fr IglJft. EXCELLENT TRADE IN WESTERN CANADA SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES, AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE. Throughout all of Canada, and espe cially in the Western Provinces of Canada, there Is a buoyancy in every line of business that is fully war ranted by every condition. The crops of the past year were what was ex pected, and the prices for grain of all kinds, put the fanners in a class by themselves. Many of them are inde pendent, and many others have got well started on the road. The latest reports are that seeding is well under way in almost every district, and the prospects are that a vastly larger area than that under crop last year will be seeded early this spring. In the Lethorldge district, in Southern Al berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hun dreds of them, are bn-aking up th prairie at a tremendous pace, but hey work night and d:sy. As soon as St becomes dark, gangs are changed, a head light attached, md ou, on through the night until the first otreak of dawn, these giant monsters with their seven or eight gangs of breaking plows, keep up the work. Then the more modest farm.-r is put ting in the longest hours possible with bis teams of horses or oxen. Ami what will the Country be like in Au gust, when these iielJs haw become yellowed with the literally golden grain. There will oe one vast ex panse of wheat lieM. And there win be a market for ir. because it is the best grain grown, and the demand will be everywhere. As previously in timated business throughout Western Canada is sound and good. The grain production of 1909 has been the great factor in establishing the reputation of Western Canada, and it is worth talking about. It surpassed all previ ous records, both in regard to quality and quantity, and such an achieve ment was by no means easy. The limit has not been reached, and a large average increase may be ex pected during the next ten years. There will be odd seasons when a lalling-off will occur, and it is the fall-Ing-oIT that causes alarms and panics In the commercial world. The plains have done their duty so far in the out-put of grain and it would je rea sonable to make occasional allowances tor slowing-up. The faster the rate or Increaso is now, the sharper will bo the check when the production dimin ishes. But there are some unreason able people who wonder why tha growth of one year is not continued during the next, and at an even faster rate. These same unreasonable peo ple are the ones who see Haws in the situation as soon as an indication is given that the startling advances have not been maintained. Good Work in Denmark. Under legislation enacted In 1905 the Danish government pays three fourths of the expenses of all poor persons who desire to be treated in tuberculosis sanatoria. When the hos pitals under construction are com pleted Denmark will have one bed la tuberculosis hospitals or sanatoria for eery 1.200 inhabitants, a fact which will mean that the length of treat ment can be considerably extended tu the United States there is one bed for every 4,f00 inhabitants. A Mean Scheme. "Is your wife home?" "Yes; I got tired of having her away." "But I thought she intended staying four months?" "She did. I got the office boy to write on a card: 'Better come home.

"I was brought to th'nk of the sub ject by getting some Postum and this brought me out of trouble. "It is a most appetizing and Invig orating beverage and has been of euch great benefit to me that I natu rally speak of it irom time to time as opportunity offers. "A lady friend complained to me that she had tried Postum. but it did not taste good. In reply to ray ques tion she said she guesed she boiled it about ten minutes.

"Mr. Hallinger." said Mr. Garfield, "believed that the existing locations in Alaska should be permitted to con solidate up to four sections." "Would the Cunningham claims come under Mr. Ballinger's proposed amendment?" asked Representativn Graham. 'They would." replied the witness. Mr. Garfield said Ballinger met him at his home in Ohio on September 17, 130S. and presented to him the Cun ningham affidavit "I told him," said Mr. Garfield, "that the information the department had from the Glavis report on the Cun ningham journal satisfied me the claims were illegal."

The opinion was written by Judge Barnes, Judge Sedgwick dissents. The court says: "A drainage district organized under the provisions of art. 4. ch. S9, Comp. Stat 1909, is a public and not a pri vate corporation. Neal vs. Vansickel. 72 Neb. 109. "The r revisions of sec. 19, ch. 4. ch. S9 of the compiled statutes 1909. au thorizing the assessment by a drain age district of benefits accruing to a highway within the district from the drainage improvement are not in con flict with sec. 2. art. S, of the constitu tion exempting property cf the state and county from taxation; nor are such provisions in conflict with sec. G, an. 9 or the constitution vesting the corporate authorities of cities, towns and villages with power to make local improvements by special taxation or assessments, against the property benefiited. "The provision of sec. 6 of the bill of rights which declares that "he right of trial by jury shall remain in violate.' has no application to judicial iroceedings concerning the amount or legality of special assessments for benefits to highways within a drainage district. "The title of art. 4, ch. S9. Comp. Stat. 1909. is sufficiently comprehen sive to include the assessment of pub lic highways for benefits accruing from a public drainage improvement.

For some reason unknown the county has been slow about the work of construction and consequently slow about delivering the bonds and receiving money from the state. The state treasurer must keep sufficient money on hand to keep pace with the cost of the construction and for this reason he is holding money in the treasury with which to take up the bonds as they are pre sented. Just before the close of March the county commissioners delivered $50,000 of bonds to the state and re ceived payment in accordance with" the bid of thc state for the $SOO.00O Issue. Clerk H. C. Lindsay of the supreme court has filed his quarterly report of fees received for the three months be ginning January 1. and ending April 1.

ENGINEER KURD'S REPORT Physical Value of Railroads as Shown for a Period Covering Three Months. So far twenty applications have been filed for places as principals ol the three normal schools Peru, Chadron and Wayne. The Chadroa school is yet to be constructed and Die Wayne school will not be con ducted by the state until an appro priation for its maintenance has been nmde by the legislature. It is pos Gihle, however, that the committee on teachers will make its recommen dations to the State Normal board at its next meeting of Bishop, chairman; ShcUhorn and McDonald. ... A. Iteattie of Lincoln, Unitea States Commissioner of Columbus and William R. Jackson of UuiversLy Place have applied for the position ol head of the school at Wayne, while D. W. Hayes of Alliance, a former member of the State Normal boara. end S. R. Martin of SL Paul have applied for the place at Chadron. In asmuch as Professor Hayes of Alli ance has served on the State Normal board with the present membership, having been succeeded recently by Mr. Tooley of Custer county, appointea by Governor Shallenberger, it is a good guess to say he will be selected for the Chadron school. The other applicants did not signify their choice of schools. Values of Railroad 'Property. R. C.

State Fair Attractions. The I-omhardo Symphony band of forty-fo;ir pieces and an opera com pany of twenty-four voices have been scured by Secretary Mellor for the next state fair. Negotiations are still pending for a series of aeroplane flights, the price asked by the Wrights being considerd too high. The week's flight would cost $10,000 if the Wrights were to be given the con tract. Secretary Mellor has written to Glen Curtiss to find out on what terms he can be secured. It is be lieved that $5,000 is about as high as the state board will go for a week's aeroplaniug. No Increased Assessment. The appeal of the Bankers Life, the Western Fire and the Farmers' and Merchants' Insurance companies from an increase in assessment in Lancaster county has been -sustained. Addison Wait Candidate. Addison Wait, deputy secretary of state, has formally announced his candidacy for the republican nomina tion for secretary of state. To Kill Dandelions.
