THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity Of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield SO hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine On this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiva-
ton of the lands in these provinces.
Almost any section of the country will
do as we'll.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as a done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break it
up and crop it, make $17,550 out OF
the yield and $10,SSO out of the increase
of value all Within the short period
of two years, vas the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, a we'll known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the GAO acres OF
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres Of oats.
The wheat yielded 1885 bushels, and
the oats yielded ALSO bushels. The
whole of the grain has been market
ed and MIR. Bailey is now worth SIT, $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $35 an acre,
just a SIT advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost $11,32O in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures of the case.-Land cost, $40
acres, at SIS. $11,32O. Wheat yielded
1875 bushels. at 81 cents a bushel,
$16,695. Oats yielded ALSO bushels
at 2S cents a bushel, 1855. Offered
for land, $40 acres at s35 an acre,
$22, 400. Increase value of land, $10,SSO.
Total earnings of crop. s17,55O, togeth-
err with increase in value of land a to-
tai of $2S,540.
1t is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1914 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are a fair indication Of the aver
age throughout the district.

is 81 miles in length and runs south
Of town. 1t commences at the

south for 13a miles to the south
west corner of section 36, then east
two miles to the southwest corner

S. thence west one mile to the
southwest corner Of section 6,
thence north two and a half miles
to the center of the west line of
section 80, thence west one mile to
the postoffice, the starting point.
There are 112 families to be served
on the route. Notices have been
posted at the local Office asking for
applicants and the party accepted
will have to pass a satisfactory
examination. The applications of
those wanting to act as carrier will
be taken through this office.
This is Beach's first rural route,
but no doubt one will be estab-
lished north of town if the patrons
in that territory want a route,
and if they do they should get busy
aad see that they get one.

BIG DANCE ON
FOR TONIGHT
Geo. Baht Will Let Young People
Take Possession Of the Big
Machinery Depot

Geo Baht. the manager of the
Beach Implement Company, at the
request Of a number of the young
people decided to give a dance on
the second floor Of his large mach
inery warehouse which has just
been completed. The dance is
billed for tonight (Friday) and
Mr.. Baht is going to enertain
everyone, whether they dance or
not. For those who do not dance
he has fixed up the office room on
the main floor where cards and
games can be played. The dance
however, will be the main feature
as the floor is plenty large enough
to accommodate all who attend and
the Beach orchestra has been en-
gagged to furnish music. The
evenings entertainment will be
entirely free, except that collec-
tion will be taken up to pay the
musicians. This will probably
be the only dance given on this
large floor as it will soon be oc-
cupied by a large stock of machin-
cry which is now on the road. So
if you enjoy dancing on a large
floor don't miss this dance. Mr..
Baht wishes especially to invite
the country people-and that he
will give them a good time is as
sured.
