The guests arrived at the home of

ladies to dressing room to remove
their wraps (the men merely left their
hats. ctceters, in the hall) and all
then gathered in the drawing room,
where their hostess greeted them.
A maid Immediately announced din
ner and all went into the dining room
in body (the procession Of couples
into the dining room is now cons,d-
cred more or less old-fashioned). The
guests found their places at table by
the place cards. The bridc-clcct found
hers at the right Of the host cher card
consisted of a picture of q bride, with
out her name written on ~. At the
right of the hostess, the bridegroom
to-be found his place card--w hich was
picture of bridegroom, without his
name on it.
The four other guests, however,
found their names on their place cards

bridesmaid for each of the two girl,
and a picture of an usher for each OF

CROP GREATEST
FOR I SEASONS
Estimated that Each Acre
Has Yielded Seventeen and !,
One Quarter Bushels.

OTTAWA, Ont. Oct. l0.-The
average wheat yield per acre for all
Canada this year, according to the
preliminary crop estimate OF the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Is
II IA bushels. This average is high
er than for any year since the bump
er crop of 1915 when 1t was 2G
bushels, the next highest being in
1916 when it was l710 bushels, and
higher than the decenniai average OF
Is "a bushels, according 10 the bu-
reau.
The bureaf's estimate shows the
average yields per acre for all Can
ada for all grains with last years
average in brackets as follows: Fall

For oats the average of 81 ga
bushels per acre has not been ex,
ceeded since 1916, when it was
1880 bushels, and in 1915, when ii
was 40 IA, the bureau states. 1t is
2h bushels over the per acre aver
age of the last 10 years of 80 IA
bushels.
The maximum yield per acre OF
all the grains is much higher than
these averages, the bureau shows.
Yields of % bushels of wheat and
100 bushels of oats have been report
ed from many parts Of the western
provinces. Eightytwo bushels OF
wheat to the acre is the worlds
record established several years ago
by Seager Wheeler. on his farm near
Rosthern in Saskatchewan.
Total yields of all grains based on
these averages and on an estimate
of the areas sown arc are follows
with last years yields in brackets:
Fall wheat, 16,932.000 bushels u.s.

COAL BEING MINED
AT WAINWRIGHT IS

(Nome Nugget.)

According to E. J. Ward, Bureau
of Education teacher at Wainwright
who returned to Nome on the Bear
coal of the highest grade is found in
quantities within six miles OF Vain
wright down the inlet.
At. the present time the coal is
mined by native cooperative store
which is under the supervision of the
Bureau OF Education.
The natives supply sacks, mine and
deliver coal to the village of Vain
wright at Is cents per sack, 20
sacks to the ton. Three mines are
operated and mining has been in
progress for the last 80 years. Most
of the coal is mined from the sur
face, as the veins outcrop all along
the inlet AS the upper strata are
removed the coal becomes of higher
grade and with scientific methods
employed there is no doubt that this
field will become one of the largest
producers on Seward Peninsula.
This year 5000 sacks were mined
1,00Q>Of which were used by the Blu.
reau for its local school; 200 tons
were shipped to Point Barrow on
the schooner Holmes AS the Boxer
has been acquired by the Bureau it
is planned to take supplies North
and return with coal cargoes for
other points along the coast. One
can well take advantage of this field
Of high grade coal and overcome the
present high cost OF fuel.
The Wainwright inlet is barred by
a sand bar which prevents boats of
more than 3 or feet draft entering
Down the inlet where the coal is
found within 80 feet from the shore
skin boats load the fuel and paddle
TO the village.
According to Mr.. Ward as the de-
mand for the coal increases the pres
ent cost OF IL cents per sack can
easily be reduced to so cents per
sack. making the commercial posi-.
bilities much more feasible.
Superintendent Loop proposes to
supply all Bureau schools on Seward
Peninsula and adjoining islands with
coal mined from this field instead
of feeding the maw of the Pacific
coal barons. as it at present done.

1t is generally conceded that for
beauty and grandeur the Canadian
Rockies have no equal because of
their ysstness, equaling as they do,
fifty Switzerlands, and embracing
every variety of mountain charms.
But to say positively which of their
many attractions is the most allur-
ing ID difficult task. One trav-
eler would bestow the palm on
Lake O'Hara, another on that other
green gem, Emerald Lake. How
ever, it is safe to say that the con-
