRESS

Nevada has but one representative in
the lower house of congress. With Il
territory nearly three times that of
New York state, with population
three times that shown by the last
census, with vast acreage irrigated and
thrown open for settlement, with forests
and fields, with broad ranges grazed by
sheep and cattle, ahd with mines of un-
told wealth, the hall of congress has
but one Nevada representative.
He is George \. Bartlett. IL man of
most striking personality, true son of
the desert, an exemplifcation of probity,
intelligence and patriotism. One who
dares and does.
Nevada has not alwayS-in fact has
rarely-bcen represented in congress bv
one who WAS able ut the beginning of
his career at Washington to gain rec
osnition of the speaker and attention
of his fellow legislators.
The magnetic gentleman from Ne
Vada has done both from the day he
took his seat. To him has been assigned
important committee work. He has
been consulted on every issue of import
ance to tn" west in general and to
Nevada in particular.

his position through forccfuness. in

Couldn't Dodge These Taxes

Pleased with his mornings work
he had sworn off no less than $40, 900
in taxes capitalist leaned back in
his chair, lighted a cigar and talked
agreeably.
''In the past" he said, governments
were wiser. They levied taxes that
could not be sworn off. There was,
for instance, the English birth tax of
the seventeenth century. A laborer
paid two shillings as birth tax; a duke
paid EDO. You couldn't get round it.
''Burials were taxed, according to
the station of the dead, from a shilling
TO e25. That, too, could not be
lodged.
Marriages were taxed A duke, to
marry, paid $50; a common person,
like yourself, paid half crown.
"In those days you paid tax on
every servant, on every dog, on every
horse, On your carriage, your hearth,
