QUANTITY, QUAIL
 ITY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
 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 DOT tion 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 320,000 square miles there comes the strong refrain of contentment and satisfac- tion. In the distribution of the xon- ditions causing it no district has en- 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 Individuality The grand total-say 130 million bush els-may have its effect on the grain price of the world; it 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. If so to- day, what will be it's effect five or ten years from now, when, instead of there being seven million acres under crop with total yield of 125 or 130 million bushels, there will be from T7 f0 yield of from 325 to 600 million bush els. When it is considered that tht largest yield in the United States but slightly exceeded TOO million bushels, the greatness of these figures may be understood. We'll, such is a safe fore cast, for Canada has the land and it has the soil. Even today tAc Prov ince of Saskatchewan, one Of &e three great wheat growing provfaoe #pf Can ada, with 100000 acres una Awheat, produces nearly 90 million bushels, or upwards of one-tenth of the greatest yield of the United States And Sas- katchewan is yet only in the begfa- ming of it's development As Lord Grey recently pointed out in speaking on this very subject, this years crop does not represent one-tenth of tho soil equally fertile that is yet to be brought under the plough.
 Individually, reports are to hand of yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty-fve 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 it's capabilities.

Amendment Provides Waterway Com mission Shall Name Its Own At torney, Taking the Appoint
 ment From the Governor.

Springfield, Undetermined to ex- pedite the work Of the special session, the Illinois legislature resumed dis cussion of direct primary legislation. Speaker Shurtleff declared in favor of an early adjournment and urged the members to do their work and not waste time here spending the peoples money"
 When the senate waterwss commit tee met, there was a hot debate whether the members should wait for congress to say whether Illinois would receive federal cooperation in the work. Some feared the bill would suffer at the hands of it's foes if re- ported out now, but after several amendments, the Schmidt administra- tion bill was reported out and the wa terway fight will soon be in progress on the floor of the senate.
 The committee struck out of the bill all that portion addressed to con- gress and which Senator Clark refer red to as a speech to congress" It was thus made essentially state measure, providing for beginning of the work by the state of Illinois with out waiting for federal aid
 The waterway commission provided for shall name its own attorney, this appointment being taken from the governor by an amendment, which Deneen's lieutenants did not oppose
 The outcome of the fight of direct primary legislation is still much in doubt.

MOST SUCCESS IN FARMING

 goes a certain amount of nitrogen,
 phosphorus and potash, which must,
 in some way, be restored if the fertil- impaired. A farm does not nec3s- sarily wear out with use. Although it produces abundant crops, it may i'm prove from year to year. It is abuse, and not use, which impairs it's value. The most successful farmer is he who raises the best crops, and at the same time increases the productiveness of his land Like the prudent banker, he earns and takes a good dividend, and adds a handsome surplus to his capital account And how can this be done without too great expense it may be asked? Easily and profitably, by proper rotation of crops; by studying the character of the soil, learning it's deficiencies, if any, and supplying what is needed to establish proper balance, by swatting the weeds. in season and out of season; by draining the wet places, and sweet ening the sour ones; by feeding on the land a goodly part of what is grown on it. and getting the manure spread as soon as it is produced. In short, by studying this most interesting problem from every point of view, and profting by ones own experience, as well as by the teachings and experi- ence of others. There is no more in- teresting study.

Old Repeater
Interviewed
The Mirror Sporting Editor Enjoys
An AirIess Interview With the
Famous First Baseman.

After several Intellectual attempts
we have at last secured an interview
with Old Repeater. Last week after
an all days search we finally located
him in the tonsorial parlors of Capt.
Whelan's large and commodious es-
tablishment. He was very busily
engaged in trying out new method
for honing razors and after several
fancy fourishes we were moved to
inquire just what advantages the
new method possessed.
This" said Old Repeater, is what
is called double bevel edge and it
is the real thing. too. Why, you
fellows wont have to lather at all
when I use this razor, because it re-
moves at one stroke both whiskers
and cuticle. Yes stree, it will prove
great timesaver in the matter of
lathering, yet it accomplishes the
same results
Now, Professor, what is your
opinion regarding the proposed for

New Prison, as outlined exclusively
in The Mirror?:''

take it from me that it's just little
bit of all right. But [ notice that

be willing to serve in that capacity.

There was no appreciable change in
the stage OF water on the river bot
toms during the day Tuesday. The
highest stage of water was reached
at an early hour Tuesday morning,
when the water reached about to the
floors of the little dwellings near the
foot of Third street, making the low
lands a dismal sight with their waves
of muddy water and floating debris.
In the forenoon the water receded
about foot, but still remained high
enough to. shut of access from these
dwellings,. An old hen at one of the
places kept solitary vigil during the
night on the roof, and was there when
daylight came yesterday. 4
One of the peculiar happenings OF
the flood was the destruction by fire
of Gottlieb Huber's grain warehouse,
in the very midst of a lake of water.
The water rose high enough to enter
the warehouse, and, according to re-
port, found a barrel OF. lime In its
path. The stacking of this lime caus-
ed an intense heat, and the fire was
the result. The alarm was sounded,
but nothing could be done toward
saving the building, as couple OF
hundred feet Of water two or three

forenoon, until 1t was finally extin-

HARD LUCK.

An alarm of fire was sounded short
ly before o'clock Tuesday morning
and it was caused by the burning of
Gottlip Huber's granary. It seems
that when they left the place yester-

in the granary, which must have
Stacked during the night and caused
the fire. He lost 800 bushels Of oats;
300 bushels of seed wheat and other
seed grains. There was no insurance
and the loss was total. Gottlip is
having more than his share Of trouble.
He has been laid up with broken
leg all winter and. his wife and one
daughter are i'll in the hospital. He

RoWEp OVER The RIVER.

HO"6O OVER, t6e nJVEn.
r. T. Leonard and Anton Van Null
rowed over the river from Mandan
Tuesday morning. They found no
difficulty until they reached the east
bank when they were kept busy dodE-
ing ice cakes. They came over to
attend the sale of some isolated
tracts Of land in which they were bid
ders.
The roads south of Mandan are I'M
passable and they were only able to
reach Mandan by making long de-
tour to the west and reaching the
city by following the track. They
reported the Syndicate addition and
what is known as Dogtown, as flooded
and the fair grounds were overlooked
and part of the grand stand had been
carried away and lodged on the banks
of the Heart river. The mill also,
was closed down. There was no
water in Mandan proper, the dyke
along the river holding it back. The
entire city was busy all day strength
ening the barrier by piling up every
thing that would brace the dyke. The
water came to within eighteen inches

Three FLOODS.

There Is some doubt in the
mind Of the public as to how
many floods there have been since Bis
marck was started. There was a
flood In 1881 and steamboats, sailed
over the bottoms and landed passeng-
ers at the foot of Third street. The
next occurred in 1887 and this time
the water was the highest ever known.
The next was in 1897 the spring after
the great snow fall Of 1896. Since
this date there has been no disturb
ance worth mentioning until the
present flood.
