How Fire Alarms Sounded For the
Business District

A matter which every business man
In town should remember in connec-
ton with the new fire alarm system Is
that when only one blow of the whis-
tie is sounded. a pause follows and
other blows are given in quick sue
cession, this indicates the fire is in
the business district. One blow is
therefore equal to five blows under
the old system. II one blow is given.
followed by two blows, this indicates
the fire is in the neighborhood OF the
corner of Main street and Kentucky
avenue. where Box IL is located; IL
one blow is sounded followed by three
blows it indicates the fire is near
Pine street and Kentucky avenue. sent
from Box 10; il sent from Box Ia the
fire would be near Main street and
Tennessee avenue and II from Box 10
one blow followed by five blows, the
alarm would have been sent from
Main street and Missouri avenue. An
imaginary box corner of Lemon street
and Florida avenue will be number 10
one blow followed by six blows.

Will Adjourn About April 10

It Is now hoped TO adjourn this
legislature some time between April
b and April 10. Two years ago final
adjournment was taken April s, and
two years before that the date was
April l6. In order to allow the
members to get away by April 10
the sitting committee plans to rush
us business as much as possible.
Some OF the bills it will report out
promise to undergo a lengthy dis.
cussion in the house. and for that
reason 1t will be necessary to speed
up on all of them. 1t is the plan OF
the house leaders to put a motion,
within a week or ten days, to kill
all the house rolls that have not
been acted upon by the committee
by that time.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming Settlers-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 a time
there has been a falling off, 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 cut 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 Il farm.
When he hears hat G. II. Beatty OF
~srtOn, Alberta. had go bushels of
wheat from II acres or an average of
561s bushels to the acre. he becomes
Interested. When he learns that Sid.
ney +. Phillips of Bcddeford, Alberta.
threshed ten hundred and fifty.three
bushels of wheat, the average being
62k bushels per acre. his interest Is
further aroused. Thos. Long Of Lcth-
bridge had 120 bushels Of oats TO the
acre from n field Of % acres w.
Quinn Of MIX River had G,O9i bushels
of wheat from 100 acres. an average
of 60 bushels per acre. and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes aflida-
Wit that he had an average Of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from a
field of 1868 acres. Thos. Boulton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a 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
.<Avheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 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, OF fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a flax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
SS pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for a farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only n 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
