A 4Io3patch from Ottswa says: the farmers used to raise 40 bushels
Some interesting facts were of Spring wheat and nue they only
raised 15 per aci'o. The decrease,

exhaustion, because the same field
which now only grows 15 bushels

of Winter wheat to the acre. For

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Alberta's New Parliant'snt BuIld-
ing•:Nearly Blown Up.
A despatch from Edmonton,
Alba., says: The legislature, and
soine 150 employes on the new par-
liament buildings, had a narrow
escape from an unintended gun-
powder plot, on Wednesday. It
appears that sometime since, in
cleaning up the old Hudson Bay
building, ten kegs of black gun-
powder were discovered in a re-
cess where they were probably
cached for defence against .pos-
sibly hostile Indians. The powder
was removed, all but one keg. A
fireman, thinking it, useless, was
about to throw the keg into the
furnace as fuel, when an assist-
ant warned him of the danger.
Fireman Billy Lunn experimented
and the resultant explosion fired
the entire keg, blowing his shack
tc fragments and terribly injuring
Lunn and two companions.

A despatch from London says:
The judgment of the Privy Coun-

Robertson, of Toronto, to have it
declared that the Grand Trunk's

tion imposing third class fares at
two cents a utile was still in force.
Tho whole question was whether
the section was ineoasistont with
the Railway Act of 1906. He held
that it was not, and also that the
Privy Council could not decide
whether the section was left on
the statutes by uesire or because
overlooked. The appeal was .leis -

Have Been Wholly or Partially Destroyed
by Earthquake in Western Persia.
A despatch from Teheran, Persia,
says: The Governor of Burujurd, a
town in southwestern Persia, has
sent out agents to investigate the
daina.ge wrought by the earth-
quake of January 3. This was the
disturbance that was registered by
seismographs around the world,
but the exact location of which
was determined only on Wedne,.s-
day.
The meagre reports that have
reached Teheran indicate that the
devastation was particularly severe
in the mountainous region be-
tween Burujurd and Luristan pro-
vince. Fifteen villages are known
to have been wholly or partially
destroyed, and it is estimated that
the total number will undoubtedly
bo more than fifty.
Sonie villages disappeared com-
pletely, and no trace can be found
of the hamlets of Bahrein and Le-
ben. It appears that not a single
soul belonging to these communi-
ties was left alive, and only the
rivers, mountains and broken val-
leys remain to tel. the tale of thia
fearful convulsion of nature.
