GEYSER JUDITH BASIN TIMES INEST[1111 CANADA AND THE I AND-IIUNGIIY It Is Essentially an Agricultural Country. 14 Western Canada Is the Mecca of the land -hungry man who wishes to earn good living from the soil and save up money to take care of him in his old age without paying a fancy price for the privilege. Western Canada is the great wheat producing section of the North Amer- ican continent, with an average pro- duction of more than 30 bushels to the acre as compared with an average of 17 bushels to the acre in the States. Wheat raising can hardly be made profitable on land that costs from $30 an acre up unless such land will pro- duce a much higher than a 17 bushel average, or unless the price of the cereal reaches an excessive figure. The Initial investment of $30 an acre Is more than the average man can af- ford to make If he expects to raise wheat and to make a success of It. A good homestead of 160 acres can still be secured free in Western Can- ada and additional land admirably suited to the raising of wheat can be secured at so low a cost per acre that it can be made extremely profitable. No other part of the world offers such tremendous opportunities at the present time to the ambitious young farmer as the three great provInes of Western Canada. It is worth the while of the land - hungry man to cease his depressing search for local cheap land or for land that is not entirely worked out by long cropping and to look outside his own district. NVestern Canada is a country that should receive the con- sideration of all such men. The West- ern Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche- wan and Alberta are essentially agri- cultural territory. Out of 478 million acres there are 180 million acres of first-class agricul- tural land actually available for de- velopment -a block three and a half times as large as the total land area of Minnesota, and equal to the combined land areas oThitilleSeta, Iowa, NViscon- sin, Illinois and Indiaa But whereas the population of the five states mentioned is fifteen million people, the population of NVestern Canada is only about one and three- quarter millions. It has been said that the average yield per acre of wheat in the United States last year was 17 bushels. This average does not, of course, represent the efficiency which may have been reached by individual farmers or by Individual states. However, place against this figure the fact that the 1915 Western Canadian average -the average from nearly twelve million acres -was over 30 bushels. In the case of the Province of Alberta, the average reached 32.84 bushels per acre. There are already a large number of American farmers in NYestern Canada, so that the newcomer could never - overlooking the fact that the same language is spoken -feel himself In an ellen country. There seems, in fact. a tendency to establish little colonies composed of those coming from the same sections. The characteristics of the country, and the climate and season, are very much the same as in Minnesota or North Dakota. Social conditions bear a family 11`tiq 'In Mance. Education is free, and is rein]; its cost being defrayed partly by taxation. liartly by grants fromthe Canadian .Siovernment, from the sales of school lanls,n e f e which, when the country was first surveyed, two section's In every township were allocated. Taxation in every rural district, in many towns and cities, is based practically on land values alone, improvements of all kinds being exempted.-Ativertisement. sre '- Did as He Was told. \Do you know,\ said Reggie. con- fidently, \I never had played a game of golf In my life, and when I asked the old Scotchman what was the first thing for me to do, lieslooked at me just like this and said: 'Hoot men.'\ \Then what did you do?\ \Why I hooted, of course.\ For sores, apply Hanford's Balsam lightly.

REPORTS BIG INCREASE IN MONTANA'S WEALTH State Examiner Finds Thirty-seven Per Cent of Capital in Banks In Reserve -Big Gain In Year. Butte. -Montana's financial condi- tion is excellent, according to H. S. Magraw, state bank examiner, who was in Butte while on a return trip to the capital, after examining the bank at Wisdom with A. T. Hibbard, his assistant. The bankers of Montana have a very high percentage of their capital in reserve. The state requires that they have 15 per cent, and the examinations in May gave an average of 37.7 per cent. This is the result of a conservative policy followed by the banks in this state. The percentage of reserve is higher than it has been since Mr. Magraw went Into office sev- eral years ago. The percentage of the ddeeeits. has ellynia been 28 er cell& Of the carCal in Montana banks. The .deposits of the state banks in- creased $4,000,000 between the March and May calls of the bank examiner's office, sent out to determine the stand- ing of the various Institutions, Mr. Ma- graw said. He sided that such a condi- tion was a new one for the banks of Montana, as they did not gain in the posits before to such an extent. The increase for the year is close to $21,000,000, which is another sign of the growing wealth of the state. MAKES FIRST ANNUAL REPORT TO GOVERNOR State Accident Board Submits Figures For Year Showing 1,518 Employers Under Compensation Law. Helena. -The first full year of the operation of the workmen's compensa- tion lave closed June 30, and the state industrial accident board, which has the carrying out of the provisions of the law, has merle a report to Governor Stewart. The report shows that dins lag the year 1,518 employers elected to come under the law, bringing with them 43,769 employes (as reported for the year 1914, now fully 60,000). Dur- ing this time there has been paid out in compensation, medical and hospi- tal fees $293,399, which has gone to 6,802 injured emplOYes in payment of compensation on account of loss of earning power and to beneficiaries and dependents who have received com- pensation due to the accideptnl death of husbands and sons. The pending claims will aggregate about making a total liability for the 12 months of $38S,505.70. TWO NEW ROADS FOR SIDNEY G. N. Has Men at Work -Soo Making Preparations. Billtegs.-The Great Northern has several hundred men at work on its extension of the socalled Sidney line. from Lambert to Richey. Steam shov- els and caterpillar engines are being used. Reports from - Sidney state that the Soo, too, is making preparations to build into that place. The probable route to be followed will be from Plaza to a point on the Little Slissouri. Such a line would tap a rich district be- tween the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pant sur- veyors are decheckiner, the survey be- tween tVinnett and Grass Point. The force is divided Into three crews, and Gila activity indicates a purpose to have the line constructed in time to handle the late fall trade. Vie line is very practicable, involving no serious grades or heavy construction work.
