Switch Crew Taken Away

The switch engine and crew here were laid off July Tst and it is ex- pected that the two short runs from Williams and Winslow will have to lay over here and attempt to do the work. There is plenty of work for a switch engine here and instead of a prospect of less, it is growing in volume every day. Things will undoubtedly stack up in the yards as they did before and the old crew will be back on again in short time.

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon
iour weeks ago. the writer started for

where would have been repeated the
same great vista of wheat.
What a wealth. Here were hun
dreds and thousands, and millions of
bushels of what was declared to be a
quality of grain equal to any that has
ever been grown in the province. AS
we drove on and on thought Of those
lelloWs down on the Board of Trade
at chicago, st. Louis, Minneapolis
ana Duluth. While they were exploit
ing each others energies the farmer
or Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani
tooa was contemplating how much he
would realize out of his crop, now
past any danger Of accident, over
what his anticipations were two
months ago. One man said to me:
The profits of that field of wheat will
give me sufficient money to purchase
$40 acres of land, for which the rail-
way company is asking $6,400, and
pay it in cash" Another, with a field

hand, was hurled forth like a shot,
but came back empty. Not another
sound reached him; his own horse
went steadily on, feeling his way, un-
til he was nose against the bank, with
water merely ripping about his ankles.
Keith driving feet again into the stir
rups headed him down stream, wading
close in toward the shore. leaning for
ward over the pommel striving to see
through the gloom.
He had no doubt about Neb's pony
making land, unless struck by some
driftwoOd, or borne to the center Of
the stream by the shifting force of the
current. But If Neb had failed to re-
tain his grip he might have been
sucked under by the surge of waters.
A hundred yards below he found them,
dripping and weak from the struggle.
yet otherwise unhurt. There were no
words spoken, but the black and white
hands clasped silently, and then Neb
crept back into the saddle, shivering
in his wet clothes as the cool night
wind swept against him. Keeping
close in toward shore, yet far enough
out so that the water would hide their
trail, the fugitives toiled steadily up
stream, guided only by the black out
line of the low bank upon their left.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-09-05

he could. do the same and still have
balance in the bank. Flax produces
wonderfully we'll, and the current
price is about $3.50 per bushel. We
then drove over into another town
ship, getting further back from the
railway, and the main travelled road.
Here we found ourselves in the center
of a Swedish settlement. Those form
ing the settlement were originally
from Nebraska Invited to put up our
horses and stay over for dinner, and
a dinner that was enjoyed not only on
account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the exhilarating drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes Of roast fowl, po-
tatoes, cabbage, and a delightful des-
sert, some of the history of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
tbeir own achievements, and equally
modest as to those of their friends,
but enough was learned to satisfy US
that they had come there about three
years ago, in moderate, almost poor,
circumstances. Most of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as a gift from
the government, and by careful dill
gence had purchased and paid for ad-
joining land. They had plenty of cat
tie and horses, some sheep and hogs,
and large well-kept gardens, showing
an abundance of potatoes and cabbage
and other vegetables. Their buildings
were good. Schools were in the neigh
borhood and there was evidence of
comfort everywhere.
On to the Park Country.
Reluctant to leave these interesting
people, the horses thoroughly rested,
were hooked up" and driven on, IN
der a sun still high in the heavens,
with the horses pulling on the bit and
travelling at a 12-mile an hour gait
over a road that would put to shame
many of the macadamized streets, we
were whirled along a sinuous drive
through the woods and then out in the
park country.
Here was another scene Of beauty,
groves of poplar, herds of cattle,

barley and fax. Here was wealth,
and happiness and surely content
ment. The crops were magnificent.
The settlers, most Of them, by the
way, from Iowa, had selected this To-
cation because of its beauty. It's en-
tire charm was wholesome. Fuel was
in abundance, the soil was the best,
the shelter for the cattle afforded by
the groves gave a splendid supply of
food, while hay was easy to get. They
liked it. Here was sturdy farmer,
with his three boys. He had formerly
been a merchant in an Iowa town, his
children had been given a college edu-
cation and one of the boys was about
to marry the accomplished daughter
of a neighboring farmer.
Through Land of Wealth.
The invitation to remain to supper
was accepted, but tnat given to re-
main over night was tabled. 1t was
only a 25-1nile drive into town over
the best of roads, through such a

strap it on tight; we've got a long.

ITO the Bar X on the Canadian.
I've worked with that outfit. They'll
give us whatever We need, and ask
no questions; don't know of anything
in between. It's going to be a hard
ride, boy, and mighty little to eat ex-
cept what l saved from supper"
How far am it to dis yere Bar X?''
"A hundred and fifty miles as the
crow flies, and sand all the way, ex-
cept for the valley of Salt Fork. Come
on now. and keep close, for it's easy
to set lost in these sand hills"
Keith mad ridden that hundred and
fifty miles of sandy desolation before,
but had never been called upon to
make such journey as this proved to
be. He knew there was little to fear
from human enemies, for they were
riding far enough east Of the Santa Fe
trail to be cut of the path Of raiding
parties, while this desert country was
stunned by Indian hunters. 1t con-
sisted of sand hill after sand hill,
drear waterless waste, where nothing
grew, and mid the dread sameness of

or the blozing sun by day.
They had covered ten miles of it by
daybreak, their ponies travelling heavi-
ly. fetloCk deep, but could advance no
further. With the first tint of rose in
the east the brooding storm burst
upon them in wild desert fury, the
fierce wind bu1oting them back. lash

say they will come into a price nearer
their legitimate value of $50 or $50 an
acre quite as quickly as the southerly
lands. And I believe it.
Throughout all this great country,

there are still a great many home.

Immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion of
Alberta, a district that suffered more
or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat,
oats, flax and alfalfa that has ever
been taken off these highly productive
lands.

the district north of Calgary and east
