EIGHTEEN YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
HE is NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST
FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN.
CENTRAL CANADA.

Arriving IL Canada in 1891. lust
eighteen years ago, e. A. Guillomin
could speak but his native language
He is 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-
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 be 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 54l2 days He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at a price varying from "a
to 81 cents per bushel He has on
hand still $1,000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels Of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
bushels of flax 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 it 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 $500 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 |

years seven good crops have been har-
vested on this farm. For six success
sive years the returns we're excellent
that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1908,
1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two fol-
lowing years there was a partial fail

quality of the buildings on the farm
have been steadily improved, and are

vested in this way by Mr. Guillomin.
The farm consists of $3.50 acres, of
which about 5000 acres were under
crop this season.

Hard to Tell Which Party Will Be

London, Eng. Four more Union

With less than 80 members of the

NATIONAL PACKING co.
BLAMED FOR EXCESSIVE
COST OF FRESH MEATS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Officials of
the department of justice believe the
operations of the National Packing
company of Chicago, which is con-
trolled by three of the leading pack
ing houses there exert dominating
influence on the price of fresh meat
throughout the United States, and
have direct bearing on the price of
cattle on the hoof
The department feels warranted.
therefore, in the effort to punish per-
sons responsible for such a state of af-
fairs, and to dissolve any combina-
tions in restraint of trade.
While the permanent federal injunc-
tions issued some years ago restrain
ing seven packing establishments from
combining to control prices are still
operative, the move about to be made
is believed necessary to establish con-
troll of the situation.
Undoubtedly if the farms were
raising more meat the price would be
reduced" said Secretary Wilson of the
agricultural department today in COM
menting upon the widespread boycott
against meat products.
"There are not enough people on the
farms raising food and too many peo-
pie are going to the towns to be fed
"Three quarters of a million people. :"
said Secretary Wilson, "are coming to
the United States annually from
abroad. They do not go to the farms,
where they might help raise food for

ENORMOUS FINE
VESSEL PROHIBITED FROM
LANDING PASSENGERS
DUE TO ARRIVE AT PORT OF
HONOLULU TODAY
Law Prescribes Foreign Craft Shall
Not Transport Persons Between
Places in United States
Under 5000 Penalty
Associated Pressl

HONOLULU, Jan. 22.-With a fine of
5000 for each passenger landed here
confronting the vessel as a penalty for
violating the coastwise shipping laws,
which forbid a foreign ship to carry
passengers from one American port to
another, the Hamburg American
steamship Cleveland, with $50 around
the-world tourists from New York, is
due to arrive at Honolulu tomorrow.
The treasury department cabled to Col
lector of Port Stackable today to en-
force the coastwise regulations on the
steamers arrival ordering that no eX-
ception be made in this case.
While the fine of $500, it is understood
here, will only apply to ten or twelve
of the tourists who expect to remain in
Honolulu, this penalty will apply to all
passengers on the arrival of the steam
ship at San Francisco, whence the tour
lists expect to return to New York by
rail.
The Cleveland is under foreign regis
ter, and sailed from New York Octo-
ber 16.
If the Cleveland does not wish to in
cur a penalty under the coastwise laws
of $500 for each passenger aboard she
will go to Vancouver, B. c., instead of
terminating the voyage at San Fran
cisco.
