EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN.
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni.
peg (Man.) Free Press: "The Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern AL
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where 1t has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about rs years, is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, 60 and over, and most of it No.
Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. It
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be AZ or As bushels
per acre, and mostly No. / Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of $1955 per acre, or
little less than the selling price Of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
it, and failure almost unknown. Nor
as the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co.
lumbia for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan-
tages, and has invested here. and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow"
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana.
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
1t about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 100
acres in addition to his 100 home
stead acres, at $500 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. It might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn) News s-Messenger,
who made trip through portions of it
in July 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts Of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu-
merous drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds Of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul-
tivation, but there Is room for mil
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
little that is different from
and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of the
country"

A Lincuist,

The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery
Stuart's negro dialect stories was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to do
in the early days of her fame, for
charity and church entertainments.
Her imitation of the negro dialect was
excellent, and her small son, who was
very fond of her accomplishment in
this line, frequently boasted of it
among the other children. Once, when
some of his schoolmates were vaunt-
ing the accomplishments of their sew
eral mothers, he was overheard to de-
clare:
well, my mother is smarter than
any of yours. She can speak two lam
guages."
What are they" deHaaC ded his

Health Resained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman

But let dyspepsia or indigestion get

whatever. The food l took did not
-nourish me, and l grew weaker than
ever.
i lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. l had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a vio-

RECORD CREATED BY VOTERS.
Mere Than a Million Ballots Wer
Cast.

Columbus, o,-0Ero pol1ed a vote
that surpa5sea me million ballots de
posted fo"r years ago, making new
high E%cord for Ohio voters.
Exact figures have been slow in
coming in. The immense ballot, which
had compelled the making of specia'
boxes and some increases in the
booths, was in part responsible for thi.
slowness, but the large number o
Taft.Harmon votes cast caused muc'
of the difficulty.
Taft carried Ohio by probably Ovel
10000, while Harmon seems to have
won by a safe margin.
Such figures as have been receised
on minor candidates, although meagcr,
indicate the probable victory of AL
other republicans on the state ticket
1t is reasonably sure that the three
constitutional amendments have fail
ed, not because of the proper proper
ticn Of such votes, but because they
did not in the aggregate reach any
where near the required majority OF
all votes cast at this election.
