vested and it is now safe to speak of
results. Throughout the entire grain
growing area of 100000 square miles
there has been a uniform production
and a high average. Careful estimates
place the yield of spring wheat at 80
bushels per acre, winter wheat at over
40 bushels and oats exceed so bushels
per acre. Barley also has proved an
abundant yield. What will attract the
reading public more than volumes of
figures will be the fact that those who
have been induced through the influ-
enCe of the Government to accept of
100 acres of free grant land, or, by the
persuasion of friends to leave their
home State of Dakota, Minnesota,
iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,
Nebraska or the other States from
which people have gone, have done
well. Financially they are in a better
position than many of them ever ex-
pected to be, and in the matter of
health, III social conditions, they have
lost nothing
The columns of Canadian newspa-
pers are filled with accounts of this
years harvest, writer's vying with each
other in giving the proper coloring to
their reports. These make exhilarating
reading to the man who has interests
in that country. Lethbridge people
claim it to be the keystone of Southern
Alberta, while Calgary people claim
the same for their district. 1t was in
this district that the growing of win
ter wheat in western Canada originat-

east and west of it to experiment and
what can now be said of one part may
well be said of the whole. In a few
years from now these great plains over

WHEN SEARCHED.
HAS A SISTER IN MILWAUKEE.
Alleged Medicine Fakir Is Said to Have
Victimized Young Girls with Bogus
Marriage Licenses.
HOPES TO BE RELEASED ON BAIL.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 5.-[Spe-
cial. lit was a surprising find that was
made by officers at the Marquette prison
when they got through searching John
Adams, alias DR. Anton j. Wiechers.
Three 500 gold certificates were found.
So cleverly were two of the notes hidden
that it is remarkable that they were
ever found
Adams was employed handling lumber
at the prison box factory, having been
sent up from Detroit last March. One
Of the officers considered Adams behav-
ior suspicious and thought it advisable to
have his clothes searched. When one of
his stockings was pulled off there fell
out a scrap of paper which proved to
contain 500 gold certificate.
Adams was supplied with a new outfit
of clothes. Then he asked for his eye
glasses, which had been taken from him
when he was searched. He was offered
the glasses, but insisted on also having
the case. He was so solicitous about
getting the case that it was examined
carefully, and two more 500 gold GER
uhcates were found securely pasted I'M
der the velvet lining.
Glued Under Lining.
The certificates had been glued to-
gether and then had been securely glued
under the lining, so that only the closest
examination could reveal anything I'M
usual about the case
The money was turned over to the
prison boOkkeeper and placed to Adj
ANS credit. 1t is supposed he kept it on
his person with the idea of having it
in case he might make his escape. The
discovery of the notes is made the more
interesting by Adams story that the of
ficers burned up a certificate of deposit
for $500, running in his favor.
Adams claims that he had it secreted
in an old shoe, one of wornout pair
that was thrown to one side in his cell.
The officers gathered up these shoes and
burned them as worthless, and if Adj
ans is telling the truth his certificate
helped to make smoke. In view of the
fact that $500 in currency was uncov-
cred on his person the officers are in
clined to believe this other recital.
Expects to Get Bail.
Adams. who is a man OF about fifty
years, expects to be released under S10,-
900 bail The supreme court has held
that he may be released on bail for this
amount, and Adams expects that bonds
men will be forthcoming. His sister,
yresiding i'll Milwaukee, is said to be well
3enOugh off to be able to come to his
assistance.
Adams was given from two and one
half to five years, with the maximum
recommended, by Judge Connolly at De
troit, the charge against him having
been deceiving a young girl with a fake
marriage license. He inserted an adj
vertisement in q Cincinnati paper that
was answered by one Rose HEINZ, whom
he is alleged to have deceived and vic
timized.
Adams is suspected of having figured
in similar escapades. He is said to have
made much money when at liberty as a
medicine fakir, and Diamond Kid" was
one of his soubriquets.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 5.-[Special.] ].
-Adolph H. Wagner of Milwaukee can
not recover from the state for his dis
missal from the state treas1rer's office,
according to a decision handed down by
the state supreme court today.
Wagner was an emplOye in the state
treasures Office here and was suspended
on charges of incompetency by the head
of the office. He carried the case to
the circuit court of Dane county,, where
the contention of State Treasurer An
drew II. Dahl that Wagner was incom-
petent was upheld by jury. This case
was carried to the supreme court, which
upheld the lower court.
Joseph Ruth, cashier of the State
Bank of Arcadia, who was found guilty
of making false entries i'll the books of
the bank, lost in his appeal to the su-
preme court. When Ruth was tried, the
jury disregarded two other counts in the
complaint and Ruth appealed on the
ground that the state could not separate
the counts. The decision of the lower
court was affirmed.

Great Crops in
Western Canada
~~~~~~~
Canadian Correspondence:

Canadian Correspondence:
During the early days in the growth
of the crop in Western Canada, as well
as throughout the ripening and garner
ing period, there is yearly growing an
increasing interest throughout the Uni
ted States, as to the probable results
when harvest is completed. These
mean much to the thousands of Ameri
cans who have made their home in
some one of the three Provinces that
form that vast agricultural domain, and
is of considerable interest to the
friends they have left behind them.
The year 1909 is no Disappointment;
Tt will bring comfort and happiness,
wealth and luxury to those who are
following agriculture as a pursuit in
the country now occupying so much of
the attention of the World-of this con-
tinent in particular. Reports from the
grain fields warrant the note of opti-
mism that has been SO prominent dur
ing the past few months. The crops of
wheat, oats and barley have been har-

seem a reflection on the intelligence or
the reading public to repeat it. 1t Is
not proposed to do so. It's Topographic
cal characteristics are divergent. There
is the level prairie with its rich deep
loan and underlying subsoil, the high
er and rolling lands with their groves
of timber, the wooded lands rich in
soil The wants of all can be supplied;
some want one kind and some another
and they can all be suited. The man
who wants to put in his steam ploW
and force the energies of the SOIL INTO
immediate production can be suited
and so can the man who wishes large
tracts for the same purposes, and at
the same time enjoy the companion
ship of the timber. In many parts IL
is possible to have hundred mile
square of wheat, without break. "A
writer says: I'VE were driven west ana
north of Moose Jaw through 20 miles
of dead ripe wheat, acres of stocks ana
we'll worked summer-fallows. one Oh
these fields would yield 40 bushels to
the acre and another man had oats
that would yield 80 or 100 bushels to
the acre. In this district wheat will
lions were never better and through
out the district the people are assured
of a most prosperous year" In the
Melfort district, three hundred miles
in another direction, we hear OF TAR
mer whose yield of oats will run from
IS to 100 bushels per acre; then trav-
cling over another stretch of three
hundred miles the Pipestone district in
Manitoba is reached and we learn OF
more 80 and 40 bushels to the acre
crops of wheat. So it will be seen that
the splendid crops are not confined to
one district, but are general throughout
the entire country.

WINGED him, not only of the soundness
of his views, but it also has established
the conviction that the great eXpan-
sion of the next few years will be in
Canada's western areas. Il have never

1t takes an army of men to handle
the Western Canada crop, and it is
estimated that 10000 people have been
brought in this year to assist in the
great undertaking; there being excur-
sions from the outside world nearly
every day for the past six weeks.
In this article no attention has been
given to the growth of flax which has
had great attention paid to it in some
districts. It is safe to say that in addi-
ton to the 120 million bushels Of
wheat. the 10 million bushels of oats
and the 80 million bushels of barley,
there will be over two million bushels
of flax. The approximate value of all
these crops may safely be put at One
Hundred and Sixty Million Dollars, as
against total of lis million dollars
in ICES.
