seem a reflection on the intelligence or
the reading public to repeat it. 1t IS
not proposed to do so. It's Topographic
cal characteristics are divergent. There
is the level prairie with it's rich deep
loan and underlying subsoil, the high
er and rolling lands with their groves
of timber, the wooded lands rich In
soil. The wants of all can be supplied;
some want one kind and some another
and they can all be suited. The man
who wants to put in his steam plow
and force the energies of the soil INTO
immediate production can be suited.
and so can the man who wishes large
tracts for the same purposes, and at
the same time enjoy the companion
ship of the timber. In man parts 1t
is possible to have a hundred mile
square of wheat, without a break. A
writer says: I'VE were driven west and
north OF Moose Jaw through 20 miles
of dead ripe wheat, acres of stocks and
well-worked summer-fallows. One OF
these fields would yield 40 bushels to
the acre, and another man had oats
that would yield 80 or 100 bushels to
the acre. In his district wheat will
average 81 10 % bushels. III IOiioA
tons were never better and through
out the district the people are assured
of a most prosperous year In the
Melfort district, three hundred miles
in another direction, we hear of a far
mer whose yield of oats will run from
So to 100 bushels per acre; then trav-
cling over another stretch of three
hundred miles the Pipestone district in
Manitoba is reached ana we learn OF
more 80 and 40 bushels to the acre
crops of wheat. So it will be seen that
the splendid crops are not confined TO
one district, but are general throughout
the entire country.
Speaking of his experiences while
travelling through the Canadian West,
Thomas c. Shotwell, financial Editor
OF the New York American, said that
heretofore he had entertained optimis-

tic views regarding the Canadian rail-
roads and lands. but his trip has con-
WINGED him, not only OF the soundness
of his views, but Ii also has established
the conviction that the great expan-
sion of the next few years will be in
Canada's western areas. Il have never

estimated that 10000 people have been

In this article no attention has been
given TO the growth of flax which has
had great attention paid to 1t in some
districts. II is safe to say that in addi-
ton to the lee million bushels OF
wheat. the ITO million bushels of oats
and the 30 million bushels of barley.
there will be owe two million bushels
OF flax. The approximate value OF all
these crops may safely be put at One

Canadian Correspondence:
During the early days in the growth
of the crop in Western Canada, as well
as throughout the ripening and garner
ing period, there is yearly growing an
increasins,i interest throughout the Uni
ted States, as to the probable results
when harvest is completed. These
mean much 10 the thousands of Ameri-
cans who have made their home in
some one of the three Provinces that
form that vast agricultural domain, and
is of considerable interest to the
friends they lave left behind them.
The year 1909 is no disappointment;
it will bring comfort and happiness,
wealth and luxury to those who are
following agriculture as a pursuit in
the country now occupying so much Of
the attention of the world-of this con-

grain fields warrant the note of opti-

He had not nipped them. Instead, he

DECIDE TO SEND FIFTY
CADETS TO INAUGURATION

crowd of loyal citizens and presided
over by President Robert Kellahin,
who announced it's purpose to be TO in
vestigate the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
fifty picked cadets of the Military In
stitute to the inaugural of President
Taft as a showing Of what the Terri
tory has as a claim ON statehood. The
question was soon decided, %fdvorably
to the proposition, and Immediately
means of raising the necessary money
were discussed.
w. NJ. Atkinson and various others
made speeches, setting forth the prop
osition to those who did not know its
details. Many spoke along the line of
making the nove-and practically all
were in favor of it.
The gist of the speeches was that it
would take $1,000 to send fifty cadets.
Three thousand dollars can be secur-
ed from the legislature. The school
can raise $500 and the balance Of ST..
200 must come from Roswell The un-
animous agreement was that the mon
must he secured. Popular s~ubscrip-
ton is the proposed means to that
end.
President Ke1lahin was instructed
to appoint a committee TO raise the
money, and he named j. C. Hamilton.
