CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement or
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent 1900 silver
trophy awarded by the State Of Colo
RADIO for the best peck OF oats. Al
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. c. Hill *
Sons OF Lloydminster. Saskatchewan,
placed a peck OF oats grown on their
farm In competition, with oats from
every part OF the world. The judges
had no difficulty in deciding, and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912. the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition, and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition OF the Society
was held at Columbus, 8. c., and 1t is
said Of 1t that it was one of the best
yet held. AT this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons OF Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck Of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, In 1912. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching a decision.
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
flax-have been in competition with
grains from all other countries, and In
every case their superiority has been
shown. II Is not only in oats, but II
Is in wheat, in barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up to the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
in the districts contiguous, where the
conditions OF climate, shelter, water,
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large IN
profits. II was in the Province OF

PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND
WeII-Furnished Expedition Returns
Without the Riches 1t Had Been
In Search OF.

The treasure-hunting party from
Plymouth, England. which has been
searching Cocos island In the Pacific
for treasure supposed to have been
buried there by pirates many years
ago, has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the
hoped for pirate spells. The Melmore
sailed from Barry In September last,
carrying in addition to the officers
and crew, two London ladies ana
three gentlemen financially interested
In a venture which was fondiy hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit
Two other unsuccessful attempts TO
locate the buried gold and jewels OF
the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-
william and Mr.. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith Of the members OF
the Melmore expedition, who declared
they had specific information OF the
exact position of the accumulated
hoard
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima In 1920. consisting OF gold
bullion and articles to the value OF
about SIS, O0o. 900. and the other treas
ure, which is placed at an even high
er figure, was taken TO Cocos island
by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite
the care with which the Mefmore was
fitted out--the expedition was esti-
mated to cost $500, 000-the search APP
pears to have been fruitless.

which he holds that the Burke bill
which prohibits liquor dealers from
extending credit for purchases OF
LIQUOR in less than a quart, is uncon-
stitutional. lie holds that under tie
terms OF the bill the Legislature as
sumes police powers and declares that
such legislation is repugnant to the
state and federal constitutions. The bill
has passed the house and is ready for
final action in the senate. House
members are considerably disturbed by
the opinion Attorney General Fellows
has furnished the senate to the effect
that each county with moiety OF the
ratio of representation fixed by the
house in its bill reapportioning its rep
resentative districts, is entitled to a
separate representative.
The moiety is 14,051 and under the
opinion the following counties which
are grouped with other counties must
be given separate representatives, I'M
der the opinion: Cheboygan, Emmett,
Alpena, Antrim, Charlevoix. Wexford,
Osceola, Mason, Oceana, Newaygo and

the whole system of representative
will have to be changed or the repre-

field for speaker of the house OF rep

ler's first term in the house, but his
personal magnetism and his ability as
an orator, has won him the position
as leader of the first termers, and there
are many in the house who believe
that Weidenfeller is the logical man
to WELD the gavel at the next ses-
sion. The Van Buren, county repre-,
sentative has led the fight for all pro
gressive measures and has expressed
his opinions in a fearless and honest
manner. 1t will be a merry battle for
supremacy between Weidenfeller and
Henry if they are both returned at the
next session. but at the present time
it appears that Weidenfeller has a
slight lead However, it is expected
that other candidates will appear be-
fore the close of the present session
but IL Weidenfeller can secure the
pledges of the younger republicans in
the house he will be a hard man 70
