dressed to the land offices, reads as

preparation for sundry civil ex-
penses of the government for the

That the failure of the home

election of making final proof as re-
qulred by act of June s, 1912. being

Gated under the new law.
Respecting cultivation necessary
to be shown upon such entry in all
cases where, upon considering the
whole record, the good faith of the
entryman appears, the proof will be
acceptable if it shows cultivation of
at least one-sixteenth for one year
and of at least one-eighth for the
next year until final proof without
regard to the particular year of the
HON estead period in which the cul-
tiyation of the one-sixteenth was

The new law also requires that
the proof shall be made within five
years from the date of entry ant
! If the entry is to be administered
under that law, the department is
not authorized to extend the period
within which proof may be made
but when submitted after that time
in the absence of adverse claims, the
: entry may be submitted to the board
of equitable adjudication for con

CONGESTING THE MARKET.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Can
ada, says that w. B. Lannigan, as
sistant freight traffic manager for
the Canadian Pacific railroad, in an
interview has opened up some inter
esting aspects of the present mar
keting conditions in western Canada.
He estimates that 100000 a year
is lost to the west by reason of the
vast amount of grain which is thrown
on the market in a short period An
Indirect but substantial loss is caus-
ed by the railways having to haul an
abnormal number of empty cars
from the lake front. Under these
portation is impossible. Improved
storage facilities on the farm and an
| amendment to the bank act authoriz-
ing the banks to loan money to the
farmer on the security of the grain
held by him in storage, are the prin-
ciple remedies proposed.
In the first place the bank act
should be amended so that the far
mer will not be obliged to market so
large a proportion of his crop i'm
mediately after harvesting to meet
his pressing necessities. There is
no reason in my mind why a farmer
of good character, having a tangible
asset in grain should not be per-
tilted to get the same accommodation
from the banks that is afforded to
any other bushes man with similar
assets.
1T is estimated that the average
farmer is forced to market 60 per
cent of his crop at once to meet his
current expenses and other liabili-
ties. The result is, that in the COM
parative short period, between Sep
TENDER Is and the close of naviga-
ton, or practically 70 days, roughly
speaking, 100000 bushels of wheat
per day is pressed on the world
market at the lake front, greater
quantity than the eastern domestic
or the export market can absorb.
THE effect of glut of this kind
oc the price is apparent to every per-
son. The profit of the farmer and his
consequent purchasing capacity, is
seriously diminished and the whole
country suffers as natural conse-
quence. The railroads are forced to
transport enormous quantities of
grain in one direction, and to do this
are obliged to haul in the opposite
direction an abnormal number of
empty cars, producing tremendous
activity for period of practically 70
days out of $685."

President Taft has placed the
