RAW FURS---PROFITS FOR
 COUNTRY BOYS.

This is the time of the year when the average country boy not only gets great amount of sport and pleasure out of fur trapping. but considerable profit and pocket money. Raw Furs in recent years have brought remark ably good prices. Fashion has or dained that every lady must wear furs, consequently the demand has in- creased. Prices of furs are higher than they were last season. M. Sabel & Sons. Louisville, Ky, make a spe- cialty of Raw Furs, and visit to their fur rooms Is an interesting sight. for here can be found furs from every section of the United States.

SEGREGATION
 BILL KILLED
THE CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY RE. CEDES FROM ITS FORMER 20. SETON ON THE JAPANESE
 SCHOOL MEASURE.
GOV. GILLETTE DELIGHTED
Says He Feared Passage of Bill Would Have Been Disastrous-Aard Fiqht
 Over Measure.

Sacramento, Cal.-Yielding to the pressure brought to bear by President Roosevelt and Governor Gillette the California assembly receded from it's previous position on the Japanese mat ter by reconidering the former vote on the segregation of Japanese stu dents in the public schools and final ly rejected the measure by vote of 41 to 37. An effort by the supporters of the bill further to reconsider was lost by tie vote and the assembly Is now clean of any anti-Japanese measure objected to by the national administration.
 The school bill is still to be con sidered in the Senate, having been presented there by Senator A. Cami- netti, but there is little chance that the measure will be approved when brought up.
 T am highly pleased with the ac- ton of the assembly," said Governor Gillette. The East has been deeply concerned in the measure pending here and I feared that if the anti Japanese legislation was pressed at this time it would have a disastrous effect"
 Governor Gillette said that the next matter to be taken up by the assembly would be the proposed appropriation of $l0.000 for the compiling of a cen sus of Japanese in California. He said that if from the data SO gathered t was found necessary to do so Con gress would be urged to enact an Asi- attic exclusion measure.

THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK
BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
 so HARD.


 Tn Western Canada is similar to that reported to every agent of the Cana dian Goyernment, whose advertise ment appears elsewhere:
 "Wheatwyn, Sask.. Nov. 9th. 1908.
 To the Commissioner of Immigra- ton. Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir: l, in company with my brother and other relations, arrived in this coun- try in the spring of 1893. At the time We got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.. We had only few dollars, not enough to start farming on our own account. so We were compelled to work out for considerable time in order to make sufilcient money to enable us to es- tablish ourselves. When We thought We had enough money to start with. I and my brother took up one quarter section (160 acres) land each in the Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved on our homesteads with one team of horses and one walking blow. While l was engaged with the work in the field, my brother built a shack and barn of logs, which We have hauled during the time we were not able to work in the field. We were certainly working very hard, but 1 am glad to say that we made our fortune in this country. To-day we do not need to work so hard as we used to, as we have three men hired steady for whom we pay 5000 to S4000 a month. besides board and lodging during the summer time. 1 am also glad to tell you that to-day we are owners of a section and three-quarters of the best land, with first class buildings thereon. besides having all the necessary ma chinery. We always do our own threshing. for We have a 22 horse- power threshing outfit.
 Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of number of horses of less value, and instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares, representing a value in the neighbor- hood of $5,000.
 Regarding raising grain, which is the main factor in our district, I am proud to say that we have always had good success. We have raised wheat as high as 35 bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suf fered from lack of sufficient rain, our wheat went 27 bushels to the acre, and we had 900 acres in crop. We have broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres in crop. For one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents per bushel, and it graded as No. 3 Northern. although we have quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern. During the six years we have been farming for ourselves we have never had one frost around here, so that we always had good crop.
 'I for myself, feel compelled to say that our Great West is the land where a person who is willing to work and trun his hands to anything, can make a fortune, and a comfortable living. Our country is thoroughly free coun- try, and we have a good Government; i; and, as long as we have good crops, and good Government, we are satis. 6ed, and I think that Is all we want.
 Yours very truly,
 "LORENS LESSER,
