gardless of expense, or without
thought of future payment. So long
as money could be borrowed tho
craze to improve continued Some
OF the towns have shouldered ob,ipa- :
'ions that will be mill stone to carry
Tor years. One town of about 1000 in
habitants is said to have piled nm a
debt OF 100000. No money is to be
had from the banks at the present
time. There is little work for
mechanics and improvements have
suddenly halted. At Medicine Hat
several hundred artisans locked I'M
their tools and went into the harvest
!lelds to make living, and there is
steady flow southward into the
united States of men looking for en-
ployment. Many teachers were not
paid their salaries last May and June,
and will not return to the school room
until paid. Medicine Hat with a popu-
lation of some $4,000 is dead so far
as business is concerned. That CITY
is not an exception to the rule in the
Alberta country. The same depress-
ing conditions prevail throughout the
greater portion of Canada AS said
above the money stringency and con-
sequent dull times is owing to a long
season of feverish speculation that af-
fected men in every line of business
and every walk of life. Even on the
coast. where it has been predicted
that great cities are to be built, and
indeed were in process of construc-
tion, the same depression prevails. 1t
is the old story repeated of the towns
out-growing the country from which
they must derive support. Fortunate
'y the crops in Alberta this year have
been very heavy, and the weather con-
ditions favorable so that harvest is
about over and all the grain saved.
The good fortune of the agricultural
sections may have the effect of re-
leaving the stringency to some meas
ure in the cities and towns, as the
disposition of the crops will put a
large amount of money in circulation

EASTERN VISITORS

Chas. Tremaine and J. L. Great
singer came in the latter part of las:
week to look after the Dividend mine
Mr.. Tremaine left Oroville for Flor
ida last winter, after a protracted
stay in town, and was in very poor
health after leaving here. He is now
much improved, and the rejuvenating
climate of the supurb Okanogan fall
which contains more of the wine OF
life than any elixir known to phar-
macology, will put new vigor In his
frame. The return of Mr.. Greatsing-
er was a pleasant surprise to the ac.
quaintances he made during his stay
throughout the summer, for when he
left for New York a few weeks ago II
was feared he might never find his
way back to the western edge Of the
United States.

GREAT SPORT

Mr.. and Mrs. r. Butler and Mr.. and
Mrs. J. e. Blackler returned home
Tuesday evening after an absence of
two weeks on a big game hunt in the
mountains west of LOomis, and they
brought in the biggest bag that has
ever rewarded a hunting party from
this place. Among the trophies were
three deer mountain sheep and
mountain goat. The goat was the
patriarch of the flock, judging from
the magnificent set of horns, and it
is seldom a finer set is brought in
from the mountains. The party had
charming weather for the outing and
delightful trip as well as most won
derful luck seeing and getting game.
The only misfortune met with was the
loss of two saddle horses that strayed
from the camp and could not be found
although miles were tramped in the
search.

wood B. c., tomorrow to take charge
of the city and district fair held al
that place as manager. Two years
ago he was in charge of the first fair
ever held in Greenwood, and the ex-
position was such perfect success,
largely through his instrumentality
that he was offered the position of
manager again last year. At that time
Mr. Tilley was with Welch & Stewart,
the railroad contractors, in the north
country, and could not accept the
position. The management was again
rendered him this year. and being foot
loose MIR. Tilley accepted the respon-
sibility. Mr.. Tilley is a man Of re-
sources, an excellent organizer and
has happy faculty of enthusing 9TH
ers. He is we'll equipped for posi-
ton of the kind, and there is no ques-
tion but that he will repeat the record
made two years ago. The people of
Greenwood appreciate the work he
did before, and will lend every as
sistance in aiding him to carry out
such plans as he may formulate. The
Greenwood Ledge of October 5. 1911
speaking of the fair two years ago,
has these flattering words to say of
the prominent part Mr.. Tilley took in
making the first fair what is proved
to be. one of the best held on the
north side Of the international bound
ary line:
"The fair is a grand success. The
writer saw the first fairs held in
Spokane, Nelson and other places and
none of them were equal to the in
itial exhibition in Canada's red metal
metropolis. 1t must be source of
great pleasure to C. c. Tilley, the
manager and secretary. It has been
an uphill fight for him to bring our
first fair to successfully finish, and
he has done his work nobly The
thanks of the community are due Mr..
Tilley and all those who aided him
to make our first fair something of
which every resident in the Boundary
district should be justly proud"

I0G|vE TALK ON ALFALFA
The Alfalfa Brand of Forage
Will Be Learnedly and
Scientificly Treated
VERY IMPORTANT TO FARMERS
Perry 6. Holden, an Eminent Az
thority on Farming, to Visit
the Okanogan Country

Prof Perry G. Holden, the alfalfa
expert. will visit Oroville and the Okla
nogan valley on October 18th during
his 4O-day campaign in eastern WASH
ington. Prof. Holden will travel in a
special train of five cars, and will be
accompanied by Representatives of in
fluential newspaper and press
bureaus. members of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce and many busi-
ness men of that city. According to
the itinerary as fixed by the alfalfa
rom--..ee of the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce last Thursday, Prof Hold
en- and his companions will arrive in
Oroyille Friday morning, October II,
70 from here to Okanogan and r,turn
stopping at Omak, Riverside, Ton .sNet
and returning to Oroville in the even
Ing, where he will remain over
night, leaving Saturday morning at
10 o'clock for Nelson, and thence back
towards Spokane.
The alfalfa campaign is to start
$ from Spokane on the 23rd of this
month and wind up at that city on
the 29th of October. All of the coun-
try along the O.-W. r. & N. the North
ern Pacific, the l. & w. N. and the
Great Northern and it's branches in
eastern Washington will be covered
by the party
1t is the biggest educational CAM
paign of the kind ever attempted in
this state, and in planning it the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce has ad-
opted an enlightened policy of help
ing Spokane by helping to build up
the country tributary to that city.
Prof. Holden will come to talk and
preach alfalfa growing to the farm
ers. He will want farmer audiences,
and what he will have to say and the
interesting but most instructive to
his audiences. OrOville has worked
hard to induce the Spokane Chamber
OF Commerce to route the professor
and his party through this valley. and
every effort will be made to greet the
alfalfa expert with large audiences
wherever he lectures in this valley.
He breaches a doctrine that will lead
to prosperity. and many farmers have
already expressed an eagerness to
hear him lecture.
Prof. Holden is man of ideas,
force and ability. He Is a convincing
talker, and knows what he talks about
thoroughly. His lectures will be
helpful and suggestions that can be
followed with profit. He is the man
who waged the great corn growing
campaign in Iowa a number of years
ago with splendid results, and there
can be no doubt that his coming to
this state will result in great benefit
to the farmers of eastern Washing
ton.
The trip planned for Prof. Hold
en- and party by the Spokane Chamber
OF Commerce will cover a distance
Of 1900 miles, traverse five railroads
and include stops at 140 towns of
the Inland Empire.
Or0ville IS fortunate in being
selected as one of those towns, and
everybody in the surrounding ter
ritory should take advantage of the
opportunity that will be afforded to

RAILROAD COMPANIES MAKING
STRENUOUS EFFORTS TO MOVE
BIG cRoP-THRESHING OPERA
TONS PROGRESS RAPIDLY
SHORT STRAW AIDS WORK.

The different railroads tapping the
great wheat areas of North Dakota
are making strenuous efforts to re-
,lieve what threatens to be a conges-
ton because of lack of cars in the
near future. the rapidity with which
farmers are completing. threshing OPP
erations and the general demand for
cars by elevator men all over the
state within a few days indicating
possibilities of a tie-up.
The short straw, good weather for
the last three weeks and general har-
conditions all tended to aid in
the work of gathering the grain and
having it ready for shipment weeks
earlier than usual and the railroads
may not have been quite prepared for
this.
There are always a number of farm
ers who desire to rush in grain to
market soon after t%hreshfng to have
ready money to meet bills incurred
during the harvest and this condition
is manifest to a larger degre this year.
IRemarking on the probability of
farmers holding their grain for higher
prices, a well-posted mar said yes

While the f~orehanded farmer. who
can will probably hold his grain for
higher prices, it is not every man who

crop early. This will probably tend to
hold the prices down for a time. but I
look for wheat to move up within a
short time"
The Northern Pacific railroad has
word that two immense freight trains
of empties are on the way to the VAL
ley and the Great Northern as well is
expecting hundreds of cars in the fore
part Of the week. 1t is anticipated

PRIZES FOR
BEST GRAIN
PROF. n. L. BoLLEY CALLS AT.
TENTIoN OF NORTH DAKOTA
FARMERS TO VALUABLE PRIz-
Es OFFERED AT DRY FARMING
CONGRESS.

/ wish to call the attention of the
farmers of North Dakota to some very
interesting prizes that will be given
at the International Dry Farming
congress at Tulsa, Okla" says III. L.
Bolley Of the A. C. This congress
arranged for are very fine ones and
North Dakotans ought to be able to
carry off a number of them this year,
particularly so inasmuch as many OF
our farmers have raised not only fair
crops of grain. but grain of particu-
larly high quality. -
II have a letter from the secretary
asking especially that the farmers Of
North Dakota be notified regarding
the prizes, as this state is included in
the range of territory which admits Of
competition. There are fine prizes Of
fered for almost all kinds Of cereal
grains. The sweepstake prize for the
best bushel of wheat this year is a
$3.50 threshing machine, given by M.
Rumely Co. Of LaPorte, Ind. 1t is
stated that the company will furnish
any size desired, complete with feeder,
windstacker and weigher, and will de-
liver it, freight and duty prepaid, to
any of the company's distributing
points in North America. The secre-
tary also calls attention to the fact
that there is a cash prize of $50 offer
ed for the best peck of faxseed grown
in any n of the states Of the union.
The writer is of the opinion that some
North Dakotan should easily be able
to capture this prize. a
Any one who wishes a. complete
list of the prizes offered at the Dry
Farming congress competition should
address a card to c. C. Williams, chief

new ILLUSTRATED
BOOK OF PANAMA
SHOWING THE WORLDS GREAT
WATERWAY IN PICTURE AND
PROSE FROM BEGINNING TO
END-WlLL BE READ BY MIL
LIONS.

No similar book ever published will
be so widely read as Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose, which
The Forum presents to its readers on
the plan explained elsewhere in this
issue. 1t is a great big, beautiful VOL
ume, twice the size of an ordinary
novel, and contains the complete story
or the Panama canal in picture and
prose.
Willis j. Abbot, the author of this
book, has for many years been a writ
er on international topics. This has
not only fitted him for handling the
subject in question, but has given him
a large acquaintance among officials
who have been instrumental in build
ing this mighty interoceanic water
way. SO the story is complete, from
the time when Columbus sought for a
natural water course to the Pacific
ocean,, up through the centuries of
revolution and warfare, and on
through to the realization of the
greatest achievement of this day and
age. 1t tells of the people n the
country; the various strange modes OF
life; the occupations, sports and pas
times of the natives; how they live
and dress; in fact, it is filled with loo
al color and heart interest set forth in
a chatty style that at once grasps and
holds the reader to the very end.
SuCn d Work cannot help but be of
vast Importance in the education of
all who would desire to keep abreast
of the times. The old as well as the
young will find information of rare
educational value throughout this vol
ume. The Illustrations cover every
subject treated. They consist of more
than 500 Photographic reproductions,
and include numerous full pages III
coolrs that portray the richness of the
scenery in this great tropical garden.
No similar work was ever so profuse-
iy and extensively illustrated.
n Forum wants every one of its
readers to have a copy of this beau
tiful new Illustrated book, and to that
end a certificate is printed daily in
these columns, six of which enable the
bearer to get it when accompanied by
a small expense fee to the ac-
tual cost of the various items of dis
tribution. This is all explained in the
Panama certificate.
