EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
asouTHERN ALBERTA IS
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY

No stronger or better evidence can
be given Of the merits OF country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15'0S.
mr.. G. ]. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition Of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got homestead ad-
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two hemesteads, and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres Of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
Of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, 1t is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having a yield in average
years of from 20 to rs bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from rs to 30 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch OF
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth 500 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and a little over. Pork brings and
cents a pound. We have about 30
head Of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
1.-THE increase Of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next Is
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
for any man or woman who loves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as splendid country In
which to locate.
Yours very truly,

incidentally, it is interesting to note
that the skill which enables one to de-
tect a counterfeit comes not from
study Of counterfeits, but from
thorough and conscientious familiarity
with the genuine. If a man were
pointed out to you and you were told
that some day another who much re-
sembled him would try to impose upon
you, you would be pretty apt to fix
his features in your mind; you would
not spend any time looking at other
people who looked something like him,
would you? And the moment the i'm
poster appeared you would note that
in this, that or the other particular he
failed to meet the details of the other
mans face and figure. Just so 1t is in
the detection Of counterfeits, says the
National Magazine. A skillful teller In
a bank, counting money rapidly, will
lnvoluntarlly throw out note WHICH
in the slightest degree departs from
the well-known pattern which is so
strongly impressed on his mental
vision. That involuntary act will near
ly always prove to have been justified,
for the bill in 10 cases out of 20 will
prove to be counterfeit. 1t is because
of this fact that when a request is re-
ceived from some one to loan him
collection Of counterfeits for the In
struction Of his cashiers, he is advised
to have the young men study the gen.
uine carefully, and there will be no
trouble in detecting the bad notes.

rifice made in his behalf. Love may be
there in his heart for her, love deep

Let us muse for minute on the
possible history of the silver dollar.
Suppose, if you please, that the lips Of
the regal goddess on that one dollar
could speak, what story they could
tell; what tales of travel, of want, of
luxury, of ambition and of failure, of
happiness or woe, in which this shining
bit of silver had formed silent, yet
all potent factor. Over these warm
cheeks have slipped the carless fingers
of the spendthrift, the touch of the
gambler, the hard graft of the miser,
the frenzied clutch of the opium eater
and the tremulous tumble of the drunk
en- sot; mayhap it has helped to swell
the list of crime. been part in mans
dishonor or a woman's shame. If it
should speak would the record be more
of laughter than of tears? More of
hope than Of dispair? We feel sure

What is noise. Our definition is as fol-

Noise, at first cultivated in this land
by the Indians, has reached its climax
in the college yell. 1t is used at po-
litical conventions, at christenings and
at women's clubs. No monument was
necessary for the man who first in
vented noise His work lives after
him.
Noise is used by cities, which have
the first call for it. They split it up
into as many sounds as possible and
divide it among all.
Noise varies in its volume and in
