THE GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent Of railway
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province of Al
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 4,097. In all
of the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise of their pow
ers they not only control the rates,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter of education no better
instance Of the advancement that is
taking place can be given than that
found in the information to hand that
attendance at the University Of Al
berta has increased 1000 per cent in
FIVE years, and is now thoroughly rep
resentative of all settled portions OF
the Province. The students in attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis
tricts.
Then as to the prosperity which fol-
lows residence in Western Canada, ].
E. Edward OF Blackie, Alta, gives
splendid testimony. He writes, In
the spring Of 1907 first came to this
locality from the State of Iowa, Cass
County, and located on a quarter sec
ton of land near Blackie. Since COM
ing here have been engaged in mixed
farming, which I have found to be
more profitable than where formerly
lived. On coming here my worldly
holdings were small besides having a
family to care for. I now own three
quarter sections, sixty head Of cattle,
twenty head of horses and forty head
of hogs, without encumbrance.
During the seven years have not
had crop fail. Ny best crop Of oats
averaged ninety bushels per acre, with
a general yield Of thirty-1ve bushels
and upward. Ny best wheat crop aver
aged forty-three bushels per acre.
When I have had smaller yields per
acre I have found that it has been
due to improper cultivation. The win
ters here, although at times the wealth
er is cold, I find as a whole are very
agreeable. The summers are warm,
but not su1try. The summer nights
are cool and one is always assured Of
a good nights rest. My health has
been much better, as I do not suffer
from catarrh since coming here.

The lingerie hat is made of fine,
sheer, cotton embroidery, lace or net,
and forms a special kind OF midsummer
millinery which reappears each year.
The same kinds of embroideries and
laces that are used for making lingerie
gowns or fine underwear are used in
the construction OF this very elegant
millinery; hence the name by which
1t is designated.
The lingerie hat has been in greatest
demand among those who require sew
eral hats for each season, and is one
Of those types made for the "exclus-
i've trade"-that Is, for those who can
afford to indulge q taste for special
millinery to suit special seasons. They
are by no means inexpensive: but 1t
is the work required to make them,
rather than the materials used, that
makes them bring very good prices.
Two lingerie hats shown In the pic
ture given here are Of the picturesque
type. At the left wide embroidery
OF sheer batiste is shirred over frame
smoothly covered with chiffon. The
row Of shirring lover a small cord) at
the base Of the crown forms a frilI
wider than the brim Of the frame,
which falls prettily beyond the brim
edge and drops more at the back than
elsewhere. Here, from under the
brim. loops and long ends of narrow
ribbon, in a light color, hang nearly to
the waist line.
But the striking feature In this hat

The day Of the high class and bril-

coat is with US. Racing meets and
other assemblages Of people who are
in position to make the styles into
fashions reveal the bright-hued sweat
er and sport coat, worn with more
than complacency, especially by the
younger people. Over thin white
dressed and with white sport hats and
white footwear there is a crfspness
and fitness to the occasion In such ap-
parel that makes an instant appeal to
the younger set.
New conditions bring about new COS
tuning for occasions where formerly
only strictly dressy toilettes were in
vogue. The sweater and the sport coat
are at home in the automobile, and the
only kind of millinery that will with
stand the speed OF the open car is that
designed for 1t, hence the sport hat
and the auto bonnet.

FIGURES ON WHEAT REVISED
Kansas Bankers Now Place This
Years Yield at 100000 Bushels
Pests Cause Slump.

Confidential reports from country
bankers indicate that the Kansas
wheat crop viii not go much above
the 100000 bushel mark this year.
Three weeks ago the state board Of
agriculture put out some figures show
ing that the crop would go to 1885,
100000 bushels. But right after those
figures we're made the Hessian fly ap-
peared in one section of the wheat
belt, hail and wind storms hit other
sections, and foods wiped out still
other sections. The damage has been
great. Beside, conditions for matur-
ing the crop have not been favorable.
Still the bankers believe that the Kan
sas farmers viii receive as much
money for their 1O0,OOO.0 900 crop this
year as they did for their 100000
busheI crop last year. They recall the
fact that the European war did not
break out until almost one-half Of the
wheat crop last year had passed out
of the farmers hands. And the wheat
that was sold prior to the opening of
the war went for an average of about
60 cents per bushel- In some places
it sold as low as so cents. Thousands
Of farmers had to sell at those low
figures. They were in debt. 1t had
been two or three years since they
had grown a good crop and they had
fallen behind financially. So they had
to sacrifice their wheat at low figure
in order to straighten up their &C
counts.
Indications are that the farmers
viii not suffer from lack of harvest
hands. In fact, men are coming in
in great drOves from the East already.
So numerous have they become that
warning had to be issued by the labor
bureau for them to stop coming until
late.
