Walsh. a banker capitalist OF Sheridan.
Wyo.. who is in Europe, conveys news
that he is closing a sale of bonds for
the construction of the long-prOjecteu
Miles titN-Sheridan railroad. The pro-
Jcct was launched some years age for
the purpose of providing d new outlet
for the big cOal production OF Sher-
idan. hut. owing to many obstacles
met with in the money market. at
tempts heretofore to place the bonds
have failed. II was locally understood
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul
interests were to finance the building
of The proposed line, but Mr.. Walsh's
letter seems to suggest that European
capital will be- behind it. The road
will follow the Tongue river tor La
Zeeka as the Indians named it,, and
will be about $50 miles in length. 1t
will open hundreds of thousands OF
acres OF rich lands heretofore given
over to grazing solely.

CHllD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
rel heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called T. baby
rash. He gave us medicine. but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. It was
awful: the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment.
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head Of hair. I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund. Plain City. Utah. Sept. 10. 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment are sold everywhere. a sample
OF each. with 32-page book. will be
mailed free on application to "Cuu'
cura." Dept. L. Boston.

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions Of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever een in that country. into
but little more than an average yield
OF all grains. there is left in the
farmers hands. a big margin of profit.
or course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand.
some returns. From wheat. oats. bar.
ley and fax marketed to the list Of
January. 1912. there was a gross rev.
enue OF SIS .384.OO0 The cattle. hogs.
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to SOL 500, 900 or 81 million
dollars in excess Of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about IS million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-ive mil
lion dollars following for inferior
grades). besides about 100 million
bushels Of oats to say nothing Of bar
ley and fax. which would run into sew
eral million of dollars.
There is a great thrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through.
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards Of 131 900 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
Of these took up farms. over ten thou
sand having homesteaded. in fact the
records show hat every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go SO far away as the
homesteading area. have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early spring. it
is safe to predict a RECORD crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
