MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week It was pointed out In
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200,000,000 bushels Of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase OF about 100, 600, 900 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
frmation of this news is to hand and
the cry still Is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they pos,
sibly can to take advantage Of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars of which can be had
from any of the following Agents Of
the Canadian Government: NJ v. Nc

Every facility Will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, 1t may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity of
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character OF
the lands In Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the OPP
portunity of seeing some of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, If he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $500
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markably cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to % bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely a nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be nominal
price for land that would produce as
these lands produce.

WANT PHONE LINES JOINED
Lacrosse Cit zens Viii Attemnt %
Have Physical Connection Be-
tween Companies Ordered.

La Crosse.-Complianee WITH the
new state law requiring physical con-
nection is to be put up to telephone
companies of Wisconsin immediately.
A petition is being prepared asking
the state railroad rate commission to
require that the Wisconsin Telephone
company connect with the toll line
exchange of the independent com
panies in this county and also 20 re-
quire the independent toll lines to
connect with the Wisconsin com
pany's exchanges. The commission.
under the new law, is authorized TO
order a physical connection and an
praise the rates.
me situation is particularly i'm
portant here, because there has been
an extensive development locally and
on toll lines of the two opposing sys-
TENS owned respectively by the wis
consin Telephone company and the
La Crosse Telephone company. Both
companies cover all western Wiscon-
sin and extend a great distance to
the west, but the La Crosse comnany
is unable to reach Milwaukee, Madi-
son or Chicago and it is to force this
connection so that the subscribers of
the La Crosse company may have the
advantage of the Bell lines that the
action is taken.
The commission will be asked to
act promptly to relieve the local sit
uation.

1t is clear, says the report, that any
claim that the fire loss in this state
has been reduced recently is absolute
ly without foundation. Undoubtedly
a part of the excessive loss in the last
year was due to the extremely dry
season. 1t does not appear that the
element of arson or other moral haz-
ard was large factor Out of 2,340
fires, only twenty-seven were deemed
worthy of investigation.
