CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THe ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANscoNTlNENTAL RAIL.
WAYS.

Last August there visited thu Cana.

largest individual hardware company
In the United States. As his arm have

tenslvely with farm Implements. thn
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.
ucie should be OF special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks Of the Importance
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 tho 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

Thrane loved his profession and the
lie about being busy was his first act

On this particular evening he was
not disposed to help humanity. for the

IS COOK THE REAL
 POLE D|SCOvERER?
Some Authorities Declare He Will Yet Be Vindicated-
 Speaks Here Soon

The second number on the pro gram for the Chautauqua course is Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Arctic ex- piorer. who will be here on Friday evening. the 2Sth.
 (Woman's National Daily)
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The north pole controversy involving Robert E. Peary and Dr. Frederick A. Cook was revived when. Explorer E. c. Baldwin made a bitter attack on the National Geographical soci- ety, declaring These so-called sci entists have been deluded in the Peary-Cook matter" He quoted Capt. Peary's records to substanti- ate statements made by Dr. Cook and asserted that the Brooklyn ex- plore- was the discoverer Of the north pole. At the same time he made serious charges against Capt. Peary. He asserted Dr. Cook would yet be yindicated and that he would tNndeavor to have the Peary case re- oNened by congress before final ac- tio1 is taken in promoting Peary to the rank of rear admiral.
 Capt Baldwin was four times a member of Arctic expeditions in quest of the pole. He was member of the Peary expedition of 1s0l-02 and went with the second Wellman expedition in 1908 and was volun- teer companion of Andre in 1897. "Dr. Cook is the victim of circum- stances" declared Capt. Baldwin He has simply been misunderstood by the public. owing to peculiar and unfortunate circumstances over which he had no control. Cook un- doubtedly discovered the pole months before Peary arrived there. have records. documents and let ters to prove this. Cook never had chance to prove he arrived at the role because of the violent attack made on him by Peary's friends. He was overwhelmed with accusations. Mark my words: He will be com pletely' vindicated soon."
 Capt. Baldwin has a trunk full of documents, records, letters and pho tos which will back up Cook and disprove Peary's claims.
 On Saturday evening. the 29th, there will appear at the Orpheum Carters Original Carolinian Jubilee Singers, who sing the old negro mel odies, plantation and camp meeting songs, as well as the higher ciassi- cal music. They will no doubt please all who hear them as they have received great commendation all through the United States during their travels in the past six years.

 Youths Companion: We are ac- customed to think of the smoke nuisance as modern phenome- non, but Prof. V. B. Dewes shows that it raised so much indignation in England coo years ago that a de cree was made forbidding the use of bituminous coal for fuel Such fuel was then a new thing.
 In the time of Queen Elizabeth another attempt to use bituminous coal was defeated by public oppo- sition to the smoke. The third ef- fort attained complete success in the nineteenth century and now the quantity of smoke belched into the air is so great that Prof. Lewes lik- ems it to a cumulative poison which aids in shortening life, killing vege- tation and tegriming and destroying buildings.

DISAPPOINTMENT IN
 REPORT Oh STEEL
Heaviness in U. s, Steel a Feature of the Market
 Copper SagS

NEW YORK, April 25.-some pro gress was made today in the direc- ton of higher prices on the stock exchange, despite the fact that the pressure which has been directed against stocks in the last few days has not relaxed.
 The market displayed strong pow CTS of resistance after a long period of weakness which followed the open ing and recovered firm.
 For a large part of the day the business again centered around Unit ed States Steel. The trading in these shares constituted nearly one-third of the total days business. The heav- mess of the stock earsy in the day was ascribed to tbc report of Chair man Gary's resignation. The relort, however, was quickly denied by Nhe chairman and the stock recovere1 The quarterly statement, isss.ad aftsi the close of the market, was disap- rointing. the estimates of earnings having been in the neighborhood of s2s, ,000. 900, as compared with s2S.- 51s, ,O00 shown in the report. The un- expectedly small figures for the quar- ter were explained largely by the January earnings. which were less than s6,009,000.
 The activity and strength of the copper shares during the last two days and reports of huge sales were followed today by the statement that one of the largest agencies had re- duced it's selling price of copper from 12k to 12 1-4 cents. It is un- derstood that large sales were made at the latter rate.
 The Hartman shares were affect ed adversely at the opening by the ruling against the Southern Pacific in the Oregon Land case, but the Southern Pacific. which lost a point, quickly recovered and Union Pacific was one of the strongest stocks at the close.
