THE LUCK OF KILLING DAY
BY McPherson Fraser
Copyright. by shortstory Pub. Coz

The three companies of the Ninth
cavalry, ordered up from Laramie with
gilded records for minstrelsy and saw
age skirmishes to help form the head
quarters Of the department Of the
Platte at Fort Niobrara, were dis
mounting in front of their new 'dobe
quarters between H company and the
suffers store.
The adjutant's niece, who had pulled
up her pony in the rear of the guard
house, 80 yards distant, was contem-
plating them attentively. She had
never experienced colored regulars be-
fore. Her six months career on the
western frontier, excepting few days
with March blizzard at Boise City,
Idaho, lay entirely at Niobrara, whith-
er she came from the arms Of her
parents in Chicago. They had sent
her with fearful reluctance away out
to the post adjutan's wife, to forget
Chopin and Schubert, and five o'clocks
and small gossip for awhile.
The two youngest lieutenants of the
Ninth, easing the wet girths on their

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
Farm LANDS,
"souTHERN ALBERTA Is A
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15'08.
'Mr. c. j. Broughton, Canadian Gov,
ernment Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead ad-
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop!
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having a yield in average
years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from rs to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite bunch of
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and little over. Pork brings and
6 cents pound. We have about 80
head of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one sec
tion for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next 18
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is mighty good country
for any man or woman holoves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern.
ment, and can heartily commend South.
ern Alberta as splendid country in
which to locate.
