EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
LAND VALUES.

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 determine
ton to succeed. This is why we re-
produce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were
induced to 60 to Western Canada
through the solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them low railway rates.
Carmangay, Alta, Canada. Dec. 10, O8.
Mr. G. ]. Broughton, Canadian Govern
ment 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 adjoining. We
fenced three sections and the two home
steads and built house, barn, corrals
and granary and have since enlarged
some Of these buildings. We have
broken 200 acres of land, which has
been sowed to oats and wheat. During
tie severe winter Of two years ago
the winter wheat killed out somewhat
and our crop yielded only ten bushels
to the acre, but the spring wheat went
"a bushels to the acre. In this coun-
try we must be prepared for storms
and cold, at times 20 to 90 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 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 BUSH
els 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 little
over. Pork brings and 6 cents a
pound. We have about 30 head of cat
tie on our ranch now, and last winter
they picked their entire living from our
pasture, running to the straw stacks
for shelter at night.
The increase Of land value has been
extraordinary. Our land four years
ago cost us a little less than $500
an acre. We have sold one section for
$500, but we would not sell any more
for less than $500 per acre, as we ex-
pect the railroad within four miles Of
our ranch within the next is months.
Southern Alberta of Western Canada is
mighty good country for any man or
woman who loves outdoor life and who
wants to get good returns for their la
Dor and Investment
We have been pleased with cur treat
ment from the Canadian government
and can heartily commend Southern
Alberta as a splendid country in which
to locate.
Yours very truly.

Packey Mcfarland and
Johnny Thompson Fight

I celebrities of the old days, Van made
name for himself in eastern circles
and was counted as one of the great
felders OF his day.
Going back to his early history 1t
may be said that Van Haltren first
broke into the game as catcher with
the Emerald club of Oakland, this be-
ing in 1888. Some few years later, this
team adopted the name OF the Green
hood and Morgans and joined the Cal
ifornia league. From the position OF
catcher RIP" developed into slab
artist and Immediately jumped into
fame. For two years Van used his left
wing to good advantage and by reason
OF his curves and change of pace es-
tablished himself as one of the top
notcners in the country. On the Ala
media diamond he made his first big
record, when he famed fifteen mem
bers of the St Louis Browns In a
game, and as a reward for this act,
was given a place on the pitching staff
Of the original Chicago White SoX
team by Pop Arson. His first sea-
son in the box in big company was n
record-breaker and nothing was too
good for the California southpaw. Then
his control slipped away from him and
Van went to the outfield, which posi-
tlon he has played since 1886 up to
the present day. He played several
seasons with the Chicago club and
then went to Baltimore. At this per
iod of mis- career the big magnates
engaged in warfare and Van Haltren
donned the uniform of the Brooklyn
club In the Brotherhood league. This
was in 1890 and the following season
found him member of the Pittsburg
team. He became so popular in the
Stogie City that the management of
the New York Giants went after him
After some difficulty Vans release was
purchased from Pittsburg and for the
next ten years RIP" became fix
ture in the center garden.
1t was in sliding to second base at
the Polo grounds in 1903 that Van Hal
tren fractured his leg at the ankle and
was temporarily withdrawn from the
struggle AT the time the doctors
were certain that the famous outfelder
would never play again, when 10! and
behold! RIP" jumped back into the
game and played rings around his
team mates. In 1904 Van Haltren de-
parted from New York TO take charge
of the Seattle club He did so we'll as
a manager that he was engaged to
guide the Commuters.

lRy Edward w. Smith,

Chicago. June 15.-There Is going to
be a fight between Packey Mcfarland
Iof this city and Johnny Thompson, the
|Sycamore Cyclone" II the bitter feel
ing that cropped out yesterday and
last evening is any indication of what
will happen.
"Thompson?" remarked Gilmore,
Packeys manager, to Larney Lichten-
stein. Thompson's guide. Thompson
going to fight Nelson, eh? Tell me
where does Thompson come in, any
way"
HE comes in to tnis extent" was
the quick retort from the Thompson
camp, that IL he ever meets your star
in a long fight he'll knock his head of.
Yes, and for a side bet. too
This rapid-fire conversation took
place in the Chicago American office.
where the two managers CHANGED to
meet, botn looking for some news from
San Francisco regarding a fight there
July OF September 9 with Battling
Nelson. Gilmore had been expecting
word for several days that Promoter
Coffroth had succeeded in getting Mel
son to sign up, and Lichtenstein was
looking for the news that Nelson had
sidetracked Packey and would take on
the cyclone instead.
OF course, neither knew what the
other was after-of course not-but
the feeling was a trifle strained and
the opening conversation a bit labor
ed.
ITS surprising how all these light
weights bar Thompson In the challen-
I ,oh tnfy
1T seems that ever since he trimmed
up Mickey Cannon down east and put
him out of business completely that
nobody will have anything to do with
Johnny. Welsh was offered a meeting
in New York, but suggested that some
body else beat Thompson first. We Of
fered to stop Tommy Murphy or Leach
Cross, but they were as deaf as posts"
well, l have good ears. and If [
heard a noise like a good purse you
would find me right on the job" GIL
more remarked 1T wouldn't matter
much whether it was Thompson or
Nelson or anybody else, as long as we
were assured of nice bit for winning.
Thompson. Ell? Tell ME, where does
he come in?"
That started fireworks plenty, and
the men were in a sharp wrangle when
the offer of the bet was made. The
managers were split out wnen on the
verge Of personalities and said that
they would seize the very first oppor-
tunity to clinch up match between
their fighters.
There seems to be little doubt that
this would result in one OF the best
lightweight encounters We have had
in many long day, and If 1t were de-
cided within a reasonable distance Of
Chicago the local fans would fairly
swarm to see the meeting.
With both OF the men hot on the
trail of Battling Nelson for q fight for
the title, first one and then the other
seeming to have the better of the
chase, there is little wonder that feel
Ing has developed between the men
and that it should crop out In this
first meeting of the managers.
Packey Is tied up with Phil Knight
at Kansas City at the present time,
but there is no chance of that match
standing in the way Of meeting with
Thompson If purse Is offered some
where
The old argument over weighing in
time still stands in the way of Pack
ey-Nelson match.
