ern Canada than in the corn belt OF
the United States. You can get your
food cheaper and the climate is bet
ter for the purpose. We have q bet
ter market, but your market will i'm
prove faster than your farmers Will
produce the supplies. Winter wheat
can be grown in one-half OF the coun-
try through which have passed, and
alfalfa and one Of the varieties OF
clover in three.fourths Of 1t. The
farmers do not believe this, but II Is
true"
Keeping pace with wheat produc-
ton, the growth Of railways has been
quite AS wonderful, and the whole
country from Winnipeg TO the Rocky
Mountains will soon be network OF
trunk and branch lines. Three great
transcontinental lines are pushing
construction in every direction. and
at each siding the grain elevator Is
to be found. Manitoba being the
first settled province, has now an Gle
yator capacity of upwards of $4,000 900
bushels, Saskatchewan 10000 90, and
Alberta about 100000, while the ca
pacity of elevators ut Fort William
and Port Arthur. on the Great Lakes,
Is upwards of 10000 600 more.
Within the provinces Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta there are
-four and oatmeal mills with a COM
bined capacity of $4,000 barrels per
day. and situated along some famous
water powers In New Ontario, there
are larger mills than will be found
anywhere in the Prairie Provinces.
Last year the wheat crop totaled
over 1OO.0O0,O0O bushels. This year
the crop will yield 10000, 600 more A

100 acres each. OF this enormous ter
ritory, there is probably under crop
at the present time less than l1OO0,-
900 acres: what the results will be

500 Reward. 500.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure In all
its stages, and that Is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being,a constitution
al disease, requires constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure Is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature In
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faib in it's curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that 1t fails to cure.

The Confederate Veterans and

a joint meeting in the firemen's club
rooms Monday afternoon in honor
of the memory of Jackson and Lee.

lightful program was rendered. Mr..
w. J.. p Leigh acted as master of
ceremonies. Capt. w. j. F. Ross
spoke on the life of Jackson and Col.
b. f. Marchbanks was eloquent in a
tribute to Lee. There were songs by
Miss Nora Fears and Miss Lilly Mil
Ter, both of whom added much to
the pleasure of the entertainment.

At the Majestic.

There is certainly enough high
class variety of advanced vaudeville
on the Majestic's bill this week to
please the most fastidious. The pro-
gram is the best yet and each and
every act is a distinct feature within
itself. Pat Levolo starts things with
a sensational wire act in which he
pulls off some remarkably clever
stunts. He seems to be perfectly at
home on a slack wire. and handles
himself with as much ease and grace
as q young woman on ball room
floor One of his difficult tricks is to
place a ladder on the wire, set a
lighted lamp on his head, mount to
the third or fourth rung in the lad
der and while standing on one foot
juggle three Indian clubs.
Miss Marie Snowdon is a sweet
singer and the most graceful dancer
yet to appear on the Majestic $
stage There is grace and art in every
movement as she toe-steps across the
stage in perfect unison with the mu-
sic. Miss Snowdon is sixteen years
old and is accompanied on tour by
her mother
Gray & Miller close the perform
ance with a splendid bit of comedy
acting They sing and dance and in
ject many little witticisms into their
performance. Any one who can wit
ness their work and not laugh is IN
need of a physician.
