EYERYTH1K9 WAS FAVORABLE
SORRY HE DIDN'T MOVE TO WEST
ERN CANADA BEFORE.
Mr. Austin was a man who had
never had any previous experience In
farming, but Western Canada had al
lurements, and he profited. He got a
low-rate certificate from a Canadian
Government agent, and then moved.
What he says is interesting:
"Ranfurly. Alberta, May 10'08.
"J. N. Grieve, Esqr., Spokane, Wash
ington. Dear Sir: After a dozen or
more years of unsuccessful effort in
the -mercantile business in Western
Washington, in August, 1903, decided
to come to Alberta with a gentleman
who was shipping two cars live stock
to Edmonton. I assisted this man
with the stock over one hundred
miles out in the Birch Lake Country,
East of Edmonton. Indeed, how sur
prised, how favorably everything com
pared with my dream of what I want
ed to see In a new country.
"Had never had any experience in
farming, but I was immediately con
verted into a farmer. And from that
moment I have prospered. Selecting
a homestead near Birch Lake, I re
turned for wife and three small chil
dren and freighted out from Edmonton
In March following year we shoveled
a spot clear of snow and pitched our
tent and commenced operations, at
that time we had no neighbors. Four
years have passed, the locality, is well
settled, two miles from railway sta
tion, with churches and schools, tele
phone and good road accommodations.
"We are enjoying the privileges
granted to any rural district in
Washington. The Birch Lake Coun
try Is no exception, this great trans
formation is rapidly going on in every
district In Western Canada.
"I estimate that every quarter sec
tion in every direction is capable of
producing a comfortable living for a
family of ten forever. After paying
for two horses and a cow, had just
$10.00 to go on. Did my first plough
ing In my life. I was very awkward in
my work, but nature was glad and I was
abundantly paid for my efforts. Our
cattle has increased to about fifty
head, which was very profitable on ac
count of the abundance of forage. To
farm was compelled to buy about four
hundred dollars' worth of farm ma
chinery on time, and the payments fell
due last fall, and you may wonder how
I expected to pay for them when we
had such a bad year. 'Twas a little
bad for Western Canada or for a Mis
sourian. But Is not 35 or 40 bushels
oats a pretty good yield per acre in
many States? Then the price of
grain went out of sight, so when I had
sold my crop I found I was able to
make my payments nicely, besides we
had lots of feed. No one has any busi
ness raising cattle without growing
grain, or vice versa. As to the winters,
did not feed my cattle, excepting?te
calves, a fork of hay until In Marin.
Have found the winters much more
pleasant than we did In Western Wash
ington. This is strange and hard to
explain, but 'tis true, nevertheless, at
40 degrees below zero we have more
comfort than you would at 20 degrees
above, so still and dry with bright,
unny days. My wife says that the
only regret she has Is that we did not
come here ten years ago, as we would
now certainly have been in a position
to retire from hard work. Most wom
en soon become satisfied as neigh
bors begin to come round them.
Have 98 acres in crop this year.
besides two acres potatoes, which
have always brought me a fair
price. We find a ready market for
everything we produce. To the Poor
Man Here is a chance to establish
yourself. To the Rich Man Here is a
chance to buy land for $10.00 to $15.00
per acre which will produce more crops
than a halt dozen acres of your $50.00
to $75.00 per acre land. And ff not
very much mistaken, this year will
prove an eye opener to those who are
a little sceptical. The trouble with
me is that I have so much to say so
favorable to Alberta 'tis hard to be
brief. Respectfully,
(Signed) "P. S. AUSTIN."

JUST SWUNG A HAT
AND TRAIN WOULD STOP AT
FARMER'S SIGNAL.
n Early Days of the Rail This Was as
Effective as the Red Light
Now, But the Times
Have Changed.
Among the first railroads ever laid
In this country were the Hartford &
New Haven and the Boston & Provi
dence both new parts of that great
N. Y., N. H. & H. system which comes
near to controlling the transportation
business of all New England. The
early railroad corporations conducted
their affairs on a somewhat different
basis from the present day corpora
tions. One old farmer on the line of the
B. & P., just outside of Providence,
was urged to give the struggling road
permission to lay its tracks through
his farm. Being a Yankee, it was nat
ural for him to look to the main
chance in every transaction, and aside
from the- great public benefit that the
building of the road was supposed to
be, he wanted to know what he was
going to get out of it. .
"Why, you'll want to ride to town on
it, won't you?" it was suggested. "The
trains will travel faster than a horse."
Ah, but your station is two miles
In the other direction. Don't do pie
any good," grumbled the farmer.
So they told him that when he want
ed to go to town all he had to do was
to go down to the railroad, stand be
side the track, swing his hat when
the train came along, and it would
stop for him. And it did, too, for some
years. Then the company began to
make money began to "feel its oats"
as it were and new and younger men
got control. . A new superintendent
was put on that branch of the road,
and riding over the line one day he
,saw the farmer stop a train in this
manner and get aboard. Needless to
say that was the last time the old man
was so accommodated. He could swing
his old hat till he was blue In the face
thereafter and! as he said himself in
after years, "She'd whiz by an' would
not even hesertate!"
Speed was certainly not the first ob
ject of the early railroads. Freight
was what the promoters of the "rail
road kyars" were after. ' Stage coach
drivers held the new-fangled trains in
much contempt. In the beginning cars
traveled little if any faster than the
coaches. Supt. Davidson of the old N,
H. & H. once told of driving with his
father behind a team of horses, in
1840, when they had a race with a pas
senger train near Wallingford, Conn.,
where the railroad and turnpike are
parallel for ' three or four miles, and
for all that distance the carriage kept
pace with the railroad train.
Sometimes an inch of snow on the
rails would stop a train. Henry C.
White, one of the first conductors on
that road, related how he and the bag
gage master used to sit on the pilot of
the locomotive, one on each side, and
brush off the snow from the rails with
a broom as the train slowly crawled
on. Each had a pail of sand and now
ajid then sprinkled a shovelful on the
slippery rails. The driving wheels (en
gines only had one pair then), used to
slip in a most irritating way, and a
grade on a wet day was an experience
to turn a man's head gray! On one
occasion a train got stuck on the
Galesville grade by- one inch of snow,
and the wood and water gave out be
fore the locomotive could pull to the
ton. At length they got out the neigh
bors, yoked four pairs of oxen to the
train, and drew it, passengers, bag
gage and all, into Meriden with flying
colors! .
Hero of Forest Fire Retired.
"Jim" Root, oldest engineer on the
Northern Pacific railway system, has
been, laid off, but, although he has
ceased to work, he will continue to
draw his pay as if he was running an
engine. He is now 73 years old.
' Root won fame for his heroic deed
in saving the passengers on his train
from being roasted alive when they
were caught at Hinckley, Wis., in a
forest fire five years ago. He was
running a train between Duluth and
St. Paul. He ran his engine to Hicck
.ley, which was found to be in ashes
'Suddenly the wind fanned the forest
'fires and the train was surrounded
'by flames. Root stuck to his throttle
while the fireman dipped water from
the engine's tank and threw it on him
and on the cab to keep them from
burning.
The smoke was suffocating and the
heat terrific, but the members of the
crew stayed at their posts until the
train reached Skunk creek, where all
escaped to the water and were savtd,
LEFT HANGING OVER RAVINE
A recent cloudburst near Telluride,
Col., swept all the supporting work of
these tracks away, leaving the rails
and ties suspended over a deep gulch.
Nearly 200 feet of track was thus left
suspended, and only the timely dis
covery of ' the washout prevented a
Denver & Rio Grande railroad train
from running into the gulch. Popular

NO SMASHUPS IN HOLLAND.
Only One Passenger Was Killed Dur
ing Past Year.
Recently I read in an English news
paper a statement that there' had been
but one passenger killed on the rail
roads of Holland during the past fiscal
year, and the paper, commenting on
this fact, suggested that American rail
roads would find in this example some
thing to emulate. It is easy enough
to understand how the mortality from
accidents would be comparatively
small in Holland after one travels
upon some of the trains in that coun
try, for they are exasperatingly slow,
and the people do not seem to be im
bued with the American desire to get
to their destination quickly, no matter
what the cost.
Yet there are other considerations
besides slow speed which must be
borne in mind in determining the rea
sons why railroad travel is so much
safer in Holland than in America, the
excellence of roadbed, equipment and
management being prime factors. The
cars used on the Dutch railroads are
practically the same as those found
elsewhere in Europe, and for short
journeys are very comfortable, and
are characterized by the same scrupu
lous cleanliness which is found fn
everything in that carefully groomed
country.
WED IN. RAILROAD STATION.
Judge Was Summoned, by Telegraph
and Travelers Witnessed Rite.
Arthur Henry Bennett of 1941 Mas
sachusetts avenue, Boston, was in
Hackensack, N. J., and sent to Judge
Sam Engler, of Hoboken, a telegram
that read:
'Can you marry us in the Lacka
wanna station this afternoon? If so,
meet us there at five o'clock. Carry a
handkerchief in your left hand."
The judge didnt know whether he
was being kidded or not, but with a
copy of the marriage form pasted in
a copy of "David Copperfield," he went
to the station. He saw a shy-looking
pair and immediately took out his
handkerchief. The man came over
and introduced himself and then pre
sented the girl, who, the man said,
was Miss Irene Messner, of Maywood,
Bergen county, N. J.
The judge found a man and his wife
who were waiting for a train to Buf
falo and got them to witness the per
formance of the rite. When it was all
over the couple took a ferryboat for
New York, saying they were going to
Boston, where Bennett is a civil en
gineer.
. Steel Passenger Coaches.
Steel passenger coaches on the rail
roads in this section are no longer the
rarity they were 12 months ago. They
are to be seen by the score daily.
During the past summer all steel cars
have formed the largest portion of
some of the shore trains on the Penn
sylvania, and on the same road there
is scarcely a through train which is
made up in part of day coaches that
has not one or more steel cars at
tached. On the exterior they have
not quite the smooth finished appear
ance of a coach made of hardwood
panels. The rivets are seen where the
steel plates overlap, yet unless atten
tion is called to them they are apt to
pass unnoticed. In their interiors
they are plain, but very neat and com
fortable; they run smoothly, ride, easi
ly, make no more noise than the ordit
nary coach and they impart to the
passengers a sense of security that
makes them very popular. They
may be heavier than wooden coaches,
but the traveling public has no inter
est in that except as it may afford
them better protection In case of acci
dent. But it is hoped the accident will
be very long in coming. Newark

Press Clothes on Train.

For Sleepy Travelers.
A French' engineer, M. Edouard
Cros, has submitted to the French rail
road companies an invention designed
to relieve drowsy travelers of the
fear of being carried past their des
tination. The iavention consists of a
slip of paper on which is a dial. The
passenger writes his destination on
the slip, marks the time he is due on
the dial, and attaches the paper to a
part of the carriage where it can be
easily seen by the railroad servants,
whose duty it will be to tell the trav
eler when he has arrived.

The chief object of the work of the
Child Saving Institute is to save and
protect destitute and helpless chil

men and women of Omaha. Such an
Institute could not long survive in a
small community where the people
are as a rule unable to make large
contributions. Experience shows that
charitable organizations of the magni
tude and effectiveness of the Child
Saving Institute can subsist only In
large population centers, -where, of
course, there is the greatest need of
Its kind offices. In the absence of
such organization In the small towns
dependent children must be takers .
Into the homes of benevolent men and
women who thus assume the burden -for
the community and in some cases
these good people can ill afford to do
so. In every town and village there
are examples of this work of humani
ty, so that everybody has come to
know and to realise the absolute
necessity for providing same system
atic mean's of caring for- unfortunate
children. This is why well-to-acT
people In the country towns express a

this kind the Institute not only re

children a systematic, efficient means
