CANADA'S PLACE
AS 4 PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

Three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta" says
New York financial journal, "have al
ready made Winnipeg one of the great
est primary wheat markets Of the
world. In 1904 they raised 5S,000,000
bushels Of wheat. Five years later
they produced 150,000,000 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated 100000
600 bushels. At the present rate OF
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third in
the line of wheat producers. Ulti-
mately 1t will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer of our
development. Undoubtedly 1t will
prove the same with Canada. In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination is
needed to see what the future devel-
opment Of Canada means to the
people of the United States.
The influx Of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies Is now in full
swing. Within the past few days
over so Of those arrived at Bassand
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value of 100000. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta a few
days ago; while Is families of settlers
from the state of Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects of this
party filled 20 box cars OF live stock

and 1000 head of poultry. Another
class of settler has arrived at Peers,
ITO miles west Of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them large amount of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling.

the settlement Of new people is going
on steadily. Early in April, Peter
Goertz arrived In Cardiff after a six.
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge of party Of SO
people from the same part Of Kansas
and they came through with a special
train which included all their stock
and implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first

SUFFRAGE COLUMN
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE

The erroneous idea seems to exist
in the minds of many that granting
women the right to vote will make
them suddenly conspicuous in the
public eye. This is an unjustifed idea
because after all the making of a
little mark on a piece of paper is a
very inconspicuous thing compared
with the thousand of other things
women are allowed to do in order to
make their wishes known.
Samuel NJ. Crothcrs in the follow
ing extract very clearly expresses
the real unobtrusiveness of the
ballot:
Women can express their opin-
ions on the platform. by petition, on
the street corners, in the newspapers,
and in all obtrusive ways on an equal
with man. but not by the unobtrus-
i've way of the ballot. 1t is as though
one might talk over the telephone or
shout his opinion from the street
corners but must not write it in a
letter."

FARMER MURDERED
NEAR REDFIELD
Deed Committed Following Argu-
nent Over Wages

Redfeld, Aug. 20:-Guy Farlish,
a prominent farmer residing five
miles east of Tufton. now lies dead
! at his home, the victim of a cold
blooded murder. The deed was
committed Wednesday evening
about 900 o'clock and the murderer
is not yet taken. Posses from Red
field and elsewhere are still securing
the country.
According to the story which
comes to RedfeId from the more
authentic sources Parrish had an
argument with one Of his threshing
hands, Joe Miller, a transient, oyer
the amount of wages due him Far.
lish said $i2 90 aad the worker said
he had $l3,00 coming. Parrish end
ed the discussion by saving that $12
was all he would get and babe him
be gone.
The threshing hand then went to
town. riding part wav with a nearby
farmer. To him he voiced his anger
and made threats against Farlish.
This farmer counseled him against
violence and for return received a
threat from Miller should he 'squeal'
about Miller's declaration to do Far
lish harm.
The hand bought a revolver in
town and disappeared. The farmer
unloaded his wheat and hurried
from town to warn FarliSh. so tie
story goes. When he came upon
the field the hand had already re-
turned and as the neighboring far
mer stood there Parrish appeared.
Before any word Of warning could
be given the criminal walked up to
Parrish and began shooting at him.
He fred four times, two shots only
taking effect. They penetrated the
abdomen making wounds from which
Farlish died in 40 minutes.
With two shells yet TO his smoking
gun the murderer defed spectators
and disappeared.
