OA|RY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today Is in highly
Sourishing condition and is bouno III
very short time to become MUCH
more important. The war has createo
great demand for that article, ana
it's use abroad has given it lot OF
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches
but by the ordinary civilian consumer
who, having used it, is quick 10 ap-
preciate it's value. This means that
inter the war there will be demand
created for it that would not other-
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased e1oft
that is now being put forth it is hopeo
that this will be met. AS matter OF
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect OF an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undouct-
edly be maintained this season. west
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making Of cheese, the
feed and the coof nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound 10
become one of the finest cheese coun-
tries Of the continent.
The lower foothills Of Alberta, USED
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities Of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, IS
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof.
table
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood Ct suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be illuminating. 1t
is supplied by the P. Burns company,
packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average monthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive. When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compare

Montana Yegsmen Adopt New Plan

Billings. June Montana yeggmen
have adopted a new plan for postof-

armed, two men, one tall and one short,
entered the postoffice at Armells, and
compelled Postmaster Mathews to de-
liver the cash on hand, amounting to
S125. No clue to their identity has
been found The Bank of Buffalo, near

evidently the robbers were scared
away before they could blow the safe.

James J. Hill was born in lockwood,
a Canadian hamlet, Sept 16, 1888. His
father and mother had emigrated from
Ireland with their parents years be-
fore; took up Canadian claim and
settled on farm. For time Hills
father kept a small tavern. When the
future railroad builder was IA years
old his father died. James then quit
school and became clerk in village
store. For four years he held the job
studying nights and Sundays to finish
his education.
He had but reached his 18th year, in
1856, when he came to the northwest

over the field. Hill concluded that trad

ture He secured a job as shipping
clerk.
Meanwhile Hill was dreaming
Quaint tales are told Of his eXtraOrdi
nary farsightedness and acumen at
this time. Six years after he arrived
in St. Paul came his first real oppCrtun
ity.
Started In Business in 1866.
In 1865 he started in business for
himself as a commission, steamboat
and railway agent. The railway OF
which he obtained an agency was the
little St Paul & Pacific-big of name
but dimnutive in length.
Hill forged ahead Of competitors and
old employers almost at the start. Only
a few months after he had begun bust
ness he had landed contract to sup
ply the government with $4,000 bushels
of oats. Moreover, he had so manipu
lated his affairs that he had announced
boldly he was able to give shippers the
lowest rates ever quoted from st. Paul
to eastern points.
Erects Transfer House.
A year after entering business for
himself Hill astounded St. Paul by
erecting large transfer house on the
levee. The building was to receive
freight from river steamers on one
| floor and discharge it on a floor below
to the railroads, which were growing
| steadily.
About this time Mr.. Hill married
Miss Mary Meighan.
In 1870 Hill forged out still further
becoming a princip insteadal of agent
in the transportation business. He
| built a small steamboat for traffic or
the Red river. In doing this he came
into direct competition with the Hud
son Bay company. He took the field
in person and Travelled the wilderness
served by his boat, by dog sled ant
snowshoe. The outcome of the Rec
river venture was the same as with
his other enterprises.
His business grew and he added more
boats. So vigorous were his efforts

St. Paul, June 2.-As the first of tho

patter against a canvas which has
been stretched to protect the mourn

Thousands View Casket.
Prominent financiers from the East,
railroad presidents and vice presi-

agents, colored rorters grown old and

wives of section hands, wives of col.

own keenly felt little tribute.
But a fraction of the throng gained
admittance to the house. Another
fraction felt fortunate to gain place
inside the yard. Outside the great
spiked fence, thousands stood and
pressed their faces against the iron
bars for glimpse of the casket which
was to come through the great oak
doors.

MOUNTAINS-U. S. ON TRAIL
Ell Paso, April 4.-American troops
today were approaching Durango
state line south of Chihuahua City
on Villas trail. Their swift advance
surprised border officials. Friday
Col DOdd's cavalry column appeared
at San Antonio, near Cusihuiriachic.
At that time Villa, with only eight
men, passed through Satevo, about
so miles south of American van
guard. He was reported to be fleeing
for his old haunts in Durango noun
tains.
Four American soldiers have died
of illness or accidental injuries sUf-
fered in Mexico pursuing Villa. Over
800 are being treated today in Fort
Bliss hospital here. No American
soldier has yet been killed in battle
with Villistas in Mexico.
Villa has no intention of forming
junction with Canuto Reyes in the
Torreon district, it is believed, but
will attempt to hide from pursuing

frame; and this morning he jumped
through it.
Sergt. Nelson, of s. Clark st. sta
ton, saw a man accOst a woman on
the street and go into the State hotel,
551 S. State. He followed, SOW that
they had registered as man and wife
and forced entrance to their room.
When he was about to put them
under arrest, the man ducked out the
door and locked it from the outside.
Sergt. Nelson did not hesitate a
moment. He jumped right out the
window. He didn't even stop to
swing himself down to the street.
At the St. Luke's hospital, where
he was sent for repairs, Nelson said:
