MAKES NEW MARK
TIME RECORD BROKEN BY LUSL
TANIA ACROSS ATLANTIC.
A TRIFLE OVER FIVE DAYS
Deutschland Still Ahead In Speed
Performance Fraction of a Knot
to Her Credit Over the New
Ocean Greyhound.
A few days ago there was a cele
bration of tho hundredth anniversary
of that proud occasion when Robert
Fulton's KiO-foot steamer Clermont
went puffing up the Hudson river
at five miles an hour. Friday
New Yorkers turned out to welcomo
a steam craft, tho passengers of
-which breakfasted In Queenstown, Ire
land, Sunday, nnd lunched In Nov
York on the lilth. Both cxperlmontas,
equally successful, were epoch-making
In the way of propulsive power, tho
Clermont with her side paddles and
tho new Cunarder with tho quadruplo
turbines.
Tho voyage of tho Lusltania, so
happily completed, was most Import
ant In that It was a test of tho most
modern propulsive power, This Is the
view tnkon by her owners, who arc
satisfied that the practicability of the
turbine for fast ships has been demon
strated and that this new departure
In English shipbuilding has been Jus
tifled.
The fact that, the Lusltania was
able to cross tho Atlantic In live days
and fifty-four minutes and was able
ou her maiden trip nearly to equal
the best trans-Atlantic record is held
to be of secondary importance. Offi
cials of the line said that the Luslta
nia had done all that was expected
of her without her having been pushed
to make a record, and they were con
fldent that she would be able when
called upon to add to her, achieve
ments tho fastest voyage across the
Atlantic.
Heretofore, It was pointed out, tur
bines have been constructed for mod
erate speed, but on ho Lusltania and
her sister ship, Mauretanla, built with
the greatest government subsidy ever
paid, was staked the British hope that
turbine-driven vessels would prove
not only the most complete, but the
swiftest liners afloat.
Ernest Cunard, director of the line
who was a passenger on tho Lusltania,
said:
"I came over to watch the working
of the ship in order to sco If we could
Improve the Mauretanla, now nearlng
completion. I find that I shall have
no suggestions to make."
From the time that tho Lusltania
sailed from Queenstown at noon Sun
day until she came through the now
Ambrose channel and reached her new
pier at tho foot of West Thirteenth
street, North river, at noon Friday,
lie steamer behaved excellently.
TO ENUMERATE CRIPPLES.
Senator Burkett Takes Up the Ques
tlon With Census Director.
Senator Burkett has been having
some correspondence with the dlrectoi
of census with reference to an enu
meratlon of crippled and deformec
children. As a result of tho corres
pondence the director of census hai
advised him thnt he will bring the sub
ject to the attention of tho (ensus com
mittee of congress at the next session.
It Is believed by the friends of this
movement that there should be an enu
meration In tho various state of crip
pled and deformed children so that tho
various state legislatures might be
reliably and fully Informed as to the
Importance of the matter. Nebraska
Is only ono of three states that so far
have taken up the matter of establish
lng an Institution where crippled chil
dren may be treated scientifically.
While It is not the Intention of those
moving in this matter that tho federal
government shall undertake to build
any hospitals, nevertheless It Is
thought that the federal government
can well afford to make this enumera
tlon to show tho importance of It to
the various state legislatures.

amendmont taking from federal courts
tho right to enjoin state officiate from

WHAT FATHER AND
HARRY ACCOMPLISHED
AN ILLINOIS MAN WRITES RE
GARDING HIS SUCCESS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
Change in Homestead Regulations
Makes Entry Easily
Accomplished.
"Nothing succeeds like success" is
an old nnd true saying having many
applications In Western Cunada. The
following letter Is an Illustration. The
writer, Mr. Gerts, left Chicago n short
time ago and tho success he has
achieved may well bo gained by any
one having pluck nnd energy by locat
ing on the free homestead lands In
Western Canada. A change recently
made In the Canadian Land Regula
tions concerning homesteads makes It
possible for any member of a family to
make entry for any other member of
the family entitled to a homestead.
For Instance, a man may now make
entry before the local agent for his
father or for his brother or brothers,
or for his son or sons, or for a sister
or daughter who may be the head of
the family having minor children de
pending upon her for support. A sis
ter, daughter or mother nre also en
titled to make entry upon a home
stead. The only fee required is $10.00
for each entry. A great saving in rail
way expenses is thus made.
Head what Mr. Gerts has to say:
Battleford, Sask., Aug. 4, 1907.
Dear Sin-
Thinking a letter from us Northwest
settlers might interest you, and 1 write
a few lines and let you know we are
progressing finely and well pleased
with our new home.
When I think of the many hard
working, industrious men east with
families who are struggling for a liv
ing and doing the strenuous, laying up
practically nothing for old age and the
thousands of acres of land here yet to
bo plowed and cultivated capable of
raising sixty to eighty bushels of oats,
thirty to forty bushels of wheat, it cer
tainly seems a pity the two cannot be
brought together. But I will repeat,
this country is only for tho industrious
and thrifty; also I might add, It re
quires some capital to start.
A man should have at least a team
of three good horses; better to have
mares so as to have some colts com
ing along each year. It is best to bring
them with him as work horses are
high. He should be"abie to purchase
plow, disc and drag, harrow, drill,
binder and hay rake. Of course sev
eral taking up claims or buying land
near together can divide up the pur
chasing of the above machinery and
exchange work. This plan will work
well for a few years or until crops will
warrant each individual to purchase a
full outfit.
We have 4 SO acres of as good farm
land as lies in the famous Cut Knife
district. Every foot can bo plowed.
Last year our oats run t0 bushels per
acre. 1 sold them for 50c per bushel
on the place.
The indications are for a good crop
this year, though we were very lato
in seeding owing to the late spring.
Last winter was the coldest known In
this country by the oldest settlers
(some who have been here 35 years),
but with a comfortable house and
plenty of firewood, which we hauled
four miles, we passed the winter quite
pleasantly. The air is clear and dry.
Some of the days I came from work I
was surprised to find the thermometer
registering 40 below zero. Though
we never keep fire at night, we had
nothing freeze in our cellar.
Our stock and chickens wintered
fine. 1 have a yearling heifer, who

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There Ik only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness In cauted by an inflamed condition of too
mucous lining or the Eustachian Tule. When this
tube la Inflamed you have a rumbling bound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It 1b entirely doped, Deaf
ness le the result. and unlets the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube teetered to Its normal condi
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are enured by Catarrh, which le nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of
Peafueis (caused by catarrh) thnt cannot be cured

would hold her own In any "fat stock
show." She has never had a drop of
milk since sho was four months old
nnd hns never had a mouthful of grain.
A gentleman who saw her mado tho
remark, "He bet that heifer had eaten
her head off with grain," but would
hardly believe she had never had any
grain.
This is a great country for growing
all kinds of vegetables and wo arc
certainly enjoying our garden. Tho
flavor of the green peas is especially
fine. Last season Mrs. O. canned a lot
of them, and wo have enjoyed them up
to the fresh crop.
I am sorry I did not have tlmo this
past season to attend to transplanting
trees, but will keep the land I had pre
pared worked up for next season's
planting. I received a number of small
trees (ash and maple) from tho Gov
ernment Experimental Farm at J.ndlnn
Head. I put them around tho edge of
the garden and they are doing fine. I
also received quite a lot of qth'ir seeds,
oats, wheat, potatoes and rhubarb
roots which were acceptable.
It is useless for us to bother with
garden flowers as wild ones grow in
profusion. Wre are located near a flno
creek, the water of which Is soft and
fine for bathing and washing. Wehavo
a well of water near the house, 32
feet deep and 21 feet of water all tho
time, though it is harder than the
creek water.
Land which could be bought for five
dollars per acre three years ago Is
now worth $14 per acre and steadily
advancing each year.
All kinds of improvements are going
on. Steam plows and large threshing
outfits are already in. Roads are be
ing graded, bridges being built across
rivers and creeks. Last year I took
my family, also wagon, across tho Sas
katchewan river in a row boat, swam
my team across and now the contract
has been let for $200,000 bridge at that
place.
The C. N. R. have run their final
survey from Battleford to Calgary,
running west about ono mile north of
us. The C. P. R. have run a survey,
which runs northwest passes about 500
feet from tho northeast corner of our
farm. The country will soon be cov
ered with a net work of railroads and
it will keep them busy hauling the out
put of grain. It Is certainly encourag
ing to us settlers.
Two years ago, Harry, my son, and
I as you know unloaded our car at
Saskatoon and drove 130 miles to our
claim. Last fall wo had only 18 miles
to haul our wheat to railroad and as
you see, the prospects are we will have..
a railroad at our very door and a town
near-by. This district can support a
good town and it will be well patron
ized. Harry arrived home at 12 p. m. last
night after going fourteen miles to
blacksmith shop to get plowshares
beat out. The shop was full of work
and it was eight p. m. when Harry left
for home and parties still in line to
have Avork done. We will need stores
nearer and good mechanics.
Wo are all enjoying tho best of
health which is a great blessing.
When wo left Chicago over a year ago
my youngest son's (four years of age)
health was so poor that I almost de
spaired of raising him, but ho is cer
tainly a hearty, healthy little fellow
now. The pure fresh air has done him
worlds of good.
So to sum up the whole. Why
should we not be glad we mado the
break? A good farm, stock Increasing,
health and an Independent life. What
more can we expect?
Did we have to make an effort? You
can bet we did and hustle, too. Should
you pass this way with your shotgun
this fall, we should be pleased to let
you shoot prairie chickens ' off our
grain stocks.
Respectfully yours,
CI1AS. M. GERTS AND FAMILY.
