SPLENDID CANADIAN

The reports that come to hand from
the wheat fields of the western Cana

yields in all parts. Yields are record
ed of wheat going IS and 40 bushels
in many places, and oats from 60 to
100 bushels per acre. Barley and fax
are splendid. The thousands of Amer

to learn of the great success that

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
time again may now be well repeated,
that there is no place on the Emeri-
can continent where the same cppor-
tunities are afforded the man looking
for home, for the young man start
ing out in life, the man with grow
ing up family, who desires wider
scope for his ambition. The Cana
dian government agents located at
different points in the states will be
glad to advise the reader OF the condi-
tions, and relate to him instances of
the great success that has followed
farming in Western Canada.

The Night Ride.

By FIVE o'clock we were safe at Col
chester, and while our horses rested
and refreshed themselves on some
confiseated grain, the two of US lay
lazily back on grassy knoll, well
within the shadow of a ruined wall,
and watched the round, red sun drop
slowly down behind those western
hills we had to climb.

He led both horses forward, NOV
ing slowly and with that silent eau
ton so characteristic of his class.
With scarcely the scraping Of hoof
on the f1inty rocks we came forth in
safety upon the defined. hard-beaten
track
The south is over yonder ter the

into saddle. "an' the trend of the road

But in which direction does their

turned. urging my horse carefully for
ward. "But we shall have to take
tho chances, for it would not prove
healthy for either Of us to be caught

Not daring to venture on any gait
faster than walk along this unknown
and ill-detined mountain trail, we slow
ly and cautiously worked our way
forward for more than an hour, meet
ing with no human obstacle to OuI
progress, yet feeling that each steT

with this my horse ranged up beside

What Is 1t, Dan?" questioned eau
tiously; for all could feel reasonably

he spoke. ''Im just tryin' ter mem

The sergeant, a gaunt. tireless

saddle. swung his light cavalry car

his arm. and in another moment was
lost to sight in the darkness. A snake
could not have slipped away more

SENATE FIGHT ON

Neither Side Will Yield and
Outlook Is for Bitter
Struggle.

The fight in the Senate over the cleo
ton of a President pro tempore will be
renewed Monday.
The Old Guard Senators are not will
ing to surrender to the insurgents. and
the word has gone out that II the insur-
gents want to keep Up the fight and
cause the election of a Democrat, the
regulars are willing to let them. The
Old Guard Senators are not going TO
consent to compromise.
1t has been reported the Vice Presi-
dent can designate some one TO serve in
his place for ten days. This is a mis-
take. He cannot designate substitute
for more than one day at a time.
If the regulars are presenting an ap-
pearance of stubbornness. the insur-
gents who are opposed to Gallinger are
just as stubborn. They never will con-
sent to the election of Gallinger.
1t developed today that the insurgents
are particularly hostile to Galiinger be-
cause they charge that he did not live
up to his agreement with respect to
putting progressives on committees:
In the meantime, the Democrats have
some hope they may elect Senator Ba-
