The wheels in some inexplainable

rails were spread and the track was
badly torn up. Shortly before the

Canadian Pacific Railway Co. Has New Scheme Where
by Farmers Will Pay For Bow River Lands With
Their Crops-A Good Country.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. PA striking
innovation in colonization methods
probably will be introduced shortly
by the Canadian Pacific railway
company, in connection with the
planting of farmers in the Bow
river irrigation district of the pro-
vince of Alberta, 1t is proposed
that the company should offer the
land to new settlers under a con-
tract which makes the land pay
for itself, no crop, no payment.
The feature of the idea is the
confidence the company has in the
ability of the land to pay for itself.

call from freezing to death Monday
He was out on horseback looking
for estray horses and became lost
in the snow storm. After wandering
over the prairie until he was thoroly
chilled he ran on to a straw stack,
tied the halter strap around the
horses neck and turned him loose,
AMI then buried himself in the stack
and remained there during the day

sent out, but failed to locate him,
and it was not until Tuesday morn

the farmers rest their land every
