On a beautiful Saturday afternoon,
four weeks ago, the writer started for
a twenty-mile drive into the country,
from one Of the hundred or more new
towns that have been well started dur.
ing the past spring, in the Province Of
Saskatchewan, in Western Canada.
Mile after mile, and mile after mile,
was traversed through what was one
continuous wheat field, the only relief
to the scene being the roadways that
led back into other settlements,
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 I thought Of those
fellows down on the Board Of Trade
at Chicago, st. Louis, Minneapolis
and Duluth. While they were exploit
ing each others energies the farmer
Of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani
toba 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
800 acres of land, for which the rail-
way company is asking $4,000, and
pay it in cash." Another, with a field

When Col. Reno's command reached the
Custer battlefield on the Little Big Horn
the only living thing in all that silent sol
diery was the magnificent horse of the
martyred and lamented Capt. K~eough-Co-
manche. He was grievously wounded
many times, but not fatally, and the grief
stricken soldiers were determined he
should live; SO they made a litter of the
boughs OF trees, covered with army
blankets and with many tender hands
lifted Comanche on 1t and carried him ito
camp" a few miles away, where the army
surgeons and veterinarians soon had him
on the "convalescent list" and later on he
was discharged from the hospital we'll!

habilitated Seventh Cavalry at Fort

stationed"
An order from the war department had
been received and read to the immortal
Seventh that henceforth Comanche was to
have special care, a padded stall, an "ord-
erly, especially detailed TO care for him,
and that ne er again should he be ridden,
but panoplied in boots, saddle and saber."
He was TO be led at the head Of the Sew
enth regiment of Cavalry when on parade,
In commemoration OF those heroes who
died with Custer.
Comanche was a magnificent, powerful
horse, in color a claybank or buckskin,
with long, full or waving dar brown

satin; his scars scarcely discernible, and
he would rear, kick and sQueal like a veri-
table colt out on a frolic.

Farther north, land was selling at

was learned afterward that the soil

The climate was similar and the mar.

ence was that today these northern
lands occupy the same position that
the more s~outherly ones did five years
ago.. and there are found many who

there are still a great many home

Immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion OF
Alberta, a district that suffered moro
or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops Of fall wheat, winter wheat,
oats, fax and alfalfa that has ever
been taken off these highly productive
lands.
In Central Alberta, which comprises
the district north of Calgary and east
two hundred miles, through Camrose,
Sedgewick, Castor, Red Deer, WetasA

vile, Tofield, Vermillion and a score
OF other localities, where are settled
large numbers of Americans. the
wheat, oats and fax, three weeks ago,
was standing strong and erect. large
heads and promising from 80 to 35
bushels Of wheat and as high as 100
bushels OF oats on carefully titled
fields, while fax would probably
yield from 10 to IS bushels per acre.
In these parts the harvesters are

Throughout all parts Of Saskatcho-

In Manitoba it was the same. The
fields of grain that were passed
through in this province promised TO
give 10 the growers a bumper yield.
and as high as 35 bushels of wheat
and so bushels Of oats was freely dis

wonderfully well, and the current
price Is about $3.50 per bushel. We

ceiyed their homesteads as a gift from
the government, and by careful dill
