hour all England knew beyond cavil
that her fleet had met the same fate
as that which had oyertaken Japau's.
The message in brief was that the Els
peranta had picked UP in mid ocean,
floating on a life raft torn from its
mornings. a sailor wearing the uni
form of the Dreadnought. The man
was almost dead from exposure, and
had not yet recovered sufficiently to
give a coherent account of what had
taken place.

could the story of how the man was

The exact details of this as given by
the captain of the Esperanto to the
ministers of the cabinet who were
summoned threw meager light upon
the case. The Esperanto had gone out
of her usual course. following the Gulf
stream to the northward, until warned
by an American cruiser to take a more
easterly tack. She had done so, thus
bringing her into a less frequented
path Of travel.

man evidently had dashed himself Sc
curely before his strength had failed,
knowing how small were his chances
fer rescue. and how certain his COM
ing weakness. When picked up b. the
Esperanto he was thought to be dead:
but being taken aboard he showed
some signs Of life. and after hours of
work recovered sufficiently to give
some slight hope of survival.
So terrible had been his sufferings
from privation that his mind seemed
unhinsed, and they had been unable
to gather any information from him
save that of some overwhelming dis
aster. He was now in the thrces of
brain fever and talked only the speech

mumblings were beyond all under
standing: his mind seemed to be

which he cried for water and made
absurd comments ON what was passing
in his dreams. There were strangely
interviewer babblings of submarine
boats. sea serpents and unheard of
monsters which harried the ship and
sent her to her doom. Pitiful excla-
nations of helplessness and fear, in
terjections of overwhelming dread,
and brief snatches of prayer came
from his lips throughout all the days
in which they had attended him. The

no other sign of wreckage or of hui

ward. thinking it possible that the
trend of the wind had driven this
lone mariner away from the scene of
catastrophe; but the ocean itself was
a blank. The crest of no wave carried
even a piece of flotsam, nor was
there anywhere clew to the mystery.
The rocking of the foundations of
the world could have created no more
suspense or terror than did the fear
Of this unknown agent of destruction

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE n
FARM LANDS,
SOUTHERN ALBERTA IS
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits Of q 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 so to Western Canada
through the solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 1215'08.
Mr.. c. j. Broughton. Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 135 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 hoGlesteads, and built house,
barn, corralS and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
tngs. 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, ard 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 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having 4 yield in average
years of from 20 to % bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from % to 80 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 40 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and a little over. Pork brings ) and
cents pound. We have about 80
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.
"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
ticn for $500, but We would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
rs we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next Is
months Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is 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 a splendid country in
which to locate.
Yours very truly,
