GREAT DEMAND
! FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.


Reports are to hand that there will
be a large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling of, on account
OF the fear of conscrIption. which OF
course was not possible. and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case II would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm. helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured Is having Its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. ii. Beatty or
Nanton. Alberta, had 60 bushels or
wheat from IL acres or an average OF
56Ha bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that sid
ney +. Phillips Of Beddeford. Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels Of wheat, the average being
521a bushels per acre, his interest Is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 100 bushels OF oats to the
acre from field of % acres,' w.
Quinn OF Milk River had 6,004 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of go bushels per acre, and Robert
Tacknberry of Nobleford makes afiida-
Wit that he had an average Of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from
field of 1868 acres. Thos Boulton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield of fifty-three
bushels OF wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit OF getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit Is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 39469 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at >Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from flax field
(stubble fleld) she got 20 bushels and
SS pounds per acre.
It cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
| great success. When these reports are
read. the man looking for farm be-
| comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause n large influx OF Amer
| lean farmers into the Canadian West
| during the coming Spring.
| The farmers now resident In Mani
| toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had In many districts and the home
steader is Advertisement.

shine than 1t had looked In shadow
and, true to its traditions, not a living
being was anywhere to be seen. The
door of the Office stood ajar. De Spain,
pushing 1t all the way open, walked In.
No one greeted him as he crossed the
threshold, and the unsightly room was
still bare of furnishings except for the
bar, with Its two broken mirrors.
De Spain pounded on the bar. His
effort to attract attention met with no
response. He walked to the left end
Of the bar, lifted the handrail that
inclosed the space behind Ii. and
pushed open the door between the mir
rors leading to the back room. This,
too. was empty. He called out-there
was no response. Mrs. McAlpin had
apparently gone home for while.
Irritated at the desertion of the
place. due, he afterward learned, to
the heat of the afternoon, and disap-
pointed at the Illustration of his pur-
pose, he walked back to the Office. Az
he lifted the handrail and, passing
through, lowered. 1t behind him, he
took out his watch to see how soon the
stage was due. While he held the time
piece in his hand he heard rapid
clatter Of hoofs approaching the place.
Thinking 1t might be Scott and Lefe-
yer arriving from the south an hour
ahead of time, he started toward the
front door-which was still open-to
greet them Outside hurried footsteps
reached the door just ahead of him

! Within two weeks he became des-
perate. He rode the gap trail from
Sleepy Cat again and again for miles
and miles In the effort to encounter
her. He came to know every ridge
and hollow on 1t, every patch and
stone between the lava beds and the
Rat river. And in spite of the coun-
sells Of his associates, who warned him
TO beware of traps, he spent, under
one pretext or another, much Of the
time either on the stages to and from
Calabasas or in the saddle toward Nor
gan's gap, looking for Nan.
Killing time in this way, after
, fruitless ride, his persistence was one
day most unexpectedly rewarded. He
had ridden through hot sun from
Sleepy Cat to Calabasas, where he had
an appointment to meet Scott and Lee
fever at five o'clock. When De Spain
reached the Calabasas barn, McAlpin,
the barn boss. was standing in the

claimed McAlpin incredulously. De
Spain nodded affirmatively as he dis
mounted. "Hot ride, sir; hot day."
commented McAlpin as he called n
man to take the horse. unstrapped De
Spains coat from the saddle, and fol-
lowed the manager into the Office.
The heat was oppressive, and De
Spain unbuckled his cartridge belt,
slipped his revolver from the holster,
mechanically stuck 1t inside his trou-
sers waistband, hung the heavy belt
up under his coat, and, sitting down.

whether the new blacksmith had So

De Spain walked with him out into the

manded De Spain coldly.
Before answering. the barn boss
eyed De Spain very carefully to see
how the wind was setting. for the
pony's presence confessed an infrac-
ton Of very particular rule. "You

boss from below his visorless cap a
questioning Scotch eye, II like to keep

Logan pushed back his chair. AS lie
turned his legs from under the table
to rise, hand rested on his shoulder.
He looked up aud saw the brown
face and feeble smile of Scott. Logan
with his nearest foot kicked Sandusky.
The big fellow looked up and around.
Either by chance or In following the
sound of the last voice, his glance fell
on De Spain. He scrutinized for a
Suspicious instant the burning eyes and
the red mark low on the cheek. While
he did so-comprehension dawning on
him--his enormous hands, forsahng
the pile Of chips with which both had
been for a moment busy, hattened out,
palms down, on the faro table. Logan
tried to rise. Scott's hand rested heav-
lily on him. "What's the row." de-
manded Sandusky in the queer tone
Of deaf man. Logan pointed at De
Spain. "That Medicine Bend duck
wants fight"
with q man, Logan; not with a
cub" retorted De Spain, matching In
suit with insult.
Maybe can do something for YOU"
interrupted Sandusky. His eyes ran
like a flash around the table. He saw
how Lefever had pre-empted the best
place in the room. He looked up and
back at the man standing now at his
shoulder, and almost between Logan
and himself. 1t was the Indian, Scott.
Sandusky felt, as his faculties cleared
and arranged themselves every in
slant, that there was no hurry what
ever about lifting his hand; but he
could not be faced down without u
show of resistance, and he concluded
that for this occasion his tongue was
the best weapon. "If can" he added
stiffiy. I'm at your service"
De Spain made no answer beyond
keeping his eyes on Sandusky's eyes.
Tension, overhearing the last words,
nwoke to the situation and rose from
his case. He made his way through
the crowd around the disputants and
brusquely directed the dealer to close
the game. While Sandusky was cash.

The Glass Button.

Even rs the big fellow stepped light
ly just inside and to the left-as De
Spain stood-of the door and faced
him, the encounter seemed to De. Spain
accidental. But before he could speak,
second man appeared in the door
way. and this man appeared to be jok-
ing with a third, behind him. AS the
second man crossed the threshold, De
Spain saw Sandusky's high-voiced
little fighting crony, Logan, who now
made way, as he stepped within to the
right Of the open door, for the swing
Ing shoulders and rolling stride Of
Gale Morgan.
Morgan, eylng De Spain with inso-
lence, as was his wont, closed the door
behind him with a bang. Then he
backed his powerful frame significant
ly against 1t.
A blind man could have seen the
completeness of the snare. An unpleas-
ant feeling flashed across De SPANS
perception. 1t was only for the i'm
measurable part of second-whlle
uncertainty was resolving itself into a
rapid certainty. When Gale Morgan
stepped Into the room on the heels
of his two Calabasas friends, De Spain
would have sold for less than cup
Of coffee all his chances for life. New
ertheless, before Morgan had set his
back fairly against the door and the
trap was sprung. De Spain had
mapped his fight.
He did not retreat from where he
halted Mt the instant Sandusky entered.
His one slender chance was to hug to
the men that meant to kill him. Nor
gan, the nearest, he esteemed the least
dangerous Of the three; but to think
to escape both Sandusky and Logan
at close quarters was, he knew, more
than ought to be hoped for.
While Morgan was closing the door,
De Spain smiled at his visitors: "That
isn't necessary, Morgan--Tm not ready
to rum" Morgan only continued to
stare at him. IT need hardly ask"
added De Spain, whether you fellows

He looked to Sandusky for q reply !;
