CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING For
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached ia
the condition of the grain crops in
Western Canada. especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern.
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatche.
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year.. LASH
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready Of
land this spring made q considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax we're got in in good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through.
out Western Canada gives every as.
surance of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indt
cation of bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking well. although late
and rather short III straw"
This is followed by report July
9Th: "Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada In 1913

CHAPTER XIV.
In the Blizzard.


There was no cessation, no abate-
ment. Across a thousand miles Of
plain the ice-laden wind swept down
upon them with the relentless fury of
a hurricane, driving the snow crystals
into their faces, buffeting them merci-
lessly, numbing their bodies, and blind
ing their eyes. In that awful grip they
looked upon Death. but struggled on,
as real men must until they fall.
Breathing was agony; every step be-
came torture; fingers grasping the
horses bits grew stiff and deadened
by frost; they reeled like drunken
men, sightless in the mad swirl, deaf
ened by the pounding of the blast
against their ears. All consciousness
left them! only dumb instinct kept
them battling for life, staggering for
ward, foot by foot, odd phantasies Of

hands Of the men behind. The Ser
geant, shading his eyes, half smoth-
cred in the blast, could see merely i'll
defined shadows.
"All caught?'
The answers were inaubihle.
For the Lords sake. speak up; an

Here"
Wade"

Here"
Good; now come on after me-"
He drove his horse forward, head
bent low over the compass, one arm
flung up across his mouth to prevent
inhaling the icy air. He felt the tug
of the line; heard the labored breath
ing of the next horse behind, but saw
nothing except that wall of swirling
snow pellets hurled against him by a
pitiless wind. fairly decorating the
flesh. 1t was freezing cold; already
he felt numb, exhausted, heavy-eyed.
The air seemed to penetrate his cloth
ing, and prick the skin as with a thou
sand needles. The thought came that
if he remained in the saddle he would
freeze stir. Again he turned, and sent
the voice of command down the strug-
Cling line:
"Dismount; wind the rope around
your pommels. Sam. How far is it to
the Cimarron?"
"More'n twenty miles"
"All right! We've got to make it,
boys" forcing note of cheerfulness
into his voice. Hang on to the bit
even if you drop. may drift to the
west, but that won't lose us much.
Come on, now"
"Hamlin, let me break trail"
Well take 1t turn about. Sam. It'll
be worse in an hour than it is now.
All ready, boys"
Blinded by the sleet, staggering to
the fierce pummelling Of the wind. yet
clinging desperately to his horses bit,
the Sergeant struggled forward in the
swirl of the storm.

Imagination beginning to beckon. In
their weakness, delirium gripped their
half-mad brains. yielding new strength
to fight the snow fiend. Aching In
every point, trembling from fatigue,
they dare not rest an instant. The
wind, veering more to the east. dashed
their faces like whip. They crouched
behind the horses to keep out of the
sting of it, crunching the snow, now
in deep drifts, under their half-frozen
feet.
Wade, a young fellow not overly
strong, fell twice. They placed him
in the center, with Carroll bringing
up the rear. Again he went down,
face buried in the snow, crying like a
babe Desperately the others dashed
him into his saddle, binding a blanket
about him, and went grimly stagger-
ing on, his limp figure rocking above
them. Hour succeeded hour in cease
less struggle; no one knew where they
we're, only the leader staggered on,
his eyes upon the compass. WATSON
and Hamlin took their turns tramping
TRAIL the snow often to their knees.
They had stopped speaking, stopped
thinking even. ALI their movements
became automatic, instructive, the re-
suit of iron discipline. They realized
the only nope attainment of the Cim-
arron bluffs. There was no shelter
there in the open, to either man or
horse; the sole choice left was to
struggle on, or lie down and die The
last was likely to be the end of it,
but while drop Of blood ran red and

The day grew dark and murky as
ssley moved steadily forward, the wind
blew cold from out the northwest, the
heavy canopy of cloud settled lower in
r. frosty fog, which gradually obscured
Che landscape. This mist became so
thick that the men could scarcely see
g hundred yards In any direction. and
Hamiin placed pocket compass on
his saddle-pommel The trail was less
distinct as they traversed a wide
streak OF alkau, but what few signs re-
manned convinced WATSON that the fu-
Gsttves were still together, and riding
southwark. Under concealment of the
fog bis previous caution relaxed, and
sae led the way at steady trot, only
occasionally drawing rein to make GER

horses hides, reddening and binding
&he eyes, poisoning the lips dry and
Esarched with thirst. The two troopers
aRore grimly, but the Sergeant and
zs3ut rode in silence, bent low over
shetr pommels, eyes strained into the
EHZst ahead. 1t was not yet dark when
SSassy rode in between tho first sand
dunes, and WATSON, pulling his horse
vEp short, checked the others with up
lifted hand.
