The bills which have been intro

action has yet been taken, cover a
wide range. Agriculture, taxation and
education seem to be popular ques,
tons with the delegates. and number
of bills relating to each Of these topics
have been presented. There is bill
providing for compulsory education,
one requiring that native languages
be taught in the primary schools, one
providing for the further establish,

other provides for the revocation OF
land sold under failure to pay certain

one TO prove the insular waterways.

Apart from its legislative efforts, it
is interesting to note some effects
which the assembly is having upon the
general political state OF the islands

point: Il have just returned from a

convinced that the sentimental effect
among the people is very great, At
any rate it has provided diversion.

Dear Sir;
1t is with pleasure that | reply to
your request. Some years ago | took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which W. own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is low level
and heavy land. We put in 20 acres or
wheat in stubblc, which went 20 bush.
els to the acre, and 80 acres of sum.
mer fallow, which went 20 bushels to
the acre All the wheat we harvested
this year IS No. hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
thcearth. We did not sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want tirst-class seed.
for there is no doubt If you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels OF
first.class oats out of 100 acres. so
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 90 bushels per acre, and 50
acres stubble which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats arc
the best kind that can be
raised We have shipped three car
loads OF them, and got 50 cents per
bushel clear All our grain was cut
I'm the last week of the month OF
August before any frost could touch
It.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.

EASTERN CRITIC COMPARES
GIANTS AND HIGHLANDERS
McGraW's Men Have Call Because
They Can Enlist Jim Corbett and
Louis Mann.

1t is hard to compare, at this early
stage of the 1908 season, the High
lauders with the Giants.
The Highlanders will have Niles,
SDahl. Glade, ElbcrheId, and Edward
Everett Bell among their principal
pillars
The Giants will have MathCwson,
Brvsnahan. Dunlin. Tcnney, Shannon,
Jim Corbett. and Louis Mann
Chcsbro. for the Americans, is not
So young as he used to be, but he
is ready and willing to play the game
Of his life, and there is no use in going
back of a mans intentions. Mathew
SON, III we compare him with Ches
bro. has a slight shadC-a shade about
as Zig. let us say. as Jack Johnson,
who is not such a slight shade. He
too. IS ready and willing to play the
Same of his life.
Next. comparing Newton with Tay.
lor, the Highland southpaw has a
distinct advantage. because he can
say positively that he is ready TO
play the game of his life, and the sill
rnt MIR. Taylor can only indicate his
good intentions by wiggling his fin
gers. Doc Newton, on the other hand
is afraid to go home in the dark, while
Taylor, never hearing any noises, is
always perfectly willing to beat noises,
is always perfectly willing to beat II
home to his fiat early in the evening.
Mr.. William Hogg of the highland
crs. compared with Iron Man McGin'
nifty, the old polo grounds standby,
loses BY several lengths. McGinnity Is
usually steady under fire, while the
iIogg person, like the animal OF the
same name, frequently becomes fran
tic in times of danger
WiItsc and Ames will rank favorably
with Glade and Doyle, and here, in
view Of the fact that the Giants have
run out of pitchers, the comparison
must come TO a halt.
All the catchcrs for the two New
York clubs are ready and willing to
play the game of their lives, except
Klcinow, who is willing, but not ready,
Rrcsnahan has it on KlcinoW milo,
lanes and Blair ought 10 pair or
about evenly, and the other Youngsters
should balance the scales.
Chase has Fred Tcnuoy at first base
by n big margin, no matter how bril-
liantly Tcnncy may perform for the
Giants. Chase is too fast for Mr..
Tcnney, too fast for his teammates,
too fast for the league. Chase Is so
fast he could be started in the third
race and win the second.
The second base position is more
or less in doubt on both clubs. It Is
true that Mcrkle and iIcrzog are prac-
tically experiments on the polo
grounds team, but it Is also true that
Harry Niles, with all his speed as a
base runner, falls long way short Of
such second bascmon as Eyers, Hug
gins, or Lajoic.
Al shortstop, ElborfcId Of course,
has II on Bridwell The latter Is a
surprisingly clever inheldcr, but he is
not Elbcrdold and although the little
tennessee hancock has his faults
and makes his occasional Wild throws,
