CANAOAS GRAIN
HARVEST BIG
THIS YEAR
Farmers and Grain Growers
to Pocket Surplus of
About 100000, 900.
BIG YIELDS REPORTED

OTTAWA, Oct. 6.-An official
statement of the grain harvest of
Canada has just been issued by the
statistics department of the do
minion government here. 1t gives
the estimates of production, COM
puted from the reports Of large
staff Of correspondents, and al
though the Wotals are somewhat
less than those of month ago for
wheat and barley, they still show
that Canada has reaped an i'm
mense harvest The wheat crop is
put down at 16S,386,000 bushels,
giving an average of % bushels per
acre, and barley at 100000 bush
.els, or 81 bushels per acre. The
yield of oats is given at $4,000
bushels, or 3S bushels per acre.
The grain movement is begin
ming and If present prices hold the
crop will not only be the largest
but the most profitable in the his
tory of the country. Harvesting op-
erations were practically concluded
at the end Of August, except in
Quebec and the maritime provinces
and although there was scarcity
of labor in the northwest the fine
weather there made the cutting of
grain practicable in good weather.
The wheat yield for Manitoba
Saskatchewan and Alberta is over
149,000,000 bushels and oats 1877
100000 bushels.

STEEL CARS FOR COAST
i EXTENSION OF C.,
"a. M. & ST. P.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 6.--The Chi.
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road has ordered $50 all-steel pas
senger cars, of which 100 are for
the western coast extension and 80
cars to be used on the old lines
in Wisconsin, Illinois and other
states.
The st. Paul road is the first
western line to place big order for
the expensive steel passenger cars
Of the non-telescoping type. The
Hartman lines have recently or.
dered 600 such cars and the Penn
sylvania road in the east was
pioneer in buying 500 cars of the
improved kind. :
The assignment of so many of
the cars to the western extension
Is attributed to the necessity for
getting new passenger equipment
for 1000 miles of new road and to
meet the strong competition and
better passenger service to the Pa
cific coast which is being inaugur-
ated by the Hill lines from the
Twin Cities westward.
The purchase of the new steel
cars indicates that the st. Paul
road is going to pay more attention
In the future to developing it's pas
Senger traffic.

WASP WAIST MUST

London Modistes Agree Upon the
Correct Measure.

LONDON, Oct. Ga 26 inch
waist is the decree for the autumn.
Most modistes and corsetieres are
combining with eahc other to give
the fashionable figure additional
girth, startling change from the
extreme attenuations of the recent
directoire vogue.
Mrs. Elinor Temple, one Of the
many upper class women who have
taken to trade, is impressing upon
the society women who consult her
in hercapacity as corset scientist
that they must develop a 26 inch
waist In readiness for the new au-
tumn fashions.
This is a reasonable and salts
factory waist measurement for a
woman Of average size," explains
Mrs. Temple.
I. To cultivate waist and waist only
Is, she says, as aesthetic as well as
a physical mistake. Mrs. Temples
strongest lever with her feminine
patrons Is, however, her assurance
that the English man has ceased to
admire the wasplike waist.
