Continued next week.

The Hay Palace planned by the
Fair Association this year to house
the agricultural exhibits was a failure
for the reason that the hay could not
be baled in time to complete the Pal
ace for this years Fair. The Fair
management did not give up hope On
thi: feature until Tuesday noon when
it was found that the project had to
be abandoned for this year, and SO
arrangements were made with &. O.
Dustrude to use a part Of his big Star
Garage to house the exhibits this
year. and this made a very fair sub
stitute. In ONE respects it was really
better than the proposed hay palace.
The County Tractor and Grading
outfit pulled into Wood from the east
last Friday, having completed the
grading from here east to the county
line on the Memorial Highway, with
the exceptation of a two mile stretch
Just east Of Oak Creek. This Stretch
of road will not be completed how
ever until the bridge across Oak
Creek has been completed, and some
different grading machinery Is re
ceived. We hope that this new road
from Wood to the coulty line will be
opened for traffic before winter sets in
for we believe it will be our best and
easiest road TO Winner.
A deal was closed last week be
tween d. l.. Swanson of Livermore,
Iowa, and Howard Coleman Of Rapid
City, S. D., whereby Mr.. Swanson
purchased 40 acres of Mr.. Coleman,
this laud lies directly across the road
from the Swanson homestead, five
miles south of Wood, and is h nice
piece of land. Mr. Coleman and Mr..
Swanson homesteaded at the same
time in Mellette county in 1913 IA
and will be remembered by a number
around Wood. Mr.. Coleman is at
present a book keeper for a lumber
firm at Rapid City, s. d., aud MIR.
and Mrs. Swanson are employed at
the Rock Island station at L:vermore,
Iowa, Mr.. Swanson being Station
and Mrs. Swanson has done
clerical work in the same Office for
the past year.

and people seemed to be prospecting.
We left Red Deer about ll:30 arriv-
ing at Calgary at 3 p. m.
Calgry is a city of some 10000 popu-
lation out on the open prairies and
we were most royalty entertained with
a fine dinner and drives about the
city in autos. The Calgary grain *
change now tranSactS more business
than any other grain exchange in the
Dominion with the exception Of the
one at Winnipeg. There is also con
siderable GOA mining carried on in
the territory Of which Calgary is the
political and commercial center. Our
train left Calgary at midnight.
We arrived at Lethridge at s a. m.
and the Kilties Band Of that city
came down to the depot and paraded
up and down the platform playing
their bagpipes and drums to awaken
our party from their slumbers. 1t
was not long, however, until the en-
"a PNASy wac up III vi CocNN ullu
ready for another strenuous day.
The Kilties led the line Of march to
the beautiful Calf Gardens where
the party was photographed, and
then we marched to a large garage
building where we were served IA
good breakfast and each member Of
the party was also provided with a
bouquet Of sweet peas by the ladies of
that city. After breakfast we board
ed autos that we're in waiting and we
were taken for a drive through the
country. and here is where we saw
some real alfalfa fields, in fact the
first alfalfa fields of any consequence
we had seen in Canada. The growers
were receiving from $50 to $50 d ton
for the hay in the field. There were
also good grain, potato and other
crops. In fact apparently the most
prosperous agricultural section we
had seen in Canada. This is an irri-
gated section and they always have a
harvest there. Besides agriculture
and dairying there is considerable
coal mining carried on there and the
people are certainly prosperous. We
miles distant from Lethridge, and
here we had a real surprise awaiting
us. This is a very small village not
any larger than Wood. but they are
a live hoSpitable bunch and real boost
ers every one of them. They had COZ

dale Ladies Base Ball Club, and they
were busy serving the Editorial party
with ice cream and lemonade, giving
their Club yells and greeting us will
welcome songs, and last but not least
challenged the Editorial party TO Z
matched game Of base ball, which
challenge was promptly accepted anO
a three inning game played. The
girls played a good game, and there
was a lot of roofing on both sides
The Kilties Band OF Lethridge had
accompanied us and they furnished
an abundance of music, SO we all had
a real royal good time, and our party
was loath to board the train and leave
these very pleasant people behind,
but the warning whistle blew and We
were oon off again.

20 anu see IL. Our train left Banff
at midnight to continue its eastward
journey.
We arrived at Red Deer, our next
official stop, a town of perhaps $500
people or the banks of the Red Deer
River. We were served a mighty
good breakfast by the people of that
city, In the Armory Building which
had been handsomely decorated for
this occasion and a most magnificent
display Of agricultural products of
that vicinity was there for us to gaze
upon while we dined. Immediately
after breakfast we were taken for an
auto ride about the surrounding coun
try. The heavy rain that fell there
the night before necessarily cut our
ride short, but we saw some mighty
good farms and some fine crops. We
had now left the mountains to the
west of US and we're again entering
the prairies. This particular section
however, had considerable bush and
land had to be cleared before 1t could
be farmed. Crops were good there
