John Grosth is probably one OF the
most remarkable men on earth.
When Nome was started he was one
of the first Corners. He went out some
miles to a gold bearing country which
has since been named New Jerusalem
Like every one else in the north.
Grosth searched for gold. And like few
others his search was successful from
the first. Within a few months he
struck it rich, and in a years time he
became a millionaire.
That was seven years ago. Ever
since, Grosth has become steadily rich
er, but every morning, just the same,
he shoulders his pick, goes to his mine.
and works his eight to 10 hours.

CONGREGATION IN WILD PANIC
Father Leo Heinrichs1 Shot as He Ad-
ministers Sacrament to Anarchist
kneeIing at Altar Rail in Den
yer Church.

Denver, Godfather Leo Heinrichs
was shot and killed when administer
ing the sacrament at early mass in st.

and Curtis streets, this city, at 6
O'Clock Sunday morning. Kneeling at
the altar rail between two women,
Giuseppe Guarniccio pressed the muz-
zle of a revolver against the body of
the priest, after receiving the conse-
Grated water, and shot Father Leo
through the heart.
EXclaiming, MY God! My God!'
Father Leo fell PROSTATE in front of
the altar and died without uttering an
other word.
With an inarticulate scream, the as
sassin sprang into the aisle and dashed
to the door. For a moment the hun
dred or more people in the church
were dazed, then became panic-strick-
en-. Women tainted and many became
hysterical. Several men rushed to the
aid of the priest and others started in
pursuit of the murderer. Among the
latter was Patrolman Daniel Cronin,
who overlook the fleeing Italian on the
steps.
Guarmeao made the following state
ment:
q just went over because l have a
grudge against all priests in general.
They are all against the working man.
l went to the communion rail because
could get a better shot. [ did not
give a damn whether he was a German
priest or any other kind of a priest.
They are all in the same class.
Il left Italy three months ago; went
first to Central America and then came
to this country and to Denver. l am
an anarchist and l am proud of it.

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH y EXPECTED
U. S. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY WESTERN
CANADA.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb 9, 1908.-Pres-
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on a
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January 29th, says;
This winter up to January 25 was
nothing short of marvel, in fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc, were discarded by most
people in the day time There was
so little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring,
winter wheat should gain a great
start
Amongst the reports of the yield
of last year the following extracts are
taken:
H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta, writ
ing on November, 1907, says: Il have
20 acres in crop, SO acres of wheat and
seven acres of oats. My average yield
of oats was 35 bushels to the acre,
and of wheat As bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre"
]. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
in November: Il had SO acres in win
ter wheat, which went so bushels to
the acre; oats averaged so bushels. L
also had II tons of hay worth $40
per ton. l got 900 bushels of pota-
toes from three acres of land; | got
eight tons per acre from five acres of
sugar beet"
J. F. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had
1,030 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 391A bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $31.e0; oats,
$11.20 and barley, $25.15.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists Price fifty cents
per bottle.
