But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold Of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Mich. lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me

nourish me, and | grew weaker than

Il 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-
lent headache. Walking across the

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 it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about % 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.
l 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. 1t
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 $19.55 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
1t, and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is 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.

The wheat, oat and barley crop in
otrer 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

how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. 1t might
be interesting to read what is said of

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 magniicence 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
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, 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"

BIG MINING FRAUD
BROUGHT TO HALT
Federal Sleuths Arrest PrOmi.
nent New Workers on SWIM
ding Charges.
BEATS MISSISSIPPI BUBBLE
POstofice Inspector Declares Laws Ef.
fort Amateurish as Compared
With Mexican Enterprise.

New York, Nov. 10. - The most
~stupendous mining fraud ever operat-
ed in America" according to Chief
P~ostofice Inspector w. S. May
err, was brought to a sudden halt Sat
urday by federal authorities raiding
the Offices of George w. Emanuel &
Co, SIT Fifth avenue.
Those arrested were Lewis A.
Prince and J. Walter Larrabee, who is
now connected with the Quibdo Gold
Dredging company Of sc Broadway.
Emanuel narrowly escaped arrest.
He took flight for Mexico a half hour
before the raid was made.
CranstOn Thomas, supposed to be
n of the moving spirits in the con
Germ, was taken at his home in Brook
Ign.
In international Game.
The operations OF the men now I'M
der arrest are believed to form a vast
swindling web. the meshes of which
extend over the entire country, MeXi-
co and a part of South America.
Millions Of dollars are believed to
have already been swindled by this
galaxy of talent.
The Mississippi Bubble of John
Law is only the work of an amateur
in comparison with it," said Postotiice
Inspector Elmer /. KinCaid, who con-
Quoted the raid. ut is the nos dan
gerous 'get-rich-quick' ever unearthed.
Had it remained unchecked it would
have compared with the Standard Oil
in magnitude"
The names of the men involved in
the arrest include several prominent
inanciers and two we'll known bucket
shot operators, who have previously
been the object of police search.
Most Daring Ever Conceived.
A recent extension of the plans Of
these men included the formation Of
several mushroom companies, which
now will never see the light of day.
The mother company is the "old re-
liable" Mutual Trust company, and
under the fostering care of George
Emanuel & Co., it is alleged, it was
organized by Louis Prince nd J. Wal
ter Labaree.
Hundreds OF checks and thousands
Of letters from customers were found
in the Offices Of the concern. The
books of the company, however, show
ing the list of those believed to have
been swindled, were in a heavy steel
safe, the keys of which, the prisoners
declared, could not be found.
The fraud perpetrated by the Mu-
tual of Mexico III their plan of opera
ton was one Of the most daring ever
conceived.
