Judge Brewster cae forward and cleared bs throat as f prelnary to soethng Iportant he had to say. Addressng the banker, he sad boldly: "Mr. Jeffres, I have decded to undertake Howard's defense." Hs arstocratc clent was taken copletely by surprse. For a oent he could say nothng, but sply stared at the lawyer as f unable to beleve hs ears. Wth an effort, he at last exclaed: "Indeed! then you wll please consder our busness relatons to have ceased fro ths oent." The lawyer bowed. "As you please," he sad suavely. The banker turned to hs wfe. "Alca coe." He offered hs ar and turned toward the door. Alca, n dstress, looked beck at Anne, who nodded reassurngly to her. Judge Brewster rose and, gong to the door, opened t. The banker bowed stffly and sad: "Pray don't trouble. Good ornng, sr." As Alca followed her husband out, she turned and whspered to Anne: "Coe and see e at y hoe." When she had dsappeared the judge cae back nto the roo and sat down at hs desk. "Well, that's done!" he exclaed wth a sgh of relef. Ruagng for a oent aong hs papers, he looked up and sad wth an encouragng sle: "Now, f you please, we wll go over that evdence bt by bt" Meante he hself had not been Idle.

But now tktf one Iportant wtness, the ysterous woan who was In the apartent a few nutes before the shootng and who was n possesson of a letter n whch Underwood declared hs ntenton of shootng hjself. doubt was no longer possble. Acquttal was a foregone concluson. So pleased was the Judge at Anne's fnd woan's nae. He saw that Anne preferred, for soe reason, not to gve jt even td her legal advser and,he let her have her way, exactng only that the woan should be produced the Instant he needed her. The young woan readly assented. Of course, there reaned the "confesson," but that had been obtaned unfarly, llegally, fraudulently. The next portant step was to arrange a eetng at the judge's house at whch Dr. Bernsten, the hypnotc expert, would be present and to whch should be nvted both Capt Clnton and Howard's father. In front of all these wtnesses the judge would accuse the polce captan of browbeatng hs prsoner nto akng an.untrue confesson. Perhaps the captan could be argued nto adttng the possblty of a stake havng been ade. If, further, he could be convnced of the exstence of docuentary evdence showng that Underwood really cotted sucde he ght be wllng to recede fro hla poston n order to protect hself. At any rate It was worth tryng. The judge nssted, also, that to ths eetng the ysterous woan wtness should also coe, to be produced at such a oent as the lawyer ght consder opportune. Anne erely deanded a few hours' te so she could ake the appontent and soon re* turned wth a solen prose that the woan would attend the eetng and coe forward at whatever oent called upon. Three evenngs later there was an Ipressve gatherng at Judge Brew-" ster's resdence. In the handsoely apponted lbrary on the second floor were seated Dr. Bernsten, Mr. Jeffres and the judge. Each was absorbed n hs own thoughts. Dr. Bernsteln was puffng at a bg black: cgar; the banker stared vacantly Into space. The judge, at hs desk, exaned soe legal papers. Not a word was spoken. They seeed to be watng for u fourth an who had not yet arrved. Presently Judge Brewster looked up and sad: "Gentleen, I expect Capt/ Clnton In a few nutes, and the atter wll ho plaor hqfnrft ynn " Mr. Jeffres frowned. It was greatly aganst hs wsh that he had been dragged to ths conference. Peevshly, he sad: "I've no wsh to be present at the eetng. You know that and yet you sent for e." Judge Brewster looked up at h quckly and sad quetly yet decsvely: "Mr. Jeffres, t s absolutely necessary that you bo present when I tell Capt. Clnton that he has ether wllfully or gnorantly forced your son to confess to havng cotted 8 cre of whch I a persuaded he s absolutely nnocent." The banker shrugged hs shoulders. "If I can be of servce, of course, I I a only too glad but what can I say what can I do?" "Nothng," repled the Judge curtly. "But the oral effect of your presence s nvaluable." More aably he went ou: "Beleve e, Jeffres, I wouldn't have taken ths step unless I was absolutely sure of y poston. I have been nfored that Underwood cotted sucde, and to-nght evdence confrng ths stateent s to be placed n y hands. The woan who pad h that ysterous vst just before hs death has prosed to coe here and tell us what she knows. Now, f Capt. Clnton can be got to adt the possblty of hs beng staken It eans that your son wll be free In a few days." "Who has gven you ths Inforaton?" deanded the banker skeptcally. "Howard's wfe," answered the Judge quetly. The banker started and the lawyer went on: "She knows who the woan s, and has prosed to brng her here to-nght wth docuentary proof of Underwood's sucde." "You are dependng on her?" he sneered. "Why not?" deanded the judge. "She has ore at stake than any of us. She has worked day and nght on ths case. It was she who aroused Dr/ Bernsten's nterest and persuaded h to collect the evdence aganst Capt. Clnton?' The banker frowned. " he s the cause of the whole serable busness," he growled. The door opened and the butler, enterng, handed hs aster a card. "Ah!" ejaculated the judge. "Here's our an! Show h up."

We have been laborng In season and out of season to Induce farers to buld slos. The slo s no longer an experent. It has been used by daryen wth success for thrty years. It was for a long te supposed that It could only be used n daryng, says the Wallace Farer. We have found out now that t s alost as valuable to the an who grows stock as to the an who lks cows. We are fndng out that slage very"aterally decreases the cost of puttng a pound of beef onto a feedng steer. We have found out that It s good for the ewe, for the brood sows, and for young stock of all knds as well as for dary cattle. The only anal on the place to whch t Is not safe to feed It s the horse; Just why we do not know. It Is perhaps entrely safe f of good qualty, but dangerous f oldy. We are fndng out stll ore about slage, naely, that by usng a suer slo, one about half the sze of the wnter one, we can brdge over the droughts, whch coe n every coun- close confneent and y oppressos* barng resolved to deprve e of property or lfe.

Suppose you cannot fll one an's slo before t la dry; you can easly reedy that by puttng n water. We have done t and t works fnely. You can even take the corn that stands n the feld ready for huskng and ake good slage out of It.f you put la water enough; or you can plant soa sorghu and corn, and let the abundance of osture n the sorghu, ake for the defcency n the corn. All these thngs are worth thnkng about. What we want to lorpress upon your nds just now s that you cannot afford not to buld a slo f you are n the stock busness. You can no ore do wthout a anure spread* er or a gran drll. There are soa thngs that are well aettled over ost of our terrtory.

We are fndng out that by havng a suer slo we can provde pasture out of the slo untl the rans coe n the fall Soe of the readers ay shake ther heads at ths, but we are tellng the agrcultural gospel truth. They ay say: Whle we often have these dry perods n July and August, we do not always have the. Soe years we have excellent pastures. True, but your slage wll keep alost as well aa the frut your wfe keepa over fro a year of abundance to a year of want. Last year we fed on one of the fars belongng to the Wallace faly slage that waa two years old. Apparently It was just aa good as the year It was ade. / Why do we talk about t now? Because, f you are gong to have a slo ths fall for ether wnter or suer use, you ought to be thnkng about t; not about the buldng of t or the cost of t, although t s Vv'orthy of thought, but whrre you v.fll plant your corn to necesstate the least haulng and dnsh the expense; about. what knd of slage you want, whether rch wth corn or scant n corn. You can deterne that by the thckness of plantng. If you want slage rch n corn to fatten steers, you want to plant t aa you do for the arket for the axu of ears; but f you want t to feed to the dary cows and want a large yeld of stock wth sall gran yeld, you ust plant It thck.

HB quet of the breakfast roo was dsturbed only by the subdued rustle of the paper n West's hands and the purrng of the coffee achne by hs wfe's elbow. Frownng slghtly n her preoccupaton, the woan rearked the slence, and passed t over; t was a part of her dally lfe had been a part of t ever snce, ten years before, the curtan had fallen upon ther honeyoon. She was accustoed to say that for ten hours of the day, fro eght n the ornng to sx n the evenng To West was a ere oney-akng acjdxe, wjth no end n lfe save the anpulaton of the arket, no concepton of anythng n the world save bank and ralway stateents, dvdends, tckers and the ebb and flow of prces. Afterwards, fro 6 p.. to 8 a.., he was a noral huan beng wth alost huan nterests, ncludng a wfe. Theren she dd West justce, and soe njustce. In pont of fact, the an adored hs wfe after busness hours. But It was ost true that he forgot her copletely throughout the Wall street workng day. And to that, perhaps, ay be attrbuted hs rearkable success to the absolute concentraton of all hs facultes upon the atter n hand; whch generally conssted n the "bearng" of soe securty whch other en adred, but whch West looked upon wth the jaundced eye of the skeptc confred n hs pesss so far as stock values were, concerned. As for hs wfe, for the.te beng her thoughts as well as her sl whte fngers- were bused about the tall copper 'pot n whcn tne coffee brewed. Now, wth a lttle nod of satsfacton, she placed the extngusher over the flae of the alcohol lap, and glanced tentatvely toward her husband, as though fearful of dsturbng h. Of West, only hs fngers were vsble: rcugh-hewn, blunt, heavy fngers that conveyed a dstnct presson of the an'a character, as the world saw t. They grpped alost fercely the edges - of the ornng paper, whch he held outspread so as thoroughly to curtan hself fro hs wfe's gaze. Iehnd t he antaned an unbroken slence; hs bg, broad brow thrust forward aggressvely, hs lps set and tense, hs gray eyes farly dancng up and down the serred coluns of fgures, as he to use hs own phrase tore the heart out of the arket report. The woan gazed upon the fngers wth a tenderness glowng deep n her eyes; soehow they suggested to her very clearly the an she knew BO well -that an who the street reckoned futhless, but who she loved wth all her beng, and who loved her n return wth a devoton alost woanshafter busness hours agan, 1 In te West lowered the paper un- 1jj Its upper edge was level wth the frdge of hs nose. He stared at her sent-ndedly; the creature an yfaa assertng ts desre for refreshent, though the busness an was lost In a ponderng of en and eastwes. "Coffee ready?" he deanded, acd proptly returned hs gaze to the lst of the prevous day's transactons. J "Ready," she repled, quckly and clearly, "and watng, To." She dropped the ndspensable two lups of sugar nto West's cup, added the crea, then bred t wth the steang black lquor. As she had antcpated for she studed the an closely the sound of her voce and the str of the tableware dstracted the current of hs thoughts. Reluctantly he folded the news sheet, and lad t at the sde of hs plate, accepted the cup, and began to str the coffee wth hs spoon, onotonously, as though* he feared' -It ght lose vrtue through Inacton, eanwhle glarng at hs plate.

But West was not askng a queston to be answered, for he contnued, alost wthout a. break: "Belden found out that he wouldn't get 'e for a song yesterday," he sad, chucklng. "Bennngton Fours are sellng at fftynne, and a drug on the arket at that. But I' holdng a block on behalf of a Western syndcate, and Belden has agreed to pay e eghty /or 'e. I gave h to understand that they'd never be a cent cheaper, so he had to knuckle under, and pass e hs word to the deal." "Yes," she breathed, vaguely, not greatly nterested. West paused to swallow hs coffee, then sat back and watched the curtans bellyng n the war June "breez<r-4hat had access through the open wndow. "Tell you what," he broke out, -serously, "t was a great relef to e when I closed the transacton. I stand to get three or four hundred thousand out of t, and I need ready oney the worst way, yself. That last rse n Ontaro pnched e badly, and the banks are begnnng to fght shy of y paper." He frowned, teeterng abstractedly on two legs of hs char; then suddenly pulled out hs watch. "Hello!" he announced. "I'll have to hustle. 'By, Bess." West arose, cae around to her char, and bent over to kss hs wfe. She lfted her lps' to hs, and they were barely parted; her eyelds drooped heavly, and she sghed fantly. For the nstant ten years dropped fro ther lves; West's gaze glorfed the fr curve of her cheek, the full sweep of her bare throat; and he caught at hs breath sharply. Also he notced a lttle anxous pucker between her brows, for whch he lad the blae at the door of the oppressve weather, nor understood n the least that fear for h chlled her heart. "Look here, 'dear," he suggested, n a severely practcal tone, as he straghtened up. "Don't you thnk you'd better run up to Newport?" "And leave you here, alone, to stand the heat? No," she decded, frly. "When To West takes a vacaton, hs wfe wll, Meanwhle, nothng worres e so uch as the knowledge that you are workng too hard slavng your lfe out, dear. Be careful today, won't you for y sake?" "For no one else's, Bess," he laughed, lghtly. To dress for the evenng was an ordeal, but one to be faced wth a sle. For To lked to fnd her just so; t was good to h, when he had sloughed the cares of the day, to see her fresh, unwlted. Later, she recalled that t was whle she struggled to attre herself wth the grudged assstance of a cross ad, that she was suddenly convnced by a subtly psychc, woanly ntuton that soethng was ass, ether wth To or wth To's affars. But forebodngs such as that are sternly to be relegated to the lbo of supersttons untl the event proves ther excuse. She was at the head of the stars when the door opened and West sluped forward nto the butler's ars; crupled, enervated, crushed by the-wtherng heat.

A second later, entrely wthout warnng, West had cast the blankets asde, and was sttng bolt uprght, jabberng n a frenzy of delru.

But the woan had heard enough to enable her to grasp the stuaton very copletely She debated the atter throughout the long, dreary nght, an odd, hard lght gleang n her eyes. That ornng the arket opened fr; Net Coon was n deand at one hundred and nneteen, an advance of two ponts overnght; Bennngton Fours had dropped four ponts, to ffty-fve. Belden sled grly, as he scanned the openng prces on the tape. To hs ears the gossp of the tcker was sweet usc; everythng was gong as he had wshed. Nothng could be better, fro hs pont of vew. He drqpped the paper rbbons nto the tcker basket, and began to pace up and down the length of hs prvate offce, wth a stealthy, catlke tread, glancng fro sde to sde wth soethng furtve In hs anner. Hs hands were clasped behnd hs back, and he allowed hs head to droop as he chuckled sourly. Tausg, hs partner, read the covert truph n Belden's anner, and hself consulted the tape. He lkewse sled a broad, contented sle, as he turned away fro the basket; but a oent later he began to thnk. "Belden," he began, aggressvely. He was hs partner's precse antthess a heavy, rotund, red-faced, "pushng" type. "-. "Eh?" Belden desred to know, stoppng and facng h. Tausg tloffed hs aggressveness under that searchng scrutny. "How uch hgher are you gong to let Net go?" he nqured, wth plantve deference. "Before I decde to lqudate?" asked Belden, leerng. "Well, say one hundred and twenty-fve, Tausg. Then we can begn to unload quetly, you know and besdes, Bennngton Fours wll be down to ffty by that te." Tausg sucked uneasly at an expensve cgar. "I thought you sad you would cash n ths ornng," he defended hself, surlly. "I dd, I dd," squeaked Belden. "But thngs happen you know.

Belden's tone was expressve of extree surprse. "West's out of the runnng; we've got a clear track ahead of us." "What struck West?" Tausg's sall eyes wdened. "The sun struck West," sneered Belden. "He went away fro here rather excted yesterday afternoon. He ddn't see to thnk I had treated h prettly. I suppose he ran around and got overheated 4t's none of y busness." Belden waved a deprecatng hand, dsclang responsblty. "But he's flat on hs back, and th*. Street doesn't know why." - "U," Tausg ubled hs gratfcaton.

"Sell 'e n thousandharo lots, you know one lbt to a broker." r Taualg arose and waddled outj grnnng. Belden resued bs pacng to and fro, scowlng at the floor. Presently he stopped at the tcker agan, and reaned there, fngerng the fastflowng rbbon for several nutes, otonless as a statue. Then he scurred hastly over to hs desk and pressed a lttle other-of-pearl button on ts edge. "I want Mr. Chellborg," he snarled at the boy who answered hs suons. "Mr. Chellborg," he told one of hs confdental brokers who presently appeared, "I want you to fnd out who s buyng Bennngton Fours, and and who the devl s sellng Net Coon!" ncludng Belden and Tausg, swore aazedly to.fnd that It was worth, only one hundred and one. And then, whle ths pancky feelng held, Hollwedel, havng deftly covered through other brokers hs ten thousand shorts, suddenly proclaed wth a loud voce that he had twenty-fve thousand Net Coon to dspose of. It was as f a strong an, after a long and exhaustng run, had abruptly been set upon by an JUl-tepered person Jfc'th an ax *nd a desre for t&e strong an's lfe. Net Coon dropped lke a log Hollwedel sellng and coverng and sellng agan wth ost relentless actvty. About the New England Transt post on the Exchange floor en cae to blows n ther efforts to dspose of a stock for whch, t seeed, no one had the slghtest use n the world. Other securtes, and especally the ore weak ones, suffered proportonlately be«rase of he shock "to publc ton that soebody had sold "Net," fve hundred shares at one hundred and nneteen; and soebody else had bought "B. Fours," eghty bonds at ffty-sx. It was just half-past ten. Just at that oent an oblgng Central had establshed telephonc connecton between the uptown branch near the Waldorf-Astora of Wlla Wse & Sons, bankers and brokers, and the an, downtown, offce of the sae concern. It was a farly reputable house, one dong a large cosson - busness through several branches, soe of whch, and n partcular that one near the Waldorf, boasted a "specal custoers' roo for ladles." On the uptown end of the wre was a soewhat? excted and exctable, but experenced, young an, who acted as anager of the branch offce. He earnestly desred a word wth the head of the fr, and was presently accoodated. Just what he had to say s not of record, but hs councaton was receved wth attentve respect by Mr. Wlla Wse, who at once consulted the tcker wth an ar of alared nterest. Then he sat down and rocked n hs desk char, frownng at the celng, for the space of three nutes by the clock. After whch he suoned hs head bookkeeper and desred nforaton. "John," he Inqured, "how uch Net Coon are we carryng for our personal account?" _ He was told fve thousand shares. "I thnk," Wse edtated, after the lurk Lad departed, "that, all thngs consdered, we ay consder the rse n Net a thng of the past. We wll sell before the break coes; and whle we are about t, t ght be a good schee to lup In two or three thousand shares short." And he telephoned the board eber of the fr to that effect, usng the fr's prvate wre to the Exchange floor and carefully odulatng hs voce so that no one but the an at the other end of the wre could possbly overhear hs Instructons, Not wshng to alar the arket, and so lose the advantage of a few fractons of a pont, he wated a reasonable perod of te fully fve nutes n order to pert the board eber to execute hs orders, before advsng the custoers of the fr (confdentally, of course} to "unload on Net Coon, and sell short for a quck break." In the eante, Belden, havng vewed wth dsgust hs pet's loss of one pont on a strong arket, decded to boost the prce a trfle "to gve t a dose of tonc," as Tausg put t, In order to accoplsh hs desre, Mr. Belden cossoned soe twelve brokers who were accustoed to execute hs orders wthout "gvng up" the nae of ther prncpal, to sell Net Coon n aounts varyng fro one hundred to one thousand shares; n: all, twenty thousand. And at the sae te he nstructed an equal nuber of slarly traned traders to buy n a lke anner twenty-thousand Net Coon. Barrng untoward developents ths, transacton, by whch Belden's rght hand sold to Belden's left a practse ncknaed "washng sales by atch orders" by the Street, and ruled aganst by the governng cottee would have resulted n creatng a general Ipresson that Net Coon was very greatly desred on all hands, Unfortunately, just as ths was ntated, Messrs. Wlla Wse & Sons offered eght thousand Net Coon; so that the supply exceeded the oentary deand, and the prce Inevtably "sluped." Wthn the next ten nutes Mr. Wse's custoers, actng on hs kndly advce, duped eleven thousand two hundred shares on the floor, causng a further declne. And a td soebody unknown becae scared and decded to sell, and soebody else cae to the sae concluson, and yet another soebody caught the Infecton of dstrust; the result beng that Net Coon was quoted at one hundred thrteen. Belden and Tausg, glued to the tcker's sde by an nvncble dsay, swore and consdered ways and eans by whch they ght "peg" the prce; eanng*to fx t beyond possblty of further declnes. But before they had te to ake up ther nds.as to the wsest course to be pursued, Hollconfldence. When the bg clock n Trnty's tower booed forth the hour of three, a long, deep sgh of relef, that was alost a gasp, went up fro the nervous Street; Net Coon was a-beggng at eghty-three. In the prvate offce of Mr. Belden, of Belden & Tausg, there was gloo. The two partners were lp and unhappy, facng each other across the basket that held les and les of paper tape staped wth the detals of dsaster well-ngh rreparable. Belden's sullow faee was dark and forbddng; he kept a dogged slence whle he conned the wrtten reports of hs leutenants. Tausg, on the other hand, had lost a great deal of hs ruddy, wholesoe appearance, and he uttered eurses autoatcally. Both had forgotten, for the te beng, that there was such a securty as Bennngton Fours on the Hst. After a whle, exasperated by Belden's contnued retcence, Tausz snapped at h a queston for the hundredth te: "Who dd t?" Belden glanced at h slowly, Incurously. "How do I know?" be asked. Tausg repled by a coprehensve anathea of Thoas West and all l3 works. Belden sad, patently: "It wasn't West, I tell you; he's out of hs head." "Then who was t?" howled Tausg. "Hollwedel?" Belden shook hs bead. "Hollwedel sold no ore than half a dozen others," he answered. "Beflldes, ho'd bo afrad." I prose: to nter* sad, fantly. "If you tat X-'U go- " "No, stay!" he coanded. **Ther«soethng funny gong on, SSJSJl I pose to know what t s. Nosy, BotV wedel " Hollwedel staered.

She consdered h the last an of her acquantance who she would select to "break t gently" to anyone bereaved. And so thnkng, she rose and ade as though she would leave the two together futlely, however. "Mrs, West!" Hollwedel bowed. "Don't go, please," he added, alost pleasantly. And, "Stay wth e, dear," West seconded, n a thn, brttle voce. Perforce she yelded. She cast one plorng glance upon Hollwedel whch he faled to catch and sat down very sedately, foldng her handr-; In her lap and playng wth her weddng rng, the whle a nervous, ddent sle betrayed her nward agtaton.

"Eh?" gasped Hollwedel, He sank nto a char wth the ar of an astonshed elephant; and looked confusedly at Mrs. West.

Whte, who has charge of the Canadan, governent. Igraton offlcea 1 n the Unted States, and who has recently ade an extended trp through the provnces of Mantoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta n Western Canada. He sad that every pont he vsted he was et wth the one report, unversally good crops of wheat, oats and barley. There wll ths year be a uch ncreased acreage over last year. Many farers, who had but one hundred acres last year, have ncreased ther cultvated and seeded acreage as uch as ffty per cent. Wth the prospects as they are at present, ths wll ean fro 12 to 15 addtonal wealth to each. He saw any large felds runnng fro 300 to 1,000 acres n extent and t appeared to h that there was not an acre of ths but would yeld fro 20 to 25 or 30 bushels of wheat per acre, whle the oat prospects ght safely be estated at fro 40 to 70 bushels per acre. In all parts of the west, whether t be Mantoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, north and south, east and west, and a the dstrcts where last year there was a partal falure of crops, the condton of all gran s unversally good and claed by ost of the fanners to be fro one to two weeks n. advance of any year for the past ten or twelve years. It does not see that there was a sngle foot of the ground that was properly seeded that would not produce. There are those throughout western Canada who predct that there wll be 200,000,000 bushels of wheat rased there ths year, and f the present favorable condtons contnue, there does not see any reason why these propheses Bhould not coe true. There s yet a possblty of hot wnds reducng the quantty n soe parts, but wth the strongly rooted crops and the suffcency of precptaton that the country has already been favored wth, ths probablty s reduced to a nu. The prces of far lands at the present te are holdng steady and lands can probably stll be purchased at the prce set ths sprng, rangng Tr atf-tr*-* p*"* 1 h»t»*h *- harvested crop, such as Is expected, there s no reason why these sae lands should not be worth fro $20 to $25 per acre, wth an alost absolute assurance that by next sprng there wll stll be a further advance n prces. Mr. Whte says that these lands are as cheap at today's fgures wth the country's proven worth as they were a few years ago at half the prce when the general publc had but a vague dea of the producng qualty of western Canada lands. The land agents at the dfferent towns along the lne of ralway are very actve. A large nuber o! acres are turned over weekly to buyers fro the dfferent states n the south, where lands that produce no better are sold at fro $150 to $200 per acre. The hoestead lands are becong scarcer day by day and those who are unable to purchase, preferrng to hoestead, are drectng ther attenton to the park acres lyng n the northerly part of the central dstrcts. It has been found that whle these are soewhat ore dffcult to brng under the subjugaton of the plow, the sol! s fully as productve as n the dstrcts farther south. They possess the advantage that the ore open prare areas do not possess; that there s on these lands an open acreage of fro ffty to seventy per cent of the whole and the balance s ade up of groves of poplar of far sze, whch offer shelter for cattle, whle the grasses are of splendd strength and plentful, brngng about a ore actve stage of xed farng than can be carred on n the ore open dstrcts to the south. The egraton for the past year has been the greatest n the hstory of Canada and t la keepng up n record shape. The larger nuber of those* who wll go ths year wll be those who wll buy lands nearer the lne of ralways, preferrng to pay a lttle hgher prce for good locaton than to go back fro the lne of ralways soe 40 or 50 les to hoestead. Mr. Whte has vsted the dfferent agences throughout the Unted States and he found that the correspondence at the varous offces has largely ncreased, the nuber of callers s greater than ever.
