WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT
uRAL DEVELOPMENT.

One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business In
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not
boom, but merely the outcome Of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely In Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million BUSH
els Of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1894; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most Of these people have gone to
the farms, and 1t is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full
filled Of half billion bushel crop Of
wheat in Western Canada. Advertise

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, ETC.
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and If we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work. so that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and long train of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas. and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman

threefourths corn 1t makes an excel
lent silage. At this station-Man-
hattan-we have planted cowpeas IN
corn at the last cultivation for num-
Der of seasons and usually they make
a fair growth. But II the fall is dry
the peas do not make much growth
until the corn is mature.
The growing Of cowpeas greatly
improves the soil. Being rank feed
er and deep rooted. the crop Is able
to use plant food which the roots OF
other plants may not secure. Much OF
this plant food later becomes avail
able to other crops planted after the
rotation with cowpeas. This crop
has the advantage over other crops
which are not legumes, In that 1t is
able to use the free nitrogen OF the
air through the aid of the bacteria
which live upon its roots. The plow-
ing under of a crop Of green cowpeas
will greatly increase the supply OF
humus and nitrogen in the soil, and
even when the crop is harvested for
hay or seed some increase in soil will
result from the decay Of the roots
left in the soil.
In most soils of this state nitrogen
Is the limiting element Of fertility,
and anything that will increase the
nitrogen supply Of the soil will in
crease the soils productiveness. The
cowpea, having this ability to secure
nitrogen from the atmosphere, not
only produces more abundantly than
a crop not having this power, but
leaves the soil in better condition
for the crops which follow.

work. He was the most painstsking
workman I ever knew, but as he had
worked In the treasury department he
knew the kind OF game he was up
against. and did not want to make any
mistakes. He made two dies and
threw them away. because they did
not suit him. The money that was
made from these rejected dies would
have passed anywhere except among
experts. but Billy was in the game to
beat experts. In my opinion he had
not his equal in the world as. an en-

Billy finally finished his dies, and

in the mint, but our SO and $40 coins
were Just as good as any that ever
left the mint, with-the exception that
the impression made on the front and
back Of the coins was not quite as
heavy as the genuine. After the
stamping the money was put into a
milling machine. to corrugate the
edges. and an oiled roller, to give the
coin the. appearance Of age.
The coin, as fast as It was made.
was put into kegs, and when we got
enough the kegs were shipped'to Eng
land, and after satisfactory arrange
ments had been made upon the other
side. were reshipped to this country
through o regular broker. Gold was
at that time selling at q premium OF
from 1870 to $40, and the kegs OF gold
were consigned to Wells & Co.. reput-
able brokers in this city. to the credit
Of Nathaniel Storms, the representa-
tive Of a foreign syndicate. There
were any number of bidders for the
gold when It was offered for. sale, ard
we got rid Of the whole lot for about
$4,000.

DETECTIVE ADAMS STORY.

There never was o Job, said Detec'
tive Adams, worked in this country,
which could match the great gold coin
swindle 80 successfully carried out
upon the expert dealers in money In
Wall street. No class Of people are
easier to beat than Wall street men
provided they are met upon their own
stamping ground by fearless men who
deal with them upon an apparently
solid platform.
As recall It, the bogus coin dis
posed Of was worth, face value, about
100000, and the thieves were kind
enough to 60 in and get the premium
upon this sum. The firm which han
died the gold in this city was Wells &
Co., and they were above suspicion
The coin was sent to them from Frink
& Beaman, an honorable London firm
of bankers, and every connection
from start to finish had all the marks
Of q genuine transaction. There was
nothing to arouse suspicion except the
gold itself, and that was not critically
examined at the time. because 1t had
been shipped in perfectly regular
manner. Inquiry would probably not
have been made into the transaction
for q long time II 1t had not been for
the disappearance OF Nathaniel
Storms, who had completed the tran
saction with Wells & Co.. and collect.
ed the money for the gold.
Storms came to this country with
the gold and had letters Of introduc-
ton equal to the best certificate Of
character. He represented that he
was the agent Of q syndicate Of for
elgn capitalists who had been quietly
gathering UP all the gold they could
get hold Of in Europe at their own flg-
ures. and had got together several mil
lions of dollars which theynlntended
to put upon the American market to
get the benefit Of the large premium.

this station, cowpeas have made
growth Of twelve to eighteen inches

crop was plowed under. Such fall

for corn the next season, since there
is sufficient time between the blowing
under of the cowpeas and the plant
ing Of corn for the cowpeas to decay
and for the moisture to become re-
plenished in the soil.
