Dear Sir
In 1905 I located on claim about
30 miles from the town of Wadena,
on the Canadian Northern Railroad,
have lived on my claim most OF the
time since. | consider this to be one
of the best districts in the country
for grain growing, In 1906 wheat
averaged from 80 to 81 bushels per
acre on some of my neighbors farms,
within 4 miles of my claim. Oats go
from rs to 100 bushels. 1t is also a
good country for stock Where | am
there is plenty of fuel. Homesteads
nearly all taken the settlement being
largely Germans, and Americans, all
well.to-do. | left Wadena in Febru-
ary. 1907, returning April 20, so that
I missed part of the winter, which the
old settlers tell me was one OF the
worst they ever saw, but there was
no suffering, as the people are pretty
well fixed, and there are no blizzards
in that country, at least there never
has been known to be one. Wild land
sells at from $40 to SIS; closer to
town it is higher.
In the summer we have all sorts
Of wild fruits very plentiful, and
never saw better vegetables, and game
is so plentiful a man need not staryC

of good water too. You need moi

The story of wheat farming in Wes-
tern Canada (that portion Of Canada
lying north of Dakota and Montana)
has been frequently told, but 1t Will
stand lot of telling, and still retain
its touch of interest. During the year
just closed 277,376 persons made their
homes in Canada as compared with
1882 for the year 1906, an increase
Of 61,464. Those from the United
States numbered 56,551. A writer in

Continuing the same writer says:
"While million human beings throng
"the shores of the United States every
"year, the smaller number arriving in
Canada come with more well-de'

been asked why do these people come
to Canada? The available land be-

has been exhausted, and the farmers
within that territory find that their
sons have to seek newer climes. Cana
da offers one hundred and sixty acres
of land free to EACH This land yields
! from 20 to 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre. In Southern Alberta, the winter
wheat belt of Canada as high as 60
bushels per acre have been harvested.

ADVOCATE ABoLISMENT
OF STREET LIGHTS
C. L. Becker Says to Save $4,000
Per Year on Lights and Use 1t
on Street Improvements.

One Keokuk man believes that the
Keokuk Lantern club is such a good
thing that the city could afford to do
away with the electric lighting sys,
tenn and save the $4,000 per year
paid for the service.
He puts the proposition up to the
people that the city cancel its contract
with the lighting company and use
the $4,000 saved, in improving the
streets, Here is his idea
To the Editor of The Gate City:

so far have not Joined it. because !
have advocated the use of lanterns for
several years. not because we had no
electric lights, nor moonshine, but be-
cause the large untrimmed trees, some
in all parts of the city, but more es-
pecially in the First ward where at
least half of the streets and sidewalks
would be dark, to say nothing about
the accident at the power house. The
city pays out say $500 per month for
light, including the light inspectors
$4,000 per year
If we can do without the electric
light for say two months what is
the reason we can't do without it for
twelve months and save all this money
and put it on the streets, which would
put them in good orders and then keep
them so. The light only burns on an
average of half the night any way and
of course we now have our lanterns
and If we have to go out the first part
of the night, use them. Then the last
half of the night stay at home, where
nearly everybody ought to be. What
say you taxpayers?
