GIRLS PRESENT

COMPLAINT OF STRIKING TELE-
PHONE OPERATORS SET OUT
LENGTH IN COMMUNICATION
TO COMMERCIAL BOARD.

The governing board of the Com
mercial club met at noon today and
received a communication from the
striking operators of the Pacific Tel
ephone and Telegraph company. No
action was taken in the matter, as
Secretary Mason reported that he
had received assurances from Divi-
sion Superintendent Reynolds to the
effect that the Lewiston Office would
be put on the same basis as offices
Of this class as soon as the matter
can be adjusted. In view of the fact
that the telephone company has not
been given time to act and has not
been given an opportunity to appear
before the club, the board decided
to withhold action and refer all
further matters in connection there
to to the secretary.
The club authorized the secretary
to communicate with the Open
River association and the govern
ment engineers in charge of the riv-
er Improvement work in this section
J and ask that the dredge boat Wallo-
wa be sent to the upper river as soon
as repaired. to construct the dam al

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. 1t 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
80 bushels to the acre, and others
where so 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
a magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice of a farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is groWn-Who
made net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. 80, 40, and so bushel yields are
ceCCrded there The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so well adapted to grain-rasing,
while the luyuriant 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. 1t
is now possible to secure 100 acres in
addition to the 100 acres as a free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for it.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.

made his toilet,

1t was west, therefore, that the
young soldier rode, his mind in a
turmoil as to whether Strathgate
had run away with Mistress Deborah
or Lady Ellen, and his soul filled with
hot Indignation against his host on
a number Of counts.
Neither Of them knew that two
hours before muddy, blood-stained
man, riding horseback upon coach
horse from which the traces and
other parts of harness had been cut
had passed the gate on the way to
Portsmouth at a gallop that bade fair
to kill the horse. Strathgate had re-.
covered consciousness after awhile,
and thinking that the two women
would go back to Portsmouth by
some means or other, had mounted the
less tired of the two horses, somewhat
refreshed by the half hours rest, and
had galloped in that direction.

CoIombia's One Iron Foundry.

The only iron foundry in Colombia,
South America, is at Bogota. 1t Is
known as La Paradera and is operated
on a small scale, native ores being
smelted, the iron being subsequently
remelted for casting purposes. There
are several commercial iron deposits
in the interior of the country, and one
ore body situated near the coast of
the Caribbean sea is now being drilled
by American engineers.
