WESTEN
GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust. Anderson of Maidstone, Sask,
was formerly of Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16. 1910, he writes:
ARRIVING fifteen miles from Maid
stone, l bought a couple of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen l brought
with me, | broke 25 acres which | put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. / earned $4,000 by breaking
fifteen acres for a neighbor and dur.
ing the summer l put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding a
heavy frost on August 18th, | had 221a
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats. Off 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, / got 81 bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats off
20 acres. ] neve saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days. Water car be had at from 20
to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat
tle."
The evidence Of Mr.. Anderson is
given because !. is encouraging to the
man OF small means who is DESTROYS
of lettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total Of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,S47 of high
grade stuff, a percentage of S4.2S. For
January the percentage was S2.21, and
for the six months it was $50. This
is an unusually high average, and it
demonstrates beyond the shadow Of a
doubt that the farmers in this part
OF the Dominion still know how to
grow first-class wheat. The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
it's average of contract wheat was
only 20 per cent. Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long time to come.
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for a term of years
will be maintained.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri-

In the little town of Hannibal. Mo-. on
November 30, 1895.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,
came from an old Virginia family. and
with his young wife. Elizabeth Lamp
ton, a descendant of the early settlers
of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies In the early part of the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncouth environment of the
then little frontier town of Hannibal
the famous author spent his ~boyhood
days. Here he fished. hunted and
lounged along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living a healthy
outdoor existence, which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life. in the face
of his many Affections.
He attended the little school. but
not being of a very studious DISPOSE
ton, he learned far mor from con
tact with the rough companions whom
he immortalized in later years as
"Huckleberry Finn" and Tom Saw
yer" and others of their type.
At the age of twelve his meager
school education was brought TO a
sudden close by the death Of his IA.
Their.
His older brother. Orion S. Glenn
ems, was the proprietor of a printing
shop In the village, and young Sam
Clemens began his journalistic career
there as a printers devil" In the
course OF a few years he learned the
trade as a compositor. and in 1853 he
left his native town and began a wan
dering existence. He journeyed from
place to place. working at his trade in
New York and the principal cities OF
the middle west.
But while he gained a vast amount
of experience during his travels. which
proved Of the greatest value in the
preparation of some of his works In
later years, this period was rather IN
profitable from a financial standpoint
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks Of the
great river. in rather Strengthened cir
cumstance.

Dummy Guns Used.

Two Of the convicts were at work

were in the tailor shop. A Union Pa.

whistle, the men dashed into the yard

The engine, with the convicts
aboard, rushed through the west gate

the escape became known, a few min

prison was sounded at a warning to
farmers to be on the lookout. The
whistle may be heard for miles and

the same time, heavily armed guards
were placed around the gates to pre-

Two Are Recaptured.

When the engine had reached a
point half a mile from the prison, the
five men jumped to the ground and
made for the woods. Clark and Gid
con separated from the others and
Dol were captured. Then every
available guard, led by Deputy Lemon,
started after the other three men. A
half mile further on, the trio was sur
rounded in the woods. Although the
convicts are all desperate men, what
is believed their only weapons were
guns made Of wood and painted in the
carpenter shop.
Hating was employed for FIVE years
as an engineer on the Lake Shore rail
road and he assumed the leadership
when the engine started. He directed
Charles Curtain, the engineer, to
throw her wide open" and told Fire,
man Millard Heeter to shovel coal las
he had never shoveled before"
When the engine had arrived at a
point where the road was surrounded
on both sides by heavy timber the en-
gineer and firemen we're instructed to
kill" the engine. Then the despera'
does forced the engineer and fireman
to disrobe and two of the convicts ap,
propriated their garments. The men
started to force the guard to disrobe
also, but Hewett said enough time
had been wasted and the men plunged
into the woods. The trainmen then
fired the engine and rushed it back to
the prison. Clark and Gideon were
placed in solitary confinement when
returned to the prison.
