Alaska Gold Miner Sends Plea to

plores Jurist Not to Grant Di-
vorce to Wife for Desertion--
Writes Of Struggle.

Spokane. Wash.--William r. Miller,
a placer gold miner of Glacier Creek,
Alaska, gives an inkling of the strug-
giles of prospectors in the North coun-
try in a pathetic letter to the probate
judge of the Spokane county superior
court, protesting against the granting
of decree to his wife, Mrs. Jane Mil
Ter, a nurse, in Spokane, who insti-
tuted proceedings for divorce, charg-
ing desertion In 1897 and failure to
provide for his family.
Miller says in his letter that he
has received no notice of the PEN
dency OF the divorce case from his
wife or her attorneys, but heard OF
the case from roundabout sources. He
recites numerous reasons why the d.
vorce should not be granted and
makes pathetic plea for the preser-
walton of his Nome and fireside To
combat the charge OF neglecting to
provide for his family he has sent
postal receipts to show that he has
sent $500 at various times. Part or
the letter follows:

ECZEMA DlSFlGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He>has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

COSTS LESS THAN IS
CENTS A RUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
A FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year of 1911 than did almost any
other portion of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops of all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the eff Gets Of this We're
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and SO bushels yield Of
wheat we're reduced to Is and 80 bush
els, while some of course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. the quality was also lowaed.
In face OF these conditions, it is found
that during The months of Septen. her
and October, the total amount of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total Of 1872 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 9TH cents: that below contract
for the two months was little over
Is million bushels, which at an aver
age price of S91a cents per bushel
realized little over eleven million
dollars. or grand total for all wheat
of 80 million bushels, which realized
a total of a little over thirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was in the hands of the farmers of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
OF the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of number
of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for lens than 55 cts. bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel This would make the
cost of production and freight GO cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat OF
171s cts. and for his high-grade wheat
of 1915 IT'S; and though this is not
as large profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value OF low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

Mute Offered $50 to Speak

In court Grownest still stuck to his

tempts on the part of the judge to
trap him into speech. Not able to de-

Jail and sent for Mrs. Elmer Bates.
president of the Society for the Deaf.
and asked her to talk to him.
After trying in vain to talk to him
through the sign language, Mrs. Bates
came to the conclusion also that the
man was taking. In court the Judge
sentenced the man to $50. costs and
thirty days in the workhouse.
If you will speak one word / will
throw off the $50 from the sentence"

The mans face grew red and his
lips moved as though he were about
to speak Then his jaws snapped
shut and he shook his head. He was
sent to Warrenville farm.
