The total wheat crop of western Canada in 1901 was oC.'Gd.oMJ bushels, or an average of 17 buthels.to the acre. Cut it is possible to find something much more interesting than official statistics to prove that western Canada is really tho most wonderful wheat country in the world. A recently issued pamphlet shows that eighteeu wheat farmers, living near Indian Head, As- tiniboia, have, in sixteen years, increased their juitit worUPy wealth from $J0,'JO0 to $rai.0sH3. These farmers report an average crop of about tliirty- onc bushels to the acre during that time, on summer fallow, and about twenty-one bushels to the acre on stubble.

It is nothing new in mining cam* b xx Inch have suddenly, by the very face ol their richness,- sprung into existence and become populated thickly before sanitary arrangements were perfected. The same condition prevailed in Dawson, in Nome, in the Coeur d' Alenes, in Ibmdsburg and in every "rush"' mining camp in the world. That is one of the conditions which confront a nexv mining camp.

The reports of deaths have been wonderfully exaggerated anyhow. The mine, aro all working and the miner.* are all xx*ell. The bears of the stock market are those who have profited by the scare and they are the ones who sent out tho cry of "plague".

THE GREAT WEST.. I The progress ot the Canadian west this year is evidenced by tlie iiiunens • suiiount of activity in nultvay building and Improvements..'" The Canadian Pacific Will doubletrack the 420 miles between Winnipeg and Fort William, on Lake Superior. The same company will htiilcl several hundred miles of new lines on its various branches this year and is spending large sums on improvements of the permanent way. The Grand Trunk railway has not begun any actual construction work, but it is said that arrangements arc making to put,45.000 men at u'ork as soon us tlie company's plans are 111a- "lureu. J°___The Canadian Northern railway is rushing ils main line on to I'dinonlon, besides devoling much attention to branch lines. It has just established thru train service on its main line from Winnipeg to the elbow on thc North Saskatchewan river. This , company has 1,950 miles of 1 rack west of I-alee Superior, In addition to this extension, it is planning large terminal improvements in Winnipeg, which will probably be worked out in association with the Grand Trunk Pacific. In building new lines the Canadian Northern has lo cross the Saskatchewan river, north or south, five limes.. The five necessary bridges are of steel and masonry, and will cost the company $1,500,000. On the main line llie first crossing is that of the South Saskatchewan, fifteen miles from the flourishing city of Saskatoon and 485 miles from Winnipeg. The main line next crosses the North Saskatchewan river 514 miles vrest of Winnipeg. At a point 577 miles west .of"Winnipeg, lhe main line again crosses the North Saskatchewan; again at Fort Saskatchewan, 811 miles west of Winnipeg, the North Saskatchewan is crossed, On the Prince Albert extension thu South Saskatchewan river is crossed at a point 525 miles from, Winnipeg and sixteen miles southeast of Prince Albert. The extensive railway building planned tor. this season and the following seasons is the salvation ofthe country. Immigrants are flocking in in such numbers from the Stales and I.urope that it would be absolutely impossible to provide them wilh markets for their pi'OuUCts ,'f iiiuusaiids of miles of uev\\ railway line were not built. The indications are that the wheat a- creagc alone of western Canada this year.wiir.be about 4,500,000 acres With fair luck this will give a crop of almost 100,000,000 bushels, nearly twice as much as was raised last year. When tin-other crops, to say nothing of (he cattle, of this .country, wilh ils vast distances, are considered, it is plaiiii iliiit lhe railroads have a tremendous problem to deal wilh. The iinmigratiun this year from the Stales seems 10 be larger than evei. A curious feature is lhat many of ihe new settlers come from as far south as Texas and Oklahoma The other day a party of settlers from Texas arrived at Kdnionion, ;'5o miles north of ihe boundary i.i Alherla. Alherla is proving very pop ilar with settlers who desire irrigation, cattle raising and mixed'farming, The first and second of these flourish in southern Alberta, and lhe second and third !n northern Alberta. All the towns and. cities of Albert'1 are profiling-fr.im the" influx of immigration. Among them are Red Deer, Panoka, Innisl.-i.il,'Olds, Airuric, Naiiiiiii, High River and s^lar- esholm. All are in a prosperous agricultural country, and there are splendid openings for commercial and industrial enterprises as well as for farming in the surrounding country.

Mann of Chicago, was in the chair the other afternoon, when Congressman Robert* Baker of New York, was declaiming vigorously on the horrors of the Russian situation, "Words fail me, Mr. Speaker," exclaimed the orator, "words fail me." "Well, its all the samo," said thc presiding officer, .calmly, "thc gentleman's time has expired anyhow." • » # In southern China the air is so lu - mid in summer that, despite Ihe intense heat clothes cannot be dried in thc open uir. The first J.inane-sc newspaper was , published in 1863, only 4*1 years ngo. To-day Japan has 1,500 daily papers and periodicals. The water is so clear in the fiords of Norway that objects an inch and a half in diameter can be distinctly seen at a depth of 150 feet. An old negro died iu Kansss not long ago, and as he.belonged to no church or society, three or four negroes volunteered to bury him, and they were iho only followers in his ln-.ii*. After the coffin had been lowered into the grave, all seemed to feci that something ought ti) he said. They appealed to lhe oldest man present, who delivered the following: "Brother, you is gone, hut we hope you is better off than we think you is." * * . * Logic sometimes triumphs over dog- r,;.i, as illusir-ted in ih* raw. of a little girl who had been brought up a belicv in Christian Science. She was visiting ber aunt, a non-believer, and in the course of thc afternoon fell down stairs, whereupon she began to cry lustily. "Are you hurt, dear?" inquired the aunt. ''No," was thc sobbing response. "Then," s-itJ the aunt, nol without a touch of wicked enjoyment, "why do JJyou cry?" "I'm crying," was the reply, "because I can't feel that I ain't hurt." * * * Tlie American entertainer known as Malini recently performed some of bi> tricks before a gathering which included lhe Queen. At the clo-ae, one of tlu* visitors asked Malini lo (ell him how much money he had in his pockets. "That is easily done" replied the magician. To allow of no deception, Malini was blindfolded, and at bis request the visitor placed all the money on the table in full view of the •spectators. There was a dead silence for a few seconds. '.'You are Mire il i«. all on the table?" "Quite sure." "Then uir, you have no money in your, pock- rts." No one enjoyed this simple joke more than the Queen, who had eh ifleil the "victim" on his tcmpoiarv poverty. A Canadian named Casey was appointed to a'government place. ...Technically it had tit be held by a lawyer, which Casey was not. The Henchcrs of ihe Law Society, however, undertook to obviate the technicality. "Well, Casey," said the examiner, "what do you know about law, anyway?" "To tell the truth," replied the candidate, "1 don't know a single thing." The examiner reported in his affidavit "lhat he had examined Mr Casey as to his knowledge o'f llie law; and, to tlio besl of his information and belief, he had answered the questions that he had put to him correcilv." The aspirant was thereupon admitted. * ♦ *- '" Robert Mantell says the hew press agent of a dime museum went home widi a glass eater lo spend the nighl. Both were overjoyous and made a great ado in opening the door. As they scraped over the key-hole a window was raised on the floor above and a whiskered person reviled ih'a-m in terms that would have been pungent in sheol. The press agent was there with a line cf fancy invective himself, and he cut loose with one of those scorching phases from which there is no adequate come-back from any male. "Nix, cull, cheese!" cried the glass eater in alarm. "That's my wife—the bearded lady." . * * * ,A professor in an agricultural college had a hobby. Ho believed and preached on all occasions that the foaid of "animals should be cooked, just like tbat of human beings. One day, while out driving in thc country, he passed a farm the owner of which was standing in , a pen near the road feeding-to a drove of swine generous quantities of corn in linear.'.'This caused the learned theorist to stop and forthwith hail thc ..violator of his theory: "My friend, don't you know that it is wrong to give, those hogs feed that has not been cooked? Don't you know that if vou would co.k that grain before issuing it they would digest it in just one-half the time it takes them as it is now eaten?"
