EXUM WILL SEND COUNCIL 4 MESSAGE Will Urge Crematory Be Built
 at Once SUGGESTS FLUSH CARTS Believes They Will Be Great Aid in Keeping Down Dust and Also
 in Cleaning the
 Streets
FLUSH CARTS

Mayor Exums message to the counci will be the big feature of tomorrow s meeting He will bring three subjects before the aldermen for their considera- tion, and will make number of recom- mendations along the line of improve ment.
 He will urge upon them the necessity of securing a crematory for Birming- ham at the earliest possible moment While in Atlanta recently he took occa- sion to investigate the crematory there and to look into the matter thoroughly. He thinks the city has delayed too long already
 The Mayor will also recommend the ex- penditure of about 5000 to put the North Birmingham lighting plant in shape to continue in operation, that its practica- biity and possibilities may be further tested.
 Another subject In which he Is in- tensely interested Is the improvement of street conditions in Birmingham. He has asked for list of all street work now under way, the dates of beginning and the progress now being made on the con- tracts. and if they are not being carried out, or are being unnecessarily delayed he proposed to find the reason and rem edy 1t.
 Mayor Exum hopes that his adminis- tration will do great things in good street building, and he wants to establish g record along that line.
 Suggests Flush Carts
 "There is one thing" he said yester. day, that I think the city of Birming- ham should buy at once, and that Is g supply of modern flush carts which are used in all large cities The investment would pay for itself in a short while | and I am sure that the merchants would be willing to pay for the service them selves if it were removed after they finc | its advantages.
 These carts. or water wagons, sinpl, wash the streets clean. The water il under powerful pressure, and it sweeps all dirt and trash into the sewers. Dus is entirely done away with. It would do the work of the street gang in hall the time and much better.'' | Conference on Arc Contracts
 The Mayor has not signed the ligh | contract for the city's arc lights, anc will not do so until 1t has gone back tc 1 the council. The council at it's las meeting instructed the Mayor to sign tht same contract of 1900, and this has beer | found to be out of the question as there were many provisions In the 1900 con- | tract which the council did not intend to | incorporate in the new agreement. The | legislative committee, which Is thu Mayors committee, kind of cabinet has been called to meet in his offic, tomorrow morning, when a contract wil
 be drawn up, satisfactory to both tn, light company and the city. leasing tn, lights for five years at S70 each. ThI. will have to be passed by the counci before the official signatures are affixed
 The Mayor was overwhelmed witt | questions yesterday about the rumoi which gained circulation to the effect that certain blind tigers would be closed up. He gave the same answer to all simply that he expected the police de- partment to enforce all the laws. showing | no favoritism.

EIGHTEEN YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
HE IS NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST
FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN,
CENTRAL CANADA.

Arriving In Canada In 1891, just
eighteen years ago, e. A. Guillomin
could speak but his native language.
He is a Frenchman. He had but
a little over two dollars in his pocket,
thus being short over seven dollars of
the ten dollars required to secure en-
try for a homestead of one hundred
and sixty acres. He eventually bor-
rowed the money and near Forget,
Saskatchewan, he started life In Can
ada on the homestead in which to-day
he Is the fortunate possessor of fifty
quarter sections Of land, or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillomin did not acquire
all these acres as result altogether Of
his farming operations, which were
extensive. He looked with satisfac-
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful,
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about $500 per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some of which
he can sell at $500 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 541s days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at a price varying from 81
to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still $4,000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
bushels of fax. He owns 104 horses
and a number of cattle, but since the
construction of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat
This year he bought his first thresh-
ing machine, paying for it the sum
of $1,000. He estimates that the ma
chine earned for him this fall $4,000,
thus paying for itself in one season
and leaving 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing, not single day being lost
in the two months which were spent
In this work. The wheat averaged %
bushels to the acre and graded No. 1
and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine
years seven good crops have been har-
vested on this farm. For six success
sive years the returns were excellent,
that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1908,
1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two fol-
lowing years there was partial fail
ure. AS the years have passed the
quality of the buildings on the farm
have been steadily improved, and are
now as good as can be found in the
district. About $4,000 has been In
vested in this way by Mr.. Guillomin.
The farm consists of $3.50 acres, Of
which about 5000 acres were under
crop this season.
