The reports that come to hand from
dian provinces show remarkably good
yields in all parts Yields are records
ed of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels
in many places, and oats from so to
100 bushels per acre. Barley and flax
are splendid. The thousands of Amer
leans throughout the United States
who have friends in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan or Alberta will be pleased
to learn of the great success that
has followed their efforts. Many of
these have not confined themselves to
the growing Of grain, but have also
gone into the cattle industry. On the
luxurious grasses that are so album
dant there, in almost all districts,
make this industry safe and profitable.
The land sales reported by the rail-
way companies and by the different
land companies show the great in
crease that will likely take place
during the next year in farming oper-
ations. What has been said time and

BIG DITCH IN 1918
TAFT SAYS PANAMA CANAL WILL
BE TWO YEARS AHEAD
OF SCHEDULE.
AUTO NEAR CLIFFS EDGE
Presidential Party Narrowly Escapes
Spending Night Among Glaciers
on Mt. Rainier-Machines Mired in
Mud-Rangers Come to Relief.

Bellingham, Wash.-President Taft
in a speech here predicted that the
Panama canal would be ready for
use on July 1, 1913.
1.-The canal" he said, sis the great
est constructive work since the Chris
tian era.
"If nothing untoward hapens you
can count on that canal on July /,
1918. It's been promised for July l,
1915, but I'll let you into the little Sc
cret when / tell you, you may see the
first ship go through the canal on July
l, 1913"
Leaving here, President Taft struck
south again on the homeward leg OF
his long trip. From Bellingham the
president goes back to the capital by
way of Oregon and California, with
run north from Salt Lake City into
Montana, the middle northwest, but
according to existing arrangements
the westward part of the voyage" is
over.
Tacoma, Wash.-President Taft
climbed up to the foot of the glaciers
on Mount Rainier and narrowly es-
capped spending the night in the noun
tain fastness.
The presidential party made the as
cent in automobiles, and when near
ing the highest point reached by the
roadway some Of the machines be-
came mired in the mud up to the hubs
Of the wheels.
Night had fallen and a storm threat
ened as the president started down
the decline. With searchlights blaz-
ing the way, the presidents car slow
ly crept along the edge of precipices,
and at times the outer wheels were
within two feet of a sheer drop OF
1000 feet or more
The first sixty miles Of the trip
were made over smooth roads. Once
inside Of Mount Rainier national park,
however, the party found the roads
we. and heavy. And as they proceed
ed the highway became almost quag-
mire. Finally several automobiles be-
came mired and with their own power
could go no farther.
The presidents car was in advance
of these, and managed to pass through
even the worst parts Of the road.
In the meantime forest rangers had
pulled several of the stalled automo-
biles from the mire, and they were
turned back for the return trip before
the presidents car reached them on
it's downward trip.
The presidents car sank deep in
the muddy ruts in the road, and skid
ded badly at times, despite the safety
chains that had been thrown over the
car tires.
The president completed the Jour-
ney as planned and arrived safely at
his train, which had been taken to
Ashford, near the mountain. and
passed through here en- route to Bel
linghan.

Holcombe, Wis.-Lieut Hans Ger
lcke and j. Otto bunker, pilot and as
sistant respectively, of the German
balloon Berlin H., arrived here victors
in the international balloon race in an
exhausted condition after a perilous
battle with gale that ragged for forty
hours. They had been given up for
lost by the Kansas City Aero club.
Caught in the storm almost as soon
as it assembled in Kansas City, the
Berlin II. dashed to the northeast with
the speed of an aeroplane. Many
times the huge gas bag began to sink.
Sand, provisions, water, everything
was tossed from the basket to keep
it af1oat. Rain fell in torrents and
the pilot and his aide were drenched
to the skin. AS they fastened north
the weather, too, became bitterly cold.
Hunger and lack of sleep added to
their suffering.
Finally the Berlin II. refused longer
to remain in the air and sank into
forest IL miles north of Holcombe.
Here In strange country and with
out guide Lieutenant Gericke and
Herr bunker were lost, struggling
without food for "a hours before they
arrived at this town.
In it's flight the Berlin II. covered
$50 miles, carrying off the Bennett
trophy.

entrants, which came down at La

lance of 365 miles.
