If she had consulted her inclinations,
she would have run away; but that
could not be.

ly noting her low voiced statement

was this incident to which I alluded
when you said you respected me be-
cause 1 had been a perfectly straight
square man. Your words cut me to
the heart; not because 1 wasn't
straight or square now or that 1 had
not made what amends could for the
actions of a boy and fool since 1 had
become man. but because after this
1 could never persuade you or any
one that 1 had not always been SO,
and because could not bear to have
even your respect on a false pretense.

you know of course that If things had

Gormly stared at her in amusement

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
MONUMENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vfce-president of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. As his firm have
turnover of millions. and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be OF special interest to
farmers
of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada He might also have spoken
of the importance OF the oat crop and
also OF the winter wheat crop. as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess. and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character Of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article
In land of such great sweep, and
OF such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present OF the same overwhelm-
ing Importance as the spring wheat
CROP In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
1t is the one absorbing topic of inter
est and Of conversation during its
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of large part Of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to its OPP
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
fusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent Of
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,OOO.000 bushels, SO
that your Imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come
During the months of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production Of 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.

The decision of the house committee on

to drop the Controller bay investigation
produced a break In the committee at an
executive session today. Republican men,

been accounted for, probably will con-
tinue the fight on the floor of the house.

PENALTY LAW CASE ARGUED
Right Of States to Penalize Rail.
roads Before Supreme Court.
ISSUE FROM NORTH CAROLINA
Legislature Passed Law AsseSain n
Penalty of Fifty Dollars Day
for Refusing to Accept
Freight.

WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-The right OF
the states to penalize railroads for refus-
ing 10 receive goods for shipment in
interstate commerce was argued today
before the supreme court OF the United
States.
The question presented to the court
concerned particularly the state of North
Carolina. a direct attack was being
made ON the constltutionasty of the
statute. enacted in 1906 in that state.
| Imposing q penalty of $50 day on a
lfailnoad- for every day lt refused 10 ac-
cept goods for Transportation.
New Principle Involved,
The principle involved was before the
court in two different cases. One arose
out of the shipment OF carload OF
shingles by Reid q Beam from Ruther-
fordton, n. c.. to scottville, Tenn. when
they loaded the shingles onto a car and
asked the station agent at Rutherford.
ton to ship It TO scottville, Il was declared
that he replied he knew of no such place
IT proved to be flag station on the
Knoxville & Augusta railroad, to which
no published rate existed. After several
days delay. the goods were shipped No
damages were proven 10 have resulted &c
the shippers, but they recovered $3.50 as
penalty imposed by the statute for re-
fusal to receive the goods.
The second case arose out OF Mrs. ID. J..
Reds attempt TO ship household goods
from Charlotte. N. C., to Davis, w. Va.
No published rate, as authorized by the
Interstate commerce laws. existed between
Charlotte and Davis, and the shipment
was delayed five days before a rate was
obtained. A jury awarded Mrs Reid SIS
damages and $3.50 as penalty.
In both cases the defendant was the
Southern Railway company.
BasIs for Attach ON Law.
The law is attacked largely on the
ground that It was an Interference by the
state with Interstate commerce. The su-
preme court of North Carolina sustained
the law as constitutional. The court took
the position that congress had not
legislated in reference to railroads. re-
cevlng goods for shipments and there
fore that the subject was open to
regulation by the states. until congress
exercises such a right. A dissenting
opinion, however. was heard IN the court
In the case arising out OF the shipment
from Charlotte to Davis. the supreme
court said that II was not expected that
the railroad should have on file published
rates from Charlotte to every place in
the union. and while the railroad might
be prohibited by the interstate commerce
laws from shipping without such rate
being published, yet the laws did not
prohibit the railroad from receiving the
goods.
