Representative Issenhuth's good

the Good Roads League Of So~th Da

The R-sition of the Historical So

Some Mosquitoes.

"Yes," said the traveller who had
Just returned from South Africa. II
was one day so annoyed by mosqul-
toes that ! was compelled to take
refuge in an old iron safe which lay
discarded on the veldt.
MY first emotions Of JOY at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, scenting me,
began to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, had a ham,
mer in my pocket, and as fast as their
stingers came through the iron I
clinched them, until at length such
a host of them was fastened down in
this way that. when they started to
fly away, they carried me and that
safe miles.
Then. one by one, they died with
the exertion. and | was able to come
out with safety. Yes, wonderful things

SPLENDID CANADIAN
CROPS
Wheat, Oats and Barley Uni
versaIly Good Throughout
Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.

The reports that come to hand from
the wheat fields of the western Cana
dian provinces show remarkably good
yields in all parts. Yields are record
ed of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels
In many places. and oats from 60 to
100 bushels per acre. Barley and fax
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 abun-
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 win 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 Ameri-
can continent where the same oppor-
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

Two men were killed and ten men
and two women more or less serious
ly injured when limited car and a
work train collided on curve on
the Flint division Of the ID. IT, r.
near Rochester.
The limited was northbound, hav-
ing left Detroit, and was running
under orders giving it clear track
to Orion. AS it rounded a sharp
curve a mile and quarter north OF
Rochester, going at the high speed
called for by the limited schedule, Mo

He reversed his motors, threw on
the air. but the distance was too
short to avert collision Just be.
fore the crash came he jumped, land
ing safely at the side of the right Of
way. His conductor, S. Hill warned
by the sudden shock of the reversed
motors, also jumped.
Two Killed Were Terribly Mangled
In the smoker were found the bod
les of Rollin Lee, of Oxford, and
George Follin, of Flint. Both must
have been instantly killed, for their
heads were crushed and cut so that
they We're almost unrecognizable.
Physicians were Immediately sum
moned from Rochester. Orion and

in automobiles.
AS soon as the injured were all
out the second section of the limited
to which they had been carried, was
backed to Rochester. Here they were
transferred to another car and, at.
tended by three doctors, were rushed
to Detroit, where they were taken to

sidetrack at Lake Orion junction to
let the limited pass. Looking at his
watch, Huber figured that he had
plenty of time. hsst when he rounded
Youngs curve, there was the limited
rushing toward him. He yelled to
Larkin and both jumped just in time
Immediately after the d. u. r. had
cared for the injured, wrecking cars
were rushed to the scene, and the
battered cars and all other evidences
of the wreck were quickly cleared
away.
