CANADIAN WHEAT Cunning IN.

Wheat in Pembina was S2.75 cents the
other day while at F merson it was $1.a2.
In consequence of this difference there
are hundreds of bushels crossing the
line to the American markets daily. In
order to bring it across the owner OF the
grain must have a permit from the board
Of trade at Winnipeg, which we under
stand is easily obtained. And the
wheatbuyer on this side must have a
permit from the Federal government to
buy Canadian wheat.
Mr.. Shannon of the Victoria Elevator
Company is the only one in Pembina
who has such permit at the present time
and he is receiving great quantity of
Canadian wheat. Only 25,000 bushels
are allowed to be imported on each per-
nit but these permits can be renewed
at any time the applicant makes re-
quest to the authorities at Washington.
For several months the Canadian
markets have been considerably below
tho American markets. but this is the
greatest difference we have had since
tho Mckinley bill was in force when
Canadians had to pay heavy duty to
bring in their wheat to the United
States to compete with the American
farmers.
We saw party from Dominion City
the other day who said be was preparing
to bring over daily three team loads of
wheat as soon as he received his permit
from Winnipeg. He said he knows of
many of his neighbors who will do the
same. He said it will make a difference
Of 81, 900 IN what wheat he has left in
the bin.

Two Years In Bed
And Rolling Chair
Mrs. Wilson Gave Up Hope-.Gains
rs Pounds On TanIac And Is
Now A Well Woman.

"For two years I spent all my time
either in the hospital, in bed, or in a
rolling chair, and during that time was
given up to die, don't think would be
here now if it hadn't been for Tanlac.
said Mrs. E. o. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson is
we'll known in Atlanta, Ca, per husband
having been employed by The Constltu.
tion for number Of years.
Il was great sufferer from chronic
indigestion, continued Mrs. Wilson,
land don't guess anybody ever had to go
through with what I did. was very
weak and nervous, and at times had
those dreadful smothering sensations to
the point of ::fainting. l had dreadful
headaches, severe pains in my back and
over my kidneys and my joints ached all
the time. For two years I had to live
entirely on boiled milk, toast and soft
boiled eggs, and even that didn't digest
we'll, and would sour my stomach. I
didn't know what it was to get good
nights sleep. took one kind medicine
after another until our house was almost
filed with empty bottles, but instead of
improving was getting worse all the
time. Finally they took me to the hos.
pital for treatment, and I lay there for
i've long months, but even that didn't
make me we'll. 1t was taking nearly
every cent of my husbands wages to pay
my doctor and drug bills-our drug bill
alone amounted to $l4 or SIS month,
and one doctor bill amounted to Sl08.
ut looked like everything had failed
to help me, and I had about given up all
hope when one day my husband brought
bottle of Tanlac home with him and
asked me to take it. He said he bad
been reading and hearing lot of good
things about it and didn't see any reason
why it shouldn't help me. was con-
fdeo to my rolling chair when l began
taking it.
"Do I look like an invalid now? Ger
tanly don't feel like one. and I have
actually gained twenty-five (25) pounds
on eleven bottles Of Tanlac, and feel as
we'll as [ ever did in my life. can eat
anything 1 want-such things as meat
and turnips. Hard boiled eggs don't
hurt me particle, and l sleep as good
as did when was girl in my teens
I can get about as we'll as anybody and
just the otner day walked down town,
and I am running around the neighbor-
hood calling on my friends nearly all the
time now. I haven't pain about me.
I believe am the happiest woman in
Atlanta, and 1 think | have right to

NEW RURAL ROUTES.

Steps are being taken to esta blish two
new rural mail route out of Pembina.
One will follow the Red river and take
in the Macarthur country while the
other will reach southwest to the neigh
borhood of James Meagher, Cariveau
and Trudel neighborhoods, going west
via Geo. H. Morris. A good deal of this
territory has not been covered by de,
livery service in the past and now that
the Macarthur post office closedlt is very
iAconvenient for those people to get
their mail. Many of them take daily
papers that are a week old when the
mail reaches them. The railroad mail
service at Pembna is probably the best
of any city in this part of the country.
The Northern Pacific gets here in the
evening and the 500 and Great North
ern mails at Noyes five o'clock in the
morning. The Winnipeg mails gets here
at ten in~the morning. Besides the
Hamilton star route in the afternoon.
All these trains are daily including
Sunday. The 500 and the Great North
ern brings all the Twin City mails on
Sunday. that the N. P. morning train
distributes south as far as Johnstown.
The Sunday mail over these routes for
the Pembina post Office to be distribut-
ed south is often wagon load. And
these trains carry mails from here south
in the evening.

The deer aud moose season opened IN
Manitoba on Monday last and the Emer-

Lake OF the Woods. on the Canadian

used to be that there we're plenty of big

Winnipeg and Warroad. Reports from
there before the season opened were that
deer we're quiet plentiful but the moose
is getting scarcer every year.
