The growing scarcity Of timber has
caused the government to try to find
a use for all of it. Laboratories we're
established to investigate the value
for pulp purposes of various abundant
woods and to save the valuable spruce

WESTERN ekNADA's SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1903.
AMERICANS PROFlTED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK SATlSEAc-
TORY REPORTS.

The census branch of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada.
has completed its returns of the show
ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield Of about 1O7, COO. 900
bushels, worth to the farmer about
SIS, 00O, 900; in addition to this the cat.
barley and fax crops were worth an
other $35,000,00O. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these.
that of Rev. Oscar l.. King has been
selected. He lives in the vicinity of
Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest to those who con-
template moving to Central Canada.
Every line of the letter is interesting.
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
Mr.. NJ. v. McInrnes, Detroit, Mich
igan: l am well satisfied with Al
berta. This country offers excellent
opportunities for anyone to make a
good home for himself and family
IL he is willing to put up with few
hard knocks for the first two or three
years. But it is worth a few hard
knocks to get a 16O-acre farm of rich,
productive land with no mortgage on
it. This province is well fitted for
grains, stock raising and dairying. We
have found the climate generally
healthful, more kealthful than Mich
igan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
zero in winter, yet We do not seem to
feel that temperature any more than
We did 5 or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.
THE Government takes great inter-
est in the education of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establish
ing schools where they are called for.
The schools, though graded differently
than those in the States, are efficient
and advancing. Our great drawback
has been the limited and inadequate
railway facilities, but new roads are
being rapidly built and many more
are projected through various parts
of the province. The new policy of
the Alberta government to construct
a great many branch lines throughout
the province will greatly help all parts
of the country. If those new settlers
who have to go back a considerable
distance from existing railroads and
towns to find free homesteads will
but locate along the line of q project
ed railroad they will in two or three
years be near both town and railroad.
When l first came to this country
three AID a half years ago the home
stead l took was IS miles from rail-
road town; now there is a railroad %
miles north, another % miles south,
and a third is being built through my
neighborhood.

MANY CITIES ASK
FOR AVIATION MEET
Effort Will Be Made to Schedule
Series of Races in All
Large Cities.

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-Instead OF hav-
ing one week of aerial flights for the
international aviation meet which ls to
be held in this country next year, the
Aero Club OF America is now planning
a carnival. TO continue at least month
in various cities. SO many cities have
offered large sums for the big event
that IL has been found advisable to ef-
feet different arrangement, particularly
as II has been feared that the prizes
for the international events would not
induce all OF the leading European avia-
tors TO come to this country.
II is now proposed TO have meetings at
Baltimore, st, Louis, Cincinnati. and
Angeles, one following the other and all
terminating with the International con-
test In this way the club believes that
all OF the cities will be satisfied and
that II Will place this country In the
lead in aviation affairs.

The food supplies consisted Of sugar,
pemmican, biscuits, cheese, plasmon,
chocolate, tea, cocoa, "cmcrgepcy ra-

which has great heat-giving properties,
was an important item. The biscuits
weighed about twelve to the pound, and
were made of whole meal, with % per

The pcmmican was made of the best
