THOUSANDS OF
AVAILABLE H0MESTEADS
Western Canada's Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever a reservation is opened by
the u. S. government reveals the fact
that there Is a great desire on the
part of the American people to get
land. The fact that tens Of thousands
are on hand at every opening, and on
ly few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
in the gift Of the government are rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that are of proved
value have advanced in price to such
an extent that it becomes serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming,
where he shall go. Fortunately there
is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta, thousands of free homesteads
of 100 acres each, which may be had,
by the simple process of filing, paying
a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
it for six months each year for three
years. There is no necessity to make
a long, tedious and expensive journey,
only to find you have one chance in
fifty of getting what you want. AL
though this homesteading has been
going on in Canada for a number of
years, and hundreds of thousands Of
them have been taken by hundreds of
thousands of Americans, there re-
mains sufficient to last for some time,
and of as good land as any that has
| yet been taken up. In fact, in the
opinion of very many, those that are
| left are of the best They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
| dulge in the growing of grain, wheth-
er it be wheat, oats, barley or fax,
| but in addition these lands are admir-
| ably adapted for mixed farming, a
| class of farming that is certain to give
| better returns than that of all grain
| growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building Is within reach, and water is
easy to get. These lands are located
in the park districts of any of the
three provinces; groves Of trees in
tersperse the landscape and give it 6
beauty that can only be attained ir
the more open prairie sections by the
planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way is being carried on to great ex
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lands which may be had BY
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price as
their productive qualities and their 10
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West
ern Canada in 1913 was one of tn,
best of the number of good crops tina
that country has raised. Wheat ha
been reported with yields of from 8,
to As bushels per acre, and other grail
with like heavy yields.-Advertise

Gus Christie Sticks
Limit, but Receives
Lacing From Chip

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 13.-George Chip,
two-time winner over Frank Klaus via
the X. o. route, failed to put Gus Chris
tie away in their ten-round battle here
last night but he handed the home boy
a nifty licking. Eight OF the ten rounds
went to the Scranton middleweight.
Christie drew the only blood of the
night, cutting Chips mouth in the sew
enth round Christie showed more signs
of life in the fifth round, but it was
Chips by good shade. Near the end
of the round, after a lot of wrestling
and pushing around the ring, Chip
slipped a hard right uppercut TO Chris
ties jaw, almost lifting him off his
feet.
Chip mauled Christie all over the ring
in the eighth, smuggling him with mil
lion hard lefts and rights to the stom-
ach. He was wabbling at the bell.
Christie about held his own in the ninth.
He stung Chip several times with lefts
to the stomach, but they did not hurt.
Chip rushed in the final and. swinging
wildly, was evidently trying to put over
the knockout punch.

By Willie Ritchie.

CAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-The
majority of the people who saw
the twenty-round championship
battle between Wolgast and myself
left the arena under the impression
that | won a lucky victory and that
the champion should have knocked me
out. | have been termed the luckiest
man in the fight game ever since, and
have been roasted repeatedly for not
giving Wolgast another chance.
While / am not looking for any
more credit than is coming to me,
and while | am not trying to do any
hoasting, | want to say in my own
defense that my victory over Wolgast
was entirely on the level, and that If
he had not fouled me l would have
knocked him out, for l had him all
but finished when he struck that low
blow.
| don't know what was the matter
with Wolgast when we stepped into
the middle of the ring and shook
hands, but he certainly looked wor-
ried. He twitched and fiddled around
and that air of onfidence which he
had in all his other fights was not
there. | studied him very closely, and
l did not make a mistake, no matter
what any of them say.
| went into that ring determined to
take a beating. ! knew that he would
rush and tear around and land many
punches on me. ! trained myself for
just such battle. But in the mean
time | figured that ] could stand the
pace and come back strong. while
Wolgast would tire and weaken If he
failed to put me away in ten rounds.

hands I did the best | could and /

NIT that he shook me up. He was
strong and aggressive, and ! know
that he was taking a desperate chance
20 win quickly as he could
The fight went along for eight
rounds, and Wolgast had all the bet
ter of it. He punished me severely
about the head and the body. He
kept covered up all the time, and |
confidence, and along about the SIKH
round he began to cali me all kinds
OF names and told me how he was
going to knock me stiff.
He was champion, and l made Up
my mind that ! would have to stand
for anything that he said to me. Be-
sides, this line of talk did not rattle
me. / heard ii so often in my other
fights that | was well used to It. But
it showed that Wolgast was getting
more confident.
| noticed that he began to slow
down in the eighth round. and I also
noticed that he was getting bit
careless and not guarding himself as
he did at the start And ] also no.
ticed that his blows lacked force.
He came at me with his usual rush
me that he had let me stay long

, and his usual line of talk He told
enough and that he intended to knock
me out, as he had given the crowd a
run for its money.
Blow to Body Counts Most.
But he did not take care to qua I'd

that he was holding his hands up, and
] saw where | had grand chance to
whip in good, effective punch.
AS we came out of clinch VOL
CAST raised his arms to his head, and
this little movement. I believe, made
me champion. l whipped my right
into his body, and l can still hear his
groan and see pain on his face.
This blow counted more than the
one with which | fioored him in the
sixteenth round. 1t was not noticed
by many, but those who did see II
paid little attention to 1t. But awav
down deep in my hea., ! know tina.
this blow took most of the fight out
of Wolgast and hurt him, for | saw
Tom Jones give him brandy in his
corner.
Right here | want to say that ! give
Harry Foley more credit than any
body else for winning the champion
ship for me. Although my manager
Billy Nolan, was supposed to be my
chief adviser, ! paid more attention
to the orders which Foley gave ma
from my corner. In fact. he was the
man that l had the most confide< &C
in.

his hardest ones already, and ! don't

round"
Anyhow, Wolgast kept tearing IN
after me and landing punch after
punch on my head and body. ] was
taking beating right along, but his
blows were not hurting me. He had
me badly cut up about the head, and
my body was red. but | felt strong

kept after his body and whipped
in few which made him grunt. But
he was getting on to my style, and he
protected himself much better after
the tenth round. 1t was then that
realized | must play for his head and
take chance. I knew that one good
punch in the jaw would win me the
lightweight championship OF the
world.
But the question was to get him 10
drop his guard. AS all the fans know
Wolgast is wonder at covering up
his head and crouching. He always
did have a glass jaw, and he was
smart enough to realize this.

In concluding this chapter, I want
to say that l really believe Wolgast
