Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT Elk
HIBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload of grain in straw, grasses
and other of the products of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now Installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest Information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage Of the homestead
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
a great deal of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and cauliflower are shown.
1t is true that the homestead area
is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk of that now to be had lies north
of the Saskatchewan river in a por-
ton of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large guam
tity of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
Water is in abundance, hay is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derful crop yields of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for
distribution at the land show COM
mencing on the 18th of November
and closing on Dec. 9Th. application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as they are published.

Three hours were consumed in cook

and breaking camp. and the remaining
nine hours dogs and men slept as If

The time came when Kama was un-
able to go in the lead and break trail.

when he permitted Daylight to toll

of lakes from Marsh to Linderman,

below the last pitch of the pass at the
dim end of day; but he kept on and

behind him ragged a snow storm that

the camp work of both, harnessed the

rolled the helpless Indian in all three
sleeping robes and dashed him on top
of the sled. The going was good; they
were on their last lap; and he raced
the dogs down through Dyea canyon
and along the hard-packed trail that
led to Dyea post. And running still,

This time the trail was easier. II

carrying mail against time. At Forty
Mile they laid over two days for the
sake of the dogs. and at Sixty Mile
Daylight's team was left with the
trader. Unlike Daylight, after the
terrible run from Selkirk to Circle

Hookworm Disease is SO Prevalent In

THE CHILDREN HAVE IT
Half Million Scholars In the Schools

Said.
[Gate CITY Leased Wire servic,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. IA
Systematic Investigation is being
made by the state board of health in
Arkansas, and some of the results are
startling. The disease. says the board
has been found in every southern
state, and in every county in one
state.
In Arkansas, the southern and east
ern portions are more severely infect
ed than the northern and western. In
one of the southern counties an ex-
animation of eighty-seven children of
total attendance of 81, showed an
infection of 81 per cent. There are
6,1S2 school houses in the state, with
573.S42 children of school age, and
80 per cent of the schools are conduct
ed under rural and semi-rural condi-
tions. This means that there are s.
564 places in the state where half a
million school children are in danger
of contracting the disease. At least
three hundred thousand of these chill
dren live in communities where the
hookworm has been discovered
