'QUANI1TY, QUAIL
uY AND PRICE,
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.


ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vious years in proving that this Dor
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing splendid yield of all the
smaller grains. but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity. quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 800, 900
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing 1t no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made. but it Is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 100 million bush
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; 1t may be interest
ing to know that In the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards. and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac
tor in the making of prices. II SO to-
day. what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with total yield of 125 or 100
million bushels, there will be from II
to 30 million acres in wheat with q
yield of from 325 to 600 million bush
els. When 1t is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast. for Canada has the land and 1t
has the soil. Even today the Prov
:ace of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can
ada. with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield Of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin |
ming of its development. AS Lord |
Grey recently pointed out in speaking |
on this very subject, this years crop |
does not represent one-tenth of the |
sol! equally fertile that Is yet to be |
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and |
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores |
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The |
farmer. who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early. is
certain OF a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi- !
dents in that country and who are |
vastly instrumental in the assistance |!
they are rendering to let the world |
know its caDabilities

well as the aid of other wireless telegraphy experts
The original kite messages via the artificial birds
sent aloft by DIR. Bell were transmitted a distance
of only six miles. but gradually this was increased
until the transmission attained hundreds of miles
and included the exchange of aerOgrams with
steamers more than 100 miles at sea- In one ex

NEW FIXTURES FOR

A complete Transformation has
been wrought during the last few
days in the Mills Brothers Maber-
dashery. At an expense of $4,000,
mahogany fixtures have been in
stalled throughout the store. AS a
result the general appearance has
been changed to that of the most
modern and metropolitan clothing
and furnishing emporium. Another
equally important achievement is
the economy of valuable room
effected.
All the fixtures were purchased
from the Luke Manufacturing COM
pany, of Portland, Ore. They in

shoes and furnishings, mirrors, brass
ratings, three new plate glass show
cases with mrable bases and some

The big stock of clothing has dis
appeared fro mthe tables which for
merly crowded the center of the
floor, all now being housed in the
elegant cabinets. The coats hang
upon sliding racks while the trou-
sers lie in piles on sliding shelves
underneath.
A dressing room is concealed in
one of the cabinets, while plate glass
mirrors on swinging doors are on
three adjacent cabinets. These are
so operated as to form a triplicate
mirror for use in displaying suits to
customers.
The shoe department is in the rear,
where Wilton rugs and comfortable
settees lend the air of a mems club.
An office is being fitted up above the
display windows.
All in all it is difficult to imagine
a more beautiful, convenient and
economical arrangement than is now
effected in the model store of the
Mills Brothers Haberdashery.
