A continuation of showery weather
this week has again laid the threshing
machines to rest. Only about three
days of good threshing weather for the
last two weeks has left considerable part
OF the grain unthreshed as yet. The
rain however, has not been so great IN
quantity as to damage the wheat that is
in shock to any great extent If at all.
Yesterday was fine day and if it con-
tinues the threshers will all be busy
to-day. No hard frost as yet.
The contemplated running Of U. S.
train crews through to Winnipeg will
not go into effect to-day as announced,
the arrangement having been knocked
in the head by Sir VIM. Mckenzie, of
the G. N. R. Premier Robin, Mr.. Nc
kenzie and delegation of engineers
convened at Winnipeg last week, when
the President announced that the men
had stood pretty we'll by the q. N. r.
and now the company will stand by
their employees and enter into no such
agreement. That is rather more salts
factory than looking to the Alien Labor
law for redress.-Emerson Journal.
Mrs. j. K. Switzer and daughters left
this city last week for their new home
at Saskatoon. They will be much MISS
ed in social and church circles where
they have always occupied prominent
places. Mrs. Switzer, and her husband
were among the early settlers of this
county living for number of years in
the Tyner locality and later moving to
Pembina. They took one of the Lund
children with them which they have
cared ror since the fathers death.
MIR. Switzer will remain in the city for
sometime yet settling up his business
affairs. DR.. Frank Switzer, is associat-
ed with DR.. FalIonn as dentist at Sask.
atchewan and has made his made home
there for the last two years.
1t was George Kemp that won the
prize for corn at the show ing at Bis
mark instead of "George Sempf" as we
had it a couple of weeks ago. The name
was mispelled IN the paper from which
we copied it and we might be pardoned
if we thought that the despised "alkali
flats" west of toilette were not capable
of raising prize corn. But it seems that
they are and in proof hear the corns talk.
If toilette township would wake up to
the opportunities and put some good
highways and highway bitches over IN
that section they would hear corn and
other grains talk that might astonish
them. There is no better soil
than the same despised locality if it were
just drained. But George Kemp has
lived there, four miles from toilette, for
more than twenty-five years and still
has no graded road to his nearest rail
way station.
| That the question of barley prices is
no myth was amply demonstrated last
week by two prominent Emerson farm.
ess-W. Robinson and D. A. Frazer.
A sample brought to Emerson command
ed price Of SO cents per bushel, while
at Pembina, after a test Of the same
sample, two different grain buyers made
offers of 50 cents per bushel. This is q
difference of IS cents per bushel, and as
more than 1900 bushels were for sale in
this one instance the total difference be-
tween Emerson and Pembina prices
would mean 1850 on the two cars, in
favor Of the American market, which
sum was practically dead loss to the
Canadian farmer, or at least the Can
adam could have had that much more
in his pocket if the duty was removed.
That's q clincher on the barley question.
