Bargain Store Sold.

The Bargain Store at this place
was sold this week to Sam'l Gold
stone and A. L. Creelman, of
this place, and ]. V. Nash, our
retiring county assessor. The
deal was practically closed last
Saturday and only a few minor
details remained to be settled
this week. The new owners ex-
pect to commence invoicing the
stock of goods Monday and will
have charge of the store after
this week. They will conduct
the business at its present loca-
ton for the time being but will
perhaps move next summer into
a brick or concrete building to be
erected by Mr.. Goldstone on the
site of his former store.
Roy Mckinney, who has had
charge of the above named store
for the past several months, will
perhaps go to Grangeville later
to assist in running the Bargain
Store at that place.

Gas in Kansas,

Kansas will be practically without
natural gas inside OF two years If the
present consumption by manufacturers
In southeastern Kansas is not soon dis
continued or largely decreased" said
George E.. McGonigle, of Guthrie, Okla,
to a Washington Post reporter. THE
people will then have to burn wood or
coal. Manufacturers in Kansas are
using approximately 100, 900, 900 cubic
feet of natural gas every day. To this
daily consumption must be added that
OF Kansas City, Mo-; Kansas City,
KAN; Topeka Wichita and other towns
OF Kansas. Under this great strain the
pressure OF the gas is already becoming
weak. .. ~. D..
1T may be strange to say, in face of
this condition, that Oklahoma, a CON-
tiguous state. has all the gas it wants,
but 1t is a fact. Nevertheless, the con-
ditions with regard to it's use are so
chaotic that 1t is practically impossible
to reap h benefits at this time. The
last Oklahoma legislature passed laws
providing that no foreign corporation
can take out a domestic charter without
stipuiating in the charter that the COM
pany Will not pipe the gas out OF the
state.
Governor Haskell ruled that the
Prairie Oil and Gas company was not
compelled to take out a domestic char
ter, and 1t Is probable that q gas COM
pany would receive the same privilege,
yet there Is that feeling OF instability,
which is even now delaying the grant of
a natural gas franchise in St. Louis"

laughter.
He left the eggs in charge of the man
at the box office and entered; and he
enjoyed every minute of the show.
When it was over the manager re-
turned the eggs TO him and said:

Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 6, 1908.
To the Commissioner Of Immigration,
Winnipeg, Manitoba
K Dear Sir--I, In company with my
brother and other relations, arrived In
this country in the spring Of 1893. At
the time we got off the train at Wolse'
ley, Sask., we had only a few dollars,
not enough to start farming on III
WI account, so we were compelled to
work out for a considerable time In or
der to make sufficient money to enable
us to establish ourselves. When we
thought we had money enough to start
with, l and my brother took up II
quarter-sectiOn (1G0 acres) land each
In the Loon Greek district. In 1900
we moved IN our homesteads with n
team OF horses and u walking pillow.
While l was engaged with the work In
the field, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we had hauled dur
ing the time we were not able to work
In the field. We were certainly work
ing very hard, but l am glad to say
that we made our fortune in this vi
try. To-day we do not need to work
so hard as we used to do, as we have
three hired men steady, for whom we
board and lodging during the summer
time. | am also glad to tell you that
to-day we are owners OF a section and
three-qua rters of the best land, with
hrst-class buildings thereon, besides
having all the necessary machinery.
We always do our own threshIng. for
we have o 22-horse-power threshlng
outfit.
Our success in farming In this
try also enabled US to get rid of u
number of horses of less value, and in
stead we bought ten pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood Of $1,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is the
main factor in our district, / am proud
to say that we have always bad good
success. We have raised wheat as high as
Ihirty-fiYe bushels to the acre; and this
year, although we suffered from lack
of sufficient rain. our wheat went tweu-
ty-seven bushels to the acre, and WI
had 900 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 was graded as No.
2 Northern, although we have a guam
tity Of wheat which will surely go as
No. l Northern. During the six years
have never had one frost around here.
so that we always had a good crop.
l, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person who is willing to work and
turn his hands to anything can make u
fortune, and a comfortable living. Our
country Is a thoroughly free country,
and we have a good Government: and,
as long as we have good crops and a
good Government, we are satisfied, and
l think that is all we want.
Yours very truly
