MORE Excellent
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week 1t was pointed out In
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200,000000 bushels of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100,000,000 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great Con-
flrmation of this news Is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends Of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they. pos
sibly can to take advantage OF the
low rate which Is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary.
and particulars of which can be had
from any of the following Agents Of
the Canadian Government: M. V. Nc

Every facility will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity OF
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character cs
the lands in Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the OPP
portunity of seeing some of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, If he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $7.0a
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markably cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to 25 bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from s9.aO to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land hat he got for nothing
or paid merely nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be a nominal
price for land that would produce as
these lands produce.

 "Yet this advice Is even more valuable to the country minister. It Is he who if he would be successful must meet his reople-every one of them-face to face. If he talks to them in a general way end at the same time has any insight into human nature at all he must realize tLat he Is constantly evading the main Issues. The country minister must be a diplomat if he expects to do any good. The minister In big city church speaks to a great many people, Ills con grega ton is made up of hundreds of hu- man being from as many hundreds of coalitions of life. The personal note In his sermon and in his work of all kinds must be sounded on broader lines. "On the other hand the country min- ister who plans his work on such a basls .s making the mistake of his life. The life of every village, business, social and religious, Is strongly personal. It is man to man conflict of brains, opinions and morals, and if the minister cannot
 meet his people on their own plane he deliberately puts himself at a disadvan- tage. His work is going for nothing.

This spring has been known for a long time. Long before white men ventured into the country the Indians were accus- toned to camp in the neighborhood, in or der that sick members of their tribe might drink of the waters of Soup Spring."
 There Is tradition to the effect that j,i the early days the Washoes and Flutes fought desperately for the possessions of the springs, until finally 1t dawned upon them that the loss of life entailed by their hostilitIes more than offset any advant- ages to be derived from this curious group of springs. So they entered into treaty whereby both tribes were to be free to share in the benefits of the waters.
 The white men became familiar with the springs by reason of their prospect
