THE HAMILTON TRACT

of the river.
Practically all OF the land in the
Hamilton site. which extends from
the southern limits of Hamilton down
toward Warsw, will have to be re-
claimed. It is all low land, often over
flowed, and it is understood the plan
now is to build a concrete dixie along
the river and drain 1t SO as to make
the site almost perfect as regards
topography.
The land Is along the river and Mr..
Marsh announced at the bridge heal

give almost every factory water

price because Of this fact and the
promoters think will prove very at.

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

The deepest interest is attached to
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 IL 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. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing az 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 were got In In good
shape, although from q week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th OF June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada we're: 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 indi-
cation Of a 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 In 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

the alert" said Cotter. Every one
knows the old trick with q hunk Of
chewing gum. The first thief sticks a
ring under the ledge Of the counter
with the gum. Then the other comes
along and runs his hand under the
counter edge and gets the ring and
vamooses. Open umbrellas are often
used as receptacles.
The neatest trick turned lately was
in the west. when q good looking, well
dressed man sauntered into jewelry
store with an apple in his hand. He
looked at tray filed with valuable
rings.
"Wah!" he suddenly sputtered.
This apple is woEmy."
Whereupon he threw the apple into
the street. The confederate. on the
lookout, picked up the apple and the
gem which had been hidden in It and
made OF. An almost equally nifty de-
vice is to equip the collar Of a pet
dog with q secret pocket When the
stolen ring has been placed in the
pocket, while the operator is petting
the animal. It leaps to the floor.
Catch my dear little doggie." yelps
the bereaved shoplifter.
Every one hurries to oblige. The

into the groove and scampers for
