tlio o.'Jlee of the Hudson Buy company at
Winnipeg inr the bulging of a lour mill
near the mouth of the Peace river, whero
its waters unite with those of Lake
Athabasca. Hudeon llay company posts
have been raiting a little wheat lor eomu
years not only In this region, but alto
further north at Fori Resolution, on tho
shores of Great Slave lake, says tho
New York Sun.
It Is not unusual nownJays to hear
of wheat raising In the far north, espe
cially in Siberia. A few weeks ago rt.
U bkaiasubof, addrfsring an agricul
tural convention at St. Petersburg, cltca
many facts' to disprove the popular Idea
that wheat will not ripen north of Ci
degreep north latitude.
A clergyman-at Wugansk, for exam
ple, In (ii (kgreos north latitude, is build
ing a mill propelled by wind power to
turn ills aprlng wheat Into Hour. At
Musau, on the Pelym river, In the samo
latitude, a farmer bus extended his
area under tillage and now has a sur
plus of wheat to sell. The sptaKcr men
tioned many other examples.
The fact that wheat Is now grown suc-
ceisluljy In the Peace river region. In
the central part of thL- continent be
tween GO and' C2 degrees north latitude,
Is chlelly due to the Chinook winds, the
warm, dry winds which blow northward
to the cast of the Canadian Rockies.
They temper the climate of tho Peace
river country In a remarkable manner,
so Hint 'the spring opens as early on tho
upper Peace river in latitude FG degrees
as at Montreal, and the seeding time is
actually earlier.
Tho influence of these remarkable
winds is felt as far east as Regina, In
Assinlboia, and extends far to the north
west, cast of the mountains, through 15
degrees of latitude.
Many thousands of square miles along
the Peace River valley In Athabasca are
very fertile, growing luxurious grass
and excellent wheat. Hut no settlers as
yet ar? found in Hint far northern re
gion; and the only purpose of the Hud
son Hay company is to turn the local
wheat Into Hour for its agents, scnttcred
through that region and thus save the
high cost of importing flour.
Even If that country should bo devel
oped its wheat is more likely to go to
fo?d the mining enmps in the mountains
than to join the stream of Canadian
wheat (lowing to Great Dritaln. Alber
ta, further eouth. is raising much wheni,
but not a bushel of It is crossing the
Atlnntle, because wheat, being cheap
and heavy, cannot pay high freight
rates. Alberta wheat cannot now bo
moved to the cast at a profit. It all goes
to feed the local population and tho
neighboring mining camps of the west,

Miss Gannon, Sec
Art Association, tells
do to avoid pain and suffering caused by
female troubles.
"Deati Mrs. PiNirnAr: I can conscientiously rbcommcndliycllaEJ
Plnklmm's YcgctaBlo Compound to those of my sisters sulTering with
female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I suf
fered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had
hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable.
In my distress I was advised to use Jjydia E. Pinldiam's Vegetable
iwnti tl o ii rl if iin a n vwl lrJfii loir 4 r Tirt nlinii T 4 rr1r 4 Tin 41 Tof- Inoa
for at that timo my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed
woman, ieri'eetly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that;
I want all women who suffer to get well as I did." Miss Guila Gannon,
5350 Jones St., Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association.
It is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia U.
Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound will certainly euro tho sufferings
of women ; and when ono considers that Bliss Gannon's letter is
only ono of tho countless hundreds which wo are continually
publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pink
ham's medicine must be admitted by all ; and for the absolute cure of all kinds
of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear
this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store, and be sure not
to accept anything that is claimed to be " just as good" as JLydia JE. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ills haa
made ko many actual cures. .
How Another Sufferer Was Cured.
(Dcar Mrs. Pinkram: I cannot praise your wonderful remedies
enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have
had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles,'
was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous pros
tration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and
night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to
your medicine, I now feel like a different woman.
" I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound to all. It has now been four years sinco
I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety
eight pounds at that time ; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three.
"I consider your Vegetable Compound tho finest remedy made.
Thanking you many times for tho benefit I received from your medicine,
I remain, Yours truly, Mas. J. II. Farmer, 2809 Elliott Ave., St. Louis, Mo.
Remember Itfrs. Pinlcham's advice is free and all sick women
aro foolish if they do not ask for it. Sbo speaks from the widest;
experience, and has helped multitudes of women.
