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

The experience of the Bisser Bros.
in Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent OF the Cana
dian Government, whose advertise

"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9Th. 1908.
ITO the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
|, in company with my brother and
other relations. arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1898. AT the time
we got off the train at Wolseiey, Sask.,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
so we were compelled TO work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money TO enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money TO start with,
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 pillow. While
l was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built shack and
during the time we We're not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but / 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 $4,000 to $4,000 month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! l am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of
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 % horse
power threshing outfit.
Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us TO get rid of a
number of horses of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, | 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 q bushels to the acre,
and we had 500 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
| new land, and by next year we will
have about lilo acres in crop. For
| one carload of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got a
price of 81 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. Northern, although we
have a quantity of wheat which will
| surely go as No. l 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.
II, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing TO work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
| a fortune, and comfortable living.
| Our country is thoroughly free coun-
| try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops,
and good Government, we are salts.

The senate finance committee OF

cannot justly lay the responsibility
for this delay upon the "progressives"
or the Democrats, as they have shown
disposition to do. For there is con-
siderable irritation and i'll feeling
manifested because the finance com
mittee has not get reported the bill in
full. And most of the senators out
side the finance committee have come
to have feeling of distrust that the
finance committee proposes bringing
out some features in the bill at the
last moment, which IL they were
known and fully understood now
would cause several senators to change
front in supporting or opposing go1d
many OF the schedules. One senator
said:
Il do not propose spending much
time discussing the features of the
bill. In fact, do not know but that
would be justified in refusing to
discuss the bill at all until the finance

Trouble Ahead for AIdrioh.

"It is the opinion of some OF the
best judges here that Senator AldrIch
is to have much trouble on his hands
when the time comes, as come 1t must
for him to cash in. or settle, with the
various senators representing conflict
ing interests. who help make up his
combination.
For instance, in that combination
are the senators from North Dakota,
standing for free lumber. and the sen
ators from Oregon and Washington,
standing for high duty on that COM
modify. There are the senators from
Massachusetts,. who want free hides,
and the senators from Kansas who
want a duty on hides. How will Mr..
Aldrich manage to satisfy these con-
flicting interests? How will he cut the
pie so as to give each side a fat
slice?
"As for Senator McCumber, the radi-
cal senators allege he has sold out the
northwest for mess Of pottage. The
grains for which he demanded higher
duties were, in the judgment of the
radicals, not only sufficiently pro-
tected, but there was no demand
among the intelligent wheat growers
for any increase BY demanding such
an increase however, and then having
his demand acceded to- he has pre-
vented the other senators from that

These radicals charge that Mr.. Nc
Cumber, through his intense desire to
pleast certain classes of his constitu-
ents, has made it impossible for the
men representing other states in his
section of the country to accomplish
anything in the way of amendment OF
the Aldrich bill. 1t all came about in
this way:
Secured Increase on Grains.
Having a constituency devoted large
ly to wheat growing, Mr.. McCumber
made up his mind that he would uxe
his new place on the senate finance
committee to secure an increase IL
the duty on that commodity. And while
he was at it, he also aJked for an in
crease on the duty on oats and barley.
All OF these increases Senator Aldrich
granted with a cheerful heart, AM 1t
is reported that he was almost tempt .
ed to say thank you to Senator Nc
Cumber for having asked for them.
"The result of these concessions to
the North Dakota gentleman was that

MIR. Aldrich said he was astounded
at such display OF greed pn the part
of the upper Mississippi valley and
hoped the other members Of the senate
would see to it that that section Of
the country, which had secured in
creases on all Of it's own products,
would not be permitted to bring about

Stone Applies Burrs.

members of the finance committee, in

he demanded a thoroughly justifying

facturers.
1t was the prediction of the Repub-
lican leaders that the tariff bill would
be completed by June /, when the
special session convened March 15.
This prediction was based upon the
time 1t took to make the Dingley law.
That special session was convened on
March Is also, and the bill was signed
by the president July "a. 1t was sup
posed that was a bigger job than the
present one because the tariff makers
than had to take a Democratic bill
and remake Ii complete. It was sup
posed hat a simple revision of a Re-
publican tariff bill by Republicans
would not take so long. But since the
Aldrich crowd decided to revise the
tariff upwards instead of downwards,
and at the same time try to make the
public believe otherwise it has been
found a more trying task than was at
first expected
