Mr. John Lambert, formerly of 'Elma, is the caretaker of the build- jing. John is at present on a trip to the Pacific coast. Mr. Milton Roth- betes is manager of Wood's Hard- 'ware business and is in receipt of a 'good salary. He is greatly taken up | with the city and the West generally. On Friday, Aug. 2nd, we left Re- gina for North Battleford by C.N.R., arriving there after a twelve hours ride, passing through _ Saskatoon, Lumsden and Warman Junction en \route. North Battleford is separated from Old Battleford by the north branch of the Saskatchewan river which takes its rise in the Rockies and flows eastward through Edmon- ton and down through North West- ern Saskatchewan and joins the Saskatchewan river near Prince Al- bert.. The river drains a very large basin but is exceedingly turbid and muddy, as all the Western rivers are, and is full of sandbars and treacher- ous currents which renders it un- safe for bathers and canoeists who are not expert. The river is span- "| ned by a bridge which connects North Battleford with Battleford, the old town, and is an exceedingly long one Local Agent ~ Wanted For the "Old Reliable" FONTHILL NURSERIES Thousands of orchard trees need replacing.

SHADOW "TEST "He Looks Into the Eye" Y THIS METHOD, it is almost B impossible to make an error, as all work is done by looking into the eye, thereby locating the de- fect right at its source. Weak Muscles Strengthened Headaches Cured, Cross consisting of eight spans and two very long approaches, besides making use of a large island in the river. Bridge, island and approaches extend about half a mile in length and opens up a vast country south of the Eagle Hills, viewing it from the North Bat- tleford residents point of view. The river cannot at any time be forded at any point, owing to its shifty and sandy bed. There is always a part of the channel which is very deep. Old Battleford from the _ historical point of view, is the more interesting place, having been known to Canad- ians generally since 1885, when the small settlement, consisting of about 400 souls, had to be gathered within. the precincts of the Mounted Police barracks for over a month until re- lieved by General Otter, to protect them from the Indians and here one of the skirmishes in the rebellion took place with the result that a num- ber of whites were killed. While as yet no monument or cairn marks their resting place, the fact is attest- ed to by two brass plates on the crumbling stone columns of the. gate- way that leads to the little cemetery on the prairie in which they lie. What was once the Indian Indus- trial School is now an unused place, save for one or two buildings occu- pied by the Seventh Day Adventists, who from the appearance of the place do not work on Saturday or any other day in the week. The rows of white unoccupied-.buildings with a door swung off its hinges here and there, have a spectral appearance as one meanders leisurely through the spac- ious grounds. It was at Battleford (so called be- cause at this point the Battle River could be forded) that General Pound- maker, one of Louis Reil's chief gen- erals surrendered on May 26th, 1885 to General Middleton. This practi- cally ended the rebellion. In the town are many splendid pub- lic buildings, including the Dominion Government building, land titles of- fice, court house, a number of schools a hospital and municipal buildings. Of late years the population has dwindled to but little over a thous- |and, owing to the fact that when the C.N.R. came through it located its station and grounds on the opposite side of the river, with the natural re- sult that a new town grew up around it and>this place having the railway facilities soon outstripped the old town. The G. T. P. came later, but not before it had been beaten in the race by its new competitor." Having, with the optimism which is character- istic of the West, built all public buildings on the presumption that the town would continue to expand, many of. them have been abandoned and are falling into careless ruin. Grass grows in the streets and the ubiqui- tous gopher plays everywehere with reckless abandon. North Battleford, the new town, while perhaps a little less pleasantly situated than the old town, is well placed 150 feet above the high water mark of the Saskatchewan and has also seen more prosperous days than it at present enjoys, although it has population of over 3,000 souls and a better shape to finance its af- | fairs than the town across the river. With the exception of Saskatoon, it is the largest town on the C.N.R. be- tween Regina and Edmonton. It also has more public buildings than it re- quires and a:movement is at present on foot to have the Government take over one of the schools and turn it into a soldier's hospital. _The provin- cial asylum is situated here and is one of the finest institutions of the kind P.

It is the only one in the province and has confined within its walls nearly nine hundred patients. The buildings and equip- ment are about the last word in asy- lum building. A commendable feature about North Battleford, which seems to be characteristic of all the towns of the west is the deference paid to educa- tion by the erection of large and com- modious public and high schools and the equipment of competent teachers.

ROBERT McMANE Furniture Dealer e echt aie watataenl Milverton Funeral Director and Embalmer In North Battleford are several splen- did schools, but the Duke of Con- naught school, from an architectural point of view is one of the finest that could be seen anywhere. Nowhere in Eastern Canada have I seen a finer building in a town the size. I had the pleasure of attending the fair held there and was astonished at the exhibits of horses and cattle. In Ontario one would have to visit the fair at London to view an exhibit of equal proportions. There were great rows of stables and all were filled. There were exhibits from Winnipeg and all points in the West and one herd came from Old Ontario. In the building a display of fancy work that filled the eyes of the ladies was done by patients of the asylum. The races were quite up-to-date, but the most interesting feature of them was the pony races by the Indians, who ride some on bareback and some on sad- dle, decked in all colors. These races are on the square as an Indian rides for blood every time. During fair week the Indians come down from the reserves and camp on the prairie opposite the show grounds while the fair is on. Sometimes they end up with a pow-wow, but, unfor- tunately for me, they did not put on that function this year. The farmers in the Battleford dis- trict,, in fact, those in the entire dis- trict comprising Prince Albert, Sask- atoon and Edmonton, were hard hit this year by a freak frost in July, the mercury for three successive nights dropped from 10 to 16 degrees below freezing point and practically des- troyed 85 per cent. of the wheat crop and damaged the oat crop to the ex- tent of 50 per cent. Potatoes in many places were frozen black. The frost was the worst experienced in ten years. Great optimism, however, is characteristic of the people of the west and all are looking forward to planting more than ever next year. Near Battleford are a number of lakes, but the most popular resort is Meota Beach or Jackfish lake. This lake is about 20 miles in length and varies from four to ten miles in width and abounds in pickerel and pike. One can go out troling almost any- time and in a comparatively short 'ltime secure a fine catch. Ducks abound in thousands on all the lakes and here and there one may see flocks of pelicans, but like the wild , hia they are shy and do not allow ne to approach very closely. Co- yotes may be seen quite frequently in grain fields and along the edges of bluffs. Prairie chicken are quite plentiful in this district and in the north, although farther south they have become ve searce and the scarcity is believed to be due to pois- oning as many farmers have been soaking grain in strychnine and set- ting it out for the destruction of the gophers which are a real pest, but it has resulted in the destruction of the chicken to a more noticable extent than it has to the gopher. : While here I van across several Perth county boys, who are doing well in this section of the country. Among them were Messrs. D. F. Stewart, who has worked up a big connection in the cattle business. Dr. J. W. Stewart, who has an extensive practice, and Mr. A. A. Stewart, who deals extensively in land selling. Mr. 'Samuel Burnett, formerly of Elma, whose wife was formerly Miss Woods of Mornington, is connected with the International Harvester Co. Mr. Wm. Reis, formerly of Milverton, disposed of a lucrative barbering business in order to go overseas. Mr. J. J. Whal- ey lives at Denholm and has been very successful in farming since he came to this country and has not been so hard hit this year as many others. Mr. James Roulston is en- gaged in farming on shares with Mr. Patterson, of Meota. Mr. Harold Bleakney has a half section near Me- ota and had a goodly acreage in this year but was hit by the frost. He is, however, going to give farming an- other trial next year. Mr. and Mrs. Bleakney enjoy life on the prairie. The farm is located in a fine district, the buildings are all protected by surrounding bluffs which at the time chickens. Mr. Bleakney is enabled to eliminate distance through the use of a new McLaughlin six-cylindered car which he purchased this spring and he drives it at a pace over the winding trails that could not be thought possible. North of Meota is one of the Gali- cian settlements. The people in this settlement appear to be above the average and they make good thrifty farmers and are beginning to acquire wealth. Most of them have gone in for cattle grazing as well as farming and this year when the crop failed they managed to derive a good in- come from the sale of cattle. As it does not cost much to pasture cattle here many of them keep their steers until they are four or five years old. Mr. D. F. Stewart purchased, a pair the other day that tipped the beam at 5,200 pounds and the buyers will hardly look at. anything that weighs less. than 2,000 Ibs. Most of the Gali- cian homes are built of hewed poplar dovetailed at the corners and plaster- ed with clay and prairie grass. The roof is generally sodded or thatched with wheat straw. in the head. The interior consists generally of a "wee but and ben". The stables and hog 'pens are also constructed of poplar and thatched. Signs are not wanting to show that when they are able they will have as good houses as. other people. The Galician will make good as he takes to the soil and is making good progress and in most cases is respected by his English speaking neighbor. The children are learning English in the schools and assimula- tion will rapidly take place. From North Battleford we proceed- ed by C.N.R. to Edmonton. . As we had to make the trip going and return at night, we were unable to see much of the country save what you could lview late in the evening and in the early morning. We approached Ed- monton about eight in the morning when the sun was well up and the view was a pleasant one. The dis- trict is much more wooded than the districts south. The city has a popu- lation of about 70,000 and is really a beautiful city and as a place of resi- dence is an ideal spot. It is situated on both banks of the North Saskat- chewan River. That part to the south was originally known as the city of Strathcona, but was amalgamated with Edmonton several years ago. The two sections of the town are connected by two bridges, one being a magnificient steel high-level bridge 2550 feet long, 152 feet above water level, which carries: the street car tracks and traffic roads as well as the C.P.R. tracks. Edmonton was established as a trading post of the Hudson Bay Company in 1795 and for many years the only means of transportation to and fro was by dog team or ox-cart. Now three great transcontinental systems of railway operate in it. owns and operates all its own public utilities; and it was one of the pio- neer cities of Western Canada to bring into force a single tax system of land assessment: This was evi- dently aimed at the Hudson's Bay Company--called by some "the curse of Edmonton." 'The company held vast tracts in the centre of the city, consisting of hundreds of acres wait- ing for it to appreciate in value through the industry of others. The single tax has forced them to relin- euish some of their holdings but they have on hand hundreds of acres yet. Edmonton is the distributing centre for the vast Peace River country to the north and northwest and is also the centre of a rapidly developing coal industry which, during the past year has been given a great impetus through the reduction in supplies from Pennsylvania. The more east- ern towns of Winnipeg and Regina are now beginning to look to the West for their supplies than to the east. In this city as in most others I found old Perth boys and all seem to be doing well. Here I met Mr. A. F. Ewing, M. P. P., for Edmonton, who practices law and enjoys a large pat- ronage. He is one of the main crit- ics of the opposition in the legisla- ture and when the opposition come to power is destined for cabinet honors. Mr. Ewing had a very vivid recollec- tion of the year and a half spent in Milverton twenty years ago and en- quired after all the old-timers. Messrs. John A. McClory, formerly of Monkton, and R. G. Grieve, formerly of Millbank, are in partnership in the Continental Insurance business and have splendidly appointed offices in the finest chambers in Edmonton. Be- sides insurance and real estate they are also interested in sawmilling. Mr. McClory is president of the Borden Club and has taken a prominent part in political affairs and I learned from a gentleman higher up in the coun- cils of the Conservative party that it is not unlikely that he will some day be favored with a nomination for a parliamentary constituency. His many friends in Old Ontario will be pleased to hear of the esteem in which he is held in the far west. Mr. R. G. Grieve also enjoys due measure of popularity and takes an equal in- terest in polities, though on the Lib- eral side and in the last election was quite closely associated with Mr. A. G. McKay in the campaign. Dr. John Follinsbee has a _ large practice here and specializes on children's cases only. BARLEY TO YIELD 65 BUSHELS TO ACRE IS REPORT Many of the barley fields of the province this year will yield 65 bush- els to the acre, according to the weekly report of the Ontario depart- ment of agriculture. The best aver- age return for one county in Ontario The average for the whole province in the banner year of 1915 was only 36 bushels. Oats are also a bumper crop, and will be considerably over the average in yield per acre. Essex and Kent report some fields running as high as 80 and 90 bushels to the acre, the of- ficial report says. The average for the province last year was 40.3. Spring wheat has done so well that it is likely to become a more estab- lished crop with some who have been neglecting it. Most of the barley and spring wheat and a considerable por- tion of the oats have been cut and stooked and some threshed. of my visit were alive with prairie Canada Food Board License No. 8--9799 The Best in Attractive | --Fall Merchandise-- | It is wise for you to think of your fall requirements early.

The Points Most Worth Considering Health and comfort is a very first consideration in buying cloth- ing of any kind. Attractive appearance is, however, a thing every- one should strive for, and this can be had by practising the best econ- omy, namely, by buying good materials. The question of quality is identical with these points of health, comfort and appearance, but the question of cost is an altogether different matter, and is forced upon nearly everyone's attention. Our Service Aims to Solve These Difficulties Our business has been handled so carefully and our resources have been used so entirely in safe merchandising propositions that we are able to meet present abnormal conditions and carry a larger stock than ever before. This, together with long experience, makes it possible for us to secure the very best goods, to get them early, and to get unusually good values. We have been investigating conditions other places and with an absolute confidence can offer you our stock of fine new lines, knowing that all through we can offer you really good merchandise and save you money. The new lines are selected for attractive style and good quality, and the more staple materials bought when prices were much lower than at present, and are in re- liable qualities, and a corresponding saving in price.
