NORTHLANDS OF CANADA
The West Could Produce 1,300 Million
Bushels of Wheat.

A despatch from Ottawa says: In the

crop of 1906 totalled cne hundred mil-
lion bushel; on n settled area of 86,-
000,00n acres, tt was, he claimed, no

warns in Fort Sitopstot, on the Mac-
kenzie River. ns it was in Winnipeg or
Ottawa. Vegetables such as cabbage,

tor of Indian Affairs. sow as fine vege-
tables at Vert Good (lope as ever were
grown eio yellero in Canada. The
growth in U►: far north, owing to the
long days, was rapid beyond belief.
.Wheat of good quality there ran 62
pounds to the bushel, grown at Fort
Sunpson. in latitude 62. A good ninny
elatements had been made as to the avail-
able area of agricultural land in the
remote northwest. One gentleman, who
had traveled over a great portion of
this country, declared that there was
100,000,001) miles west and north of the
Athabasca. Another cempetetl witness
had said there was as much available
land in that region as was now settled
%vest of \Vinnipeg. The southern boun-
dary of the Province of Tekolsk in St-
t•erie was a hundred mikes further north
than Edmonton, yet in 1900 Tokolsk
had a ;.r,ulatiun cif 1.500.0110, and pro-
duced 64,000,000 bushels of wheat alone,
and ever 10,000.000 bushels of oats. If
this wits so, why should we not derive
an equal profit from the portions of
our Northwest 'Territories, which at pre-
sent are remote from settlement.
But in addition to its agricultural
Possibilities, enough was known about
the mineral resources of the northern
country to prove that it was possessed

per, iron. and many other nunerals.

'dem for the construction of 365 mile.,
of the \nt'onel Transcontinental Rail-
way, covering six saatots between
Moncton ni and I.ake Nepigon, were open-

Nineteen tenders were received, the con-

the national railway than was the case
last year, when lah.ir was more scarce
and wages higher. 1t is understood
that the figures quoted this spring by
een!ractors are a little lower than last
year. The names of the successful ten-
derers will not be known for some
weeks, pending Ilio report of the cont-
mission:s engineers as to the figures
quoted on each class -of work. The
Grand Trunk Pacific, as usual, tender-

chemist named Alonso. It appears that
during the carnival a man applied for
a novel kind of facial dLsguLee, and the
chemist painted on the Man's face a
large green fly. This carnival decora-
tion proved a popular success and many
other revellers called and had their fore-
heads, chocks and noses adorned with
green !mages of birds, flies and rab-
tits. Afle; the carnival ended the wear•
crs of these decorations discovered that
there was nn soap strong enough to
remove the paint, and complained to the
aulherittes. A local expert declares the
method employed is the same used by
the Indians for tatt4 )ing purposes. and
that (hese citizens of the Canary islands
will have lo weir the green pictures
for Ilse rest ot their lives. Mouse
