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
little over two dollars in his pocket,
thus being short over seven dollars of
the ten dollars required to secure en-.
try for 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 SAN 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 1O4 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
n the two months which we're spent
In this work. The wheat averaged 90
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, 1903. |
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.

Park Family

The name Park is derived from two
sources. One is Peter, from which II
comes by way of the corruptions Per
kins, Purkis. Perk and Pyrke. The
other Is park, a garden or green SET
aside for pleasure.
One of the big Park families in this
country arose In Normandy. There
was a follower of William the Con
Queror, who fought worthily, and who,
after the conquest. was rewarded by
his royal master with grants of land
in the north of England. the command
Of the royal parks, the position of mas
ter Of the hunts. and the title of
baronet. He was thereafter known as
Thomas de Parke, and Sir Robert
Parke. who settled in Connecticut
some 600 years later, was one of his
direct descendants. This family
sometimes spells the name also
Parke
Another Of the big families of the
name in this country is of Huguenot
origin. When the Edict of Nantes,
which had ensured religious freedom
to Professionals in France, was revoked
in 1856, many of the Protestants who
were living in the mountain valleys
of southern France, left for various
other, and safer. parts Of the world.
This was a day when surnames were
still uniformed, but some of these
Huguenots who lived In one of these
valleys, or parcs. as they were also
called, took Pare as their surname.
They went to England, Scotland and
the north of Ireland, and from them
the Park family of Pennsylvania and
the south Is descended. This family
almost always spells the name with
out the final "e."
Sir Robert Parke, a direct descend
ant of Thomas de Parke, the baronet
above, lived In Preston.
Lancashire, England In 1880 he sailed
from Cowes. Isle of Wight, IN the ship
Arabella, and came to Boston. He re-
turned within the year to England, but
by 1889 he was back again in this
country, and with his son Thomas he
settled In Wethersfield, Conn.
Sir Robert married, before he came
to America, Martha Chaplin of Ed
who died. After he came
to this country he and his son be-
came acquainted with very charm
Ing widow. Mrs. Alice Thompson, and
her daughter. Dorothy. Father and
son promptly fell In love with Alice
and Dorothy Thompson. and IN due
course the father married the mother,
and the SON married the daughter.

John of the second generation and
grandson Of the first John.
Samuel was a man OF great activity
He was a landholder. and he served
as town clerk, as clerk of the probate
court. and from 1725 to his death in
1862 he was Judge. Whatever he
did he did with thoroughness and en-.
ergy, and to this day we sometimes
say. HE works like Sam Hill" or 'IIl
have to hurry like Sam HILL"
Another of the early Hills IN this
country was John. of Dorchester,
Mass. He was probably Iandholder
there as early as 1893, two decades
earlier than the first definite date of
John of Guilford. John of Dorchester
is first mentioned in 1884. when ut
II agreed that the great lofts from
Mr.. Rossiter's to John Hills Toward
Naponcet in breadth. and eight score
In length shall be forthwith enclosed
by a good sufficient pale" He was
born about 1902 and 1t Is supposed
that he came from Chard, Somerset
shire. England. In that place there
was q family named Hill, in which, in
1928. a John Is mentioned a. being of
age, but as yet unmarried. Five years
later the records state that this John
had removed" and 1t is supposed
from this, that he was the immigrant
to Dorchester, Mass.
He was married In Ireland to Su-
sauna Armstrong. Their son, Peter,
born in 1851, was q captain in the rev.
olutionary war when he was only rs
years old. He was In Col. James Clin-
tons regiment and took part in the
defense of Fort Montgomery in 1777.
when 1t was attacked by Clinton.
The big branch of the Hill family in
the south was founded by Col. Edward
Hill OF Shirley" Charles City coun-
ty. Va.
His son, Col. Edward the second,
was as prominent as his father. He,
too. was member of burgesses. From
1897 to 100. when he died, he was
Judge of the admiralty court for vir-
ginia and North Carolina.
The late Nathaniel p. Hill, United
States senator from Colorado. a pub
lie man of some note, was descended
from Nathaniel Hill of Dwaarskill,
N. Y. He was born In the north of
Ireland in 1705 and rs years later
came to America. He settled on the
western frontier of the Scotch-Irish
settlements then already established
west Of the Hudson river.
OF course family Of this size was
we'll represented in the revolution. |
There was one colonel of the name.
the captain above mentioned, II lieu
and many non-commissioned |
officers. And the number Of privates |
who served their country In that war
vas very large.

ACorner in Ancestors
Hill Family
y FRANCIS cOWLEs
tcopyrisht BY Mcclure syndicate,

There have been Hills in England
for ages. The first man who bore the
name got it because he lived on hill
and the medieval form of the word
was Ate. signifying on or of hill.
There were also other early forms of
the name in England. The Hills of
Sattington. Staffordshire. are descend
ed from man of Worcester named
DE None CT De Mont. They retained
the French form of the name until
the fifteenth century, when they
adopted an Anglicized form, Hyll. And
the Hills of Hawstone are descended
from Hugh de la Hulle.
A good many early settlers In this
