The Manitoba Wheat Crop. The government crop hulletin for the middle of August, probably the most impoitant of the year, was issued last Saturday. The' estimated yield is 21,284,274 bushels of wheat; the barley yield is given as 3,(114,10$ bushels, and oats total 12..">17,112 bushels. This yield of.'wheat at over $1 a bushel���������or 38 cents? per busliel over what it was a year ago���������will he a splendid thing I'or the farmers ji'iiel advance the general trade of the country.' What the'harvest means to the farmer is figured out by the Globe as follows: The estimates of the wheat production in '.Manitoba this season range round 21,000,000 bushels, or 6,<XK>,000 more than in m With I hi* incie.'ise,', if wheat \loes not advance any =ore than it has already, it, would, mean $o,l(X).(KX) in the pockets of Manitoba farmers for the increased production expected this year, while for the . balance of t he crop of lS.OOfl.OOO bushels,' with I he present advance over last year they would receive .^(i.SlO.fXXJ more than in ISiXJ, making a total of $11,1)10',- (XX) more money foi the .Manitoba .wheat crop this year, than last year. Iu Ontario the price of wheat being ������i cents' per busliel higher than a year ago it. might. ,be figured out that on 20,(XX),(XX) bushels of. sound "wheat, which is a low estimate, the farmeis of this piovince would receive $."),0(X',- fXXJ more for Iiheir wheat, than for the 'Oft crop. This makes a total of, $10,- !M0, (XX) increase iu the value of, the wheat crop of Manitoba and Ontario over last. year, owing to the increased production and tlie'eiih.inced value of the cereal.

ROUT LAKE CITY is reached bv rail from Revelstoke to , Arrowhead. 28 miles ; thence bv steamer, 10 miles, to Thorn- son's handing-; and a short stage of 1 2 miles ; the entire journey occupying only 6 hours through magnificent mountain and lake scenerv. - Well-known mining promoters and capitalists already have their- representatives on the ground, and it is no boomer's dream to say that before another six months Trout L.\Ki-:_Crrv will be a bustling centre of business and the principal town in this treasure-laden Lardeau, the new centre of attraction for the best mining enterprise, skill and.' capital which ' British ' Columbia has magnetized within her borders. ' The climate and'soil of the ^district are all that could be desired by the rancher, gardener or fruit grower for whose products' a profitable and rapidly increasing market exists ; whilst to the sportsmen the neighborhood affords game in plenty. The accommodation includes igood hotels, stores, post office, recording office, butcher shop and many.private residences. Building operations are in full progress, and the establishment of the sawmill will tend still more to enhance the immediate growth of this rising town. liliA NO'//A'.S TX OXTAIUO : Kssux, '''ci'^'iis, fiiill.

Title | Kootenay Mail |
Publisher | Revelstoke, B.C. : Atkins and Smith |
Date Issued | 1897-08-28 |
Description | The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review. |
