OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE MISSED
Why Waltz Why Not Go to West
ern Canada NoW2

The writer has frequently heard the
Remark that latter the war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not oc-
cur to those making the remark that if
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that l. nd values will increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
Is reasonable in price. There is no
question about what the land in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what it will give under proper cul-
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be Cleaned
from the three following items, which
are picked out at random:
I'm the spring of 1916 a half-section
of land was offered for sale at $1700
per acre. There were 105 acres of
summer-fallow, which, because the
owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 1920 bushels
all told, grading No. /, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about $4,000 was $1.60, which brought
the handsome total of $6,720.00. Three
hundred and twenty acres at S17.00
equals $4,000, so that a buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made a profit
of S0.00."-Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
"That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
| the land, all the machinery and all
/ overhead expenses as well as make a
I handsome profit, is the information
/ given by N. B. Davis, the manager.
/ The wheat yield was over $4,000 bush
/ els. OF twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. /, and Mr.. Davis has sold
over 1000 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to In
diana he will be big booster for Al
berta. "-Bassano Mail, Bassano, Alta.
! oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
in last spring, for $3,S00.00, has
threshed $500 bushels of wheat, which
Is worth at present prices about
S7,50O.00. He refused an offer of
S5,000.0O for the land after the crop
had been taken off."-Lethbridge Her
aid, Lethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop of many farmers In West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
Coblenz, Sask.-W. A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels pei
acre and SO bushels of oats.
Gleichen, Alberta-Up to date 2S7,
S12 bushels of grain have been received
by local elevators, of which nearly
10000 bushels were wheat. Seventy
one cars of grain have already beer
shipped.
Stoop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed 5,40O bushels of grain
1000 bushels Of which were wheat
grading No. l Northern. One field
averaged A bushels per acre, and @
large field of oats averaged SO bushels

ton is required, it will be gladly fur

Of the German raider.
On board the Hudson Maru it was
believed that one British steamship,
the Yarrowdale, had foundered and
that 400 men Of the captured crews
had lost their lives. This may prove
to be true.

Fate Of 400 Unknown.

The raider, which is the protected
cruiser Vineta, disguised as a mer-
chairman, but carrying IL guns and
four torpedo tubes, placed the crews
of the vessels sunk on board the
Hudson Maru and the Yarrowdale.
When the Yarrowdale held 400 men,
in addition to her crew, she was
started for some port. She should
have arrived long before the Hudson
Maru reached Pernambuco. AS moth
ing has been heard of her, it is feared
she is lost, with all on board.
One report by men landed by the
japanese steamship was that one
British steamship had been sunk
without warning with 400 men. 1t is
believed that report grew out of the
missing Yarrowdale and her 400 men.
Among the first vessels to be sunk
by the raider, apparently, were the
French schooners Nantes and Ashires
for their crews reported that they
were held prisoners on board the
Vineta for % days. The raider did
not escape through the British cor
don at the north of Scotland until
December 2.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD
SKIING CLUB NOW
ON A FIRM BASIS
Excellent Exhibition Back of
the GardenS-PlanS for
Next Year.

Skiing is to become one of the most
popular of the winter sports in Butte If
plans now underway BY the Sons of Nor
way Skiing club are carried out when the
snow falls next November. The club was
organized this year but during the pres
ent winter efforts have been confined to
getting the organization on a firm basis.
This has been accomplished and menu
bership campaign will be inaugurated
during the early fall months so that
everything will be in readiness for the
opening OF the 19l7-1elS season.
The club has secured the use of the
hills back OF the gardens in the vicinity
of what is known as the Hog ranch.
There the easy grades and open country
make the place an ideal location for a
ski club. Here there is plenty of space
where the incline is but slight and where
the beginner can become accustomed 10
the skis before trying the more difficult
grades. An excellent location is also
afforded for those who are experts at the
sport and who delight in making the
more hazardous rides. There are but few
trees or big rocks to obstruct the run
ways. To the north OF the grounds the
grade is such that takeoff for the jump
ers is SO situated that the most daring
Of the riders have quarter of mile
in which to get UP speed before taking
their flight in the air. Next season a
suitable club house will be built and the
officials of the club will arrange for
every convenience for the members. The
snow remains on-the ground until late in
the spring in that section so that skiing
can be enjoyed much later than that OF
the other strictly winter sports.
Yesterday the expert skiiers gave an
exhibition of their skill for number of
visitors and the ease and grace with
which they swung around the hillsides
and shot down the canyon was a beauti-
ful sight to those who witnessed the
sport for the first time,

cago and aside from being bit stiff
from his long ride said that he was
feeling fine. This afternoon he took
a good workout at the Connolly gym

dropped in to see the Swede in action.

workout. You know | met Connolly
here and my wind never bothered me a
bit, neither did I feel weak after two
hours of strenuous going / have
never met Oln but I know what he
can do. There are lots of the tricks of
the trade he has still to learn and I
am going to show him few Tuesday
night"
Olin also arrived in Butte last even
ing on later train than Freberg. To-
day he said that he is in good condi-
tion and with a workout tonight will
be ready for the go tomorrow He
seems to think that Freberg has un-
derrated him and that as Stecher was
unable to pin his shoulders to the mat
there is no other man in the world who
can. The match should be a hummer
as defeat or a draw for Olin would
knock him from the high place he has
held since Stecher quit with him in
Massachusetts.
