Omaha hunkers confrm statements of re
tailers that hoiidav shopping hnA gone well
ahead of "n.st year. Afflrma Ion of this
statement Is made hv retail houses who
have examined their bricks to confirm their
impressions and who find that cash re
ceipts ar irrenter than at the same date
in v.v.
"Sierehants are reporting better sales
than last year.'' said W. H. Buchola. v'ce
president of the Omaha National bank,
and t!ie deposits they are making daily tend
to hear out the truth of these statements.
We are informed that buying has been
generally liberal, particularly tn smaller
articles of good nuaiiiy. In the most ex
pensive articles in some lines, such as
Jewelry, the demand is not greater than
in U"X. according to report, but It la not
behind and the general total of sales seems
to be considerably ahead.
"The Omaha, bankimf situation is normal,
which means excellent. Deposits are some
what lower than at times, because of ths
continuing strong demand from the coun
try hanks, rt Is evident t!ia the farmer is
still asking the country hsnKer to car-y
him until the farmer s sxa.n ts marketed.
But grain has been moving better and the
pressure on the country banker Is slacken
ing. "Money In easy In Omaha and merchants
are not hard pressed, so they are not bor
rowing in remarkable sums. The money
situation could hardly be better In Omaha
from the industrial standpoint."
Grain exchange Tgures on receipts show
a good movement, as Mr. Buchols declares.
Receipts for the first twenty davs of Sep
tember are 1.U7H rars. as against TS9 for the
same time Inst year. A slight slackening
was perceptible Wednesday and If this i
should keep up the eyar will end with j
about the same total receipts as last year. ,
If receipts should he heavy the next two j
weeks U" will be surpassed.

A large addition t the revenues sf

Four Young Mea from This City Woo
ing1 Soil in Westarn Alberta
Minister Visits Northland.
Four youns; me of Omaha are living on
homesteads in southern Alberta. Rev. T.
T. Rouse, pastor of the First Congrega
tional church, recently returned from a
Ttslt to western Canada, where he spent
some time wtlh his son, one of the home
steaders, and met Chester and Hart Jenks
and Ralph Welrlcn. The Omaha settlers
are UW miles east of Calgary and forty
miles from the railroad.
Any boy of 18 years can file for I'0 acres
and by the time be la 21 he will have a
farm worth trotn 2,m to 16,000. He need
only spend three summers on the place and
can go to school winters at home. The
Canadian homestead laws require a resi
dence of six months sach, year for three
years.
"I found! ma American boy who had
been helper la a machine shop at fl-50 a
day who took up a clo.m five years ago
and now he has Aaft auras In Alberta, has a
fruit farm In Brtttsh Columbia and la
worth C&.OO" today." said Mr. Rouse.
"Calgary has grewsj In ten years from
4.0U0 ta 50,000. Prices have gone up there
to heights that make Omaha lota look
cheap. The streets are beautifully paved
and many fine buildings have been erected.
"Air southern Alberts, suffered with the
widespread drouth last summer. P. O.
McIIuKh. well known In Omaha. Is secre
tary of the Calgary Uraln exchange. He la
a most enthusiastic American-Canadian. Ha
said that though the wheat crop was cut
down tow-thirds this year, no one was dis
couraged. Land prices around Lelthbrtdgs.
Macleod and Calgary hold at from 0 to
tho an acre. Some lands farther away can
be picked up at from $15 to ta per acre.
"I found a few good pieces near Medicine
Hat that can be bought now at from tl2.;4
to These are near the railroad and the
liver, close to coai and In the wonderful
natural gas region.
"Of all the places. Medicine Hat Im
pressed me most for Its Immediate pros
pects. They are on the great Saskatche
wan river. They have abundant coal, and,
best of all. an apparently unlimited supply
of wonderful natural gas. Think of living
where gas la so aheap It does not pay to
turn It out. The city streets are brilliantly
lighted and the gas burns all day because
It would cuat mure to hire a man to turn
It out than the gaa costs. The city has
several great wells. 1.000 or more feet deep,
snd producing the finest gas at a oOo-pound
pressure. People heat, light and cook at
i :'; cnts per lcWO feet. One family was
taking care of their whole fuel and light
bill at ti per ' month la the winter, and
less than .10 cents in the summer.
"I went through an tmmense new brick
snd pottrry plant put up by some Ameri
can boys, who were haklng great quanti
ties ef brick and tile and running their
great engine wtlhout an ounce of wood or
coal at an expense less than It would cost
to hire mea to shovel absolutely free coal
:nto the furnaces. The city dug and gavn
them a. Weil, so their fuel hill for all time
Is paid. This, with the best clay elose br
for the digging, ought to prove a bonanza
in a treeless country. Rolling mills are
bow going in on the same basis. The Can
adian Faciflu has several wells along its
lines. Ilvnta irs tat.ona fills Its car tanas
and lights its oars with tree gas."
