THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. WESTERN CANADA II LAND-HUNGRY It Is Essentially an Agricultural Country. Western Canada is the Meccn of the lund-hungry tnun who wishes to earn n good living from the soil nnd snveup money to take cure of him In his old age without paying a fancy price for the privilege. Western Canadu Is the great wheat producing section of the North Amer ican continent, with an average pro duction of more than 30 bushels to the acre as compared with ah average of 17 bushels to the acre In tho States. Wheat raising can hardly be made profitable on land that costs from $f0 an acre up unless such land will pro duce a much higher than a -17 bushel average, or unless the price of the cereal reaches an excessive figure. The Initial Investment or $50 an acre is moro thnn tho nverago mau can af ford to make if ho expects to raise wheat and to mnke a success of It. A good homestead of 100 acres can still bo secured free In Western Can ada and additional land admirably suited to the raising of wheat can be secured at so low a cost per acre that It can be made extremely profitable. No other part of the world offers Mich frniiipnilnnu rmnnrtonltlos at the present time to the nmbltlous young farmer as the three great provinces of Western Canada. It Is worth tho while of the land hungry man to cease his depressing search for local cheap land or for land tlint Is not entirely worked out by long cropping nnd to look outside his own district. Western Canada Is n country that should receive the con sideration of all such men. The West ern Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche wan and Alberta are essentially agri cultural territory. Out of 478 million acres there are 160 million acres of llrst-class agricul tural land actually available for de velopment a block three and a half times as large as the total land area of Minnesota, and equul to the combined land areas of Minnesota, Iowa. Wis consin, Illinois and Indiana. But whereas tho population of the ilvo states mentioned Is fifteen million people, the population of Western Canada Is only about one and three quarter millions. , It has been said that the average yycld per acre of wheat In tho United States last year was 17 bushels. This average does not, of course, represent tho tfflclency which may have been reached by individual farmers or by individual states. However, place against this figure the fact that the 1015 Western Canadian nverngo tho average from nearly twelve million acres was over !i0 bushels. In the case of the Province of Alberta, the averago reAchcd 32.84 bushels per acre. - There nre already a large number of Amerlcun farmers In Western Cnnnda, so that the newcomer could never overlooking tho fact that the same language Is spoken feel himself in an nllen country. There seems, In fact, n tendency to establish little 'colonies composed of those coming from the same sections. The characteristics of tho country, and the climate and season, are very much the same as In' Minnesota or North Dakota. Soclnl conditions bear a family resemblance. Education Is free, and Is good ; Its cost being defrayed partly by tnxatlon, partly by grunts from tho Cnnndlnn Government, from tho sales of school lands, of which, when tho country was first surveyed, two sections In every township wero nllocated. Taxation In every rural district, in many towns and cities, Is based practically on land values alone, Improvements of nil kluds being exempted. Advertisement. Janle's Way. The young man was In love. Ho had declared his passion to the young lady nnd she had passed lilm along to father. Father listened to his tale patiently.

"No," said tho old gentleman, "but from what I know of Jnnle. If she would have taken you without re ferring you to me." New York Times DRUGGIST PRAISES POPULAR KIDNEY MEDICINE .

Ho noticed a woman weeping bitterly beside n fresh grave, which she was fannlnt: vigorously. He was touched by her evident grief, und said : "Oh, sorrowful one, what is your trouble?" "Your Honorable Excellency, my husband Is dead." "No doubt he was n good husband, and you nre to be pitied, but why nre you fanning his grave?" "IJxalted one," replied tho woman and her voice choked with sobs "my husband made me promise not to mar ry again until his grave was dry."

" Nice Distinction. "I suppose you will send your fnmlly awny for tho summer?" "No, Indeed,' answered tho meek looking man. "My wife and daugh ters would resent the Idea of my send ing them anywhere. However, they expect to be away all summer." When a man Is looking for trouble few of his friends nre too busy to as sist him in the search. A misfit bargnln Isn't fit for any thing.
