AGED LADY
WAS LOST

Mrs. Nj. Liscomb had an ex-
perience last week which she
hopes will never occur again.
She started from her place Tues
day for James Mulkey's ranch,
one and a half miles distant. The
weather was fcggy and she be-
came lost, wandering about ten
miles from home. She was dis
covered by camp tender who
took her in and gave her some
thing to eat and then took her to
James Mulkey's place. From
here Mrs. Liscomb was taken
home by her son, Elmer Cate.
The first night the wolves came
close to her every time she sat
down to rest, and she felt that
her only safety was to keep NOV
ing, although she did not know
what direction to go. Mrs. Lis
comb is GA years of age, and her
friends, over 100 Of whom were
preparing to search for her. fear
ed that they would not find her
alive. She spent three nights
alone in Norman Blacks shanty,
not daring to leave sight of the
place for fear that she would not
again find shelter. The fact that
she went through this adventure
with not much more than foot
soreness caused by wearing new
shoes, is a miracle.
Once she heard a voice-per-
haps that of a sheep herder-
which she answered, but could
not tell from whence the sound
came. Another time she heard
the faint tones Of a piano, but
these did not help her. She had
nearly given up in despair when
she was picked up from the cold
earth and taken to safety and
now lives to tell of the many
wierd experiences that occurred
on the foggy prairies of Custer
County.
Mrs. Liscomb and relatives wish
to thank those who assisted in
the searching party. Seminal.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE
MAY BE GRANTED

sections of the state places many
newcomers in straitened finan-
cial circumstances until the next
crop season and gives rise to
m:.ny inquiries as to the provis-
ION made by the government to
enable them to make a living un-
der such conditions and still hold
their claims, says the Great Falls
Tribune. AS a matter of fact,
the government does not expect
the impossible of the homesteader
and has provided for just such
emergencies. as will be seen by
the law as quoted below. Nearly
if not quite. all of the home
steaders of the state may obtain
leave of absence for the coming
winter under that clause of the
which permits of granting of a
leave of absence for total or
partial destruction or failure of
crops.' Inquiry at the local
land Office obtaines the following
as a statement of the rules under
which leave of absence may be
obtained:
/. Applications for leave of
absence may be sworn to before
the register or receiver or before
any officer using a seal and
authorized to administer oaths.
2. The law authorizes regis
ters and receivers to grant leave
of absence for a period not ex-
ceeding one year at any one time,
subject to the approval of the
commissioner of the general land
office, whenever it shall be made
to appear that the settler is un-
able by reason Of total or par
tial destruction or failure of
crops, sickness or other unavoid-
able casualty, to secure support
for himself, herself or those de-
pendent on him or her, upon the

8. In each case full particu-
lars should be given in the aprli-
cation, which should state the
failure or destruction of crops,
if the crops have failed or been
destroyed, to what extent and
the cause thereof. In case of
sickness what disease or injury
and to what extent claiment is
prevented thereby from continu-
ing on the land, and certificate
from the physician in attendance
setting forth the facts should al
so be furnished. In the case of
''other unavoidable casualty"
the character cause and extent
thereof and it's effect upon the
land or the clairent should be
stated.
4. Residence must be estab-
lished upon the land within six
months after date of entry and
additional time cannot be granted
within which to establish such
residence, nor will the leave of
absence be granted unless bona

established upon the land.
5. The time of actual resi-

Cross Between Hackney and American
Trotter

NroSS 6etWeen rfackney anu american
Trotter.
A horse of quite exceptional interest,
prospective candidate for Olympia,
was seen at some Easter sports at
Barchington, Kent, where he was be-
ing trained to face the hustle Of Olym-
pia, says The London Daily Mail. April
20.
The horse. named Chanticler by his
owner and breeder. Walter Winans, is
in pace and action and appearance an
American trotter. Some of these Amer
lean trotters can trot mile in about
two minutes, or even less, but the var
iety has never been cultivated in Eng
land. Chanticler is indeed the first
trotting horse at all equal to the Amer
lean ever bred in England His sire
is an English hackney--Sir Walter Gil.
bey's Brave Member-and his dam a
famous trotting mare Lady Brilliant,
belonging to Mr. Winans.
The intention is to establish this
cross between the English hackney and
the American trotter as a new breed,
and very considerable experiment is
being made at Surrender Park. If
other horses of the quality of Chanti-
cler can be bred, the breed, at the worst
very interesting. should have great
success in England.

CANADA ATTRACTS
AMERICAN WEALTH
IMMIGRANTS FROM THE UNITED
STATES CARRY NEARLY $780,
100000 INTO DOMINION nv
ELEVEN MONTHS.

Washington, April 14.--More thar
$4,000 American citizens, with from
$1,000 to $4,000 each, practically ali
farmers and the heads of families, ex-
patriated themselves between March
81, 1909, and March /, 1910. They went
from all portions of the United States
but particularly from the middle west
to take up homesteads in Canada. The
full number OF persons who went from
the United States to Canada in this
period was s5,370.
These figures were compiled as the
result of an investigation which has
just been completed by Commissioner
of immigration General Keefe. The
figures and information which have
been gathered by the commissioner
general have surprised him, and the
influx Of American farmers into Cam
ada will be called to the presidents
attention, and efforts will be made to
stem the tide.
The investigation which has inst
been completed disclosed the fact that
the best type of farmers of the middle
west were the ones who were selling
SAS AAA NAAAG NO01GAy dLlu taking InGlT
money to Canada, there to take up fer
tile government land. The bureau of
immigration estimates that the amount
of money taken from this country by
the $3.50 persons who left this conn
try to make their future homes under
the British flag averages $1,000 to a
man, this being, 1t is said, a conserva-
tive estimate. In the period from
March 81, 1909, to March /, 1910 the
sum of $95,371 900 was taken into Can
ada. The investigation also disclosed
that since March 81, 1897. down TO
March l, 1909, 425,460 persons left the
United States permanently to reside In
Canada. II they took with them the
same average amount as those who left
between March 81, 1909, and March 1.
1910, they took $425,261 600.
In all, therefore, the emigrants have
taken into Canada s520s320 600 since
1897 practically all in gold.
OF the 95:370 persons who left in the
last year 57,776 were American born.
and 1884 were aliens who had come
TO the United States.
The middle west contributed the
bulk of American farmers who have
sold out their lands and belongings
and taken UP permanent homes in
Canada. In the last year Minnesota
has lost 3,464 heads of families: North
Dakota, 1,741; South Dakota. 522.
Michigan, 514; Washington, $40; wis
consin, ATT: Iowa, 43O; Illinois. a6
Montana, 1874; and varying numbers
from every state in the union. New
York contributing $50.
According to figures given out at
the bureau today in January. Febru-
airy and March of this year 244. se7 inn
migrants arrived in this country from
all parts Of the world with an aver
age of about $50 each in their pos
session.

There is no soil so poor that it can

Successful cultivation demands two
things-a good mechanical condition of

equally as important even more inn

in good mechanical condition, it is
simply necessary to work in the pro-
