DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL CANADA THE STORY OF DIQ YIELDS OF GRAIN COMES FROM EVERY SECTION. When tho man In tho States was tnlrl that lin rnnlrl fret 1T.fl nmu nf land in Central Canada comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche a. Saskatcho- wan and Alberta that under cultiva tion would produce from 20 to 30 bush els of wheat to tho aero, or if seeded to oats tho yiold would bo 40 to CO bushels, ho was skeptical. Tho same story was told tho man who wlshod to get nenrcr to existing lines of rail way, and was only asked to pay $10 to 12 an aero. Dut many tried it, eome one plan and somo another. Tho roan who acceptod tho 1G0 acres as a free gift, as a homestead, and was willing to put in tho required real dance duties of three years has now a farm worth from fifteen to twenty dollars an aero. Tho man who choso to purchase, and did so, took up his residence Just tho samo. Ho has land, that, in many cases, is worth twlco the money ho paid for it Both have found that tho story of splendid yields Tvas verified. Thoy havo had crops exceeding that promised; they havo seen oats that yielded 100 bushels to ho aero, and havo grown wheat that averaged 40 and ns high as. CO bushels to the aero. Their wheat was not a C7 lb. to tho bushel artlclo but G2 and C3 lbs. They have seen within tho past year or two trunk lines of rail way constructed through their district, nnd throwing out branch lines to the gates of their farm. Thoy havo seen schools established In their neigh bourhood nnd tho Government con tributing largely to their expense. Churches havo been eroctod, villages havo been established, towns have sprung into existence and cities are rapidly springing up, ns if tho magic hand of somo unseen conjurer was at work. But it was not; it was the le gitimate offering of tho wealth of the Hold which mado all theso things come about, naturally, and easy. Tho pral rle that thrco years ago was merely prairie, a patch of brown, Just waiting for tho ploughman, is to-day dotted with tilled farms nnd splendid homes. Tho lino of elevators with their glia tenlng metalled fireproof sides and roofs, indicate the location of tho town and tho railroad. Thero is tho glow of newness about it all, but tho elevator, tho splendid storo buildings and tho comfortablo hostelries. denote wealth, beyond that of tho Btrongth of the man who fashioned nnd built them but tho wealth of the soil, which means that the newness will bo fol lowed by a steady growth. Tho writer recently was a passenger over tho Grand Trunk Pacific, tho latest fac tor in this great marvelous field of development. Tho rapidity with which towns wero being built up, tho farm steadB occupied, was something oven bis experienced eye had not looked for. Everywhoro nlong tho line of this new transcontinental was tho dls tlngulshlng mark of progress. There was not a mile of tho length of the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and west that did not bear token of its w . ab vof ability to pay tribute to tho rovenuo tho road. Mention is made of this line, not because it is the last in the field, but because it Is ono of tho best built roads on tho Continent and traverses one of the best districts of an excellent country. It is well operated, and already has gone Into active servlco as anothor means of making it posslblo to secure moro speedily transit from tho grain fields to tho shipping centres. It had been tho intention in this artlclo to have tSpoken of some of tho yields of grain that have made the farmers of Cen tral Canada contented this year, but space will not permit, so that delight ful task will bo taken up in another lssuo.
