WILL NOT ABANDON
 KEY WEST STATION

Washington, September S.-The Key West naval station will not be aban- doned, declared high officers of the navy today, and consequently, it is added, the navy department will not view with favor any suggestion for the abolition of Key West barracks and Fort Taylor, the army posts erected to protect the naval station. Naval experts regard Key West point of paramount strategic importance. Brig adler General Mills, commanding the de- partment of the gulf, has recommended to the war department the wiping out of the works of defense in case the navy de- partment was willing to close Key West naval station.

Crops Make Glad the Farmers
of Western Canada.
YIELD WILL BE RECORD ONE
Practically Beyond Reach of Accident,
the Fruit of the Fertile Fields

On beautiful Saturday afternoon.
four weeks ago, the writer started for
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 wealth! Here were nm
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 1 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 $6,400. and
pay it in cash." Another, with a field
of fiax-it was only 800 acres-said

contempt has prompted many of the loggers
to act as spendthrifts in the use of large and
sound logs to form skidded platform, load

the logs are placed aboard the cars that are
to carry them to the mills. To pursue this

splendid country, all one beAutffW pa0-
ture, and such an opportunity to uso
ones imagination in figuring up the
amount of the wealth of the crops
through which the trip into town took
US, was not to be enjoyed every day.
And away we started.
1t was delightful. We drove and
drove through avenues of wheat,
which today, having yellowed with
the beneficent sun, is being laid low
by the reaper, stacked and threshed
by the thousands of hands required to
do it, and in great wagons is being
taken to the elevator.
A nights ride by train took us
through 225 miles of this great prov
ince of Saskatchewan-into the south,
western part-and from appearances
1t might have been as though a trans
fer had been made across a township.
There were wheat fields, oat fields,
barley fields and flax fields, and many
more that could not be seen. Yet
there they were, and during the night
We had passed through country sim

well-arranged systems are penetrating

Prosperous Alberta.
We afterward went over into Al
berta, and here again it was grain and
cattle, cattle and grain, comfortable
farm homes. splendidly built cities
and towns, the best of churches and
the most thoroughly equipped schools.
While talking with a Southern Sas-
katchewan farmer he said that the
land he was working, and for which
he had been offered $50 an acre, had
been purchased five years ago for $12
an acre, but he won't sell. He Is
making a good profit on his land at
$50 an acre, and why should he sell?
Farther north, land was selling at
from s15 to $1S and $40 an acre. It
was learned afterward that the soil
was similar to that in the south, the
price of which today is $50 an acre.
The climate was similar and the mar
kets as good. In fact the only differ
ence was that today these northern
lands occupy the same position that
the more southerly ones did five years
ago, and there are found many who
