EIGHTEEN YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
He is NOW ONE or THE HIGHEST
FARMERS I'M 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
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-
tion 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 $25.00 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for w days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at price varying from "a
to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 10000 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 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 1t the sum
of $2,100. 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 a single day being lost
in the two months which were spent
in this work. The wheat averaged %
bushels to the acre and graded No. i
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.

There was enough going on in front
Of the big grandstands Wednesday
afternoon to stock a three ring circus.
The harness races were run on time
by judge c. E. Hunter, the running
races were pulled off without the usual
tiresome waiting for the books to be
made, and the relay race was put
through with a snap and everyone got
back to town in time for dinner. Dur
ing the afternoon the masSed bands
gave a concert in front of the grand

sings to beat the band gave a Sc

cension helped to make Ell Paso day
complete success.
After the races many of the people
remained on the grounds for the car
nival in the evening. The fair grounds
were Illuminated before the crowds
left on the street cars and the illumi-
nation was as interesting to many as
the exhibits.

ON THE TRAIL AT
THE FAIR: SIGHTS

From the figure eight to the last
struggling lunch stand. the Overland
Trail is one long snake of people and
lights, hustle and bang. It begins at
dusk and keeps up far into the night.
1t is quite the liveliest place at the
fair.
One may win cigar-how good
one never knows-by ringing a BELL
hitting a bulls eye. FASTING rag ba-
bies, or almost any way. The visitor
may stumble through the bug house
or see a musical comedy show, eat
hamburger or drink lemonade. 1t is
carnival show and a circus all in one.
Bankers bark a tumble of noises
along Overland Trail. 1t begins with
a lunch stand and ends nobody knows
where. There are half a dozen big"
shows, with fronts as brilliant as a
Bowery nickelodeon, and ballyhomen
as persistent as a South Clark street
paWnbroke r.
At the end of the trail are some real,
sure huff indians, who dance and sing
as only indians are permitted to. But
the indians of copper hue are very
tame on the trail as compared to the
pale face indians-that is, on Overland
Trail, at the Ell Paso Fair.

FL PASO DAY At THE FAIR PROVES
BIC EVENT; ATTENDANCE IS IMMENSE

Surprising the first annual celebra-
ton of FL Paso day at the fair, the
Ell Paso day crowd Wednesday broke
all previous records for attend
ance at the fair and exposition.
AS early as 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning the crowds began flow
ing through the turnstiles at the
main entrance of the grounds and by
10 o'clock the main exhibition build
ing was crowded with holiday folks
enjoying ali OF the sights of the big
show.
At noon the domestic picture was
pleasing one, for the big fair grounds
were dotted with picnic parties en-
Joying their lunch under the cotton
wood trees or on the comfortable park
benches
The crowds continued to enter the
grounds until the going was almost
blockaded in the merchants and man
ufacturers' building. The booths were
doing big business in free souvenirs
and even the Trail shows got little
business.
BY afternoon the grounds were filled
TO capacity. The colonnade was mass
Of people, the Trail was not half big
enough to accommodate the trailers
and the grandstands filled as if by
magic. Before the first race was call
ed, the old grandstand was crowded
and the new one filling rapidly. BY
the middle of the afternoon all of the
boxes, both grandstands and the north
bleachers were filled and the paddock
was crowded with men laying an occa-
sional bet to back up their Judgment
OF the horses. 1t was a splendid show
ing for the first big day of the fair
and the directors and officials of the
Fair association were more than pleas

had received. President Bassett, secre-
tary Rich and assistant secretary Glenn
ents were in different parts of the
grounds all the time to see that the
crowds were cared for and that no
confusion resulted At one time presi-
