Notsoy very many years ago the major
fly Of people In the United States
laughed at the prediction that the day
was coming when Western Canada
would far outstrip this country in
the raising Of grain-when, in other
words, It would become the great
bread. basket Of the world During the
past three or four years the enormous
production Of grain in the Dominion

who doubted the destiny OF Canadas

OF thousands OF American farmers
whose average yield IS not more than
from ten TO fifteen bushels Of wheat
to the acre. and who are dnding that
their product IS also ourclassed in
quality by that of their northern
neighbOrs.

"A few pioneers" Only small per.
centage OF the unnumbered millions
OF acres OF grain land are under cult
walton, Notwithstanding the fact that
tens Of thousands of homesteads were
taken up last year. And yet when
all the figures are in. It will be found
that the settlers OF the western prai-
ries have raised this year more than
1875 ,000.0 bushels OF wheat, 100, 000,-
900 bushels OF oats and $4,000, 900
bushels of barley. 1t has been for
tune making year" for thousands Of
American farmers who two or three
years ago owned hardly more than the
clothes upon their backs, and whose
bumper crops from their homesteads
will yield them this season anywhere
from 81 500 to s., 500 each. more money
than many Of them have seen at one
time in all their lives.

thick down the middle OF the river,
passing through channel OH the Har-
ford side to the Bay The ice ran all
day Sunday, and about 10 o'clock Sum
day night the river began to rise and
continued to rise slowly until after
midnight. This rise brought the water
in almost all the Easements and back
yards ON the river side OF the town.
When the residents awoke Monday
morning they found that the railroad
track was inundated from Middle
town to the lower end of the town
Strange 10 say. the people in the lower
end oi the town had the most water
this year.
The earlier trains between Port De
posit and Pcrryville were delayed.
about II O'Clock the tracks became
clear ~ water and all trains resumed
their regular. schedule runs.
Nj day Monday the river was very
high and ice ran from shore to shore
NJ this writing the ice has thinned
out considerably. which shows thai,
everything is down from above and
the danger is all over

LEGISLATURE

The closing day oi last weeks scs-
sion was signalizcd BY the passage OF
the Disfranchisement Amendment
with rush and under suspension Of the
rules. Senator Baker. of Hartford,
protested against disposing Of SO inn
portant measure on such short no.
tiee, but his protest was not needed.
Evidently the word had gone forth
from the leaders" to rush IL through,
and through II went, without a word
of comment or discussion on the part
OF the Democratic majority. Senators
Baker. France and Lancaster. for the.
Republicans, scored the bill severely,
but no word of reply could be elected
from the Democrats, who seemed to
fear that any consideration of this
measure might cndanger its chances
of passing. The provisions oi the Bill
have been already set forth in the
WHlG. It will be submitted to the
people for adoption or rejection at the
Fall election of 1909.
