NEW DISTRICTS AND
 NEW RAIL WAYS
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
 FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor -- Sir:-Doubtless many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grain fields of Western Canada, where such a large number of Americans have made their home during the past few years. IL Is pleasing to be able to re- port that generally the wheat yield has been good; it will average about 20 bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go 35 bushels to the acre, and others where 90 bushels to the acre has been recorded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid The prices of all grains will bring to the farmers magnificent return for their labors An instance has been brought to my notice of farmer in the Pincher Creek Southern Alberta) district where winter wheat is grown-who made net profit of $1955 per acre or little less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 90 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they
 
 while the luvuriant grasses that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying pur- poses.
 The new homestead regulations which went into force September, 1908, attracted thousands of new settlers It ( ;l.Iy. 4 :,, addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be se- cured from the Canadian Government Agents.
 The development throughout West ern Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in the worlds history" is not the statement of an optimistic Cana ian from the banks of the Saskatche- wan, but of Mr Leslie M. Shaw of New York. eX-Secretary of the United States Treasury under the late Presi- dent Mckinley and President Roose- welt, and considered one of the ablest fnanciers of the United States. Our railway companies sold good deal of their land at from three to five dol lars an acre. and now the owners are selling the same land at from fifty to seventy-fve dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen"
 The editor of the Monticello Qowa) Express made trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly impressed. He says: One cannot cross Western Canada to the noun tains without being impressed with it's immensity of territory and it's future prospects Where l expected to find frontier villages there were substan- tially built cities and towns with every modern convenience It was former ly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country. but its wheat raising possibilities have been amply tested We drew from Ontario many of our best farmers and most progress sive citizens Now the Americans are emigrating in greater numbers to Western Canada SeVenty-five per cent. of the settlers in that good coun- try located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans. Canada Is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more

He did so; whereupon the elephant seeing likely foundation material in him. snatched him with his trunk and buried him in the mire.

Districts This Year.

In only five Assembly districts there fights
this year. so far as the Republican party is con-
cerned If the attitude of the state leaders had re-
manned in opposition the nomination of Governor
Hughes there might have been number of fights,
where the would have been the selection Of
Hughes anti-Hughes delegates.
AS it is, the five fights only local and do not
in any way affect the organization as whole
William H Rose fighting supplant George s.
Fusch in the 1st District. and Hugo Norwack. who
has been a political figure Of considerable impor-
tance in the district, is with Rose.
In the 5th District Henry Pierson is making a
fight overthrow Joseph T. Hackett and Edward
Bodine Pierson has organized the Abingdon Square
Republican Club and has been working hard, but
Hackett and Bodlne say their leadership is secure

William Hahn is the present leader. He is being
opposed for reelection by Charles B. Page, Elec-
Odell man, while Page stands with President Par
OF the county committee. Last year the negro

number supported Hahn Page declares that they

Much has already been written about the three
cornered fight in the 18th District, where Harry
W. Mack, the present leader, is being opposed by
two tickets. One is headed by Leslie S. Lockhart
who represents the friends of Lemuel E. Quigg
the former leader of the district The other ticket
is backed by ex-Congressman William II. Douglas
who until recently was an ardent supporter of
Mack. The fight is bitter one. and the three
candidates are running close
The fifth fight is in the 34th District, where oppo-
sition to the leadership Of Headley NJ. Green has
sprung up. 1t has not been decided who will head
the opposition ticket on the primary ballot.
