ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush of business that Is sure to
follow, and everywhere there is the
note Of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifiable.
There is, as has been said, a vast
area of the country still open for set.
tlement and homesteading lying in the
center north. Speaking of this part
a writer, who made the trip when the
crop was in its green stage, said:
Just now, the whole country is a
beautiful sight, as it presents itself in
full dress of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and i~nterspersed with pleatings Of
s%hrubbery and patches of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet. cardinal and purple. In trav-
cling over the virgin soil, I have seen
some OF the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid Of a The land In general
is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee. and many millions Of
acres of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop Of 100000, 900 bushels of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is excess
sive, but with W $50 million bushels,
there will be a great deal of satisfac-
ton on the part of the settlers.

being an estimate Of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption Of coal will naturally in
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become so we'll known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions of acres Of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as a hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of flax or bar
ley. there Is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds of thousands who
are filling the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth
of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding. in the making
OF a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There is no desire on the
part of the writer to dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler In the Provinces Of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province of British Column
bia, or to speak of the thousands of in
dividuals whose hundreds of dollars
have made them thousands, but atten-
ton must be paid to the fact that these
people have done well. They are fol-
lowed by their families and their
friends, who also are doing we'll.
Where, a few years ago, seemingly
only months ago, there was nothing
but the open prairie, or if we speak Of
the more central portions Of these
provinces, the park districts, there are
today we'll titled and cultivated farms,
large farms, too, and the herds of cat

A year has passed since the Tragedy IN

a very apparent motive points to the dis
placed nephew, Luke, as the murderer; IN
vain, Louisa, in her ollnd faith, tried 10
prove Luke innocent. Every investigation
brightens the chains Of evidence. At the
coroner's inquest the startling develop
ment that the murdered man is not Phllilp
de Mountford but a common coundrel De-
nounced by his father and mother, who
identified the body as their son, only com
plicates the situation. 1t does not in the
least upset the appalling proofs of Luke's
guilt. A warrant is issued for his arrest
but because of his station in life the police
secretly warn him to leave the country
before the warrant Is served. This he pre-
pares to do. Louisa sees him and asks
him pointedly for the truth. He con-

fortunate in SECURING Mr.. Fischer for a
return engagement but on account OF
the. added expense ii was decided to

mission and ten cents for all persons
holding season tickets. 1t viii be re-
membered that Mr.. Fischer came here
early in the season and gave enc act
of his play in cnnection with the pro
gram offered at the Hammond theater
during the week of January Tth. This
arrangement was made after it was
found impossible to comfortably heat
the church. Over three hundred per-
sons heard him that evening and II is
expected. that the attendance will be
even larger this evenig. Mr.. Fischer
appeared before large audience in
Delphi Ind, last evening and from
