V - • * • ; Uncounted Miles of Bountiful Crops Make Glad the Farmers of Western Canada. YIELD WILL BE-RECORD ONE Practically Beyond Reach of Accident, «He Fruir of the Fertile Fields Is Being Gathered--Elevators and Railroads Will Be Taxed to Their Capacity. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, four weeks ago, the writer started for a twenty-mile drive Into the country, from one of the hundred or more new towns that have been well started dur­ ing the past spring, in the Province of Saskatchewan, in Western Canada. Mile after mile, and mile after mile, was traversed through what was one continuous wheat field, the only relief to the scene being the roadways that led back into other settlements, where would have been repeated the same great vista of wheat What a wealth! Here were bun dreds and thousands, and millions of bushels of what was declared to be a quality of grain equal to any that has ever been grown in the province. As we drove on and on I thought of those fellows down on the Board of Trade at Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Duluth. While they were exploit­ ing each others' energies the farmer of Saskatchewan, Amerta and Mani­ toba was contemplating how much he would realize ^ut of his crop, now Pa at any danger of accident, over what his anticipations were two months ago. One man said to me: "The profits of that field of wheat will give me sufficient money to purchase 320 acres of land, for which the rail­ way company is asking $6,400. and pay It in cash." Another, with a field of flax--it was only 320 acres--said splendid country, all one beautiful p!©. ture, and such an opportunity to asa one's Imagination lo figuring up the amount of the wealth of the crops through which the trip into town took ns, was not to be enjoyed every day. And away we started. It was delightful. We drove and drove through avenues of wheat, which today, having yellowed with the beneficent sun, is being laid low by the reaper, stacked and threshed by the thousands of hands required to do it, and in great wagons is being taken to the elevator. A night's ride by train took us through 225 miles of this great prov­ ince of Saskatchewan--Into the south­ western part--and from appearances it might have been as though a trans­ fer had been made across a township. There were wheat fields, oat fields, barley fields and flax fields, and many more that could not be seen. Yet there they were, and during the night we had passed through a country sim­ ilarly cultivated. It will all secure a market and get Its way to ocean or local mill by means of the great railways whose well-arranged systems are penetrating everywhere into the agricultural parts. Prosperous Alberta. We afterward went over Into Al­ berta, and here again it was grain and cattle, cattle and grain, comfortable farm homes, splendidly built cities and towns, the best of churches and th*» most thoroughly equipped schools. While talking with a Southern Sas katcbewan farmer he said that the land he was working, and for which he had been offered $60 an acre, had b^en purchased five years ago for $12 an acre, but be won't sell. He Is making a good profit on bis land at $60 an acre, and why should he sell? Farther north, land was selling at from $15 to $18 and $20 an acre. It was learned afterward that the soil was similar to that in the south, the price of which today is $60 an acre The climate was similar and the mar­ kets as good. In fact the only differ ence was that today these northern lands occupy the same position that the more southerly ones did five years ago. and there are found many who • v;/ ;r- • I..-. iUMMM BABY IN THE BIV WAVES TO PARENTS OBITUARY. Y HE SAVED THE TRAIN STATION AGKNT8 PRE8ENCE OF MIND AND BRAVERY. His Action Meant Imminent Risk of Life and Limb, but He Did Not Hesitate--Robbers Frustrat­ ed, but Escape. "More often than not common sense and bravery are combined in railroad employes, writes H. L. Ren- nlck in the Chi­ cago Tribune. I once knew a sta­ tion agent and telegrapher at a little town in Mis­ souri, a number of years ago, who prevented fatalities and thwarted a gang of train robbers by his presence of mind and daring. "His name was Wilson. He was working nights. It was a little after midnight, one morning In October, when Wilson, sitting at his instru­ ment. glanced around at a masked man pointing a revolver at his head. "Wilson took it rather calmly. 'What the' h ,' he said. "O. nothing,' said the robber, 'only you'd better discon­ nect all those instruments. 1 know the code and I know how to deaden every wire on the line. So don't try anything funny. Just pull out all those plugs." "Wilson obeyed. After he had fin­ ished the Job of putting the wjres out of business at his station, he was bound by the robber and a companion. "He heard them discussing their plans outside the station and learned they had plied ties on the track a mile down the right of way and that they intended to rob and wreck the express train, which was due in a few minutes. "Wilson struggled to loosen his bonds when he heard the robbers walking away toward the scene of the expected wreck. He succeeded in freeing himself just as he heard the whistle of the limited coming down the grade. He ran to the door, saw it would be too late to flag the trfiin, as he could not reach a semaphore in time. "Fortunately the engineer had slack­ ened his speed down to twenty-five WHERE RAILROADS CAN SAV* Nsw Method of Freight Handling 8atd to Be Worth One Hundred Mil­ lions a Year. Sift:- Steam Plowing in Wester?; he rould do tb*. same and stfTI have a balance in the bank. Flax produces wonderfully well, and the current price is about $2.50 per bushel. We then drove over into another town­ ship, getting further back from the railway, and the main traveled road. Here we found ourselves In the center of a Swedish settlement. Those.form­ ing the settlement were» originally from Nebraska. Invited to put up our horses and stay over for dinner, and a dinner that was enjoyed not only on account of the generous appetite cre­ ated by the exhilarating drive, but also because of the clean linen, the well-prepared dishes of roast fowl, po­ tatoes. cabbage, and a delightful des­ sert. some of the history of the settle­ ment was learned. The host and hostess were modest in describing their own achievements, and equally modest as to those of their friends, but enough was learned to satisfy us that they had come there about three years ago, in moderate, almost poor, circumstances. Most of them had re­ ceived their homesteads as a gift from the government, and by careful dili­ gence had purchased and paid for ad­ joining land. They had plenty of cat­ tle and horses, some sheep and hogs, and large well-kept gardens, showing an abundance of potatoes and cabbage and other vegetables. Their buildings were good. Schools were In the neigh­ borhood and there was evidence of comfort everywhere. On to the Park Country. Reluctant to leave th^se interesting people, the horses thoroughly rested, were "hooked up" and driven on, un­ der a sun still high in the heavens, with the horses pulling on the bit and traveling at a 12-mile an hour gait over a road that would put to shame many of the macadamized streets, we were whtrled along a sinuous drive through the woods and then out in the park country. Here was another scene of beauty, groves of poplar, herds of cattle, fenced fields of wheat and oats and barley and flax. Here was wealth, and happiness and surely content­ ment. The crops were magnificent. The settlers, most of them, by the way, from Iowa, had selected this lo­ cation because of its beauty. Its en­ tire charm was wholesome. Fuel was in abundance, the soil was the best, the shelter for the cattle afforded by the groves gave a splendid supply of food, while hay was easy to get. They liked It. Here was a sturdy farmer, with his three boys. He had formerly been a merchant in an Iowa town, his children had been given a college edu­ cation and one of the boys was about to marry the accomplished daughter of a neighboring farmer Through Land of Wealth. The invitation to remain to supper was accepted, but tnat given to re­ main over night was tabled. It was only a 25-mile drive into town over the best of roads, through such a say they will come Into a price nearer their legitimate value of $50 or $60 an acre quite as quickly as the southerly lands. And I believe it Throughout all this great country, practically 500 by 800 miles square, there are still a Great many home­ steads which are given free to actual settlers. Many who have secureu pat­ ents for their homesteads consider their land worth from $18 to $25 per acre. Immer.se Crops Assured. Throughout the southern portion of Alberta, a district that suffered more or less last year from drouth, there will be harvested this year one of the best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat, oats, flax and alfalfa that has ever been taken off these highly productive lands. In Central Alberta, which comprises the district north of Calgary and east two hundred miles, through Camrose. Sedgewick, Castor, Red Deer. Wetas kiwin, Edmonton. Lacombe. Vegre- ville, Tofield, Vermillion and a score of other localities, where are settled large numbers of Americans, the wheat, oats and Sax, three weeks ago, was standing strong and erect, large heads and( promising from 30 to 35 bushels of wheat and as high as 100 bushels of oats on carefully tilled fields, while flax would probably yield from 15 to 18 bushels per acre. In these parts the harvesters are busy today garnering this great crop and it will shortly be known whether the great anticipations are to be real­ ised. Throughout all parts of Saskatche­ wan, whether north, south, east OT west, the same story was heard, and the evidence was seen of the splendid and bountiful crop. Rich Yield in Manitoba. In Manitoba it was the same. The fields of grain that were passed through In this province promised to give to the growers a bumper yield, and as high as 35 bushels of wheat and 60 bushels of oats was freely dis­ cussed. It would appear as If the expecta­ tion of an average of 25 bushels of wheat throughout the three provinces would be met. in a few dayB the 40,000,000-bushel elevator capacity throughout the coun­ try will be taxed, the 25,000,000 bush­ els capacity at Fort William and Port Arthur will be taken up, and the rail­ ways and their equipment will be called upon for their best. Today the great, broad, yellow fields are indus­ trial haunts, the self-binder is at work in its giant task of reducing Into sheaves the standing grain, the har­ vesters are busy stocking and stack­ ing, the threshing machines are being fed the sheaves, the large box wagons are taking It to the elevators, and no matter where you go it is the same story and a picture aucta as can only be seen in the great grain fields of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. Market for Human Hair. The quaint annual hair fair was held at Limoges. France, a few days ago. T^is curious market brings the great dealers in human hair and the representatives of important hair­ dressers from all parts of Europe, buy­ ers and sellers coming from Berlin and Rome, Spain and Austria, and from all the great towns of France. Fair and dark hair is seen there In great quantities, but here and there can be seen rarer plaits of white- hair, which with the red, are sold for as much as $60 and $79 a kilo. Chess Players Mourn. In the death of Albert de Roths­ child the great fraternity of chess players has lost a devoted brother, ac­ cording to one of the Vienna biogra­ phers of the late financier. He was one of the founders and for many years the president of the Vienna Chess club and a devotee of the royal game. "Not only in the councils of the organization did he take an active part, but for years he spent a part Of nearly every day at its headquarters where he attained a high place as * player," says one paper. "Discount Those Instruments." miles an hour or so, as he always did when going through the town where Wilson worked. He ran to the edge of the platform and just as the obser- vation car passed, made a lunge for the brass railing--and held on. "He afterwards told me that It near­ ly tore him to pieces, but he stuck, gained breath and pushed .open the door He didn't wait to call the con­ ductor. but grasped the bell cord and jerked the signal for the engineer to stop. "The express slackened its speed and finally came to a complete stand­ still. The conductor came running back through the cars to learn who had dared to pull the bell cord. "Then the dispatcher explained. The conductor told the engineer, and. be­ tween them, they arranged a plan. The train would back into the station and Wilson would connect the wires and inform the superintendent, who would send a train from the other di­ rection to trap the robbers. "The plan worked--Just so far. The other train was sent, but the robbers must have been wise' that something was wrong. They skipped The re­ lief crew found the pile of ties, but no train wreckers. "Wilson's presence of mind got him a new job, twenty dollars a month more, I believe. He's chief dispatcher now." New Zealand's Sulphur Island. One of the most extraordinary Is­ lands in the world lies in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand It is called White island, and consists mainly of sulphur mixed with gypsum and a few other minerals. Over the island, which is about three miles in circumference, and rises between 800 and 900 feet above the sea, there continually floats an immense cloud of vapor attaining an elevation of' 10,000 feet. In the cen­ ter is a ooiling lake of acid charged water, covering 50 acres, and surround­ ed with blue holes from which steam and sulphurous fumes are emitted with great force and noise. With care a boat can be navigated on the lake. The sulphur from White Island la very pure, but little effort has yet been made to procure it systematically. Awful Slaughter on Rail. The appalling toll of human life ex­ acted by American railroads is re­ flected in the fact that the Interstate commerce commission receives daily from responsible officers of Interstate carriers an average of 30 telegraphic reports of accidents involving the loss of one lif© or more. The reports are made In response to an order for the commission which became effective July 1. Generally th» railroads are complying with it. Ralnmarks. Ralnmarks upon clothes may be re­ moved by placing a clean damp cloth upon the material and pressing with a moderately warm iron. Railroad men who scoffed at the sM- entiflc management argument ad­ vanced by the shippers in last year's freight rata controversy are closely watching an experiment that is be­ ing tried at St. Louis. Only a few years ago the railroads through almost hopeless congestion of freight at the crop moving periods were brought to a realization of the fact that in their haste to develop new territory too little attention had been paid to terminal facilities. Since then, tremendous sums have been spent to secure easy movement of trainB in and out of yards, but in the method erf loading and unloading cars there has been no change in a hundred years until today. In remodeling its freight station at St. Louis, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, as a substitute for the hand pushed truck, installed an overhead electric device for handling freight. That change, the first of its kind in the history of American railroading, was made on June 1. Recently the Alton and the Clover Leaf, two other Hawley roads, began to use the new freight station. According to Missouri, Kansas & Texas officials, the net result has been an increase of over 300 per cent, in terminal facilities, and a reduction from 45 cents to 30 cents in the cost of handling each ton of freight. On the average, miscellaneous freight Is moved by the railroads three times, at an average cost of 33 1-3 cents a handling. According to the last annual report of the Interstate commerce commission, the railroads hauled 300,000,000 tons of miscella­ neous freight. If by substituting ma­ chinery for band pushed trucks one- third of the present cost can be saved, as in the case of the Hawley lines, the annual saving by all of the railroads should be $100,000,000. And that does not take into account the saving ef­ fected by increasing terminal facili­ ties. Mono-Railways. Railways with only one rail have been amongst the dreams Of science for a good many years and appear to be feasible owing to the utilisation of the gyroscope, which, on the prin­ ciple of a boy's humming top, main­ tains its equilibrium by Its speedy revolutions. A modification of the original design is just now coming Into use, which gives a tolerably ef­ fective light railway at a very cheap rate, and may revolutionize country transportation entirely. It consists of a six Inch rail of hard wood, or metal, supported on posts, five or six feet apart, jvlth a subsidiary rail a couple of feet below it. The car sits astride the track. Its bottom just above the snowline, one wheel running vertical­ ly along the top rail, and two hori­ zontal wheels running, one each side of the subsidiary rail. The propul­ sion is by a gasoline, or if preferred, any other engine, 8et for convenience above the upper rail on the car. The horizontal wheels preserve the bal­ ance on which principle the ^ystem depends. Grades and curves are said to be easily negotiable. The aver­ age expense of building the track is said to be about $2,000 a mile. Two counties in Nova Scotia have voted bonuses of $1,000 a mile to companies which are about to build lines. There are short, lines already in operation at Ottawa, and at Sherbrooke, Que. Conductor's Good Reasoning.1 The street car conductor was about to be transferred to another line. Not his to reason why, yet on that occa­ sion he did, and with the chief of the department. "I don't like that line," he said. "What's the mutter with it?" asked the chief. "It's commonplace," said the con­ ductor. "I will lose my good manners If I go down there The line I am on now as a well riresseci iine and a lib­ eral education for the railway em­ ploye. I am not the same man I was when I was moved up there two years ago from a downtown line. I am more polite, my voice is lower and I have spruced up in general appearance. It Is that way with every man in the business. Put him on a line patronized by well dressed people and he will fix up to fit his surroundings. If I go back on that other line I will lose polish." All the chief said then was "Well, well"; but the conductor was not transferred. The Perilous Years. Justice Ford of New York Was dis­ cussing his famous dictum: "In my opinio^ It takes about five years for the ordinary couple to learn to over­ look each other's faults." He said: "After 5 years of marriage a spirit of gentleness and loving kindness mani­ fests itself. But in the first two or three years a spirit of the bitterest disillusion prevails. "This bitter spirit was well illus­ trated in a dialogue wherein a young wife sobbed, 'And you used to say that you could hear the rustle of an­ gels' wings whenever I drew near you!' " 'But I've found out now,' the hus­ band sneered, 'that the sound was only the creaking of your broken cor­ set bones.'" Granite From Norway. Havana imports Its granite paving blocks from Norway, getting them cheaper than it can from any Ameri­ can port. It is said that the low Norwegian freight rates, combined with the low cost of material, prevent competition. Beyond Cavil.

Heber Springs, Ark.--From the mid­ dle of the Little Rod river, near Shl- loh. the two-and-a-half year old daugh­ ter of J. L. BIttle of this, place, gayfr waved her hands at the horrified pa­ rents on the bank and when they res­ cued her from the rushing (oTrent, she laughed in glee over her esca­ pade. How the baby reached the sh&ljbw water In the middle of the stream will probably forever be a mystery. Mr. and Mrs. BIttle had gone from Heber Springs to spend the day with the parents of BIttle and when they reached the farm the child was asleep. By Lydia Vegetable E. PinkhamTgr Compound Baby on 8and Bar. BIttle unhitched bis team in the barn and placed the baby upon some hay to continue her nap. Returning in a few islnutes the fath­ er and mother found the child had dis­ appeared. No trace of the little girl could be found and the alarm was given. In a short time neighbors were scouring the woods but the parents were the successful ones, finding their little one in the middle of the river, quietly wading toward the opposite bank. They called to her and she turned to wave a greeting to the frightened parents. In a 6hort time the child was rescind and placed in the arms of the mother, who fainted when she saw her baby in the river. To reach the river the child had passed through a field of corn and walked about a mile and a half. She had crawled through, or climbed ofer, two high barbed wire fences without a scratch to body or clothing. The water was at least six feet deep for about 20 feet next to th6 bank from which the little girl had entered. Sho was in water to her neck when discov­ ered by her parents and In a few feet- ln front of her was more deep water. She either swam through the deep water or hung on to a log which float­ ed her to the middle of the stream. It was evident though she had been in water over her head for her hair was wet BIG BABOON STARTS PANIC Escapes From His Cage at a North Dakota Interstate Fair and Causes 8tampede. Fargo, N. D.--"Chacama," a big ba­ boon being exhibited at the interstate fair here, broke loose from his cage and caused a panic among the hun­ dreds of people on the grounds. It was only after an exciting chase of over two miles by armed trainers in an automobile that the animal was finally captured by means of a canvas sack. The baboon first made for the booth of the First Presbyterian church of Baboon Runs Amuck. Moorehead. Here he seized one of the small girlB and threw her to the ground, but did not injure her. He then overturned the tables In the place and proceeded to the roof. Here h« tore off shingles, drove away four car­ penters, tore off boards from the roof and then made across the country. Automobiles followed, and he was fin­ ally captured in a greenhouse near this city. What Fly Did to Little Girl. New Orleans.--Your old friend, the common house fly that "fails to wipe its feet," doesn't care where he de­ posits his disease spreading germs. The Louisiana state board of health has a test tube containing 127 mag­ gots. This Is what the health board says about It: "A little girl, the patient of a New Orleans physician one day felt a tick­ ling sensation in her nose. She used her handkerchief, nuii after blowing her nose discovered a fly in her hand­ kerchief. Seven days later the phy siclan removed from the child's nost 127 maggots that had develofed from the egg deposited by the fly." "Ah! how true it is that one must die to be appreciated! Poor Rover was never worth half that when he was alive." CHILD'S HEAD A MASS OF HUMOR "I think the Cuticura remedies are the best remedies for eczema I have ever heard of. My mother had a child who had a rash on its head when It was real young. Doctor called it baby rash. He gavo us medicine, but it did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass, a running sore; It was < awful; the child cried continually. We j had to hold him and watch him to ! keep him from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re­ solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap­ plied the Cuticura Ointment. We had not used h^lf before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beau­ tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti­ cura Ointment very good' for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair." (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah. Sept. 19, 1910.
