SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.


Up in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield so hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiva-
tion of the lands in these provinces.
Almost any section of the country will
do as well.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
In the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break 1t
up and crop it, make $17,550 out OF
the yield and $10,S80 out of the increase
of value all within the short period
of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, a well known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the $40 acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 900
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats.
The wheat yielded 1885 bushels, and
the oats yielded 4750 bushels. The
whole of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth SIT, $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $35 an acre,
just a SIT advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost $11,320 in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures of the case.-Land cost, GAO
acres, at SIS, $11,s2O. Wheat yielded
1876 bushels, at 81 cents bushel,
$16,695. Oats yielded 4,750 bushels
at % cents a bushel, 1855. Offered
for land, $40 acres at $35 an acre,
$22, ,40C. Increase value of land, $40, $50.
Total earnings of crop, $17,55O, togeth-
er with increase in value of land to-
tai of $2S,540.
1t is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 331a bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are a fair indication of the aver
age throughout the district.
Agents of the Canadian Government
in the different cities will be pleased
to give you information as to rates, etc.

Managua. Nicaragua Santos
Zelaya has resigned from the
presidency of Nicaragua. Apparently
there was no other course for him to
take The people were at last aroused.
The guns of the revolutionists threat

Managua has been seething for
days. The spirit of the revolt has
spread even to the gates of the palace.
Ielaya has surrounded himself with
an armed guard. Unchecked. the pop
ulace have marched through the
streets, crying for the end of the old,

from that which the king showered on
her.
When the unhappy queen heard her
husband had given to this woman her
favorite string of pearls she tried to com
NIT suicide by choking herself with a
string not much larger than that on
which the pearls were strung.
But ii was the Kongo that gave to Leo
pold the bulk of his great fortune on
certain well established data 1t has been
reckoned that the kings personal profits
were not less than $50 200, 600 before the
Belgian government annexed the kongo
Free State and paid him $10,000,o0O for
his private territory. the infamous crown
domain.
The Berlin congress of 1885 handed
over the Kongo to Leopold to admins
ter. The world applauded his magma
nimity, and forgot the Kongo for the
next 20 years.
In 1891 Leopold applied to the Belgian
parliament for a loan of $1,000, 900, with
out interest, to be spent on the Kongo,
producing at the same time the cele-
brated will by which he bequeathed the
state to the Belgian people. The gov
ernment readily granted the loan. For
the next five years the country was be-
ing filled with arms an army was being
raised and drilled by European officers,
stations and a railway were being built.
Nothing in the way of preparation for
the carrying of the great plot escaped
Leopold's genius for organization. He
proceeded slowly and secretly, bluffing
European statesmen, hoodwinking his
own people, lulling the conscience of Eu-
rope through his press bureau, isolating
the Free State from inquisitive Euro
peans, violating in the most brazen man
ner the provisions of the Berlin act
which provided for free trade In the
state.
He set aside for himself the great
crown domain. a territory ten times as
large Belgium. Every human being
and every scrap OF wealth within that
domain belonged to Leopold. The Kongo
on side the crown domain was divided up
among concessionaire companies, who
We're given an almost free hand and were
accorded the protection of the native
army to stimulate" the natives in gath
cring rubber. The king held the ma iOr-
ity of the shares in these companies,
which brought to him many millions in
dividends. actual blood money wealth
won at the cost of innumerable lives and
untold suffering on the part of the black
slaves And the king continued to draw
profits from these companies until his
death, although the profits lessened with
the years through exhaustion and due to
the bettering conditions through count
less exposures by missionaries, consuls
and travellers.

PRINCE AlBERTlS NEW RULER
Dead Monarch Will Always be Re-
membered for His Escapades and
the Tragedies that Have Be-

Brussells.-King Leopold is dead,
his aged and wasted body be-
ing unable to stand the strain put up
on it. The collapse occurred sudden
ly and at a moment when the doctors
seemingly had had the greatest hopes
for his recovery.
King Leopold's recent illness dated
from about two weeks ago, when he
was compelled to take to his bed, suf-
fering from rheumatism. 1t was
thought at the time that he had a
stroke of apopleXy, for he was par
alyZed on one side and the paralysis
seemingly spread over the entire
body. His confinement brought about
intestinal obstruction. for which an
operation had been performed.

age. He married Princess Elizabeth
of Bavaria in 1900. The royal pair

Leopold, aged eight; Prince Charles
aged six, and Princess Marie Jose
aged three
1t has been learned that the only
person at the royal bedside when the
king died besides the physicians was
Baroness Vaughan, and it has just
been announced by the chaplain at
Laeken that the king was married
secretly according to religious rites to
the baroness by whom he had two
children. The chaplain says H. is not
true that the last sacrameuts were ad-
ministered TO the king in the presence
of the whole royal family as was Off
Cially stated. The ceremony was per-
formed in the presence of The bar

REVIEW OF DRY
GOODS MARKET

New York, October 17.-Cotton goods
have been selling more freely at higher
prices, especially In the fabrics of print
cloth yarn construction for printers,
bleachers, jobbers and converters. Fall
River sold 10000 pieces during the week,
of which about $4,000 pieces were for
future delivery, running into March of
next year. Prices have advanced u cent
to u cent yard. Bleached goods have
been advanced a second time the base
price of 10 cents a yard now ruling on
fruit of the loom bleached muslins. Yarns
have been advanced, but sales are only
moderate. Coarse yarn goods have not
yet felt the influence of larger demand
in the proportion noted in print cloth
yarn goods. Fine oottons are also slow
selling in first hands.
Mills are now being forced to buy cot
ton at the higher prices and they are
laying a price foundation on cloths that
will secure them against loss. Curtail-
ment of production has virtually been
agreed upon by managers representing
more than 10000, 900 spindles, this meas
ure being protective for the mills rather
than antagonistic to the market If the
country is ready to pay the high prices
cotton goods must command when made
from high-priced material, curtailment
will be unnecessary, but selling agents
think there will be restricted con-
sumption In consequence of higher prices.
General dry goods trade is making
steady progress, more activity being
noted in dress goods, mems wear. under
wear and hosiery, ready-to-wear mer-
chandise, etc.
